Static hair can be a big problem during the winter when the cold, dry air dehydrates hair. Here are some ways to calm those electric locks.
Instructions
STEP 1: Deep-condition your hair regularly. (See Related eHow "How to Deep-Condition Hair".) Properly moisturized hair is less likely to be affected by static. STEP 2: Use a "leave-in" conditioner on your hair after you wash it, or apply conditioning hair gel. These products help to weigh the hair down. STEP 3: Spray your hairbrush or comb with an anti-static spray before you run it through your hair. STEP 4: Keep a fabric softener sheet handy and run it over your hair when it starts to get out of control. Carry it in your purse so you can use it several times during the day if necessary. STEP 5: Avoid hair products that include ingredients that will dry out your hair, such as alcohol or harsh chemicals such as sodium lauryl sulfates. Overall Tips & Warnings
Spraying an anti-static product into hats and hoods will reduce with flyaway hair.
Using a wooden comb or brush helps reduce static electricity.

Answer 3

For your hair, here a fly away and staticy mixture: 1/2 cup of water 1/2 teaspoon of lemon juice 1/4 teaspoon of lime juice Put in spray bottle. Shake to mix. Spray onto hair to tame static. Store the rest in your refrigerator.

Spray a hairbrush with hair spray and brush your hair with it. Do this after your hair is dry. You'll have no more static.

Hair full of static electricity, try using conditioner in your hair when you wash it. After washing with shampoo, then put conditioner in and leave in about a minute then rinse out and style as usual!

Dryer sheets work amazingly well on static-y hair. You just rub it over your hair, and it is instantly tamed. And the best part is that you can reuse the sheets!!!

Answer 4

Static guard on your hair brush, spray water in your hair, or rub it with a dryer sheet, use hair serum, and avoid metal bristled brushes.

Prevention:
Look into the clothes you wear, it is most likely the culprit. For instance, I had a nice wool scarf that was making my hair staticky, I rubbed it with a dryer sheet and haven't had a problem since.

Answer 5

ok so for an answer that doesn't consist of the dryer sheet theory, you can try 2 lil things i've learned to use always considering i have the same problem. my hair is very long and has a lot of natural oils therefore there are lots of treatments that will weigh my hair down. so in the morning when i'm washing my hair close to the end of my shower i apply a nickel size amount of Dove weightless moisturizer conditioner only to the end of my hair then i rinse most of it out after letting it sit for a minute (but not all of it, you'll still want it to be a tid bit slick). after doing my normal style regime i use TRESemme anti-frizz secret smoothing creme in the ultra light formula. i use about a dime size amount in my palms then rub em together flip my hair over and run it along the backside of my hairs. after you finishede styling try to keep from brushing a lot, this my cause my static and flyaways. goodluck!

Answer 6

I don't know if you're old enough to remember this, but years ago gasoline and oil trucks used to drag a short chain behind them to discharge any static electricity before it could build up to a level that might cause a spark and a fire.

You should do likewise. Go to the hardware store and ask for a length of medium chain. Get it long enough so that it just drags along the floor as you walk. That should keep you electrically neutral and your "staticky hair" problems will be "all behind you".

Answer 7

i have long hair that gets REALLY staticky especially in the winter and i found that the best thing to to is either use liquid fabric softener as conditioner, or run a fabric softner sheet through your hair when its dry (both work, but depending on the liquid it might leave your hair looking and feeling greasy so test it out when you dont have to go any where sometime)

Answer 8

taking good care of my hair is very important to me , so I do have some good advise . but it is not for everyone . first of all do not use crap in your hair , like hair spray or gel,or even moose. I was a hairspray user all growing up and thought my hair wouldn't hold with out it and one day I got sick of the smell and feel and my hair stays curled just fine . don't use cheep products. smooth it out with silk therapy from fantastic Sam's .use sun silk it is inexpensive ,not cheep.both these products are GREAT and use a conair straightener any other good straightener .use a tresemme conditioner with vitamin e , you can use alittle bit on your hair before you straighten it for frizz control , and straighten your hair alittle damp , that way it will steam it dry for a better look and its better for your hair ,happy styling

Answer 9

after i am all done with the flat iron, i take a very tiny drop of my favorite scent of fabric softener and rub it into damp palms, and smooth through my hair---no more static and my hair smells great! you can also use a dryer sheet, or even rub the softener or the sheet into your hairbrush. if you are using a hair dryer, apply the softener to your towel dried hair--but not too much! just a dab! also,they make special hair brushes and combs that eliminate static, but i don't know who makes them. they are made of wood, the ones i am thinking of.

Answer 10

Yes when you have staticky hair go get your brush wet it a little and brush your hair if it is still staticky put more water on there.

Answer 11

This actually works, crazy as it sounds. Take a dryer sheet and rub your hair with it. Not only does it work for clothes static, but hair static too.
