What can I do to get rid of the static in my hair?

Answer 1

Spray statis guard on a brush or on your hands and just smooth it over your hands. Doesn't smell too great but it does the trick.

Answer 2

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

The two major reasons for flyaway hair are low humidity (which is more common during the winter) and blow-drying. To control the problem, follow these tips:

. Apply an instant conditioner daily: This makes hair more manageable by locking in moisture.

. After shampooing, use a comb or a rubber-bristle brush (nylon and plastic bristles induce static).

.Mist combs and brushes with hair spray or an antistatic spray like Static Guard.

Answer 4

Dryer anti-static sheet use or unused works fine, I prefer used it does not have the smell, I leave it in my packet or tuck it hidden on the body. This prevents static build up on hair as well as clothing. Pant and shirt sleeve do not stick in awkward uncomfortable places.

I avoid static shock while flipping switches also. As I do not build up static walking on certain surfaces that are static build up proven.

Answer 5

I know a quick fix... something to do when you are heading out of the door and you notice your hair is charged:
Sounds weird, but run one of those dryer sheets (scented or unscented) through your hair. It doesn't leave any residue and it gets rid of the static.

Answer 6

Depending on your hair type. There is variations of which way to go.
Some say club soda just misted, I personally use a little bit of liquid fabric softener in my conditioner (keeps it smelling good to)
Usually that means a dry environment, try sleeping in a room with a humidifier at night to keeps moisture as your scalp could get dry. And the dryer sheets work to but they can weigh down a thinner texture hair.

Answer 7

dryer sheets work amazing. I learned this from my hairdresser, just take an unused dryer sheet and rub it throughout your hair and it will take the static out of your hair just as it does clothes and it won't leave it greasy or anything.

Answer 8

dryer sheets work amazing, i swear by them.

you can use them used or unused but i think they work better used. plus they don't have that stiff feeling or smell.
