How to Eliminate Static in Hair

Static in your hair? Heaters and winter weather can make your hair terribly dry, damaged and then.....static-y. Don't worry, you won't have to cover your hair all winter with hats and bandannas- the solution is very simple!

Difficulty: Easy

Instructions

Things You'll Need:

• Static guard
• Comb or brush (or your hands if you don't use either)

1. 
    

   Spray a little "Static Guard" onto your hands, and your comb or brush if you're using 'em.

2. 
    

   Now run your hands over your hair and brush or comb through dry hair. You can also use hair spray or anti-frizz serum, but that's probably not exactly a news-flash for you.

3. 
    
   Tada! No static

   Repeat as necessary- once or twice should be enough. Now your hair should be laying down normal and you're good to go.

4. Oh, and one more thing, while I realize that this sounds silly, it's still worth following: in the winter-time try to avoid shuffling your feet when walking on the carpet (this also helps you avoid getting shocked when you touch a light-switch).

Tips & Warnings

• Use leave-in hair conditioner after you towel-dry your hair.
• Don't use a hair-dryer until your hair is mostly dry- it's damaging and drying to your hair, plus it doesn't add any more volume in your hair until it's almost dry.
• Don't spray static guard directly into hair. Or hairspray in your eyes (obviously).

on 5/24/2008 Great idea. Making sure your hair is conditioned well helps also and I have heard of wipeing a fabric softener sheet over the hair a couple times helps.Thanks for the idea Staysic.
