How to Stop Static Cling in Hair

Don't despair!

Static cling can be scary, especially in the Winter months! You can thank your cozy sweaters partly for that extra static, along with some other seasonal factors. Here I'll give you some tips on how to tame your locks once and for all!

Things You'll Need

• Dryer sheets.
• Anti-static mist.
• Natural bristle brush.
• Negative ion hairdryer.

Instructions

1. The number one ingredient for eliminating flyaway hair is purchasing a negative ion hair dryer. These types of hair dryers are supposed to do less heat damage to your hair by helping break down the water molecules onto your wet hair, therefore producing less static.

2. Another item that goes hand in hand with this is using a natural-bristle brush, or at least a wide-tooth comb. Many of the synthetic-bristle brushes can cause more static for those whose hair types are more prone to it.

3. This one is an oldie but a goodie: Try using a fabric softener dryer sheet. Just run it lightly over the flyaways and watch them magically fall back into place! Keep one handy at work, in your purse, etc., as they can be used over and over.

4. Finally, some new products on the market are targeted specifically at Winter and static-y hair. A new line by Sunsilk called the Winter Collection is made up of a shampoo, a conditioner, and an anti-static mist. Try this lineup of products during the colder weather and watch your hair woes disappear!
