10 Easy Ways to Get Rid of Hair Static
It's cold and dry outside and I've got a horrible case of static cling -- in mah hair. Yesterday, my hair was so dry and staticky that I could hardly style it, and unfortunately I was out of town on a work trip, so I didn't have much with me to solve the problem. Today, I'm back home, ready to tackle the problem and eliminate the flyaways for good. I've found a few easy ways to get rid of hair static fast.
Use Dryer Sheets
I learned this tip a few years ago and have been using it ever since. Dryer sheets can really help with hair static. I rub them on my brushes and combs and even run them along my hair to eliminate those pesky flyaways. I also keep my combs and brushes wrapped in dryer sheets in the wintertime to keep them static-free.
Use Moroccanoil Frizz Control Spray
Although other sprays on the market are cheaper, I received this Moroccanoil Frizz Control Spray as a sample and it has worked wonders. It's totally worth the $20 price tag if you have a problem with frizz and/or static. It eliminated my staticky hair problem like magic, without leaving my hair feeling weighed down.
Use More Hairspray
Spray a good amount of hairspray onto a brush and just brush hair while it's still damp. It really helps get rid of the static. I highly recommend Elnett by L'Oreal. It's expensive, but amazing because it holds without giving hair that sticky, hairsprayed quality.
Dry With an Ionic Hairdryer
This kind of dryer not only hugely reduces how long it takes to dry one's hair (I know because I have one), but it also reportedly neutralizes the electric charges that create static. These hair dryers aren't necessarily expensive, either -- I got mine for $20 at the drugstore.
