I've heard that static sheets - like the ones you put in the dryer help. Just rub it on your hair, and on the brush. Hope I helped!  ------------- |

Putting jojoba on the hair helps. On really dry and cold days, after I've put on as much jojoba as my hair seems to want, I work in some melted cocoa butter, little by little. After that there's never any static. -------------

Using a real hard rubber comb helps a bit. The static is due to the low air humidity (very common in winter). The easiest and cheapest way to remove the static is to increase humidity again - slightly wet your hands and pass them over your hair. The static will be gone. Making sure your hair is "well fed" by conditioner/oils helps too, but makes it greasier thus not a good option should you have fine hair and want volume. ------------- |

Keeping your hair wet all the time isn't a option for most people, either. As soon as it starts to dry around the edges, it flies away again. Fine wet hair has no volume, anyway. -------------

I didn't say to keep your hair wet all the time, just moisturise it. When it has been moisturised, the static electricity is gone. When it is completely dry and gets static again there is another factor in play. E.g. the rubbing of hair against sweaters (wool, fleece, ... especially) recharges the hair. But I'd guess that's quite obvious. Want static electricity? Rub wool over plastic ... ------------- |

Perhaps you live in a damper climate. If I brushed my hair with a wet brush this time of the year, it would be bone dry again in 15 minutes tops. Sometimes you just have to make compromises to survive the winter. I was out moving snow with a ski mask and goggles yesterday. Not good for the fashion image. -------------

Spray that static cling spray on your brush (and stay away from plastic bristles - use boar bristles) and spray a little bit of static spray in the air and walk into it (like you would do with perfume). It helps!! ------------- This is because I can spell konfusion with a K It's hard to like it It's to dying in anothers arms And why i had to try it... - Something Corporate "Konstantine" |
