Line the drawer you keep your brushes in with dryer sheets, or stick a dryer sheet under your pillow at night while you’re sleeping to help prevent static. There are anti-static sheets specifically designed for getting rid of static in your hair, too.
Only use a small amount of lotion. Too much can weigh your hair down. Run your fingers through your hair to spread the lotion. Focus on the ends and any areas with notable fly-aways.
If you’re in an environment that produces static in your hair, pull your hair up out of your face just until you leave.
For example, you could try sleeping with your hair tied in a silk scarf or using a silk pillowcase to protect your hair from static. Stay away from synthetic materials like polyester or nylon.
If your hair tends to get greasy easily, this might not be the best method for you. Try using dry shampoo on days you don’t wash your hair with shampoo. This will help to control the grease.
Using natural bristles as opposed to plastic ones will also greatly reduce static.
If you’re wrapping your hair in a T-shirt, try to find a large one that will accommodate all of your hair easily.
Before you use the hair dryer, spray a heat protectant on your hair. This will help prevent static while also protecting your hair from getting damaged.
Remember to wait until your hair is completely dry before using a hot tool on it to prevent damage.
Hair oil and moisturizing creams are also options for a quick, on-the-go fix. You can find hair oil and moisturizing creams at a beauty supply or big box store, as well as online.
Use a conditioner every time you shampoo for best results. When picking out your conditioner or other hair care products, try to stay away from ingredients that dry your hair out, such as alcohol.
Applying a moderate amount of alcohol-free hairspray to your hair can actually help prevent static.
Rub your fingers through your hair to evenly distribute the cream. Avoid putting too much anti-frizz cream on your scalp, especially if you have fine or straight hair. These products tend to be a bit heavy, and when they mix with the natural oils of your scalp, your hair can look greasy and flat.
