Question Posted Wednesday January 16 2008, 8:28 am
My hair is always staticy. It never fails. Everyday I put lotion in it and it stays down for about 5 mins. Then it pops back in to static-mode. I hate it so bad. Is there anything I can do about this besides putting excess lotion and hairspray in my hair?

1) make sure your hair is moisturized. leave-in conditioner will help a lot in this section. Also, anything that will weigh your hair down (such as the conditioner) OR frizz cream will do.
2) Carry dryer sheets with you. They eliminate the static in your hair.
3) Don't wear hoods..uless you have static guard to put inside the hood to make it less staticy in there, thus, less static for your hair!
and finally,
4) When you go outside wear your hair up.

If you use arm and hammer with both the detergent and softner then it will take out some of the static in your clothes. Also if you put in a drier sheet when drying your clothes it will take all the static out. Your clothes are what is causing the static in the first place. A good way to keep it down for good is using a straightner for your hair also. It heats the hair and burns all the static out. [ Advicelady6798's advice column | Ask Advicelady6798 A Question ]
