Steps

Step 1
Use light shampoo
Use a shampoo without harsh chemicals. Some shampoos strip natural oils from your hair, contributing to static cling.
-
Step 2
Condition deeply
Condition your hair with a deep conditioner to retain moisture.
-
Perform a hot oil treatment. Purchase a kit from a drugstore and follow the directions.
-
Step 3
Do not over-dry
Avoid over-drying your hair. Use an ionic ceramic hair dryer designed to eliminate static without over-drying.
-
Use a regular hair dryer but leave your hair damp to prevent over-drying.
-
Step 4
Moisturize twice a week
Moisturize your hair twice a week with hair oil to prevent flyaways.
-
Step 5
Spray comb or brush with hairspray
Spray comb or brush with hairspray before use. This eliminates friction that causes hair to stand at attention.
-
Did you know? You can rub a non-scented dryer sheet through your hair to remove static cling.
