I run water over my hair brush bristles before brushing it. I have static problems every morning when I go to fix my hair. But, I only put my hair in a pony tail, so I don't know if that makes a difference.

Static is so annoying!

Try spraying some static guard on a hair brush and then brush it through your hair.

Most hot oil treatments dont really condition your hair, though it does leave it 'looking' shiny & smooth. Your split ends are still there they are just smoothed away. The only way you can rid of the static is to wash & condition with a good conditioner. Drying & ironing can cause static to dry hair. Carry a dryer sheet with you they help but not much. Water, hairspray will only work for a minute too...

When my hair gets staticky, I wash my hair brush and make sure all old hair is out of it and then I spray my brush with hair spray and let it dry before using it.
I almost never use hair spray on my thin hair, but I certainly use it on my brush.
Hope it helps!

spray bottle of water.
lightly mist your hair or hair brush then brush it.
Also running a humidifier at night will put moisture in air and help with the static

dont use too much hairspray on straight hair bc it will make it tangly. Use a quarter-size amount of mousse and apply it to your hair, but make sure you spread it on your hands first, you dont want it all in one place as that willmake your hair look greasy.

good luck :)

Try a leave in conditioner, they come in a 'lotion' form and in a spray bottle. I have some made by Paul Mitchell and you need a little, about the size of a pea, put it on your hand rub them together and rub through your hair. If you're in a big hurry you can purchase a spray conditioner. Talk to your beautition or just go to a salon and ask what they recommend.

answers from Jackson on

I agree with Kelly S- static guard is the best
if you don't have it, get some for next time
I use the hairspray trick too if I don't have the static guard
a little water sprinkled on your brush periodically will work too
