The Easier Way To...

Stop Flyaways

Next time you whip off your hat to find your hair standing on end, rub an unscented dryer sheet over the flyaways, says David Evangelista, a hairstylist in New York City. To further calm static, use a conditioner that contains cetrimonium chloride (like Neutrogena Triple Moisture Daily Deep Conditioner, $7; drugstores). The positively charged ingredient dissipates the negative charge that causes flyaways, says Mort Westman, a cosmetic chemist in Oak Brook, Illinois. This two-pronged strategy will cut down on your hair-raising experiences. — Alessandra Foresto
