Oh No! The perils of "Static Cling"





Static Electricity - The accumulation of electrons on the surface of a material.
Cause - Two things rubbed against one another...Friction anyone?
More static occurrences in the winter? Because it's so freaking DRY!
Ben Franklin - Flying a kite in the middle of a thunderstorm in order to witness static electricity. Logically...

Annoying effect of 'static electricity' . . Behold: Static Cling!

Culprit: the polyester fabric of our clothes "made in China".
Conflict: It rubs against other material or dry skin and creates the static electricity. The positive charge of your legs attracts with the negative charge of the polyester.
Solution: rub a metal hanger along the article of clothing, the metal will remove the static electricity
Or... use more lotion!

*Personal tip on how to reduce the static electricity that causes 'annoying' flyaway hairs: spray Static Guard onto your comb or hair brush before brushing your hair. Weird. But it works!
