Hope it helps Loobs - obviously no help for hats though!

Excellent idea, I never even considered that, thank you.

Have you tried the 1950s trick of putting a scarf over your hair before pulling on a jumper?

I can't find a decent example but this is really what I meant

Models do this all the time to protect make up and hair.
I used to tie or tuck it briefly under my chin but mostly people don't.

I always used silk.

Well, it's that time of year again - not sure if it's wearing jumpers that's the cause but this isn't a problem in the summer. I have short, thinning hair and I need all the bounce I can get. Sadly, my hair gets very flat and fly away at this time of the year, caused by static and I do think it is because I am pulling jumpers and tops on and off. I favour polo neck jumpers which seems to make things worse and it will soon be time for hats which can further exacerbate the problem . I have tried hair spray, different conditioners, no conditioner and nothing helps - can anyone offer help??
