Afternoon beauty fix: Salvage static-y post-blow-dry hair with a simple sweep

What can I do to salvage my static-y hair post-blow-dry? Dryers usually take the blame for fly-away hair but the actual culprit is the plastic handle on your brush. Plastic conducts electricity, resulting in frizz, but an alternative material like wood will cut the current before it reaches your hair. Kevin Murphy’s Roll Brush ($69, kevinmurphy.com.au) has a lightweight mahogany handle and a barrel of boar bristles, which smooth natural oils from root to tip and gently repair damaged hair.
