Removing hair on laundry without a tumble dryer

Bit of a bizarre one here...

Am having a bit of a 'shedhead' at the moment for a variety of reasons & my clothes are getting the brunt of it.

I brush & lint off as much hair as possible before I wash them in the machine but there's still quite a lot on the clothes when they come out.
I clean the machine & sort out the filter regularly, that's not a problem, it's just my strands are sticky little buggers & stay put.

I DON'T HAVE A TUMBLE DRYER!!

When I look online, all the tips are for putting various doo-dahs in a tumble dryer.

Does anyone have any tips for me & my humble washing machine?

Perhaps not a practical solution but wear a hat and periodically, say once every 2 hours, give your hair a good brush through, over a sink.

Is your hair loss something you're getting medical attention for?

A hot wash. Like 70-90°c, I know very uneconomical but it's the only cycle that gets hair out of the dog beds/towels/blankets. With general washing powder.

Yes I am getting medical attention for the hair loss.
Thanks for the advice!

Go over your clothes with a rubber glove?
But of a faff though.

Wrap wooden spoon in sellotape, sticky side facing out.

I find hanging clothes works better than folding them, so if you can hang things out on hangers and give them a good shake!
