How do you get hair out of clothes

I cut DS's hair myself using clippers and scissors but I find that even after putting the clothes through the washing machine, the hair remains on the clothes. He complains they are itchy.

I can't believe I will have to throw the top away, surely there is an easy way of getting the hairs out, I just don't know what it is.

tumble dryer?

I generally leave the clothes on the washing line to blow for a day or so. Cutting their hair with no clothes on, or a special cape is the easiest way to get round this. Then just shower down or bath them afterwards.

A hairdresser told me to put the top in the dryer BEFORE washing to remove the hair s washing pushes the hair further in....

I don't have a tumble dryer so thats out of the question. I could leave them on the washing line in the garden for a day or so, if only it would stop raining for a short while.

Looks like I should give up trying to get the hair of out the top. Luckily it was just a pyjama top, but next time he can get his clothes off first!

a good shake?

sellotape?

Its short pieces of hair, really impossible to get out.
I often wonder how hairdressers get the hair off their own clothes.

Looks like some good idea here that should have been done before the top went through the washing machine. At least I know for next time now. He is due another hair cut soon too.
