Q:

Are you a windjammer hair stylist?

Who carries a rycote comb with them and combs their windjammer when no-one's looking?
I've seen some pretty matted-down windjammers and tribbles and I can't help but think that it affects the audio quality.
How do you keep your windjammers in excellent condition and still soft and fuzzy?

A:

I use the comb before every session if I can help it, and make sure to air it out when it gets wet by hanging it on the mic stand.  If it got really wet, I'll blow dry it lightly then hang it to dry (much in the same vain of drying a dress shirt).

A:

When no one's looking? I have no shame. If it's windy and dusty out, I'll do it whenever the camera isn't rolling...just to break down potential trouble spots as they develop. It's all those light individual fibers that cuts the wind noise, and the jammer is more effective when they're not all matted down. I'll give it a good once over at the end of the day after I've taken it off of the windscreen too.
Like Stavrosound mentioned, dealing with moisture quickly will extend the life of the jammer. [Never used the blowdryer trick though. That's a great idea.] Once I know it's good and dry, mine goes into a ziplock bag with a dessicant to keep it that way.

A:

I comb before most sessions. If I'm by the sea, in a humid or dusty country, I'll comb it at the end of the day. I cringe when I see people shoot with them matted, I've never tested but must be pretty bad for the sound. 
Also, I put it inside out while traveling and storing it.
