If your seats can get wet without being damaged, this is an easy, fast way to remove hair. Simply ring out a wet cloth and wipe down the hair-covered areas. Take a dry towel to the seats after to dry up the remaining water and give it some time before sitting down so you don’t get your rear end wet.  

Vacuum cleaner 

This might be the most practical way to clean up the hair, as long as you’re near a power outlet. Just use your vacuum’s hose to go over all of the hair you see and bam, it’s gone. If you have a hand-held vacuum, that is probably the best way to go.
