If your hair does that, immediately lie down on the ground.

Or perhaps not - if you are lying on the ground and there is a nearby lightning strike, the potential difference between your head and feet could be enough to kill you. It might be better to crouch down low rather than lying down.

If you feel a tingling sensation or your hair stands on end, lightning may be about to strike. Do not lie down. Instead, crouch down, tuck your head, and cover your ears.

Or maybe start jumping up as high as possible so as not to be grounded when the event takes place .

I also heard that about crouching down but assumed laying down would be better since you would be lower. I wonder why crouching is better than laying?

Id say a better option is to take your chances picking a direction and run! I aint sticking around an area where my hair stands on end.
