wow, some situation you have there :)In sync with Dawns suggestion, what you could do is find yourself a spray bottle that sprays fine mist instead of heavy drops,put in a little water and maybe even a little bit of your favorite conditioner, and spray your hair once in a while and smooth it back.Spray your comb and brush.Also as you comb/brush your hair, whenever you brush your hair,try smoothing it with the other hand.You could also try Louise Marie's Magic spray.Its supposed to work pretty well.Good luck!!!

Staticy hair used to be a big problem for me too, but its easy to control if you think about the way electrons work. You just need to reverse the charge that your hair has built up. Dry air is indeed a culprit, but so are certain types of clothing I've found. Polyesters and acrylics are the worst, but wool is a big problem too. Cotton and other natural fiber clothing will help eliminate static buildup but the simplest solution is just to run your brush under some water then give it a really good shake so its not too wet. Run this over your hair and the little bit of moisture left will recharge your hair so its electrons aren't attracted to everything in sight! You may have to do this a few times a day of course, especially in winter, but its quick, easy and free! I use a boar bristle brush to keep static down, but some folks hate those and swear by plastic. Just find which works for you because the water trick works with either type of brush.Good luck! Happy New Year to everyone!Dawn

A problem thats persistant may need the advice of an electricity expert. For now, I would keep trying different hairsprays, spray conditioners etc. and hopefully someone will come on here with a real tried and true remedy for static. It seems since I've been using Alterna products I especially encounter no static. Maybe those Californians put something in the product that incidentally works for static.Ha I wonder how "static guard" would work? drastic times call for drastic measures. Just hope It would'nt have adverse effects on the hair. Well, good luck. At least ther is always hope for spring. While you are having this problem, be sure to show your daughter how fun it is to stick balloons to the wall by rubbing them on your head first.

Hello, am a newbie here and am hoping someone can help me out! My 6 year old daughter and myself suffer horribly from static hair. I have used leave-in conditioners, wash-out conditions, supposed static control brushes [which was a joke. Brought it home, brushed my hair and looked like I stuck my finger in a socket]. I have come close to carrying a dryer sheet with me to rub on my head so please help with any suggestions to control static electricity hair! BTW, I even used humidifiers and still doesn't help. I live in PA, which is cold and furnace is on constantly. HELP!!
