Winter is here and my hair is plagued with very bad static all the time. I use a hair conditioner and hair spray but I can not hardly style or brush my hair. It is so embarrassing and frustrating! Any advise would be greatly appreciated! |

i hear you. i've been using olive oil as a final touch before leaving in the mornings and so far no static cling this year. after styling hair, take a few drops of olive oil and rub well into the palms. with light stroking motions gently apply a thin, very thin, gloss coat over your hair, especially the ends. its a cheap experiment. see if this works for you! also, i try to stay away from polar fleece. that material and motion acts like an electric generator. |

Moroccan oil will help the static but only use a small amount or your hair will feel greasy.
A humidifier in your home might help also in the winter. |

I do use oil before washing my hair but not after because I am afraid of my hair becoming too greasy! I have to be very careful with conditioners also! |

To reduce static:
Deep-condition your hair regularly - moisturized hair is less likely to be affected by static.
Use a "leave-in" conditioner on your hair after you wash it.
Spray your hairbrush or comb with an anti-static spray before you run it through your hair.
Keep a fabric softener sheet handy and run it over your hair.
Avoid hair products that include ingredients that will dry out your hair, such as alcohol or harsh chemicals.

My hair is very fine & straight and gets incredibly full of static. I can't use heavy conditioners because they weigh down my hair. I've been using a styling cream by Rusk called Gleam Lusterizing Cream. I use a tiny bit (small pea-sized for my shoulder length shag haircut), concentrated mainly on the ends. I use something for body near the roots (usually Rusk Thick volumizing spray). The Gleam keeps my hair from being staticky (?) without weighing it down, as long as I don't use too much. I haven't had that kind of luck with other shine products - still had static. And I can't use any kind of "anti-frizz" products - they are just too heavy or oily for my hair. |

for anti-static, any day cream will help.
Two good ones are phyto #7 (or phyto #9--both lightweight and hydrating day creams)
and
Kerastase substance constructive.

I was told to use hairspray for those unexpected static by spraying it on your comb and it will control the static. |

I keep a couple of dryer sheets at work for emergencies. Just run it over the static and it seems to calm it. |

I have read that light rubbing your hair with a fabric softener sheet will fix this. |

water works better, and is easier.
a little water on the hands diminishes static immediately. i use this trick all the time in winter when my jacket mkes my dress stick to my tights--i head straight for the bathroom and wet my hands and rub them on my legs. it works just as well as static-guard!
