I need advice. My hair has lots of static electricity. I always use a conditioner rinse. What can I do to get rid of the fly away hair in my face?

I agree that using a dryer sheet helps get rid of static in hair. REALLY WORKS.

I have looked for things to get static out of my hair and i can't find anything! any suggestions.? I think it's just because the weather because this doesn't happen in the summer. But I still need to know how to get through the winter without static, it tends to be VERY annoying!

I have very long hair and so do my 2 daughters. We always use a dryer sheet. We stick one in our coat pocket or purse. Cheap because it lasts for ages and it smells nice too.

I have the static problem, too! Also, don't wear leather. The static in the material could also help pick up static!

I actually figured it out, my static might be caused by the fact that I wear the rubber crocs shoes constantly in the house. They cause very much static and pick up small dog hairs that get inside the shoe and pick my feet. I just bought a new pair without the holes. They work better. But I still have a little static. Maybe I'll adjust the humidistat on the furnace too. Oh well, we'll snow bound today anyway. Lots of time to do those things. Thanks for everyones suggestions though.

Paul Mitchell's "Skinny Serum" works great!

Hello,
My Mama has the same problem. She's been using drying sheets. She says, it's works for her. Have a good one and good luck. mvb

I use Jonathan's "Dirt". It is a little expensive but a little goes a long way so a jar lasts a long time.

you could just tell everyone, "It's because of your magnetic personality". LOL, I've done that before and just laughed it off. If they see you're laughing at yourself, it's not so bad, then. My hair is short, if I don't use conditioner or a shampoo with conditioner in it, my hair lays flat on my head, but if I use a hair gel or styling gel & then blow dry, my hair will stand up and wave in the wind, but I leave it that way for about 30 minutes while I'm finishing getting ready, then go back to see my hair, & by then, it's usually laid down & in a nice looking way. So then I use hair spray to keep it from standing up again or blowing when I get outside.

Try a different brand of conditioner.

I have the same problem. If you're in a pinch rub some lotion into your hands then run through your hair. It won't last all day but will do for a while.
Also, try using spray on condition. You can spray it on your hair without getting a buildup. Make your own conditioner to save money.

Try getting a bottle of "Leave-In Conditioner" and using that a few times a day.

Spray Static Guard on your hair brush before you use it, never directly on your hair and beware getting it in your eyes. I have thin, sparse, dry hair in winter and this trick has never failed me.

Check out this website, it's the best! I clicked on Boards, then the Hair boards then typed Static for search, here is what I got. This website is great for reviews and help.

I hate it - I have the same problem all year long, not just during the winter. I have the static in my hair and in my clothes.

I have tried dryer sheets, but they don't work for me. Plus I have tried so many different tricks that don't work for me either.

I always have a can of Static Guard with me. One at work and one at home and one when I travel. It's the only thing that works for me, but even then sometimes I still have static in my hair.

Try it and maybe you will have good luck! I hope so!

Smoochie :)

Try using a pomade as your final styling step. I've had good results from Pantene's. You might also consider applying a moisture serum before blow-drying. And if you like straight hair, a (high-quality) flatiron will probably do the trick.
