my hair is FULL of static! - YorkieTalk.com Forums

marcerella02 · 02-08-2009, 12:51 PM

I have a lot of hair- and with it being winter- it is FULL of static which leads me to ALWAYS having to putting up in a pony tail. I use a leave in conditioner but it doesn't seem to be doing much- any other suggestions?

Rub a bounce sheet over it

You have beautiful hair Marci! I hate fly-aways. I'm not a leave in-conditioner girl. I do like a couple wash out conditioners though - I like a couple of Samy's products - even though my hair is pretty thick my favorite is his Fat Hair line FAT Hair “0” Calories THICKENING products are revolutionary! -- if you have Walgreens up there, you should be able to buy his product. He is often on HSN. So I know you can find his products at HSN.com Official Site

I also like Biolage products & Infusium 23

if all else fails - a bit of Static Guard sprayed on your hair brush helps - smells strange - but it does work

We got a humidifier a little while ago for Mazee's cough, the vet suggested it. I can tell a huge difference in my hair when it is on. Mine and Mazee's hair both have less static, LOL

Rub a dryer sheet through it. Keep one in your pocket for touch-ups. Also spray static guard on your hair brush and brush it through, that works the best. It might be your leave-in conditioner contributing to the problem. You might want to stop using that and just use a rinse out conditioner instead.

I have used this for years, never noticed it doing anything for static but I love the shine it gives. Just use a little or else it will make your hair greasy.

Yes.. the dryer sheet helps. Keep in your pocket and rub it with your hands now & then as you remember.

I'm so full of static, it's not funny. I turn off a lightswitch and I can SEE the lightening bolts shoot out to my fingertips.

I've gotten where I go up & turn off the lights with my elbow.

I kiss my husband, and a jolt shoots thru our lips... so I turn a cheek to him now..

I switched shoes to more rubbery soles (those suede boots with fleece lining) and that seems to help.

Otherwise, I feel for ya girl. But don't touch me ok?
