ridiculously static hair!

[SmileAndPeopleSmileWithYou]

I have quite long hair which I usually wear down. It has suddenly gone really static all the time and its driving me crazy!

I'm using the same shampoo and I've always just left it to dry on its own after washing.
What will stop it? Am I going to have to start actually doing something with it?

I get this. Have you tried spraying hair spray on to a hair brush and then brushing your hair? This works for me

I have a GHD radial brush that cost me £25 and makes my hair really static
Pure wool snoods make my hair static
My polyester gym top makes my hair static

Any possible culprits there?

My hair is really static at the moment and it always is on ski holidays, so I'm blaming the cold dry air.
Lucky me...hair mad with static in the winter and frizzy with humidity in the summer!

I'll try the hairspray thing thanks!

Can't think of anything different I'm doing/wearing.

I've always had very easy to manage hair, guess that's over!

My hair feels really static at the moment too.. not doing anything differently so may it is thr weather. Dd's hair is generally static but has gone crazy.

Mine has also gone really static-y too in the last couple of weeks. Had no idea why, so perhaps it is the weather.

This stuff is brilliant for static-y hair. I have realy fine hair & always ended up looking like a dandelion clock until I discovered this.

Weird.Our hair has been really static of late.
I kissed DD1 goodnight earlier and we got a static shock through our lips.

its all to do with the lack of moisture in the hair... have you tried a conditioner on it? Also do you use fabric conditioner as that usually helps as well... also
just wondered if you get electric static shocks when you touch things?

Yes I often get electric shocks when I touch things and also when I take clothes off I can hear the static electricity . Even seen it in the dark ! My hair is static at the moment interesting to hear it is probably the weather . I like to get clothes drying out in fresh air but do not bother over wet colds months . I feel that makes clothes less static not sure if there is scientific evidence though.

polyester clothes? Cheap shampoo and conditioner more likely.
i have dead straight hair and expensive (KMS or Redken) never gives me the static, but anything for £3 does. Use hairspry to stop if for an instant fix.
pop some mouse (cheap is ok!) through, just a little and blow dry which will weight it down a bit.

Does it happen when you wear certain things? I have a new coat which makes my hair static - never happened before ...

It's definitely the weather.

DD, DM and I have all had really bad static over the last fortnight - I'm starting to dread touching metal handles and shelving in shops because I know what's coming!

I don't think there's much you can do about it, really.

I think it's the weather.

I'm going to get mine cut because it's quite long and the static is making knots because I also have post preg shed.

I've tried leave in conditioner that helps a bit.

I think it's a combination of weather, coming in and out of heated buildings and possibly your shampoo. I had this as a problem when I use pantene. As soon as I swap I don't get the static build up.

Not changed my clothes and am using the same old shampoo, so it's not that.

DD & I have had this for about three weeks too! We've been using and doing the same things. Glad it's not just us!
