How do you choose to fight static in the hair.  In winter when i brush my hair it sticks all over my face  lol

During the winter I have my humidifier running and this seems to help quite a bit. I have long hair and so does my dog. She hates it when she gets a shock when I go to pet her so the humidifier is a must around here. Also, I placed some witch hazel in a spray bottle and I use it on my brush and comb. I spray some garments with it, too.

ETA - I used to use Static Guard spray. But I don't feel comfortable using it anymore because of personal preferences. I switched to using the witch hazel instead.

You can either rub a fabric softener sheet over your hair or use some shine oil or spray.  That's what I do.

Yes, a humidifier, a Bounce sheet lightly rubbed over hair, or Static Guard spray works well too.

I agree and also run a humidifier, but conditioner helps my hair to stay static free.

@kcladyz  I have very fine hair that gets staticy, especially in the winter.  I use the Calista Tools Achieve 10 product and love it.  It's very lightweight so it doesn't weigh my hair down and it doesn't feel like there's any product in my hair.  It just leaves it smooth and static free.  I also like that it doesn't have a heavy scent as I am very sensitve to perfumes.  The Q doesn't have it right now and it's sold out on the Calista site, but it is available on Amazon.  I really love this product.  It works well for me.

@kcladyz,   You definitely need a cool water humidifier.  You can buy a really small one for your bedroom and larger unit for living room.  It will help your hair and skin immensely.

Check on your furnace. Your humififier may not be working properly or may need to be cleaned. If not cleaned regularly or replaced frequently, the humidifier filters may have become nasty with hard water minerals.

I wasn't aware the humidifier needed any kind of care.  Little things like that were never in my "job description" before DH's death. When I had the furance serviced the first fall, the technician knew DH was a stickler for such things and checked the humidifier for me (without charge). It was time to tomove the insert and rinse the filter! He taught me how remove it and sold me a new one to keep on hand just in case. Helps to do business with the same company for years and years; they know you and your habits!

That was 12 years ago. I've been checking the humidifier (during the heating season) each time I check the furnace filter. Installed a new HVAC system about six years ago and made sure the built-in humidifier was included again.  The air is comfortable 365 days a year.

I put a little bit of conditioner in my hand and scrunch through my hair.
