hi ladies...just came across this site while looking for advice in dealing with this terrible static cling my daughter has in her hair !!!!
I've tried conditoner due to the dry winter but nothing works and I must say its sooooo frustrating to know your child would look so much better in public if her hair wasnt flying straight up in the air or sticking to the sides of her face all the time ha ha ha......

Hi Rebecca,
Have you tried leave-in conditioner? The spray in kind?
You could also use a hair creme' such as ARTec Texture Ceam or Nioxin Smoothing Cream (I don't think thats the real name but can't think ok it right now <img src="/images/graemlins/smile.gif" alt="" /> ) Use your regular conditioner and when her hair is dry, take about a pea size amount of cream and emulsify it between your palms. Then run your hands through her hair.

If that doesn't work, take heart, winter weather is almost over!

My daughter's hair is the same way, plus the snarls from overnight sleeping are horrible. I was advised to use a product by Redkin in a blue bottle called "Anti-Snap". I had found it at Target for about $10. It works pretty good, better than anything else I've tried.

Crazy as it may sound, try rubbing one of those dryer sheets (that you use for softening your clothes) over her hair after you've brushed it!

Those things are meant to cut down on static cling, that's their job, and it even helps on hair. But if you try to do it and then brush her hair, you just have to start all over again.

Michelle, you are right! I'd forgotten about that little trick! <img src="/images/graemlins/smile.gif" alt="" />

Lynne,

Would it be a a good idea to sleep with a leave-in conditioner overnight, then to rinse it out in the morning?

Would this help with static hair?

Franny,
Since it is a leave-in conditioner, there really isn't any reason to rinse it out. There are conditioners made for even the finest hair now.

Lynne,

Are there conditioners made for thick hair? I have thick hair and I have thought about applying a leave-in conditioner at night and leaving it on, and then washing my hair in the morning, but would that over condition my hair? I did read that over conditioning could weigh down the hair?

Hi Franny,
If I wanted to really condition thick hair, I would get a really good quality moisturizing conditioner with protein - or one of each and use it on my hair as described in the article The Spa Hair Treatment and then rinse it out. There is no need to leave it in over night. It will have done all it is going to do in that time.

I wouldn't use a leave-in conditioner because those are lighter and less effective than the treatments. Leave-in are light so that they don't weigh your hair down when they are left in your hair.
