However, in the long run, I'd look for more in-depth solutions. For example, you can:
- avoid static-inducing materials around your hair (wool, flannel, acrylic, etc) - if you wear a fuzzy hat, use a silk lining/scarf underneath, and consider hoods;
- sleep on silk/satin or other smooth materials;
- don't brush your hair too much with nylon/plastic bristles and other brushes/combs that cause static - use a wooden/horn comb instead.
- do pre-poo oilings or light leave-in oilings regularly;
- condition more thoroughly in winter to weigh down and moisturize your hair more (use bigger amounts of conditioner than shampoo or do double-conditioning);
- shampoo less frequently (daily shampooing might be removing too much of your natural oils leaving your hair too "stripped" and more likely to get static-y).
Personally, even though we have ridiculously dry winters here, I haven't experienced static in years due to no brushing, oiling my hair and conditioning it more intensely.
