They really are great aren't they! I've been using them for years as I don't like to use fabric sheets and softener is just a PIA. (they do smell good tho!)

I have Static Guard near me at all times! My hair gets static-y easily and I can't stand it. I spray it on my brush. So, at home, in my bag, in the desk drawer at work. It works!

You gals are full of great ideas!! Thanks! Rachel is reading them as they come through.

When she asked me--I remembered Static Guard, but I knew exactly where to go to get more ideas. :-D

Mamabear--I had a suitemate in college who once applied Downy liquid fabric softener) to her hair...as the result of misunderstanding that the fabric softener recommended was intended to be in the form of a dryer sheet! I can't remember what event we attended, but she didn't have time to wash her hair, so it was very flat but smelled nice!

I have heard, but not tried this, pin a safety pin to an inside seam. It is suppose to take the static right out of your outfit!

Baby powder....sprinkle on the INSIDE of the skirt.

We always used static guard

the tennis balls and hair spray really do work for me

A safety pin in the hem of a garment will control static in the fabric.
