Static electricity is generated whenever two materials are in contact with each other. One material becomes charged positively, and the other negatively.
Combing or brushing your hair can electrically charge your hair
Walking across a synthetic carpet with similar soles on your shoes can generate electricity throughout your whole body
Being near an electrically charged object can also have the same effect on your hair
Material from your clothes can have a similar effect also
What seems apparent is that something you do or wear on a regular basis is causing you to become staticly charged. Find out what that is (only you know) and change it and you can minimise the likelihood of your hair standing on end.
In electronics, electro-static discharge (ESD) can easily destroy components. Using an earth strap equalises any built up static electricity in the body.
Earthing yourself or the object would have the same effect i.e. hold a metal tap/faucet or sink/basin for a few seconds (theyre earthed)

You can put in a leave-in smoother/conditioner. I have also used the aerosol Static Guard with great results. You spray it on your brush, wait a second and then brush it through your hair -- reapply it to the brush every 4 or 5 strokes of brushing. It has a slight smell but it will go away as the Static Guard dries. Another static removal method that I have used when I brush my hair is to brush my hair by a houseplant. Every couple of brushing strokes, I will touch the leaves of the houseplant to neutralize the static charge that has built up in my hairbrush. This will not eliminate the static later (after brushing, as the Static Guard will) but, it works for a quick brush.

I had problems with my hair having static several years ago each winter. This was my solution and has worked PERFECT every year.
1. Buy a fabric softener (liquid) for rinse cycle.
2. Make sure the fabric softener also reduces static cling. It will say on the label.
3. Buy fabric softener sheets for dryer.
4. Wash and then rinse with fabric softener on all your bedding, towels, undies, & clothes.
5. Place a fabric sheet in dryer when drying clothes.
This has kept me static free for several years now. I have passed this on to my friends and they ALL agree.
IT WORKS!!!

There are several great anti-frizz products out there. Tresemme's curl defining lotion also helps prevent static, and Pantene's anti-frizz cream smells really good.
Both of these are cheap, and they leave your hair feeling smooth, and not greasy or sticky.
Avoid John Frieda Frizz-Ease; everybody I know who's tried the stuff complains that it feels like putting oil in their hair, plus it doesn't work that well.

Static is caused under dry conditions and generally wearing or rubbing against synthetics/plastics. Humidity, wet scalp/hair, not wearing synthetic clothes will all help.

Try wiping a fabric softener sheet over your head! Peace!

Any sort of gel or mouse while styling your hair will help. Also, there are defrizzing sprays that you can use, too.
