Do you use liquid fabric softner or dryer sheets? I think the dryer sheets are much better for controlling static. Sometimes I put two in.

I wish I knew. With my 1 and 1/2 dogs (I dogsit a beagle a lot), I look like some crazy cat lady nearly everyday of my life.

This is probably lame advice, and I'm sure you've tried it..but do you use those tape-roller-thingies? Those work wonders for me.

Some fabrics are more prone to catching lint and things than others. I have a cute little coat from Target that I love, but never wear because within five minutes it's attracted every loose speck in the universe. I feel like I have to constantly de-lint it.

There are certain types of cotton, especially, that are lint-catchers...once you've owned one, you can usually tell by the feel of others like it in the store, and avoid them. And of course anything fuzzy, like wool or cashmere, tends to be more prone to this problem, so you have to just be more diligent. I use lint brushes - I have one upstairs by the closet, another in the laundry room, and a third, compact one that I take with me when traveling. So that helps some.

As far as hair - I do my hair / makeup in my bra, and then put on my top after. Otherwise I'd find that people would actually start picking loose hairs off of the back of my tops! I seem to lose a ton of hair when I'm blow-drying, etc.

Other than avoiding certain fabrics and being pretty diligent about lint-brushing, that's all I know to do.
