I’m not sure if this will help or not, but one of my dogs is a Maltese. She has very fine, soft silky wispy hair and also. She and I are constantly getting static electricity shocks in the winter even though I live in the South. There is a product that really is fantastic for removing matts but is also fabulous for dealing with static electricity. What I do instead of spraying her is spray the comb and brush that I use to comb her out. You just lightly spray periodically while your combing out. It’s called Ice on Ice by Chris Christensen. It’s also available on Amazon. Forgot to mention that it’s a leave in finishing spray. I use it daily on her and there is absolutely no build up whatsoever. My other two dogs (Yorkipoo and Maltipoo) do not have the fly away type hair (more Poodle hair than Maltese).
