Hmmmm.   The image I just posted was only my second time trying dynamic hair.  The first was back with P6 and didn't go so well.   My third try was as satisfactory to me as the one above.   But without seeing a picture of what you mean by " a ton of static in it," I can't say that my results are any closer to what you want than what you have is.  I actually used a frizzy hair style (IIRC, it was called an 80's bad perm style- it's in the RDNA freebies), and changed the parameters to make it less frizzy.  No styling, just changed some settings to make sure it didn't collide with anything on the first frame.  Then I let it sim and drape.  It doesn't look frizzy to me now, but it is still strand hair without much clumpying and probably less shine than very sleek hair would have.  I haven't got much of a handle at all on either strand hair materials or basic hair type settings yet.
