Flyaways can be caused by a variety of factors, just as there are many other hair care challenges. Product buildup is one of the most common causes. It is imperative to properly clean and moisturize your hair to keep it looking smooth and to prevent it from feeling weighed down. Chemical damage, dry strands, split ends, hair breakage, static electricity, and humidity are other causes of flyaway hair.
In this blog, you can learn more about what causes these small frizzy hairs to stand up in the air, along with tips and products you can incorporate into your hair care routine to fix them.
A Good Conditioner Can Fix Flyaways
Generally, flyaways are often a result of dry hair, therefore a great hydrating conditioner can help to prevent it. Try limiting the number of times you shampoo (which can strip the hair of moisture), and bump up the hydration instead. Incorporate a hair mask into your shower routine at least once a week to nourish and strengthen your hair.
To get the most out of your mask, apply it to your strands right before stepping into the shower. Wait a few minutes before washing the mask to allow the warm steam to help the product penetrate the hair and lock in much-needed moisture.
Quit Using Bath Towel
You should use a microfiber towel rather than a towel to dry your hair. Cotton bath towels are ideal for use on the body, but they are too dense and textured for use on the hair after a shower. This may work to absorb extra water but will roughen up your hair cuticles, causing tangles, breakage, and frizz in the process. You’ll immediately notice a difference when you switch to a microfiber towel and will no longer have annoying upright hairs along your hairline or part.
Stop Heat Styling To Prevent Flyaways
The usage of hot tools and constant brushing will cause hidden flyaways to show up. Before using the curling iron or blow-dryer, spray a heat-protectant spray on your hair to prevent the hot air from inflicting further damage to your hair. Follow up your styling with a lightweight hair oil right away to help rehydrate parched strands.
Do Not Brush Your Hair While It’s Dry
Brushing dry hair, especially curly hair, can cause frizz and flyaways. Use a comb to brush your hair while it is still wet. It will help eliminate knots and tangles without causing frizz. Make sure you are careful and gentle as you brush your hair. Section by section, begin detangling at the tip and slowly move up to the roots.
Trim Your Hair
Breakage and split ends can cause flyaway hairs in damaged hair. To maintain your style, get a regular haircut, which can also help to prevent your hair from sticking out everywhere.
