Tame those pesky flyaways with these tips
Myriad of reasons for flyaways and frizz. One common cause for flyaways is humidity. Dry and damaged hair manifest flyaways, the kind of towel you use, the hairbrush used etc. A deep conditioning once a week can restore hydration and keep the flyaways at bay.
Flyaways are sometimes put under control with a lot of hairspray. Smoothening hair down with hairspray is not reliable since it’s not possible to carry a hairspray around with us. What’s to be done then?
Here’s are a few tips how to deal with hair flyaways.
Flyaways are a result of dry hair. Go for a hydrating conditioner and limit the number of times you shampoo your hair. A conditioning mask once a week can help hydrate the hair better and tame those pesky flyaways.
A cotton body towel is too thick and textured to be used on hair. It might dry the hair but also makes the cuticle of hair strands rough and give rise to frizz and flyaways. Instead of using a body towel, switch to a thin microfibre that absorbs water but doesn’t rough up the hair.
Styling products are packed with heat. If styling is something you do on a regular basis, make sure you never skip on heat protection spray. And while using a blow dryer for styling, always point it downwards so the flyaways lay flat. If possible, use less of styling products as the heat tend to dry out the hair.
A good trim frequently will get rid of split ends that might be the cause of flyaways. A haircut gets rid of unhealthy strands and promotes healthier hair growth.
Switch to a wooden wide-tooth comb for your hair. A wide-tooth comb helps with detangling hair. Also never brush your hair when its soaking wet or completely dry. Use a wide-tooth comb on hair that’s slightly dry and prevent flyaways.
If everything else fails and those pesky flyaways can be somewhat tamed by wearing a headband.
In case you have forgotten about internet’s favourite to remove static from hair, there’s a reason dryer sheets have gotten the reputation.
