Sleek, slicked-back hairis never going out of style.
The clean look adorns Bella Hadid, Zendaya, and almost every Hollywood “it girl.”
However, flyaways are the death of many sleek hairstyles.
But, we can’t give up on sleek hairdos.
She tellsElle, “It portrays sophistication and confidence, as the hair is off the face.
You have to be bold to be able to wear something like this.”
Although, sometimes flyaways can be bolder and steal the spotlight.
However, not every strand that’s sticking up is stubborn.
Often it’s a sign of damage.
Those strands take extra hairspray and gel, yet halfway through the day, they give a standing ovation.
These short pieces can be the result of damage or new hair growth (preferably the latter).
If your flyaways show no sign of splitting or dryness, they’re most likely baby hairs.
There are ways to help this new growth lay flat.
These products will help eliminate flyaways prior to beginning styling.
Speaking of styling, you may want to leave the brush alone.
According to celebrity hairstylist Kylee Heath, improper brushing might be the root of your problem (viaByrdie).
Frizz and flyaways are born as soon as drying hair meets a brush.
The beauty guru recommends switching to a wide tooth comb.
Combing your hair wet or dry won’t cause any loose strands and can help prevent breakage.
Even using the wrong towel or being too harsh when removing scrunchies can rip hair strands.
Be gentle with your hair.
We can often take our precious locks for granted.
TheAmerican Academy of Dermatologyrecommends focusing on your scalp when shampooing to prevent creating flyways.
Knowing when to wash your hair is key.
Oily scalps call for frequent cleansing, while dry and chemically treated hair requires less.
Knowing your hair punch in and needs is the foundation for building a healthy hair regimen.
