Flyaway hair is the classic bad hair, not because it looks bad, but
because like an unruly pet, it appears to have a mind of its own. This
is a problem for both men and women, and can make naturally curly owners
curse their attribute which others only envy. When it is just an unruly
curl, the correct washing, conditioning, and use of gel will keep the
troublesome pet in place, but often the flyaway is a result of split
ends. Don't shoot for the temporary quick fix -- it is better to get to
the heart of the problem and chop them off. For at least six months, it
may be necessary to visit your stylist on a regular basis (every four to
six weeks) to prevent tiny frays from expanding into nightmare flyaways.
Start immediately to condition the ends, only a daily basis, and the
entire hair once a week. The time is well worth it. If your hair is
coarse, you will need a heavier conditioner, but if your hair is fine,
use a conditioner for delicate hair, and limit most treatments to the
ends. This will help to retain a sense of volume. Be careful when blow drying as you
should point the nozzle down the hair, and if at all possible avoid blow
drying hair that is too easily split. Use only a light mist with hair
spray, and if your hair is especially delicate, spray your brush, and
not directly onto your hair. Then brush the spray lightly and evenly
throughout. When steam and humidity are the immediate culprits to the
problem, try a little dab of moisturizer, rub into your hands, and
lightly moisten the hair.
