How to manage those annoying flyaway hairs

If you’ve caught your reflection in the elevator mirror and noticed a halo of unsightly flyaways, a hair mask can be great for taming dry strands, but chances are you just don’t have the time. Instead, there are a few effortless tricks you can use to straighten unruly hair, even when you’re on your way to work. A dryer sheet or those fancy smoothing hair towels can help remove static and flatten your strands in an emergency.

Simply sweep them over your tresses for instant smoothness. Another product you probably have on hand (pun intended) is hand lotion. Squeeze a small dollop into your hands and rub them together as usual before running your hands lightly through your hair. The moisture can help reduce dryness, but don’t overdo it, as too much can make your hair look greasy. Likewise, a lip balm can help combat flyaway skin due to dryness.

Choose a multipurpose balm instead of a tube of the regular old chapstick. Using a small amount on your fingers, spot treat any areas that require a little force. The unique sticky texture can give you longer-lasting relief when sporting elegant styles like high bangs. However, to fight flyaways once and for all, you need to take preventive measures.
