Keep that do sleek.
And thats why its important to know how to smooth flyaways.
These runaway hairs can pop up for a number of reasons.
According to hairstylistSunnie Brook, the two main causes are damage and dryness.
If yourstrands are thinning, youre also more likely to experience these erratic hairs, adds Brooks.
Static electricityis another sneaky culprit, which is why you tend to getextra flyaways in the cold weather seasons.
Static can sometimes be caused byhumidity, a change in the weather, or friction, Brook explains.
Thats not to say youre destined to walk around with tiny strands sticking out of your otherwise sleek hairdo.

Keep Your Hair Hydrated
According to Brook, your first line of defense for flyaways is moisture.
Keep your hair moisturized and conditioned withleave-in conditionersandhair masks, she tells Bustle.Hydrating shampoos and conditionerscan also help.
Shampoo is really meant to clean your scalp, says Townsend.
Avoid heat styling as much as possible, Brook says.
If youre looking to enhance your natural waves or curls, Brook recommendsplopping your hairto enhance your texture.
For that, all you need is a cloth or T-shirt.
Grab a toothbrush-sized brush with natural or polyester bristles, he tells Bustle.
Plastic wont work because the alcohol inhairspray(which youll be using) will melt it, he explains.
Spray hairspray directly onto it, then brush the flyaways down.
The beauty of this technique?
It smooths flyaways without weighing your hair down or flattening it, says Townsend.
And voila: Everythings in place.
