Hairbrushes make it so easy to untangle your hair, but it also gives you unwanted frizz, breakage, and flyaways — especially when you use them on dry hair.

Brushing also isn't ideal for wet hair — you may want to skip it altogether and opt to use a wide-tooth comb for detangling. Always work patiently with your hair and avoid tugging. Start from the bottom and work your way up slowly in sections.

Nope, this isn't a joke. You can use lotion and lip balm to control your flyaways. If you don't have your favorite frizz serum on hand, a tiny dab of your body lotion or hand cream can do in a pinch. Similarly, lip balms can be used as a kind of makeshift pomade to keep your hair in place. (Though don't go overboard, or you'll end up with greasy strands).
