Flyaways, flyaway!

Use a hair serum
Humidity also affects your hair's frizziness which can cause it to curl up and flyaway. So if you're living in a humid environment, try using hair serums that can tame your frizz and smooth those flyaways. It will also make your hair strands softer and give them a healthy-looking gloss.

Set those flyaways in place
When styling your hair, a trusty hairspray can help ensure that it will remain in place throughout the day. Opt to use a lightweight product so it won't weigh your hair down (or give you that wet look). Don't apply too much and spray on areas with flyaways only. Direct those rogue hairs by smoothing them down with your own hands.

Dry hair with a microfiber towel
Yep, the type of towel you use to dry your hair after showers can also affect its look. Your usual fluffy bath towel may feel nice against your skin — but it can be too thick and textured for your hair. It can create tangles, breakage, and frizz.

Switch to a microfiber towel instead. They're softer and won't cause any damage to your hair cuticle. They're also designed to help your hair dry more quickly.

Point the dryer down
Don't just point the blowdryer to your hair when drying. Here's a trick: pointing it downward will ensure that your hair dries flat and more straight. Using one of the concentrator nozzles will also let you control the airflow better.

If you're using it to style your hair, use a round brush and do the "roll and pull" method that your hairstylist does when you visit the salon.

Always use a heat protector
Never, ever, use a heat-styling tool without applying a heat protector to your hair first. It's way better if you skip heat when styling your hair to keep it healthy. But on days when you just have to blowdry or use a curling iron, use a heat-protectant spray. It protects your hair from damage — which means fewer rogue strands.
