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.
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.
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).
