Finding Solutions to Flyaway Hair

What is Flyaway Hair?

Flyaway hair can be a nightmare because the hair can be in place and styled correctly but there are those hair strands that just don't seem to be acting correctly. Flyaway hair is caused when hair strands picks up positive charges and begin to repel from the rest of hair. This leads to hair strands that seem to fly away on their own, hence the name.

Long hair that does not receive enough natural oil from the roots will also tend to become more electrically charged.
