how to smooth flyaway hairs

With our busy schedules, we don’t have time for unwanted frizz and flyaway hair.  

If you’re striving for your smoothest style yet, we’ve got your back. Discover how to stop flyaway hairs and check out our best products to stop frizzy hair once and for all. 

what causes flyaway hairs? 

Before we share our secrets on taming flyaway hair, let’s get to the bottom of what actually causes them. Like many hair concerns, there can be multiple causes of flyaway frizzy hair, including: 

  • heat damage – Our prime suspect! Using heat styling tools without protecting strands can lead to a number of hair problems, including dryness, breakage, and split ends — all common symptoms that lead to flyaway hair. 
  • chemical damage – If you regularly colour your hair or enjoy chemical treatments, they can take their toll on your hair. These chemicals work to change the structure of your hair, leaving it weakened over time and prone to frizzing. 
  • product build-up Failing to wash your hair often enough can lead to an unwanted build-up of styling product, which not only leaves hair looking unhealthy, but can lead to flyaway hair. Maintaining a regular hair wash schedule will ensure build-up is washed away.  
  • humidity – Humidity is when the extra moisture in the air rearranges the bonds inside each hair fibre, causing major flyaway hair and ruining even the smoothest styles.

Forever looking frazzled? Don’t worry! We’re giving you our top tips on how to get rid of flyaway hair.  

how to smooth flyaways

tip 1. never skip your heat defence

If you’re a super styler and love your heated tools, you must (we stress, must!) prep your hair with heat protection. With temperatures reaching above 200°C, it’s no wonder our straighteners and curling tools can cause real damage.   

The blockade heat defense serum is a lightweight serum that not only protects against those high temperatures, but nourishes hair and helps to banish frizz — perfect for those who have particularly dry hair. Use before blow drying and styling, or as a finishing product to score the smoothest, flyaway-free hair! 

Struggling with post-shower tangles? Why not try the wizard detangling primer, our multi-tasking all-in-one hair prep spray.  

Not only does it protect hair up to 230° C, pre-styling, this primer also works to smooth and detangle to help stop flyaway, frizzy hair 

Another bonus? It can cut down your blow-drying time! 

tip 2 . apply a smoothing hair oil

Another of our must-have products for frizzy hair is the glass action hydrating hair oil. We’ve nicknamed this our ‘universal elixir’ and you’ll soon see why. 

It’s our multi-purpose oil treatment that helps to fortify, elasticise, add shine, and (most importantly) stop frizz. 

This lightweight formula can be applied at both the prepping and finishing stages of your hairstyling routine to help control flyaway hair and smooth frizz. Just a few drops are enough to achieve super smooth hair.  

tip 3. spritz with shine spray

Shine sprays give your styled strands an instant boost of shine and also have frizz-fighting abilities.

Since we love a good shine spray, we decided to make our own! Meet amika’s top gloss. This lightweight, non-greasy finishing spray gives your hair the ultimate glossy finish while fighting frizz and helping to keep flyaways under control.

How to use: Hold 10-12 inches from dry hair and spray from mid-lengths to ends. For finer hair types, mist on hands and run through hair from mid-lengths to ends.

tip 4. fix your look with hairspray

Looking for the best hair spray to set the look and keep those flyaways under control all day?  

If you want a more flexible finish that you can still run your fingers through, opt for the fluxus touchable hair spray. It provides a super natural finish without compromising on control. Frizz and flyaway hairs are left fixed in place, without an uncomfortable, sticky finish.  

If you’re in need of something a little stronger, we recommend the headstrong intense hold hair spray (the name says it all). This freeze-hold hairspray eats flyaway hair for breakfast. Control is its middle name.  

It’s fast drying and enriched with Provitamin B5, which is key for that smooth, conditioned finish. No crispiness in sight! 

You’re now fully equipped to achieve the smoothest, sleekest styles. By switching up your haircare routine, you can tame frizz and flyaway hair for good. Shop the full range of products for frizzy hair online.
