Flyaways are annoying; but flat, greasy hair is arguably worse. While oils and heavy serums can smooth rogue hairs, they can also quickly weigh everything down – particularly if your hair is fine. The trick is to use as little product as possible, exactly where you need it.
Spritz a clean toothbrush with hairspray – rather than spraying directly onto your hair – or a smoothing product, like Almost Everything Cream, then gently brush it over flyaways around the hairline and parting. You achieve precision without overloading the rest of your hair.
Rub a tiny amount of Almost Everything Cream between your palms until there's barely anything left, then lightly skim your hands over flyaways. Don't press down: you're smoothing, not slicking.
Apply your styling product to the lengths first, then use your brush – with only the residue that's left on it – to smooth the top of your hair. It's often all you need.
