Flyaways

I get asked everyday, “ why do I have these little hairs on the top of my head that stand up”

Is it breakage? Is it new hairs? The answer is it could be a little bit of both.

I have only seen a handful of people that don’t have some of this going on. Everyone has a little bit. Its totally natural and normal for your hair to have this. You just don’t really see it in the back  you see it on the top because it’s a flat area on the top of your head and that is what you see In the mirror.

Causes:

Your hair can break when you are brushing your hair. This is a possibility for everyone wether you have chemically treated hair or not.

Everyone loses hair everyday, even up to 100 strands a day. Those lost hairs do grow back in, which makes it possible to see those little hairs on the top as they are growing.

Breakage from overprocessing is a possibility as well. Fine hair is more fragile and can break more easily when highlighted or colored or even blow drying too often.

Remedy:

We have a really good wax pomade at our salon called fixation by eufora. This is a great little product to add some wight to those little hairs and also give it a little shine. You just apply this to your hands and rub together like a lotion and then wipe it on the top of your hair to smooth down those shorties. If you don’t have the promenade, try a little hairspray that has firm hold or a paste to tame those down.  

Keep your hair moisturized to prevent the broken hairs. Make sure and use a conditioner in the shower that you rinse out. Also use a conditioning leave in. Wether it’s a conditioning serum or a reparative leave in, it will continue to keep your hair from being brittle throughout the day.
