Flyaway hair or baby hair is typically caused by broken hair strands, split ends, and even product buildup. A dry climate can also cause static in your hair and breathe new life into those flyaways, giving you that typical messy hair look.
Although all hair types can have flyways, they are more common in straight hair. In other hair types, such as curly and wavy hair, the strands retain the moisture better, whereas straight and fine hair will lose moisture faster.
