Why does part of my hair keep sticking up?

Hair sticking straight up can be very annoying when you’ve put so much work into styling your mane to look smooth and luxurious. They are usually stubborn to lay down, and your effort might result in breakage if you don’t do it properly.

Hence if you’re facing the same problem, you are in the right place.

Why does my hair stick up when cutting short ?

1. They’re often caused by breakage and split ends, but also they’re new hairs growing in.

2. Sometimes it is just because of your bed-head when you get up, the strands are bent unproperly, and then they’re pretty hard to tame. 

3. It also could be because of the way you take care of your hair.

• Chemicals (bleaching, dyeing hair, etc.)
• Over-styling (with hot roller, curling iron or hot comb, flat iron, etc.)
• The wrong use of hair care products

All of these will make your hair increasingly frizzy, split ends, hair loss and then appear short hairs that stick up.

How to prevent hair sticking up?

To minimize flyaways, you should do the methods as daily habits for the best result. You can choose one for yourself, or try all of them if necessary. Here are some ways to tackle the issue.

1. Moisturize your hair daily with a high-quality conditioner to prevent breakage and smooth existing flyaways. Conditioner also makes your hair more resistant to the static electricity that often causes flyaways to stick up.
2. Apply a shine serum to areas of your hair that tend to stick up after your hair is dry. These serums are very oily, so most people need only a nickel-sized drop to cover all of their hair. For spot treatment of flyaways, apply a tiny dab to the affected area.
3. Neutralize static electricity by spraying a paddle hairbrush with a light hairspray, then brushing through your hair. Avoid excessive brushing, though, especially during the winter months.
