How to Tame Flyaways on Kids' Hair Fast — Without Touching the Rest

How to Tame Flyaways on Kids' Hair Fast — Without Touching the Rest

Flyaways are the finishing battle of every kids' hairstyle. The braid or ponytail looks great — and then there are a dozen little hairs along the hairline doing their own thing.

The fix doesn't mean redoing everything. It just means having the right tool and about 30 seconds.

Why Kids Get So Many Flyaways

Fine hair is the most flyaway-prone because individual strands are light enough to lift on static electricity or slight air movement. Kids with straight or fine hair see the most — but curly hair has them too, especially around the hairline where shorter, newer hairs grow.

Summer compounds everything: static from air conditioning, friction from towels, and humidity-driven frizz all generate more flyaways than the cooler months.

Why Fingers Alone Don't Work

Trying to smooth flyaways with dry fingers doesn't hold. Applying cream from your hands risks disturbing the rest of the style, getting product in the wrong places, or using more than you need. The solution is precision: apply exactly where you need it, without touching anything else.

The Fastest Flyaway Fix

T is for Tame's Taming Gel Wand is a targeted applicator that lets you swipe gel directly onto flyaways — along the hairline, on the part, on baby hairs around the face — without disturbing the rest of the style. Clean, fast, and works just as well for mid-day touchups as at home.

How to use it:

  1. Gently swipe the wand along the hairline or over the flyaway section
  2. Use a fingertip to smooth immediately after
  3. Let air-dry — no more touching

Gel vs. Cream for Flyaways

Gel (Taming Gel Wand): better for precise, longer-lasting hold — handles stubborn, wiry flyaways and holds them flat through sweating and activity.

Cream (Taming Cream Wand): better for softer control — adds smoothness without stiffness, works well on baby hairs and finer flyaways.

Both apply the same way. Use whichever finish you prefer — or keep both in your bag for different situations.
