I have thick wavy brown hair, a little past shoulder all one length. It usually parts down the middle and hangs loosely on my shoulders or in a pony-tail. I've noticed that I always seem to have a lot of fly-aways on top around the part. I think this looks bad. Is there any way to prevent fly-aways, besides using gel. Gel seems to dry my hair out and make it greasy. Thanks for the advice.
Everybosy with hair even collar length or longer is going to have a number of individual hairs which are not as long as most of the hair. This is because
1) as hairs fall out and are replaced by new ones, they take time to grow to the length of the longest ones.
2) however careful you are, you will inevitably break a few hairs from time to time, brushing, tieing etc.
Don't regard these flyaways as a bad thing. It is one of the characteristics that make long hair look interesting to others. Even when tied back, flyaways give long hair some movement. And above all, don't keep cutting flyaways off, or they will never grow to the length they need to stop flying away.
