Tame frizzy hair and flyaways that can make you look unkempt by sweeping your hair into a deep side parting, before fastening your fringe down with an unobtrusive bobby pin. Tuck the rest of your hair behind your ears but use a volumising spray to prevent your hair from looking too flat, especially if you have fine hair.
