Hair algae is just a fact of life in most aquariums. I fought it for years before finding the right critters to graze it. Now I have almost none. The other factors to look at are whether you might be overfeeding, if your skimmer is operating correctly, how often you are doing water changes, and the source of your water. These can all have a potential impact on phosphate levels.
Good luck,
Gary
