Backlit portraits outdoors always invites the problem of blown out flyaway hair. In my experience, there's not much you can do that a senior girl will be willing to do (e.g. hairspray or a brush). You can always select individual hairs that are particularly hot and clone them out. Large areas of backlit hair, as in your fourth image, are pretty much a lost cause. What you don't want to do is try to get rid of all of them; that never looks natural. The good news is that (at least I'm told) cloning out stray hairs in outdoor portraits like these is becoming less and less desirable. Again, I might look for those that are particularly distracting, and easily cloned, and get rid of them.
One other strategy is to avoid them altogether by careful selection of background elements. A bright area immediately behind the head will minimize the distracting hair, while a dark patch will "highlight" it. You can see the differences in your own images above.
