Nutrient control. Lots of water changes and trying to manually remove as much every water change... You could also try turbo snails too they're "supposed" to eat hair algae...

Also if you have the ability to set up a turf algae scrubber in your sump that's a good way to help. I used that to help with I had my reef ready tank set up years ago to help with hair algae.
