Just part of the cycle it will simmer down but if you want a quick fix for hair algae get a lawnmower blenny....

+1, this will pass in time with good husbandry. Keep up the regular water changes and you'll be fine in a few weeks. Get a skimmer (if you don't already have one).

It happens to all of use when you first start, it will pass just do your water changes and keep your skimmer working as already said.
