GFO will help if phosphates are contributing to the algae outbreak. It won't help with high levels of nitrates, bad lighting, bad lighting schedule, overe feeding etc.
There are several posts here about algae control. Here is one that specifically talks about hair algae. In the end, pull out what you can by hand and address your water quality/lighting potential issues.
