10 MUST-KNOW HAIR HACKS
1. Hairbrush – always have it on you.
If you’re not a lucky whose hair looks perfect regardless of humidity or other conditions, a hairbrush is your ally. Comb out hair before and after every wash. Also, buy a pocket brush and always carry it in your bag to quickly smooth out frizzy flyaways. Apart from making hair look better, you prevent breakage this way.
2. Hand lotion – use it on frizzy hair.
We all have a hand lotion in our bags, especially in winter. Do you know you can use it on hair too? If you’ve got a problem with static, frizzy hair e.g. after taking a hat off, take a little glycerin hand lotion and apply it to hair. Spread it between the palms and smooth through the hair using fingers.
3. Dry shampoo – freshen your hair and boost volume.
Since dry shampoo has conquered the cosmetic market, we can’t do without it. It comes to rescue when hair is no longer fresh but we don’t feel like washing it or have no time to do it. You can also apply some dry shampoo to the roots for a volume boost. This trick turns your limp-looking strands into voluminous hairdo. Get a pocket dry shampoo and always carry it with you. Just don’t overuse this hack!
4. Braid – learn to braid your hair for a bad hair day.
Days when hair refuses to cooperate with you and is unmanageable are really tiring if you prefer to wear it down. Even if you don’t like having your hair tied, it’s worthwhile to learn to make a beautiful braid (ideally Dutch braid) for the bad hair day emergency. Why braid? You can make it no matter the hair type (thin or thick, curly or straight) and it always looks stunning.
5. Hairspray – use it when other means fail.
Using a hairspray is yet another hack to be tested whenever your hair is out of control. Always keep a good hairspray close to save your hairstyle. Never use too much product. Choose sprays which give a natural finish and don’t leave hair crunchy.
6. Eco-curls – try overnight no-heat styling.
Morning washing and styling is a bit problematic. We rarely have enough time to do that or simply prefer to wash hair before sleep. Try choosing the best no-heat curling method for your hair, get the hang of it and make hair beautiful while you’re asleep. Remember that heatless curls or waves can be achieved with soft rollers, buns, braids or some unusual tricks like wet wipe, straw or bandana curls. Worth a shot!
7. Mask/conditioner – use the praying hands method.
It turns out that even the way of applying a mask matters a lot. Hairstylists recommend the so-called praying hands method. You simply rub the product between the palms, take a section of hair and form praying hands around it – now smooth the mask from roots to ends. This trick enhances absorption of products and makes hair way smoother.
8. Liquid paraffin – test it on your hair.
This grandma’s remedy is a good idea when you want smooth glossy hair. Leaving liquid paraffin in hair for several minutes and shampooing the hair may work wonders and totally change the appearance.
9. A sharp cut – entrust your hair to a professional.
A well-known trick whose popularity is dropping… a hair salon appointment. We avoid scissors like the plague. It’s a pity because this very tool gives our hair the best shape. Haircut by a pro is a simple trick for getting perfect hair that doesn’t need much styling to look stunning. It’s quite tricky, though. You need to find a real pro who will rise to the challenge…
10. Hair oil – use it for shine and smoothness.
The last trick is about applying an (extra)ordinary cold-pressed, unrefined oil (sweet almond or argan oil makes a perfect pick) as a finishing touch. Scoop a drop or two, rub between the palms and scrunch into the hair – no frizz, hair’s smoother, looks healthy and luminous, doesn’t tangle.
