1. The Bobby Pin Trick

Spray bobby pins with hairspray before putting them in the hair for extra hold. 

Spraying bobby pins with hair spray can help them grip the hair more effectively and stay in place better. The hair spray adds an extra layer of grip to the bobby pins, making it less likely that they will slip out of the hair.

This can be particularly helpful for people with fine or slippery hair that is difficult to style.


2. The Dryer Sheet Trick

Put a dryer sheet over your hair brush bristles before brushing to get rid of static in your hair. The sheet simply needs to be rubbed over the bristles of your brush before use, and the static-reducing properties will transfer to your hair as you brush.

Putting a dryer sheet over your hairbrush works as an anti-static agent by neutralizing the electrical charges that cause static in your hair.

The dryer sheet contains a mixture of positively charged and negatively charged fibers, which neutralize the static electricity in your hair and reduce flyaways.

The sheet’s fabric softener also helps to smooth the hair and make it more manageable, resulting in less frizz and static.


3. The Tangle Teezer Trick

If you must brush wet hair, use a Tangle Teezer detangling hair brush to prevent frizz, breakage, and damage. Hair is more delicate when it’s wet and traditional hair brushes can rip and pull.

The teeth of a Tangle Teezer are flexible and have a unique shape that helps to gently detangle hair without pulling or causing damage. The brush’s gentle detangling action helps to prevent breakage, split ends, and hair loss.


4. The Clogged Drain Trick

Brush hair before showering so loose hairs don’t clog up the drain. If you’re still having trouble, pick up a TubShroom that’s guaranteed to catch every single hair every time you take a shower. 


5. The Vitamin and Supplement Trick

Biotin, fish oil, vitamin D, and evening primrose oil will help grow longer, stronger hair and stop hair loss.

Biotin is a B-vitamin that plays a role in hair growth by helping the body convert food into energy and by supporting the health of the skin, nails, and hair. Biotin deficiency can lead to hair loss and brittle nails, so taking biotin supplements or consuming biotin-rich foods can help improve hair health.

Fish oil contains omega-3 fatty acids, which are essential fatty acids that our bodies cannot produce on their own and must be obtained through our diet. Omega-3 fatty acids are believed to promote hair growth by improving the health of the scalp and hair follicles. They are also thought to increase the production of hair growth hormones, as well as improve circulation, which can provide the hair follicles with the necessary nutrients and oxygen for growth.

Vitamin D is essential for overall health, including hair health. It is thought to increase hair growth by promoting the growth of new hair follicles and improving the health of existing hair follicles. Vitamin D also helps regulate the production of keratin, a protein that is a key component of hair, skin, and nails.

Evening primrose oil is rich in gamma-linolenic acid (GLA), an essential fatty acid that is believed to promote hair growth. GLA is thought to improve the health of the scalp and hair follicles, as well as increase blood flow to the scalp, which can provide the hair follicles with the necessary nutrients and oxygen for growth.


6. The Sea Salt Trick

A salt spray adds beachy texture to hair. Here’s a simple recipe for making a salt spray:

Ingredients:

  • 1 cup warm water
  • 1 teaspoon sea salt
  • 1 teaspoon aloe vera gel (optional)
  • 1 teaspoon coconut oil or other hair oil (optional)
  • 10 drops of essential oil (optional)

Instructions:

  1. Combine all the ingredients in a spray bottle.
  2. Shake well to mix the ingredients.
  3. Spray the salt spray onto damp or dry hair, focusing on the roots and mid-lengths.
  4. Scrunch your hair with your hands to enhance the beachy texture.
  5. Air dry or style as desired.


7. The Coconut Oil Trick

Coconut oil is often used as a hair treatment because it can help improve hair health in several ways:

  1. Moisturizing: Coconut oil is a natural moisturizer that can help hydrate the hair and scalp, reducing dryness, itching, and dandruff.
  2. Strengthening: Coconut oil is rich in medium-chain fatty acids, which can penetrate the hair shaft and strengthen the hair from within. This can help reduce breakage and split ends.
  3. Protection: Coconut oil can help protect hair from damage caused by styling tools, such as blow dryers, flat irons, and curling wands. It can also help protect hair from the sun’s harmful UV rays.
  4. Nourishing: Coconut oil contains vitamins and minerals, such as vitamins E and K, and iron, which can help nourish and improve the overall health of the hair.

To use coconut oil for hair, simply massage a small amount into the hair and scalp, focusing on the ends. Leave it in for 30 minutes to an hour, then rinse and shampoo as usual. For best results, use coconut oil once or twice a week as part of a regular hair care routine.


8. The Chamomile Tea and Lemon Juice Trick

Lemon juice and chamomile tea are commonly used as natural hair lightening agents. Combine 1 cup of chamomile tea and 1/2 cup of lemon juice in a spray bottle. Spray it evenly over your hair, making sure to cover all the strands. Leave the mixture on your hair for 1-2 hours, preferably while sitting in the sun. Rinse with cool water and shampoo and condition as usual.


9. The Flat Iron Trick

Crimp your hair by flat ironing a braid. Make several small braids around your head and slowly run your flat iron along the length of them. It will create crimps without you needing to buy a special tool.


10. The Silk Pillowcase Trick

Sleeping on a silk pillowcase can provide several benefits for your hair:

  1. Reduced friction: Silk is a smooth, soft fabric that reduces friction between your hair and the pillow, helping to prevent tangles, knots, and breakage.
  2. Less frizz: Silk pillowcases are less likely to absorb moisture from your hair, helping to keep it hydrated and reduce frizz.
  3. Better hair health: Silk pillowcases are gentle on the hair and scalp, which can help maintain the natural oils that keep hair healthy and shiny.
  4. Reduced creases: Unlike cotton pillowcases, silk pillowcases are less likely to cause creases and wrinkles in your hair, which can result in fewer split ends and less breakage.
  5. No bedhead: Silk pillowcases are known to reduce the formation of bedhead, which can be a result of rough, cotton fabrics.

So sleep on a silk pillowcase.


11. The Boar Bristle Brush Trick

Replace your current hair brush with a boar bristle hair brush.

A boar bristle brush is better for your hair for several reasons:

  1. Gentle on hair: Boar bristle brushes are made from natural, gentle fibers that are less likely to cause damage to your hair compared to synthetic brushes.
  2. Distributes natural oils: Boar bristle brushes help to distribute natural oils from the scalp throughout the length of the hair, which can help to hydrate and nourish the hair, leaving it looking healthy and shiny.
  3. Prevents frizz: Boar bristle brushes are effective in smoothing hair cuticles, which can help to reduce frizz and improve the overall texture of your hair.
  4. Improves scalp health: Brushing with a boar bristle brush can help to stimulate blood flow to the scalp, promoting healthy hair growth.
  5. Can be used for all hair types: Boar bristle brushes are suitable for all hair types, including fine, thick, curly, and straight hair, making them a versatile choice for a wide range of hair types and textures.

12. The Apple Cider Vinegar Trick

Use an apple cider vinegar rinse to cleanse your hair of product residue and make it shine. ACV is effective in removing buildup from hair and scalp, including residues from styling products, hard water minerals, and even chlorine. This can help to restore the hair’s natural shine and softness.

After rinsing out shampoo, pour ACV through hair and let sit for a couple minutes. Then rinse it out.

Don’t worry — you won’t smell like vinegar.


13. The Strategic Shampoo Placement Trick

The ends of the hair are typically the oldest and most fragile part, and over-shampooing can strip them of natural oils, causing dryness and breakage. By only shampooing the roots, you can help to preserve the oils in the ends and reduce damage.

To avoid split ends, only shampoo the roots of your hair. Let the rest of your hair hang down straight and focus your efforts right at the scalp. The suds rinsing out will cleanse the length of your hair.

By focusing on the roots when shampooing, you can also reduce the amount of tangles in the length of your hair, making it easier to comb and style.


14. The Tea Tree Oil Trick

Tea Tree Oil has antibacterial and anti-fungal properties that prevent dandruff.

Dandruff can be caused by a fungal infection of the scalp, and tea tree oil’s antifungal properties make it effective in treating this type of infection.

Tea tree oil has anti-inflammatory properties, which can help to soothe an itchy scalp and reduce dandruff symptoms.

UDandruff can be caused by clogged hair follicles, and tea tree oil’s antimicrobial properties can help to unclog these follicles and reduce the symptoms of dandruff.

Tea tree oil can also help to regulate oil production in the scalp, which can prevent the scalp from becoming too oily and reduce the risk of dandruff.

Add a few drops of the oil to your shampoo and wash as usual.


15. The Elastic PonyTail Holder Trick

Switch to no crease elastic ponytail holders. Traditional hair ties can cause damage to the hair by pulling on it and creating tangles, especially at the point where the hair tie meets the hair. No crease hair ties have a soft, gentle grip that helps to prevent breakage and protect the hair from damage.

They won’t leave a crease in your hair at ponytail level or cause breakage.

Plus they look cute on your wrist and come in tons of fun patterns.
