Imagine life without social media. Sure, there are ups and downs when it comes to social media use. On the one hand, social media can be toxic and stressful. However, social media can also make us laugh, make us go “aww”, and also a source of life hacks.
Speaking of life hacks, these can be a lot of things. It can be a new food recipe, fashion tips, or hair care tips. A lot of people think that hair care or having hair treatment is expensive. Not everyone might be willing to go to a Brazilian blowout salon for Brazilian keratin straightening treatment. For some, these kinds of hair treatments are too fancy.
However, there are actually inexpensive ways to care for your hair. There are a lot of them when you search on Google. And yes, on various social media platforms as well. Have you already tried these social media hair hacks? Perhaps it’s time to try these and see for yourself if at least one of these will work on your hair type.
Hair hack #1: Faster hair growth
A popular social media influencer named Farah Dhukai shared a hair growth hack. Apparently, this hair hack helped grow her hair faster. How? According to Dhukai, she massaged her scalp upside down for about 7 to 10 minutes per day. Another way is by brushing your hair the other way around the same duration. Doing so can aid in increasing blood circulation which can promote faster growth of hair.
The social media celebrity said that doing these has helped increased her hair length by an inch per week. The key here is doing the routine consistently. Seems enticing, since this hair hack does not require you to buy any hair product (except for a hairbrush) or going to a keratin treatment salon. You can try this trick if you want to boost hair growth.
Hair hack #2: Less hair frizz
One of our biggest enemies is frizzy hair. Even if you have straight hair, it can get frizzy too at some point. Frizziness can be because of hair dryness, but those with wavy or curly hair are more prone to frizziness. Fortunately, you can also do something with your frizzy hair. Aside from going to a Brazilian blowout salon, of course.
If you have naturally kinky hair, this hair hack is for you. To unravel your natural curls, you should use hair oil and gently separate them. Start doing this at the bottom and work your hair upwards. Tug your hair gently until the curls unravel and then rub your hands on your entire hair to remove any frizz. Ta-dah! A simple and less complicated way to give your curls a new and refreshing life!
Hair hack #3: More hydrated hair
All hair products like shampoos and conditioners usually contain “moisturizers” on their labels. Aside from making your hair clean, such hair products should also improve your hair’s moisture. You can also go to a keratin treatment salon to add life to your dry and dull hair.
One of the most popular hair care ingredients is aloe vera. It is a versatile plant that can moisturize your hair and skin. Hair products with aloe vera can be effective in adding moisture to your hair. Better yet, why not use the real thing? You can make a homemade natural hair moisturizer using aloe vera.
Get some aloe vera, peel and scrape its meat, put them in a bowl, and mix. You can use a blender to mix the scraped aloe vera. Pour some mixture on your hairbrush and apply on your entire hair. Let it sit for an hour before rinsing and drying it.
Hair hack #4: Styling short hair
Styling short hair can be a challenge. No wonder some women opt using human hair extensions to add length to hair. Yet, it is possible to add style to your hair without relying on extensions.
To style short hair, part your hair starting at your nape then make small ponytails. Build those ponytails up to the next one until you get to the middle of your head. Get a scrunchie and tie your hair, then get another hair tie and secure your hair.
Taking care and styling your hair need not be expensive and complicated. You just have to be resourceful when it comes to finding alternative ways. You can also choose to have a keratin treatment by a hairstylist in Rockville. But at the end of the day, social media is not always a bad thing. You can utilize it for learning and making your life better.
