The days of sitting in a hair salon for the perfect hairstyle or spending hours despairing in front of the mirror in your own bathroom are long gone. Hairstyle trends and hair tricks have taken over TikTok. Videos about hairstyling, DIY hairstyles, and hair care have millions of views, and some of them become viral. We’ve rounded up three viral hair hacks from TikTok and explain how simple it is to recreate them!
#1 Hair curling hacks
In her video, TikTok creator Abby Baffoe shows a hair hack that not only is simple to copy, but also creates one of the most gorgeous curly hairstyles in a snap without hours of styling. After tying a ponytail sitting high on the top of her head, she divides it into three to five individual strands and uses a curling iron to make generous curls (Very important: Always use a heat protection spray.) Allow to cool for a few moments before carefully untying the ponytail – the effect is stunning. You can now add a shine spray to the hair if desired.
#2 Butterfly Cut Tutorial
With over 367 million views, this TikTok video has become a social media sensation. Despite the fact that this style requires a lot of bravery. But maybe it’s exactly this thrill that’s driving the viral buzz here. Because, as the name implies, Butterfly Cut involves scissors. Users like Emily Elizabeth show how the DIY haircut works in her video.
How to cut the Butterfly Haircut? All you need for the DIY hack are ponytail elastics, a comb and haircutting scissors. This is how it’s done:
- Make a parting from ear to ear across your head.
- Then, using ponytail elastics, separate the hair into two sections.
- Make one ponytail on the front center of your forehead at the hairline, the other at the highest point of the back of your head.
- Then, cut the front section straight to the desired length and repeat with the back section. Emily measures the length of her hair with a little bottle.
- After that, use scissors to correct individual strands, and you’re done!
#3 Rosemary water recipe for hair growth
This hair hack isn’t about styling; it’s about conditioning your hair. TikTok creators swear by the rosemary-water mix. The combination is supposed to prevent hair loss and even encourage hair growth. A fantastic power elixir that is affordable and simple to make.
Here’s how to make your own rosemary water:
- Boil five rosemary sprigs in 250ml water for 5 to 15 minutes. Allow to cool for at least an hour, or simply leave overnight.
- Then pour it into a spray bottle and it’s ready for use.
- You can now use the rosemary water on a regular basis for a few weeks. Simply spritz on damp or dry hair roots and rub with your fingertips or a Tangle Teezer.
