Since March 2020, the COVID-19 pandemic called for social distancing with non-essential businesses to be closed. Now that the economy and our favorite stylists are back open for business, many are still following precautionary measures to keep themselves safe. If you’re not ready to schedule your next trip to the salon, but still want hair that is popping, here are five creative hair hacks from influencers we love.

Check out these healthy hair hacks that they swear by for longer, thicker, and healthier strands.

Add Water Any Way You Can

Hair needs water. The best hair hack is water! According to NaturalHairClub.com, products with water listed as the first ingredient indicates a high water content. This is very important for women with curly/kinky hair because the follicle quickly soaks up moisture and tends to need a lot to maintain styles. Use products whose first ingredient is water. This is an excellent hack for adding moisture to hair since water-based products promote hydration and elasticity. @FrizzyBri showed us how she achieves the perfect perm rod set that lasts a week with Rucker Roots GTC line and a satin bonnet.

Detangle you hair in the shower
