Beautiful healthy hair is an important component of any modern girl’s image. But hair care requires a lot of time and effort.
To help you with this daily challenge, Bright Side offers a collection of genuinely useful tips on how to attain perfect looks with minimal effort!

17. Use straws to curl your hair.

The maker of this video tells how you can wind your hair on straws without the need to use curling irons.

16. Make your hair lighter with lemon juice.

Here a blogger tells how to use lemon juice and the Sun to create sun-bleached strands. Also, this tip should help blondes get rid of any yellow tinge in their hair.

15. Mix conditioner with water.

This life hack is useful for those who like to wear various types of braids or buns. Mix your regular conditioner with hot water, as shown here, apply to wet hair, then proceed with styling. Your hairdo will remain intact longer, with your hair looking shiny and well groomed.

14. Add baking soda to your shampoo.

Add 1 tablespoon of baking soda to your regular shampoo bottle, and continue washing your hair as usual. In this case, the baking soda acts like a conditioner. Try this simple trick to make your hair become sleek and shiny.

13. Spray bobby pins with hair spray.

While doing your styling, ensure that bobby pins stay in place by spraying them with hair spray or dry shampoo 2 minutes before use, as shown here.

12. Make your ponytail longer.

The author of this blog demonstrates a simple but effective trick for making your ponytail look visibly longer.

11. Make your ponytail look fuller.

Make your hair look fuller by fastening the ponytail in the middle with a small hair clip, as shown here.

10. Brush your hair before taking a shower.

To minimize hair loss during washing, carefully comb your hair before going into the shower, as advised by the author of this blog.

9. Create your own hair chalk.

Multicolored strands have been en vogue for a few seasons already. However, there’s no need to buy hair paint or color chalks — you can make everything yourself if you follow these instructions.

8. Use eye shadow instead of chalk.

You don’t even need chalks or paint to make impressive colored strands. Take some brightly colored shadows, hold a strand of hair as shown here, and apply a shadow along the length of the strand from top to bottom. For pink strands, use blushes.

7. Remove static electricity from your hair.

Before brushing, attach a dryer sheet to the brush, as shown here, and swipe it along the length of your hair. This will help to keep your hair from electrifying, making it stay smooth for longer.

6. Smooth out unruly hair.

When making a ponytail, a braid, or a bun, prevent individual small hairs from sticking out by putting some conditioner (or ordinary body lotion) on a toothbrush and swiping it through your hair in the direction of its growth, as shown in this video. Such a technique will help your locks remain smooth and shiny all day long!

5. Achieve light waves with tin foil and a flat iron.

To create light waves, apply a heat-protectant spray with fixing effect to your hair, separate your hair into strands, curl the strands into loops, and then wrap each loop with tin foil. Next, scrunch the foil for 1-2 minutes with the flat iron. Finally, remove the foil.

4. Create that “beach hair” effect.

To achieve tousled and natural-looking locks, put your hair into an ordinary “fishtail” braid. Do it prior to going to bed. Before you start braiding, rinse your hair, leaving it slightly damp. Next morning, undo the braid, and fix your hair with hair spray.

3. Use coconut oil.

Coconut oil moisturizes the scalp and helps combat dandruff. Apply some oil to your hair roots, and leave overnight. Next morning, wash it off using shampoo for normal hair.

2. DIY bangs.

PRESS PLAY AND TAG A FRIEND WHO'D TRY THIS! Extensions from @geehair! Clipping in extensions is such an easy and fun way to change up your whole look! My hair is SO LONG as it is so I like to get creative with how I use my extensions – like I did with the hidden rainbow tutorial I posted a few weeks ago. This ones an old trick so I wanted to try out DIY bangs 😁❤ here's what I did: 1. Tie up all my hair in a high ponytail. 2. Clip in the extensions near the base of the ponytail. How far off you can keep the edges depends on how fat you can make your bun to cover them – which depends on the length of your hair. 3. Roll up the ponytail into a messy bun and secure with bobby pins! The purpose of this is to cover the clips of the extensions so take your time with this. 4. Trim the extensions till you reach your desired length. 5. Straighten and add a slight curl to make them look more natural. 6. You will need to keep repeating the cut and straighten procedure till you get what you like (especially if you aren't not a hair professional like I am not) 7. Fasten some of the sides of the bangs that are difficult to control (the piece was too wide for me here) around the bun. 8. Top off with an accessory if you want! Straightener from @pyt_hair ❤ #pythair DISCLAIMER: I didn't realize how close the scissors look to my face until I was editing😅 PLEASE be careful if you try this and have some kind of adult supervision if you are younger. And always cut AWAY from your face, not towards. If you need a friend to help you out, go ahead! My brother was asleep and I have no friends lol (that live near me and can be accessible when I was filming this at 2 am). If something happened to you guys who'd watch my tutorials lol so BE CAREFUL 🙏🙏🙏💕 hahaha @hudabeauty @alyakattan lashes in Audrey! #hudabeauty #alyakattan #shophudabeauty #hudabeautyrosegoldpalette #geehair #sahursart

If you’ve always wanted bangs but were hesitant to cut your hair short, use clip-in extensions along with the above video instruction.

1.Don’t wrap your hair in a towel.

Be careful of how you use your towel — wrapping hair up in a towel can cause serious damage. Instead, squeeze out any excess water and just let your hair dry in the air.
