Love a good time saver? Here are our top 16 brilliantly easy hair hacks that you will be thankful for.

Hair is a major part of our style and confidence - but it can be a real fuss figuring out what to do with it every morning! If you are like us and you are tired of spending hours on it every morning, we’ve got you.

Today, we have prepared some brilliantly easy hair hacks that will revolutionize your hair styling routine by saving your time and enhancing your natural beauty, all while leaving you feeling effortlessly glamorous. 

Whether you're seeking creative ways to add volume, master the art of braiding, or revive second-day hair, we've got you covered. So, let’s dive right into it:

1. Sleep on a silk or satin pillowcase

Do you want to wake up with flawless hair every morning? Sleep on a silk or a satin pillowcase. These delicate materials are more gentle to the hair and cause less friction than cotton, reducing frizz and protecting your hair while sleeping.

This will reduce frizz and tangling, and minimize hair breakage. Yay!

2. Use a thermal heat protectant before heat styling

Thermal hair styling can be damaging if you are not taking the right measures to protect your hair, so here’s our next tip on the list of easy hair hacks: always use a thermal heat protectant before ironing or curling your hair.

This will create a protective barrier between your hair and your heat styling tool, which will minimize damage and keep your hair sleek and shiny.

 

3. Get quick curls with aluminum foil and a flat iron

If you are looking for easy hair hacks, here’s one for the girls that love their curls.

To get quick curls and only after you’re out of the shower and have blasted your hair with your favorite ionic hair dryer, roll up a few coils of your hair in sections and wrap these with aluminum foil at the ends. 

These curls should only go from end to midsection. You can still go about and finish a few chores, but once you’re done just clamp your NuMe Megastar Flat Iron over the foil and hold for a few seconds and release. 

Once you’ve applied heat to all of your curls and foil, you can take them out and watch the simple waves flow.

4. Use dry shampoo before bed for faster preparation

Need easy hair hacks before going to bed? They are coming!

Occasionally, you may find yourself running out of time and going to bed without showering, even though you're aware it would have been better to do so. 

In these situations, if you anticipate being too tired to shower in the morning, consider applying a dry shampoo before bedtime. This will absorb excess sebum and oil, and you will look fresh and clean when you wake up. 

5. Reduce the visibility of your scalp with an eyeshadow

Sometimes it can be frustrating to style your hair when you have a few areas at the border of your scalp, at the temples and at the back of your head that are a little thinner than others. 

When you can see through to your scalp, you often style to cover it up, but now you don’t have to when you use this trick. 

Take a shade of eyeshadow that is as close to your hair color as possible then take an eyeshadow brush to your thin areas. 

Covering these sections with a light brushing of shadow can help reduce the visibility of your scalp and give you a wider variety of hairstyles to work with.

6. Use a bobby pin to to hold your style in place

If you are looking for easy hair hacks to hold your hair in place all day long, we’ve got you! You’ll need the NuMe Dirty to Flirty Dry Shampoo Aerosol, a paper towel, and a set of bobby pins; we recommend the NuMe Sparkle Hair Pin Set.

Set your paper towel down and place your bobby pins on top of it, then spray your bobby pins with the dry shampoo. 

Lift the towel with the bobby pins inside and shake them around a bit to remove excess product. Add them to your hair to hold your style in place without worrying about them falling out. 

Bonus: remember that bobby pins are meant to be worn ridge-side down.

7. Hide your grays with a mascara

We’re all about embracing the all-natural look but sometimes you just don’t want to show off your grays and it’s okay to want to conceal them. 

However you feel most confident is the way to go. But if you want to hide your grays and reduce their appearance at the root, pick up your mascara and lightly touch up the roots for a quick fix that will wash out as soon as you shower.

 

8. Use a thermal hair styling tool with tourmaline plates

We can’t talk about easy hair hacks without mentioning heat styling tools - and more specifically, ones with tourmaline plates. 

Having a flat iron or a curling wand with tourmaline plates, like the award-winning NuMe Megastar Flat Iron or the NuMe Classic Curling Wand is a guarantee for quick and easy hairstyles without the damage. 

Tourmaline plates emit negative ions that seal in moisture and keep your hair smooth, sleek and shiny all day long.

9. Use a teasing comb to create volume at the roots

Next on our list of easy hair hacks is to use a teasing comb if you want to create more volume at the roots, and enjoy an extra volumized hair.

Simply take a small section of hair at the crown or the area where you want to create volume, hold the section of hair firmly, and insert the teasing comb at the roots, about halfway down the length of the hair. 

Next, using short and gentle strokes, push the teasing comb down towards the scalp. This motion creates friction and lifts the hair at the roots.

10. Eliminate frizz instantly with a finishing serum

If you are wondering how to get rid of frizz in seconds, it is easier than you thought - simply use a finishing serum such as NuMe Sleeky in a Bottle to add instant hydration and shine to your hair - all without weighing the hair down.

Made using sustainably sourced ingredients such as Macadamia oil, this amazing serum helps to maintain moisture and promotes scalp health. And now, let’s continue our list of easy hair hacks for a beautiful hair:

11. Use dry shampoo for bouncier curls

No one will notice the difference when you use a little dry shampoo with this curling hack. Blowouts are all about the most volume and bounce, so for this tip simply add a dry shampoo to your roots and shake it out. 

Then you’ll need to take your curling wand and begin curling from the ends to the midsection of your hair and let your curls bounce freely.  

12. Cut out on drying time with a high-quality dryer

Are you always on the look for easy hair hacks that will save you time? Investing in a high-quality hair dryer such as the NuMe Signature Hair Dryer is a great way to get ready faster and in no time.

Made with a proprietary combination of heating elements, materials and internal components, this revolutionary dryer delivers fast results and a consistent distribution of heat.

13. Dry your hair partially before blow-drying to speed up the process

Partially drying your hair before the actual blow-drying is among the best and easiest hair hacks that can help speed up the drying process and save you time. 

After washing your hair, squeeze out excess water using a soft towel or a cotton T-shirt, and allow your hair to blow dry for a few minutes before reaching out for the hair dryer. 

This will remove some moisture from your hair, making the blow-drying process quicker.

14. Keep a mini hairbrush or comb in your bag

As you are going through your day, it can be a challenging task to always keep your hair on point - especially if you are always in a hurry. 

Luckily, this doesn’t have to be the case - simply keep a mini hairbrush or a comb in your bag for quick touch-ups throughout the day. 

15. Apply a leave-in conditioner for easy manageability and detangling

Are you constantly fighting with knots and tangled hair? Apply a leave-in conditioner to manage and detangle your hair easily. Sleeky in a Bottle is the perfect conditioner for keeping your hair sleek, shiny, and always on point - minus the annoying tangling! 

16. Change your look with different partings

If you are looking for easy hair hacks, here is another one. Experimenting with different partings is a simple yet effective way to change your look without much effort. 

Start with dry, styled hair, and begin by parting your hair in its usual position - this is typically where you naturally part your hair on a daily basis.

Using a comb or your fingers, create a new parting by shifting your hair to the opposite side or trying a diagonal part. This simple change can instantly transform your appearance and give your hair a fresh look.

Conclusion: easy hair hacks

Using these simple and easy hair hacks will help you keep it going when you're on a roll this year. Don’t stress out but look poised, flawless and photo-ready at every occasion or party.
