Do you often find yourself in front of your mirror wondering what the hell you are going to do with your hair? These 15 super-easy and quick tips are going to be of great help to you.
No need to pull out your hair to get a good look! Sometimes all it takes is a few simple (and inexpensive!) Little tips to save a lot of time and wear a hairstyle that is always on top.
1. Tame your frizz without product and effortlessly
Ah frizz! In winter – when they don't electrify them – the hats give us a helping hand by taming those famous “baby hair”. But once spring or summer sets in, we are on our own. Know that baby hair and frizz can be perfectly tamed without any hair product or miracle recipe!
The trick: just put on a headband (preferably silk), hang it slightly over your forehead – to capture frizz at the roots – and sleep with it. The best thing is to perform this technique on wet hair so that it keeps the shape. If within a week your hair starts to rebound, this technique works just as well on dry hair.
Other option: toothbrush and hairspray! You only have to spray a toothbrush with hairspray, before brushing the frizz. The bristles of the toothbrush will smooth them out and the hairspray will fix them. Practical, fast and radical!
2. Fight dandruff
Stress, climate change, hormones, sunburn on the head, irritations or even poor diet: the sources of dandruff are so numerous that we do not know where to look. While anti-dandruff shampoos have proven themselves, there are lesser known and equally effective methods such as … olive oil!
The trick: on dry hair, moisten your scalp in olive oil. If you have good hair mass, we recommend that you divide your hair into small sections so that the oil is evenly applied to your scalp, as this is where dandruff comes from. You can of course also have your lengths and ends benefit from this treatment.
After the olive oil is applied all over, comb through your hair and tie it up. Wait a few hours, or better, leave it on overnight, then wash your hair. You will see, much of your dandruff will already be gone. The secret is simple: olive oil will nourish the skin of your scalp and therefore prevent the appearance of dead skin, in other words, dandruff.

3. Keep your bun low longer
Usually, when you tie your hair up in a low bun, it's because you don't want it to titillate us all day long. Except that by dint of walking, hopping, moving: the bun comes undone and it is usually blind that we find ourselves forced to do it again.
The trick Before doing your bun, tie your hair in two low, parallel ponytails, as close to each other as possible. Tighten the rubber bands securely around these two clips. Now, do your low bun as usual. This technique will not only allow your hairstyle to stay in place longer, but it will also allow you to add volume to your bun.
4. Adopt a sophisticated hairstyle in one minute flat
Are your hair skills limited to the art of tying a ponytail? Know that you can adopt a sophisticated hairstyle in no time. All you need is a headband.
The trick: position it on your head, then wrap your hair in it. If you like security, we recommend that you add to this hairstyle some bobby pins that will make sure that everything will stay in place throughout the day. And There you go !
5. Use your foam without messing around
“Mousse” products are great, especially for adding volume to hair. However, their texture sometimes makes them difficult to use and to penetrate into the hair, especially in the morning.
The trick: decant your sparkling product in a classic bottle or spray. The texture will change and your favorite product will become more liquid and milky. Rest assured, it will not lose any of its properties and will simply be more manageable!
Do you doubt it? Tell yourself it's like whipped cream. Once extracted and placed on a plate, it becomes liquid again, but does not lose any of its tasty taste.

The trick: the secret to making a straight line for sure? It's to go fast! Take your tail comb and draw your line as quickly as possible (without hurting yourself).

7. Space out your shampoos or hide your roots when you're blond.
Here is a tip reserved for blondes! In order to hide your roots or space out your shampoos, there are some very simple things you can do with products you probably already have in your bathroom, such as talcum powder or mattifying powder. , for example.
The trick : You just need to apply these powders directly to your roots using a large brush, if you have one, your fingers will do if you don't. The talc, or the face powder, will absorb the excess sebum present in the root, allowing you to space your shampoos.
If your hair is ash blonde to platinum, know that talc will do the same job! If they are darker, on the other hand, mattifying or bronzing powder is preferable, because it contains a little colored pigment, which avoids the "white roots" effect.
You hesitate to apply these products on your hair? Tell yourself, while they're good enough for you to put on your face, they're good for your hair too!
8. Camouflage your roots when you're brunette or redhead
Talc and mattifying powder will be too clear to be able to camouflage your roots, so you have to find another solution …
The trick: eye shadows are perfect! Pick one that's the same shade as your hair and apply it to where you line your part. A few strokes of the hairbrush to remove the excess and voila!
Other option: mascara, even easier to use thanks to its precise brush!
9. Get rid of oily roots quickly and in no time at all
Dry shampoo is great for saying bye Bye with fatty roots. However, when you want to do a quick touch up, there is even better. Much better, even. His code name? Mattifying paper!
The trick: Bring this paper that you may usually use to keep your face from shining during the day. You might not know it, but the latter can also save your hair. To use it, you just need to tap it on your roots, pressing it for a few seconds so that it absorbs the "fat" and … that's it!

10. Straighten your hair without heat thanks to the Kardoune technique
The Kardoune is a 1m50 ribbon to wrap around damp hair. Coming directly from the Maghreb, this technique will change your life if you are a fan of straight hair … but nature has decided otherwise.
The trick: on damp hair, tie the end of your fabric around your hair (all should be tied together), then wrap it around your hair to the ends. Tie a knot to secure everything and leave until your hair is dry. It is best to do this in the evening and leave the Kardoune in place until the morning. Smooth hair without heat and without the expense!
Other option: if you want to test this technique without having to pay a single penny, we have the solution: get an old pair of tights, cut off the “panties” part and keep only the legs.
11. Make your own bun donut
Damaged, eaten by your pet, lost: although practical, bun donuts have a limited lifespan. The solution is simple: make your own and save!
The trick: get an old sock (you have finally found a use for your socks with holes or those that have lost their partner in the washing machine). Cut off the "toe" part and then wrap the sock on itself until it forms a donut. And here is the work!

12. Curling your hair without a curling iron
The hair messy, the beach waves and other wavy lengths make you dream, but you don't have a curling iron at home? No problem, you can perfectly do without.
The trick: make tight braids and press on them with your straightening iron. Let your hair cool and, when you untie it, enjoy the pretty waves created.
Other option: if you want to get curls that start higher on your head, make four braids (two on the top and two on the bottom), and do the same. If you only want wavy lengths, two low braids will suffice.
If you don't have a hair straightener: this method also works great with a hair dryer! Besides, if you want to get more wavy than curly, make a twisted bun instead of the braids and run your hair dryer over it. Ta-daa!
13. Test the bangs … temporary
To cut or not to cut your hair to have bangs? This is the question that many people ask themselves on a daily basis. So, to try the bangs without regretting it, it is still best to test them temporarily.
The trick: no need to cut a hairpiece to its dimensions, you just have to cheat a little by making a half-bun, from which you will leave strands of hair protruding that will sweep your forehead. Tie the rest of your lengths in a bun over and voila! To you the bangs without having to cut, for a limited time, you will love!
