1. Curly Hair Routine
TikTok is filled with curly-hair tutorials and routines that will help you embrace your natural curls. Take @louisarose213’s routine for example. She enhances her natural texture by applying a leave-in conditioner or styler after showering, followed by mousse to help hold hair in place. (She uses Not Your Mother’s Curl Talk mousse in the video). Next, she grabs a Denman brush to increase curl definition and then dries with a microfiber towel to absorb excess water and products. Finally, she diffuses her hair. The result is a full head of beautiful, bouncy curls. If you want to add some extra hold to your curls or exaggerate your curl pattern further, we suggest going over hair with a 1 inch curling iron.

Then, she wets hair on each side before washing with OGX Argan Oil of Morocco shampoo. After washing and brushing her hair, she applies a conditioner and waits 10-15 minutes before rinsing. She then uses a curl defining cream and leaves it in for five minutes before styling.
In part 2 of the routine, she applies a mix of conditioner and defining cream all over wet hair before letting it air dry. She then takes a brush and gel to perfect her edges for the finishing touch.

♬ Therefore I Am - Billie Eilish
Style influencer and TikTok star Brittany Xavier shares the secret to getting flawless curtain bangs in her TikTok hair video. The first step is to blow dry using a DryBar blow dry brush, which combines the hot air of a blow dryer with the structure of a round brush to create a shiny smooth blowout look. Then, she uses a smaller round brush for added volume. Once hair is dry, she sprays with Living Proof heat protectant spray and uses a flat iron to increase shine. The final step? A healthy dose of IGK texture spray.

Want a full week of hair care? TikTok user @daniawiththegoodhair has got you covered with a week-long hair routine for her long, luscious mane. On Wednesday morning, she starts by shampooing and conditioning twice, then using products tailored to how she is styling her hair for the week. In the video, she goes for a blowout style. Thursday to Monday night, she brushes out product from her hair, then uses a lightweight hydrating oil on her ends to keep hair moisturized. Then, she massages a serum into her scalp to help her baby hairs grow and combs out hair using a wooden hair comb. And then she braids hair and ties it with a silk scrunchie before bed. Lastly, on Tuesday night her mom (the hero all hair care routines need) gives her a 15-minute head massage and applies rosewater to her scalp. Wednesday morning, the whole routine starts over again.

In this video, @juliaabcede showcases a healthy, no-heat TikTok hair routine. The two-day routine transforms her naturally straight hair into effortlessly loose waves. It begins with her taking a shower at night, then brushing hair out. Next, an oil or serum is applied into hair to reduce frizz (Julia recommends macadamia oil or Biosilk), and then it’s put in two french braids right before bed. The braids are kept in for the entire night and next day, before being taken out the following morning. The result? Beautiful, effortless-looking waves!
