Keep reading to learn what Rauchut,\u00a0 Rivera, and Prose Director of Education Faith Armstrong have to say about 5 famous TikTok hair hacks\u2014and whether or not they\u2019re worth trying.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2>TikTok hair hack #1: Using dry shampoo before bed<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<div style=\"height:4px\" aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"wp-block-spacer\"><\/div>\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-full is-resized\">\n<img decoding=\"async\" width=\"542\" height=\"966\" src=\"https:\/\/storage.googleapis.com\/prose-blog-media\/1\/2022\/01\/Screen-Shot-2022-01-04-at-9.31.45-AM.png\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-20218\" srcset=\"https:\/\/cdn-blog.prose.com\/1\/2022\/01\/Screen-Shot-2022-01-04-at-9.31.45-AM.png 542w, https:\/\/cdn-blog.prose.com\/1\/2022\/01\/Screen-Shot-2022-01-04-at-9.31.45-AM-168x300.png 168w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 542px) 100vw, 542px\" \/>\n<\/figure>\n\n\n<div style=\"height:4px\" aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"wp-block-spacer\"><\/div>\n\n\n\n<p>Dry shampoo has saved us on days we want to freshen up our hairstyle without hitting the shower. But, according to @lacey.kube, applying dry shampoo before bed reaps the most beauty rewards: \u201cPrevention is better than correction,\u201d she writes in her caption.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3>What Rauchut says:<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cUsing dry shampoo before bed is something I often recommend to my clients who are hot sleepers. Dry shampoo is meant to prevent the build-up of oil, therefore moisture and sweat during the night can make clean hair look and feel greasy. Before bed, spray the crown, the nape of the neck, and any trouble spots with dry shampoo. You\u2019ll wake up feeling fresh and your blowout will still have some bounce.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2>TikTok hair hack #2: Creating volume with only a comb and no product<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-embed is-type-video is-provider-tiktok wp-block-embed-tiktok\"><div class=\"wp-block-embed__wrapper\">\n<blockquote class=\"tiktok-embed\" cite=\"https:\/\/www.tiktok.com\/@prosebeauty\/video\/6850263413042482438\" data-video-id=\"6850263413042482438\" data-embed-from=\"oembed\" style=\"max-width:605px; min-width:325px;\"> <section> <a target=\"_blank\" title=\"@prosebeauty\" href=\"https:\/\/www.tiktok.com\/@prosebeauty?refer=embed\">@prosebeauty<\/a> <p>How to create volume using a tail comb and NO product!? <a title=\"fyp\" target=\"_blank\" href=\"https:\/\/www.tiktok.com\/tag\/fyp?refer=embed\">#fyp<\/a> <a title=\"hairtutorials\" target=\"_blank\" href=\"https:\/\/www.tiktok.com\/tag\/hairtutorials?refer=embed\">#hairtutorials<\/a> <a title=\"prosehair\" target=\"_blank\" href=\"https:\/\/www.tiktok.com\/tag\/prosehair?refer=embed\">#prosehair<\/a> <a title=\"volumeup\" target=\"_blank\" href=\"https:\/\/www.tiktok.com\/tag\/volumeup?refer=embed\">#volumeup<\/a> <a title=\"protip\" target=\"_blank\" href=\"https:\/\/www.tiktok.com\/tag\/protip?refer=embed\">#protip<\/a><\/p> <a target=\"_blank\" title=\"\u266c Divine - Alex Aster\" href=\"https:\/\/www.tiktok.com\/music\/Divine-6787575712065783810?refer=embed\">\u266c Divine &#8211; Alex Aster<\/a> <\/section> <\/blockquote> <script async src=\"https:\/\/www.tiktok.com\/embed.js\"><\/script>\n<\/div><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>Is it really possible to achieve volume without any hair product? Well, using a tail comb just might make it possible. By sectioning off your hair, pushing your hair up, and then heating it with a blowdryer, your roots will be given a lift. We love that this eliminates a need for product, which can sometimes lead to <a href=\"https:\/\/prose.com\/blog\/hair-scalp-care.php\">scalp buildup<\/a> if not properly removed.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3>What Armstrong says: <\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>&#8220;This hack is a really clever and can be done without the need for product! Although it may take a few tries to nestle the comb in place at the roots, it\u2019s definitely a hack worth trying to build lift in and around the crown area. Just be sure to use a concentrator nozzle on your dryer to direct heat at a medium temperature and a heat resistant tail comb to avoid any melting tools.&#8221;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2>TikTok hair hack #3: Applying shampoo to the base of your hair, not the ends<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-embed is-type-video is-provider-tiktok wp-block-embed-tiktok\"><div class=\"wp-block-embed__wrapper\">\n<blockquote class=\"tiktok-embed\" cite=\"https:\/\/www.tiktok.com\/@estherclairehair\/video\/6927923786683616518\" data-video-id=\"6927923786683616518\" data-embed-from=\"oembed\" style=\"max-width:605px; min-width:325px;\"> <section> <a target=\"_blank\" title=\"@estherclairehair\" href=\"https:\/\/www.tiktok.com\/@estherclairehair?refer=embed\">@estherclairehair<\/a> <p>How to wash your hair properly! <a title=\"hairtutorial\" target=\"_blank\" href=\"https:\/\/www.tiktok.com\/tag\/hairtutorial?refer=embed\">#hairtutorial<\/a> <a title=\"howto\" target=\"_blank\" href=\"https:\/\/www.tiktok.com\/tag\/howto?refer=embed\">#howto<\/a> <a title=\"fyp\" target=\"_blank\" href=\"https:\/\/www.tiktok.com\/tag\/fyp?refer=embed\">#fyp<\/a> <a title=\"foryou\" target=\"_blank\" href=\"https:\/\/www.tiktok.com\/tag\/foryou?refer=embed\">#foryou<\/a> <a title=\"foryoupage\" target=\"_blank\" href=\"https:\/\/www.tiktok.com\/tag\/foryoupage?refer=embed\">#foryoupage<\/a> <a title=\"hawaii\" target=\"_blank\" href=\"https:\/\/www.tiktok.com\/tag\/hawaii?refer=embed\">#hawaii<\/a> <a title=\"hairvideos\" target=\"_blank\" href=\"https:\/\/www.tiktok.com\/tag\/hairvideos?refer=embed\">#hairvideos<\/a><\/p> <a target=\"_blank\" title=\"\u266c Aesthetic Girl - Yusei\" href=\"https:\/\/www.tiktok.com\/music\/Aesthetic-Girl-6792647431847675906?refer=embed\">\u266c Aesthetic Girl &#8211; Yusei<\/a> <\/section> <\/blockquote> <script async src=\"https:\/\/www.tiktok.com\/embed.js\"><\/script>\n<\/div><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>Esther Claire, a licensed cosmetologist based in Hawaii, recommends using \u201cno more than a quarter-size of shampoo &amp; emulsifying unto your hands well before applying it to your hair.\u201d According to the content creator, you should focus on the base, not the ends. \u201cShampoo is meant to cleanse and the base of your hair is where it gets oily or sweaty,\u201d reads the on-screen text. \u201cShampooing your ends will dry it out even more.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3>What Rivera says:<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cThis hack includes some good points about washing at the base of the hair, however, it\u2019s really important to scrub the scalp as well because a healthy scalp equates to healthy hair. In addition, the amount of shampoo needed typically varies based on the type and the length of hair, so the amount used will be more specific to the individual. Due to <a href=\"https:\/\/prose.com\/blog\/hair-scalp-care.php\">buildup<\/a> from environmental factors and products, it\u2019s also important to shampoo all of the hair. Finally, many shampoos contain moisturizing ingredients which actually add moisture to dry ends and this is something that should be considered. Application of the conditioner, again, is based on the hair and I recommend working from roots to ends.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2>TikTok hair hack #4: Sleeping in braids to avoid breakage<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-embed is-type-video is-provider-tiktok wp-block-embed-tiktok\"><div class=\"wp-block-embed__wrapper\">\n<blockquote class=\"tiktok-embed\" cite=\"https:\/\/www.tiktok.com\/@chancity\/video\/6927464457194982661\" data-video-id=\"6927464457194982661\" data-embed-from=\"oembed\" style=\"max-width:605px; min-width:325px;\"> <section> <a target=\"_blank\" title=\"@chancity\" href=\"https:\/\/www.tiktok.com\/@chancity?refer=embed\">@chancity<\/a> <p>Reply to @jacytrimble3 I SWEAR by doing this!

To keep her hair healthy and more defined, she ditches a towel and reaches for a t-shirt to dry her wet hair, inspiring her followers to do the same. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3>What Rivera says:<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cThis is a really clever way to tie up the hair after a shower and it can help to initially scrunch curls. A t-shirt can also be effective with pulling additional water out of the hair if it\u2019s allowed to remain on the head for 30 minutes. For setting curls, however, I recommend a professional product that is designed to help hold the curls in place for a long period of time.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2>Wrap up<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Overall, viral TikTok hair trends are definitely hit or miss, which is to be expected. Thanks to Rauchut and Rivera, we were able to cut through the noise and bring you the hair hacks that actually work.
