While there are a ton of haters out there, we all know that frizz is the true enemy in our lives. And sadly, you are more prone to frizz if you have naturally dry, textured, and curly hair. But don’t fret, there is a hair hack available for this too! So while we love to see curly hair styled in the coolest ways, like this twist out, it is essential to do it in the right manner so that the frizz stays on the DL. 

Here’s how to do it:

• While unraveling your twists, use a good hair oil to separate them gently
• Start with the hair near the nape of your neck and work upwords
• Lightly tug after the twists are fully unraveled 
• Once done, gently rub your hands all over your hair to tame any frizz
• Pick your roots with a wide toothed comb (this is optional)

And voila! This simple hair hack will help you get those shiny, Instagram-worthy twists in minutes.

Farah Dhukai has been one of the most popular influencers in the world of DIY beauty and hair care. So when we came across this video of her showing us how she grows her hair so long and strong FAST, we had to get in on the action. 

Here’s how to do it: 

• Massage your scalp upside down for 7-10 minutes a day
• Alternative you can also give yourself a head massage by brushing your hair upside down.

This method is said to improve blood circulation and get blood to the hair follicles that generates faster hair growth. She states that she grew 1 inch of hair per week when she did this hair hack consistently. Interesting, isn't it? We especially love that you do not need to purchase any products or special tools to make your hair grow long faster. Something we’re definitely going to try.
