25 5-Minute Hairstyle Hacks From TikTok To Try This Fall

If you're in need of a more efficient morning routine, looking for the answer to a pesky hair issue you're experiencing, or just feeling bored of your usual locks and ready to spice things up for fall, give one of these 5-minute hairstyle hacks from TikTok a try!

1. Greasy Hair Hack

Use a scalp massager when washing your hair to get a better scrub when shampooing. When you use conditioner, midshaft to ends is the best option if you have naturally oily hair. Your roots don’t need conditioner. 

2. Quick Curling Hack

Curling your hair can take time, but not with this trick. Put your hair in a ponytail, and take small pieces of the hair hanging from the pony and curl. Release your ponytail and touch up anything that needs it. 

3. Easy Messy Bun

This is more easily learned by watching, but start by putting your hair in a regular bun, and with the hair left out, twist it around the bun, and secure it with the same hairband, then twist the entire thing. You might need some bobby pins to secure it. 

4. Low Twisted Pony

Separate your hair into two sections down the middle, and put each side in an elastic band. Part each individual section above the elastic, and pull the hair through the hole. This will create a twisted look. Pull both sections together into a low pony, and then wrap some hair around the elastic to make it look like the hair is holding the pony together. 

5. Half Up with a Claw Clip

Instead of just pulling the hair back into the claw clip, try twisting the hair that you clip first and then clip the twisted piece for a more intricate style. 

6. Fake Hair Wash Hack

If you're not quite ready for the effort you need to wash, dry, and style your hair, just section off a portion on top, and wash and dry it. No one will know if you didn’t wash the rest yet. 

7. Braid Waves Hack 

A simple hack for your hair on days when you travel is to braid it the night before into two french braids, hairspray it, and wear it for several hours. Then when you let it down, you'll have beautiful beach waves. Try dampening the hair before braiding it for even better results. 

8. Volumize Your Ponytail

To add a little oomph to your pony, try sectioning the hair off and make a ponytail with the top section, then section the bottom half in two and wrap it together on top of the high pony. Use a hair tie to bring it all together!

9. Curly Hair Hack

This one is for the curly girls! Take a small chunk of hair, apply a curl-defining product, and twist the hair on your finger. Diffuse that section and release for a beautifully defined curl!

10. Twisted Half Updo

Use a couple of little clear elastic bands to create this easy twisted half-up, half-down style. You can also keep repeating the steps and do a pony style with it. 

11. Volumize Your Day 3 Hair

Use a texturizing powder, dry shampoo, or texture spray to spruce up your dirty hair, and shake it out after applying.

12. Wedding Guest Hairstyle

Create this elegant low pony with a few twists using elastic bands! Effortless and quick. 

13. Add a Little Twist with Your Curls

After you’ve curled your hair, section the top into two with elastics and do a little twist. Leave some pieces down in the front.

14. Effortless Blowout with 2-Inch Iron

Use a 2-inch curling iron to curl big sections of hair. Pin each section up, and let it sit for around 20 minutes, then release!

15. Hair Static Hack

Remove the static from your hair using aluminum foil! 

16. Removing Gum from Your Hair

If you get gum stuck in your hair, it can feel hopeless getting it out without cutting it. But before panicking, try using mousse to remove it. 

17. Quick Glam Hairstyle

Section your hair down the middle, then section it down to the ear. Use an elastic to tie those two front sections together in the back. Add some cute pins on each side and pull down the rest of your hair. 

18. Claw Clip Hairstyles for Long Hair

Use these different tricks to claw clip your long hair.

19. Low Effortless Updo

Put the hair in a low bun, leaving some hair out. Then use that hair to wrap above the bun and elastic together, then twist it around the bun. Bobby pin the hair that is left out. 

20. Half-Up Top Knot

Take a small section from the top of your hair and use an elastic to create a ponytail. Then take the hair and loop it for a bun, twisting the ends around the ponytail and securing with bobby pins. 

21. Heatless Curls with Socks

Use this scrunchie/sock tutorial to create heatless curls overnight!

22. Bathrobe Heatless Curls

For a tighter heatless curl, use a bathrobe belt, wrap the hair around it, and leave it overnight. 

23. Blowdryer Brush Tutorial for Volume

Use a round brush blowdryer to create a beautiful blowout! Don't forget to add styling products for texture and volume.  

24. Three Ways To Style Curtain Bangs

Use these tips to style your curtain bags. You can use a flat iron, curling iron, or round brush. 

25. Bubble Ponytail 

Use elastics or regular hair ties for this hairstyle. Just do a ponytail, then go down a couple inches and add another, pull out the section to give the bubble effect, and repeat until the end of the ponytail.
