I Tested a TikTok Hack Using Hyaluronic Acid on My Dry Hair

I have fine hair that can be both curly and straight; it really depends on the section. Some parts are ringlets while others are completely straight, and the rest tends to frizz at the first opportunity.

Because my hair is fine, many products don’t seem to work well for me. When I try to manage the frizz with serums or elixirs, I have to be cautious, or else my strands quickly become overloaded, heavy, and greasy-looking.

Additionally, my hair is quite fragile. Since my teenage years, the ends have turned to straw if I expose them to too much heat or don’t protect them from the sun. Excessive blow-drying or curling leads to damage, so I frequently trim and condition my hair. However, I can’t use anything too heavy; I need the right balance.

I envy those who can just wash and go, but that’s not me. If I don’t add a little something to smooth out my hair while it’s drying, I end up with a traffic cone-shaped, Brillo pad hairstyle. Fellow frizz sufferers understand my struggle—our hair is high maintenance, and it’s frustrating.

So when my daughter shared a TikTok hack about applying hyaluronic acid to hair overnight for damage repair, I was eager to try it. After all, hyaluronic acid works wonders for my skin; perhaps it could do the same for my hair.

Initially, I worried it might weigh my hair down or make it look greasy. However, I recalled that hyaluronic acid doesn’t make my face feel oily and absorbs well.

To test it, I grabbed a clump of hair a few inches from the ends. Typically, my hair would stick out like straw, but I hoped that after using the acid for a few nights, my ends would relax instead of looking stiff.

I already had hyaluronic acid for my face on hand, so I decided to use that. Before bed, I applied it to my face and then worked the leftover product through the lower half of my hair. By the time I went to sleep, it had absorbed completely without any mess on my pillowcase.

Here’s what I noticed:

My hair felt significantly thicker at the ends. Previously, it had looked thin and damaged, but now it appeared fuller and healthier.
After just a few nights, my hair felt incredibly soft without any greasy residue. I expected I might need to wash my hair more often, but that wasn’t the case.
The goal is to apply enough hyaluronic acid to coat the bottom half of your hair for noticeable results, so adjust the amount based on your hair type. If your hair can handle it, you can apply it higher, but I recommend keeping it away from your scalp unless you plan to wash your hair soon.

Previously, my bathroom floor would collect tiny broken hairs whenever I blow-dried my hair. After two weeks of this treatment, I noticed those hairs were almost gone. At first, I thought it might just be a coincidence, but my white floors and sink don’t lie.

My hair feels fantastic now. The ends no longer feel parched, even after styling with waves or straightening.

While some hyaluronic acid serums can be pricey, I’ve tried many expensive products in the past to manage my frizz and maintain healthy-looking hair, and this is by far the most effective. For those with fine or thin hair, you require only a small amount. As hyaluronic acid becomes more mainstream, finding affordable serums is easier, like this one from The Inkey List or this one from The Ordinary.

Of course, those with thicker hair may need more, but I believe it’s worth a try. Plus, you might find yourself simplifying your hair care routine by ditching other products.

I still enjoy doing a hair mask once a week, but now my hair looks healthy long after the treatment, rather than just on the day I apply it. I color my hair every four weeks to cover my grays, and this treatment hasn’t affected the color at all.

Here’s a picture of my hair after using hyaluronic acid each night for about three weeks. It passed the “ends test” and fell beautifully instead of sticking out like dry straw.

If you use hyaluronic acid on your face, I encourage you to try it on your hair tonight. It only takes a moment, and you may notice results right away like I did. The most significant changes appeared after a full week, so stick with it!

If there’s a product that can serve both my face and hair effectively, I’m all in—after trying this, I’m sure you will be too.
