Switching up your hairstyle or even the way you treat your hair can be a fun way to experiment with your look without having to commit to something long-term. Yes, a drastic change such as getting a pixie cut after a decade of long locks is a commitment, but it doesn\u2019t have to last forever!<\/p>\n<p>\nAs people are more willing to experiment with their hair, we\u2019ve seen heaps of articles flood the internet of anecdotal success with the latest and greatest hair hacks. But do all these hacks deserve the high praises they\u2019re receiving?<\/p>\n<p>Read on for 5 hair styling hacks that really do not work!  <\/p>\n<div id=\"ez-toc-container\" class=\"ez-toc-v2_0_75 counter-hierarchy ez-toc-counter ez-toc-grey ez-toc-container-direction\">\n<div class=\"ez-toc-title-container\">\n<p class=\"ez-toc-title\" style=\"cursor:inherit\">Table of Contents<\/p>\n<span class=\"ez-toc-title-toggle\"><a href=\"#\" class=\"ez-toc-pull-right ez-toc-btn ez-toc-btn-xs ez-toc-btn-default ez-toc-toggle\" aria-label=\"Toggle Table of Content\"><span class=\"ez-toc-js-icon-con\"><span class=\"\"><span class=\"eztoc-hide\" style=\"display:none;\">Toggle<\/span><span class=\"ez-toc-icon-toggle-span\"><svg style=\"fill: #999;color:#999\" xmlns=\"http:\/\/www.w3.org\/2000\/svg\" class=\"list-377408\" width=\"20px\" height=\"20px\" viewBox=\"0 0 24 24\" fill=\"none\"><path d=\"M6 6H4v2h2V6zm14 0H8v2h12V6zM4 11h2v2H4v-2zm16 0H8v2h12v-2zM4 16h2v2H4v-2zm16 0H8v2h12v-2z\" fill=\"currentColor\"><\/path><\/svg><svg style=\"fill: #999;color:#999\" class=\"arrow-unsorted-368013\" xmlns=\"http:\/\/www.w3.org\/2000\/svg\" width=\"10px\" height=\"10px\" viewBox=\"0 0 24 24\" version=\"1.2\" baseProfile=\"tiny\"><path d=\"M18.2 9.3l-6.2-6.3-6.2 6.3c-.2.2-.3.4-.3.7s.1.5.3.7c.2.2.4.3.7.3h11c.3 0 .5-.1.7-.3.2-.2.3-.5.3-.7s-.1-.5-.3-.7zM5.8 14.7l6.2 6.3 6.2-6.3c.2-.2.3-.5.3-.7s-.1-.5-.3-.7c-.2-.2-.4-.3-.7-.3h-11c-.3 0-.5.1-.7.3-.2.2-.3.5-.3.7s.1.5.3.7z\"\/><\/svg><\/span><\/span><\/span><\/a><\/span><\/div>\n<nav><ul class='ez-toc-list ez-toc-list-level-1 eztoc-toggle-hide-by-default' ><li class='ez-toc-page-1 ez-toc-heading-level-2'><a class=\"ez-toc-link ez-toc-heading-1\" href=\"https:\/\/www.qcmakeupacademy.com\/blog\/2017\/10\/5-hair-styling-hacks-really-dont-work\/#1Faking_your_bangs\" >1.\tFaking your bangs<\/a><\/li><li class='ez-toc-page-1 ez-toc-heading-level-2'><a class=\"ez-toc-link ez-toc-heading-2\" href=\"https:\/\/www.qcmakeupacademy.com\/blog\/2017\/10\/5-hair-styling-hacks-really-dont-work\/#2Egg_hair_mask\" >2.\tEgg hair mask<\/a><\/li><li class='ez-toc-page-1 ez-toc-heading-level-2'><a class=\"ez-toc-link ez-toc-heading-3\" href=\"https:\/\/www.qcmakeupacademy.com\/blog\/2017\/10\/5-hair-styling-hacks-really-dont-work\/#3Bleaching_with_lemon_juice\" >3.\tBleaching with lemon juice<\/a><\/li><li class='ez-toc-page-1 ez-toc-heading-level-2'><a class=\"ez-toc-link ez-toc-heading-4\" href=\"https:\/\/www.qcmakeupacademy.com\/blog\/2017\/10\/5-hair-styling-hacks-really-dont-work\/#4Washing_hair_with_baking_soda\" >4.\tWashing hair with baking soda<\/a><\/li><li class='ez-toc-page-1 ez-toc-heading-level-2'><a class=\"ez-toc-link ez-toc-heading-5\" href=\"https:\/\/www.qcmakeupacademy.com\/blog\/2017\/10\/5-hair-styling-hacks-really-dont-work\/#5Dying_with_Kool_Aid\" >5.\tDying with Kool Aid<\/a><\/li><li class='ez-toc-page-1 ez-toc-heading-level-2'><a class=\"ez-toc-link ez-toc-heading-6\" href=\"https:\/\/www.qcmakeupacademy.com\/blog\/2017\/10\/5-hair-styling-hacks-really-dont-work\/#Hair_styling_hacks_takeaway\" >Hair styling hacks takeaway:<\/a><\/li><\/ul><\/nav><\/div>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"1Faking_your_bangs\"><\/span>1.\tFaking your bangs<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"672\" height=\"413\" src=\"\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/10\/hair-bangs-girl-happy.jpg\" alt=\"hair styling hacks bangs\" class=\"alignnone size-full wp-image-22428\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.qcmakeupacademy.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/10\/hair-bangs-girl-happy.jpg 672w, https:\/\/www.qcmakeupacademy.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/10\/hair-bangs-girl-happy-300x184.jpg 300w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 672px) 100vw, 672px\" \/>\n<\/p>\n<p>Most girls have a love-hate relationship with their bangs. It takes a lot of dedication to maintain them, and if you don\u2019t like how they look after you\u2019ve already snipped them off\u2026well, you\u2019re in for a rough few months until they grow back!<\/p>\nBeauty gurus all over the net have come up with tutorials showing you just how to fake bangs by creating a top bun and brushing forward the ends of your hair over your forehead. The result can work well for some people, but the vast majority of girls can\u2019t really pull this off because of their regular hair type or treatments they\u2019ve had done. <\/p>\n<p>If you have short hair, curly hair, or layered hair, the bangs won\u2019t look realistic. If your hair type is too thin or too thick, it\u2019s hard to keep them in place as the hair will move throughout the day! It might look good for an Instagram photo, but if you are going out to run errands, the hairs will fall away! To remedy this, <a href=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/watch?v=AzR_LcyW-Mw&#038;t=264s\" rel=\"noopener\" target=\"_blank\">YouTuber Stella Cini <\/a>fixed hers by wrapping a headband or donning a beanie to keep the faux bangs in place.<\/p>\n<p><h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"2Egg_hair_mask\"><\/span>2.\tEgg hair mask<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2><\/p>\n<p>This mask is popular because you can separate and use either part of the egg to best suit your hair needs. The yolk of an egg is brimming with proteins, fatty acids, and vitamins that penetrate the hair follicle and can give you beautifully strong and healthy hair. Meanwhile the egg whites have gentle enzymes that eat away at bacteria and remove extra oils on the hair. Take caution with how many times a week you use this mixture, though. The yolk can sometimes be too rich for certain hair types and can lead to greasy hair, or the opposite: dry, brittle, and stiff hair.<\/p><p>\nEgg masks for your hair can be pretty effective so long as you make sure you follow all the guidelines to a T! We\u2019ve heard horror stories of the messy concoction actually cooking on the scalp of inexperienced first-timers who attempted to wash off the mask with hot water! If you can\u2019t stand washing your hair with cold water, it\u2019s best to stay away from this mask altogether.<\/p>\n<p><h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"3Bleaching_with_lemon_juice\"><\/span>3.\tBleaching with lemon juice <span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2><\/p>\n\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"672\" height=\"419\" src=\"\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/10\/lemon-juice-hair-hack.jpg\" alt=\"hair styling hacks lemon juice\" class=\"alignnone size-full wp-image-22427\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.qcmakeupacademy.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/10\/lemon-juice-hair-hack.jpg 672w, https:\/\/www.qcmakeupacademy.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/10\/lemon-juice-hair-hack-300x187.jpg 300w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 672px) 100vw, 672px\" \/>\n<\/p>\n<p>We\u2019ve all been jealous of the natural blondes who get sun-kissed highlights in the summer. It\u2019s true that a solution of lemon juice and water can lift hair color (especially in conjunction with the sun), but you won\u2019t be able to get extreme highlights or platinum locks. You won\u2019t be able to get anything other than a lighter honey-slanted brown if you\u2019re a staunch brunette.\t\n<\/p><p>The heat of the sun activates the lemon juice, and the UV rays from the sun also help with lifting hair-color &#8211; but the results won\u2019t be the same as what you would get at the salon. In fact, if you\u2019ve done other color-treatments in the past, the deposited color will actually fade to a duller hue. If you want bright, fresh color, it\u2019s best to purchase some UV-filter shampoos and conditioners and leave the rest to the professionals!<\/p>\n<p><h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"4Washing_hair_with_baking_soda\"><\/span>4.\tWashing hair with baking soda<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2><\/p>\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/www.nopoomethod.com\/\" rel=\"noopener\" target=\"_blank\">No-poo<\/a> loyalists swear by using just a baking soda paste to clean their hair as a chemical-light shampoo alternative. The reality is, it\u2019s way too abrasive! Even dentists won\u2019t recommend it for your teeth. Baking soda and vinegar is often used as effective household cleaners, and we all know that the human body is more sensitive to chemicals than the porcelain sink or the ceramic tiles on the floor. You\u2019ll find recipes for color-stripping solutions that contain baking soda because it opens up the follicle and aids in removing dye deposits in the strands. If you use baking soda too much, you\u2019ll find your hair super brittle and dry.\n<\/p><p>Many baking soda enthusiasts claim that baking soda rebalances the pH of your hair and scalp. But baking soda, NaHCO3, has a pH of 9 which is far higher than the natural pH of the scalp which sits at a 5.5. How can that possibly work to balance your pH for a healthy head of hair? If you are looking for a gentler alternative, it\u2019s best to switch to baby shampoo or a pH balanced one!<\/p>\n<p><h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"5Dying_with_Kool_Aid\"><\/span>5.\tDying with Kool Aid<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2><\/p>\n<p>\n<img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"672\" height=\"413\" src=\"\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/10\/hair-dye-diy.jpg\" alt=\"hair styling hacks\" class=\"alignnone size-full wp-image-22429\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.qcmakeupacademy.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/10\/hair-dye-diy.jpg 672w, https:\/\/www.qcmakeupacademy.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/10\/hair-dye-diy-300x184.jpg 300w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 672px) 100vw, 672px\" \/>\n<\/p>\n<p>We\u2019ve all heard about this hair dying hack when we were but young tweens who couldn\u2019t afford the spunky colors we wanted so badly, or we were forbidden from going near bleach by our parents. Yes, if your hair base color is relatively light, you will see that your hair color will change after you apply this mixture; however, most times you\u2019ll see a murky color or a reddish tinge if you use colors with any red in them.<\/p>\n<p>Why is that? Kool Aid doesn\u2019t lift your hair &#8211; it only deposits color. You won\u2019t get vibrantly bright colors unless you bleach your hair first! If you have porous or damaged hair follicles, you\u2019ll get uneven color results and it\u2019ll all fade unevenly, too. Besides it being sticky and a potential insect trap, this \u201cdye\u201d can potentially stain your hair permanently along with your towels and pillow cases. For cheap, temporary color, just go buy some hair chalk and call it a day!<\/p>\n<p><h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Hair_styling_hacks_takeaway\"><\/span>Hair styling hacks takeaway:<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2><\/p>\nThe most important lesson?
