TikTok is packed with oh-so helpful beauty hacks you didn\u2019t know you needed. The latest trend taking off on the app is called hair slugging, which is a Korean technique that involves topping off your hair care routine with a protective layer to help seal in hydration.<\/p>\n

Can slugging your hair really help give it a major moisture boost? Read on to learn more about the up-and-coming trend and what you need to know about this hydration hack. Plus, see which oil you should be using for your hair slugging routine.<\/strong><\/p>\n

What Is Slugging?<\/h2>\n

The origins of slugging started in skincare before crossing over into hair care. Essentially, it\u2019s a technique in which you slather your skin with a moisture-locking occlusive (typically petroleum jelly) as the final step in your nightly skincare routine, letting it do its magic while you sleep. The skin-saving secret is thought to help alleviate dry skin and irritation from over-exfoliation, eczema or other skin issues.\u00a0<\/p>\n

For those with sensitive skin who want to avoid breakouts or are simply seeking a cleaner barrier protectant, a nourishing, natural facial oil \u2014 as opposed to a petroleum jelly \u2014 may be a better option, according to Melinda Lee Holm, author, tarot expert and founder of her eponymous skincare line.\u00a0<\/p>\n

Naturally, like its skincare counterpart, hair slugging is akin to \u2014 you guessed it \u2014 sealing strands with a protective barrier that locks in hydration. No wonder it\u2019s garnered tons of attention on TikTok!<\/p>\n

Hair slugging is a multi-tasking, self-care lover\u2019s dream come true.

Get your beauty rest and let the products fully absorb in order to retain added moisture while enhancing shine. In the morrning, you\u2019ll wake up to silky-soft, hydrated, radiant hair. Unlike some trends, slugging is accessible for any beauty budget and hair type. Sounds simple enough!\u00a0<\/p>\n

Before you break out the hair oils<\/strong> and socks, read on.
