If shinier, smoother hair is your ultimate goal, hair slugging is the routine you need. This moisture-trapping hair solution hydrates and detangles your hair. The result? Hair that’s never looked better!

What Is Hair Slugging?
A similar concept to skin slugging, hair slugging is the trend inspired by TikTok dedicated to drenching your hair in hydrating hair masks and oils overnight. The aim of hair slugging is to flaunt smoother, shinier and more hydrated hair.
Start by applying hydrating hair products to your hair before bed and wrap your hair in a protective cloth to lock in the all-important moisture. This will keep the hydrating hair treatments close to the strands.
What Hair Type Benefits from Hair Slugging?
Slugging hair is a great way to fulfil your desire for luscious locks. This intense routine is best for those wanting to banish breakages and dryness, but the technique can be used by anyone wanting some extra shine.
For thinner hair, use this routine no more than once a week, and be sparing with your product. Use twice a week on thicker hair or hair more prone to dryness.
For all hair types, make sure to only use a small amount of product as a little goes a long way. Too much product can cause your roots to go limp and your hair to feel flat, and we will want that volume!
