Quarantine has given me a much-needed break from having to style my hair every day. Months later, I’m here to finally say “¡Enough with the greñas! I’m ready to get back into my normal hair routine — at least a few days a week.” There’s just something about having a fresh blow out that makes me feel va-va-voom. It’s like my personalized super-shero cape. So, if you’re like me and ready to style your hair, but feel like you might’ve forgotten what to do with your mane because it’s been so long, not to worry, I’m here to hook you up with five hair hacks that will give your cabello new life. Oh, and when I say hook up, I mean HOOK UP because these five tips include tools and products that are part of Ulta Beauty’s Gorgeous Hair Event, which means they’re heavily discounted. So, take advantage and pick up the tool or product from your favorite hair hack down below or treat yourself and grab them all!

1. Bio Ionic 10X Pro Straightening & Styling Iron

Ulta Beauty

After not caring for my hair for weeks, my hair is thirsting for hydration and ions. Pro tip I just learned: it’s possible to quench hair’s thirst by styling at the same time. Yes, conditioning hair never looked so good. With the Bio Ionic 10X Pro Straightening & Styling Iron, I moisturize my dehydrated locks and style them any way I desire. If I want to flex my curls, I run the Bio Ionic 10X Pro Straightening & Styling Iron through my hair at an angle. The round plates enhance my natural rizos and give them a vibrant shine. When I want to wear my hair on the straighter side, I run the Bio Ionic 10X Pro Straightening & Styling Iron straight down to reveal a glossy pin-straight look. For the days I prefer a beachy, effortless look, I just flick the wrist a few times to reveal an intentional greñuda-yet-chic look. Whichever way I style my hair using the Bio Ionic 10X Pro Straightening & Styling Iron, I know that I will be supplying my hair with healthy ions. So head over to Ulta Beauty during the Gorgeous Hair Event and get your very own Bio Ionic 10X Pro Straightening & Styling Iron at 50% off on October 4!

3. Elchim 3900 Healthy Ionic Rose Gold Hair Dryer

Ulta Beauty

There are certain things that make women feel brand new. For some, it’s getting their eyebrows done, others prefer a bold lip color. I feel my best when I have a fresh blow out — and that doesn’t happen too often these days. To be completely honest, I can count on one hand the number of times I’ve blow-dried my hair during the last six months of quarantine. Blow drying my hair feels like a chore for the most part — until I tried the Elchim 3900 Healthy Ionic Rose Gold Hair Dryer. This blow dryer isn’t just a pretty face, it’s also a mean machine. This dryer gets me professionally dolled up for all my video calls without having to leave my place, and it does it in half the time than a regular blow dryer. If you want to check this out in person, head over to the Salon at Ulta Beauty (there’s one in every store!) to keep discovering your best hair whether it be a blow-out for a nice pick me up or a cut and color. It’s easy to book online at ulta.com/beautyservices. And if you make it out now, you’ll be able to snag the Elchim 3900 Healthy Ionic Rose Gold Hair Dryer for 50% off on October 9!

Trust me when I say this is your peluquera’s best-kept secret. Just a little spritz of this potion and it tames my flyaways and accentuates my natural texture. And we all love that au naturale look.

I saved my favorite hair hack for last because it’s more than a hair hack, it’s a 10 Miracle Hair Mask. This product has saved my hair and revived it from looking lifeless. Just work a quarter-sized amount of the mask through wet, freshly shampooed hair focusing on the ends first. For the best results, leave on for 2 to 3 minutes then rinse with warm water followed by a cool water rinse. After the very first use, I felt like this miraculous mask gave new life to my hair. It instantly softens my hair and restored its shine. During Ulta Beauty’s Gorgeous Hair Event you can grab your very own it’s a 10 Miracle Hair Mask at 50% off on October 10.
