From the Runway to Your Bathroom: 5 Celebrity Haircare Hacks

Let’s be honest—who hasn’t scrolled through Instagram or flipped through a magazine, gazing enviously at the glossy, healthy locks of Hollywood’s biggest stars? Whether it’s the effortless waves of a supermodel on vacation or the red-carpet shine sported by pop icons, enviable hair seems like an exclusive club. But here’s the secret: many celebrities and fashion insiders swear by at-home, do-it-yourself haircare routines that are both accessible and effective. You don’t need a personal glam squad or a luxury salon appointment to give your hair some star treatment. In fact, with the right steps and ingredients, you can transform your hair from dull to dazzling—all from the comfort of your own bathroom. Ready to see what’s trending among A-listers and beauty gurus? Here are five of the most popular DIY haircare routines making waves in the Western entertainment and fashion scene, plus the must-have finishing touch that stars never skip.

1. The “Pre-Shampoo” Oil Treatment 

Before shampooing, many celebrities like to indulge in an oil treatment to protect their hair from the drying effects of cleansing. This ritual, often called “pre-poo,” involves massaging a nourishing oil blend into dry hair and scalp, letting it sit for 15-30 minutes. Supermodels like Gigi Hadid have spoken about using argan oil or olive oil before washing to lock in moisture and prevent breakage. The oil acts as a protective barrier, keeping the hair shaft smooth and hydrated even after shampooing. How to try it: Warm a few drops of Silkonite Hair Oil in your palms, massage it gently into your scalp and hair, and wrap your hair in a towel. After 20 minutes, proceed with your usual wash routine.

2. Aloe Juice Scalp Soother

A healthy scalp is the foundation for beautiful hair, and stars like Zendaya and Miley Cyrus are known for their scalp care rituals. Aloe vera juice is a favorite for its soothing and anti-inflammatory properties. It helps to calm irritation, balance oil production, and even promote hair growth. How to try it: Mix a tablespoon of pure aloe juice with a few drops of your favorite hair oil. Massage into your scalp and let it sit for 10-15 minutes before rinsing. You’ll notice less itchiness and a fresher scalp, perfect for those who use styling products frequently.

3. The “Golden” Hair Mask

Leave it to the beauty insiders to add a touch of luxury to their haircare. Hair masks infused with gold nanoparticles—yes, real gold—have become a red-carpet staple. Celebrities like Jennifer Lopez and Kim Kardashian reportedly use gold-infused treatments to give their hair an extra boost of shine and strength. Gold nanoparticles are believed to enhance the absorption of other active ingredients and protect hair from environmental stressors. How to try it: Once a week, apply a generous amount of a gold-nano infused mask or oil (like Silkonite) to damp hair, focusing on the mid-lengths and ends. Leave on for 20-30 minutes, then rinse thoroughly. You’ll notice a visible shine and silkiness.

4. The Overnight Braid Treatment

It’s not just about what you put in your hair, but also how you style it while you sleep. Many models and musicians swear by loose braids overnight, paired with a nourishing serum or oil. This not only prevents tangling and breakage but also creates soft, heatless waves by morning. How to try it: After applying a few drops of Silkonite Hair Oil to the ends of your hair, loosely braid it before bed. In the morning, undo the braids for effortless, frizz-free waves and hydrated ends.

5. Cold Water Rinse for Lasting Shine

The simplest tricks are often the most effective. Hair icons like Blake Lively and Taylor Swift have shared that they finish their hair-washing routine with a cold water rinse. Cold water helps to seal the cuticle, locking in moisture and adding a natural gloss to the hair. How to try it: After conditioning, rinse your hair with cool water for 30 seconds. For an extra boost, finish with a lightweight oil like Silkonite to lock in the shine and protect against humidity.
