Using a hashtag in a social post is as simple as adding the '#' sign before a single word or phrase without spaces or punctuation (numbers are okay). 
Don't string too many words together with a single hashtag.
If you tweet with a hashtag on a public account, anyone who does a search for that hashtag may find your tweet.
Don't #spam #with #hashtags. Don't over-tag a single tweet.

How to Use Hashtags (DO!)
Do be specific when using hashtags
Try and hone in on a passionate community that shares an interest in one specific theme. The more specific you can get with your hashtag, the more targeted your audience will be—and a targeted audience generally means better engagement. If you don't have your own business hashtag, find one or two existing ones that really fit the photo. To use an example from Instagram's own tips for using hashtags, if you're after Volkswagen lovers the hashtag #vwvan will earn you a lot more of your desired followers than #van will. Twitter has created a helpful infographic to help you choose the right hashtag.
Do cater hashtags to the social network you're using
While hashtags on all social networks have the same fundamental purpose of content tagging and discovery, the use of hashtags still varies by network. In terms of use, Instagram hashtags, for example, are often more focused on description of the photo and the tools used to take it than on a broader story or theme. This is at odds with Twitter, where hashtags tend to be more focused a topic of conversation, or a group of people (a chat for example) that you would like to engage.
Before using hashtags, do research on the proper way to use them for that particular network. Most networks will have guides for hashtag selection and use (here is Twitter's). Also take the time to discover the most popular and most relevant hashtags on a specific subject for each network. This extra time you invest will pay off in engagement down the road.
