A4 AY, 1 1 2 0 2 2 A A I Hello, fellow adults! (Not to pre- sume, but you are reading print media, after all.) here to tell you that TikTok just a place where teens make mashed pota- toes by pouring potato chips into boiling water, or where Montreal musicians can go viral for rating icicles or setting low-stakes in- ternet fights to music. also an endless font of hair and makeup advice. TikTok influencers rack up mil- lions of views and usually with the help of a catchy new term drive beauty hashtags that turn into viral trends. slugging slathering your entire face with petroleum jelly overnight to lock in moisture, and now nail slugging, ditto. And skin cycling: a four-day skin-care regimen involving a night of exfoliation, a night of retinoids and two nights of recovery (repeat).

There are tons of other beauty routines, many of them in the service of trying to achieve an aspirational Korean beauty (aka K-beauty) term for a perfectly smooth, glowing complexion. Then there are the makeup hacks like layering on tons of blush before your foundation so you look like your flush is truly coming from within, or applying mascara only to the tips of your lashes. These days on TikTok, find people showing off so-called siren lips or doe lips, following previous hashtags for siren eyes and doe eyes. Good news for us non-teens: also a tired eyes trend a look many of us can pull off without even trying. A TikTok trend can make products fly off the shelves, like Maybelline Lash Sensational Sky High Mascara (I found it irritat- ed my eyes) and Selena Rare Beauty liquid blush resisted buying it so far but will probably crack eventually).

Tik- Tok users have also been buying up Almost Lipstick in Black Honey a cult product some of us have been using since the Cue the countdown till these youths discover the MAC lip pencil in Spice. But the TikTok craze that has actually changed my life is heat- less curls a hack that involves wrapping your hair around a bathrobe tie overnight. Personal- ly, I prefer being able to close my bathrobe, so I instead use a roller that looks like a long satin snake, two scrunchies and a strong claw clip. Over the years, tried just about every product and tech- nique for curling hair: hot rollers, Velcro rollers, curling irons, curl cream even my flat iron as pinch-hitter for loose curls from time to time. Before this, a high- er-end curling iron paired with hairspray worked best, though I found it onerous to spend the 15 to 20 minutes it required.

But with heatless curls, you just use a little spritz of water (hair should be 95 per cent dry), wrap hair around the roller, twist it tight and clip it up, leaving your hair in a pleasing kind of crown on your head. Then go to sleep and take it out in the morning. The end effect looks like perfect curling-iron curls that gradually relax into coiffed waves. been doing it a few times a week since May, and never had so many compliments. evangelical about heatless curls because nobody has more hair or is lazier about it than I am.

With this method, it just takes three to five minutes at night. Plus, the hair roller (or, sure, bathrobe tie) handily gets your locks out of the way for bedtime more toothpaste hair. If you have anywhere to go first thing in the morning, you can leave it in for tighter, longer-last- ing ringlets. Now, as they say on the inter- net: YMMV (your mileage may vary). I have thick, wavy hair, which needs hairspray to hold curling-iron curls but apparently requires nothing to hold heatless curls for days in between washes.

But if you have fine or very straight hair, you might not get the same results. Most beauty trends on Tik- Tok change your life. For instance, a less successful curling hack involves putting pieces of your hair inside an aluminum can and heating it up. In other TikToks, young women recommend putting four white makeup dots around the eyes to hypnotize men, who will likely indeed be mesmerized, though perhaps not in the hoped- for way. You probably need to know about the clean-girl esthet- ic, or fashion trends like kidcore, pearlcore, Barbiecore or Dark Academia.

Actually, Dark pret- ty cool. But you definitely need to know about vabbing. Seriously, ask. I have a confession: I deleted TikTok before the COVID-19 pandemic because I could tell it was an addictive time wast- er. I heard about heatless curls where else? via a product advertised on Facebook: the safest place for us adults to get TikTok news.
