I imply it once I say I’ll strive any magnificence hack that goes viral on the Web. So that you higher imagine that once I noticed individuals utilizing a can (sure, an aluminum beverage can) to twist their hair, I had to strive it to see if it labored. 

To present you some context, individuals throughout TikTok and Instagram (together with myself) are placing a bit of their hair right into a can, swirling it round, placing a scorching blow dryer into the can, and pulling out the hair to disclose a wonderfully curled piece of hair. I first noticed the pattern on TikToker Jonathan Ok Monroe’s web page, who claimed the can curled his hair to perfection. I imply, it actually seemed like he used a curling iron. After being one of many 2.5 million viewers on his video, it was time for me to strive it out. 

I will be trustworthy, previous to making an attempt I used to be satisfied it wasn’t going to work. However I placed on my magnificence editor footwear and gave it a go. First issues first, I washed the can out as a result of the very last thing I needed was sticky hair. Take note in case you do do that at dwelling be extraordinarily cautious when cleansing it out because the edges are sharp. 

To start out the method, I sectioned my hair off and inserted a small piece from the entrance into the can. As soon as my ends have been in, I twisted the can upwards till it landed near my roots. At this level, the total piece of hair was contained in the can. I took my Dyson Airwrap with the blow dry attachment on its hottest setting and started to, actually, blow dry the skin of the soda can. 

Within the movies I noticed, there have been no clear instructions on how lengthy to carry the warmth to the can, so I simply blow-dried the can till it bought too scorching to carry. As soon as that occurred, I slowly pulled the can away from my hair, and nicely, to say I used to be shocked could be an understatement. The can of Coke created not simply any curl however the good curl. 

Now that I had been confirmed flawed, I needed to understand how the hell that is doable. I checked in with New York Metropolis-based hairstylist Nicole Rolleri for the solutions. “The explanation this works is as a result of warmth hitting the can together with your hair in it, the new air is blowing in a single singular route, the identical means it could blow to activate a curl with a scorching device,” she says. Rolleri provides {that a} professional tip for this could be to hit the can with chilly hair after the new air. “This gives you a longer-lasting curl.”
