    I Tried TikTok’s Upside Down Heatless Curls: See Photos

    It’s no secret that I’m a huge fan of hair hacks, especially of the heatless variety. I’ve been on a healthy hair journey for the last few months, and any activity that promises to make my hair look good with minimal damage is at the top of my list to test. One thing I’ve noticed about overnight hair hacks, however, is that they tend to be really freaking uncomfortable to sleep in.

So that means I really rely on quality, hard-working products to keep my hair from losing its luster. Hair masks, in particular, are my holy grail. I use them…

    How to Find Your Makeup Shade IRL As An Introvert

    If you’re anything like me, you’ve probably paced around an Ulta Beauty, hoping to look like you know exactly what you’re doing while secretly spiraling inside. Most of the time, I spend more energy figuring out if I can muster up the courage to ask for help than actually trying on shades. Because of my ADHD, I easily become overstimulated, and the next thing you know, I’m purchasing six concealers because I’m too shy to ask for help. It’s a whole vibe of pretending to browse while low-key hoping no one notices how out of place I feel. Sound familiar? Trying to discern your foundation or concealer shade without asking…

Read more about our Product Review Guidelines here. I’ve washed my hair countless times, but I’ve never considered changing the way that I did it. I’ve always rinsed, shampooed, rinsed, conditioned, and rinsed one last time. Why fix what’s not broken, right? But TikTok has other ideas. One night, I stumbled across a video on upside-down hair washing, in which the creator shared her hair-care routine that included shampooing and conditioning her head in the shower upside down.
