Hairstylist Tests Viral Tiktok Hair Hacks... Kayley Melissa

Hey everyone kaley your friendly neighborhood hair stylist here and today i'm going to be trying out some viral hair hacks, let's see if they work all right guys. Today we have another analora produced video. She hello has scoured tick tock to find hair hacks to both surprise, entice and scare me. It'S really hard work guys spend a lot of hours on tick tock, oh my god, so hard. My job is so hard. No, i'm super excited for the hair hacks that i found. I am excited for you to try them out and for you to. Let us know whether they are as good as they seem to be all right. So anna laura's living the wavy hair life and has been practicing her plopping skills and we don't want to mess with that. No, i worked very hard on diffusing these waves today, so we're going to not disrupt them and i'm basically just going to tell kaley what to do honestly. I love that, because i've been trying to learn how to make iced coffee. I made it way too strong and i feel like i'm about to shoot off into the atmosphere, so i will try and contain the categories, but i also had the same very extremely strong coffee that we did learn from tic the theme of our lives right now. It'S true, so let's go on our caffeinated hair hacky journey alrighty. So to start off our tic tac journey, all right, you ready for the first one. Yes, today we are faking it till. We make it because i'm going to show you two semi-difficult hairstyles, that you could fake and make them so much easier. Okay, the first one is a french braid which is like this. That looks pretty. This is the walmart version of a french braid. I'M going to show you how to do it on this side of my head. First step. Take a section of hair about this big you're, going to split it in two and cross the front piece over the back piece and grab it and let go of the front piece. Then you're going to grab some more hair and do the same thing. Huh back up between the front grab more hair twist it that's a twist. Let go should look like this and now you're gon na just take your hair and put it into three sections, adding this to one of the sections and then you're just gon na braid. As you normally would oh, okay and go all the way down, i totally left out a piece of hair, but we all know my life. Let'S pull this apart, oh yeah, i see that the shape is similar, so i'm really interested to see if it could pass as a french braid right yeah. She also doesn't look to the side right so, like okay criteria, we're gon na look for. First of all, does it look like a french braid yeah? Is it easier than a french braid? I understand that a lot of people have a hard time with french braids and sometimes they'll just come completely like. I can't do this hairstyle because i can't do a french braid, and so i can understand that this one doesn't have any actual french braiding to it. So i guess just assess the skill level required to do it first and then we'll just see if it can actually look anything like a french braid. Okay, all right parting, my hair down the back, i'm gon na clip one side out of the way i'll just watch from the side. Okay, take a section like this split it into two: you wrap it around drop the front piece, but then you pick up more hair and you wrap it around again. So you could also just pick up hair and add it to this section, but i'm gon na do what she said. I mean this is very easy. Oh you have a cute little piggy tail. It'S cute all right. She said to fluff it, which is good because it looks a little funny. Let me just do this because i have to be able to survive okay so so far, this is the one side. I i don't dislike it, i'm realizing i've really been missing out by not wearing my hair in braided pigtails. This is adorable. I don't know if i love how it looks from the front. I could probably do it better if i did it again but uh i don't know it was easy. It was fine. Let'S do a real french braid on this side, just to see how that looks. So i'm gon na pick up a similarly sized section and i'm gon na try to take similar sized sections. When i pick up new pieces, oh hair, i mean the whole dropping a piece of hair thing and then picking up more including that hair, it does make a fridge braid easier. Just like drop. It pick up a bunch of hair braid it over. Instead of trying to hold all three sections just hold the two go pick up a chunk. The hair that you're braiding with will be in the chunk and braid it over there's a nugget. Well, i am not immune to bumpies apparently got him on this one too. Okay, so where this is getting me is, i feel, like a french braid like it's claimed to fame is that it's pretty flush and then this version of it is giving me more dutch braid vibes if any kind of braid, because it's poking out, i mean okay, You'Re right, i think the 3dness of this one is different. Like nobody's going to look at this and go oh, you, french, braided your hair and looks like they don't know braids, which is fine right, but, like i'm, a braid purist, you guys know this. If anybody's gon na be a stickler, it's me that being said. This is cute, and i would wear this for my personal preference over this yeah, because i, like the volume right and even like the way, that switching to a three strand, braid kind of like makes this sit, yeah versus how this one sits. I agree with you. I don't think it's a french braid whatsoever. I don't think you're fooling anybody with that, but i think it's a very cool hairstyle. It'S a cool hairstyle. It is easier than a french braid. If you can do a three strand braid, you can definitely do this. Yeah, like i'm gon na, say i don't love the title of it, but the hairstyle itself really easy, really cute. I'M gon na give it a check. Mark yay, the first one worked alright on to hack number two: okay wait: i might have the best hair hack. We all know that the worst part about putting your hair into these clear elastics is taking them out because they rip the heck out of your hair. Well, i was tagged on instagram and other places that, if you use this lemon essential oil it'll take off these elastics. So i'm here to see if it's true, okay, so i'm gon na. Take this. I put all these rubber bands in my hair on purpose, which i'm not excited to get out and what you're supposed to do is you're supposed to put the essential oil. Oh did you see that? Oh, is this about to change my life, the coolest thing. I'Ve ever seen in my life go try this! Yes ma'am! We got you, i have for you lemon essential oil, all right girl. If this works, i'm stoked, i'm so excited. Do you know how many hairs i've sacrificed to clear elastics. It'S been a lot, especially in the hardest, braids videos i feel like i lost so many hairs to those dang elastic, i'm so sorry she did get the oil all over her hair. Do you think there's something we could do to make it like less all over the place yeah? I guess your only avenue from where she was was to shower for sure yeah. How can we do less? Hmm put it on a finger, maybe q-tip. Oh i like q-tip. This will be interesting to see how much lemon oil it takes. She looks like she dunked that thing she really did. Oh my gosh, your hair is fine there, oil. In that i can't feel any oh look. We we took the tick tock hack and we took it another level. Oh my gosh, i'm so excited about this nice all right, yeah. Let me try on the other side, that's insane! What is this? What is this science? You don't even have like that. Much! No! I'M not getting it am i on it. Yeah, it's definitely a thicker, it did it. It didn't! Oh nice, it's not! On my hair, i lost zero hair. Our whole second season of the hardest braids ever i'm like looking forward to it way more now. Also, all of you guys who have toddlers - oh my gosh or dance teachers. That told me that you use seam rippers great idea too seam rippers are smart, but wow life-changing go get you some lemon essential oil wow. Also, your child will smell pretty good. All right. Big check marks. Can i get a few check marks on that, i'm doing so good in this one wow. This is amazing. Now we're getting into a little hot tools. Oh yeah, i left my hair natural today. So what do i get to do to it? How to achieve voluminous hair with just a straightener straighten your hair section off? Oh that's fast twist the straightener as you pull it away from your face and let go whilst moving it down. Fluff up with your fingers and volume. I'Ve done similar ideas. I did a faux blowout with a straightener one time where i talked about, like bending the hair, just in the middle, to get a more full look and then get a more full look at the roots. Okay, that might work. Okay, that's so funny! I really looked at this and i was like there's no way this one works, i'm a sucker for, like so many tick tocks, but this one i was like hair straightener only makes my hair flat. So i was thinking that this one was gon na get busted. It'S the curve. Okay, we'll see all right heat protectant. This is my favorite 1-800 hold me from igk, it's a heat, protectant and hairspray, and has little shimmers in it to give your hair like a cosmetic shine, it's so good, but we don't want to give too much extra help to the hack. So i'm not gon na use that one and laura, which one am i gon na use, i'm looking. I'M just gon na get some water to counteract the effects of the coffee. You guys want a sticker shore of my water bottle. I'Ve got a potato. I'Ve got a sorry, i was napping which is uh very fair little teletize peace sign little, not pot sticker um. This says wonder you're so golden make today a good day. This is one of my favorites um. Chaos knows no sides, i don't know if you guys follow ben brainard on tiktok, but i love him. I did slightly over commit with all the puppies. What is going on. Are you giving them a sticker toy? I made too much coffee, oh my god, all righty! Here you go. You know you know i had to find her. Ah bb glow. We love bumble and bumble. We love our bb glow line, all right, i'm gon na start it here all right. So i put it in, i immediately rotate and pull and let it go. Oh that might be more than i needed to do. Let'S, let's do a little bit less say less say less wow. I think she's curving it away. Oh yeah yeah and then let's go as it's going out there, that's what it is whoa. This is working. I hope you guys are enjoying caffeinated kaylee's. Apparently, a one to two ratio on the coffee for cold brew is incorrect, but google told me it was right. I'M ready for the 90s, so yeah she is right. You definitely do have to go away from the face and not down, but it helps with the little. But oh, this is going to be volume. This is going to be volume and she did take it. The curve - and she just goes straight back with it - she doesn't over correct it forward. Okay, when you were just doing it just now, you, oh yeah. I was doing it like this forward, yeah all right, so i was doing it wrong. I got ta go straight back and curve a little bit and let it go, i mean, there's a little lift there. Let me just do the section next to it doing it my way where i take it forward and bend a little bit. I feel like it gets a little bit more lift i mean, there's lift there. I don't know that, there's more than there was before yeah i mean i like this little. Oh yeah, that's happening. That'S cute he's cute all right. Okay, so i could see how this would be helpful if you had like, if you really were going for that sleek straight all over situation, but you didn't want it to look flat at the roots. Oh yeah yeah, because when i straighten my hair completely, it just goes like down on my head, so this would be a nice touch at the end. To make it look more like a blown out, i could see that i mean yeah. That was a cute. Little touch up for sure. I don't know that it gets you like the volume, but i think you're right in a laura like if you fully like pinstripe your hair, but you want some lift, that's a good way to do it. Yeah, like the thing is, i i feel like she was advertising that this was a volume trick and i think it's more of like a take on a straight hairstyle like a root movement yeah, so yeah, it's like not as advertised but not bad, to try yeah That makes sense so yeah i like it uh. I don't think that this is like if you want big poofy volume, the trick for you, but i think it's good for a little bit of style and a little bit of movement, but because it didn't do the volume right, which is the hack. It was advertised to do. I guess i'm gon na give it. I would still say to try it just not as a hack to get more volume, necessarily how to keep your ponytail super high bend. A hairpin into this shape push the pin into your rubber band and you make high ponytail goals. Okay, let's find out my hair can almost really truly do a high ponytail. Now let me show you that's right. I didn't even think about that. You have like shorter hair. Hairpins are nice to have, but if you ever do buy the little like french hair pins, where it's a u-shape, you need the thick ones, they're, skinny ones and there's sick ones. The skinny ones are a joke. These ones. That are a little thicker. These are good. I haven't done a high ponytail in so long. Your ponytail is already so perky what the heck there's not much uh weight to it, because it's little oh, she, you really fooled me. Well, here's the yellow, like you, have to pull it down. It'S gon na fall down, so you just got ta go ahead and make it do the thing i'm gon na twist it a couple times and then i grab some hair from next to it. Pin up grab some hair from this side, pin up and um pin this little guy like it never even happened. Oh my gosh. Look how cute you are she's! So little all right! Well, she's, not super flat! So, let's see if we can get any perkier yeah. So we go like this get on focus and boop like this yeah, so it's gon na go right here in the back push it in. Oh, that's, nice and easy! You go over! Oh! I bet you could also bend this to like different shapes. I think that's perkier, i bet i could do it more hold on hold on i'm gon na change the bend just a little bit because of the shape of my hair, i'm going to make these like little arches. This is like a little wing. Let me be an all old school youtuber with the hand behind the product, so a little bit more like an iud, okay, yeah, that's definitely perkier yeah, because you look look how much you can see over my head now, yeah all right! I'M gon na give that a check mark. I think if you have really thick heavy hair, maybe double it up just for safety, but that feels yeah she's still there she didn't move at all. We love it all right. I almost feel like i want to put in a ponytail piece and see if that would still do just as good i kind of want to do it. Okay, let me see if i can find one real quick excuse me going into the hair closet, can't find my ponytail pieces right now, because we haven't unpacked them. How long ago, did we move? I'M gon na take my little friend out. I just bought some halo hair extensions, so i'm gon na see if i can wrap these around the base of the ponytail all right yeah. That kind of that looks pretty good. Actually, if i was to wrap that up, it would look decent yeah bet. You didn't know you could do that with a halo piece. There you go, i'm learning, i love finding new ways to use my hair all right. Let'S see if the little things can do anything with this because she's heavy so crazy yeah, i don't know if she can get much perkier but we'll try. I mean if we can get it like this that'd be pretty cool, making one more i'm making this one with the frenchie. You guys know. I love my frenchies, then i'm gon na put this guy with it. Just gon na find something to stick this into. Oh god, it's not gon na work, because it's got this whole lace thing in here. Oh here we go got it, i don't know. Is it any taller yeah? I think so. These things have disappeared into it. They'Re in there somewhere, oh yeah, no they're. Definitely holding it up, i'm gon na try to pull them up a little bit. Rearrange! Oh yeah. I mean that definitely did something. I don't know that this is the easiest bestest way to figure this out, but i tried, i think it would work on heavy hair. This is really heavy i'll give it a check mark my hair's already hurting okay, so you said for the next one: i need to uh, let my ponytail be a little messier. Yeah we're just gon na go like that and call it a day. Awesome. Okay, all right, this is our last one. All right here we go. Oh, it's janakin hairspray i'll go through. Oh, this is one of her signature tricks and i've never tried it. I think so, oh really, can you believe fun new hair and fly? I guess you could have your hair down if you wanted to, if she hasn't done that, but i think i wanted to see it like this. This is the true test i know. Jen does the whole like spoolie and gel thing right typically for the sleek yeah yeah, that's true! This would be more of like taming it, but not sleeking it right all right! Well, you have a blush brush and a hairspray yeah here, and here i feel like i should direct it at least a little bit: oh yeah, whoa, okay, okay, okay, okay, i'm gon na like slightly direct it wow wow, so it holds it up and it keeps Like a really natural, looking ponytail yeah, i'm gon na finish this side and then i'll show you what it looks like when i just use my hands, because it's not as cute. This is good for like an everyday moment, and this would be good for the little when you're wearing your hair down in the sprouts. It'S also be good if you wanted to leave this part down, but smooth this part back ooh all right. Let me compare it to like using your hand or something yeah, so i feel like this looks a lot like sleeker and kind of crunchier yeah on this side versus this side, and this was with me going a little bit hard yeah and also when you feel It this has a more like hairy, natural texture, whereas this feels a lot more healthy. I like it. I like that too. Okay, we try this on uh your hair down, i mean you, don't actually have too many. Let me get them generally going the same like it's not going to work. If you have one hair like this, and then all that, like you, have to get the hair going, the right dirt right - oh wow, yeah! So good! I really like that. Yeah me too. Let me try it on these little baby hairs. Oh my gosh, the stubborn babies i'm giving it a little twist so that it goes with the rest of the family. Oh she's, an artist wow. I don't want to do too much because i don't want to like yeah. I move my hair out. A lot. Don'T commit me to this part. That looks good though. Well, that's a win. Yeah wow look at whoa and you don't feel crunchy. It doesn't feel like you're, my gosh, it doesn't at all. I went a little hard with this, but that it looks tamed wow, i would say, that's a big old big check mark run out, get you an elf blush brush for three dollars: tame those baby hairs. So i mean that's all that i have it's so crazy. I thought there was gon na be a lot more busted. I guess i just showed some really good ones. Yeah. You did a good job, the ones that i thought were not gon na go well. Were the little bobby pin curvy one didn't really think that was gon na do much. I wasn't sure about this blush brush one, and i definitely thought that the the straightener one was gon na do better. Oh so i i didn't get what i expected at all, but i have a whole lot of new fun stuff in my arsenal. Yeah, that's fine! I'M so glad that so many of them work me too. I love a good hair hack. Yes and i love testing them so that you guys kind of know what does work, because i don't know about you, but i feel like i get scammed by tick tock constantly, not necessarily in the hair category, but i like bought a bottle score because i thought I was gon na start, making vases and stuff out of my wine bottles, and i full on cut my finger and like i have no wine bottles to show for it. Just a bunch of shattered glass. Also, there was that that trick about, like pouring boiling water into a candle to get rid of the wax and, like that really didn't work with like a soup of waxy water. There'S a lot of hacks we've tried that are not hair related that have fooled us. So we just want to make sure that you guys are not fooled on tick-tock.
