Say goodbye to frizz and flyaway hair with a home remedy
Anyone who has frizzy hair knows this: the mane is dull and difficult to comb. Although you can get flyaway strands of hair under control with anti-frizz spray, the beautiful shine is often missing. So how cool would it be if we could change our hair with a simple trickmake it supple and beautiful againcould without us having to use styling products?
This is the promise of a simple method that is currently making the rounds on TikTok. This involves using a household item that you probably have at home: the good old roll of aluminum foil. This time, however, the foil is not used to color the hair, but to make the mane supple again.
This is how the TikTok hack against bad hair days works
Aluminum foil against frizz? At first it sounds pretty far-fetched. But if you believe some beauty TikTokers, the household helper is supposed to make dull hair shine again in no time. The beauty hack is being promoted on social media under the motto “No more bad hair days”. And what would the online world be without it?coole Hacksthat make our lives easier!
Saying goodbye to the problems with flyaway hair in humidity or due to static electricity with a simple trick sounds really great. And this is how the TikTok trend is supposed to work: You simply take a fresh sheet of aluminum foil and rub it several times over your dry hair from the roots to the lengths. If you believe social media, frizzy hair can be straightened in no time.
The influencer's result: shiny hair like it's fresh from the hairdresser. But does the hack really work as an anti-frizz method and will we never have to worry about bad hair days again in the future?
Can aluminum foil really help against frizz and flyaway hair?
Of course, people are initially very skeptical when it comes to a new beauty hack from the internet. After all, a lot of viral trends are disappointing. Still, it certainly wouldn't hurt to try the method. We did that too.
Our verdict: A frizzy mane will not be tamed or completely untangled by applying the foil, but the result can still be surprising. After use, the hair looked smoother and freshly combed. Even flyaway hair was neatly arranged. The result lasted for about two hours. But there is also a disadvantage: this beauty trick is not really sustainable. Unless you use the aluminum foil several times.
One thing is certain, however – on absolute bad hair days, aluminum foil unfortunately cannot provide the necessary relief. But the method is recommended for a quick refresher every now and then. The hack is also practical for on the go. In addition to hairspray etc., most handbags will certainly also have a small space for a folded sheet of aluminum foil. Try the TikTok hack yourself, it certainly can't hurt.
