I Trusted a Random TikTok Hair Hack and Now I Look Like a Wi-Fi Router

It started the way all bad decisions do: 2 a.m., scrolling through TikTok with zero self-control.

There she was on my “For You Page” — some influencer with perfect lighting, perfect hair, and perfect confidence whispering, “All you need is three rubber bands, a bottle of mousse, and a prayer.”

Naturally, I thought: This is it. This is the moment my hair and I finally glow up.

The Setup

I grabbed my supplies like I was about to perform open-heart surgery. In my bathroom mirror, I looped, twisted, pinned, and prayed exactly as TikTok commanded. Ten minutes in, I looked like a Cirque du Soleil audition gone wrong. Fifteen minutes in, I swore my ancestors were watching in silence.

By the time I finished, I didn’t see “effortless volume.”
I saw two antenna-like buns pointing north and south, connected by a web of flyaways so aggressive they could transmit 5G.

My best friend FaceTimed me right then. Her exact words:
“Babe… why do you look like a Wi-Fi router that charges rent?”

The Fallout

The next day at work, I tried to play it cool.
Coworkers: “New style?”
Me: “Trendsetting.”
Coworkers (whispering): “Buffering.”

By lunch, I had taken 27 selfies trying to convince myself I was avant-garde. The truth? I had singlehandedly proven why random TikTok hair hacks are a gamble you don’t win.

The Lesson
