Hairstylist Tests Tik Tok Hair Hacks... *SHOCKED by the results* - Kayley Melissa

[@marythomson6181]

For a new series, I’d love to see you help specific viewers and their hair problems! We could send in a short video explaining our difficulties and you could recommend styling tips and whatnot to help!

[@katieclark2720]

I would love this

[@cottage-core_]

I need this

[@gmfurtado]

Great idea!

[@lalalexikins]

She could do an Instagram survey or something ?

[@tracyseegers]

Yes, I would love this idea. I got bad short cut a few weeks ago and I’m staying in more and more because I’m embarrassed! I don’t now if I should let it grow or cut more to try to make it better.

[@IonIsFalling7217]

The "put starch in oily hair" hack was in full use in the 18th century.

[@minagica]

Ikr? With rice powder to boot!

[@jessicawylie8894]

My mom uses talcum powder, and it works. She's also in her 70s, so she's been doing that a WHILE.

[@juliar332]

Jessica Wylie talcum powder has asbestos in it

[@jessicawylie8894]

@@juliar332 well as I no longer speak to any of my family, then hopefully it works faster. But why would something used for babies have asbestos in it??? That's still pretty crazy.

[@Ceares]

@@jessicawylie8894 talc doesn't have asbestos in it naturally but it can be contaminated by asbestos because they exist in close proximity. There are safety regulations in place to prevent the contaminated talc from being used. YMMV as to whether that is effective or not.

I've been knowing that flat iron trick for 15 years. So it definetly did exist in the world, maybe just not online xD

[@Sarasvati69]

same here. I have been using this for at least 9 years. So.. sorry Kayley ^^

[@LaurenRenee087]

Same!

[@98kissmeintherain]

Sameee. And I am pretty sure I learned it from youtube so its definitely not new lol

[@Leanne_w]

Same, I’ve been doing that fir years. I can’t even get it to curl the other way when people twist it. She defo didn’t create it lol. But she got so excited. So let her be happy and believe she made it. 😊

[@myidiosyncrasy]

Yeah. I think I actually learned it on youtube? Like 10 years ago probably?

[@debbisurmanhobbs9805]

That flatiron trick has been around for at least two decades. Us "older" gals used it in the 90's, but we made it work with the wider plate or a large barrel curling iron. I went to cosmetology school in 2007 and it was a go to move for most of us.

[@Chrisplainjane]

Lol the flat iron curl has been a thing for ever. I had my hair done like that over 12 years ago!

[@luellaruhter8807]

It’s so good to see how happy u are and knowing your sister(and I’m sure your family) have been with u. What a blessing. Love your videos

[@LarrietDarling]

I was doing that with my straightener ~2009. 😂 It's how I would touch up my natural curls.

[@constance5347]

I would actually want a full tutorial of that crochet braid!!

[@carveylover]

I LOVE the shade of your tik tok!!!! You tell them queen.

[@EllenOzHealth]

Ughh I used to do the cocoa powder and corn starch like 10 years ago! I was working out one day and legit smelled like brownies... never did it again! Just pay for the dry shampoo, people! 😆

[@katieclark2720]

I feel like smelling like brownies isnt the worst but if you need a dry shampoo you should probably just by them

[@juliar332]

Katie Clark You could attract bees though

[@laurenasuzano1977]

I literally wish my hair looked like yours more and more every day

[@rocacore]

wait, this sounds crazy... but idk if you have seen the trend "dressing like my playlist" you could do that but with hair with songs you currently like or overall are your favorite hehe

[@WhoisKell]

Rox That sounds like a lot of fun... and we get to see(an/or try) some nice hairstyles!

[@IllogicalRaven]

I use talc when I’ve run out out dry shampoo and that works, I find that baby powder works well and medicated talc is good for my scalp psoriasis. But nothing works as good as a can of dry shampoo imo.

[@4everrainie]

I have psoriasis too, thanks for sharing your tips!

[@maitesoto1953]

Dry shampoo is not really common where I live so I use talc powder! Put a little bit, rub it in, brush it out. Works like a charm for me and I never get a white cast even though I have really dark hair

[@juliar332]

Talcum powder has asbestos in it

[@sugar6320]

Felicia Bourque I’ve tried it, but you need a lot

[@SubhaChugh]

Not for dark hair, though, right? Also, wouldn't it look kinda like dandruff?

[@nikaklok5664]

@@SubhaChugh you need a powder matched to the colour of yor hair. You can mix cocoa powder with cornflour to get the right colour

[@ambergerrard6961]

We know you made it Kayley!!! And YES shout out to Anna Laura, been loving all these videos that you’ve helped on and I get excited when I see that you guys post 😄

[@jamieyerk7746]

That sister moment at the end had me tearing up. That support system is so important during tough times. I love the love you two have for each other.

[@RBlackburnification]

Kayley, I've been watching you for several years and have always loved your videos. You've taught me how to do so many braids and hair hacks!But I always was annoyed at how inconsistently you posted (because I wanted more videos). But this past year I have noticed your consistency. And have grown to love you and your personality and expertise more in this one year than all the previous ones. And I love that you have your sister join your videos. Congratulations on your year anniversary! I don't do social media so that was the first time I heard about your personal life and just want to thank you for sharing. Your relationship with your sister reminds me of how I am with my younger sisters. And its nice to see you be a little vulerable. Keep doing your thing girly 💕

[@dazem8]

ive been watching her a long time as well. seems much happier once she started filming with her sister. sweet that they have such close relationship 😊

[@EllenOzHealth]

The sister moment at the end 😭❤️

[@ck-mz4gd]

i did the flat iron trick back in 2015 (and i still do it, because i just like the curls better). when you’re too broke for a curling iron, you improvise with your sisters straightener!

[@zzoa.]

I know people say it a lot but I love your relationship with Anna Laura. It's been so much fun having her in your videos!!

[@bextree]

I had a hair stylist do the "tik tok curl" on my hair about 6 years ago, so I think people have been doing it for a long time

[@MrsJShepherd1]

Curly girls have been clipping their roots for years - we do it on wet hair & using smaller sections, then diffuse or air dry.

[@iallen7572]

Lovely to see you so happy. Been learning from you for years. Thank you.

[@steviekimber2748]

Love your closing comments! You guys remind me of me and my little sister, there's nothing else in the world like that sister bond!

[@kathrin4005]

It feels like you‘re so much happier since you lived with your sister :)

[@khills]

People who get you through those dark days right after a divorce, of feeding you and getting you out of bed, showered, and taking those steps to mimic functional life, are angels. It’s even better if they’re relatives. ❤️

[@hannahdare4350]

I remember when you created that hair hack! I can’t believe tik tok took your idea!

[@s.8186]

She didn't create it. This hack exists for like over 10 years

[@maddietillem6778]

FYI: Cute Girls Hairstyles has a tutorial on how to do that braid with your hands. It's so much easier!

[@iamwindchakra]

I'm 34, been using baby powder to dry out oily hair since 2002. Also, it helps give you volume.

[@annchristian900]

Sisterly love is so sweet you two are do adorable together

[@kikidaintonpiacente3898]

I love the dynamic you two have together!!!

[@susanmiller4159]

I splurged on the body powder scent of my favorite perfume. Sprinkle it on. Shake your head. Works great. Also if you are in a hurry loose setting powder does work, esp in the hair part because it blends out.

[@myquirkylady9731]

You two are amazing, love your sister bond. Kayley you are an inspiration truly. I finally followed through with applying for school after watching you. ❤️

[@megan55121]

I love this video! You two look like you are having so much fun! And I am so glad that you vindicated yourself and made a tik tok specifically saying that YOU created that hack in 2016 🙌🏼

[@Judith21123]

yes we definitely saw it here first. I find tik tok so cringey. I just can't get into it personally haha you two have such a special sister bond. It's so amazing that Anna laura was there for you when you really needed her the most and has continued to help support you in so many ways and I think your channel has flourished within the past year. The content has been excellent and consistent and we are here for it!

[@Rishro29]

I do arrowroot powder and cocoa powder for dry shampoo. Always works for me! Anyone who wants a DIY dry shampoo give it a shot guys, might work for you.

[@susanallman7664]

Oh goodness I love you two!!!!! Actually was thinking the crochet style would work better WITH an appropriate size crochet hook.

Honey, the flat iron technique you 'created' was something people were doing back in the early 2000s lol. My hairdresser showed me exactly that technique in 2001, and I've no doubt she learned that way before then too and it was nothing new to anyone I knew back then lol.

I love corn starch for a dry schampoo! Just straight corn starch, nothing else. I've used it for nearly ten years. I apply it with a makeup brush, massage it in and brush it out 😊

[@kristikblank]

The straight iron method in the video has been around for a long time. My hairdresser taught me that back in 2009 while we were practicing wedding hairstyles.

[@firstklasshealthandwellnes1077]

Been watching for a few years but never commented. (Homeschooling momma of 4 from Cincinnati) Thanks for all of your hard work on your KZbin channel.

[@supkowideo]

Very fine, thin (see-through) hair + cornstarch-based baby powder works so well. The silky cornstarch is the right amount of "grit" for finer hair and is easier to work into dark hair. To avoid white splotches, shake the powder onto your hands then apply to roots. Better yet, apply some at night and it's not as obvious in the morning but still absorbs oil.

[@janetteclark1727]

you two are sooo !!! good together I was smiling the whole video... :) hugs

[@tanyabolotova709]

'Just take a shower!' Me: I'd love to, but not when it's -20 outside (like right now) and I have to head out in 30 minutes, and my hair takes 40 minutes to dry with the hair dryer lol. Have you ever had literal icicles instead of hair? No fun! :D

Yes! I made a Tik Tok video once of a makeup routine, and I couldn’t leave it up!! I felt like a dinosaur. 😆 And I have been using your curl with a flat iron hack since the original publishing. OG!

[@bunniejanie]

sorry, but i was doing that "tik tok curl" in 2010. learned it from my hair stylist. this is like saying you know who invented "blowing in the nintendo cartridge" to get it to work.

I'm 24 and never used Tik Tok (refuse actually) and I thought the joke was great 😂

[@sadiemcc9363]

Same (except I'm 15).

[@MrSasyB]

I've done the cocoa powder thing! Many times! When you are out of dry shampoo, baby powder and bicarbonate soda it's a winner (but bicarb will remain grainy in the hair and itch if you have dermatitis like me) the cocoa just helps get rid of the white film baby powder or cornstarch can leave on your hair

[@quitelight9693]

The "facelift" goes back quite a ways... I remember reading Marlene Dietrich used to do that daily, pulled so tight it gave her terrible headaches. I also remember seeing it done with tiny temple braids pinned tightly in vintage beauty books. I'm a vintage beauty geek.

[@emilypope8662]

I learned how to do my favorite 1 minute messy bun on til tok! I use it all the time . No mirror or anything 😂

[@emmastone8779]

I love kayley’s laugh, it reminds me of tess’s laugh from camp rock :)

[@emmymonson4161]

I use 1/3 cup cocoa powder, 2/3 cup corn starch & a couple drops of lavender essential oil & it works super well! I wouldn’t say better than regular dry shampoo but definitely more natural & less chemicals on your hair!😊

[@crystalmiller2878]

I did strict curly girl method for a few years and an approved DIY dry shampoo was tapioca starch/tapioca flour and cocoa powder if you have darker hair. I stopped using the cocoa powder when I realized I smelled so much like chocolate, it wasn’t pleasant as much as I love chocolate. I tried it with just tapioca starch and it worked just as great. Just have to work a little harder to get the white cast to go away. Dry shampoo hack though-apply it the night before if you know you’ll need it. The starch will have absorbed the oil overnight and you won’t feel so dry shampooey.

[@leopardqueen86]

I'm not on tiki Tok but I like the flat iron hack. I must have missed it on your other videos but I'm going to try it!

I see that Pro Hair Tie, AL! I bought those because of y'alls review! I love them! The info in the packet said you should only wrap twice though, so I cut mine to custom fit the thickness of my hair. It won't fit around my wrist. Do you wrap yours 2x or 3x? Thanks!

Kaylee acting like she made it up but if I figured it out back in 2008 I’m sure plenty of other people did too, pretty sure they did my hair in a mix of that and the twisting method for my ball back in 2012 🤷🏻‍♀️ it’s likely a case of multiple discoveries rather than copying
