scroll glow up
TikTok has become the new beauty school. There are millions of short videos promising clearer skin, faster growth, and a viral glow-up, but not all trends work for melanin-rich skin or textured hair. So we tested the top ones to find the ones that actually deliver results.
1. Rice water for hair growth
This guy is a guard. The increased protein you get from rice water can help strengthen your hair and reduce hair loss, but moderation is key. Overuse can make your curls brittle. Once a week is enough.
2. Cool and curl your face
A simple ice cream roll in the morning can help de-puff and tighten your skin. Black estheticians say that combining it with a moisturizing serum also helps with product absorption.
3. Aloe vera scalp treatment
Game changer. Raw aloe relieves itchy scalp and promotes hydration. Especially suitable after protection style.
4. Primer before foundation
This trend, applying blush and contour before foundation, gives darker skin tones a more natural glow. Prevents makeup from looking heavy while maintaining strong color.
5. Cheek placement for melanin skin
Apply blush toward your temples, not high up on your cheeks. It lifts your face and adds warmth without being overdone.
verdict
TikTok is a wild place, but these hacks will pass the test. The secret is to know what your skin and hair need, not just trends. And as always, the deep moisture and SPF are second to none.
