- Hey everyone, I'm Mindy from Cute Girls Hairstyles.
Today, we are going to test a TikTok hack.
So I saw this on TikTok.
Yeah, I'll put up a little video
showing you what it is.
But basically the girl uses a curling iron
to roll her hair away from her face,
use a clip to hold it in place,
and it's supposed to be
the best blowout hack ever.
So we're gonna test whether it really works.
(upbeat music)
Okay we're gonna use
the Hairitage by Mindy curling iron today.
I'm gonna start by just separating off
my lowest layer,
so that the rest is just out of the way.
So in the video, what she did
was literally just section off
kind of a couple inch section like this.
She took her curling iron,
went down to the ends,
and then rolled it up away from her.
I have layers,
so I'm gonna have to maybe, like,
do a couple.
Then she kind of did this,
took it off,
made sure it was curled still,
and then took a little gator clip like this,
and just pinned it
so that it held that while it cooled.
We're gonna keep doing that.
So curl, curl, curl,
wait for it to heat up,
jiggle it, try to keep that curl intact,
clip it, sweet.
We're gonna do this side now.
Note to self, needs to go in upside-down,
unless you want a kink.
This is the trickiest part, I think, so far,
is pulling that off the curling iron.
Also, it's a little warm.
Not like burn your fingers hot,
but it's like a little warm.
Hope I have enough clips.
I don't know if I'm doing big enough sections.
I feel like she only had like 12 curls.
I'm gonna end up with way more than that.
This is where we're at.
I need to keep the sides even.
Okay, this time, I'm just gonna do two on this side,
so I'm gonna just kinda split my hair evenly.
Remember to hold your thing
starting upside-down.
I'm gonna roll it
and slide it off the barrel.
Hot, that is warm on my fingers, hot.
(upbeat music)
I think maybe I have decided
that it would be easier not to section my hair.
So I'm gonna try letting it all down,
'cause I feel like it's harder almost
to section it
than to have just worked with it
all out from the beginning.
So I'm gonna just undo it, this part of it,
and just go for it.
Remember, I have layers in my hair,
so I'm also dealing with hair falling out
that's not even in the curl.
And I did not buy enough clips, y'all.
Her hair must be a lot thinner than mine,
'cause there's not way I could get mine
in like 12 little rolls.
I should've bought more clips.
(upbeat music)
(record scratches)
If you drop your hair like I just did,
just take it and roll it back up on your fingers.
On this front curl,
I'm gonna wait to the end,
because I wanna do it forwards.
I'm gonna move to the other side,
which I legitimately am gonna have to use bobby pins for.
So we're gonna see how that goes, too.
Leave a comment below
if you guys think this is gonna work or not.
Undetermined for me at this point.
In theory, it should work,
but it's definitely more complicated
than the TikTok made it look,
which, I don't know.
You guys know how I feel.
A hack has to make it easier
than just getting a blowout to begin with,
so, I don't know, we'll see.
Definitely a learning curve on this guy.
Hot, hot.
(upbeat music)
(Mandy making quiet shooting noises)
This front guy,
I'm gonna bring forward like this,
and I'm gonna do just a pass really quick like this,
kind of to over-direct it,
and then upside-down.
(upbeat music)
Hottie, hottie, hot.
Hot.
That is hot.
What do we think, guys?
Do you think this is gonna work?
I don't know.
We're gonna hold and let it cool for a minute,
and then we're gonna unveil
whatever it is we have at this point.
Should be interesting.
(upbeat music)
Come out, guys, here we go.
My only concern is that I might have pinned 'em
a little curly,
instead of quite as loose as some blowouts look.
So we'll see what happens there,
like, when we're all said and done.
And that might just be user error first time through.
I mean, we definitely got curl,
and my janky bobby pins over here,
but they worked, FYI.
Also harder with layers, for sure.
Non-layered hair would be much easier.
What do you think?
Okay, last curl.
Comb, grasshopper.
I'm gonna start by just doing fingers,
just 'cause I'm not sure what's gonna happen with this
if I brush it, if it would just be crazy.
Well, I think I'm gonna have to brush.
I'm gonna use by paddle brush,
and try to control the curl a little.
Just this by itself, I don't love,
but let's if we can,
see, that I love.
Feel like this top one
didn't wanna cooperate,
so I might redo this guy.
I don't know.
I don't think it was just so easy peasy
like they make it look,
like it's just gonna magically fall into perfect place.
I don't know if I can even get this side to work.
(Mindy sighs heavily)
Does this feel like a hack?
And this, the pinning it,
it's like some wanna flip in,
some wanna flip out.
(cowbell clinks)
(laughs) I don't know, guys,
I'm ready to call it.
Final conclusion, this was supposed to be
a blowout hack.
I do not feel like it was a hack.
I felt like it was harder to control the curls
and get 'em to lay exactly right
using this method.
I also feel like my thumbs and fingers
got burned off in the process
of holding the hot hair straight off the curling iron.
Hot.
And honestly, even if I just took it and,
like, I'm trying to to think,
if you just messed it up and tried to,
like, would it be better?
No, it would not (laughing).
This is epic fail for me.
I am calling this one a fail,
unless I just user error horribly.
But based on the TikTok we saw,
I pretty much replicated her steps,
did not end up with the same result.
