TikTok, aside from its addicting dancing and dubbing videos, is also home to tons, and we mean TONS, of beauty hacks. Some are a tiiiiiiny bit gimmicky, but some of them *actually* work. Today, we'll be discussing yet another trick—this time, for your hair.
@allisonnkayyy posted a video on how she used socks (!!!) to get pretty, mermaid-wave hair, similar to Chie Filomeno's look here:
That's right, she did not use a fancy curling wand or hot iron, but socks—the item you wear on your feet to keep them cozy. Though this may seem like it teeters to the side of clickbait beauty hacks, Ally Kay's finished look is so gorgeous that we had to know more about it. Keep on scrolling for a more extensive tutorial:
@allisonnkayyy And that’s on how I get my Ariel curls. Oh and Happy Valentine’s Day! ##sockcurls ##littlemermaid ##fyp ##fory?u ##formyvalentine ##ariel

In her initial video, Ally shows off her slightly damp hair. In the next clip, she is seen sectioning her locks and weaving knee-high socks into each one. After some time, she pulls out the socks to reveal ~*flawless*~ curls. HOW???
Thankfully, after her first video went viral, Ally then posted a more in-depth tutorial of how exactly she did it. First, she secured a sock on one section of her hair using a claw clip. Then, she divided the said section into two and weaved them around the sock using crisscross motions.
To secure the "braid," she wrapped an elastic at the very end. You can do this for as many sections as you'd like, and allow the curls to set overnight. In the morning, remove the socks to reveal heatless, no-fuss waves!
