TikToker @shawna.piranha tried out Liz Fox Rosebury's trick for curling hair—and was stunned by the impressive results.

Make us preferred on Google

We've all been intrigued by the latest TikTok hacks, but unfortunately, we don't all end up with the same results as the creators of the viral videos.

However, we may have a winner for all on our hands... well, a winner for all with curly hair, anyway.


TikToker @shawnapiranha (Shawna) braved a hack from creator @foxcraftcustom that ended quite marvelously.

In the now-viral video, which has been viewed more than 29.2 million times, Shawna tried using a metal strainer as a diffuser while blow drying her hair.

She captioned the video:

"This may be the weirdest hack I've tried hahaha."

But we think she's glad she tried it.

Shawna began:

"Is this a terrible idea?"
"Probably. Let's do it."

The video shows Shawna blow drying her hair using the strainer as a diffuser.

When she finally reveals "the moment we've all been waiting for," the creator was pleasantly surprised at the results, finishing with:

"I'll be damned."
"It worked."

You can watch the diffuser dupe work its magic below.

Last Week Tonight host John Oliver mocked Fox News host Jesse Watters for sharing unverified video of alleged "vandals" of the Lincoln Memorial Reflecting Pool and claiming that liberal media would claim that the people who were seen reaching into the pool "dropped their wedding ring."

The renovation of the Reflecting Pool has become a debacle, marked by recurring algae blooms, workers resorting to pouring hydrogen peroxide into the water to combat the problem, and a political blame game in which some Republicans have attempted to pin responsibility for the mess on Democrats.

Former Democratic President Joe Biden's Secretary of Transportation, Pete Buttigieg, posted on Friday about the ordeal he, his husband Chasten Glezman Buttigieg, and their 4-year-old twins endured after someone targeted them with false abuse accusations.

Multiple people have died as a direct result of swatting incidents.
