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.

Prince Harry Had The Perfect Response When Asked If He Can Do An American Accent—And It Was Actually Pretty Good

Americans are fascinated by hearing people from other countries "drop" their accents and emulate an American one.

For example, it's always interesting to see a British or Australian actor in a movie where they're portraying an American character, but while they might veil their natural accent, they sometimes emulate an American accent from a different part of the country than what would make sense for their character.

Democratic Senate Candidate Blasts Trump Administration With Reality Check Over Their Withholding Of SNAP Funding

If you ask pretty much any conservative, they will tell you that the government shutdown and all its blowback is entirely the Democrats' fault.

This includes the cancellation of SNAP benefits, or the Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program previously known as "food stamps," beginning in November, which will cut off access to food to millions of people.

J.D. Vance Faces Backlash After Saying He Hopes His Wife Usha Will Be 'Moved' To Convert To Christianity

Vice President JD Vance was criticized after he said during a Turning Point USA event that he hopes his wife, Second Lady Usha Vance, who is the daughter of Telugu-speaking Indian Hindu immigrants who hail from Andhra Pradesh, will convert to Christianity someday and "see things the same way" that he does.

A woman in the audience had the opportunity to ask Vance how he squares having a Hindu wife and mixed-race children with his anti-immigration rhetoric, a nod to the Trump administration's ongoing immigration crackdown that is tearing families across the country apart.
