As Tyga’s and Curtis Roach’s catchy TikTok-approved corona virus anthem puts it, we’re all “bored in the house and we’re in the house, bored”. Speaking of the video app, it has not only been a great source of entertainment during these times but also an avenue for the beauty community to congregate. A quick scroll through the application shows content ranging from viral beauty products, advice from dermatologists and aestheticians, and beauty hacks for everyday use. One hot trend we can’t seem to get enough of is the so-called “sock curls” phenomenon that is popular among the Gen Z users of the platform (the hashtag #sockcurls garnering 44 million views on TikTok as of press time).

Above, we show the steps on how you too can get into the action.
