A WOMAN has shared how she used lube to recreate a popular hairstyle featured on Megan Fox and Kim Kardashian – but social media users were left divided after the clip went viral.
Edely Fernandez, who films herself trying out various hairstyles on social media, heard a rumor that celebrity hairstylists used personal lubricant to create a glossy wet hair look that lasts all night long.
After seeing the look modeled on Megan Fox at the MTV VMAs in September last year, Edely decided to recreate the look by using the rather interesting styling gel.
Filming herself in a clip posted on her TikTok, Edely applied a large amount of lube onto her long, brunette tresses.
She smoothed the product into place, drenching her hair until the entire head was covered in a thin layer of gel.
The finished result showed her hair looking remarkably similar to the actress’, with a glossy sheen covering her long locks.
The resourceful tip left users divided after the post was viewed 3.8 million times – racking up 270,000 likes and leaving viewers to battle it out in the comments section.
One person commented: “I did this in high school bc I thought it was hair oil for months and my parents died laughing. Best oil ever though.” [sic]
“I like it. Unfortunately, you used the entire bottle…lol,” said another user.
“It looks amazing,” commented another viewer.
Someone else said: “Mind blown.”
Another user insisted lube sales would go up after Edely’s video.
“I wonder how they happened upon this technique,” one viewer quipped.
“This trick made my day omg,” another person added.
But not everyone was a fan of the slick look.
One user said: “I don’t really like this look on hair it’s giving greasy.”
“If I don’t wash my hair for 3 days my hair looks like this for free,” commented another viewer.
Another critic said: “I’ve never understood why this is the desired effect.”
Someone else added: “I’m sorry I have that lube this looks so wrong.”
Another user was concerned about the stench of the lube: “I would be concerned about the very distinctive smell my hair would be emitting.”
