A new trend has taken the TikTok world by storm that will make you want to visit a salon right away. The trend features people showing off their impressive hair color transformations in before-and-after videos.
However, instead of actually getting their hair colored, most users are relying on online filters to get a new look, and the results are pretty amazing. So how can you take part in the challenge and get a virtual new hair color? Read on to find out.
Hair Color Change Trend Takes Over TikTok
The challenge shows people going from brunette to platinum blonde to black-haired real quick with realistic results. The clips feature a person’s before and after looks in the same frame, with the left side being the real color and the right half showcasing the transformed look. The trend has now gone viral on TikTok, with the hashtag #haircolorchange garnering over 400 million views.
The clips also feature audio that has been mixed by TikTok user @not.jayswift. While many believe that there is an in-built filter in the short video-sharing platform that lets people show off the hair color change, such is not the case. There are actually multiple apps in play to bring out the perfect results for the trend. We have detailed all about it in the next section.
