Then you heat up the can with a hair dryer and slowly pull your hair out. According to some people , you end up with a beautiful, salon-style glamourous curl — but is it real? Is it worth trying? A celebrity stylist has weighed in.
“I would not recommend inserting your hair into an aluminum can and heating it up,” Clariss Rubenstein told Shape.
“It seems like a lot could go wrong here,” she continues , like your hair getting tangled and stuck in the can like what happened to the user above , or even burning your hands on the can. She adds the results would be “inconsistent” even if it does work.
