We saw it on Tik Tok and the experts confirm it: head washing upside down is the key to more deep cleansing and rich volume. In trying to achieve the most impressive curls, we have found that the main technique (besides using a diffuser while drying) is to double deep cleaning. Apply shampoo, rinse and repeat. Except now you will turn upside down, as Tik Tok advises us.

This method is a viral phenomenon with over 20 million views and it is suggested to shoot upside down while swimming. It may seem like a simple beauty trend designed solely to create buzz on social media, but experts confirm that it great results for hair.
