In this new age of social media, platforms like TikTok have showcased a variety of content that turns out to be insightful. There’s no doubt that the video-creating app is recognized for the endless trends we’re introduced to. Somehow, we manage to keep up with these trends — replacing the old with the new. But… which trends are actually worth the hype?

Brazilian Bum Bum cream

Brazilian-inspired brand, “Sol de Janeiro”, reached popularity prior to TikTok. But after many reviews rating, SDJ products surfaced on the app, the Brazilian Bum Bum cream became one of the brand best selling items. The firming cream promotes a sweet pistachio smell with hints of vanilla and salted caramel. Aside from its ability to exfoliate the skin, regularly using the Bum Bum Cream is said to leave a tightened and firm appearance on the body.

Seems like the renowned moisturizer is definitely a HIT.

Chrome nails

Fun colors and patterns are always a stylish statement… hence why so many people probably took a liking to chrome nails. Chrome nails became a leading TikTok trend as their reflective, chrome-finished appearance caught everyone’s attention.

If you’re searching for a more minimal effect, chrome nails are a great alternative — making it a HIT.

Hair rollers

One of the latest trends all over TikTok includes using hair rollers to achieve that timeless blowout look. Using hair rollers has its pros and cons. They’re great for both volume and variety — and aren’t too time-consuming. You can choose from heat rollers or the velcro kind. Although less heat application can really benefit hair growth, velcro rollers can pull out a few strands here and there.

HIT for those wanting an effortless look but MISS in terms of frizz.

Pillow Slides

Pillow slides, or cloud slides, gained admiration all over TikTok. They’re basically a closet staple! With much variety in terms of color and style, there’s a pair for everyone. Nonetheless, their comfortable everyday shoes that are great for when you’re on the run or simply need a basic and chic go-to.

Comfy & chic? For sure it’s a HIT!
