New Beauty Trend In China Sees Women Wearing Pomelo Peel As A Cap To Achieve Fuller Looking Hair
From using face tape to achieve a V-shaped jawline, to getting the perfect nose contour with the help of a flashlight, Chinese social media sites are a treasure trove of beauty hacks.
How far would you go to achieve a fuller-looking head of hair? Well, if you’re not bothered about placing something edible on your scalp, this hack might be perfect for you.
A new beauty trend in China has ladies wearing half of an emptied out pomelo on their head as cap and then tying their hair into a ponytail or bun over it to achieve the appearance of thicker hair and a rounded scalp.
Not sure what we’re talking about? Let the gif below explain it to you:
Many influencers have tried out the ‘pomelo peel method’ and shared the results on Douyin and Xiao Hong Shu. Though the process looks silly, and, let’s be honest hilarious, it’s hard to deny that the hack works.
While many Chinese women believe that a fuller head of hair and a raised, rounded skull makes one look more youthful and attractive — a standard we don’t subscribe to — we’re impressed by how natural the outcome is.
Netizens have since praised the ingenuity of the very organic method, while others made jokes about citrusy scalps.
“Is this why I’ve been smelling pomelo every where I go?” asked a netizen.
As great as the results look, a number of people have also wondered about the drawbacks of the hack, such as: “Doesn’t this make one’s scalp itchy after some time?”
Another also wondered: “Wouldn’t you need to have enough hair for this hack to work in the first place?”
It looks like businesses have caught on to these concerns, for there are now products which work the same way as the ‘pomelo cap’.
You know what they say — don’t knock it till you try it.
