Whether you’re looking for an easy way to cover gray hair or a naturally safe skin cleanser, you don’t have to waste hours online in search of the answer. Chances are there’s someone on TikTok who has already done the work for you. So we scoured the app in search of the products we need to be checking for, and were not disappointed.
These are some of the products Black TikTok can’t stop talking about.
Beauty of Joseon - Matte Sun Stick
You might not expect a Korean skin care product to be on a list of products Black people love, but Black TikTok can’t get enough of the Matte Sun Stick from Beauty of Joseon. Developed with cosmetic chemist and esthetician @glowbyramon, the non-greasy formula with SPF 50 makes it easy to reapply your sunscreen throughout the day – something most people forget to do.
In a post that received over 11,000 likes, TikTok user @7cristinarenee called it “the best thing that’s happened” to her skin care routine.
Facial Ice Roller
There’s no reason to live with puffy eyes and wrinkles, especially when an inexpensive solution is right in your freezer. TikTokers rave about this reusable silicone ice roller. Just fill it with water, green tea or another skin care concoction of your choice and freeze it to help reduce under-eye puffiness, tighten your pores and get your blood flowing.
Braid Aid
If you just can’t seem to master the perfect part, the Braid Aid Adjustable Finger Parting Tool is what you’ve been missing in your life.
On TikTok, creator @abglitz told followers she loves that because the Braid Aid sits closer to your finger than a comb, it’s so much easier to make a straight part – even in those hard to reach spots in the back of her head. The tip of the tool, she says, is a little sharper than a comb, making it great for parting. If you’re not already sold, the Braid Aid can also save you a ton of time when it’s time to take braids down.
“Homegirl taking her micros out with it sold me ! 🥰” said one user in the comments.
Bitvae Water Flosser
TikTokers swear by the Bitvae Water Flosser to help them keep their oral hygiene game on point. More compact than most traditional water picks, this tool is great for small bathrooms and travel to help you get rid of all of the yucky stuff brushing your teeth alone leaves behind.
User @kyrabyra loves how the flosser helps her remove food particles that get stuck between her braces.
“I fill mines with half water and half mouthwash and it’s a game changer!” wrote one user in the comments.
Length-n-Lock Hair Stretcher
Naturalistas tired of dealing with the inevitable shrinkage that comes along with their wash and go styles swear by the Length-n-Lock Hair Stretcher. With this easy-to-use product, you just wrap the breathable mesh sleeve around your hair and allow it to dry. And when you’re done, you’ll have the stretched out style of your dreams.
TikTok user @ebonyswope calls them a “staple” in her wash and go routine.
4C Edge Wigs
If you’re looking for a wig with a more natural-looking hairline, check out TikTok user @angeluriiel who showed off her 4C edge wig from the Hermosa Hair Store.
Commenters were wowed by how natural the wig looked.
“do u wanna sell this one?” asked one user in the comments. Unfortunately, @angeluriiel is keeping her wig all to herself.
e.l.f. Brow Laminating Gel
The Brow Laminating Gel from e.l.f. is a game changer for TikTokers who are looking to keep their brows laid without spending a lot of money. User @serenttaaa loves that gives her brows a laminated look. Others agree and love that at $8, it’s less than half the price of the popular REFY brow gel which sells for $24.
“It’s giving refy dupe, love it,” wrote one user in the comments.
Turmeric Facial Cleanser
If you’re looking for a gentle cleanser to help keep your skin looking and feeling fresh, turmeric facial cleanser is where it’s at. Users love the way it removes oil and dirt from the skin without irritating. The attached brush head is an added bonus for users who prefer it to using their hands or a washcloth. TikTok user @bestlifefinds_ says this cleanser gives her that glass skin look even before she’s had a chance to apply makeup or moisturizer.
Black Hair Dye Shampoo
Do you want to get rid of your gray hairs but don’t have the time or the money to go to the salon? Check out this 3-in-1 Black Hair Dye Shampoo that TikTok can’t stop talking about. Just massage the shampoo into your hair and leave it for 10-20 minutes and say goodbye to your grays. TikToker @ashybermudez called it a fast and easy way to cover her grays. Other happy customers love that it’s easy to use and doesn’t leave a mess in your bathroom.
“This shampoo is the truth..it is full coverage! I’m 47 and I’ve never dyed my hair before and I had no issues! I did do a strip test the night before after that i was good to go,” wrote one user in the comments.
