The internet is full of easy hacks and useful tricks. Now an instant hair-curling hack that does not require a hair curler is going viral online.

One just needs to take a standard lighter and heat it over the gas. Then use this heated-up lighter as a curling rod and wrap a small portion of your hair around it for a few seconds. When you remove the lighter, the hair will be curled.

This unique trick was posted online by popular Instagram account @the.realshit.gyan. This clip has got over 12 lakh likes. One of the most liked comments on the video said, “Dyson left the earth….”, referring to multinational brand Dyson, which is known for its expensive hairstyling tools.
