If you’ve been anywhere near social media this month, you’ll have seen it – another glued-down lace front, another caption about “snatched” edges, and then, a few slides later, a trichologist stitching that same clip with a warning about traction alopecia and glue burns along the hairline. It’s become a whole genre: the baddie tutorial followed by the this-is-what-it-did-to-my-scalp reveal.
And it’s not just wigs. Skin lightening is back in the group chats under softer names like “glow” and “brightening.” Veneers and contouring have basically become baseline expectations rather than glow-up extras.
