TikTok users are going viral by trying out a popular fake hair effect that makes it look like you have bangs, with some liking it so much that they’ve said they might even try the hairstyle out in real life.

One of the things TikTok is renowned for is its huge selection of effects, including everything from beauty filters to bizarre green screen creations.

Just about every week there’s a new effect that ends up blowing up on the app, and users can garner millions of views and likes for trying out filters both made by other users, and TikTok themselves.

The latest to go viral is the ‘bangs’ effect, which, as the name suggests, gives people the ability to see what bangs would look like on them, and some people have found that the results are actually surprisingly realistic.
