A new filter has been going viral on TikTok as it allows users to see themselves with realistic long hair. Here’s how to try out the popular effect for yourself.

Over the years, there has been a huge number of different filters and effects that have gone viral on TikTok, some of which aren’t even available on the platform.

FaceApp’s old-age filter recently garnered traction on the short-form video app, with thousands of creators sharing their results, revealing how they’d look as a grandma or grandad.

Now, users are going gaga over the Long Hair filter, which does exactly as it promises. Here’s where to find the popular TikTok Long Hair filter and how to use it.

The filter that men are using to see themselves with long hair is only available on FaceApp, which also offers many other effects that transform your appearance.

You will need to download the free app from App Store or Google Play and upload a photo of yourself. Once you’ve done that, simply follow these steps to access the filter:

  1. Open FaceApp.
  2. Scroll through the hairstyles at the bottom and click “Long 2.”

You can then create a video with the filter using CapCut, another TikTok-linked app.
