VIRAL CURLING BRUSH HACK!😱 #curlyhair #hairstyles #hairstyle #hairtutorial #hairtransformation
Matt Randon put a hot styling brush to the test in his newest short, "VIRAL CURLING BRUSH HACK!😱", and it reached about 200,000 views within ten hours. A new short on his channel usually ends its whole first day below 30,000.
That gap says something about how the channel works. His catalog brings in close to a million views on an ordinary day, much of it from older uploads, while fresh shorts tend to start small. This one did not. It went up on the same day as "REMEMBER THIS IMPORTANT MESSAGE!", which has moved far more slowly, and it follows a purple shampoo hack from earlier in the week, built on the same "viral hack" formula.
The comment section is already more than three times busier than a usual first day, and it reads like a row of product reviews. A striking number of viewers say they own the exact tool. Most say it works, and many add a correction: in their hands it is really a hair dryer shaped like a round brush, better for a smooth blowout than for curls. One of the most liked tips warns against using it on dry hair and urges heat protection. Others report that the curls unravel unless you hold the brush much longer, or work in small sections.
A few are not convinced at all and ask what the point of it is. For a hack video, that may be the most useful conversation it could start.

I have that and it works like it’s actually so useful and doesn’t heat damage my hair
@3clipse_officalSee it on YouTubeThats the exact one I use it's a hair dryer in a brush
@LorelaiFavaleSee it on YouTubeI have it, it works. But it s mainly a hair dryer, not to curl and it should never be used on dry hair 🫠 and you should use good heat protection
