 As the world (slowly) reopens, it’s time to start putting on real clothes and revamping our hair and makeup routine — but why go back to damaging your hair with hot tools when you can create the perfect curls using a t-shirt? Aparna saved our strands with this heatless curls hack.

2. Place a t-shirt, towel, or pillow case on a flat surface
3. Flip your head over, like you’re about to put your hair in a high ponytail
4. Angle your head so the end of your hair lie in the center of the fabric

6. Take the ends of the fabric and twist them until tight
7. Flip your head back upright

Tawney Lee just made shaping your eyebrows a whole lot easier. All you need is Q-Tips and an eye pencil. Picture-perfect brows are just seconds away...

How to DIY It: A Step-By-Step Guide

1. Hold a Q-tip (yes, we said Q-Tip) against the end of your brows 
2. Mark the spot your Q-Tip is lined up against with a brow pencil 
3. Repeat by moving the Q-Tip to the beginning of your brow (where your eye starts), the point where the end of your eye lines up with your brow, then the middle, and highest point of your brow
4. Connect the dots along your brows
5. Fill in using short, light strokes
