What is TikTok pasta sieve hair?
TikTok pasta sieve hair is a way of getting your curls dried without the frizz, using a metal sieve or colander to diffuse the waves instead of the usual hairdryer diffuser attachment. The technique has gone viral thanks to TikTok user Liz Fox Roseberry who demonstrates how to style your hair using the utensil.
Fans have watched in awe as she creates the perfect bouncy and perfectly defined curls using the sieve - or pasta strainer - as a a styling tool.
She captioned the clip, "Just learned that my pasta strainer is better at diffusing my waves than my diffuser,” and the post has gone viral, receiving more than 18 million views and she uploaded a video demo so people could try it for themselves.

After washing your hair as normal, Liz uses her regular curl styling products to prepare her locks by forcing some ringlets (unless you already have them) , she applies the Kinky moves hair curling cream and beach babe spray. After distributing it evenly, she "plops it in a t-shirt" wrap up your hair and leave for 30 minutes.
Then, She tips her wet hair forward and into the sieve, scooping it all in before focusing on drying the roots with a hair dryer and then blows hot hair underneath the mesh on high heat, low power until it's all dry followed by a "cold shot at the very end to cool everything down".
After removing the utensil, she reveals her jaw-dropping style that bounces out of the sieve.

A second fan put, I’m shook this looks SO GOOD I love your content!!!"
Another fan added, "I have natrually curly hair and tried this. It works! The diffuser leaves my hair somewhat frizzy and the strainer does not"
And another fan joked, "Literally making my salad in the same bowl right now."
Just remember to make sure the sieve is clean before using - and indeed, before sneaking it back into the kitchen cupboard before other members of your house find out!
