The filter which has been hailed by some TikTok users for making men look handsome can be downloaded from FaceApp for free from Google Play or the App Store and upload a snap of yourself. Then scroll through the list of filters and click "Long 2" before saving the video to your camera roll. You can then create a TikTok video with the filter using CapCut, another TikTok-linked app.

Download CapCut for free from the App Store or Google Play before returning to TikTok. Type "Long Hair Filter" in the TikTok search bar and find someone who has used the effect. The app should say "CapCut - Try this Template" above their username. If you click on the option and then the button "Use Template in CapCut," you should be redirected to the effect in CapCut. You should then be able to save your video and upload it to TikTok.
