Silent, tight hair close-ups with one bold caption pull the biggest numbers here, led by a thin hair fix that hit 265x the channel median. Fast talking walkthroughs and split screen reactions carry the rest, and the strongest clips cut within the first second or hold one shot for the whole open.

Biggest jump in the free formats: JASON MAKKI, 6.9M views, 265x its channel's median.
