Oscar winning-actress, Lupita Nyong'o, shared a handy beauty tip to all ladies around the world in her new Instagram post. The 12 Years A Slave star shared a video of herself sitting still while a hairstylist Vernon Francois used a clothing iron (yes, that same device you use to unwrinkle your button-downs, blouses, etc.) to spritz and steam her hair.

She captioned it, "My #tbt is a Hair tip from the infinitely talented @vernonfrancois: when you go #glamping and you forgot your spray bottle, an iron can come in very handy," the actress wrote alongside the short video, along with a cautionary hashtag, "dontturniton"

Women in the '70s used iron to straighten their hair to achieve that long, silky, Marcia Brady straightness while Nyong'o's trick helps enhance her natural, curly texture.

Lupita is partnering with WildAid on elephant conservation efforts and to promote education and arts initiatives for Kenyan women.
