BASED is one of the top-grossing beauty brands on TikTok Shop, and almost all of that growth comes from creators posting real transformation content. Real application, real results.

From the Founder

A note from the BASED founder

BASED started behind the chair. Lance Baker built a huge following as a barber posting men's hair transformations on TikTok, and every day clients asked him what products they should actually use. He couldn't find anything that met his standards, so he made his own. Lance launched BASED in 2022 with co-founder Alankar Khanna to build men's care with ingredient transparency and no compromises. It took over TikTok Shop the same way it started: one honest transformation at a time.

Guidelines

Content Guidelines

BASED content is transformation content. Show real application and real results: flat, lifeless hair to full, natural texture in seconds. Keep it simple and honest. No hype, no gimmicks. The clean ingredient story (what's not in the bottle) is a proven angle, and before-and-after is the format that built this brand.
