“People think that because we’re blind we don’t care about how we look.” How three blind women found their personal style

“My hands are my eyes, I’m not looking in the mirror,” said Molly Burke, who is blind, as she spun a perfect spiral into her blonde hair with a curling iron in a TikTok video. She explained that although people had told her to wear protective gloves when using heat-styling tools, gloves would rob her of one of her most important senses: touch. Ms. Burke, 28, who has over one million followers on TikTok and, was one of the first blind fashion and beauty influencers.

When Ms. Burke lost her vision due to retinitis pigmentosa as a 14-year-old in Ontario, Canada, she was bullied at school and found solace in listening to fashion haul and makeup tutorial videos on YouTube. Although she had begun losing her vision as a child, going completely blind at the exact age she was discovering her personal style and developing her sense of self was excruciating. Social media helped.
