'''Dillon Latham''' is an American TikToker, YouTuber, and streamer from Virginia who became one of the main routes by which [[looksmaxxing]] slang reached a teenage audience in 2022–2023.<ref name="nyt">{{cite news |last=Bernstein |first=Joseph |url=https://www.nytimes.com/2023/11/06/style/looksmaxxing-tik-tok-dillon-latham.html |title=What Is 'Looksmaxxing'? |newspaper=The New York Times |date=6 November 2023 |access-date=9 September 2026}}</ref> He is not a Kick "Chad Rankings" streamer in the [[Clavicular]] sense; he is glow-up TikTok. '''No English Wikipedia biography''' as of September 2026.<br />

== Career ==<br />
The ''Times'' profiled him in November 2023 as an 18-year-old from Virginia with a mop of hair whose account had gained about 1.3 million followers since September 2022. He told the paper the past year had been "taking things girls have been doing to look better and telling guys to do the same."<ref name="nyt" /> Later 2026 coverage put him in his early twenties, still based around Richmond, streaming on Kick as well as posting YouTube, and selling a men's haircare line (Simplectics).<ref name="prime">{{cite news |url=https://www.primetimer.com/features/who-is-dillon-latham-inside-the-viral-crymaxxing-clip-where-he-said-he-puts-his-tears-in-his-hair |title=Who is Dillon Latham?

<br />
He is repeatedly named as a reason [[mewing]] went viral on TikTok. An AFP feature (April 2025) criticized a clip in which he told followers to whiten teeth with hydrogen peroxide on a cotton swab; dentists warned that store-bought peroxide can damage enamel.<ref name="afp">{{cite news |last=Chopra |first=Anuj |url=https://www.barrons.com/news/toxic-beauty-rise-of-looksmaxxing-influencers-07fff2a2 |title='Toxic Beauty': Rise Of 'Looksmaxxing' Influencers |newspaper=Barron's |date=22 April 2025 |access-date=9 September 2026}}</ref><br />
<br />
In August 2023 he said he had been doxxed by people who treated his looksmaxxing tips as incel recruitment; he posted that people were showing up at his home.<ref name="distractify">{{cite news |url=https://www.distractify.com/p/what-happened-to-dillon-latham |title=TikTok Star Dillon Latham Has Been Doxxed |newspaper=Distractify |date=9 August 2023 |access-date=9 September 2026}}</ref><br />
<br />
== 2026 clips ==<br />
In April 2026 a livestream clip labeled '''crymaxxing''' circulated: he said tears contain salt, so he put them in his hair "like sea salt spray."<ref name="prime" /> The same month ''Out'' covered a Twitch appearance in which he treated "you look gay" as a compliment and discussed '''twinkmaxxing''' as a metrosexual look, distinct from the [[Clavicular]] hardmaxxing clip farm.<ref name="out">{{cite news |url=https://www.out.com/gay-lifestyle/dillon-latham-looksmaxxing-twinkmaxxing |title=Twinkmaxxing: The newest gay-inspired brand of looksmaxxing |newspaper=Out |date=24 April 2026 |access-date=9 September 2026}}</ref><br />
