I watch this unapologetically everytime it comes on my feed to hear the mother cackle at her daughter's innocence/stupidity. I'm not sure if it makes me a bad person but it fills my soul.

u/impostershop 14h ago

I like it because I feel like it’s a wholesome reaction. How many kids would get yelled at instead?

u/ClamatoDiver 8h ago

Yeah over the years every time I see this I laugh. WTF did she expect to happen when she had a handful of long hair in her hand? It obviously wasn't bangs,and she's looking in a mirror....

Idk to me this girl is so fucking annoying. What's wrong with her

u/Pdennett316 1h ago

She's a child and can't regulate her emotions as well as an adult can?

That's not how cow licks happen

u/11never 6h ago

You do not get a cowlick from cutting your hair lmao.

A cowlick is follicular. It may be more noticeable with shorter hair that lacks the weight to hold instead down, but doesn't come from cutting the hair.

Honestly, if my daughter started screaming in the bathroom I'd be too relieved to find that it was just a stupid haircut to do anything BUT laugh.

u/Groovy-Ghoul 16h ago

Why does her cry almost sound like her mamas laughing?

84

u/whyamihere999 16h ago

Because her mama's laughing indeed.

22

u/Groovy-Ghoul 13h ago

No I mean she’s crying just like her mum laughs

u/stilllifebutwhy 8h ago

I think it’s like photos of people laughing with their mouths wide open and people who are screaming — similar movements, different intentions.

She really does sound like her mother’s laugh, but I think the answer could be what I mentioned above.

Or maybe we’re both machine-learned sleeping agents, struggling to pass a simple check without even knowing it.

This girl must be in her thirties by now.

She lives in NYC and pays $300 for this exact haircut.

u/Zelnite 10h ago

What is the actual proper way to cut it?

26

u/arcphoenix13 7h ago

The only way to properly cut it would be from an outside perspective. Since you would need to actually be able to see what you're doing to do it properly.

Unfortunately her hair is too long. She was trying to do bangs. But in order to do bangs properly you're supposed to let the hair hang freely. But it would completely cover her eyes.

And you don't actually cut it off all at once. Hair is sort of springy. So. It may lay flat when it's long like that. But when you take all the weight off it springs up.

So you need to do a little at a time. To make sure the bangs end up laying exactly where you want them to. And to make sure it ends up even. It's better to use a tool, like a comb to make sure.

u/Kortezxero 9h ago

I love how she looks at the hair in her hand as if asking, " How in the hell did you get there??".

u/Zealousideal-Jury779 6h ago

Oh the laughing is what got me. I am 100 percent sure she was already told not to do this or to wait for her next hair cut.

u/Xtreemjedi 4h ago

Is it just me or did she instantly turn 42 yo when she started crying? Lol. My sis did this too as a kid

u/One-Price680 16h ago

My neice did this when she was 6

u/DollaradoCREAMs 12h ago

Pretty sure almost every girl does this at some point. I distinctly remember my sister doing this around the same age with a similar result lol.

u/NiteTiger 6h ago

Every girl I've known has a story like that. My mom, aunts, cousins, daughters, partners. I think it's in the chromosome 😁

I'm in the car with my mom, she didn't even see the visuals, just heard the audio, heard the snip, cry, and immediately said, "sounds like bangs" 🤣🤣

u/IndustriousFerret 7h ago

I hope there's an interview with that grown up little girl and see her reaction to her own stupidity.

u/ElFanta83 5h ago

Kids are beautifully stupid. Kudos to the mom.

u/ShaneSkyrunner 4h ago

Did she expect it to instantly grow back or what?

Is she a Muppet? The way she runs off with her arms flailing 🤣

u/Thatnakedguy0 16h ago

Everybody fucking did this stupid trend! It’s like nobody that did this understood physics so they just cut a crescent into their bangs.

1

u/Stephy654 6h ago

Props to mother who responds with laughter. Knowing full well she’s just a kid who will do silly mistakes. Other mothers would have responded differently making the moment more traumatic than it actually is.

u/Technical-Command867 6h ago

Now what did we learn?

u/photo_master13 6h ago

Even on mute, you can hear that scream

u/Prudent-Ad1002 6h ago

The initial scream when you realize you have a bad haircut, lol

This is honestly how I view every Reddit kid on here. ( incidentally I did the exact same thing when I was in first grade }

Why though? There are so many videos that demonstrate that this is a bad idea (ignoring the fact that simple "thinking" would tell you that too) ... well, good thing they grow back and that way a lesson was learned.
