Mortified woman left looking like a Stranger Things character after her at-home butterfly haircut goes horribly wrong
IT’S the at-home haircut that went viral last year.
And while loads of women were left with catwalk-ready locks after trying out the butterfly haircut, Yum’s attempt was less successful.
She took to TikTok to share a video of her attempt to cut her own hair, which began after she had separated her mane into two sections – one at the front and one at the back.
She’d secured each section into a ponytail, and then took her scissors to the front pony, cutting it around where it would hit her eyebrows.
“I’m sure I did it correctly here,” she wrote over the video.
But her reaction wasn’t quite as convincing, as she looked in the mirror with her hand over her mouth while examining her handiwork.
She then took the back ponytail and attempted to cut off the same amount of hair from that bit too.
“Moment of truth,” she said, as she took out both ponytails and ran her fingers through her hair to check out the end result.
Realising she’d somewhat messed up the cut, Yum pulled at her uneven fringe as she tried to work out where it had gone wrong.
“this is how im starting my 2023,” she captioned her video.
People couldn’t resist poking fun at Yum’s fail in the comments section, with many comparing her mullet ‘do to that of Stranger Things character Steve Harrington (played by Joe Keery).
“it’s giving Steve from stranger things,” one wrote.
“Steve Harington in season 5 of stranger things?” another asked.
“I like it! My boy Steve,” a third commented.
Others compared her to the Bee Gees or Tina Turner.
After being told the cut would look better once she’d styled it, Yum returned with another video of her attempt to do just that.
Using a pair of straighteners, she tried to curl the majority of her hair, before straightening her “lion fringe”.
And while she left her house with her hair down, it got “too much” very quickly, and Yum ended up tying it up.
She then tried out another TikToker’s suggestion, using bobby pins at the side of her head, above her ears, to give a narrower fringe section.
Yum was much happier with that look, beaming as she wrote: “Pins saved the day!”
