Woman has VERY extreme reaction to her new hairdo after chopping her long locks… but that’s not what has people talking
A BEAUTY fan was in tears after finally giving her locks the big chop – but that’s not what’s got people talking.
Those who’ve had long hair for years know what a rollercoaster of emotions it is when you go for the chop – and Rosie, from London, is no exception.
Full of excitement, the 21-year-old photographer decided to record her reaction and post it on TikTok.
”Today I want to get it chopped, like really, really short,” Rosie said in her video before the big transformation.
”So, the photographer and self portraitist in me wants to keep my hair long – I feel like it adds so much to a picture.
”But I want my hair short,” she said, explaining it would be ”extreme” to keep it long just for photos.
But once the big chop was over, it seemed that the initial excitement wore off almost instantly.
Left in tears, emotional Rosie revealed the new hairdo and said: ”I hate it.
”I feel like I look like a 40-year-old woman.
”Oh my goodness, I’m ridiculous,” Rosie was mortified at the shoulder-length bob.
”What have I done? This is not where I thought this video was gonna go.
”I’m like laughing but I’m not happy.”

Sharing the video, Rosie added that this was not to diss the hairdresser: ”She did it really well. Like, it’s good haircut but I just…”
But although Rosie couldn’t stop crying at the fail, people on social media were more focussed on something else – the young woman’s brows.
Many insisted that it was their rather straight appearance that made for an odd look, with one writing: ”Don’t tuck it behind the ears and stop brushing up the eyebrows and I think you will look lovely!”
Another agreed, commenting: ”I think it looks good. Your eyebrows are really the only thing anyone would notice.”
”It’s a matter of styling. But quick question.. do you mean to have your brows brushed straight?
”As in intentional or were you interrupted whilst doin’,” someone else was wondering.
Fortunately, since going through the traumatic experience a couple of months ago, Rosie seems to have grown quite fond of her new hairdo – and we’re obsessed.
Sadly, Rosie is not the first to go viral after showing off her fresh locks – one woman was left looking like a character from Stranger Things.
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!”
