I chopped my hair at home to get the perfect stacked bob – I’m obsessed but trolls say I should ask myself for a refund
A WOMAN has found herself being slated by cruel trolls after showing how she gave herself a “stacked bob” at home.
Cici took to TikTok to share a video in which she asked people to “check out” her new ‘do, which she’d done on herself from the comfort of her home.
She began facing the camera, showing off the sharp edges of the longest points of the hair around her face.
She then turned to the side and back, where the hair had been cut and shaved to give the “stacked” look.
Gym bunny Cici had previously had long locks, but still in the same raven colour.
And while she was clearly thrilled with her new ‘do, people in the comments section weren’t quite as impressed.
“That’s not a Bob. That’s a full on Robert,” one joked.
“I’d be asking myself for a refund,” another admitted.
“Whew ain’t it something!” a third tactfully wrote.
“What in the live laugh love?” someone else questioned.
“This would kill at the clubs in 08,” another insisted.
“Just because we can doesn’t mean we should,” someone else said.
“You look like your name would be Janice or Kelly!” another laughed.
However, others were more on board with the dramatic cut, with many praising Cici’s hairdressing skills.
“I’m gonna lie, this is fire!” one wrote.
“Y’all might not like it, but this is mad skills,” another praised.
“You know what? Hell yeah!” a third said.
“Whether you like the cut or not, technically, this is incredible!” someone else agreed.
Hairstyles that are kind to your locks
- Loose Braids: Opt for loose, soft braids rather than tight ones to minimise tension on the scalp and reduce breakage.
- Low Ponytail: A low ponytail is less stressful on your hair compared to high, tight ponytails. Use a fabric-covered hair tie to avoid snagging.
- Messy Bun: A relaxed, messy bun can be both stylish and kind to your hair. Avoid pulling your hair too tightly and use gentle hair ties.
- Soft Waves: Embrace your natural texture or use heatless methods to create soft waves, reducing the need for damaging heat styling tools.
- Half-Up, Half-Down: This style keeps some hair pulled back while leaving the rest down, reducing the strain on your scalp.
- Headbands and Scarves: Using headbands or scarves can keep hair out of your face without causing damage, and they can be quite fashionable.
- Loose Plaits for Sleeping: Before bed, loosely plait your hair to prevent tangles and breakage overnight.
As another wrote: “This might not be y’all’s cup of tea but from a technical standpoint to do this on yourself is impressive!”
“Wow – awesome job! I’ve been a stylist for over 20 years and that’s a really hard cut for anyone to do,” someone else commented.
“And you did that on yourself!!! Looks great!”
“I will ALWAYS love a stacked Bob. Beautifully done,” another praised.
“That cut is super difficult to learn and it’s honestly super impressive you did this on yourself!” someone else agreed.
Asked how she managed to do the haircut on herself, Cici said she had “no idea”, but had used a three-way mirror so she could see the cut from all angles.
