I tried the bouncy blow dry trend – it was a total failure, I was up until 3am as chunks of my hair tore out
EVERY week, there seems to be a new beauty trend on TikTok to try.
But the 90s bouncy blow dry trend has been doing the round for months, so it was only a matter of time before Molly Cooper tried it for herself.
While a bouncy blow dry may seem easy to do, it was a disaster for Molly.
She began: “This is an emergency everyone, all I’ve been seeing on my TikTok is people with a bouncy blow dry, I thought yes, I’m gonna give myself a bouncy blow dry.”
A bouncy blow dry entails you using a large rounded brush while blow drying your hair to get lots of volume in your hair.
But unfortunately, Molly ended up getting the brush completely wrapped around her hair.
“My head is literally cemented to this brush, what am I supposed to do, the knot that is in my hair, help, help me, help me.”
In another clip, she revealed she wet her hair and began trying to cut the bristles off of the hairbrush so that her hair could be freed.
She added: “It’s 3am, I have been trying my absolute hardest, I’ve been cutting all the bristles off.”
Molly showed that the brush was a lot further away from her scalp, but it was still entangled in her hair.
“I think I’ve made progress because the brush is further away from my head but I think I’ve lost half of my hair,” she continued.
Molly decided to give up for the night and in the morning, went to a neighbour’s to grab plyers to remove the hairbrush from her hair.
Fortunately, the trick worked and she was able to free herself but she was left with huge knots and had lost lots of hair in the meantime.
The videos posted to her TikTok account @mollycooperx garnered a huge response from social media users with one of the videos reaching over 250k views.
People quickly took to the comments sharing this was the exact reason they refused to participate in the bouncy blow dry trend.
One person wrote: “This is why I will never use these brushes again I am permanently traumatised.”
Another commented: “I feel like every girl has gone through this at some point.”
“Omg you poor thing,” penned a third.
Someone else added: “I did exactly this the other week and I had to cut it out and I have a half a Bob I tried everything and just had to accept defeat!”
