Found this on Facebook today and I just can't even imagine doing this. Watching it is like watching a circus act.

[CindyOfTheOaks]

Oh just nooooo
I can smell it thinking about it !

[Sarahlabyrinth]

So, how does that work and why doesn't it burn all his hair off?

[littlestarface]

Literal Insanity.

[lunasea]

Uhm, no hairdresser will EVER be permitted to intentionally set my head on fire. :tmi: No. No. JUST NO. Not ever. End of discussion. No.

[Eas693]

He is using the powder to protect the hair and the gel is what's burning. It's a way of straightening the hair... in the most insane way possible

[Sarahlabyrinth]

But how does it work to straighten hair?

It's the heat that helps straighten like a hair straightener but to the extreme the actual name of the video is "hair straighteners are for sissies" ... because hair straightening doesn't damage your hair enough

I don't understand how the fire next to tender scalp skin didn't burn the poor scalp.

[ephemeri]

Literal Insanity.
HA! That's exactly what I said!

[littlestarface]

HA! That's exactly what I said!

LOL I was just waiting for him to bring out a towel and start smackin his hair with it.

[Anje]

NOPE!
Nope
nope
nope
nope

[Sarahlabyrinth]

I volunteer NOT to have it done.... :p

I was wondering what the purpose of the fire was since its obliviously not burning the hair away. Thanks for the clarification.

[Alissalocks]

This is the actual face I made watching this... :agape: :flamed:

[Arctic]

I can't see it without facebook account :(

[Aphra]

I can't see it without facebook account :(

Bloke sits in barbers chair
Hairdresser bloke covers his hair in powder and then gel

Then sets his head on fire, while beating the hair straight with flat metal brush things.

[lapushka]

I can't see it without facebook account :(

Yes! Some of us don't have FB!

[LadyCelestina]

If this is a thing, then I think LHC cheese salon would be quite plausible as well.

[stachelbeere]

this is probably the most cringe worthy things I've seen in a while... I wonder if the powder comes straight from a fire extinguisher? :D

[Cannelle]

I thought this was going to be the 'burning split ends using a lighter' thing people already posted on here a few times... was I wrong.

[browneyedsusan]

Wow-SER!!!!
:run:

[lapushka]

The things people think they have to invent to become internet/FB/YT famous. :rolleyes: I hate this kind of stuff, such attention-seeking behavior, IMO.

The scary part is that it seems this video was simply capturing a common practice at that salon/barbershop. It looks VERY scary, good grief. Client still has/d a full head of hair, though. Amazing.

Yeah, of course I haven't seen that particular video, but it sounded like a one-off, something they tried. Not a common practice. :o

[eadwine]

Just tried to find this on youtube and there are many more vids like this, this is not unique.

Mind ... I am not on a cell phone, so for me that vid was SUPER tiny.

[Arctic]

Good grief! https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ZoeM2UwuE8c

Completely insane, absolutely stupid and dangerous. Imagine the injuries the client would sustain if the barber lost control of the flames.

[Arctic]

Imagine the injuries clients have gotten when the barbers have been training to master this method! Who would like to volunteer to be the first real, alive client for a barber trainee?

I've had my share of trainee haircuts. shudder:

Yeah, imagine that!

[vampyyri]

This made me internally scream...
shudder::bigeyes::shocked::scared::wail::brainblea ch:

But I suppose that's one way to remove your arm hair if you're the one working on the client... :hmm::lol:

[Emmeline]

So if I ever go to hairdresser again for a re-style (unlikely) - instead of bringing a photo of what I want done, I could bring an instructional video��

[Nymphe]

Do a search on YouTube for fire to style hair. My favorites are the two barbers cutting hair with it.

[Sarahlabyrinth]

Apart from the fire (shudder), look how rough he is being with the hair anyway....

[DoomKitty]

I just showed this to DH and he was WTF and *** idiots lol. I've seen a video with Gisele Budchen doing this...hers were just the ends though I think.

[Eas693]

Part of me watches and thinks "well that is just insane".

However, my research (I'm an archaeologist) is in Mesoamerica I have seen similar traditions using fire to straighten hair. It started about 4000 years ago and is still performed in traditional communities.... makes me wonder if this has similar roots....

I still wouldn't be in the same room has it though lol

[Lanalavallama]

Exactly! The client's hair is Teflon strong.

[Wusel]

Insane? A hair straightener is the same insane for me. It's like using a straightener, does the same.

[Mimha]

If there is a stupid useless dangerous thing to be done, be sure there will be a stupid idiot somewhere to do it anyway. :rolleyes: Just hope it's not going to be my son who is gonna be caught in one of those "who is the chicken-hearted one in here" kind of male teens haze. This will be such an enabling inspiration ! (I don't have any son, but you know whattamean...)

My question is : is it just a way to buzz on YTube or is it definitely a technique ? I mean, like split-ends burning is ? There are so many weird traditional stuff in different cultures... And this guy looks like he is mastering the trick. :confused::confused:

[Mrstran]

I just can't watch the whole thing! :scared:

[Olavi]

While the video is bit cringe worthy to me, so are some of the comments here... Because doing something extreme to their hair MUST mean they are insane/stupid/idiot/etc... *sigh*

[Ligeia Noire]

I think it is a traditional thing, specially if these people do not have access to hair straighteners, I thought the guy was super skilled and quick, I was amazed, really, super cool in my opinion, of course it cannot be done in longer hair but it surely seems like it is something they have been doing for ages, you can tell that just by looking at the quickness of his hands and the relaxed costumer. We are not all the same, it is just like food, some people eat chicken feet, gizzards and rabbit and others think it is gross, some people use hair straighteners some apply fire, do not know if the straightener as it lingers more does not actually damage it more.
