Hairstyle Hacks: Stylist Uses Fire to Smoothing Lady's Braided Hairdo, Netizens Concerned

• A video of a hairstylist using fire to smoothen a client's braided hairstyle has gone viral on social media
• In the video, the client is seen struggling to pull away from the heat of the flame as the stylist carries on
• The video which has trended on social media has sparked mixed reactions on social media

While protective styles are meant to keep one's natural hair from damaging, sometimes the method applied in making such hairstyles often defeats the purpose.

A case in point is a video currently trending on social media.

In the video, the braider, who appears to have finished a 'shuku' braided hairstyle on the client's hair, is seen attempting to smoothen the hair.

While some braiders use scissors to trim off spiky extensions, and hot water to lessen the strain, this braider identified as @thacher1 opted for the fire method to burn excess extensions.
