My toddler cut my hair & super glued it while I was asleep – people told me to shave the ‘witchy’ ‘do but I salvaged it
AFTER receiving a horror haircut from her toddler in the middle of the night, one mum was at a loss for how to salvage her locks.
People advised the distressed woman to shave off her tresses but thankfully, she was able to salvage her hair.
Sarah previously went viral when she shared her initial reaction her two-year-old son Silas’ handy-work.
She posted an update days later as she was planning out the best way to fix the mess.
The mum was unrecognisable as she showed off her long sleek-looking locks after leaving the salon.
“I really do like the way that my hair turned out, I’m very grateful because I fully expected going into that salon that they were going to have to cut off majority of my hair,” she said.
Sarah told her audience that she was having a “panic attack” going in to the salon, assuming that they wouldn’t be able to salvage her tresses.
She revealed that her hairdresser was able to strategically place extensions to keep the long length that she has carefully maintained her whole life.
The stylists also tested various products to see what would work best to remove the nail glue which Sarah’s son had doused on her locks at 3:00 AM while she slept.
After following the bonding agent time to set in for 30 minutes, the hairdresser brushed it out.
This clever strategy meant the stressed mum was able to keep her go-to look.
She shared her relief, especially since most of her viewers had convinced her that she would have to shave of her locks.
“I think I’m getting trolled on the internet, everybody keeps telling me to shave my head, that I’d look good bauld,” Sarah explained in a previous clip.
She joked that this would be her “thirteenth reason” adding that she’d rather “jump off a bridge.”
Despite her stress, Sarah assured her audience that she wasn’t mad at her son.
She pointed out that he was only two-years-old and didn’t know any better, admitting that she only had herself to blame.
TikTok users shared their own thoughts on the situation in the comments section.
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.
