A haircut has sparked controversy online since footage was shared online Saturday, garnering almost five million views so far.
In a caption accompanying the video, which features a stylist cutting several layers into a female model’s long blonde hair, viewers were asked whether the cut is “quirky, stylish and smooth” and if it is “a new trend in the making?” More than 26,000 people have posted comments, and many have been caustic.
“I think I can safely speak on behalf of the nation by saying that this is most definitely NOT going to be a trend,” said one commentator in a posting to the Facebook page of Barbershapp, which shared the video clip. That comment has received almost 14,000 likes so far, and many others would seem to agree that the cut is not going to be a trend any time soon.
