It's not uncommon for Instagram stars or influencers to show their everyday lives to their followers, whether it be through pictures, videos, or livestreams. They often show the mundane parts of their lives, like what they eat, or maybe how they relax their hair.
But one Instagrammer didn't expect what would happen to her as she relaxed her hair after having just bleached it not long before — I think you know where this goes.
She's an 18-year-old from New York City, who sports pretty much all the colors of the rainbow on her head.
This means that she has to bleach her hair a lot.
Just a quick look at her Instagram account can give you insight into all the looks she has experimented with over the years.
However, she made a critical mistake: she had bleached her hair just days before. It is generally advised that people relax hair before coloring it, and wait a week in-between treatments to prevent complications.
"I’m always on Instagram Live whenever I’m doing something new to my hair..." she said in an interview with Buzzfeed News.
She begins applying the hair relaxer and all seems to be going well.
Her hair begins falling out in chunks as she scrapes the comb over her scalp.
She was in complete shock and disbelief, immediately running for the bathroom to rinse her hair.
Of course, she brought her camera with her to document the whole thing.
However, her laughter soon turned into tears as the initial shock settled.
The video has over 80,000 re-tweets and was shared on platforms like Instagram and Reddit, as well.
One person pointed out that Lori had already been advised not to relax her hair during her last livestream.
Let this be a lesson, people, if you're going to bleach or relax your hair, hire a professional to do it.
She says that she initially had bleached her hair beforehand to be able to dye her hair blue, which she said already went poorly because the bleach burned her scalp.
People warned her to not put relaxer on bleached hair, but she went ahead anyways.
"People have been making me feel better on my Instagram, like, lots of people," she said, explaining that the comments are making her feel more confident to rock her new bald head.
She seems to be in high spirits regardless of the mishap, and to be honest, she is totally rocking a shaved head. But I'm sure she will be listening to her friends' advice from now on.
She's posted a number of photos since the incident and she is clearly rocking this new look. See? Every hair disaster has a silver lining if you have the right attitude.
