Have you ever scrolled through TikTok or Instagram and suddenly stopped because you saw something that made your jaw drop?
Lately, the online world has been buzzing with a viral video from the account @kiran.craft.and.creation. In the video, a woman in a salon has her hair styled not into a regular braid or bun, but shaped into a giant swan on top of her head!
Yes, you read that right. A swan. Complete with a long, gracefully curved neck and a pointed beak. The hair stylist meticulously shaped strand after strand of the model’s long hair into a living sculpture of art. Netizens immediately erupted, some in admiration, some in confusion, and some asking: “How do you sleep with that, Sis?”
Why Did This Style Go Viral?
In an era where layered or bob hairstyles are everyday occurrences, the “Swan” hairstyle breaks the boundaries of normal.
- The Shock Factor: People didn’t expect hair to be styled so extremely without a wig.
- Artistic Value: This isn’t just styling; it’s sculpting. It requires liters of hairspray (perhaps?) and god-tier teasing techniques to make the structure stand up against gravity.
- Unique Content: Clearly, this is “easy prey” for social media content. The visuals are incredibly eye-catching.
Who is This For?
Honestly, this style isn’t for you if you’re planning to ride an online motorcycle taxi or shop at the market, Bestie. Avant-garde styles like this are usually used for:
- Fashion Shows or Runways.
- Art magazine photoshoots.
- Content creators aiming for high engagement.
- Costume parties or Halloween.
Salwa’s Message: Extreme Styling Needs Extreme Care
Seeing that video, as someone from a salon, Salwa could only think of one thing: “How will she wash and comb her hair later?”
Hairstyles that require a lot of hairspray, teasing, and heat styling are very prone to making hair dry and brittle if not cared for properly.
So, if you love changing your hairstyle frequently (even if not as extreme as a swan), remember this formula: The more complicated the styling, the thicker the mask.
Make sure you do Deep Conditioning regularly, at least once a week. Hair is a crown; it can be shaped into a swan, a dragon, or anything, as long as the roots remain strong and the strands stay healthy.
