WATCH: Woman loses her edges after a perm disaster

A TikTok content creator recently uploaded a video on her account that garnered a lot of attention where she shared her experience with perm chemicals she used to achieve a silkier look for a ponytail hairstyle. Unfortunately, after using the harsh chemicals, her edges fell off.

The video has gained massive popularity, with over 11.6 million views. It sparked a heated conversation within the TikTok community, with many expressing concern about the safety of the products used.

Commenters asked the creator about the specific chemicals she used, prompting her to respond in a follow-up video, where she clarified that she used hair removal body cream by Nair, a product suggested by her friend.

“Guys the bottle says ‘softening baby oil’ which is easily mistaken for softening baby hair,” said the woman.

This incident has brought to light the importance of being cautious when using hair care products and the need to thoroughly research any new product before trying it out. It’s essential to be aware of the potential side effects of any hair treatment and to choose products that are safe for your hair type.

In her two-part series, the woman, whose handle is 6figurebabe, is seen wiping off the fallen hair with a wipe, a shocking and painful reminder of the consequences of using harsh chemicals on your hair.

The comment section was flooded with users asking her which product she used with one user saying, “I don’t think she knows what Nair does because I think all she read on the bottle was cream and was like, ‘I can perm my edges with it.'”

Another user said, “This is why they say reading is fundamental.”

While another user commented, “I’d lose that friend straight away, she sabotaged your looks.”
