I tried the viral butterfly haircut but it was a total fail – now one side is inches shorter than the other | The Sun

WITH Christmas around the corner and weeks until our next payday, many of us are trying to cut costs this month.

In a bid to save a trip to the hairdressers, TikTok users have been attempting the viral butterfly haircut. 



This involves putting your hair into two ponytails and trimming the ends of both. 

In most of the videos online, it’s worked a treat. But for Tamara, the final result wasn’t exactly what she was looking for 

Tamara, known online as @tamaraelizabethge, regularly shares entertaining videos with her 18,000 followers. 

In a recent TikTok video, the content creator shared the results of her new DIY haircut.

Unfortunately, it didn’t quite go to plan and ended up leaving one side inches shorter than the other. 

“I’m gonna do it. We’re doing the butterfly cut. 

“Let’s face it, nothing in my life else could possibly go wrong, so I’m feeling pretty f****** confident. 

“So I washed my hair, run a brush through it. My hair’s really, really ratty and in stupidly bad condition.”

During the two-minute video, Tamara starts by brushing and sectioning her hair with a pencil.

“So I’ve done the front ponytail. It’s not even at all, but I’m past caring at this point because it’s stressed me out. 

“I don’t even have a comb, I’ve been using the scissors to do it. Oh well. 

“Then I think you put this in a high ponytail like this, and it’s got to be right high I think. 

“Right, so we’re at this point. I guess we’ll start cutting.

“I tried to use kids' scissors. It’s already going wrong, isn’t it?” 

She’s then seen chopping an inch off the end of both ponytails. 

But when she takes the hairbands out and pulls her hair round to the front, she realises the haircut hasn’t quite gone to plan. 

“This looks bad already.”

Jokingly, she adds: “It’s had a good cut anyway”

Fans loved Tamara’s honesty, with the video gaining more than 15,000 views. 

In the comments, her followers offered their advice, with one writing: “Cut more from the back.”
