Usually, clients would help with handing out the hair fibre to the hairdresser while braiding their hair or assist in small ways to make the process easier, but this lady refused to move, leaving the hairdresser visibly frustrated.

Her reaction caught the attention of netizens, and the video quickly gained traction. Some found her behaviour hilarious, while others felt she was justified in her actions.

Many pointed out that hairdressers often expect clients to assist by holding attachments, even though they come to relax and get their hair done, which they are paying for.
