The man's TikTok video took his hair disaster on the chin by recording himself. People were amused as the man cracked a joke at his own expense in the clip shared on 16 March 2026.

In a video on TikTok, a man @d.realvic was out and about when it started raining, which spelt disaster for his freshly cut hair. The man got a clean trim, and the barber used a type of hair dye to fill in his hairline. The rain made the hair dye start running down his face, leaving him with a black forehead and streaks of dye running down his face. He complained that he wasted his money after walking in the rain from the barber. Watch the video of the man walking in the rain.
