It was 2 a.m., and my best friend and I were bored. We’d been scrolling through TikTok, watching videos of people giving themselves DIY haircuts. “I could totally do that,” I said, holding up a pair of scissors.

My friend laughed. “Prove it.”

What followed was a chaotic, hilarious adventure. I sectioned my hair, snipped away, and somehow ended up with a choppy, layered look that was… surprisingly good. My friend filmed the whole thing, and we posted it on TikTok as a joke.

The next morning, I woke up to thousands of notifications. The video had gone viral. People were commenting things like, “This is iconic” and “I want this haircut!”

I couldn’t believe it. What started as a midnight boredom cure turned into my 15 minutes of fame. And the best part? I actually loved my new haircut.
