A video of a hairdresser creating a "a new trend in the making" has racked up more than seven million views from stunned Facebook users drawn in by the hypnotic slicing of the scissor blades.

It makes painful viewing for anyone who cringes in fear as they watch locks of their hair fall to the floor after their stylist promised to take off "just an inch".

But 38,000 commenters were quick to disagree: "I think I can safely speak on behalf of the nation by saying that this is most definitely not going to be a trend. I have no other words," wrote one.

And it seems the model agreed, as it wasn't long before she had the cut "removed".
