Styling hair with an open flame is the latest trend in Russia.
We've told you about salons that offer
neck massages from a python and
hairstyling with an axe, but this craze is probably the most outlandish of them all. Styling hair with the help of an open flame is the latest fad that's taking over Russia (and social media) and it's going viral. A video shared by
CCTV+ shows Alexander Menshikov, a hairstylist who says he invented this technique, using an open flame to style a client's hair. "It's not merely styling hair with a flame. It's a process of creation. I'm a sculptor and fire is used to cut the unnecessary hairs," says Mr Menshikov.
Mr Menshikov adds that the technique is safe as the client's hair is never on fire for more than 2 seconds.
