Heartbroken mother wakes up to her own toddler's shocking haircut prank – what he used to 'fix' it will leave you speechless!

Parenting is a journey filled with unexpected twists and turns, and sometimes, those surprises come in the form of a toddler's innocent mischief. For one mother, this took an all-too-real turn when she woke up to a hair-raising situation that left her in tears. Sarah Kafaji experienced what could only be described as a mother's nightmare when she discovered her two-year-old son had taken a pair of scissors to her hair while she slept, and then attempted a DIY fix with superglue and mascara tubes.


The incident, which unfolded in the quiet hours of the night, saw the young boy sneak into his mother's room armed with scissors and glue. Sarah, who was deep in slumber, was none the wiser as her son began his impromptu haircut. It wasn't until she awoke that she realized the extent of the damage. Her locks were unevenly chopped, and to add to the distress, mascara tubes were glued into her hair, creating a mess that seemed beyond repair.

In a state of shock and disbelief, Sarah turned to TikTok to share her ordeal. Her emotional video, which showed her sobbing and struggling to come to terms with her new look, quickly went viral. 'I've literally been crying all f****** day. He cut my f****** hair so bad,' she lamented in the video. The distress was palpable as she continued, 'I'm literally going to have to cut off most of my hair. He cut all the sides of my hair off... I am literally spiralling. I am spiralling into a crisis. I'm not okay.'


The follow-up video shed light on how the toddler managed to carry out his nocturnal styling session. It seems the little one had woken up, silently made his way to his mother's room, and found the scissors and glue on her desk. Sarah, who usually wakes up when her son stirs in the night, heard nothing this time. It was a silent operation that left her with a tangled mess to sort out.

In the aftermath, Sarah sought remedies to salvage what was left of her hair. She tried olive oil and acetone to remove the glued-in beauty products and made an appointment with a salon in hopes of fixing the unintentional haircut. While some criticized her for sleeping through the incident, many sympathized and shared their own tales of parenting mishaps.

One user recounted how their boys managed to escape out a window and hide in a neighbor's garage in just three minutes. Another joked that toddlers are like 'tiny Houdinis,' capable of incredible feats when least expected. And one mother shared her own experience of sleeping through her daughter's artistic endeavour, which resulted in a face full of lip stain.


These stories serve as a reminder that parenting is unpredictable, and even the most vigilant can be caught off guard. It's a testament to the resilience and humor required to navigate the rollercoaster of raising children.

Sarah's experience is not an isolated one. In a similar vein, another toddler from the UK made headlines after giving himself a haircut with his dad's clippers. Otis Morgan, just two years old, managed to shave half his head before his mother, Faith, discovered the impromptu barber session.

In moments like these, parents often find themselves choosing between laughter and tears. Faith chose laughter, saying, 'I mean you either choose to laugh or cry in situations like that.'

Scissors? Superglue? How was this child able to access these dangerous items? They should have been locked away, out of reach! She's lucky that he didn't hurt himself. He could have put superglue on his eyelashes, pretending it's mascara. So many things could have happened - luckily it was only her hair!
