In a world where beauty blunders are often kept behind closed doors, one brave New York woman has taken to social media to share her disastrous hairdo experience.

After spending a whopping $400 USD ($600 AUD) on a blowout, she ended up with a hairstyle that had viewers jokingly comparing her to historical figures like the ill-fated French Queen Marie Antoinette and former US President George Washington.

Leigha Antonia recently documented her sister's hair mishap in a now-viral video.

The overlaid text read, 'My sister getting her hair done for $400 in preparation for our Europe trip.'

The video was meant to showcase their holiday beauty prep, which quickly turned into a comedy of errors.

The video showed Leigha's sister unveiling her new hairstyle, which was supposed to be a set of elegant pin curls—a vintage hairstyle popular in the 1940s and 50s.

To achieve this hairstyle, the stylist uses a curling iron to create the curl, then rolls the hair around their finger to maintain the shape. The curl is then pinned close to the scalp with two bobby pins crossed.

Once the hair is completely set, the locks can be unpinned and let down.

However, the result was far from the glamorous waves one might expect.

Instead, the curls looked tight, messy, and completely dishevelled.

Each curl also looked different.

To add to the hilarity, their grandmother can be seen in the background of the video, howling with laughter at the disastrous results.

The video quickly became popular, and viewers expressed their shock at the outdated pin curls and questioned why she would spend so much money on the hairstyle.

One popular comment read, '$400 for a wash, blow dry and curl is nuts.'

'I knew the second I [saw] the curls pinned upwards,' one pointed out.

'If they're pinned up it makes the curls start by flipping up if that makes sense. If it's pinned down, they'll fall like normal curls,' one explained.

Another beauty guru said: 'Kinda like when you curl the front piece of your hair the wrong direction so it looks real odd flipping into your face.'

Others were more concerned about the timing of the hairstyle, pointing out that she was about to embark on a long plane ride, which would likely ruin the curls.

One user loved their grandmother’s reaction, saying: 'Granny just got $400 worth of comedy.'

Despite the backlash, Leigha's sister took the criticism in stride.

In a follow-up video, she urged people to 'empower women,' and labelled her trolls 'mean.'
