I wanted a snatched braided ponytail but it ended in total disaster – I’ve now got a massive bald patch

AS the old saying goes “pain is beauty and beauty is pain.”

And one woman, who posts under the handle @exteriorglam, proved this to be true after revealing how a tight, braided hairstyle left her with a massive bald patch.

The beauty fan took to and posted a video where she begins by showing a snap of her tightly braided hair, which falls to below her bottom.

Next, she shares a photo from the following morning when she was horrified to discover a massive bald spot.

“Wtf happened?” she asks.

She captioned the post: “I’m shook #braidedponytail #hairloss #baldspot.”

The video has since gone viral and racked up over 369,000 views – with many horrified by the hair disaster.

“That happened to me. Never again,” wrote one.

The TikToker replied: “Literally same! Never doing this hairstyle.”

A second penned: “I really want to do this ponytail – looks so pretty, now I’m scared.”

A third commented: “Oh absolutely not.

“I got this done and I had to take it out the second I got home my hair felt like it was ripping off my head.”

The social media user responded: “I was in soooo much pain that night.

“Wish I took it out.”

Meanwhile, a fourth quipped: “Yowwww this has me weAkkk.”

Another advised: “Braid the hair into your natural hair. Will prevent this happening for next time.”

And one more added: “Omg…I had this happen and had no idea where it came from…makes sense now.”
