He said he has no idea why his six-year-old sibling decided to cut his hair that way, adding "he just likes fidget spinners".

Ryan's photo was then shared to Reddit where it quickly gained traction and hit the front page of the website.

Fidget spinners have become the must-have toy for children.

They were designed as stress-relieving tools, which have been used to help kids deal with ADHD and anxiety.

The propeller-shaped gadgets, which come in a variety of colours, have ball bearings which allow them to spin.

You simply hold it in between your fingers, flick it and watch it spin. Some versions even light up, and they are completely silent.

Kids can compete against each other to come up with the best tricks, or to keep their gadget spinning the longest.

However there have been calls for the toys to be banned.

Martin Daubney wrote for The Sun on how he’d banned the toy from his home and thrown his son’s “evil gadget” into a pond – accusing spinners of “turning our kids into morons”.

Furthermore, a 10-year-old girl from Texas was hospitalised after she accidentally swallowed a piece of her fidget spinner.

Kelly Rose Jonie was taken to hospital but doctors couldn’t tell whether the piece was in her airway or oesophagus so an ambulance rushed them to Texas Children’s Hospital near Houston.

An x-ray showed the piece of metal was in her oesophagus and it was removed through surgery.
