THE SELF-HAIRCUT CHALLENGE
A. WHAT IS THE CHALLENGE ALL ABOUT?
When Covid-19 happened, many establishments closed, and one of those who weren't spared were barbershops and hair salons. The time came when some shops opened, but they had to add "Covid surcharge" to the regular bill. This meant going to hair shops became more expensive than usual. So, people started to look for a solution to control their wildly grown locks but not necessarily spend too much. What is that solution? The DIY haircut!
Doing a self-haircut has become a go-to solution for those in desperate need of a trim. It became a challenge for some. There are video posts online showing people having a self-haircut challenge. They made it look simple and easy, but it's not actually a piece of cake once you're doing it yourself. However, it is fun to do and worth your time as you get to learn more about your preferred hairstyles. You get to learn a new skill, and the best takeaway, you save money.
OMIRO, a brand selling mirrors online, decided to run a challenge for those interested in doing a self-haircut. You won’t only get to try cutting your strands, but you will also get a chance to have a free Haircut Trifold Mirror from Omiro and win an awesome reward.
