We’re at that point in self isolation where people are starting to make hasty decisions about their hair. In the case of Camila Cabello, that means asking your mom to cut your overgrown bangs.
When you’re a famous pop star, you then document the entire process for all of your fans, of course—which is exactly what Cabello did on her Instagram Stories. We appreciate that she acknowledged attempting to do this herself would be a very bad idea. “This is what it’s come to. The bangs are too long…can’t go outside,” she said in the video. “I’m going to have to trust this woman with my bangs because I can’t trust myself.” She says she chose poorly in middle school to terrible results: “In seventh grade, I used to cut my own bangs, and they looked like mountains.
“I’ve been seeing a lot of posts warning people not to do this, let’s see how it turns out. Right now, I look like Snape [from Harry Potter],” she said.
Enter her mom, Sinuhe Estrabao, to save the day. Cabello gave hilarious commentary throughout the process as her mom trimmed her wet hair. The initial results were “not great” according to the singer, since her mom didn’t follow her directions to angle her bangs to blend the longer ends with the rest of her hair near her temples. Instead, Cabello said, she just cut straight across her forehead. “She just horizontal-lined that shit,” she said, teasing her mom. “So, we’ll see how I look.”
Also, their lighthearted bickering will likely remind you of many a conversation with your own mom. And the final result? “It actually ended up looking not that bad,” Cabello said.
