In a video that has garnered over a million views so far, @hope.bailey27 (Hope Bailey) is rushing toward a stranger on the street after catching his attention. As soon as he notices her, the man states that he has a girlfriend, but Bailey continues speaking and asks if he has some time while she takes out her hair rollers. While handing him her phone, she tries to comfort him, telling him she’s a lesbian and not looking at him “like that,” which makes him laugh instantly.

Bailey stopped a guy to film her taking out her hair rollers

After Bailey hands her phone to the man and begins to remove the first roller, she asks him if he has time for her to do it, to which he replies, “no, actually” and says he needs to go to the gym. However, Bailey continues what she’s doing and says it will only take a few seconds to finish, and he agrees. 

Speaking of hair, this Canadian woman went all guns ablazing on her Dyson Airwrap and then offered a $40 solution.

The video then cuts to Bailey and the man sharing a light-hearted moment, where it seems he had stopped recording at some point, and Bailey tells him he can’t stop filming. A few seconds later, the guy asks Bailey if she’s going somewhere, and she says she isn’t and that things like taking rollers out of her hair are normal for her. The guy then mentions he hasn’t seen anyone with hair rollers before, and Bailey asks if he knows what they’re for. When he says no, she explains that they set curls in the hair, but since it’s very hot that day, she’s taking them out. 

After removing some rollers, Bailey turns around and asks if they’ve all come out, and he says no, she missed a few. Bailey and the man keep talking, and at one point, Bailey asks if his girlfriend uses hair rollers. He says no, she straightens her hair, and prefers girls with straight hair. Bailey then says, “I prefer girls also,” and they part ways.

A brief history of hair rollers/curlers

An article published by McQueen Hair and Beauty on May 3, 2020, provides a brief history of hair rollers and curlers, dating back thousands of years.

The source highlights that ancient Egyptians used wooden sticks and the heat of the sun to curl their hair or maintain their curls. The ancient Greeks, on the other hand, used hollow metal rods heated in ash. Variations of these curlers and rollers were used for many years until 1930, when Solomon Harper invented the first rollers that did not require external heat. Not long after this discovery, plastic rollers appeared, with actresses in Hollywood, including Marilyn Monroe, playing a significant role in popularizing them.
