"When my hairstylist said my hair is growing out unevenly because I keep claw clipping it the same way," she wrote over the top of the clip.
"What the f**k? Noooo!" a voiceover said.
"im not crying, ur crying," she added in the caption.
And people in the comments section couldn't wait to weigh in on her hair situation.
"*removes claw clips from cart*" one wrote.
"I thought I was safe with the clip," another sighed.
"They said if I had my hair clipped up it will be less damaged & grow longer…" someone else wrote.
"Was that a lie too?"

"Girl that’s what i thought!!!" the woman replied.
"She said to not clip it the same way each time."
"HUH NO I USE ONE EVERYDAY," another added.
As someone else wrote: "Omg I sleep on my right side the most and my hair is thinner on that side."
While another said: "I’m in hair school and genuinely have no idea how this makes sense.
"Claw clips can damage your hair but they can’t make one side grow less."
"Switch directions that you twist it every couple days," someone else suggested.
As another wrote: "i physically cannot twist it the other direction."
