IT'S a situation that many parents can relate to. But that didn't make things any easier for mum-of-22 Sue Radford's daughter Chloe, when she discovered her two-year-old little girl Mila had given herself a DIY haircut. 5 5 5 5 The mum-of-two admitted she was left sobbing when she discovered what her daughter had done. "My two-year-old wants to show you the haircut she's given herself and you'd better say something nice," Chloe began, with the TikTok video following the format of a current viral trend. She then introduced Mila onto the screen, as she said: "Wow, gorgeous. "Are you pleased with yourself?" The little girl showed that she'd taken the scissors to the front of her hair, with Chloe captioning the video: "Honestly if I don't laugh I'll cry!" "Oh gosh Mila," Chloe's mum Sue commented on the video. "Must admit I did a proper open gasp when you sent me the picture this morning. "I think she's actually proud of herself! "She's just getting herself ready for her birthday in a few weeks!" "Why do they always have to take it to the scalp though?!" another added.

"I can't believe how much she's cut!! So upset I cried loads!" "Oh Mila," someone else wrote. "I'd definitely cry so well done Chloe!" "No I did cry when I first saw it, can't lie haha," Chloe replied. Hair re-growth FAQs Anabel Kingsley, Consultant Trichologist and Brand President at Philip Kingsley spoke exclusively to Fabulous. How long does it take for hair to grow back? Hair grows, on average, half an inch a month. You cannot speed this up. Do rosemary oil and scalp massages work? Oils do not promote hair growth. In terms of rosemary oil, the current trend stems from one small study carried out on 50 men in 2015. No women were involved, and the study compared the effects of 2 per cent minoxidil to Rosemary oil. 2 per cent minoxidil doesn't do much for male pattern hair loss anyway, so the results were not very impressive. Oils do serve a purpose in conditioning hair treatments though. They help add shine and smooth the hair cuticle to lock-in moisture and improve combability. Scalp massages alone won't cure hair loss, but it can help relax you, aid in lymphatic drainage, exfoliate and help topicals penetrate. Are there any products or foods/vitamins you recommend someone using or eating to help with hair regrowth? To support healthy hair regrowth, if you are experiencing hair thinning we'd recommend our Density Preserving Scalp Drops clinically proven to help slow hair loss with continued daily use within three months. Telogen effluvium (hair shedding) due to nutritional deficiencies can often be simply treated with changes to your diet, and nutritional supplements such as our specially formulated Density Healthy Hair Complex and Density Amino Acid Booster. Iron and Ferritin (stored iron) in red meat, dried apricots and dark, leafy greens. Vitamin B12 in animal products and fortified plant-based foods. Protein from oily fish, lean meat, cottage cheese, tofu, nuts, chickpeas, and beans. However, there may be an underlying cause for their hair loss and rather than this being masked by using an off-the-shelf product, they should be encouraged to seek the advice of a specialist such as a Trichologist. Other people in the comments took aim at Chloe for even allowing Mila anywhere near some scissors. "My point would be how she got scissors to be alone," one wrote. To which someone else replied; "Either you aren't a parent... Or you're in denial about things self professed perfect humans believe children shouldn't do just to belittle parents. "One of my kids shaved her eyebrow once. "Yes I felt guilty she got hold of my razor... But I'm glad I'm not judgemental like you!" "Came here for the comments blaming you for not watching her or allowing her access to scissors," another responded. "It'll grow before you know it! And it's a rite of passage like a Sudocremed child!" However, there were some who used the comments section to admit they'd found themselves in similar situations with their kids when they were little. "I did this to my hair when I was about 7... I wore a headband for months til it grew out again!" one wrote. "Bless her, we've all experienced that," another laughed. "Luckily she can have a side parting with a pretty hairslide to keep it in place." "My daughter cut the entire right side of her hair off," a third admitted. "I was hysterically crying. "She's 19 now and it grew back lovely - the joy of kids!" 5

Teen dies after viral TikTok challenge; what is 'dusting' and how it causes sudden sniffing death
If you have a child who spends a considerable amount of time online, they may have heard of a new trend that is making the rounds — dusting. 'Dusting' is a viral trend in which individuals inhale cleaning spray for a brief moment of intoxication. Some trends often go viral, with many unassuming children jumping on the bandwagon in an attempt to gain popularity. Earlier, trends like the ' Blue Whale Challenge ' also went viral, which led to many children causing harm to themselves. This week, Renna O'Rourke, a 19-year-old living in the United States, succumbed to sudden sniffing death syndrome after she participated in the challenge. She ordered a computer cleaning spray to her home and inhaled its contents. After battling for four days in the ICU, she passed away — never having regained consciousness. Speaking to local media, her parents are now trying to raise awareness of such dangerous challenges that young people often participate in. Her father, while speaking to 12 News, said that she often said 'I'm gonna be famous, Dad'. "Unfortunately, this is not under the most optimal of circumstances," he added. Her parents have urged other parents to keep an eye on their children's online activities. They have even asked other guardians to be mindful of the things children keep in their room and have access to. What is sudden sniffing death syndrome? Sudden sniffing death syndrome occurs when a fatal cardiac event takes place after inhaling some substances, often inhalants. Inhalants are chemical vapours found in common household products like glue, paint thinners, cleaning fluids, and even some types of gas. Sometimes, when a person inhales such substances, they can experience various effects which includes heart arrhythmia (irregular heartbeat), that can cause sudden cardiac arrest.

Brazil's life-like doll craze goes viral as online videos spark political reaction
A hyper-realistic reborn baby doll lies in an incubator for sale at a store in Campinas, Brazil Saturday, May 24, 2025. (AP Photo/Andre Penner) SAO PAULO — Videos featuring emotional moments with hyper-realistic baby dolls have gone viral in Brazil, sparking both fascination and controversy. Influencers have staged situations such as birth simulations and strolls in shopping malls with the hand-crafted baby figures, known as 'reborn' dolls, in a trend that has even prompted political reactions. In Rio de Janeiro, the city council has passed a bill honoring those who make the life-like dolls, pending Mayor Eduardo Paes' signature. Meanwhile, legislators elsewhere across the country have debated fines for those seeking medical help for such dolls, following a viral video allegedly showing a woman taking one to a hospital. Lawmakers have even brought the dolls into legislative chambers. On Tuesday, Joao Luiz, a state lawmaker from Amazonas, appeared with a doll at the State House to announce plans to ban reborn dolls from receiving care in the state's public health system. However, local media reported that health authorities had never recorded any such cases. Last week, congresswoman Talíria Petrone criticized the attention her colleagues were giving to the issue. 'Can we focus on what really matters? If someone wants to have a doll, let them. I have two real children and they're more than enough work,' she said. Dozens of 'reborn mothers' gathered at Villa Lobos Park, in Sao Paulo, on Saturday for a 10th annual meet-up. Participants say criticism should be aimed at attention-seeking influencers, not the broader community. The hyper-realistic baby dolls are often used for grief therapy or parenting practice. Berenice Maria, a nursing assistant and longtime collector who owns eight dolls, says they offer emotional comfort. 'I love reborns, despite the hate we see out there,' she said. 'I want the right to go out with them … go to the mall, go to the park.' Daniela Baccan, co-owner of a reborn doll shop in Campinas, Sao Paulo, said dolls sell from 700 reais (US$124) to nearly 10,000 reais (nearly $1,800). With the rising controversy, safety concerns are increasing. 'We're locking up the store more, adding cameras,' Baccan said. 'But at the same time, online demand has increased, and the store is seeing a much higher flow of people.'
