Would-be soap opera character Tori Locklear is a YouTube tutorialist — that’s gonna look good on a college application — whose advice should come with a giant DO NOT LISTEN TO THIS PERSON YOU MAY DIE IF YOU TAKE HER ADVICE, OR AT LEAST BURN YOUR HAIR OFF warning. To quote Opposing Views, because I know as much about hair styling as I do why someone would even want to record a how-to video:
Tori Locklear wanted lots of hits on her YouTube video tutorial, showing how to curl hair with a curling iron, and she’s getting them alright. Because she burned her hair OFF. I have been curling my hair for about 30 damn years and I have never had a section of my hair burn off like this. Either she had VERY over processed hair (it doesn’t appear that way though) or that curling iron is literally from hell. (Via)
Yeah, no, I think the Hell option is pretty spot-on.

I love it when teenaged girls teach the world. Such a vast repository of wisdom and experience.
Same thing happened to me. Burned off my payot and THAT’S why I’m no longer a Hasidic Jew.
*shivers* ICK. When I was 7, I used my mom’s 90′s heat brush to try to curl my hair like Sandy from Grease. Since I didn’t know what I was doing, I just grabbed a huge chunk of hair at the top front of my head and when it got so entangled in this unfamiliar contraption I was using, the only solution was to just cut off that huge chunk of hair. At least it didn’t completely burn off. Still looked stupid, though, I’m sure.
That look on her face at around 1:40 is a pretty clear indicator that she just realized she fucked up, and sees what she’s done, and has no intention of admitting to it.
I have a wife and daughters and a sister in law and a girlfriend from years ago and a sister who all curl their hair, and I was watching her with the curling iron thinking “I don’t think you’re supposed to hold it that tight for that long.”
I think she had the curling iron on higher than she thought she did, like she turned it on high to warm it up faster then forgot to turn it down before she used it.
My favorite part is that she doesn’t turn the camera off as soon as she burns her hair off. She just leaves it on, letting the whole world watch her react to her dumb mistake.
The dumbest thing was that she did this, then hit “post to Youtube.”
Kids are dumb. Parents, make sure your kids know how dumb they are so they don’t go around trying to teach people shit they clearly don’t understand themselves.
