We trust our partners to really know us, right? They could identify us when blindfolded, even (maybe). But how do you feel about handing bae a pair of scissors and letting them dictate your hairstyle for the foreseeable future? These girlfriends let their boyfriends cut their hair for a new BuzzFeed video, and the nerves are borderline palpable.
In college, I let basically anyone of various levels of sobriety wrangle a pair of inexpert Fiskers and have at my hair. Among those, I asked my then-boyfriend to take an actual pair of clippers and give me a long-ish buzz cut before an extended trip to Southeast Asia. Listen, y'all — what I did wasn't brave. Thailand is very hot. Especially in July. I was just groping towards survival. And to be fair, he did a pretty decent job. Though, to be fair in another respect, I think you'd have to be fairly deliberate to do a poor job on someone's head with clippers. Those things are almost foolproof.

How did they fare? At least one wasn't so bad, but—
Oh, I forgot to mention. Both boys selected a celebrity style to model their creation off of. Pretty ambitious, for sure. Check out the entire adventure in hair world below:
