Love Island's Paige Thorne breaks down in tears during meltdown over haircut

Paige Thorne has shared her "dramatic" reaction after a recent trip to the hair salon. The 2022 Love Island star took to her TikTok page to share a video titled "Lool a bit OTT," that saw her in floods of tears after deciding to have her extensions removed.

Many of us can relate to a haircut we're not too happy with or regret asking for, however, the paramedic from Swansea took meltdown to a whole new level after deciding to go for a more natural look.

The Welsh reality television star posted a video of her fresh locks on her TikTok account, and told her 3.7 million followers: "Took my tapes out yesterday at the hairdresser... immediate regret."

The clip then cut to a video of Paige in her car showing her new hair to the camera. Holding her locks up the 25-year-old can be seen in floods of tears as she asks: "What is that?"

She then puts her head in her hands and sobs before she can be heard saying between tears: "Oh my god, oh my god."

Paige continued: "She was like, 'Oh do you like it?' and I said no. Then she was like, 'It looks lovely,' and I was like, 'No it doesn't, I look like Lord Farquaad from f**king Shrek.'"

The video then cut to Paige a day after the haircut with a new, fresh perspective. Admitting her new look had grown on her, Paige smiled at the camera as she explained: "And now today I'm like oh it's kind of cute.

"It's still giving Lord Farquaad on some angles, but, I mean, it's not that bad. Is anybody else that dramatic after a hair cut or is it just me?"

Many of Paige's followers took to the comments section, with one writing: "It's giving toddlers and tiaras brat attack."

"I’m fully aware," Paige responded. "I've been like this my entire life when it comes to haircuts."

"Well I thought it looked lovely, but I have had some of these dramatic moments after a haircut, so get you," wrote another.

"No this is me I’m this dramatic after a haircut I can’t wait to get my long hair back," said a third, while a fourth commented: "That was a ridiculous reaction." For more showbiz and television stories get our newsletter here.
