A young hairstylist is making waves online—not in a salon, but at home. An 11-year-old boy from Zhuzhou, Hunan Province, has captivated Chinese social media with his remarkable talent for braiding his 3-year-old sister’s hair. Known by his surname, Huang, the boy has created over 300 unique hairstyles in just one year, showcasing his skills in viral videos shared by their mother.
The heartwarming clips reveal the brother’s meticulous process: he gently wets the hair with a watering can to make braiding easier, often holding a comb in his mouth like a professional stylist. His designs range from playful patterns like butterflies and ox horns to intricate shapes such as a compass and even a crown. Meanwhile, his sister, usually sipping milk during the sessions, seems delighted by her brother’s “service.” After each braid, the boy kisses her affectionately, and they strike victory signs together.
Their mother, who has been documenting these moments, shared with reporters, “My son has a real gift for DIY. He started braiding her hair when she was just one year old—he absolutely loves it.” She added with a laugh, “He’s so skilled that I’ve basically given up trying to braid my daughter’s hair myself.”
What sets the boy apart is his speed and creativity. He can complete a hairstyle in under 20 minutes, earning admiration from netizens. His videos have amassed 15 million views on Weibo, with users praising his natural talent and artistic flair. One commenter wrote, “This kid is a born stylist—his sense of beauty and imagination is incredible!” Another joked, “As a mom, I feel like I’m outdone by an 11-year-old.”
The story of this sibling duo has melted hearts online, inspiring many with the boy’s dedication and the bond they share through hairstyling.
