A hairdresser in Holland, Kadir Demirel who runs Kapsalon Istanbul, a saloon, has a unique way of treating his customers’ hair problems. Instead of cutting it with scissors and clippers in the more traditional method Kadir employs a flammable liquid which he sprays on his clients’ hair before setting it alight.

The 39-year-old businessman said, “I learnt this technique during my barber training in Turkey.
“Traditionally, it was used as a way of burning away lice when there was no cure and it was also used to style and smoothen hair, as there were no hair dryers at the time.
“I use it to tame frizzy hair and burn away dead ends. Healthy hair isn’t damaged by this technique.
“It can also be used to remove static hair after a cut, but I wouldn’t recommend anyone trying it without proper training.
“My customers aren’t scared because they trust me and it’s not painful. I have one customer who is just seven years old and another who is eight.
“I enjoy my work because it’s so different. I also like to teach other barbers how to use this technique.”
