Mathematical set ends up in barber shop

We are used to the usual way of going to the barber and getting a haircut with just the hair clipper machine.

We never really believed our teachers when they said you will need maths everywhere you go.

Mathematical sets are used in a section of the maths curriculum and we never thought we would buy them again after school, but we got that wrong. Barbers are now using them to give you a perfect haircut.

A barber has a video of him trending after he used a protractor and ruler to measure the man’s head as he was giving him a haircut.

Tiktokers were left in awe and questioning why has barbering become so complicated that mathematical rules are being used just for a haircut which was never complicated before.

Many social media users were so stunned by the video on the TikTok that they went to comment on the page.

“When you’re mathematician but things go bad and open a barber ? for survival” wrote @Vendetta 86.

“Why am I seeing this all the time, is that a new strategy?,” wrote @Mashhud.

“I think this is c= the square root of a2+b2 haircut, nice, I had the triangle haircut,” wrote @omtikker.

“When you have a degree in mathematics and ended up in a barbering shop, ” wrote @blackmarvelous.
