A TikTok video featuring a so-called "Geometric Barber" has taken the internet by storm, eliciting a mix of awe and amusement from viewers. The viral clip showcases a barber meticulously crafting a "BBL hairline" and a "BBL beard" using various geometric tools and seemingly complex mathematical equations. The video, which has been shared widely on platforms like Reddit, has garnered a slew of entertaining reactions.

In the video, the barber can be seen drawing precise lines and symbols on a client's forehead and beard area, all while using a ruler and compass. The meticulous process, however, quickly devolves into what many viewers have dubbed "nonsensical performative mathematics." One user humorously referred to the barber as a "trigonometral barber," while another pointed out that the math equations like "π/360 = 40xπ(r^2 ) = 7x7" don't make any sense.

Despite the apparent absurdity, the barber's unique technique has sparked a flurry of comments. "Even free hands his semi-circle without using a protractor like whattttttt id slice my barber," one viewer exclaimed. Another quipped, "I mean I get the angles and such but suddenly doing equations on that dude's face got me. Lol."

Interestingly, some viewers noted the use of a construction helmet during the process, adding another layer of intrigue and humor to the video. "And no one is going to mention the construction helmet?" one commenter asked, highlighting the bizarre yet fascinating elements of the video.

The video also sparked debates about the practicality and effectiveness of the barber's methods. "Draws lines with ruler, uses a compass to draw a bunch of made-up intersections that don't get used in any way but hand draws the only segment he intends to follow," one user observed. "Proceeds to write nonsensical performative mathematics all over the dude's face. Traces his hand-drawn curve with a razor, ignoring anything created with precision tools and erases literally every piece of math, none of which was used in any way."

Despite the skepticism, some viewers defended the barber's approach. "If it looks good I ain't complaining," one user stated, while another remarked, "Man, I wish I had that head of hair."

The video has even inspired some clever wordplay and puns. "That's an acute haircut," one commenter joked, while another added, "The math major when Plan A fails: 'Bro I can bring scratch paper next time.'"

In the end, whether viewers were baffled, amused, or impressed, the Geometric Barber's viral video has undoubtedly left a lasting impression. As one user succinctly put it, "It worked."

That’s actually a trigonometral barber.

I'm pretty sure that the random math is just nonsense. ~~π~~/360 = 40xπ(r^2 ) = 7x7 is the best I could make out and just makes no sense

Yea absolutely no math being done here. Even free hands his semi circle without using protractor like whattttttt id slice my barber

I mean I get the angles and such but suddenly doing equations on that dudes face got me. Lol

And no one is going to mention the construction helmet?

0.54 to 0.40 is relevant. The rest afterwards was just tiktok bs

Draws lines with ruler, uses a compass to draw a bunch of made up intersections that dont get used in any way but hand draws the only segment he intends to follow. Proceeds to write nonsensical performative mathematics all over the dude's face. Traces his hand drawn curve with a razor, ignoring anything created with precision tools and erases literally every piece of math, none of which was used in any way. Charges double and posts to tik tok.
