That's hilarious. All she's doing is tangling that loose hair a bit. In a hour or so it'll be right back where it was at the beginning of the video. That method does absolutely nothing to clean up your roots for more than a few hours max.
it's just another method of root rubbing. Twisting your locks constantly like that will only help to pull out hairs from your scalp which thins out the roots and eventually cause more of those loose hairs.

comment on it cause ppl ned to nbe aware
