A video has captured the bizarre moment a woman started dying her hair on the London Underground – leaving fellow commuters baffled.
The brazen passenger was spotted on the Metropolitan line around 10am, calmly mixing bottles of dye and slipping on plastic gloves as if she were sitting at her own dressing table.
Fellow traveller Micaela Infante was on her way to a dance class in Finsbury Park when she noticed the woman opposite pulling out hair dye from a Boots shopping bag.
At first, the 24-year-old assumed it was prep for later – until the commuter began sectioning off her hair and lathering on the dye, using the train window as a makeshift mirror.
She posted the video to TikTok, where it has racked up a whopping 3.3million views.
“I saw the lady opposite me start to put plastic gloves on and mix the hair dye potions together,” Micaela told What’s The Jam.
“She then shook them like she was at a cocktail bar, and I assumed she was preparing herself for when she got home to apply it – then she started sectioning her hair off and proceeded to apply the dye.
“I was laughing and texted my friends saying, ‘You’ll never guess what is happening right now.’
“The woman applying the hair dye didn’t even flinch or seem like it was anything out of the ordinary that she was doing.”
Micaela said a businessman sitting next to the woman looked horrified before quickly moving seats, while other passengers barely batted an eyelid.
At one point, the woman even lost the cap to her bottle and got up to search for it, all while continuing her unusual beauty routine between Finchley Road and King’s Cross.
Micaela couldn’t resist capturing the bizarre scene on camera, sending videos and pictures to friends as it unfolded.
One TikTok user said: “This is so dangerous and so inconsiderate like the smell of ammonia alone is enough to make me wanna pass out.”
Another added: “But all those drips on the seat ruining other people’s clothes. I’d be fuming if I sat in hair dye.”
Another user said: “I have a theory that she works in a salon and was going to wash it off when she got to work.
One person said: “Like we are we wasting 20 minutes on the train when we can do so much?”
Micaela said she has seen her fair share of strange behaviour both on stage and on public transport – including a man in tap shoes breaking into a routine on the Tube – but the hair-dyeing spectacle is one she won’t forget anytime soon.
She added: “The weirdest thing, I find, is everyone normalising it where as I find it amusing.
“As a professional dancer, I’ve witnessed a lot of strange audience members and also a lot of funny bloopers, falls, and voice cracks live on stage, which is always a good laugh, especially as you have to stay professional in the moment.”
