Iranian women took to TikTok this week to protest last week’s killing of 22-year-old Mahsa Amini by posting videos of themselves shaving their heads, cutting their hair and burning hijabs. In one video that sparked more than 7,000 comments, a woman wearing a hijab uses makeup to portray the brutality Tehran police used on Amini.
In another video that has amassed 930,000 views, a woman can be seen cutting up her black headscarf with a pair of scissors. The caption under the video says, "Today exactly two years ago I started wearing hijab, today I cut my hair for #mahsaamini." The woman explained that she did not want to cut her hair on camera for "religious reasons," but filmed herself cutting the headscarf "to spread the message."
