LONDON -- Be careful what you wish for.

When Sean Wrightson from Bradford, UK, took on the job of cutting his nephew's hair, he probably wasn't expecting the final result to get over 8000 shares on Facebook.

Then again, he probably wasn't expecting his nephew to ask for a haircut in the style of Wrightson's balding next door neighbour, either.

"Cut my nephew's hair and he told me he wanted it like my next door neighbour's who's bald on top and got a little bit of hair on sides," Wrightson wrote on Facebook. "So being the great uncle I am I give the kid what he wanted."

The post has had 27,000 reactions since it was uploaded less than a week ago.

Sadly, the little boy's new hairdo didn't last long.

From the looks of the comments, Wrightson did eventually even the whole thing out.

He'll always have the memories, though.
