MUMBAI: A barber has abandoned his scissors for a unique hair-cutting technique which is steadily gaining in popularity -- burning the hair off with a candle.

Hair stylist Aqueel Kiratpuri, 44, boasts Bollywood actors and actresses among the customers for his so-called "club cutting" technique.

Kiratpuri said in Mumbai that he shortens the hair by burning it off with a candle. "We then give an angle and direction to the hair and mould it in the direction demanded by the customer according to the latest trend," he said.

Many of his customers now swear by the technique.

"Initially I was a bit afraid of getting my hair styled in this way, but I must say there isn't anything to be afraid of," said Imtiaz, an elated customer.

The one-hour operation has another advantage over conventional haircuts -- there is no mess to brush up afterwards as the hair is simply burned away.
