A woman from China has spectacularly failed at the 'corn drill

A woman will spend years regrowing a tuft of hair on the front of her head after partaking in an unusual new internet challenge that sees people eat corn from a rotating power drill.

An eye-watering video emerged on Sunday of a unidentified woman's failed attempt at the 'corn drill challenge' which shows the excruciating moment a lock of her hair is caught in the power tool and ripped from her scalp.

The shocked woman doesn't appear to make a sound as she reaches up to feel the large bald patch on her head as the long strands of her dark hair still rotate on the drill in front of her.

Leaning in for a closer inspection, the permanency of what should have been a ten second grab for internet fame appears to weigh on the young woman's mind.

A second video, detailing a visit to the doctors shortly after the incident, shows a man spraying an unknown liquid on her exposed scalp before gently dabbing it with a tissue.

According to Live Leaks, the woman was told her hair would grow back normally, but it would be a painstakingly long process.

The risky manoeuvre was made popular by a vlogger dubbed Eater Yang, whose initial attempt of eating a cob of rapidly rotating corn in under ten seconds has been viewed millions of times across the globe.

Facing the camera, Eater Yang slowly pulls the cob across his teeth and as he does so, bits of corn go flying in every direction.

Within seconds, the cob has been completely stripped of the small yellow kernels.

Social media users criticised the challenge, labelling it 'completely unsafe', however most seemed to be concerned the rotating drill would damage the competitive eater's teeth, not tear out his hair.
