Most of us have to pay for a salon head massage, but this Malaysian man? He gets his for free—from a wild langur.
A recent viral TikTok video (@saudagarlotong) captured an unexpectedly wholesome yet hilarious moment: a man casually chilling with a group of langurs near his home, when one of them, Baby, started going through his hair like it was on a mission.
“Baby, quick! Any lice?” the man joked, as Baby carefully parted through his hair like a professional stylist checking for split ends.
And if you think this primate service costs a fortune, think again—the man cheekily captioned the video: “Lice-picking service, payment in fruits.”
‘Baby’ loves searching for lice or grey hairs on my head
Of course, we had to reach out to the man himself, who prefers to go by Muslim, to get the inside scoop.
Turns out, this wasn’t some one-time monkey business—Baby has been doing this since it was young!
“Yes, Baby has done this before. Ever since it was little, it’s loved searching for lice or grey hairs on my head whenever I put my head in front of it,” he told WeirdKaya.
And apparently, this isn’t just a Baby thing—it’s a whole langur squad habit.
“Normally, after eating, they sit together in groups to ‘heal’—some pick lice from each other, some sleep, and the little ones play among themselves,” Muslim explained.
So basically, langurs have their own version of a self-care Sunday—eat, relax, and groom each other.
Langur life hacks: Teamwork & quirky habits
If you thought langurs just swung around aimlessly, think again—these guys know a thing or two about teamwork.
“I once recorded and posted a video where they wanted to eat lush leaves that were far away. So, one langur sat at the top and extended its tail while the others dangled from it to grab the leaves,” Muslim recalled.
Yes, you read that right—these langurs literally built a monkey ladder with their tails. If that’s not peak efficiency, we don’t know what is.
And like us on a hot day, they also have their own way of beating the heat.
“They love lying down on the cement floor or the stairs of my house, just closing their eyes. Maybe because it feels cool to them,” he said.
But here’s the best part—Baby isn’t the only one with a hidden talent.
“It’s not just Baby who does this. Even Ucop can be asked to find lice or grey hairs on my head,” Muslim revealed.
So basically, this man has multiple langurs offering free scalp treatments. Meanwhile, the rest of us are out here paying for overpriced salon visits.
