Barber moves cancer patient to tears after shaving off his own hair in support
A barber brought people to tears after he shaved off his own hair in solidarity with a man with cancer. Neftali Martín, who suffered hair loss as a side effect of chemotherapy to treat his lymphoma cancer, had gone to get his hair shaved by his pal Joel Ortega González.

Clearly overwhelmed by the gesture, Neftali starts welling up. The clip was uploaded by Neftali on TikTok, where he's known as @neftabarber - and has since racked up more than 9.4 million views.
