The Cuban influencer Rachel Arderi shared a detailed account on her Instagram stories this Monday about a domestic accident she experienced the day before while organizing her home in Miami: a leaf blower caught her hair, got stuck to her head, and torn part of it out from the root.
As she explained herself, she was cleaning her dressing room with an outdoor blower that she decided to use inside the house due to her perfectionist nature. "I have a blower for outside; it doesn't have to be used inside the house, but I'm very particular, so I brought it inside," she admitted.
She had her hair up in a bun when the incident occurred. While she was polishing her shoes, the back of the device— which operates like a high-powered vacuum cleaner—caught her hair. "It sucks from the back and pulled some of my hair in, tearing it out from here. The device got stuck to my head," she described.
The accident could have been much worse. Her partner, the reggaeton artist Oniel Bebeshito, was in the vanity at that moment and reacted just in time. "Luckily, Oniel was here at the vanity and unplugged it because it would have taken all my hair," Rachel recounted.
The consequences were visible and immediate. The influencer, known among her nearly one million Instagram followers for her long and thick hair, described the results with concern: "It's not that I have a bald spot, but this part is completely fried. It smells terrible like burnt hair. My hair is all frizzy. The ends are ruined."
The contrast was particularly striking because days earlier she had posted a video in which her followers praised her hair. "In fact, I uploaded a video a few days ago and many complimented my hair," she recalled.
Rachel admitted to crying about what happened, although she tried to downplay it. "My love doesn't like it when I cry over silly things; what matters is that we're alive. I shed a lot of hair. I shed so much. I don't have the same volume. Horrible," she summarized.
Now she is considering visiting the hair salon to fix the damage. "Let’s see if I go to the hair salon so they can fix my hair. It's quite long, but if it's going to be damaged, I don’t want it long," she explained, although she clarified that cutting it isn't her favorite option: "It's not what I like the most if I have to cut it because I prefer it long, but I have to. I'd rather have it looking nice."
We recall that the young woman suffered a serious accident last year. In March 2025, Rachel Arderi was involved in a dramatic traffic accident on the Palmetto Expressway in Miami, near Hialeah Gardens, when a truck collided with her Mercedes G-Wagon — valued at around $182,000 and a gift from Bebeshito — which was declared a total loss after rolling over seven times. On that occasion, she was hospitalized for more than 20 hours and released with minor aches and scratches. In January of this year, Rachel publicly recalled that accident in an emotional video that touched her followers.
