Right. That's why his hand movements look strange when he "applies the hair." The movement is not quite the same...like walking backwards and playing it forward...the flow is all wrong, just not as obvious as someone jumping from the water onto the diving board.
He started off with the hair you see in the beginning and he cut/shaved off one piece at a time but after cutting it, holding it to create the illusion. It is essentially seen backwards.
They used photos, not video, to create the illusion.
This video is great! I really liked the creativity. Towards the end, it slowed down a lot. I think it slowed down a little. That was better because it gave time to see the what was happening with the hair. Nice video! How long did it take you to make it?
ha ha that is so cool using the same technique as Charley Chaplin in that movie with the bricks in that you played things in reverse to make something look really cool. Brilliant
He looks better without it.

Pretty clever.
He grew his hair long, shaved it off in clumps, recorded himself removing clumps of hair with his hands and then played the video backwards.
