Why it worked

The video uses a humorous and absurd premise (watering one's head to grow hair) combined with relatable elements like hair loss and the desire for a simple solution. The creator's self-deprecating humor and the visual gag of watering their head likely contributed to its shareability.

Summary

The creator is attempting to grow their hair back by watering their head daily, inspired by a childhood experiment with a potato. They acknowledge the absurdity but express hope it will work, contrasting it with the expense of a hair transplant.
