Solution

A hairdresser helps us look at the back of our head by placing a mirror at the back. This happens due to multiple reflections between the mirror in front and the mirror at the back of our head.
The reflection of our hair falls onto the mirror at the back which the hairdresser holds and that reflection gets reflected into the mirror in front of us, and we are able to see this image.
