My brothers are in that position, they haven't showered in 5 weeks and I can't stand their stink but I don't know how to get them to take care of themselves. Nothing I say helps
@@stariehearts2366 My sister is this way, she doesn't comb her hair anymore. I really don't know how often she bathes. It's hard for me to understand because she wasn't always like this.
@@rbean258 I feel for the both of you. But I think eventually you gotta take care of yourself, especially if you live with others and its effecting them. That's why mum threatened to kick my brothers out if they don't shower soon bc their stink doesn't just effect them and they need to think of us bc we're living in this house too
As a person who suffers from severe depression. I am currently detangling my own hair after not washing my hair for months. Watching this and realizing I’m not the only one, brought me to tears. Thank you for this and for your light.
this is the part of depression that no one talks about, it's not all crying in your room while it rains outside, a lot of it is not having the energy to shower, brush their teeth, brush their hair, not being able to ear, not taking care of yourself, that's the part we need to talk about more and normalise helping people who are going through things like this. her hair is wonderful and i'm so happy for her that she decided to get help and i hope she's doing better now, and i hope she knows she's wonderful
1. You are so, so right. Thank you. 2. You don't need my validation, but I want to compliment your compassion and empathy. You are a beautiful soul. 3. I absolutely adore your avatar. No Face FTW. I wish you all the best, lots of love and a long and happy life. 🖤🖤🖤
Yes!! It def needs to be talked about more because when a person is in the throws of this they normally don't even understand that it is depression because they are not crying in their room.
I never even realized I was going through depression until I talked to my friends and explained I hadn’t combed my hair from July 2020 until December 2020. It was so embarrassing that not only had I let my hair get that way but also everything else in my life. One day I just woke up and cleaned my apartment top to bottom and just combed my hair out. It was tough, I was no where near this gentle but after hours and hours I finally got it done. Just made me realize that I have to take time for myself.
Wow, great job! One thing that got 'forced' on me when I was grieving, was my husband would make me shower every night. And I washed my hair every second night. I WOULD have died slowly in my bed. I make myself shower everyday, regardless. That way I know that part of me is moving forward.
Depression is a dangerous thing. It's just sneaks up on you without you knowing what's going on. Speaking about what you're going through is such a prime example of why it's so important not to cut yourself off from the outside world if you're able. Words are such a powerful tool.
I remember not long after I had my son, my husband got in the shower with me and washed my hair. I burst out in tears and wept. He kept asking me why I was thanking him for washing my hair. But I told him I think I was experiencing postpartum (didn't have it with my first child) and after he washed my hair he set me an appointment to make sure I was ok. It was just a moment of our marriage that made me love him so much more. People go through so much and life keeps going. Thank you for being so kind. Anybody can become depressed, anybody can become overwhelmed with their hair, anybody can give up on life. But people like you make this world so beautiful, you see folks at their worst and still view all the best of them. Bless you 💚
This is a beautiful story I too cried when my husband washed my hair and took care of me after I lost our pregnancy. Depression is real. Love is the key to unlocking the darkness. I’m glad your husband took care of you he is an amazing man. Keep loving each other beautiful. 💕
Depression causes us to not have the desire to take care of ourselves. It happens to many, many people. It took courage for that woman to walk in to the salon and get her hair addressed.
Update: we got it all out on Wednesday!!!! I’m showing this video to one of my patients. She doesn’t believe I’ll get all of her hair untangled. Her whole head was matted and I vowed to her it could be done. I’ve been working on it for 4 days now but for about an hour each time but I’m almost done!!
I just want to say thank you for having patience, understanding, strength and kindness I wish I had someone like that back then my hair got cut off ugly... Anyways we truly need more ppl like u in this cold world thank you for being beacon of light!
Thank you for giving her hope. Things like this can overwhelm us in our mind. Add the shame we give to ourselves, and we can completely isolate ourselves. I don't have this type of hair, but I do have medical issues that effect how I look and feel about myself. I related so much to this woman hiding her face behind a mask. I just want to give her a hug ❤ Thank you for giving her hope again, and not making her feel embarrassed. You get a hug too!!
Absolutely, we don't need to expose her face OR her backstory online. That would not be helpful to her since the internet can be a cruel place and you'd have to be in a good spot mentally to be able to deal with putting vulnerable stuff like this out there unfortunately.
Dont put yourself down for not being able to keep up with your daughters hair. you have a good reason and its not a reflection on you as a parent, the fact it upset you shows you shows how much you care. I hope your shoulder gets better:) Lots of love to you and your family x
I sincerely hope that you see this. I had to come back to this video and tell you how much of a blessing you are. My 17 year old daughter’s hair was matted. We experienced a death of a closed love one and she watched her pass. So her and I both fell into a deep depression. Then covid hit. So her hair and mine were both matted for a year. I cut mine, but did not want her to lose her hair. I started watching your videos and used ur method. With God, and your guidance in your videos I was able to detangle and keep her length! It took me two days and her hair is down to her butt. I wanted to thank you so much for your videos. I wouldn’t have known how to start or that it was even possible without this video. I also wanted to add that I took her to a stylist that she’s been too a few times, and she was so judgemental that I decided to do it myself.
A stylist who is judgemental is not only a poor person but also unprofessional and self-damaging since her job depends on people wanting to come to her business
@@sexicoco86 yes! I filled my sink up with apple cider vinegar and warm water. I submerged her hair in it, and just kept massaging it in and trying to rinse out any built up product. Then I took a metal tailed comb and started using the end to pull apart the ends. You’ll be able to look and see openings where you can take the end of the comb to further separate it. When you start to see more product, rinse the sink out, make a new mixture, and repeat
@@lipglossz1 Thank you! I will try that. It's one big matted bun with no loose ends. I'm having trouble finding a starting point and school starts in 3 days 😭.
Your channel and detangling videos got me through detangling my daughter’s hair after it matted up. Sadly my depression transferred to her and me not having the strength to take care of her hair. Thank you for your inspiring words.
Omg me too. But my baby is 3. I don't know what to do. She's tender headed. I literally don't have it in me. She screams everytime I touch it and there's just a big lump of matted hair in the back of her head. What on Earth do I do?
I have asked for help with my daughter’s hair (3C) who is on the autism spectrum. She struggles with sensory issues. I have been given so much hell by braiders and stylists. Thank you for your kindness.
No clue how I ended up watching your videos but just wanted to say: You are so kind. I enjoyed that video and your other videos. Your positive attitude is a blessing in this world. Thank you for everything that you do.
You're a literal angel on earth. Most salons won't even do this service and if they do they charge alot because of how long it takes. I'm so impressed, you were meant to do this. ❤
I put twists in my son’s hair last March. He’s a busy college student. I told him I’d redo it in 3 wks. It’s April, and he’s just now letting me do it. It’s a hot hot mess. The twists are all dreaded and twisted altogether. I know how to get all undone because of your videos. I got the back part done. We’re just spending a few hours a day. I’m just happy he trusts me, and I’m enjoying the process. Thank you.❤️
This is me with my own hair. I just crashed and burned trying to work 2 jobs and becoming a student again after 20 years, trying to find that balance. It was w bit much and I crashed and burned. I just need to tackle my hair and take my time. Glad I ran across her channel a couple months ago.
Hadassa, these transformations you do for people are life changing. One would not think that a 60 year old bald dude would be interested in this....but here I am! You are so kind and talented. No wonder people from all over come see you. Bless you!
You did an amazing job on her hair. And I'm so glad you brought this issue up publicly. My teen daughter has SEVERE OCD and her hair mats up nearly this bad every few days and she cannot deal with it. So I dematt her hair... Someone times it takes 1 hour, sometimes 3 hours. She is caucasian, with hip length hair. At first I felt bad and thought we were the only people out there going through this, but I see now a lot of people go through this. It takes the shame away and reminds us that we all are human and very much alike. 🙂
Love from BK NY! I’m a hairstylist and I love helping people achieve their hair goals and pull off different styles. You’ve inspired me to look into learning how to detangle hair that’s been matted so I can add this as a service for my clients. 🙏🏼🙏🏼
Hi Michelle, I’m in BK, NY and really need help with this. Would you be interested in taking a look at my hair? I would truly appreciate it. How can I best reach you?
Ppl don’t understand it because they have never been through things. As the elders say, keep on living. Don’t ever think it can’t be your story. I’m glad she’s in a better place. You had her hair looking amazing!
I'm in tears because this happened to me twice. 1 from me breaking my hand and second with depression after covid. I immediately knew what was going on here. We need more awareness like this and definitely more stylist like you.
Life can hit you for a loop. I fell apart for a couple years after my parents died. I was blessed that my hubby helped me survive. Thank you for your love qnd kindness
I hope your client reads this comment. Sweetie, you have absolutely gorgeous hair! I am so happy that you reached out for the help you needed and I pray this was life-changing for you. You are very brave.
You're so sweet and kind hearted. One time I was so sick and just slept most of the time for 2 weeks., my hair got so matted I couldn't brush it. I just had to cut it. I wish I had someone like you to help, especially without the judgement. Thank you for what you do. God bless you. ❤💯
I love how you explain this. No one ever expects, wants or plans to hit this sort of bump in the road. I went through a mental break a few years ago and it took every ounce of my being just to get out of bed and shower in the morning. You are an angel for helping these women and I can guarantee that you have no idea how good they feel leaving your shop. When you’re in that dark place and another human shows you kindness, it is never forgotten. Love you for doing this.
Bless you for being so patient and non judgmental. I went through this after being hospitalized for 5 weeks and unable to wash my hair. It took me nearly 3 days but it was the best feeling ever after it was done. You are truly a beautiful human 💚
You are amazing. My hair has been this bad before. And I was ashamed to ask for help. It took days to fix it. And afterwards feels like a weight is lifted mentally. You are helping way more than just hair. 🙏🏽💜🙌🏽
Thanks for talking about hair and self care. Its so important to understand how much mental health effects all parts of a person. Something as simple as brushing hair could take a lot of energy from someone who is depressed. Love your channel
WOW. The fact that her hair looks so beautiful and healthy even after being so incredibly matted is ASTONISHING. She’s got GORGEOUS hair!!! And the LENGTH!! WOW!!!
I have Borderline/Emotionally Unstable Personality disorder. When my mood is really bad I focus on only my self-care which includes my hair. That way my hair never gets out of hand. I also keep it short due to fewer tangles.
You are such a God given angel to these people. Most days, it's a struggle just to move or get up but I have to work so I have no choice. I live with chronic pain from PA and other health issues which make depression a daily fight. Thank you for opening your heart and salon to people in need. God Bless you
I’m in tears. You are Truly Gifted. I went through a long battle with depression myself and I can’t even remember What I did with my hair! So grateful you are There to help our sisters🌹
i really appreciate how caring you are and how sweet you talk about mental health, you should for sure post or see the Build a Ladder comunity as they can find comfort on your videos or even going to the salon as someone who has been struggling with anxiety and depression... thank you for your kind work and words
I needed this video, these comments and you in my life today more than I even knew. I have been going through this for a while now and haven’t walked outside, combed my hair, or can barely force myself to the bathroom. I can’t really talk to anyone because of fear of judgement and am so far in a hole I don’t know how to get out. But just knowing I’m not completely alone in this helps so much. Seeing other people come through and rise above and seeing you and others being compassionate and understanding has literally brought me to tears with hope. Thank you ❤️
There MUST be someone you can talk to because it sounds like you need that. Sometimes when you open up to someone, you'd be surprised to find out that there is someone who will listen. Have you tried praying (sorry because I don't know if you believe in prayers) but because you said that you are in a hole and don't know how to get out, sometimes prayers help. Believe me that God will send someone unexpectedly in your life. Just BELIEVE. Good luck and God's blessings.
I cried the whole time watching this. You're right it's a human being thing. I had long pretty hair and now I cut out all my matted knots and that's that. Thanks for allowing us to talk honestly without judgement.
You astonished me with her hair transformation !!!!! Please I'm begging you to send me instructions on how to rescue my horribly tangled hair. My care provider has been working on it for a week now and the matting isn't halfway removed. 😭💔
You have such a beautiful soul!! Life does happen to everyone and I'm sure you're kindness touches your clients in ways you don't even know as they pass that kindness on to others!! You're amazing!!!
This video was so relaxing to watch. Subscribed a while ago, love your content and it’s awesome seeing you help people without any judgement! I’ve never been into hair styling or anything, but as someone with long, thick hair it can get hard to take care of as it is, can’t imagine what people who deal with tonnes of extra responsibilities go through.
Oh please don't doubt yourself, you're definitely an expert in this! Can anyone name a famous hair stylest that specializes in detangling? You are one of the ONLY people out here showing this and I've learned so much from you. You're reaching millions of people and as a result you're helping millions of people!
Amazing. I don't have this hair type, but it was so satisfying to see you help her and make her feel beautiful again. Your understanding and compassion was amazing. I subbed 🥰
While my hairdresser judges my hair and shames me when I take good care. I hate going to any hairdresser because of how I feel when I leave the salon. Thank you for being so empathetic and understanding people with depression.
Yay! You changed your channel name on my birthday! Wow, her hair looks really good for only 18 months tangled! I love your gentle attitude and application. My hair no matter what I do just seems to never get fully detangled and I am heavy handed. Even though my hair isn't like your client's hair condition, I'm scared to go to a salon.
It's my birthday too!!! Don't be afraid! Find a salon that's understanding and professional. However you're always more welcomed to come visit me in Miami, FL.
I cut all my hair off after years of depression and eating disorder, it was kind of therapeutic to make a clean cut so to say and helped me really feel like I was making a fresh start and it was healing from now on (even tho of course it wasn't as linear as it sounds but still). I was grateful in the end but I definitely cried buckets and felt like a huge failure for having sacrificed my hair to mental illness. Maybe that's why it really makes me so happy when I see how you manage to save these clients beautiful hair, even tho I don't regret cutting it off and making a fresh start as I said. I 100% understand being afraid of getting help, as I said, been there, done that, but most of the time professionals won't judge you. Not just hair, but also dentists. Taking care of personal hygiene is so difficult sometimes, but it's never too late to get help once you are in a place again where you're able to. And videos like this show that so beautifully, so really, thank you for not only doing what you do but also sharing it ❤️ you're really making a difference for people not only the people who come to your salon but also who watch your videos
I to am a huge empath. That being said I used to wonder, not judge, I didn't understand how people can be depressed. Since then I've been through my own struggles and I no longer wonder. God bless her. I hope she is on the road to recovery in all ways.
Howwwww do you do this??! My hair gets so matted even after one day, I can only bare to comb it when full of conditioner in the shower and it brings me to tears with the pain and still has knots in it... this is incredible
I have watched a couple of your videos. As a person who will never have this problem(straight straight non curl/kink hair) I found what you do absolutely amazing! Your clients must leave with their confidence and self worth sky high! I never imagined just what it takes to keep black folks hair (sorry that is very clumsy) up, it is such a process and I now have a greater appreciation when I see amazing hairdos. Thank you for your work and for sharing your gift.
When this happened to me I spent way too many days on it. I just couldn't continue and after several tears I just put the brush down and continued on with life. It took forever, but I eventually untangled my hair fully, and now it's doing better. Oh yeah, so am I!
The clients hair turned out phenomenally; however, do you think the number of passes you used to straighten her hair were necessary for a smooth look? What state of health would you say her hair was in after it being neglected for over a year?
It is keratin treatment .. it is basically will peave her hair straight untill her hair grow back .. you need around 15-20 passes to lock the product into the hair cuticle.. this is why she did so many passes:)
We still have a long way to go when it comes to depression awareness.
I have been there, you start to think its not worth it bc you will die anyway
My brothers are in that position, they haven't showered in 5 weeks and I can't stand their stink but I don't know how to get them to take care of themselves. Nothing I say helps

So true,!
Your ability to meet people where they are at and not judge is such a gift from God!
Exactly! You inspire me to be better!
It really is a gift from God. 🥰
Exactly
I totally agree. I love this channel because there is no judgment.
Yes! It is a God-given WONDERFUL way to be! Blessings to you!
As a person who suffers from severe depression. I am currently detangling my own hair after not washing my hair for months. Watching this and realizing I’m not the only one, brought me to tears. Thank you for this and for your light.

For me depression is indifference
Yep!!!!
Yes!! It def needs to be talked about more because when a person is in the throws of this they normally don't even understand that it is depression because they are not crying in their room.

Wow, great job! One thing that got 'forced' on me when I was grieving, was my husband would make me shower every night. And I washed my hair every second night. I WOULD have died slowly in my bed. I make myself shower everyday, regardless. That way I know that part of me is moving forward.
YOU did that!🖤

Love don’t feel guilty everything will be ok u are a good mum ❤️

Tell me about it! It's really hard when it's multiple family members.
I feel you, my mum also died half a year ago, now my hair care is what gives me calm and confidence back.
Love that you actually care and not be the type of hair stylist, to say " just cut it off". It looks healthy and shiny because of YOU!
Her curls are GORGEOUS!!

Love from BK NY! I’m a hairstylist and I love helping people achieve their hair goals and pull off different styles. You’ve inspired me to look into learning how to detangle hair that’s been matted so I can add this as a service for my clients. 🙏🏼🙏🏼
Hi Michelle, I’m in BK, NY and really need help with this. Would you be interested in taking a look at my hair? I would truly appreciate it. How can I best reach you?
Ppl don’t understand it because they have never been through things. As the elders say, keep on living. Don’t ever think it can’t be your story. I’m glad she’s in a better place. You had her hair looking amazing!
I'm in tears because this happened to me twice. 1 from me breaking my hand and second with depression after covid. I immediately knew what was going on here. We need more awareness like this and definitely more stylist like you.
Life can hit you for a loop. I fell apart for a couple years after my parents died. I was blessed that my hubby helped me survive. Thank you for your love qnd kindness
This world needs more people like you ❤️🌈💇🏾♀️
I hope your client reads this comment. Sweetie, you have absolutely gorgeous hair! I am so happy that you reached out for the help you needed and I pray this was life-changing for you. You are very brave.
Oh my gosh she has some of the most beautiful hair I have ever seen.
You completely changed her life. What a beautiful gift of life.
You're so sweet and kind hearted. One time I was so sick and just slept most of the time for 2 weeks., my hair got so matted I couldn't brush it. I just had to cut it. I wish I had someone like you to help, especially without the judgement. Thank you for what you do. God bless you. ❤💯
You have the patience of a saint. The end result was well worth it, just beautiful!
I love how you explain this. No one ever expects, wants or plans to hit this sort of bump in the road. I went through a mental break a few years ago and it took every ounce of my being just to get out of bed and shower in the morning. You are an angel for helping these women and I can guarantee that you have no idea how good they feel leaving your shop. When you’re in that dark place and another human shows you kindness, it is never forgotten. Love you for doing this.
Bless you for being so patient and non judgmental. I went through this after being hospitalized for 5 weeks and unable to wash my hair. It took me nearly 3 days but it was the best feeling ever after it was done. You are truly a beautiful human 💚
her hair looks amazing and even i feel refreshed after watching. You could tell even in the before photo that she has some amazing curly hair.
I have no idea how I landed here, but your kindness and empathy is inspiring. The world needs more people like you!
What a beautiful transformation! Her hair looks fantastic and it probably is a real morale boost for her to have it be so sleek and tangle-free.
You are amazing. My hair has been this bad before. And I was ashamed to ask for help. It took days to fix it. And afterwards feels like a weight is lifted mentally. You are helping way more than just hair. 🙏🏽💜🙌🏽
Man it’s so sad that people can hurt so bad to the point that these things end up happening.
Thanks for talking about hair and self care. Its so important to understand how much mental health effects all parts of a person. Something as simple as brushing hair could take a lot of energy from someone who is depressed. Love your channel
You my dear are a healer! You are amazing. You save lives literally. WE NEED PEOPLE LIKE YOU! 💜💜
Her hair is beautiful. You did a great job, and you helped to restore her confidence... Blessings to you and your client ❤️🙏🏾
WOW. The fact that her hair looks so beautiful and healthy even after being so incredibly matted is ASTONISHING. She’s got GORGEOUS hair!!! And the LENGTH!! WOW!!!
❤️❤️ first step to recover is self care ❤️❤️❤️.. trust depression is real! Been there and slowing recovering today
I have Borderline/Emotionally Unstable Personality disorder. When my mood is really bad I focus on only my self-care which includes my hair. That way my hair never gets out of hand. I also keep it short due to fewer tangles.
@@marleyhill34 Good plan. 💜
@@Zizzyyzz thanks.
wow, simply wow, well done to the lady who had the confidence to come to this wonderful hairdresser and have her hair done
You are such a God given angel to these people. Most days, it's a struggle just to move or get up but I have to work so I have no choice. I live with chronic pain from PA and other health issues which make depression a daily fight. Thank you for opening your heart and salon to people in need. God Bless you
How gorgeous are her curls wow so so beautiful
Your whole persona exudes love for others. The world needs more of this. Thank you! 😊
I’m in tears.
You are Truly Gifted.
I went through a long battle with depression myself and I can’t even remember What I did with my hair! So grateful you are There to help our sisters🌹
The shine on her hair... just WOW 👏🤩
Her curl pattern is absolutely stunning! I'm glad you were able to help her out. ❤️
I love the kindness you offer to these beautiful women. Thank you for spreading love and awareness for depression. Her hair looks so pretty!!
Hey I made an appointment, and spoke to you on the phone. I’m so glad I can watch on TH-cam!!!
These are the most satisfying videos I've found on youtube and so heartwarming :)
Her hair turned out so beautiful and shiny it looked like a perfect weave or wig!!
I'm sending love and light to you for all that you do!! 💖✨
i really appreciate how caring you are and how sweet you talk about mental health, you should for sure post or see the Build a Ladder comunity as they can find comfort on your videos or even going to the salon
as someone who has been struggling with anxiety and depression... thank you for your kind work and words
Her hair is so beautiful!💚
I’m so glad that you are here for all of the people out there , who are scared to get help.
She has lovely hair. Bless you for helping her.
I needed this video, these comments and you in my life today more than I even knew. I have been going through this for a while now and haven’t walked outside, combed my hair, or can barely force myself to the bathroom. I can’t really talk to anyone because of fear of judgement and am so far in a hole I don’t know how to get out. But just knowing I’m not completely alone in this helps so much. Seeing other people come through and rise above and seeing you and others being compassionate and understanding has literally brought me to tears with hope. Thank you ❤️
There MUST be someone you can talk to because it sounds like you need that. Sometimes when you open up to someone, you'd be surprised to find out that there is someone who will listen. Have you tried praying (sorry because I don't know if you believe in prayers) but because you said that you are in a hole and don't know how to get out, sometimes prayers help. Believe me that God will send someone unexpectedly in your life. Just BELIEVE. Good luck and God's blessings.
I hope and pray that by now you are happy and healthy.
I cried the whole time watching this. You're right it's a human being thing. I had long pretty hair and now I cut out all my matted knots and that's that. Thanks for allowing us to talk honestly without judgement.
You show such grace to your clients. It warms my heart so much 🕊 ☮️
Good on you helping people in their lowest times, it’s very hard to understand what others are going through unless you actually go through it
I want to Thank you and your assistant for being so loving to everyone to help them. Thank you.
You astonished me with her hair transformation !!!!! Please I'm begging you to send me instructions on how to rescue my horribly tangled hair. My care provider has been working on it for a week now and the matting isn't halfway removed. 😭💔
You have such a beautiful soul!! Life does happen to everyone and I'm sure you're kindness touches your clients in ways you don't even know as they pass that kindness on to others!! You're amazing!!!
You did more than just restore and nourish her hair - You helped restore and nourish her spirit. There's healing in your hands. Be Blessed
This video was so relaxing to watch. Subscribed a while ago, love your content and it’s awesome seeing you help people without any judgement! I’ve never been into hair styling or anything, but as someone with long, thick hair it can get hard to take care of as it is, can’t imagine what people who deal with tonnes of extra responsibilities go through.
You are like a hairygodmother. Pure magic what you do with hair
Oh please don't doubt yourself, you're definitely an expert in this! Can anyone name a famous hair stylest that specializes in detangling?
You are one of the ONLY people out here showing this and I've learned so much from you. You're reaching millions of people and as a result you're helping millions of people!
You did your thang girl, You have a good heart, you did not judge, that are truly a blessing 🙏🏾☺️💖
Wow she has gorgeous hair! Depression is so hard. I wish her luck!
The beautiful thing is that despite the life trials, they regained enough strength/healing to pick themselves back up and fight.
You're such a beautiful person for doing this 🙏🏾
Wow. You (and your assistant) are changing lives, one detangling at a time.
Amazing. I don't have this hair type, but it was so satisfying to see you help her and make her feel beautiful again. Your understanding and compassion was amazing. I subbed 🥰
Oh her hair is absolutely gorgeous afterwards. And thank you for being such an understanding and kind person!
“She was delivered.” 🙌🏼
While my hairdresser judges my hair and shames me when I take good care. I hate going to any hairdresser because of how I feel when I leave the salon. Thank you for being so empathetic and understanding people with depression.
Yay! You changed your channel name on my birthday! Wow, her hair looks really good for only 18 months tangled! I love your gentle attitude and application. My hair no matter what I do just seems to never get fully detangled and I am heavy handed. Even though my hair isn't like your client's hair condition, I'm scared to go to a salon.
It's my birthday too!!! Don't be afraid! Find a salon that's understanding and professional. However you're always more welcomed to come visit me in Miami, FL.
@@love518salon thank you so much. Hopefully when traveling gets better I will be in Miami. Happy belated birthday! ❤
Beautiful, this lady must feel wonderful.
Can’t wait for the addition of self care too! ❤️ So excited!
Thank you for offering these people who've gone through difficult situations so much love and kindness.
I cut all my hair off after years of depression and eating disorder, it was kind of therapeutic to make a clean cut so to say and helped me really feel like I was making a fresh start and it was healing from now on (even tho of course it wasn't as linear as it sounds but still).
I was grateful in the end but I definitely cried buckets and felt like a huge failure for having sacrificed my hair to mental illness. Maybe that's why it really makes me so happy when I see how you manage to save these clients beautiful hair, even tho I don't regret cutting it off and making a fresh start as I said.
I 100% understand being afraid of getting help, as I said, been there, done that, but most of the time professionals won't judge you. Not just hair, but also dentists. Taking care of personal hygiene is so difficult sometimes, but it's never too late to get help once you are in a place again where you're able to.
And videos like this show that so beautifully, so really, thank you for not only doing what you do but also sharing it ❤️ you're really making a difference for people not only the people who come to your salon but also who watch your videos
You are so kind and so wise. The world is lucky to have you in it.
I to am a huge empath. That being said I used to wonder, not judge, I didn't understand how people can be depressed. Since then I've been through my own struggles and I no longer wonder. God bless her. I hope she is on the road to recovery in all ways.
At the end of day one, her hair is so gorgeous! I'm so glad you're helping her.
Howwwww do you do this??! My hair gets so matted even after one day, I can only bare to comb it when full of conditioner in the shower and it brings me to tears with the pain and still has knots in it... this is incredible
God bless you. My heart goes out to this woman. Her hair is amazing, I’m sure she feels so much better.
You almost got deleted. I saw the name and said to myself, "Who in the world is this? I don't remember subscribing to this channel." 😂😂❤
Same I was like why did TH-cam recommend this new youtube to me. lol!
I have watched a couple of your videos. As a person who will never have this problem(straight straight non curl/kink hair) I found what you do absolutely amazing! Your clients must leave with their confidence and self worth sky high! I never imagined just what it takes to keep black folks hair (sorry that is very clumsy) up, it is such a process and I now have a greater appreciation when I see amazing hairdos. Thank you for your work and for sharing your gift.
When this happened to me I spent way too many days on it. I just couldn't continue and after several tears I just put the brush down and continued on with life. It took forever, but I eventually untangled my hair fully, and now it's doing better. Oh yeah, so am I!
Bless you and your assistant for helping this woman with love. It’s beautiful to watch. 😍
the number of passes 😣 it came out beautiful tho
The clients hair turned out phenomenally; however, do you think the number of passes you used to straighten her hair were necessary for a smooth look? What state of health would you say her hair was in after it being neglected for over a year?
To me it looked like a loop!!!
It is keratin treatment .. it is basically will peave her hair straight untill her hair grow back .. you need around 15-20 passes to lock the product into the hair cuticle.. this is why she did so many passes:)
I had the exact same thought.
I cannot believe the transformation you gave both her hair and her life. You are a magician!
So much respect for you. This made my day, thanks! Love from Japan
Absolutely beautiful!! I can imagine the tears of joy your clients must cry. God has given you a special gift.❤
