Damn she went through all of that effort, respected her clients privacy and didn't judge her one bit, can we have more stylists like this Im tired of being anxious going to the hair dresser and feeling like Im going to get roasted for split ends 😂
@@sweetathegreat you would think that they would know making someone feel insecure and uncomfortable after going to their salon would make clients less likely to return and yet-
The fact that she came into your salon means she wants to take care of herself, which shows she's starting to get better. It couldn't have been easy to do that. I hope she continues to get better. Wishing her all the best. I hope you know how much it must have meant for her to have someone like you, help her, without judging.
@@halamadrid6733 depression, mental illness and many other factors (such as having a complicated life where your priorities have to be towards others) can make someone neglect oneself. What matters is that she's back to caring for herself now.
Ok this is definitely a trauma response. I went through trauma i never couldve imagined this year, and i instantly stopped eating, sleeping, everything. My stomach never growled, and i felt nothing, dropping tens of lbs in weeks, even though I'm an athlete. It is HORRIBLE what trauma does, but I'm so glad shes recovering. ❤
Years ago I got very ill. I was bed ridden for about 6 months. I had long jet straight hair but over the 6 months it became matted. My appearance put me in such a deep depression. I lost too much weight, I looked like a vampire and my once long beautiful hair was a knotted disaster. I wanted to just stay in my house and never leave. My friend talked me into going to a salon to get my hair cut off and styled. I went to a salon I never been to, figured nobody knew me and they would laugh at me, refuse me and boot me out, the first one kinda did! Said they couldn't help me because my mats were to close to my scalp. Seen them smirking and whispering. I wanted to just die! My friend forced me to go to another as they took walk ins too, so I walked in and told the lady in the front, what I wanted and why it was the way it was. I was in tears. An older woman who must of been listening came up from the back looked at me and said.. no need to cut off your gorgeous hair, not sure what she seen but it was far from gorgeous. And she took me by the hand and took me back to her station then to the sink. She worked magic in that sink, used several products, some of this, wait, put some of that, wait. With in about 45 mins, she was putting a comb thru my hair. I didn't even feel any pulling. She talked to me like she knew me my whole life, talked to me like a human being, made it seem my wreck of a head of hair was something she seen a lot and was no biggie. I went in embarrassed but after a few mins she had me feeling better and hopeful. After she was done cutting and styling, my hair was longer then I remembered, super shiney and gorgeous (just like she said!), the person in the mirror was a woman I forgot existed. I cried and she cried with me. God may have healed my sickness, but he sent me to an angel to heal my soul. Price was $9.99 plus tip.. she got a 100 dollar bill. If I had more I would of given it. A few months later I went back to that salon to get a trim, I asked for the Angel who worked that miracle for me, but she retired a couple weeks before. I just watched another angel working a miracle and I can guarantee the woman hiding behind the mask was in tears with a huge smile on her face,. God bless all the stylists who use their talents, other then just use it as a job.. that can work miracles, to not only fix hair but restore confidence and fix souls. I will never forget Miss Teesha who worked at Cuts and More.. in Cleveland Ohio.. in 1998. Salon is no longer there. My guess she would be in her 80s now. ❤️
What a story! Glad you had that experience good and bad made you the best version of yourself and better to come. You speak truth, now that’s something I RESPECT from my soul. Painted such vivid pictures through energy alone, Mam God bless you and your future. Wherever Miss Teesha at, bless her to!💯 brings me actual genuine happiness to know people like yourself beating the STRUGGLE and making it out of a hellhole. You deserve it, live life with 100% confidence in yourself. That’s goes to all who see this.
I love how she's like no judgement and protects her clients identity. This is a beautiful channel. Her hair ended up gorgeous! I hope she feels better (:
I'm so glad she didn't cut her hair off and that she found the strength to go out and be vulnerable in order to be get the help she needed. She looks wonderful and I was so happy for her and the stylist at the end. Great video ❤
On behalf of everyone who has struggled with personal hygiene due to mental illness thank you for helping and not judging. You saved her not just her hair.
I’ve been in that type of depression where I didn’t comb my hair and would just throw a wig on a matted mess. I knew it was bad underneath and every time I looked at it, it made me even more depressed so I would sleep in my wigs so I wouldn’t see it. This time in my life was a reflection of what was going on with everything in my life. Just like the mess under that wig, my life was a mess and I was covering it up, not reaching out for help and settling for “the look” of being okay. I finally shared what was happening with my best friend who was also a hair stylist. She had me come over and loved on me, hugged me, prayed for me and we cried together. It took forever for me to allow her to remove my wig and I cried hard. I felt like the band-aide was ripped out and I was exposed. She worked with my hair and it felt so good to be washed and cared for when I couldn’t do it for myself. Depression is real. Please don’t live in this pain. Reach out to someone you trust.
i’m tearing up reading this… 🫴🏽💜 that last sentence is so important.. reach out to someone you trust. people who don’t get it are usually the ones who say “don’t be afraid to ask for help!” but when you do they still paint you as someone who is inherently damaged/unstable.. very few people will actually be there for you. sometimes a listening ear is all it takes. i’m glad someone was there for you ~ ✨
Thank you for this video gets me so much hope it's been the same amount of time I was trying to see how to get my back to myself with my hair thanks for your video I have tears in my eyes this gives me hope God bless you
I wish I could have seen this 6 months ago. My sister's depression got really bad and she hadn't brushed or washed her hair in 3.5months. It broke my heart when she asked for my help,but after 5.5 hours we had it all unknotted and I washed it for her.
When I was in my addiction and depressed feeling like the world was coming down on me I took a shower washed/conditioned my hair and instead of detangling it I put it right up in a bun. Big mistake! My hair was/is naturally curly,thick and very long. Anyway I went maybe a few weeks without washing it. Every time I took a shower I just kept it in that bun. I remember coming back home to live with my parents and my sister sat detangling and combed my hair . It took a few hours to get to he knots out. We used mane n tail conditioner I'll never forget it. Sitting in my parents living room. Jeez, That was so long ago but watching this video reminded me of that. Took many years but I did finally get clean and sober. By the grace of G-d I'll have 4 years clean in March .
I cannot imagine how freeing that must have felt for her. What a strong lady for being able to come in and ask for help. Beautiful hair!! So happy she didn't have to cut it off.
At no time after my mom passed did I feel like not taking a shower washing my hair or eating because she was gone. Unless your client is also clinically depressed she has no excuse for this. I'm keeping it real NOT FOR THE FAKERY NICENESS.
@@courtneybynum4947 Girl you sound dumb ! Trauma and pain effect people in different ways. YOU didn’t neglect your personal hygiene as a response to your mom dying but that doesn’t mean SOMEONE else’s response to whatever trauma or mental illness they have going on will be that 🙄🙄🙄.
This literally made me cry....I have been trying to beat depression and my hair has suffered an entire year and probably some change. I need help so bad.......but I dont have the funds and I work too much to take the time to do it......I keep trying but I run out of time and have to stop..........I'm trying...but this just made me so happy for that woman....I pray she is in a better position in her life. Her hair was absolutely resurrected!!!! BEAUTIFUL!!!!
Hey. Sorry to hear you haven't been well. I havent been through that but I was really busy last year and i found putting twists in hair really useful. They were really rough twists but i just started at the back one day and i basically redid them one at a time every other day.. So i was doing a bit of my hair each day and it kept my hair in an ok condition throughout the first half of a very busy and stressful time.
I hear you. I've decided to keep my hair short. Having depression is like a second job and I made hair not a priority. What's crazy is my nephew asked me to start his locs and its such a joy. But my head is a nope. Nopety nope.
Similar issues with my hair due to depression it seems like twice the job, My hair is long enough for a pony so I had been wearing it in a fuzzy puff with a head band, no wash no comb for almost 2 months. Tried to wash it and saw the tangles I gave up after an hour, back to the pony tail. This went on for almost 8 months, I felt ashamed. I actually got a friend to help me detangle little by little every couple of days until it was complete. I’m still depressed but twists that I can style or put a wig over helps. On my last wash day I left the twists in so I can moisturize a few sections at a time. So what it takes me 2 or 3 days...as Long as I’m working on it right. You can always message me if you have any questions. I pray and hope you can find a solution, I understand the headache it is.
Crying watching this as im going threw depression, copping with my daughter passing away.. sometimes I dont know if I'm coming or going.. the woman looking back in the mirror at me looks the same but is a stranger to me and that's the scariest part, my hair has fell out and I'm trying hard not to give up, I commend her for even reaching out, going outside and seeking help for her self care with her beautiful hair god bless 💜💜
I cannot imagine allowing my hair to get to this state… but watching your love and care for this woman was absolutely humbling… only God knows what this woman is going through to cause this. What an amazing spirit and gift to love and empower someone in this way. This was beyond humbling to watch… your right… we have no idea what people go through…🌷
Yea. I had a hair dresser be visibly angry when I came in with matted hair and she had to be the one to detangle it and style it. I could hear her talking about me to other stylists saying how she didn't have time for it and how she was frustrated with clients who did not take care of their hair. She was not gentle with my hair either. So sad.
@@magnoliaholmes5422 oh nah drop her 😭. At one point I used to get my hair braided for protective styling. My hair wasn’t matted but my hair type is 4b/4a and she would rip through my hair cause she didn’t want to take the time to go through my hair properly and would cause breakage. I haven’t want back to her since like maybe 3 years ago. 😭✋🏽
@@okeneli7416 That's so real. Hair-braiding places have been mad at me too for me not straightening my hair before coming in. And that lady who was taking about me was just a sub since my usual stylist was out. I didn't see her the next times I came in. Must have left.... Lol
God Bless everybody reading this God Loves y’all🙌🏽✝️❤️🙏🏽 God Bless you and your Family and make sure to give Glory to Our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ and put your Trust, Faith, and Love into him and believe Jesus Christ is Lord and is the Son of Our Most High God🙌🏽❤️Jesus came and Died for all the sin of man and whoever believes in Jesus Christ will be Saved🙌🏽✝️
This hit home. I've been there, mine wasnt a whole year only because one day, after several months, my older cousin saw me and she sat me down at her house and washed my hair, detangled, and flat ironed it for me. I remember being at the point where everything was so messed up I didn't care about basically anything, not even my hair. And from then on she would just check on me and do my hair and she was so sweet, didn't judge, just talked to me about anything to keep my mind busy and was there for me. Sadly I haven't seen her in years, but watching you really touched my heart. You're an amazing person and I'm glad you could help her.
Hey guys, I totally forgot about this comment, but thank you for all the love. I do text her and call her as often as either of us can, and I am happy to say she is doing amazing honestly. Her dream is to open her own Salon and she's closer to it every day. Sadly though, I have not seen her in person for years because I ended up in a situation that led to me moving halfway across the county and I'm only recently getting the money to go visit. The year I had FINALLY been ready to go, Covid struck about a month before I was going to make the bookings. I can't wait until things get better, I plan on hopping on the first plane back as soon as I can. Thank you again for everyone who was so sweet and supportive, I hope you all have great days! ❤️
The way you spoke about her warms my heart. Just the fact that you came into this journey without any judgement and nothing but support and understanding. Truly beautiful🤍
This is definitely a big victory. I love how kind you and protective you are over this women. What you did for her and her hair is amazing we need more people like you in the world!
Amen Amen Amen..... God is good thank you for being a blessing. And God using you with your hands to be the blessing to her hair. Miss hairdresser lady you are not only the therapist in the young lady's life. But God is using and working through you to make a difference in her life. You are blessed
Love how kind and respectful you are. This could happen to anyone, life can be so stressful and hair is something we can easily ignore and just shiver in a bun
Depression could be one of those reasons too. After my mum passed away, I was so depressed that I didn't do anything with my hair for 6 months. Wearing wigs helped me achieve that, and then the 1st lockdown kicked in (which made it even easier to achieve).
I still suffer terrible PTSD 5 years after an abusive relationship ended. I’ve finally gotten help, and am in the process of learning to love myself again. Please keep helping these beautiful women because they deserve it more than you could ever know.
I’m so sorry to hear about your PTSD it makes me so happy your getting help and whoever did that to you does not deserve anything in this life, and thank you for spreading your personal life story to encourage others. ily
I can relate 100% with you. That's exactly what happened with me and I'm staying stronger everyday than a day before. You can do this. You are worth your love. You are worth your own peace of mind. More power to you. ❤️
Should be classed as hair therapists! Not hair stylists/dressers. Depression matting is so common, it really isn't the worst thing in the world if you need to care internally. I'm glad she came to you though her hair was beautiful! Xx
Listen this made me cry 😢 like I need this type of Hairdresser back in the day you didn’t just go to the hairdresser to get your hair done back in the day you went to the hairdresser to get your whole life and I just want to say that this is the kind of hairdresser I need and everybody else needs you did an amazing job wow
She has really beautiful hair!!! Wow! I hope she feels absolutely amazing after this ❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️. I understand depression too well so I’m glad sis got up ❤️. Sending her Love and Peace
So, it was depression that lead her not to do anything for her hair, now I get it, depression made me do or not even the simplest things in my life a couple of months ago. Only the Lord saved me from that dark tunnel. May the Lord help and bless her too 🙂
@@tania0874 Amen. Lost my aunt and for the first time in life felt numb! Never in my life I felt like doing nothing! Lord, I slowly came around! That tunnel is deep for others 😞💕
I have depression and anxiety too, but I'm lucky that my hygiene isn't one of the things that suffers. She must have felt amaaaaazing after having her hair taken care of.
Do let depression steal from you. I’ve struggled with it for over 20 years but I’m not going to let it steal from me anymore. I’ve wasted so many years
Go to someone you trust to get it done. My father died in front of me bascually in front of me at home so my depression is horrible but you need to take care of yoyr hair girl. Im going on Friday you can too girl! You got this
On behalf of us who suffer from mental illness thank you for taking the time and patience to help one of us. You don’t realize the impact it has on us to take care of ourselves when we in our mind.
I don't know why the youtube algorithm recommended this to me, but I have to say that I'm really happy that I watched it! Really cool to see people helping each other out. I think I can safely say that we have all been through some degree of real shit this year, and I know I have needed the people around me to help me stay standing! It is definitely the small things! You keep on being you!!
This is to the hairdresser. Thank you for your love and patience to this client who really needed some love. You don’t know how much that meant to her and to all of us who are watching you. May all the love come back to you 10 folds ❤❤❤❤❤❤
Your patience is truly rare. Making masks to protect her identity shows your compassion. I'm wondering, have you seen her since that last day? May all you've shown comes back to you double.
The only other time I saw hair like this was someone who was struggling with severe depression. You took such good care of her. You saved her beautiful hair. I pray she felt cared for and encouraged. Well done.
i still can't understand it and my daughter does this.. she had to go to a stylist to have a matted knot cut out of her hair and it took hours! she hasn't showered in like 2 weeks...
Wow just wow at the patiences! I quit doing hair a long time ago (I do keep my license up though) and I can honestly say I would have been so stressed out if I had to do this. You are very blessed and VERY patient and the care and persistents paid off. Keep doing what your doing! We need more hairdressers like you! ❤ You did a great no awesome job!! 😍😊
"This is a judge free channel" Thank you!!!! So many youtubers have a "I can't control my viewers" attitude and act like they encourage people to be mean
I feel like it's also a reminder to other viewers to remind those being mean or judgemental that such behavior is not wanted. And I said behavior on purpose, because imo don't say no to people, say no to their behaviors.
I give her a HUGE amount of credit for having the courage to come in and have it taken care of. I can only imagine the fear of being judged. Kudos to your beautiful heart and giving her the time and compassion she needed. Absolutely beautiful end result!
God Bless you for not only washing away the old weight, but also taking time to help build her up. Also, God Bless your client for finding the will to make a move and reach out to you to help get her back good. What a great video - depression is NO JOKE! Survival mode will definitely have priorities repositioned!
I know behind that mask she was smiling. Depression isn’t a joke I have pulled my hair out so bad I got patches because I just couldn’t deal with life not knowing if I wanted to live or die. Face messed up for picking my skin terribly. Therefore people can be judgmental when they doing better than those who haven’t received their blessings at that moment. Or when they see the sun shining as opposed to those who have rainy days and dark clouds in their lives. But believe me I’m learning that the battles was never mine in the first place it was and always will belong to God. God has used me to show He is real and to make me humble and for me to realize that I’m never alone and to lean on Him because He will never leave or forsake me. All I have to do better is to call His name anytime and have little more faith and give Him glory at all times, and I will make it. This is not an overnight process but for each day that I’m blessed to see and every second that I’m able to breathe I will try to celebrate and hope to see another day. To all my brothers and sisters who are going through something, we will make it. This too shall pass and we will rise in Jesus name I pray. Amen
Oh honey yes, I too was so depressed I had pain in my brain and chest because I just wanted to die but I couldn’t raise the sword against myself. Yesterday the Lord showed me why we should live. Christ Jesus is the only one who is mediating for us between us and God. You were predestined before the foundations of the earth to be here- you were chosen by God to be redeemed. You mean so much. His son came down in the likeness of sinful flesh and when he was being battered and bruised and killed, he thought of YOU! The Son of God thought of you. Live and be happy, be free, smile, laugh, dance and sing for the Lord because Jesus Christ is why we are alive! His death and resurrection gave us life! Praise be to God. The enemy is trying to get you to think you are nothing. Remember he is a liar and a manipulator and most definitely a deceiver! Rebuke him daily as he knows his time is up soon. He is waging war on us but we have already won is Jesus Christ! With all my love ❤️❤️❤️
I am so grateful for you as a stylist. You not only poured into her hair but you poured into her spirit thank you for your service in this industry. Peace and blessings be upon you❤❤❤❤
Thank you for your videos!! I have an aunt who suffers from depression as well as Alzheimer's. She hadn't combed her hair in 6 years. I live 1000 miles away but when I saw her last, I said, "Next time I see you, I'm doing your hair." She came to visit this week and I did it!! She felt so good afterwards. It took me a total of 12 hours to complete. I took some short cuts, but it still came out long and lovely.
That's wonderful. I had a badly matted patch underneath my hair once. Disability makes lifting my arms up difficult (I still get a little dreadlock right in the centre of my neck underneath 'cos I just can't brush/comb properly there) plus I was in bad trauma/ideation and not washing my hair enough. Hairdressers refused. Took my Mum 5 hours of gently doing it. I told her to just rip through it but she was very slow and gentle. That's a very kind and patient thing you did.
@@taranullius9221 what a sweet momma you have. I'm glad that she's there to help you out. I hope you find a solution that can maintain your hair in a way that keeps you happy.
Do you have a patreon? I’ve dealt with depression and my hair has suffered due to it. It means so much to watch a stylist be this thoughtful and encouraging. I feel like there’s so many stylists who don’t take into account how life can affect your hair care.
God knows I need someone like you near me. I just had my first child 5 months ago and I’ve had my braids in for almost 7 months… they’ve turned into dreads and my edges are falling out. I never thought postpartum depression would hit me so hard but I’m struggling and my hair has taken a hit and I’m almost at the point of cutting it all off. I’m so glad this lovely lady found you and got the help she needed ❤️ God bless you.
Postpartum depression is something many ppl don’t understand and it doesn’t get talked about nearly as much as it should! I never had postpartum depression but I have major depressive disorder, and my brother was shot and killed 3 days before Christmas in 2019 and my stepdad who I was very close with passed 6 months after that from cancer. I fell into my deepest and darkest depression once All that happened. On top of that, I was a severe alcoholic for about 3 years before and during that time. I went two weeks without taking a shower one time. I kept my long beautiful hair in buns bc I never washed it. I had always been a girly girl and prided myself on my hair and my appearance, but that was the last thing on my mind. Moral of my story is I finally went to a psychiatrist and got the help I needed. I’m not on an anti depressant and Xanax, and can tell you it changed my life. I also stopped drinking. As far as your situation goes-I actually know quite a bit about postpartum depression and I know it’s uncomfortable and scary, but it’s important that you try to seek help, and that may mean anti depressants. There have been many women who only need them for a year or so and then the doctor takes them off and they’re totally fine. Because a lot of the time, women who have postpartum depression have never been depressed before or suffer from mental illness, therefore it’s a temporary issue that can be fixed. The worst case scenario is that you don’t seek help and it turns into postpartum psychosis and that could endanger yourself AND your baby. I’m not trying to scare you, I’m really not. I just feel very strongly that I needed to let you know just in case you weren’t aware of how serious it could get. So I hope as of now you’re doing much better of course! But if not, please consider what I’ve said. God bless you and I wish you and your sweet child all the blessings ❤
Bless you, young lady and Bless the hair dresser as well. We All go through things in life that will leave us incapable to deal with life. I am so glad she didnt give up and cut her hair. I pray that she continues to walk in health and strength. Gods Love upon you Both!
As a person with mental illness, I can understand how hard it would be to take care of your hair. And curly hair is even more difficult because you have to do SOOOO much each week to take care of it. I actually ended up shaving my hair because I couldn't deal with taking care of it properly whilst I have so many other things going on.
Right. Even for the average person not dealing with mental illness or other problems, maintaining curly hair is a struggle so i can’t even imagine her trying to keep up her hair while fighting her battles. It’s understandable
I have the EXACT same problem, I have very curly hair, so even just brushing it is a pain because even after so much care, knots would start appearing the day after and very hard to brush curls everywhere. I'm thinking of cutting it as well at some point, but I'm just scared my curls would instead look ugly since at least whith long hair you can deal with long strings of hair but with short frizzy hair it may or may not stay stuck in my head and be basically unbrushable
Me too, I've got straight hair but it's long so when I'd go a month without taking my messy bun down.... yeah it wasn't fun to try to comb through it. Anyways, just wanted you to know you aren't alone in your struggles! 🥰
@@Cris-qn2ii i can totally relate to that. i always be delaying washing my hair cuz of how much effort and energy it requires (esp cuz of the fact that i have long curly hair)
You are not alone. Jesus loves you aso much. When you cry, he sees, he cries to. His heart aches to see you in pain. Jesus was human, he understands you. God sent his son Jesus Christ to die for our sins so we could go to heaven. Jesus is holding your hand wherever you go. God loves you so much 🤍Jesus is the king of kings, Lord of Lords, nothing is to hard for him. God bless you!
When I’m super depressed I don’t take care of myself. I can imagine being in a situation like this, I greatly respect your patience. I love this 💕 Thank you.
I'm white so my hair is different. I was in the hospital after a car accident for almost 7 months. I was in ICU for 4 months. My hair matted really bad. I ended up having my husband cut all of that mess out and just start all over. Broke my heart. It was down my back. I lived though and it's just hair. I bet that water felt really good.
I've gone weeks without showering/brushing my teeth when I've been at my lowest so I get it. Ive had people force me to after long enough so I can't imagine how hard a year was! Glad she's taking some steps to do better
What a beautiful transformation! Bless you for helping this person! God see all we do and He knows who gives away love and who doesn't… you ma'am, give it a2ay so freely … you are truly an angel…
When you go through real trials your hair is not the priority. Im just thinking how her hair sustained itself. Some folks hair fall out. Mine wouldnt thought.
I could imagine that other hair dressers would of told her that the only option was to cut her hair but you put in the effort do made her beautiful xxx
You’re an amazing, patient woman and yes, I think just about anyone else would have cut all her hair off. You’re wonderfully blessed. Your understanding brings tears. God is spreading love through you!!! You did an incredible thing and not just on her hair….Blessings on you both…🙏🏾🙏🏾🙏🏾🙏🏾
You are fuqing iconic, your vibe and attitude are just good. You didn't help her hair you helped her self image, her mental state, her perspective on life. You humanized her, you can't even imagine how much you helped her.
You are a true angel. You give people their life back. I can only imagine the release of weight this has on a person physically, emotionally, and spiritually.
Just found this video, I'm going through a depression episode myself, on top of that I suffer with trichotillomania (a mental disorder that makes you pull out your hair), I've had plenty of judgemental hairdressers saying awful things to me to the point where I was frightened by hairdressers and had to start cutting my own hair. May god bless you and everyone who helps without judging. This world needs more people as kind as you.
This is so crazy you’re the first person I’ve came across that has trichitillomania besides me! Nobody really understands it and everybody judges me for doing it but I physically cannot stop and I notice I do it a lot when my depression is really bad so I 100% know how you feel. I hope you are doing better now❤️ know you are loved and people care about you. You and you’re feelings matter & I hear you love. I wish you nothing but the best
@@kasiejalene thanks a lot ❤ I'm doing much better, in the last 2 years I learned a lot about my disorder and now I can control it way better. I still pull often times but never to the point of getting bald spots. My hair is now waist length and healthy, I never had really long hair, or healthy hair in my life lol, and I always wanted long hair from since I was a kid. I can't believe people compliment my hair now! It's hard, but there's hope ❤ Also, haircare really helps with trich, I weirdly find that I pull much less when my hair feels soft/my curls look good.
I am insanely impressed with your talent, patience and skill. I was a barber for 25 years and I loved it but sadly I had to stop after my 2 year old was born during the height of the covid lock down. I have done my fair share of detangling services but I have never had one take me more than 5 hours. You are resilient and better at it than me. God bless you and keep you.
Oh, that poor baby. 😭❤ When you said it was the first time she'd felt water on her scalp in a year, my heart just shattered for her. I am so happy you were able to help her out. You're amazing. ❤
I literally understand her my hair started breaking off due to depression and anxiety and I stopped taking care of it because I was just so emotionally incapable and it was falling off. Fast forward to now, I’m taking care of it and it’s growing slowly I understand that it’s hard and I’m happy that she trusted you with her hair!
'I'd like to thank all the hairdressers for being "cognizant"for their clients transformation is an absolute challenge. Its absolutely amazing and understanding of what has to be done to create a life for the client.
I lost both my parents in a short amount of time. One was a homicide. Life HAPPENS. I lost my mind. I’m definitely the strong friend and family member that carried everybody else …when it was time for me to need help I struggled. And had no one for the most part besides my bff. Life happens. My hair fell out. I’m so happy she’s coming back to life. You really have so much patience and talent. I commend you both.❤
Any number of things can bring you to that situation. THANK YOU FOR HAVING THE PATIENCE WANTING TO SAVE HER HAIR. Most others just want to cut it off. I understand that is the hair we are suppose to shed daily.
Her hair looks pretty healthy and full considering that she hasn’t combed or washed it in a year. It’s amazing, sending you lots of love and prayers 😊❤
I'm going through this right now. I haven't combed/washed my natural hair in 8 months. I lost total use of my right hand (my dominant hand) because I ended up with Radial Palsy. I have partial use of my hand now and am looking for a stylist near me to help me get my hair back. I've been lucky and have been able to hide my hair wearing headband wigs but my self esteem has been at it's lowest. No one knows that the reason your hair looks this way due to a very real medical issue. I have no one who can help me. I'm so glad to see that there are people like you out there who make what we are going through feel like it's ok. We are not alone. Thank you so much and I WISH you were near me.
YOU DID THAT🙌🏽👏🏽🙏🏽💖✨✨ I went through this when I was in 5th grade. I wore a ponytail in my head for MONTHS. I just continuously brushed the back and front, which made my hair knot up right in the middle. My mom was so upset😫😫 And I have curly hair. She cut the middle out while crying. But at the time, I didn’t know why she was so upset and emotional about cutting it out lol 😂
Of course, you're not alone darling, and you'll never be. We may face our struggles alone, but we aren't the only ones struggling. :) you have my support and I am sending you a lot of love!!!!! 😍😍😍😍
You're not only a stylist, you are a healer.

True shit. I always feel amazing when my girl do my 2 strand twist. The whole process is therapeutic
redo of healer
Amen bïțćh
True tho-
Damn she went through all of that effort, respected her clients privacy and didn't judge her one bit, can we have more stylists like this Im tired of being anxious going to the hair dresser and feeling like Im going to get roasted for split ends 😂
Right!
I totally agree!
Yeah just because they want to sell some shampoo they roast my hair so much... Instead of gaining confidence after a hair cut I come out crying😥
@@sweetathegreat you would think that they would know making someone feel insecure and uncomfortable after going to their salon would make clients less likely to return and yet-
Totally. This happens even with the dentist. Always judging.
The fact that she came into your salon means she wants to take care of herself, which shows she's starting to get better. It couldn't have been easy to do that. I hope she continues to get better. Wishing her all the best. I hope you know how much it must have meant for her to have someone like you, help her, without judging.
She had a whole year to take care of herself
@@halamadrid6733 depression, mental illness and many other factors (such as having a complicated life where your priorities have to be towards others) can make someone neglect oneself. What matters is that she's back to caring for herself now.
@@omarabrody5469 I re read your main comment. I see what you mean that Now she's trying to take care of herself
Yea
@@omarabrody5469 As someone who has gone through something similar, thanks.
Ok this is definitely a trauma response. I went through trauma i never couldve imagined this year, and i instantly stopped eating, sleeping, everything. My stomach never growled, and i felt nothing, dropping tens of lbs in weeks, even though I'm an athlete. It is HORRIBLE what trauma does, but I'm so glad shes recovering. ❤
You’re not alone. We are strong tho and we bounce back
Found my people ❤ send love to you all, we can do this
And we’re glad you’re recovering, too! ❤
Years ago I got very ill. I was bed ridden for about 6 months. I had long jet straight hair but over the 6 months it became matted. My appearance put me in such a deep depression. I lost too much weight, I looked like a vampire and my once long beautiful hair was a knotted disaster. I wanted to just stay in my house and never leave. My friend talked me into going to a salon to get my hair cut off and styled. I went to a salon I never been to, figured nobody knew me and they would laugh at me, refuse me and boot me out, the first one kinda did! Said they couldn't help me because my mats were to close to my scalp. Seen them smirking and whispering. I wanted to just die! My friend forced me to go to another as they took walk ins too, so I walked in and told the lady in the front, what I wanted and why it was the way it was. I was in tears. An older woman who must of been listening came up from the back looked at me and said.. no need to cut off your gorgeous hair, not sure what she seen but it was far from gorgeous. And she took me by the hand and took me back to her station then to the sink. She worked magic in that sink, used several products, some of this, wait, put some of that, wait. With in about 45 mins, she was putting a comb thru my hair. I didn't even feel any pulling. She talked to me like she knew me my whole life, talked to me like a human being, made it seem my wreck of a head of hair was something she seen a lot and was no biggie. I went in embarrassed but after a few mins she had me feeling better and hopeful. After she was done cutting and styling, my hair was longer then I remembered, super shiney and gorgeous (just like she said!), the person in the mirror was a woman I forgot existed. I cried and she cried with me. God may have healed my sickness, but he sent me to an angel to heal my soul. Price was $9.99 plus tip.. she got a 100 dollar bill. If I had more I would of given it. A few months later I went back to that salon to get a trim, I asked for the Angel who worked that miracle for me, but she retired a couple weeks before. I just watched another angel working a miracle and I can guarantee the woman hiding behind the mask was in tears with a huge smile on her face,. God bless all the stylists who use their talents, other then just use it as a job.. that can work miracles, to not only fix hair but restore confidence and fix souls. I will never forget Miss Teesha who worked at Cuts and More.. in Cleveland Ohio.. in 1998. Salon is no longer there. My guess she would be in her 80s now. ❤️
What a story! Glad you had that experience good and bad made you the best version of yourself and better to come. You speak truth, now that’s something I RESPECT from my soul. Painted such vivid pictures through energy alone, Mam God bless you and your future. Wherever Miss Teesha at, bless her to!💯 brings me actual genuine happiness to know people like yourself beating the STRUGGLE and making it out of a hellhole. You deserve it, live life with 100% confidence in yourself. That’s goes to all who see this.

I love how she's like no judgement and protects her clients identity.
This is a beautiful channel.
Her hair ended up gorgeous! I hope she feels better (:
ayeee 100th likee
but also yes i agree privacy is everything in situations like this 💜
You are an angel. Grateful there are people like you out there. 🥳 😘
U did awesome
YESSSS
You DID SO MUCH more than her hair; you gave her the self respect she had lost along the road of life. May you both be blessed.
Amen! great comment from a good place
Amen.
Amen
Amen

I'm so glad she didn't cut her hair off and that she found the strength to go out and be vulnerable in order to be get the help she needed. She looks wonderful and I was so happy for her and the stylist at the end. Great video ❤
As someone with depression, the way you talk about her and being so respectful warms my heart. I wish there were more people like you in this world
On behalf of everyone who has struggled with personal hygiene due to mental illness thank you for helping and not judging. You saved her not just her hair.
I agree 😖😭♥️
AMEN Sister ❣️🙏🏾❤️
Amen!!! ❤️❤️ been there done that
Agreed!
Truth
I’ve been in that type of depression where I didn’t comb my hair and would just throw a wig on a matted mess. I knew it was bad underneath and every time I looked at it, it made me even more depressed so I would sleep in my wigs so I wouldn’t see it. This time in my life was a reflection of what was going on with everything in my life. Just like the mess under that wig, my life was a mess and I was covering it up, not reaching out for help and settling for “the look” of being okay. I finally shared what was happening with my best friend who was also a hair stylist. She had me come over and loved on me, hugged me, prayed for me and we cried together. It took forever for me to allow her to remove my wig and I cried hard. I felt like the band-aide was ripped out and I was exposed. She worked with my hair and it felt so good to be washed and cared for when I couldn’t do it for myself. Depression is real. Please don’t live in this pain. Reach out to someone you trust.
i’m tearing up reading this… 🫴🏽💜
that last sentence is so important.. reach out to someone you trust. people who don’t get it are usually the ones who say “don’t be afraid to ask for help!” but when you do they still paint you as someone who is inherently damaged/unstable.. very few people will actually be there for you. sometimes a listening ear is all it takes. i’m glad someone was there for you ~ ✨
This is so beautiful
U made me cry Melinda…hope ur doing better now sis…
Thank you for this video gets me so much hope it's been the same amount of time I was trying to see how to get my back to myself with my hair thanks for your video I have tears in my eyes this gives me hope God bless you
Some of us don’t have anyone, but so glad you got what you needed 🤎
I love how she protected her privacy and I love the process. Tedious, but cool.
I wish I could have seen this 6 months ago. My sister's depression got really bad and she hadn't brushed or washed her hair in 3.5months. It broke my heart when she asked for my help,but after 5.5 hours we had it all unknotted and I washed it for her.
God bless you
Best sister ever !
❤❤❤
😀
God bless her
When I was in my addiction and depressed feeling like the world was coming down on me I took a shower washed/conditioned my hair and instead of detangling it I put it right up in a bun. Big mistake! My hair was/is naturally curly,thick and very long. Anyway I went maybe a few weeks without washing it. Every time I took a shower I just kept it in that bun. I remember coming back home to live with my parents and my sister sat detangling and combed my hair . It took a few hours to get to he knots out. We used mane n tail conditioner I'll never forget it. Sitting in my parents living room. Jeez, That was so long ago but watching this video reminded me of that. Took many years but I did finally get clean and sober. By the grace of G-d I'll have 4 years clean in March .
Wow, thank you for sharing your story
Congrats!!! It’s a blessing to have family members who help you to get through something like this
That's awesome! Hope you keep up the good work and keep fighting the fight.
That’s wonder! So very happy and proud of you. 😊
Congratulations. Even though I don't know you I am proud of you. I am battling depression and addiction. One day I pray to be 4yrs sober
I cannot imagine how freeing that must have felt for her. What a strong lady for being able to come in and ask for help. Beautiful hair!! So happy she didn't have to cut it off.
“KEEP IT CLEAN IN THE COMMENTS BECAUSE YOU GOT THE RIGHT ONE” YES GIRL!!!
Yup nope. Ridiculous
Me an my client watch your videos. An we love it.
Period...
At no time after my mom passed did I feel like not taking a shower washing my hair or eating because she was gone. Unless your client is also clinically depressed she has no excuse for this. I'm keeping it real NOT FOR THE FAKERY NICENESS.
@@courtneybynum4947 Girl you sound dumb ! Trauma and pain effect people in different ways. YOU didn’t neglect your personal hygiene as a response to your mom dying but that doesn’t mean SOMEONE else’s response to whatever trauma or mental illness they have going on will be that 🙄🙄🙄.
This literally made me cry....I have been trying to beat depression and my hair has suffered an entire year and probably some change. I need help so bad.......but I dont have the funds and I work too much to take the time to do it......I keep trying but I run out of time and have to stop..........I'm trying...but this just made me so happy for that woman....I pray she is in a better position in her life. Her hair was absolutely resurrected!!!! BEAUTIFUL!!!!
Hey. Sorry to hear you haven't been well. I havent been through that but I was really busy last year and i found putting twists in hair really useful. They were really rough twists but i just started at the back one day and i basically redid them one at a time every other day.. So i was doing a bit of my hair each day and it kept my hair in an ok condition throughout the first half of a very busy and stressful time.
If you are in Texas, I can help.
I hear you. I've decided to keep my hair short. Having depression is like a second job and I made hair not a priority. What's crazy is my nephew asked me to start his locs and its such a joy. But my head is a nope. Nopety nope.
Just stay positive. Lean on positive energy and u will overcome it
Similar issues with my hair due to depression it seems like twice the job, My hair is long enough for a pony so I had been wearing it in a fuzzy puff with a head band, no wash no comb for almost 2 months. Tried to wash it and saw the tangles I gave up after an hour, back to the pony tail. This went on for almost 8 months, I felt ashamed. I actually got a friend to help me detangle little by little every couple of days until it was complete. I’m still depressed but twists that I can style or put a wig over helps. On my last wash day I left the twists in so I can moisturize a few sections at a time. So what it takes me 2 or 3 days...as Long as I’m working on it right. You can always message me if you have any questions. I pray and hope you can find a solution, I understand the headache it is.
Crying watching this as im going threw depression, copping with my daughter passing away.. sometimes I dont know if I'm coming or going.. the woman looking back in the mirror at me looks the same but is a stranger to me and that's the scariest part, my hair has fell out and I'm trying hard not to give up, I commend her for even reaching out, going outside and seeking help for her self care with her beautiful hair god bless 💜💜
Sending hugs and love hun...I’m so sorry...I lost my mother to Covid last month...praying for your peace and comfort ❤️
My heart cries with you. I’m so so so sorry💔. Revelations 21:3,4
You’re going to get through it, you have a wonderful life full of love ahead of you ❤️❤️🥺
Aww my dear!!! God sees you and loves you!! I’m giving you a big hug right now!! ❤️❤️
Praying for comfort and peace in your heart right now! Only Jesus can give u true peace sis, call on him in your time of trouble!
I cannot imagine allowing my hair to get to this state… but watching your love and care for this woman was absolutely humbling… only God knows what this woman is going through to cause this. What an amazing spirit and gift to love and empower someone in this way. This was beyond humbling to watch… your right… we have no idea what people go through…🌷
And my stylist complains about my hair being matted after a week! I wish I had someone with your patience.
🥰
Yea. I had a hair dresser be visibly angry when I came in with matted hair and she had to be the one to detangle it and style it. I could hear her talking about me to other stylists saying how she didn't have time for it and how she was frustrated with clients who did not take care of their hair. She was not gentle with my hair either. So sad.
@@magnoliaholmes5422 oh nah drop her 😭. At one point I used to get my hair braided for protective styling. My hair wasn’t matted but my hair type is 4b/4a and she would rip through my hair cause she didn’t want to take the time to go through my hair properly and would cause breakage. I haven’t want back to her since like maybe 3 years ago. 😭✋🏽
@@okeneli7416 That's so real. Hair-braiding places have been mad at me too for me not straightening my hair before coming in. And that lady who was taking about me was just a sub since my usual stylist was out. I didn't see her the next times I came in. Must have left.... Lol
@@magnoliaholmes5422 I’m so sorry that you had that experience, they should definitely be more professional!
Bless this woman. A lot of people would judge her or turn her away, but you showed her kindness and helped her get a new start with her hair.

This hit home. I've been there, mine wasnt a whole year only because one day, after several months, my older cousin saw me and she sat me down at her house and washed my hair, detangled, and flat ironed it for me. I remember being at the point where everything was so messed up I didn't care about basically anything, not even my hair. And from then on she would just check on me and do my hair and she was so sweet, didn't judge, just talked to me about anything to keep my mind busy and was there for me. Sadly I haven't seen her in years, but watching you really touched my heart. You're an amazing person and I'm glad you could help her.
You should try and reach out to her and make sure shes not going thru anything
pls check in on her like she did u x
Reach out to her. She might be needing help herself.
Hey guys, I totally forgot about this comment, but thank you for all the love. I do text her and call her as often as either of us can, and I am happy to say she is doing amazing honestly. Her dream is to open her own Salon and she's closer to it every day. Sadly though, I have not seen her in person for years because I ended up in a situation that led to me moving halfway across the county and I'm only recently getting the money to go visit. The year I had FINALLY been ready to go, Covid struck about a month before I was going to make the bookings. I can't wait until things get better, I plan on hopping on the first plane back as soon as I can. Thank you again for everyone who was so sweet and supportive, I hope you all have great days! ❤️
The way you spoke about her warms my heart. Just the fact that you came into this journey without any judgement and nothing but support and understanding. Truly beautiful🤍
This is definitely a big victory. I love how kind you and protective you are over this women. What you did for her and her hair is amazing we need more people like you in the world!
Girl ,you are a therapist on so many levels.
So glad she found you.
Amen Amen Amen..... God is good thank you for being a blessing. And God using you with your hands to be the blessing to her hair. Miss hairdresser lady you are not only the therapist in the young lady's life. But God is using and working through you to make a difference in her life. You are blessed
Love how kind and respectful you are. This could happen to anyone, life can be so stressful and hair is something we can easily ignore and just shiver in a bun
🥰
Depression could be one of those reasons too.
After my mum passed away, I was so depressed that I didn't do anything with my hair for 6 months. Wearing wigs helped me achieve that, and then the 1st lockdown kicked in (which made it even easier to achieve).
I still suffer terrible PTSD 5 years after an abusive relationship ended. I’ve finally gotten help, and am in the process of learning to love myself again. Please keep helping these beautiful women because they deserve it more than you could ever know.
I’m so sorry to hear about your PTSD it makes me so happy your getting help and whoever did that to you does not deserve anything in this life, and thank you for spreading your personal life story to encourage others. ily

Thank you for sharing!!
I can relate 100% with you. That's exactly what happened with me and I'm staying stronger everyday than a day before. You can do this. You are worth your love. You are worth your own peace of mind. More power to you. ❤️
You did that!!!! I’m so happy for her loving on herself through self care! That can be so hard when you are experiencing struggle. Go girl go! 👏🏾👏🏾
Should be classed as hair therapists! Not hair stylists/dressers. Depression matting is so common, it really isn't the worst thing in the world if you need to care internally. I'm glad she came to you though her hair was beautiful! Xx
True! Underrated comment 🍡🕊⭐️
Listen this made me cry 😢 like I need this type of Hairdresser back in the day you didn’t just go to the hairdresser to get your hair done back in the day you went to the hairdresser to get your whole life and I just want to say that this is the kind of hairdresser I need and everybody else needs you did an amazing job wow
She has really beautiful hair!!! Wow! I hope she feels absolutely amazing after this ❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️. I understand depression too well so I’m glad sis got up ❤️. Sending her Love and Peace
So, it was depression that lead her not to do anything for her hair, now I get it, depression made me do or not even the simplest things in my life a couple of months ago. Only the Lord saved me from that dark tunnel. May the Lord help and bless her too 🙂
@@tania0874 Amen. Lost my aunt and for the first time in life felt numb! Never in my life I felt like doing nothing! Lord, I slowly came around! That tunnel is deep for others 😞💕
I have depression and anxiety too, but I'm lucky that my hygiene isn't one of the things that suffers. She must have felt amaaaaazing after having her hair taken care of.
@MJ heyyyyyy ❤️❤️❤️🇸🇷
My guess was that lady was homeless 🙁
I can’t judge..... my braids (under my wigs) have been in for about 4 months.... depression is a monster
Hugs
4 months is long.. but 1. it’s under a wig. 2. 12 MONTHS!!!😱
Yes !!
Do let depression steal from you. I’ve struggled with it for over 20 years but I’m not going to let it steal from me anymore. I’ve wasted so many years
Go to someone you trust to get it done. My father died in front of me bascually in front of me at home so my depression is horrible but you need to take care of yoyr hair girl. Im going on Friday you can too girl! You got this
On behalf of us who suffer from mental illness thank you for taking the time and patience to help one of us. You don’t realize the impact it has on us to take care of ourselves when we in our mind.
I don't know why the youtube algorithm recommended this to me, but I have to say that I'm really happy that I watched it! Really cool to see people helping each other out. I think I can safely say that we have all been through some degree of real shit this year, and I know I have needed the people around me to help me stay standing! It is definitely the small things! You keep on being you!!
This is to the hairdresser. Thank you for your love and patience to this client who really needed some love. You don’t know how much that meant to her and to all of us who are watching you. May all the love come back to you 10 folds ❤❤❤❤❤❤
Your patience is truly rare. Making masks to protect her identity shows your compassion. I'm wondering, have you seen her since that last day? May all you've shown comes back to you double.
The only other time I saw hair like this was someone who was struggling with severe depression. You took such good care of her. You saved her beautiful hair. I pray she felt cared for and encouraged. Well done.
i still can't understand it and my daughter does this.. she had to go to a stylist to have a matted knot cut out of her hair and it took hours! she hasn't showered in like 2 weeks...
Wow just wow at the patiences! I quit doing hair a long time ago (I do keep my license up though) and I can honestly say I would have been so stressed out if I had to do this. You are very blessed and VERY patient and the care and persistents paid off. Keep doing what your doing! We need more hairdressers like you! ❤ You did a great no awesome job!! 😍😊
"This is a judge free channel"
Thank you!!!!
So many youtubers have a "I can't control my viewers" attitude and act like they encourage people to be mean
I feel like it's also a reminder to other viewers to remind those being mean or judgemental that such behavior is not wanted. And I said behavior on purpose, because imo don't say no to people, say no to their behaviors.
Danny Gonzalez does that.
This just came on my feed. Bless you for helping to restore her dignity. You did an amazing job.
"THIS IS A JUDGE FREE CHANNEL, BE MINDFUL OF YOUR COMMENTS!" Can we spread the word and make that phrase more common in education/tutorial videos??
For real
Absolutely 🤗,❤️💞💖💝
❤
Props 💯🙏to this professional for her dedication & hard work in making it possible for ppl’s life back on track . Hair is so important for women
I give her a HUGE amount of credit for having the courage to come in and have it taken care of. I can only imagine the fear of being judged. Kudos to your beautiful heart and giving her the time and compassion she needed. Absolutely beautiful end result!
God Bless you for not only washing away the old weight, but also taking time to help build her up. Also, God Bless your client for finding the will to make a move and reach out to you to help get her back good. What a great video - depression is NO JOKE! Survival mode will definitely have priorities repositioned!
We never know what people are going through. Show kindness.
We know exactly what she was going through. Fucking laziness
@@squareoranges533 wtf is wrong with you
I know behind that mask she was smiling. Depression isn’t a joke I have pulled my hair out so bad I got patches because I just couldn’t deal with life not knowing if I wanted to live or die. Face messed up for picking my skin terribly. Therefore people can be judgmental when they doing better than those who haven’t received their blessings at that moment. Or when they see the sun shining as opposed to those who have rainy days and dark clouds in their lives. But believe me I’m learning that the battles was never mine in the first place it was and always will belong to God. God has used me to show He is real and to make me humble and for me to realize that I’m never alone and to lean on Him because He will never leave or forsake me. All I have to do better is to call His name anytime and have little more faith and give Him glory at all times, and I will make it. This is not an overnight process but for each day that I’m blessed to see and every second that I’m able to breathe I will try to celebrate and hope to see another day.
To all my brothers and sisters who are going through something, we will make it. This too shall pass and we will rise in Jesus name I pray. Amen
Oh honey yes, I too was so depressed I had pain in my brain and chest because I just wanted to die but I couldn’t raise the sword against myself. Yesterday the Lord showed me why we should live. Christ Jesus is the only one who is mediating for us between us and God.
You were predestined before the foundations of the earth to be here- you were chosen by God to be redeemed. You mean so much. His son came down in the likeness of sinful flesh and when he was being battered and bruised and killed, he thought of YOU! The Son of God thought of you. Live and be happy, be free, smile, laugh, dance and sing for the Lord because Jesus Christ is why we are alive! His death and resurrection gave us life! Praise be to God. The enemy is trying to get you to think you are nothing. Remember he is a liar and a manipulator and most definitely a deceiver! Rebuke him daily as he knows his time is up soon. He is waging war on us but we have already won is Jesus Christ! With all my love ❤️❤️❤️
GOD bless you sister in the Lord
I wish my Granddaughter could see this message it is so uplifting , wish i could share. God bless u love your spirit.

Exactly what I thought when I saw the title
Exactly bc some ppl dont have resources like water or a home 😔
@@blxqtgkeu6177 Especially with clusterf*** that was Covid last year. There's prolly alot of people like her right now.
@@MarieMaia445 😔 im just happy me and my fam didnt have to go thru that 😕
Thank you for your videos!! I have an aunt who suffers from depression as well as Alzheimer's. She hadn't combed her hair in 6 years. I live 1000 miles away but when I saw her last, I said, "Next time I see you, I'm doing your hair." She came to visit this week and I did it!! She felt so good afterwards. It took me a total of 12 hours to complete. I took some short cuts, but it still came out long and lovely.
That's wonderful. I had a badly matted patch underneath my hair once. Disability makes lifting my arms up difficult (I still get a little dreadlock right in the centre of my neck underneath 'cos I just can't brush/comb properly there) plus I was in bad trauma/ideation and not washing my hair enough. Hairdressers refused. Took my Mum 5 hours of gently doing it. I told her to just rip through it but she was very slow and gentle. That's a very kind and patient thing you did.
This is so beautiful and heartwarming to know family out there will help their loved ones like this
@@taranullius9221 what a sweet momma you have. I'm glad that she's there to help you out. I hope you find a solution that can maintain your hair in a way that keeps you happy.

We have such an amazing platform.
You’re obviously talented but the care you show to your client is just so beautiful, God bless you 🙏🏾❤️
Wish I could find a hairdresser like you, what you did for that youg woman was amazing.
Do you have a patreon? I’ve dealt with depression and my hair has suffered due to it. It means so much to watch a stylist be this thoughtful and encouraging. I feel like there’s so many stylists who don’t take into account how life can affect your hair care.
I just set a patreon account up, still learning about it! Thank you for sharing 🥰
I almost started crying with this transformation. Wow! You’re incredible.
God knows I need someone like you near me. I just had my first child 5 months ago and I’ve had my braids in for almost 7 months… they’ve turned into dreads and my edges are falling out. I never thought postpartum depression would hit me so hard but I’m struggling and my hair has taken a hit and I’m almost at the point of cutting it all off. I’m so glad this lovely lady found you and got the help she needed ❤️ God bless you.
Postpartum depression is something many ppl don’t understand and it doesn’t get talked about nearly as much as it should! I never had postpartum depression but I have major depressive disorder, and my brother was shot and killed 3 days before Christmas in 2019 and my stepdad who I was very close with passed 6 months after that from cancer. I fell into my deepest and darkest depression once All that happened. On top of that, I was a severe alcoholic for about 3 years before and during that time. I went two weeks without taking a shower one time. I kept my long beautiful hair in buns bc I never washed it. I had always been a girly girl and prided myself on my hair and my appearance, but that was the last thing on my mind. Moral of my story is I finally went to a psychiatrist and got the help I needed. I’m not on an anti depressant and Xanax, and can tell you it changed my life. I also stopped drinking. As far as your situation goes-I actually know quite a bit about postpartum depression and I know it’s uncomfortable and scary, but it’s important that you try to seek help, and that may mean anti depressants. There have been many women who only need them for a year or so and then the doctor takes them off and they’re totally fine. Because a lot of the time, women who have postpartum depression have never been depressed before or suffer from mental illness, therefore it’s a temporary issue that can be fixed. The worst case scenario is that you don’t seek help and it turns into postpartum psychosis and that could endanger yourself AND your baby. I’m not trying to scare you, I’m really not. I just feel very strongly that I needed to let you know just in case you weren’t aware of how serious it could get. So I hope as of now you’re doing much better of course! But if not, please consider what I’ve said. God bless you and I wish you and your sweet child all the blessings ❤
😢😢😢😢
@@amandasummers7881 I.m so sorry hun. Thank you for sharing your story. I hope you're healing and doing well.💝💝
I did that before many years ago. It took me forever to get those braids out. My hair grew a ton though
@@_CaliGirl I need mine done what city are you located in?
I bet she feels so good at the end of this hard work. To feel water on your scalp is wonderful. It's great that you put so much into helping her.
Her hair said "YAAAAAS" when she left that salon. Her is hair is haaaaappy.
You are too cute✴️
Bless you, young lady and Bless the hair dresser as well. We All go through things in life that will leave us incapable to deal with life. I am so glad she didnt give up and cut her hair. I pray that she continues to walk in health and strength. Gods Love upon you Both!
As a person with mental illness, I can understand how hard it would be to take care of your hair. And curly hair is even more difficult because you have to do SOOOO much each week to take care of it. I actually ended up shaving my hair because I couldn't deal with taking care of it properly whilst I have so many other things going on.
Right. Even for the average person not dealing with mental illness or other problems, maintaining curly hair is a struggle so i can’t even imagine her trying to keep up her hair while fighting her battles. It’s understandable
I have the EXACT same problem, I have very curly hair, so even just brushing it is a pain because even after so much care, knots would start appearing the day after and very hard to brush curls everywhere. I'm thinking of cutting it as well at some point, but I'm just scared my curls would instead look ugly since at least whith long hair you can deal with long strings of hair but with short frizzy hair it may or may not stay stuck in my head and be basically unbrushable
Me too, I've got straight hair but it's long so when I'd go a month without taking my messy bun down.... yeah it wasn't fun to try to comb through it. Anyways, just wanted you to know you aren't alone in your struggles! 🥰
@@Cris-qn2ii i can totally relate to that. i always be delaying washing my hair cuz of how much effort and energy it requires (esp cuz of the fact that i have long curly hair)
That's what I thought, should do very difficult....and not being strong enough. Take care of your self 🤗
I remember not taking a bath for 2 months when I was depressed and suffering from abdominal tuberculosis. It was a terribly sad time.
I hope you're doing well now, both physically and mentally :)
Now you are okay right ..that's relief
Yes, I'm in a much better condition. Mentally and physically 😁 thank you✨
I can only go without a bath for 3 days 😂than my body goes loco
You are not alone. Jesus loves you aso much. When you cry, he sees, he cries to. His heart aches to see you in pain. Jesus was human, he understands you. God sent his son Jesus Christ to die for our sins so we could go to heaven. Jesus is holding your hand wherever you go. God loves you so much 🤍Jesus is the king of kings, Lord of Lords, nothing is to hard for him. God bless you!
You're such a beautiful person for helping that lady ❤❤❤❤ she will remember your act of kindness
When I’m super depressed I don’t take care of myself. I can imagine being in a situation like this, I greatly respect your patience. I love this 💕 Thank you.
I'm white so my hair is different. I was in the hospital after a car accident for almost 7 months. I was in ICU for 4 months. My hair matted really bad. I ended up having my husband cut all of that mess out and just start all over. Broke my heart. It was down my back. I lived though and it's just hair. I bet that water felt really good.
Well, I’m glad you lived to tell the tale! You’re amazing❤️
I’m hella late but I’m glad you’re safe and still here to tell the story ❤️
Did it grow back!?
Power to you💜💜
More power to you sis❤️
You did an amazing job. Her hair is beautiful. Your message about self care and pouting into your self is real. Love those face shields by the way.
I've gone weeks without showering/brushing my teeth when I've been at my lowest so I get it. Ive had people force me to after long enough so I can't imagine how hard a year was! Glad she's taking some steps to do better
She’s the strong friend and didn’t have anyone to lean on when she was goIng through something smh good luck to her
Glad youve bounced back/youre bouncing back 💪🏿💪🏿
No brushing teeth
What a beautiful transformation! Bless you for helping this person! God see all we do and He knows who gives away love and who doesn't… you ma'am, give it a2ay so freely … you are truly an angel…
When you go through real trials your hair is not the priority. Im just thinking how her hair sustained itself. Some folks hair fall out. Mine wouldnt thought.
I could imagine that other hair dressers would of told her that the only option was to cut her hair but you put in the effort do made her beautiful xxx
You’re an amazing, patient woman and yes, I think just about anyone else would have cut all her hair off. You’re wonderfully blessed. Your understanding brings tears. God is spreading love through you!!! You did an incredible thing and not just on her hair….Blessings on you both…🙏🏾🙏🏾🙏🏾🙏🏾
You are fuqing iconic, your vibe and attitude are just good. You didn't help her hair you helped her self image, her mental state, her perspective on life. You humanized her, you can't even imagine how much you helped her.
thank you..Just like u said, she really did help her. lov and lights
Well said!
I can’t imagine how lovely it felt the first time she washed her hair and was able to comb it and care for it herself after working with you.
I knooow! 🌹
You are a true angel. You give people their life back. I can only imagine the release of weight this has on a person physically, emotionally, and spiritually.
We can be so thankful that there is someone that can handle this kind of work! It is work.
You are incredible. The amount of talent and patience is admirable
Just found this video, I'm going through a depression episode myself, on top of that I suffer with trichotillomania (a mental disorder that makes you pull out your hair), I've had plenty of judgemental hairdressers saying awful things to me to the point where I was frightened by hairdressers and had to start cutting my own hair.
May god bless you and everyone who helps without judging. This world needs more people as kind as you.
Bless your heart. I'm so sorry you went through that trauma and abuse from hairdressers❤
This is so crazy you’re the first person I’ve came across that has trichitillomania besides me! Nobody really understands it and everybody judges me for doing it but I physically cannot stop and I notice I do it a lot when my depression is really bad so I 100% know how you feel. I hope you are doing better now❤️ know you are loved and people care about you. You and you’re feelings matter & I hear you love. I wish you nothing but the best
@@kasiejalene thanks a lot ❤ I'm doing much better, in the last 2 years I learned a lot about my disorder and now I can control it way better. I still pull often times but never to the point of getting bald spots.
My hair is now waist length and healthy, I never had really long hair, or healthy hair in my life lol, and I always wanted long hair from since I was a kid. I can't believe people compliment my hair now! It's hard, but there's hope ❤
Also, haircare really helps with trich, I weirdly find that I pull much less when my hair feels soft/my curls look good.
Hairdressers can be unkind. & I notice they feel they have to repeat it several times.
If you are pulling out your hair for no reason that means you have a demon in you and you need deliverance .find Jesus
I am insanely impressed with your talent, patience and skill. I was a barber for 25 years and I loved it but sadly I had to stop after my 2 year old was born during the height of the covid lock down. I have done my fair share of detangling services but I have never had one take me more than 5 hours. You are resilient and better at it than me. God bless you and keep you.
An amazing example of real and powerful loving kindness and incredible skill. ❤
Well one lesson from this video is this:
When you simply leave your hair alone, it GROWS!!!!
yes it does
So true!
Very true - no chemicals needed
Oh, that poor baby. 😭❤ When you said it was the first time she'd felt water on her scalp in a year, my heart just shattered for her. I am so happy you were able to help her out. You're amazing. ❤
Wow her hair is so long and beautiful! You are such an angel
Thank you for the kindness and care you showed this woman.
Wow she got beautiful hair, thank you for hardworking hair dresser.
I literally understand her my hair started breaking off due to depression and anxiety and I stopped taking care of it because I was just so emotionally incapable and it was falling off.
Fast forward to now, I’m taking care of it and it’s growing slowly I understand that it’s hard and I’m happy that she trusted you with her hair!
same
Good for you. You can always get large braids. I don't get waiting for months and letting it get matted.
You do amazing work. As someone who struggles with self care sometimes due to depression, people like you make all the difference in the world. ❤❤❤
Absolutely WONDERFUL job, and a beautiful soul you possess to provide this service! God bless you!
So wonderful 💕 I'm so glad she's still here and I'm so glad that you were able to help her out 💕💕💕💕
You are a a God of hair. Thank you for helping these girls
'I'd like to thank all the hairdressers for being "cognizant"for their clients transformation is an absolute challenge. Its absolutely amazing and understanding of what has to be done to create a life for the client.
I lost both my parents in a short amount of time. One was a homicide. Life HAPPENS. I lost my mind. I’m definitely the strong friend and family member that carried everybody else …when it was time for me to need help I struggled. And had no one for the most part besides my bff. Life happens. My hair fell out. I’m so happy she’s coming back to life. You really have so much patience and talent. I commend you both.❤
To be honest, her hair actually didn’t look too bad for a whole year without washing/styling.
Baeri pudi
Try to smell it. 🤮🤢
@Lois LM because when your hair smell bad you bother someone lol haha
@Lois LM just have a clean hair and you will not bother anyone
@Lois LM i always feel smells of other people when they pass by me 🤔
I’m happy that the young lady has decided to have her hair done it will make her feel good x 🇬🇧
Loving yourself is the greatest love of all.
Any number of things can bring you to that situation. THANK YOU FOR HAVING THE PATIENCE WANTING TO SAVE HER HAIR. Most others just want to cut it off. I understand that is the hair we are suppose to shed daily.
Her hair looks pretty healthy and full considering that she hasn’t combed or washed it in a year. It’s amazing, sending you lots of love and prayers 😊❤
I'm going through this right now. I haven't combed/washed my natural hair in 8 months. I lost total use of my right hand (my dominant hand) because I ended up with Radial Palsy. I have partial use of my hand now and am looking for a stylist near me to help me get my hair back. I've been lucky and have been able to hide my hair wearing headband wigs but my self esteem has been at it's lowest. No one knows that the reason your hair looks this way due to a very real medical issue. I have no one who can help me. I'm so glad to see that there are people like you out there who make what we are going through feel like it's ok. We are not alone. Thank you so much and I WISH you were near me.
YOU DID THAT🙌🏽👏🏽🙏🏽💖✨✨
I went through this when I was in 5th grade. I wore a ponytail in my head for MONTHS. I just continuously brushed the back and front, which made my hair knot up right in the middle. My mom was so upset😫😫 And I have curly hair. She cut the middle out while crying. But at the time, I didn’t know why she was so upset and emotional about cutting it out lol 😂
Can't believe im here crying in the middle of the night because i realized im not alone in my mental struggles
Baby you are never alone sending hugs and lots of ❤️🥰
You're absolutely not alone ❤
Whats your ig?
Of course, you're not alone darling, and you'll never be. We may face our struggles alone, but we aren't the only ones struggling. :) you have my support and I am sending you a lot of love!!!!! 😍😍😍😍
I’m with you I suffer major depression and was diagnosed
Wow you make her hair look beautiful and help her feel it too
You’re incredibly kind. We need more people like you in this world. I love you! 💕💕💕
