Teen Suffering From Depression Spends Two Days In The Stylist’s Chair For a Dramatic Transformation

In 2017, a teen suffering from depression took the first step in healing her mental health when she bravely got out of bed and sought help.

Surprisingly, the support she received was found at a local hair salon, when two caring hairdressers gave her the help she deserved that would boost her self esteem and ultimately change her life.

When a teenager from Iowa suffering with depression felt too worthless to leave her bedroom, everything seemed unimportant. The effort of getting out of bed was immensely tough for her, let alone taking care of her personal hygiene.

The painful reality of depression interfered with the teenager’s abilities to leave her bed, except for when she had to use the bathroom. Over time, lying in bed caused a complex tangle of issues for the young woman.

The teenager couldn’t even carry out day to day routines like combing her hair, and so, as she lay in bed everyday without brushing it, her long hair soon matted together into a thick mass that was impossible to deal with.

One day, the 16-year-old decided enough was enough and felt that in order to feel better, she first needed to fix the problem with her hair. She didn’t even care if the only solution was shaving her head bald.

She then paid a visit to the local beauty school hoping someone could help her save at least some of her hair.
