Welcome welcome welcome to love518. My name is hadassah and today we're doing another. Detangling video, this beautiful client hasn't combed her hair in three years stay tuned for the transformation. So before we jump into this video, i like to make a quick announcement, so your girl was published in the washington post. Yes, that happened. I am so happy and grateful that i was able to share a little bit about me and how this whole process started. And if you want to read the full story. Click on the link in my description area and enjoy the rest of the video for an active addiction and that sent us an act like full-blown activation. I don't want to get out of bed, it got worse and we have a son and my focus was on him and him only and i just like let myself kind of stay in the dark. But then we both got into a program got clean. So i'm so proud of you and you guys not just you him too, because sometimes once person want to get help. Another person doesn't for the fact that you both want to get help and actually take the steps on your sobriety and your mental health and your physical health and now you're you're doing this yeah. That'S a big accomplishment, i'm truly proud of you guys. I appreciate it because we don't hear it a lot so, as you can hear just a small little taste of what she's been going through and what she has accomplished so far and just a little testament of everyone is going through something. And it's how you deal with things - and i am so proud of her um for just making the step of not only changing her life but coming in, to seek help and be free of this big ball of hair that you see back there. So this is the end of day one and you see what we got accomplished so far. So now i'm just gon na. Let you guys sit back, watch the video and listen to her testimony and answer some of the questions that you guys ask all the time. I was the only person in the world. This happened. That'S why i figured that's why i couldn't find anyone to help me, because i'm the only person that you know this is going on too, but there's no one out there. That can help me with this, but i was refused to give up finding someone and for some reason i just because youtube is so big in our house with between my son and my husband, i was like, let me just type into youtube: how to detangle matted Hair and you, your video came up and i was like, and then i remember thinking, oh my god, but then i remember after that before i like even remotely clicked on it, i said she probably lives in alaska. Why am i down? I would travel there just to go but and then i clicked on it - and i saw you - were you know a florida. I was like. Oh my god, i said all right game over like i've already lived this pain for three years. Almost i'm done here. People all the time are like, oh, that you must have not brushed your hair like i can attest. I brush my hair every day, even when it was like this to make sure that the hair that was not tangled was not going to get in there too. With my in-laws, you were staying in a hotel um and i remember feeling that like when i was brushing my hair. It wasn't. You know the knots were not coming out because, like i said my hair, never really tangled. If it did, you know when i was brushing it like after the shower or something like that it always it was a problem there you brushed a few times and it would come out, but then i felt back and i felt like a round bump and i Was like oh there's something in my hair, i thought it was gum. To be honest, you know i was like. Would i sleep in? Did my son leave something on the pillow? I asked my husband to check and he said. Oh, you know you just got a yeah like a little rat's nest is what he called it. So i spent kid who not probably three or four hours i got. I looked online on how to detangle a huge tangle in a hair like that was like more than just a few brushes type of tango yeah. I don't know for some reason. It told me to use apple cider vinegar, so i went bought some sprayed it on spent three to four hours, trying to do exactly what you're doing my arm burned hurt. I wanted to cry and die, but it literally was almost gone. I rinsed it in the shower. You know, because i shampooed stuff to get the apple cider stuff off. I went to bed and then the next day it was still there and i tried to get it out and it just wasn't budging. But i was like it's small enough. You know i'll just get out the next day that next day turned into almost three years, because i had other things in life going on. Yes, i mean people like you know when we're talking like and people say, how can you let this happen? Like i had a son to raise yeah i couldn't just tell my son hold on mommy needs to be nine million. I don't hours how long this is going to take and it's uncomfortable to do in that position too. You'Re doing your own head to hold your arms up for that long. So you give up yeah you're like oh and then when you're also fighting you're already the depression and anxiety that i was fighting plus. I was in active addiction when you're in active addiction. You know i mean at the time you know when i say it was an act of addiction. I was still a functioning mother though yes, i, my son, has always come first with my husband and i always, but still at the end of the day we were suffering yeah, you're, self-coping and you're grieving. You know yeah, like a lot change overnight. You went from like say you should just be so proud of yourself man, because it's not easy, like it's easy for people to throw rocks and throw stones. But man, like i, tell people your life and your situation manifested through this part of your hair. There'S other people that their stuff is manifesting through overeating or not or under eating drinking out here in these streets just doing whatever you know, gambling or depression being stuck in the house, like their things, show up other ways. You'Re just show up this way. I'D like to say something about that, because i see that all the time when i was watching your videos about the whole just cut it off, you know don't like well. Unfortunately, when i was actually in the stage of maybe i'll just get a pixie cut. I was told that that wasn't actually couldn't happen. All the hairdressers that i went to said. Oh, we can't even do a pixie cut for you. We have to shave, you bald, so i wasn't even afforded that option. Then i didn't know i could so, but then i got to the point where i had put so much into my recovery, and this was a big part of like that life and i would be i'm gon na be damned if, like my addiction, that i fought So hard to get over everything, that's just going to take something else from me. You know like i know i want to fight for one of well, not just that, but some people don't realize that just because you've cut that off it doesn't mean you have. I didn't deal with it. You know yeah, like i faced it head-on and guess what, if i'm doing it this way, i get to keep something that i wanted to keep yeah, because i had to get rid of it in order. You know. Oh i'm happy. You said that i am so happy. You said that, because a lot of times people just don't get it so i'm happy, they heard it from your mouth. My husband said he's like. I would tell them to cut their hair off like that. They don't know what someone's going through yeah, they don't people always assume people have judgment on those people when, like they could be someone who is fighting like cancer or from someone who's bedridden. You know, because when you're bedridden and it's not just from depression, it can be for any reason. And yes, it can sometimes be from depression and anxiety, like people who don't suffer from anxiety and depression may not know, but it can make you knocked out of bed. Yeah and so when you're bedridden and you can't even physically get up, you obviously can't take care of yourself crazy to me that people can be like i had to deal with. I'M sure a lot of people who are in this situation deal with a lot of mean and hurtful things and assumptions like believe me. I didn't go to bed saying: oh, i wish in the morning my hair would be fatted and it would weigh 10 million pounds. Is what it feels like and it hurts, and i just can't wait for that to happen in the morning. That'S why i tell people you coming to see me. That means you're ready for change. It'S something! That'S getting ready to change your life or it's changing now and that you just couldn't no longer carry this with you anymore, baby. You don't know what you do to me between me and you, i feel i chemistry is, is almost done so i finally figured out how her hair worked three days later, so i found a trick to her hair and you won't believe it guys. So this is what's left to do. Look what's left to do. I got completed so far. Now i'm gon na blow your mind. Look what it's attached to guys literally attached to this much hair. So all this is just a hair ball of old matted hair like over a hundred thousand strands of hair, that's in that bag and that's attached to her head. She has no bald spots here. Even her textured hair is a different texture now because it's been made for so long, her hair is very fine, so i found a trick to what was going on so now versus spending hours detangling this um. I am finding another way to get to it. So i'm almost done ready him and his cousin's got ta go hit me his family. Oh look at this all this hair that was trapped in there plus todd yeah. Do you feel different now i i feel like my old self. Oh, my goodness go ahead. Craig get your teacher girl, let it out i'm gon na hold it in too long. This is heavy y'all in here all this hair, and we got ta name this one. Let'S make this one. First, this one we got another one yeah uh todd and tom tom. I'M tom this hair and it's still a little bit stuck in the bag. This is a lot of hair to be carrying for three years. It is funny, oh god, we're finally done. Thank you jesus. We are done so i'm going to do some keratin. Her hair texture is a whole nother, texture now um and how good it feels like you gon na sleep like a baby tonight, you can actually sleep on the back of your head now. I know girl. Look at this, i haven't been able to sleep like, oh, because i can't i don't know so, girl, don't cry. It'S okay, get your tissue, guys! Okay, you are free, i'm so happy! I was able to set you free girl. Look at this! This is why i do it to set people free, not physically, but just also mentally, spiritually, like look at this actually not boy. This is why she had to cut it off, because i saved it yeah i could have been bald-headed. You could have all the. How me hold me is:
Comments
E Somsel: When I was 11 years old I went through a year of depression. I hid a tangled mess of hair under a low pony tail. One day a friend came and visited and wanted to do my hair. I was ashamed and eventually showed her my hair. She didn't bat an eye and lovingly spent the rest of the day gently untangling my hair. I never once even felt a tug of pain. It was such a confidence booster. God's grace came in this loving act of service. Never again did I let that happen.
Shannon McLaughlin: Depression is a crippling disease. When my father died I couldn’t even get out of bed let alone brush my hair. It would just go into a bun.. luckily I got help before it got beyond my control. But I absolutely understand.. and you’re an angel for being so caring and empathetic! You’re a QUEEN!
Penny Underbust: My caregiver just left my hair when I was a child so I would have to shave it all off every so often. Thanks for doing this.
Tess Peterson: I'm a stylist who detangles matts like this, and I've gathered from my clients that I'm the only one in my area that didn't turn them away and that's crazy to me because our job as stylists is to help people feel the best about themselves as possible not matter what, so to hear them say they wouldn't help or even in these comments that they were shamed is awful
x moonlight princess x: When I was in middle school I had my hair matted just like this so I went to supercuts and the manager judged me and told them to shave all of my hair off and made jokes about my hair with the other workers but a sweet amazing woman just like you told them she would spend however long to make sure I had my beautiful curls back and she did! 2 hours later and I didn't have to shave off my hair I am forever grateful for that woman and so glad there's people out there just like her❤
Melissa M: Oh wow. When I went through clinical depression, my body reacted by packing on over 50 lbs in just a few months. Eventuality, it was an extra 75 lbs, which I then lugged around for 8 years. Last fall, I decided I had carried the scars of my illness long enough, and finally was ready to get rid of it. Today, I am down 70lbs, and it feels as good as getting that ball of dead hair off must have. Congrats, girl!
Kodi: My cousin went through the same thing and was considering shaving her head. I spent an entire day helping her detangle as much as I could and ended up giving her a cute layered cut after we finally got it out. She was embarrassed and ashamed but I kept telling her that it's no big deal, I was happy to help her and it was so worth the effort. Really love the lack of judgement and support you show in these videos.
Morgan Barfield: My hair was like this for 6 months because of my heavy addiction at the time. I’m 3 years sober now. So so proud of her getting in recovery!
Jordyn Maldonado: When I was a teenager all of my hair wound up in a giant knot.....I wound up in a psychiatric hospital, and when I was there one of the staff members offered to help me brush it out. She said she'd done it for other patients before. I turned her down because I guess I was just still really ashamed and felt like I couldn't ask someone to do that for me, but the simple gesture of her just offering to help with no judgment at all meant so, so much to me and I'll never forget it. What you're doing is beautiful
kiokuisme2: I really like that you don't show people's face. It allows them to share their story, show a lot of empathy but don't exploit them. Your videos are very inspiring.
D'ara Grace: "To set people free". Not physically, but spiritually and mentally.." When you removed 3 pounds of her matted hair, you also set her free physically. ❤
spirit: I once got a rats nest in my hair for not brushing in literal weeks when I was a child (think around 7). It made me feel insecure so I would wear a hoodie over my head to conceal it. One night my mom did brush it out, I was crying the whole time but she kept saying "it's alright, we're gonna get through this" and I thought about that time while watching this. You're a kind woman, doing god's work, thank you so much
E *: As someone who is 11 years into my sobriety I thoroughly appreciated the genuine kindness and time you gave to this woman. Sometimes all a person needs is to talk to someone who will just listen with no judgment and this small act of kindness can go a long way. Not to mention you are hiding her identity shows immense character on your part. It's beautiful and inspiring.
BWdoggrooming: My partner was never taught how to care for his very textured/curly hair, and he has ended up with matting like this. It’s very very nice to see someone taking care of a client without shaming them.
Krystal Rodriguez: when i had knotted hair like this and went to the hair salon they SHAMED me and other customers LAUGHED at me along with whispering to each other. I love how you create such a safe environment for them :(
ïndïcä_näïl_ärtïst_⁴²⁰: I remember when I was pregnant for my daughter the father left me and I was alone for 7 months of torture throwing up EVERY single day I had a really tough pregnancy to the point I could barely shower and brush my hair regularly so I got a matte in the back and after I gave birth my sister took me to get rid of the matte and I'm so grateful to that stylist she saved my hair and the first time I ran my fingers thru it I cried it felt so good, my daughter is 6 now but I'll never forget that hair matte that literally took up most of my thoughts it was so controlling something as minor as having matted hair, so I can imagine the relief and freedom she felt after that, I was swinging my hair for days after that lol
Alli In Wonder: I spent 2 days helping my friend detangle her 11 year old daughter’s heavily matted hair (more than this). I could tell they were both so embarrassed. I made sure to not pass any judgement and joked and laughed and had as much fun as we could, letting her play with all my apps on my phone like Snapchat. Her daughter was in tears thinking she had to cut it super short (it was so long) and once I started I gave her hope. We didn’t have to cut it! I taught them how to deal with and care for easily tangled hair, gave them a detangle comb and tried to empower them for the future as much as possible. Ish happens. We all need more kindness. Love this ❤️
Mo Chann: I remember having hair like this when I was 15, just starting highschool. I remember I thought I was just lazy, but in retrospect I was in a terrible state for a couple years after my little sister died, and she died just before I started highschool. I couldn’t do anything, I didn’t bother with grades, schoolwork, healthy eating, body care, nothing. I didn’t even feel bad, I just felt nothing. I didn’t care what anyone thought, I was in my own world of nothingness. My hair had 2 sizable mats, and we just ended up cutting the mats out and giving me a bob.
ezzabonbon: I’ll be honest. At first look at the title I began to ponder why someone couldn’t brush their hair for so long but as I watched and her story got explained it dawned on me how quick it is to judge another person without knowing them… I’m struggling with not so much addiction but I can heavily relate to depression and how hard it is to take care of yourself let alone do anything else. I’m sorry to initially judge and it’s so awesome to see the transformation. Please keep doing what you’re doing!
Harpylady269: For anyone who feels this starting to happen in their hair, or knows they're in a place they can't care for their hair and no matting has even happened, you can avoid it: you or someone you know can put your hair in a loose-ish french braid, then put a silk (or similar) hair cap over it. Your hair won't be pristine of course, but that will protect it from becoming like this. A French braid is preferred because the hair on the crown of your head is more protected.
Kinoko: Taking care of someone’s hair is such a pure act of love and kindness. I spend hours removing burrs and mats from my favorite horse’s hair when I visit him and he always seems so grateful. Thank you for helping this woman in such a compassionate way!
Nicole Payne: I have had depression my whole life. I was the same at one point, a functioning addict. I'm 33 with 3 kids and I still struggle to see any value in myself, and I struggle with self care. I'm years clean but still, it's hard. I'm so happy for her that she is better in herself ♡ I hope to get to that point too.
E E: You are washing and detangling that negativity right out of her hair! Dealing with this must've been awful for her, it's wonderful that people like you are willing to compassionately help.
Alien baby: This is beautiful. I didn’t have the best home life as a child and matted rats nests in my hair were common. When I was 11 a girl my age talked to me and brought in hair care items and tools. She spent class all year taking care of my shame. Our teacher would thank her each week. You shine bright!
EfikZara: This is so wholesome ❤️❤️❤️
Mouse M: Thank you and all hairdressers that take the time to do this. I have a daughter with super thick hair and when she was younger, she lived with her dad. He sent her to me with a huge mat in her hair we went to the salon and they managed to fix it but it took that woman's whole shift to fix it. She was so nice about it too.
Alicia Salsman: Last year I went through a really bad depressive time for a few months and I never washed or brushed my super long curly hair. You can imagine how tangled that would get in just a day. But I always wore it in a bun on top of my head so it was out of my face. I left it there for months never taking it down and brushing it out. You can imagine where this is going. So in October, I decided to finally try detangling it bc my birthday was coming up (and then my wedding in November). I struggled so much I broke down and cried and my husband (fiancé at the time) came in and tried to brush it out but he ended up making it so much worse, and made it extremely tight on my scalp, it was so so painful. So for the next 2 weeks, my mom tried to detangle it for hours every single day until finally I went to a salon where they loosened it from my scalp, which revealed how much damage was actually done. I was bald all on the sides and back of my head. I was absolutely devastated bc I wanted to wear my natural curls for my wedding day. I went into the salon again the next day and told them to just shave everything off bc there literally was nothing to save. Hardly anything on top to cover the baldness it was just so so bad. I really thought I was going to leave the salon a wreck bc I didn’t have any hair anymore. But really I felt liberated. I felt so free. Not just from the weight of all the hair hanging off my scalp, but from the emotional baggage that it also carried. The stylists were so so kind and sympathetic and one of them even helped me get a wig and style it for my wedding the next month. My hair has grown out quite a bit since and my curls are coming back slowly but surely. I’ll always be grateful to those stylists who brought me in with no judgment or questions. They saved me.
Lily Rose: When I was about 8 or 9 I had a small tennis ball sized matt in the back of my hair located in the same spot as it is in this womans hair. I was neglected by both of my parents growing up and more so by my mother. She was very angry at me and screamed and cursed and yanked my head around and ripped out a lot of my hair to get the matt out. I had a headache for days afterwards. Needles to say I haven't had matting in my hair like that since and my mother never was a mother to me in any way and now that I'm 37 in 2022 she is barely a part of my life. We rarely talk and it's a good thing.
Sohrleas: Your patience is straight up SAINTLY. Seriously! I get frustrated when my weaving gets a little tangled, or when my crochet gets tangled, and those have significantly fewer strands involved!! Major props to you for this!
Ashley Cheatham: I had hair down to my waist when I was depressed. My mother refused to let me cut it cause “girls should have long hair”. After three years of begging I got it cut. Mom said 8-10” and the lady “thankfully” heard 18”. I lost so much dead hair and it really helped me get healthy.
Axl Wood: From ages 8-14 I struggled severely with keeping up with my long hair, especially with the depression I was dealing with. My mom would untangle the matted hair everyso often when I just couldn't hide the mats anymore. Around 12-13 I reached a point she couldn't help me I couldn't brush my hair out anymore properly. A month after I turned 14 I visited my great grandma and she did her best to help me detangle my hair. We gave up and all decided to cut my hair. However my mom and grandma came with me and my mom spent a hour outside to a Supercuts brushing our my hair roughly so the hairdresser could keep my hair as long as possible. Though I had to cut my hair off it's fine to me and the supercuts hairdresser was very very kind to me even though I still had alot of mats in my hair as she cut around them. Truly I am grateful we cut my hair short instead of trying to untangle the mats. Un tangling my hair would not have fixed my depression and the problem I had of not properly taking care of my hair. I cut my hair actively to this day. And I take care of it. My depression isn't gone but getting my hair cut short the first time helped me so so much in getting that problem out for the way
Dia Hancock: I just started following you the other day and this video almost mad me shed a thug tear between her story, how supportive you were, and how great her hair looked at the end. Thanks for being awesome!
Carpe Collum: I really love that you took the time to gently detangle all that hair instead of just cutting it off. This effort you put into this woman, taking the hard way and listening to her, talking to her and encouraging her… I think she needed that. I think we all need that sometimes. You are really kind to her and that is not a given sadly. Stay awesome!
Aquatic Sausage: I just love what you do. I’ve been dealing with bipolar depression for 10 years now & it’s destroyed my teeth so I understand what this woman is feeling. I’m so glad people like you exist in this world. Your work breathes life back into your clients & they must feel so good walking out with a fresh start.
Stacy Reyes: You really just did MAGIC on her hair and I’m sure it meant more than a simple confidence boost for her. I love your content ❤️
Kewtie: Seeing her freed, cut, and styled hair made me want to cry! I can't imagine how relieving that must be to have the choice to do your hair, look nice, and feel good about yourself after so long!
i8urcookie 33: I love that it doesn’t matter what the problem is or who has the problem or their skin color, you help all women get that confidence back and that they feel liberated! This is how we all should be!
Lucius Zenosyne: this is an amazing video, you’re such a wonderful person for helping her out. my hair is very thick, it was rlly long hair when i was a kid, and it would get tangled every day. it got really bad when i was 12/13, and since i was dealing w depression, it got out of control. i wouldn’t brush out tangles for weeks, and while it never got matted (luckily) it was still bad. what hurt more and ultimately fuelled it was people making fun of me for it. even when i was able to finally deal with it, the cycle would start back up when people said that i had “finally brushed my hair”. depression is an illness and it stops you from taking care of yourself, i don’t get how some people can’t understand that. i ended up cutting my hair very short 4 years ago (because i wanted to, and it suits me better lol) but i’ll never forget any of that. i really wish i had known someone like you back then, since I think i would’ve been able to get help for it and not gone through that painful cycle so many times. you never know what someone’s going through or what they’re dealing with, but when it manifests so physically it’s a sign to treat them with extra kindness.
Jiya: I’ve gone through this too. From some months I never saw the point of combing my hair and it was curly long hair. And I always kept it in a bun unbothered to open it. And when I found it was matted I kinda panicked cuz I thought if I told my mom she would make me bald, but after a week I told her and she was very supportive. So we didn’t use any shampoo, I had seen a comment on a video of how a girl got her matted hair detangled, so me and my mom did that, we took vegetable oil and put it in my hair (first the hair should be a little wet) then after applying she took scissors and cut little parts to loosen my hair so then she could comb it easily. but I had 3 small parts that were very matted in my hair, so the first one got off in a day and I was very happy although I lost a lot of hair ( dw it’s nothing to worry about) then the second day we went through the same process and the 2nd one got off in 30 mins, the last one was a big headache. So my mom cut that part to the length of my neck, then she could do it easily. And after a lot of time we did it and my hair was very uneven and I DID LOSE A LOT OF HAIR SO DONT PANIC IF YOU DO. so we went to a salon and I got my hair cut even. Now I comb my hair everyday and my head feels lighter . Hope this helped you. REMEMBER IF ITS MATTED A LOT IT WILL TAKE A LOT OF DAYS TO GET IT DETANGLED BUT MINE WASNT THAT MUCH SO IT WAS DETANGLED IN 2 DAYS. REMEMBER TO BE PATIENT. Hope this helped you ❤️
memomorph: You saved that girl’s life!! She looks amazing and hopefully she’ll feel that way, too
🌸Sweetheart Whispers🌸: She must feel SOOO good now! You did awesome! Look at her hair! T^T THANKS FOR DOING THAT! My hair never got tangled but recently it does. I always find a huge ball of tangled crows nest on the right side of my head. I stopped brushing my hair cuz it was so hard to do and then it got worse then I went crying to my mom and she detangled it so fast I was surprised. Ever since, I always ask for moms help.
Marie Wintersteen: As a former addict, I am so proud of you! Ok, we still have depression to deal with but we'll make it! Keep up with the goals!
Tsukareta: my hair always seems to get worse after every brush. it’s been happening since before i was 10, and seeing you do this for other people is amazing! it’s really inspiring me to do my own hair :) the matted part currently has been there for over a year, and i think it’s finally time i’m able to scratch my scalp without my fingers getting caught. i totally wish i could come see you but i’m in high school and live too far away. thank you for doing what you do!
Cato: That took a while to click in my head. I shave my hair all the time, but when she said, that she wouldn't give up that, because it already took so much I understood. Depression took a lot of me and I will readjust and get some of it back. Thank you both for beeing lovely, brave, strong persons!
Dyanne Ostlind: It's wonderful to see how much love and compassion and joy you have! Thank you for helping this woman! <3
ACucumberGrowingOutOfTheGround: I have been struggling with pretty severe depression as well as other mental health issues for about 4 years. For about 2-3 years I was basically bed ridden. I also wasn't brushing my hair and it kept getting matted in the place I would lie down, but i was so lucky to have my mother who would sit me down for around 30mins to 1hr 30mins everytime my hair got really bad. I would be in a lot of pain but I loved getting my hair back. Now I'm going out, I have a job and I'm back in education, and I adore my hair. I lost about 4 years of my life to horrific depression and it genuinely makes me tear up to think of all the things I missed, I still struggle everyday but I always go out, and go to work and take care of myself, which is something I'm insanely proud of, hence why I'm sharing this! Edit: genuinely thank you so much for all the kind messages, ill continue to respond in the comments but i just wanted to say the support from everyone has made me so happy, im crying tears of joy right now. Im proud of everyone and I'm happy for anyone to share their stories (its quite cathartic) ill try my best to reply.
Kewtie: I love how positive and respectful you are rather than dramatizing the whole thing. Also, hopefully she gets a chiropractor because I can't imagine how that has affected her neck having the lump there. That'll also help her feel so much better. ❤️
Megs301: Over calming addiction was the hardest thing I ever had to do. Very proud of you girl! You did it
missanne: You are amazing! What you're doing is so important. A woman's hair is part of her identity. I can't believe nobody else would even try to work with her hair. I bet you made a really profound difference in her life. I've been living with depression for about 17 years now. I've had my fair share of rough patches. There were times I would go months without bothering to even try to take care of myself, because I didn't care about myself, and then feel immense shame when someone would comment on it and just hate myself more. I can't imagine the impact meeting somebody like you would have had on me. You are an angel. ❤
L Zal: She looks fabulous! You are a blessing for sure helping her and others!
Lucy Till: I hope you realise the change you make to these girls lives. Your incredible! From someone who has gone through this, you make girls feel like woman again ! You give them there confidence again! You allow them to be able to look in a mirror again . The list goes on. I wish there were more people like you xxx
Shawn Sambucci: Awww you sharing in her joy as you cut the last little piece was so cute. And the fact that you listened and let her tell her truth was amazing. As soon as the matted hair was gone I see the weight of the past lift off of her. THIS IS WOMEN SUPPORTING WOMEN AND IM HERE FOR IT!!!
D'eva D'ethereal: Been there when I was dealing with serious health issues and was bedridden for almost two years, after surgery and finishing treatment I was finally able to do something about it. It took me two days and a whole bottle of conditioner to comb it out completely. When it was over, there was a lot of breakage, splitting, and a plastic shopping bag full of the wads I pulled out. Felt a lot better though, I washed it twice and then went to the salon to get it cut short so it'll hopefully never happen again.
Amanda Weinstein: Thank you so much for bringing us on these journeys ❤️ it’s really humbling and special to be a part of such a beautiful transformation
Christina Palafox: I'm a recovering addict as well-just got an apartment after three years of homelessness. I'm physically and mentally disabled. It's true, like the client said in the beginning- you do not get encouragement often for doing what society says you should do....but for some of us, doing what we are told we should is so difficult it's nearly impossible. As the stylist says, you never know what someone is going through- you also don't know how hard those things are for some people. Be kind.
Alycia Geiss: so happy she was able to save your hair for you! i am 3 yrs sober so i understand your struggle and am very proud of you. it can be very rough dealing with all the health/cosmetic problems we caused ourselves in our addiction. glad theres wonderful people out there willing to put in the extra work to help someone like that. your hair looks beautiful now! congrats
Charlie B: Girl you are awesome! Thank you so much for helping this lady. She looks amazing and finally free. This world needs more kind souls like you! You are one of a kind ! ♀️♀️
Denzel Allison: Watching this while detangling my 1 month knotted hair ❤️ helps so much
Courtney B-H: Thank God for people like you! It's hard enough going through a hard time but being able to come out of it and still feel beautiful.... priceless!
Naomi Sherred: Hi - I just wanted to say a huge thank you to you - I found your channel by luck after my daughter ended up with a massive matt in her hair and I was looking for advice on how to get it out and thanks to you I managed it (took 5 hrs mind but I thought I'd have to cut it out so so grateful to you!). Thank you for being such an awesome human being and helping so many peeps including me
Sonja Crowell: Congratulations. So proud of you. You gave me hope for my daughter’s recovery. Thank you. Love the hair do as well. ❤️
Shirley Cole: I absolutely love what you do - you are a beam of light and loveliness in this world. I am trying to grow my inherited fine fair hair and I have noticed I am getting loads of knots which hurt when I comb. The transformation for this lady was fantastic. God bless you xxx
Bill Ross: I just love this! You're awesome for doing this in the first place, and you seem like you do an amazing job at it too!
myssy eyde: I remember having to gently pull out knots in my best friends hair bc she was too depressed to brush her hair at age 16, I’m so happy that there’s a service that can do this now for people that are isolated or can’t get help from their friends
MzBilly Bee: First I want to say that I'm sooooooooo proud of her, she just conquered alot and the fact that she came to you, shows that she was ready for help. Everyone is definitely different, but we all are going thru something and we all heal differently as well. I dealt with serious health issues since I was 5,andvp having to take medicine all my life, and that was something that made me develop depression. So when I see it or hear about someone going thru these things, I can truly relate. Every comment that I read that's why been dealing with that problem, my heart goes to everyone. We got this!
Bandler Ching: I hope she feels so beautiful now!! We as women tend to be very emotionally attached to our hair. When we feel messy inside, it shows. Proud of this mama for getting her life back ❤️
Jacqueline Culler: The joy and hope you give your clients is really inspiring ❤️
Marli: From your only option being bald to this end product. I'm crying at how amazing of an act this is, you are amazing, and I wish her all the best ❤
Kat: I have extremely thick red hair and when I was about 10 I got a rat's nest in the back (not as big as this one, but it was still quite large). Everyone at school, including my teachers, teased me about it until my mom decided to comb it out. The entire time she was berating and beittling me about it. I was a kid! I didn't know how to take care of my hair. it was a tramatic experience and caused me to hate my hair or anything related to it. I wish there were more empathetic people like you.
Steph Ricardo: I'm blown away by the work you do, and I'm so proud of your clients.
sopraltenass13: Hadassa, you really did change her life! I'm so happy to see someone spreading this level of kindness. Thank you!
Carolyn Soliz: Love this, showing the true issues with fighting an addiction. The feeling of accomplishment does a lot for one’s mental health! Ps love your an open ear for these lovely people to talk and feel safe about scary situations. Much love
fesh go gulululu: Awww this is so heart warming! I’m glad you were able to help her out her hair is incredible✨✨✨✨
RÓSÈ OF THE DAY: I wish I had known of you when I was going through the darkest time of my life. I spent six years of my life locked in my room. I didn’t go outside. Not even out to the kitchen unless I was certain no one was home. I was so depressed I didn’t take care of myself, physically, mentally, or hygienically. I didn’t have the energy to shower, to even COMB my hair. It got so bad that my entire head turned into a rats nest and I felt so helpless I assumed the only option was to shave it off. I did everything to try and untangle it. Every diy at home treatment I could find I was determined to get that rats nest untangled. Nothing worked. But I desperately wanted to keep my hair, I didn’t want to lose it all. So I spent a week and a half combing through my hair with a rat tail comb until it was untangled enough I could use a normal brush to do the rest. I haven’t allowed myself to go that far again and I finally pulled myself out from that deep depression and got a job and began spending as little time at home as I could. I’m grateful to myself for not giving up but I just wish I’d have had someone like you there to make me feel human when I felt my lowest.
Evie Fogg: You’re such an Angel for taking such sweet care of this woman and helping her regain confidence. ❤️ what a true act of service looks like
Vinicius Araújo: I'm obssessed with your work, you change people's life. Having their hair back it's gigantic. Love from Brazil
Aubrey Beardsley: This happened to me in 6th grade, and my dad was sweet enough to work through it all and we managed to get the mat out :)
Taco Bell: I can't tell u how proud I am for her!! I'm so happy there's people out there for this kinda stuff!! We need more people like her she's so kind.
AlexZandria: That was ALOT of work. You’re so kind to help people in this way. Thank you for showing love to others. We need more people like you on this earth.
K Karli: Thank you for helping people realize their worth and showing love to them!
SomeRandomFangirl: I've been going through a rough patch with my depression, so I ended up with a lot of matting. But, this video gave me the confidence I needed to finally getting around to brushing it out properly. I plan on taking better care of it moving forward.
Virginia Matulich: Having your hair brushed by someone else feels so good. It's a nurturing, simple thing to do for a person.
Kat Welch: When I first met my boyfriend's grandmother she had thigh length hair she wore in two braids. She had become less aware of what she was doing when brushing and was wrapping the hair around her brush and the middle back was actually like felt. I spent the whole weekend detangling her hair. Because I am tender headed I was very gentle and she never protested my combing like she did from others.
Gisele •: OH MY GOD! That end result was absolutely STUNNING!!! Literally changed that woman’s life
MyVibes22: If I could’ve “liked” this a hundred time I would’ve. The positive energy and a safe space to work through the emotions with the change. WOW.
Aniretak Rose: I can't imagine how awesome it feels getting your hair curled after it being so matted for so long! It must be so freeing
Elaine Ojeda: You're truly an angel to help those who may be struggling for whatever the reason and give them their dignity back
Bostons & Babies: I can't tell you how many times I've sat and cried on my bathroom floor while brushing out matted hair because I hadn't taken care of myself for weeks. I was too embarrassed to ask anyone for help, so it's wonderful to see someone being kind and compassionate and understanding. Having mental health issues comes with a lot of stigma and you make these ladies feel loved with your care.
Headache Chronicles: I've got several disabilities, and especially headaches, and not only do I understand how this happens, but I can't imagine how painful that large mat must have been. I'm so glad you're bringing light to this and helping people.
PlumDutchess: Amazing result! She must feel so much lighter, literally and figuratively. I can't imagine how that feels having that ball tugging on your scalp.
rianneashleigh808: I would love to do this for other people. This is amazing
BB J: Subscribed because I need to see more of this sort of kindness in the world <3 you sounded very warm and compassionate the whole time!
That One Lonely Potato: This is the first video I've ever watched from you and I instantly subscribed. You're so sweet, kind, and never once judged this woman for the things she had gone through and the reason why she had her hair matted. I struggle with depression. And it's incredibly hard to deal with. I've never had matted hair because of it since I have such short hair, but I understand the damage depression can do to you. She was so kind and respectful, this was a beautiful transformation to watch. Thank you for what you do.<3
TheCubanchica250: That's amazing, I would have given up if it was me, the task looked so daunting. You deserve a lot of credit for what you do.
Enya Grew: This is beautiful. Her Hair looks so amazing even you finished, healthy and glowy. She must feel so much better now.
Gavin Reed: I remember I used to have knots this bad growing up, it was pure hell I know exactly how she feels and how GOOD it was getting it all out and off
kaylashalaylaaaaa: I love the comment section is full of amazingly supportive, encouraging and compassionate women who all seem to completely understand what it's like to have and hold pain... all because of one single woman who decided to do something good and look at what she promoted... such love!
angelmushahf: Aaaaw her hair look so nice at the end. And she seemed so happy I hope to find a hair stylist like you who genuinely cares for the clients hair needs.
Lou Tenant: My hair was exactly like this when I was bedridden with depression. Even though it's been years since, the bottom of my hair continues to dread up in the same spot if I skip a day without brushing it. I remember I would spend hours grabbing my hair and pulling it apart just to get a brush through. Bad thing to do, I know, but feeling the back of my neck through my hair felt so awesome afterwards.
Kat’s Book reviews: I absolutely love that you do what you do. I have had times when I have been in bed sick and my hair has matted in days. Then it kills my arms to try and brush it out for hours.
