The state of depression should be dealt with seriousness and extreme caution, as it’s something which gradually swallows up a person’s confidence and will-power. The victims lose their identity and strength and slowly start feeling themselves to be worthless for even small tasks, such as combing hair, just like this teenager.
A hair stylist Kayley Olsen shared a heart-touching story on Facebook about a 16-yr girl who was fighting with severe depression and asked Kayley to shave her hair completely. Olsen was moved by her state and made up mind of helping her little client in the best possible way.
She made an attempt to fill the girl with confidence and gave her courage to live life once again. Instead of just shaving her hair which was not combed for years, she gave the frizzy and unmanaged hair an adorable look by spending 13 hours on them.
And here we have the unexpected result!
Can’t believe it! It’s looking damn perfect!
Kayley Olsen shared her story on Facebook while keeping the girl’s identity anonymous for obvious reasons with the intent to spread awareness about severe consequences of depression!
Here’s Her Facebook Post:
“Today I had one of the hardest experiences with my client who I am keeping anonymous, I had a 16 year girl come in with who has been dealing with severe depression for a few years now. She got to the point where she felt so down and so worthless she couldn’t even brush her hair, she told me she only got up to use the restroom. She starts back at school in a few weeks but she has her school pictures today. When she walked in she told us just cut it all off I can’t deal with the pain of combing it out, she called herself worthless for it. It honestly broke my heart and we tried everything we could to keep this child’s hair for her! At the end of the day I want this to be a lesson to people. MENTAL HEALTH is a thing, it effects people all around the world and of all ages! PARENTS take it serious don’t just push your kids off and tell them to get over something they legitimately can’t. A CHILD should NEVER feel so worthless to not even want to brush their hair.
After being here 8 hours yesterday and 5 hours today we finally made this beautiful girl smile and feel like she IS worth something! Her last words to me was,
“I will actually smile for my schools pictures today, you made me feel like me again” ❤❤”
Kudos!
We all need to make such attempts to make life worth living for those who have lost its importance!
