14 Aug Hairdresser Helps Teen Suffering With Severe Depression, And People Are Touched

With the rise in awareness of depression and mental health, we are seeing more and more brilliant stories regarding people performing great deeds for those that are in need, and we have another lovely one to report on today.

Depression can affect people in a variety of different ways, whether it’s becoming a recluse and giving up caring about your appearance, or seeking solace in retail therapy and exercise, it can impact our lives drastically. The effect it can have on us was seen first hand by a hairdresser in Iowa, USA, when a 16-year-old girl sat down in her chair.

Hairdresser Kayley Olsson, says that the teenager came into her salon as she was returning to school and needed to get some photos taken. However, the girl suffered from depression and hadn’t brushed her hair for months, so turned to Kayley for help.

The girl’s hair was a matted mess of locks, tangles and knots and would require extensive work to fix. Taking to Facebook to describe the experience, Kayley said: “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!”
