Getting a haircut can be a truly invigorating experience. At times, when you have allowed your grow extremely long, you can feel kind of overloaded and in a rut. For most of us, all we are in need of is a new cut to bring back our excellent vibes! Well, that wasn’t the situation for this Minnesota mother, who has never ever experience the freing feeling of chopping your lengthy locks.

Until now!

For the past Twenty Years of her life, this woman religiously wore her hairstyle in a long braid that fell down her spine; it was so long from years of growth that it reached almost to her waist. Finally, after two decades of her signature braid and even MORE decades of steering clear of haircuts completely, she chose to take the plunge.

And to give her the best before-and-after improvement, she turned to the Makeover Guy, Christopher Hopkins.

When she initially appears in the studio Chris (and all of us at home!) can’t help but admire her beautiful, 100% natural locks! Rolling down past her waist, her dirty blonde hair has some major volume to it and it falls elegantly into wonderful natural waves. But despite how fantastic her hair is, the length and volume from all those decades of allowing it grow are overwhelming her modest frame, essentially weighing her down.

They decided upon a shoulder-length cut and settle in to get started. Before you know it, just one of the hair dressers takes her scissors to the woman’s braid! She hacks it right over the braided section and then holds the hair up victoriously to show her their progress.
