Depression sometimes makes even the most basic tasks, like brushing your hair in the morning, seem impossible. When a struggling 16-year-old girl came into an Iowa salon with tangled, matted hair, she told stylist Kayley Olsson to “just cut it all off.” Instead, Olsson did a good deed by working a record-breaking two days and 13 hours to restore both the young lady’s hair and her confidence.
20-year-old Olsson, who works at Capri Waterloo salon, shared before and after photos of the incredible transformation on Facebook after completing the landmark makeover on August 8th, and the entire Internet was shaken. The post went viral, with more than 75 thousand shares and almost 200 thousand likes on this beautiful example of selflessly helping others. Most importantly, the young girl’s new hairstyle was ready just in time for her back-to-school pictures!
On a more serious note, if you’re concerned that someone close to you may be experiencing depression or other mental health issues, their physical appearance may say even more than their words. Lack of personal hygiene and self-care is a serious symptom of chronic depression, and for women and girls, this often includes hair care. It’s amazing how something as simple as a new haircut can do so much for a person’s state of mind! See the amazing results for yourself below, and have your faith in humanity restored.

It's these sort of things that help to restore my faith in humanity
I completely agree. Everyday I lose my faith in humanity but then I read some bored panda post and *boom* faith in humanity restored
I agree... We are falling further and further everyday. It's so good to see this happening.
Okay, I understand that humanity is an abomination of the sorts and all that, but saying that you're losing faith in humanity will not restore your faith. We all have to work together to help reverse the cruel ways of the world. We should no longer sit down on our computer desks and write about the problems of society but work together to fix it.
You said it sister, what a compassionate person****
faith for....what? i'm not trying to be rude... i'm just curious.

You should not lose your my faith in humanity, just your faith in f#$@ing politicians!
Why is there always someone who tries to make everything about politics?
It's incredible how one person wishing to help another person can create such a huge ripple effect of warmth and happiness. Helping one person gives hope to other people too.
It just goes to show that good things can happen and good people do exist.
