A young man who had suffered from a bald head since his youth is unrecognizable after his sister cuts his hair.
Lindsay Richards shared a video on her TikTok account of herself giving her little brother a makeover with the caption, “I can’t believe he’s finally letting me do this!”
The 21-year-old’s incredible transformation saw him go from hairless on top of his head and long locks on the sides to a short haircut on the sides and back that completely covered the bald spot.
The boy, who had worn a bucket hat every day since high school to hide his severe hair loss, seemed thrilled with his new hairstyle, as did the 6.7 million people who saw the video.

The incredible transformation shows how the 21-year-old went from having hairless hair on top of his head and long locks on the sides to a short haircut on the sides and back that completely covered the bald spot.
Lindsay Richards (back) shared a video on her TikTok account of herself giving her little brother a makeover with the caption: “I can’t believe he finally let me do this!”
The boy, who has worn a bucket hat every day since high school to hide his significant hair loss, seemed thrilled with his new hairstyle, as did the 6.7 million people who watched the video.
In the footage, her brother sits in the living room with a worried look on his face while his sister says, “I can’t believe he finally let me do this!”
She modestly claims that she is “not a professional” but just wants to give him back some of his self-confidence.
After significantly trimming the back and sides, Lindsay began using the clippers to trim her brother’s ears. “He looks scared,” she said. “We were both nervous after that part, but trusted the process.”
She then goes in with the bleach, saying “try not to panic” as the duo begins the next phase.
“It’s like Sid from Toy Story,” Lindsay joked as she showed the final result.
As expected, social media went wild over the transformation, with nearly 12,000 comments appearing under the video, most of which expressed shock at how “handsome” the young man was.
