A young man who has been bald since his teenage years has become unrecognizable after his sister cut his hair.
Lindsay Richards shared a video on her TikTok account in which she gives her brother a makeover, writing, “I can’t believe he finally let me do it!”
The 21-year-old’s incredible transformation, which saw him go from having no hair at all on his head and long locks on the sides, to a short haircut at the back and sides, completely covering the bald spot.
The boy, who had been wearing a bucket hat every day since high school to hide his severe hair loss, seemed thrilled with his new haircut, as did the 6.7 million people who watched the video.

The footage shows her brother sitting in the living room with a concerned look on his face as his sister says, “I can’t believe he finally let me do it!”
She humbly claims that she is ‘not a professional’ but that she just wanted to give him back some of his confidence.
After making the back and sides much shorter, Lindsay began working around her brother’s ears with clippers. “He looks terrified,” she said. “We were both nervous after this part, but we trusted the process.”
She then gets to work with the bleach, captioned ‘trying not to panic’ as the duo move on to the next phase.
“It’s Sid from Toy Story,” Lindsay joked as she showed off the finished product.
As expected, the transformation was met with a massive response on social media, with nearly 12,000 comments on the video, most of whom were shocked by how “handsome” the young man was.
