DISTURBING Matted hair TRANSFORMATION for Young Man (Satisfying Results)

[@bishopcoleman]

Damn there's a lot of love in these comments! I appreciate all the kind words and people wishing me well. For the people curious about my dread journey, I'll be dropping a vid about that soon. Huge shout out to big bro Ken for getting me right with the cut! Love💙💙

[@gkunine72]

Sick cut bro

[@the4thken]

My guy, Thank you for trusting me bro

[@Sammsy1126]

The process was art. The poetry was beyond. The shape up, the pageantry, the fade, the strip locked highs and vast lows of the Passion filled cut. The art of the scissor sway left and right. The enhanced design the poetic enhances are... just beautiful. The faith.. the tone.. the masterpiece of the mastery. The 4th Ken. The 1st Cut. Peace.

[@alanbennett5071]

My father was a barber for over 50 years, with a break during the war while he fought overseas (though still cutting his fellow soldiers’ hair for cigarettes). His father and grandfather were also barbers, going back to at least the 1870s. It is a much misunderstood trade, requiring a lot of skill and patience. It also needs a sympathetic ear and a level of kindness. I remember as a child watching my father carry a legless veteran of the Great War up the steps and into his shop to give him a haircut and shave. He used to say that they stuck to the style they had when they had been young men, the Boer War veterans different from the Great War veterans, and the Second World War veterans like my father all requiring very different techniques and styles. I didn’t realize how many people he had touched until the day of his funeral. Keep at it and keep changing lives! Everyone deserves the chance to face the world with dignity.

[@sheilamartinez204]

Big Big props to your Father. I am a pacifist however I hold the greatest and highest respect for men and women who will be willing to fight and possibly give up their lives to protect people that they don't even know. My Father and uncles all fought in WW2. I have good friends that fought in Vietnam. I believe anything that a veteran needs should be provided. Everyone from the richest to the poorest person have been protected by these faceless heroes and heroines. I hope everyone that comes into your Father's shop knows that they are being serviced by a Great Man.

Wow, what a transformation! His features, especially his eyes, stand out after the cut. He looks younger, too! Great job!!

most people wear locs because they love them not because they are depress. locs are beautiful when you know how to take care of them. Also, many people wear them for spiritual reasons.

[@fish871]

He is so handsome. Loved the smile at the end. I love the respect you gave to his locks by cutting one at a time. You exhibited patience, gentleness, calmness and professional. Thoroughly enjoyed watching the evolution from locks to new hair style. Amazing job.

This was great. I did this for a friend many years ago. He got in trouble with the law and his family ranted and raved until he accepted his locks had to go. So all the friends on the block made a night of it. We lit candles, someone said a prayer and he had a photographer. And we cut the locks one by one. The skill shown here is excellent and the young man seemed like he felt a new lease on life. Well done.

You do take the braids down and redo them. It is then that you scrub the scalp. I mean no one keeps braids 6 years without changing them.
