Young Amish Woman Transforms Into A Beautiful Model After A Gorgeous Makeover

Oct 26, 2018

The Amish are "plain people." They don't wear flashy clothes and tend to live separately from us. A lot of Amish traditions can seem funny or old-fashioned to us. Sarah was a 21-year-old Amish woman who loved her lifestyle, but also wanted a change.

Sarah's biggest wish was to style her hair. Thankfully, Theodore Leaf was available to make those dreams come true!

Theodore works for Glamour magazine. He's a stylist with years of experience. Sarah was a very different situation for him, but Theodore is more than up to the challenge! Glamour has a show called "Bad Hair Day." People nominate a woman to get a style makeover.

If she's selected, Theodore will completely transform the lucky woman's hair.

Sarah didn't even know that she had been nominated! She noticed a bunch of strangers with cameras approaching her inn. That's when Sarah realized what was happening. Her expression changed from one of confusion to shock and delight. It suddenly dawned on her that she was the new makeover subject.

Sarah explained the Amish way of life. You have to "dress plain" and women always have to wear their hair under a cap. This is part of the Amish emphasis on modesty. Sarah told the camera people that her life is often very boring.

The show brought out a full-length mirror. Sarah looked at herself, then carefully took off her cap. She unclipped her barrettes and shook her head. All of her beautiful hair came tumbling free. Theodore and his team had't even guessed that Sarah had so much hair!

Sarah was on "Rumspringa," which is an Amish custom for young adults. It's when they have to choose if they want to stay Amish or not. Sarah had the freedom to literally "let her hair down." You can experiment with your style. Thing is, Sarah had never experimented this much.

Sarah sat in Theodore's stylist chair, in front of that full-length mirror. You can tell that she was nervous. After all, she was about to do something pretty major to her appearance.

The makeover was made complete with some subtle lip color. Sarah was finally ready to face the cameras - and her waiting friends and family. Everyone was very excited to see Sarah's transformation.

The reveal was perfect. Theodore took off a lot of Sarah's length and added bouncy curls. It showed that Sarah was always beautiful: now it was just even easier to see.

What do you think of her transformation? She is beautiful but she looks even more stunning after the makeover. Have you ever gotten a drastic hair cut that changed your look entirely?
