Hairdresser Makes Shocking Discovery After Girl Refuses to Comb Her Hair for Years –

Published

She’d been cutting and styling hair for the past four years. Now she was sure she’d seen everything her profession had to offer. But then she met her. She welcomed her into the salon with a smile, seeing another mess of hair waiting for her to conquer. But as she began listening to her story, she realized she might have bitten off more than she could chew.

Maria started working as a hairdresser well before she finished high school. She’d always had a knack for making people smile with their looks, and with hairdressing, she could do just that. She started helping out at her aunt’s salon for a quick buck in her senior year. Going to college, she knew she wanted to focus on hairdressing.

She had no idea how much impact it would have on her life. Two years later, Maria found employment as a hairstylist in her city. Her ultimate dream was to open her salon, where she could explore all that hairdressing had to offer. She’d worked for four years, seeing all the good and bad that came with her profession. She was confident she’d seen it all until that fateful Saturday morning.

That Saturday was a busy one for Maria and her colleagues. The salon was packed, with each stylist booked throughout the weekend. But as Maria was finishing up with one of her regulars, she noticed a teenage girl peeking through the windows. She paid her no mind, given that many people peeped in to see what was happening inside the salon. But what the girl did made Maria set aside her comb.

The girl, dressed in a pair of gray sweats and an oversized hoodie, stepped into the salon. She ran her blue eyes across the crowd, her hood over her head and her fingers fidgeting by her sides. Maria could tell she was nervous. She set her clippers aside and faced her with a smile, but the girl turned around and stormed out of the shop. “Excuse me, Lucy,” Maria apologized to her client and weaved through the busy salon into the streetREAD FULL STORY HERE>>>CLICK HERE TO CONTINUE READING>>>

 

“Hey,” she called out. The girl was almost turning a corner. “Come back,” Maria said. The girl stopped, turning around. There was apparent fear in her eyes, and her lips trembled. She looked away from Maria.

“Please come back,” Maria repeated, her lips curling again. She needed to know if the girl was all right. “What’s your name?” Maria asked when the girl walked back to her. The girl mumbled her name, and Maria shared hers. “Do you want to come in?” she asked. “We have milkshakes and great stories.”

Although the girl nodded and entered the shop, Maria could tell she was still uneasy. She escorted her through the many chairs, clients, and stylists. When the girl lowered her hood, Maria knew why she’d run away.

“Cut it all,” the girl said as Maria stared at her hair. It was matted and messy, with thick blobs that hadn’t seen a comb in a long while.

“Why do you want me to cut it?” Maria asked, already seeing that she’d have to clear her schedule for the rest of the day.

“Because it’s worthless,” said the girl. “I’m worthless.” Her eyes grew wet with tears. “Please cut it all.”

“Let’s take it slow,” Maria said soothingly. “We’ll start with a comb first, really work through the motions.” She broke a sweet smile. “We’ll use the clippers as a last resort, okay?” The girl looked at her quizzically but nodded.

“Why do you care?” she asked. What she said next made Maria’s heart rip into two. “Nobody ever cares,” the girl shared. She told Maria her life story, explaining how her mom passed away a few months ago. She’d been falling apart ever since, drowning in the darkness that was seemingly ever-present in her life. There were times she felt so down, neglected, and worthless that she couldn’t even brush her hair.

But why did she wish to cut it? “School’s around the corner,” said the girl. She’d need a new photo for the semester, and she couldn’t deal with the pain of combing her hair all out.

Listening to her story broke Maria’s heart. She cleared her entire weekend, squeezing in her clients to some colleagues. She sat with the girl throughout the day, powering through hours of combing and cleaning. Could she stop her from cutting her locks? READ FULL STORY HERE>>>CLICK HERE TO CONTINUE READING>>>

As the day ended, Maria turned the girl around in the mirror. They’d reduced what was once a mass of matted curls into a more manageable lump of tangled hair. The girl smiled her first smile of the day, but Maria knew they still had more work to do. She smiled back and asked the girl if she could return the next day. Maria rarely opened the salon on Sunday mornings, but this was a special occasion. She wasn’t sure the girl would show up, but as she pushed the door open, she saw her reflection behind her.

“Come in,” she chirped, ushering the girl into the salon. The girl dressed differently than the previous day. She’d swapped her sweatpants and hoodie for a flowing blue dress, and her dark hair was free. Did she seem happier? Maria would find out.

Maria picked up where she left off with the girl’s hair. She asked her what length she was comfortable with and her preferred styles. Although the girl was reluctant to talk sometimes, Maria thought she was exciting and lovely to talk to. They spent hours together. Maria found her to be delightful and was enjoying the work until she noticed a problem. While most of the huge blobs and matted portions of her hair had been fixed, there was still a lot of damage near the scalp. Maria frowned as she wondered how to proceed. They had made so much progress that Maria worried that the girl might slip back into her sadness and feel hopeless again if she mentioned it.

She came up with a plan instead. Maria knew she had to buy some time to make sure she could come up with a better solution. If she stared at the girl’s head for too long without working, she might get suspicious. Maria’s mind raced as she tried to think of ways to prolong the situation while she could work out what to do. Her fear was that if she couldn’t find a suitable fix, she’d end up having to resort to cutting after all.

Maria may have been successful in the hairstyling profession because she was talented. However, with Maria, her customers knew she rendered another service that was priceless. With her older clients, Maria always felt comfortable, and her added services flowed naturally. However, the girl’s issues and the weight she carried made it a tricky situation to navigate. Maria knew that if she could get the girl to open up a little more, she could look for common ground with her. She desperately wanted to help her more. She had proven easily scared before, so Maria knew she’d have to approach with caution. She took a deep breath and began asking her some questions to see how it went.

Maria was itching to learn more about her. She obviously carried around a lot on her shoulders, especially for someone so young. It pained Maria to know that the poor girl was going through so much. It was a lot to take for anyone in her position. However, Maria also had a personal reason for wanting to help. Her life hadn’t been easy for Maria either. She had grown up the hard way with very little money. She’d grown up needing to help her mom pay the bills for herself and three siblings. Leaving school at such a young age was a difficult choice. Maria had once had dreams and ambitions but was forced to put them aside for her family.

Then things got even harder. Maria’s mother had struggled through life. She faced obstacles throughout her life. When she was just 22, Maria’s father abandoned her and the children. Her mom had found a way to keep the family afloat, often working three jobs to make ends meet. Life seemed to just be turning a corner for the family, but then tragedy struck. Maria was only 17 when her mom got sick. Losing her mom to illness at such a young age was the most difficult thing Maria had ever endured. It was many years ago, but she still felt the pain daily.

Maria realized now why she had felt an instant connection to the girl as she stared at the damaged roots of her hair. She knew she had to help her somehow. Maria changed tack at that moment. Rather than asking the girl to open up and risk her feeling uncomfortable, Maria decided to speak about her past instead. While the girl was occupied hearing about Maria’s own tragic childhood, Maria used this time to figure out a solution for her hair.

As she spoke, an idea soon came to her. Maria realized that the last clumps of matted hair were too small and delicate to extract without hurting the girl. However, if left that way, they could also grow out and mess up her hair again. Maria realized that if she could delicately apply a relaxer treatment to those portions, it would untangle the hair for her. It wouldn’t be easy, though. Maria knew that relaxers contained harmful chemicals. They weren’t meant to be applied directly to the scalp, so she’d have to be extremely careful.

Getting together some tools of her trade, she mixed some of the treatment and began carefully applying it to the affected areas. It was a stressful situation. Maria kept the girl engaged in conversation as she executed her plan with the delicacy of a surgeon. Luckily, being so good at what she did, Maria could work in the relaxer without getting any of it on the girl’s scalp. With bated breath, she allowed it to settle and waited. At last, she saw it beginning to work. She turned the girl toward her and smiled as she told her the news.

The relaxer worked a treat and had automatically unmatted the portions of her hair that would have been too tricky to do by hand. Amazingly, after the state of her

hair when she first came in, it was now completely transformed from roots to tips. Maria told her the good news. Unexpectedly, the girl’s eyes welled up, and she began crying. Maria expected her to be happy and had no idea what was wrong. When the girl calmed down and explained, Maria was relieved. They were tears of happiness as the girl said how grateful she was. No one had ever shown her this much kindness before. Maria was ecstatic.

She finished the last bit of the marathon job. Now that the girl’s hair was beautiful and manageable again, all that was left was the styling. When she was done, the girl gasped with shock. Maria brought the girl a mirror. She trimmed the hair above the girl’s shoulders, curled the ends, and added slight shades of sandy brown to complement the girl’s golden bronze color. The girl ran a hand against her hair, sifting through the soft curls. Her lips curved ever so slightly, her eyes budding with tears. She looked up at Maria and smiled. “I’ll actually smile for my school pictures,” she said. “You made me feel like me again.”

In the end, Maria managed to get the girl’s hair back to normal and gave her a free makeover too. Brimming with renewed confidence, she was the star of picture day. After hearing Maria’s story, she and the girl became close friends. Maria spoke to her boss, and they allowed her to come to the salon after school to work as an apprentice stylist. After all she had lost in life, her makeover ended up giving her new hair and a newfound hope to change her life.

Mother Imprisoned for Shocking Baby Waterboarding and Freezer “Test”

Published

A mother from Gresham, Oregon, USA, has been sentenced to prison after waterboarding her baby and subjecting him to a chilling ordeal inside a freezer, all in a misguided attempt to test the boy’s father’s commitment to their child’s well-being.

The horrifying events unfolded when local police received a distress call about a baby being placed in a freezer at an apartment in Gresham. Officers responding to the scene were met with a chaotic and distressing scene…Click Here To Continue Reading>> …Click Here To Continue Reading>>

 

Outside the apartment, police officers heard Sharday McDonald, a 30-year-old woman, screaming at the baby’s father, making shocking statements. She yelled, “I’m about to show you real quick. You don’t want him? Let me show you about this little fing baby, I don’t fing give a f*** about.”

Later, the baby’s father showed the police a video call he had with McDonald, during which she held their son and appeared to be waterboarding him. The video depicted the baby struggling as water ran down his nose and face, causing significant concern among the officers.

McDonald was promptly arrested, and during questioning, she admitted that she performed these disturbing acts out of spite, in an attempt to see if the baby’s father truly cared. She stated that she thought subjecting their baby to waterboarding would compel him to return. READ FULL STORY HERE>>>CLICK HERE TO CONTINUE READING>>>

However, McDonald insisted that she had no intentions of causing physical harm or endangering the child’s life through drowning or freezing. Court documents suggest that she acknowledged her actions were inexcusable and motivated by a misguided desire to test her partner’s commitment to their child.

In the aftermath of the incident, police detectives consulted with a pediatrician who reviewed images of the October 2021 events. The pediatrician’s assessment revealed that the baby would not have been able to breathe with water running into his nose, and this horrific act could have resulted in life-threatening complications.

On September 19, Sharday McDonald was sentenced to 30 days in jail on charges of criminal mistreatment, tampering with a witness, and identity theft. According to Multnomah County Detention Center records, she is scheduled to be released on October 6.

This deeply disturbing case serves as a stark reminder of the need to prioritize child safety and well-being above all else and to address issues in a responsible and lawful manner, rather than resorting to harmful and dangerous methods.

My Parents Want To Know My Boyfriend’s Occupation But It’s Hard To Tell Them –

Published

on

By

When I asked about his job two years ago, he told me he was an investor. I took it literally until I asked him days later what he invested in. He laughed. “You won’t understand. Maybe later,” he said. My curiosity was piqued so for days, I pressed him to tell me what he was into. He told me he was a blogger. I asked for his blog and he later changed what he said.

I’m into bitcoin. It’s a lot complicated but it’s not a permanent job. I’m working on starting something on my own with the money I earn from Bitcoin.” I left it there knowing very well that time would do justice to the rest of the story. I visited often…Click Here To Continue Reading>> …Click Here To Continue Reading>>

 

He was mostly on his computer. Sometimes I would sit next to him and watch what he was doing. There were numbers that kept changing. I didn’t understand anything but he was doing well so I figured whatever that was was good enough. We dated for over three months before he opened up fully that he was into betting. I looked at him, wondering how betting could be a job. By the time he finished taking me through everything he had gained through betting, I was convinced he had the magic or he was a pro at what he did. He had a building project going on.

He told me everything came from betting. He had a small shop where he was selling phone accessories. He had given it out to someone to operate. That also came from betting. Where he was living was rented. A two bedroom apartment he said he rented with a friend but later the friend moved. That also came from betting. He had a beautiful car.

He said it came from one win. I knew betting wasn’t a winning game. Everyone said they lost a lot before they won once so how could he be doing so well at something everything was losing in? I spoke to friends about it. Guys who were also into betting. They said it could be real or there was some sakawa going on. The way I saw it, it couldn’t have been sakawa. He didn’t have excessive money to throw around. He didn’t live extravagantly. Just an ordinary guy going through life and making decisions that later earned money.

Though I didn’t buy the sakawa angle, I put my eyes on the floor to see if I could find something fishy. One year later, all has been well. The only thing I see is a meticulous man who is also calculative in his ways. When he wins, he shows me the cashout. When he loses, we talk about it together and insult the team that spoils the bet.

Slowly, it became a business for us rather than for him alone. He would tell me about two teams I knew nothing about and ask who would win. I wasn’t right all the time but the times I was right, we won big. I asked him to go into business with the money he had been winning. He told me he had tried that three times and failed so he was rather concentrating on his building project and maybe go into estate development later. He has big dreams.

That’s one thing I like about him. Currently, he invests in treasury bills and other soft investments here and there. The first time I took him home, it was just a flash. We didn’t spend more than five minutes there but my dad called to ask who he was. I told him he was just a friend who gave me a ride home. He didn’t believe me. He told me he looked like a good guy so I shouldn’t let him slip. The second time we went home, it was my mom who raised the flag of suspicion.

She went directly to him to ask who he was to me. He told her we were just friends but my mom insisted he was lying. She told him, “There’s a man worrying us for her hand in marriage. Are you telling me we are free to give her away?” He laughed sheepishly. My mom said, “You see I’ve caught you? We’ve been like you before so don’t think you’re smart. It’s not even a bad thing so why would you run from it?” Currently, we are at a place where I have to tell my parents the occupation of my boyfriend because we are talking about marriage. READ FULL STORY HERE>>>CLICK HERE TO CONTINUE READING>>>

My parents are very traditional. When my elder sister was about to marry, my dad visited her boyfriend at his workplace to ascertain if he was telling the truth about his occupation. It was subtle. Like, “I was around the area and remembered my in-law’s office is around the corner so I decided to pass by.” It was his way of confirming what he had been told.

He said my mom’s parents did it to him and he’s taking it from them because it’s a good thing. My boyfriend’s job is not traditional. They’ll understand if I tell them he works from home or he has his own business but they’ll like to know what goes into the business. We decided to use the phone shop but it’s too small for him to buy the kind of car he’s driving. My dad would raise questions. I told him, “I will tell him the truth. You’re not a thief.

You make money online and that’s legit.” I told my dad, “He’s an online person. He works on the internet and gets paid a good sum of money.” “Is he doing sakawa?” he asked me. “No, it’s not sakawa. This is legit. Like investing in online business. You won’t understand everything so yeah, he’s into online businesses.” My elder brother called the next day asking me, “What does your boyfriend do that you can’t explain to dad? He has asked me to talk to you about it and come and explain it to him.

I confessed to my elder brother because he and I are like that. We talk. We laugh. We have a connection. He said, “You can’t tell this to dad.” I told him, “Then dress it up for him the way he will understand it.” He replied, “If he later finds out, he will never forgive the two of us so let’s tell him the truth and use the future real estate business as a defence.” Knowing the kind of man my dad is, if I tell him the truth, that would be the end of our relationship.

He would say a man who bets doesn’t have a future. Apart from that, every good perception he has about my boyfriend would be erased, because, to him, good men don’t gamble.

I’ve been thinking about it but nothing assures me that it will be easy. Dad would exaggerate the issue. Mom will add drama to make it look like the worst sin a daughter can commit. In our world, we can shroud betting in beautiful clothes and present it as wholesome but in their world, betting is gambling and gambling is for kobolors. What would you do differently if you were in my shoes? Lie your way out, right? As in paint his job with white colours as you wait for a future where the two of you will transition into something formal, right?

Heartbreaking Final Words of a Brave 4-Year-Old Boy Will Leave You in Tears!

Published

on

By

 

A little boy wakes up from a coma and says four words, and then he closes his eyes forever, leaving his family in tears.

Any parent would be willing to let go of that memories if it meant their kid would live to a happy old age.

Unfortunately, Ruth Scully, the mother of a 4-year-old boy named Nolan, only remembers what she had with her little son in their final conversation…Click Here To Continue Reading>> …Click Here To Continue Reading>>

 

In November 2015, Ruth Scully and Jonathan Scully got the news that almost any mother or father would dread that their 4-year-old son Nolan was diagnosed with a rare form of cancer.

Nolan was just two years old when he was diagnosed with Rhabdomyosarcoma, a rare soft tissue cancer. These tumors develop from muscle or fibrous tissue and can grow in any body part.

Doctors told Nolan’s parents the boy needed to start with intense treatment to fight the disease. The procedure would include 43 weeks of chemotherapy sessions and five and a half weeks of radiotherapy.

The first round of chemo was rough on Nolan’s little body, but the brave boy kept enduring.

His parents created to GoFund page on Facebook to help them pay for the treatment. They also used to update their child’s condition and said that watching their son suffering was the hardest thing in the world.

Unfortunately, even with the treatment, the cancer still attacked his body, and the doctors were worried.

As a result, the boys’ families were called at the start of February 2017 to meet with his oncologist.

The doctor’s expression and the sadness in his eyes said all they needed to know. The specialist explained that Nolan’s CT scan report had shown large tumors that had grown.

These tumors were compressing both his bronchial tubes, and his heart cancer had spread like wildfire; consequently, there wasn’t anything more the doctors could do except that the continued treatment could do for her son.

He was staying in a hospice. However, his mother said, “We just wanted ONE more night together. “But as he woke, he gently put his hand on mine and said, ‘Mommy, it’s ok. Let’s just stay here ok?’ She also mentions, “My four-year-old hero was trying to make sure things were easy for me.” Over the next 36 hours, the little boy watched videos on YouTube and played with those closest to him.

He even created a will for his family; heartbreakingly, Nolan also drew a picture of how his funeral should be planned.

The smart boy decided who he would like to carry his coffin to untold his parents what he thought the congregation should wear. READ FULL STORY HERE>>>CLICK HERE TO CONTINUE READING>>>

He always dreamt of becoming a police officer. Therefore, he wanted his family to remember him as a policeman.

Although Nolan wanted his mom by his side, he relented in one instance. When his mother, Ruth, asked him if it was okay for her to shower.

He agreed on the condition that his uncle would sit with him instead. So the child turned toward the bathroom and watched his mom close the door.

As the door shut, Nolan closed his eyes and fell into a deep sleep.

After leaving the bathroom, his mom saw that her son’s support team had gathered around his bed.

Naturally, it was a moment of high emotion, and the medical staff revealed his fragile condition.

They said that Nolan couldn’t feel anything and was also having difficulty breathing because one of his lungs had collapsed. Without any hesitation, his mom climbed into bed next to him. While Ruth knew she was going to lose her son soon, perhaps no one could have predicted what would happen next.

It was a miracle. Nolan opened his eyes again as he still wanted to say something to his mom.

So the boy turned his gaze towards his mother and said, “I love you, Mommy.” Then just before midnight on February 7th, 2017, little Nolan passed away with Ruth singing to him. The four-year-old’s final words will be forever etched on his mom’s heart.

Ruth then uploaded a touching Facebook post two months after Nolan’s demise. She told the world about her son’s last message and also expressed the pain of losing him.

There Ruth mentioned how her child woke up out of a coma to say he loved her with a smile on his face.

The post said, “My son passed away like a hero and brought communities of different occupations together.” He made a difference in people’s lives all around the world and was a warrior who left with dignity and love. She described the feelings of agony and grief she has experienced since Nolan lost his “courageous battle.”
