There are a lot of people who dream of growing their hair long. But for others โ€“ having long locks is simply a nightmare.

One example is 73-year-old Sandy from Boston, Massachusetts.

She had managed to grow her hair past her shoulders, but instead of proudly letting it flow โ€“ she absolutely hated it!

Like many others her age, Sandy wasnโ€™t feeling too good about her appearance and was seeking a little extra โ€œoomphโ€ in the beauty department.

Fortunately, she was in the right place the moment she sat down in The Makeover Guyโ€™s salon chair.

They say that โ€œage is just a numberโ€ and โ€œyouโ€™re only as old as you feel.โ€

Sandy too is a person that doesnโ€™t believe her true age represents how she actually feels inside.

Despite being in her 70s, she felt like a youngster only in her 40s.

But as she typically does, old Mother Nature had been creeping up on Sandy as well.

The east coast resident was seeing the tiredness in the mirror and needed help bringing some of her youth back.

She admitted:

โ€œFeeling a little tired as I get older, so I just need a little oomph.โ€

One frustrating aspect of aging is that hair tends to thin out and can be harder to grow.

Dermatologist and USC Clinical Instructor, Tsippora Shainhouse, explained to Womenโ€™s Health:

โ€œAs we age, hair decreases in density and the individual hair strands become thinner โ€ฆ The hairs produced become much finer, until, eventually, the follicle can even stop producing new hairs.โ€

For Sandy, her hair was surprisingly the longest it had ever been.

Some might think she was jumping for joy over the fact, yet โ€“ she wasnโ€™t at all.

She despised it and wanted it gone!
