This is Max. Max loved his long, well kept dreadlocks. But we all know hair – it grows and grows until you start looking like the lead character from Tangled. Being just in his early teens, all the friends and members of his family know Max with that typical dreadlocks look, a sort of a trademark for him and they couldn’t even imagine how he would look with short hair. Not that anyone would expect a change.

Well, this is exactly what Max actually did – a more than radical change of hairstyle.

Even though the dreadlocks Max had were extremely well kept and a point of envy, he decided to cut them off. One family member in particular had a secret wish for him to do so – after years and years of growing, Max’s mother had a heartfelt desire to see her son’s hair neatly trimmed. Being the beautiful son that he is, he made a plan to fulfill her wish.

In this video, you can see all the stages of the dreadlocks removal. One by one, the long dreads are removed and a new, shiny young face blasts in front of your very eyes.

The most priceless of of all is mom’s reaction to Max’s transformation. She opens the door, fully unprepared to see the new edition Max! Watch carefully, we don’t want to spoil your moment of re-living the event in synchrony with his mother.

What we can only advise you is – remember to breathe and make sure you have some tissues nearby. And lots of them!
