When we have long hair, we want to cut it short and we have short hair, we want our hair to be a little longer.

But, it is very difficult to manage long hair, especially when you are in your forties. It is better to have short hair because they are manageable.

Hairdresser Christopher Hopkins – who is also known as “Makeover Guy” – was left shocked when he met a lady with the longest hair he had ever seen.

One Minnesota woman met Hopkins in his studio in Minnesota, USA and said she had not cut her hair for 20 years.

He decided to give her a makeover and chopped off her thigh-long strawberry blond lock.

He added some colour and the transformation was amazing.

The woman was left speechless after the makeover. She said: “I feel light and airy…they’re going to be surprised”.

The amazing transformation was posted online which received thousands of likes and comments.

One user wrote: I think her new look is fabulous. She looks 10+ years younger and she seems thrilled with it. That is the only thing that matters!’

Another said: ‘This lady looks so much better!!! I love her new hairstyle!!! She looks great!!! Great job Christopher and team!!!’

The third one wrote: ‘WOW!!!! here is a case that long hair is just long hair. She looks amazing after. The first time she washes it at home in the shower she’s going to be shocked how easy it is to do!! Lol’

One said: ‘Stunning! I hope she keeps that color and the make up was perfect too.’

‘Her hair is still long and quite thick, but it has more life to it now. It’s amazing how less is almost always more when it comes to older women and hair’ one wrote.

The woman definitely looks much prettier and younger. The transformation is amazing.
