For a woman, her hair is her crown.
So it takes a lot of courage for a woman to shave all her hair off.
Cancer patients who undergo chemotherapy suffer hair loss in the process, and while some opt to wear wigs, there are others who in fact shave off all their hair instead.
The women we see in this TikTok video is one of those.
In a video that has gone viral with over 57 million views, it shows a woman at a barber shop having her hair shaved.
While this in itself is an act of bravery, it’s what the barbers do that has left millions of viewers on the verge of tears.
“In a heartfelt display of solidarity and compassion, a group of barbers joined a courageous lady who had recently undergone chemotherapy as she faced the emotional challenge of having her head shaved.
“The experience, undoubtedly tough for anyone, was particularly poignant for this woman, as losing her hair was a profound reminder of the battles she fought, fighting against cancer,” reads the long caption.
“What transpired next was a beautiful testament to the power of empathy and support. The barbers, moved by her strength, decided to stand by her side and, one by one, they voluntarily shaved their own heads, creating an atmosphere filled with love and understanding.”
As the barber shaves her hair, he stops and starts shaving his own hair.
Once the other barbers in the barber shop see what he’s doing, they line up to have their own heads shaved.
“This powerful act of unity touched the hearts of everyone present, leaving an indelible mark on the woman and reminding her that she was not alone in her journey.”
