Amish Woman Gets A Makeover That Completely Transforms Her

In the age of iPhones, smart TVs, and social media, modern society doesn't really get the Amish way of living. We're always so fascinated with the simplistic way in which "the plain people" go about their days, and shows like TLC's Breaking Amish highlight just that. However, some Amish people dream of a more modern existence, which is why Glamour's Theodore Leaf surprised one Amish girl with a killer makeover. No one could believe what she looked like when the transformation was finished!

Life in the Amish Countryside

Sarah lived a modest life in the Amish countryside of Jamesport, Missouri. The 21-year-old housekeeper and teacher went about her days in simple clothing, her hair wrapped up and hidden in a white bonnet. She used no electricity, and she was looking for a change.

A Boring Life

"I just had pretty much a boring life," Sarah told Glamour. "Just a small town, Amish on top of that." But the day Glamour's Theodore Leaf, the digital magazine's then-beauty editor-at-large, paid Sarah a surprise visit in 2014 was anything but boring.

Bad Hair Day

Theodore's Glamour web series, Bad Hair Day, aimed to give hardworking, kind women who've left their hair high and dry a well-deserved new 'do. Sarah had no idea what Theodore had in store for her, but she got a clue when he asked her "are you having a bad hair day?"

Personal Hair Routine

Theodore was ready to give her, as he put it, "a totally glam makeover," but first he asked Sarah about her life and her personal hair routine, which was pretty much nonexistent.
