Like all other Amish women, Sarah dresses plainly and hides her hair underneath a small white bonnet for modesty, as dictated by her faith. But celebrity stylist Theodore Leaf surprised her by offering her a hair makeover.

This was permitted because Sarah is enjoying her rumspringa, a rite of passage during which Amish teenagers experience the outside world, and then decide if they wish to continue in the Amish community.
