I Chopped of All My Hair because I have absolutely zero self control

Ойын-сауық

After six years of growth, it is time to BANISHHHHH my hair. I've been feelin' pretty overwhelmed and stressed lately so what do we do? Chop off all our hair, that's right.
This has been my dream hair for YEARS and I finally decided: It's time to frickin' do it XD
SO ANYWHO here is a little hair journey for ya before we get back to festive AUTUMN-Y activities!
I love you all!!
(Also I realize that I am so unbelievably lucky to live in a place in the world where I have the freedom to do what I wish with my hair, and that's not lost on me! Just wanted to quickly mention that because it seems so frivolous sometimes to make hair videos, but I hope it's not taken the wrong way and I am extremely aware and grateful.)

    Oh man, you are at the best point. This is the time to do all the (hair unhealthy) things you might have wanted to try. Do weird heated hair styles, dye the ends in an ombre, look at Pinterest styles and go for it. Once you're done, done, with the length. Go for the snip. Growing it takes a while, but that's what wigs and extensions are for if turns out 'the snip is not it' 🤭. Have fun!

    I have a longish face so everytime i went to get a haircut the hairstylist would always cut it longer than i wanted because "it wouldn't be flattering". Finally found a hairstylist that actually listened to me and said to me: its about your attitude and how you wear your hair and not just having to conform to a hairstyle thats "flattering" to your face shape.

And she went , "what if you want dates?" Then I made her cut my hair to the length I wanted and she came around when she saw how much I loved it.

    My hairstylist that I've had since I was a child always wanted me to cut my hair short as 'My long face makes long hair make it even longer, shorter would flatter you more'. While I am the opposite. I think short hair made my face look like a banana in a bobcut so I just keep growing it out much. 😂 It doesn't matter what style would 'fit you the most'. Find a style that you like and go with that. I like long hair, it feels cosy and warm. (Especially here in Sweden where it's cold often.) One day I may reach my threshold and cut it off, but, not today!

    I cried a happy tear for her when she brushed it out and her entire demeanor changed. I had about a foot and a half of hair that I was slowly realizing I hated over the course of about a year and a half. Two months ago I shaved it off almost down to the scalp. Now I'm doing what Morgan Donner did and am letting it grow for a year before I decide on a final end product. I've been taking pictures every two weeks and doing a video once a month while I talk about how it's going. That haircut was also life-changing. I did have one regret. "Why didn't I do this a year and a half ago!"

    I’ve always had long hair and felt like it was what defined me but in 2008 was diagnosed with breast cancer and lost it all to chemo. I’ll tell you what, being bald makes you realize that hair is just hair, it grows, it doesn’t who cares! Now whenever I go to get my hair done I tell them “do whatever you think would look good on me” they are always like “are you sure??” Hell yeah! I’ve been bald, I can try anything now! It’s a very freeing feeling. BTW you look adorbs!

I'm torn between just shaving my head fully bald, or letting myself experiment with long hair as a man. Either one is fine with me. Bald people are rad as hell though! 🤟🏻

    Thats amazing you have 1) hopefully? overcome cancer and that losing your hair was something you coped with. However, for some its a deeply trauatising issue, and having my long blonde hair cut off brutallly as a child has left me with a llife long phobia of cutting it - to the extent that when i have had it cut a little shorter for what i asked, and it was shoullder length (only 3 times in my life) I never recovered form the experience. SO for everyone its different and even for many cancer patients, its one of the most traumatising things. We treat people with horrid chemo-regimes, that many of our patients dont emotionally recover well if their hair doesnt grow back. Some comes back thicker than before. Others lost for good. I truelly hope youre able to stay well

For women and people percieved to be women, other people seem to feel a sense of ownership over Your Hair, especially if you've kept it long for a while. I found that cutting my hair short was so freeing and made me so happy & I'm glad you get to experience the same thing! It really suits you!

Three years ago I chopped it really short and now keep it shoulder length when wet and it curls up a couple of inches when dry. I have a right side shave now and pull the rest over to the left because I refuse to get old. Long hair is overrated and overwhelming. I save so much money on product!

    I go out of my way to ignore my hair. Sometimes it is long and kept in a braid. Sometimes it is short and in pigtails. One time it was VERY short and teal. (supporting a friend who went through chemo). I say once you are an adult: if it is your head, it is your say. (before then, likely someone is helping you take care of it.)😏 I only let my long hair down as a favor for someone in my life that asks me nicely to do so. Long hair is pretty, but it is also a lot of work!

    My daughter both loves her hair short and misses the length. For me, when I chopped mine, I hated it. So many people said, "don't you just love it short." No, I don't, but I totally respect that you love yours short. I very much think that everyone needs to find the length(s) they like and it's nobody else's business. Sure I may like someone's hair but I have no say in whether they keep it or not. It's your hair, it should make you feel like you

    Pausing the video after 2 minutes to comment - these are pretty much the exact thoughts I had clinging on to my tailbone-length hair that I had been growing for six+ years. It was giving me headaches, I could only ever wear it in a braid or a bun with a hairstick (no elastics or it would pull my scalp). I thought I valued having the long hair but I slowly came to realize that what I valued was people's response to seeing how long my hair was and having something about me that was impressive that wasn't just my fatness. It was an expression of the hyper-femininity that I was expected to perform as a fat AFAB person and I was clinging to it. And then one day I decided to chop off more than a foot of length and shave the sides off into a mohawk (and then later shave the back off to just a topknot) and I've never been happier with my hair.

    People joke that cutting and dyeing one's hair is a sure sign of mental breakdown (and it certainly can be) but I absolutely adore seeing people reclaim their joy by doing the same. I recently went black on impulse after half a decade of having a neon undercut and I'm growing my hair out a little to get some more curl to it, so I'm celebrating your gorgeous new look with you, jubilant and renewed.

    Mental breakdown certainly isn't the first thought people should have. Hell the first time I got my hair significantly cut and dyed some of my "friends" freaked out and were really mean about it, saying they hated it and accused me of trying to be something other than myself solely because of the hair, and ostracized me from the social group for a while. The next time I saw my grandma she also dramatically said it was horrible and asked why I ruined my hair. It didn't actually look bad and wasn't even a controversial style, just a black neck length bob whereas my hair had been dark brown shoulder length before. I had always been a somber artsy person, so it was quite a logical exploration of my persona as a teen. Rather than being a sign of a prior mental breakdown, if anything the reaction from people close to me caused a minor breakdown afterward. That's when I learned people are awful, the world doesn't make sense, and you can't even trust the people you thought were family and friends to treat you with respect.

    This video makes me so unbelievably happy!!! 😭 I had hair as long as yours in my teens and it was my safety blanket for YEARS. Eventually I wanted to cut it but no matter how many times I asked my mum (my mum is a hairdresser) she would never let me. When I was 19 I had it all cut off, literally shaved back and sides and it felt amazing! I grew it out after that and ever since my hair has been a shaggy shoulder length mop. And you know what my mum says? That I look so much more like myself with short hair, she even tells me when it looks like it needs a trim because it's getting too long 😂 every so often I'll think about growing it long again, but once it gets past my shoulders I get physically repulsed by it and chop it again 😂 short hair looks cute, feminine and is insanely easy to take care of, what more could you want 😭

That being said, I admire you a lot for deciding to cut your hair like this. Having been forced to wear my hair in a short bob from age 5 to 14, every inch I could save from the hairdresser was such a victory that even now, at the old age of 24, I am still refusing to cut it even the slightest tiniest bit. I even started to trim it myself because each time I would them cut by someone else would just made me cry. So, yeah, congrats and happy Autumn!

But that little autumn montage so was lovely! You have nice sunny weather and lots of farm produce! We just get non stop rain and storms, and we have very little forest coverage (the british took all of our ancient oak woodland to build their warships) so we dont get that nice autumn crispy leaf vibe. I live on a small island in the west that is all bogland, which becomes extremely beige as all the lovely heather flowers turn from purple to white-grey-brown. Over here, autumn in a wet, cold time of year that a lot of people struggle with. Your autumn looks so bright and colourful!
