I literally buzzed my hair last week since I am joining the military after growing them for over 2 years. Even though it hurt at first, it made love me even more because I had to face my insecurities of how my face looks which will eventually make me love myself even more. Even though I loved your hair, buzzcut suits you Reece! I'm a big fan of yours and the sky is the limit, I hope you keep improving yourself. Thank you for your videos.
It's like every time you look in the mirror, heck every time you go OUTSIDE and are perceived by people, you're reminded of why you did it. The commitment you made to yourself. Reece, this is incredibly mature. I'm a 17 year old girl from Pittsburgh and I can say you've truly inspired me.
Did the same as a girl two months ago, from hair long to my lower back to a pixie cut. The amount of time and money I have now is unbelievable! I'm really happy about it because I donated them to 2 girls ♡
pixie still looks good on most girls... Buzz is atrocious for average looking guys like me... yet I'd like to do it soon... for now I'm growing it out...
Good for you for not being a follower! Pixie cuts might not be as attractive as long luscious hair, but if somebody does it for better time management and doesn’t care then that’s most attractive.
My Mom says she doesn’t wanna get a pixie cut because she thinks her lips are too big, her nose is too big and pointy, and her face is too thin. She’s so superficial and insecure.
Respect man, I buzzed my hair first 6 months ago and ive buzzed it 3 times since. Self development, character growth, Ill admit I get 0 women now but I realise I relied upon my looks and since then ive become a better person overall.
Bro mega based and W for buzzing your hair. I have thought of it several times, but I was too scared to do it. Reece, don't forget the state of mind you are in right now. It is quite special. Foster it bro, these things won't last forever if you get bored of working on them. I just love your positive energy, don't let go of it
I cut my hair off for kids with cancer last year. It’s taking a while to regrow but I’m so thankful for being able to help others and most importantly, love myself no matter how I look.
I literally buzzed my head after watching this today. I was planning on buzzing my head the day after my birthday next week. You motivated me to full send and do it today. It feels amazing. You're videos are awesome man. I've been working on my self-improvement and health and knowing you have similar values is awesome. You're inspirational!
i buzzed mine and it was nice to have a break but i loved having my hair back cause caring for it is fun for me personally and the messy days dont bother me
I'm a 20 years old woman and I was in last year of my college ,when I decided to cut my curly hair that reached my hip to short hair similar to guy's hair.Although I had an excuse for chopping of my hair,I really did it as a form of letting go of my past self. It wasn't easy for me as I belong to a conservative family. But now I'm starting to grow it back and I'm thankful I took those measures. It really is like growing up from your past self along with your hair.
I started my dreadloc journey 2 months ago when I graduated high school. It's been tough, and the starting stages can be the hardest due to all the shifts and changes your hair is going through. Although some people call this, "the ugly stage," I truly believe it's a time to build your confidence and strength in yourself because how your hair looks on a day to day shouldn't affect your confidence or define how you feel. I'm using this time now to love myself, my spirit, and my hair more than I ever have before and I love it!
congrats on starting your locs journey!! I wish I was as confident as you seem when I started (spring break, sophomore year), my hair was so short when I got my sisterlocs (tiniest locs, I have 400+ on my head) that I wore a hat at school. People kept asking me if I had cancer all day since my hair was completely hidden and my eyebrows are kinda thin. I couldn't put any product in it and wigs made me feel silly, so I thought the hat was necessary to hide something that didn't look good and well managed to me. Even worse, some people treated me differently when they saw my locs...like I was a crazy person. It was a journey to just accept it wouldn't look good at first and take off the hat. It made me realize it's just hair and it 1) isn't my entire identity and 2) will eventually grow longer anyways and 3) it's a good friend filter! 2 years later its gets bigger rather than longer but getting easy to manage locs has made me feel so much better, just a bit of hair shaking & finger brushing and it's good to go. People still treat me differently when we meet with my locs out vs. hiding them in braids, but I just see it as another part of the 'people-filtering' process.
@nancywinner I feel like you're honestly a lot stronger than me 😭 I was scared to start my locs during the school year for a few of the same reasons. I had a fear of being judged and not looking good enough (w.e. that means💀), so I waited until summer to start them. What I've noticed, however, is that I still end up getting sour looks sometimes anyway. For some people, I will simply never be enough, and I can't change that. What my hair is currently and will always be teaching me is that I'm doing this for myself. For my growth and peace of mind. I hope my loc journey will finally set me free of the stigma I've had with my natural hair for so long, and I'll create my own happiness and peace along the way.
@@luvrrrd this is EXACTLY how I feel and why I started. I hated always having to get my hair done with extensions and hiding away my natural hair like it was socially 'wrong'. These days I lowkey feel like my locs are like...part of a movement to decriminalize them or smthn, especially since just a few moments of speaking to me and you can tell I'm not that type of person. My mom actually wanted me to start during the summer or wait til I graduate but I just put my foot down and we did it. I can't make any promises but I can say that personally locs have helped me create a more healthy relationship with my hair. This relationship is still developing of course since my hair still frustrates me sometimes, as with anyone probably haha Locs are a commitment. Unlike other styles you can't just 'take them out' and you gotta retouch them every few months. Simply deciding to get them shows how strong you are!!
@nancywinner Thanks for saying that! I've been going through a lot with the transition from hs to college, and to hear how strong I am and have been really makes me want to keep persevering. I appreciate it, and the same goes for you for defying the societal norm
I am a girl, and I shaved my head a few months ago with the same goal as you. But it didn't really change anything in me, I got frustrated and then I realized that nothing was supposed to change because I had just cut my hair, nothing else.
bro i just discovered your channel today through the 'you listen to too much music' video (which was amazing btw and incredibly relatable and inspiring for me) and i did the exact same thing as you here last year for my 20th birthday because i needed that drastic change in my life. i wanted to 'cut off' all the parts of me i didn't want to keep and make room for new parts of me to 'grow in' so i could grow with my hair as you said. no one else around me really understood why i did it and i faced a lot of judgement about it but everything you said about its sort of symbolism was exactly what i thought. it really was that 'membership' for me to make a difference in my life and commit more to it. now my 21st birthday is coming up soon and you've got me strongly considering doing it again to continue to grow and change with my hair, and free myself of the burdens i've come to carry this year. thank you for the amazing videos and i'm excited to see more of what you have to say!
i think especially as a queer woman this is really true! when i cut my hair (not a buzz but pretty close) it felt like a rejection of peoples expectations of who i should be, and allowed me to become who i really am. i respect you so much and you seriously inspire me. in six months i want to be using the barbell in the gym, able to leg press 160kg, have 2hr or less on my phone consistently and be getting straight As in school. great video, lots of respect
I’m tired of mfs with good hair genes and hair linen telling others to buzz their hair lmao. Bro not all of us have good hairlines some of us are receding or have naturally big foreheads
It looks great. Your videos are REALLY inspirational for the people who doesn't have a lot of self confidence. Like me. That's why I am subscribed to you. Your videos help me get through life. Thank you so much. 😊 I can't buzz my hair because I'm a girl 😅 but I will start working on myself do build up self confidence
I buzzed my hair today. I‘m a woman but I did it anyway, your points are absolutely incredible and I had thought about it for a hot minute. Thanks for convincing me finally. Will give an update in 3 months how it went.
This video came at a perfect time. I rely on looking good for my confidence. Although I’m working on myself & developing who I am, it’s hard for me to be confident if I don’t look good on the outside.
Wow, I love your commitment and I admire it As a struggling teenager you're honestly a huugeee rolemodel for me and this video made me think about my recent habits a lot. I started taking care of my skin and hair recently, to the point that it's almost excessive. Just like you've said, a bad hair day hinders my confidence and stresses me out bc I tend to compare myself to others Your way of thinking about things inspired me and I'm thinking of taking days off with makeup and not putting any - just being natural. It seems like a small step for many but for me it's huge, especially since I've struggled with the problem if constantly comparing myself for sooo long!
Guys, I had longer hair than the girls in my class. When I woke up on a sunny saturday morning, I said, "I should cut my hair," and I did. Don't do that if you have a weird skull. But anyways it feels super fresh.
The day & day after I buzz my head are usually the absolute happiest of days for me. Those two days are also the days I get the most compliments on it! I have never had much attachment to my hair/facial hair and it has always weirded people out lol. It is so nice to buzz everything off and not worry about it for a while. I have learned to like the way I am, and as such, I like the way I look no matter what. Nice videos sir!
I believe that every man should get a buzz cut at least once in their life. It shows a level of maturity that you do not care about how others think you look. I got a buzz about 1 and a half months ago and I've noticed a massive positive change in my confidence and I just feel a lot better about myself now, I'm more content.
I was inspired by this video. I have been growing out my hair for the past 3 years, and now I'm super happy with my new buzzed hair. I feel so much better now. 😀
This video really resonates me. For the past year I hadn't gotten a haircut. Originally wasn't even planning on growing it out, but I started pattern balding at 15. It took a huge hit on my already low confidence and so I grew it out just to hide an insecurity. My whole life I've had buzzcut even though it doesn't look good on me. Big forehead, head dent and pattern balding need I say more. And so as I was growing my hair out I started gaining confidence, and actually feeling good about the way I look. The problem is all my confidence is connected to my hair, that is now so long that it's messing with my vision. If I'm having a bad hair day, wind is messing my hair up, anything goes wrong with it, I just feel very insecure in my own body. Getting a buzzcut would pretty much make me look ugly (since it doesn't fit me) , and therefore remove all my confidence. And yet still I'm considering it because I care too much about the way I look. I don't like my hair. It's getting in my face and requires a lot of time and attention to get right. Every time I walk past a reflective surface I check if my hair is looking good. I often feel like I can't keep living like this, that I can't take it anymore, but I never take action. Maybe this is what I need?
It honestly looks good. I mean either way of hairstyle fit you anyways. It just reminds me when I first saw Keanu reeves in the matrix with buzzed hair. My first reaction to that was like wow.
Brah, you're right it's hair, it literary grows back. Even if you get to the point where you miss it, it'll literally come back and grow as you're making changes.
Thank you so much for this I’m thinking about getting a buzz this week, I’m a bit round but I agree I hate styling my hair. (I also feel like shiny bald would suit you so well)
Last year of high school, no buzz for now but I kind of got my hair short. I saw this video a week after it actually but thought I might join in. I want to study Industrial Design and work on my writing as I go, the education system isn’t so easy here so I’ll need to work really hard to go to the university I want. I really need to be the best, or one of the bests after “the bests” for this and I’m aware. It’s nothing I can’t do, I’m great at motivating myself and can focus when I want to. I just hope I can put my life in a shape making it easy for me to focus on important things but also keep my health in balance. I know I can do it ❤
This comes at a good time. Been suffering from Androgenic Alopecia for almost a year. 60% of my hair is gone and I’ve been going crazy over it. Been thinking about buzzing my hair. This gives me some confidence, thank you so much!
you're so nice, I always like to hear you talk. I wonder how you end up here, on youtube, and if you were always like that, thinking and putting yourself to the test wish you the best
Hi :) I actually never comment on RU-vid videos but I just wanted to say that I’m a 19 year old woman and at the age of 17 I buzzed my head and I got many positive reactions at school even though I was known to be the girl with the long hair. One of my friends mom even called me brave for doing that lol and there was even a girl who said that she could never do that even if she had cancer, which I think sounds very superficial of her. Overall I was really happy about my buzzed hair and I would do it again anytime and it gave me such a confidence boost and I recommend anyone of any gender to buzz their head at least once in a lifetime :) PS ITS JUST HAIR IT GROWS BACK
My buzzcut was just actually so spontaneous, I just woke up one day feeling sick of my long hair (it's not that long but you get what I mean) and then decided to just head up to my favorite barber shop and told my barber I just want a new haircut and I want it just short this time (I always request to live a longer part of my hair), and then he made me choose between sizes of the clips and I chose the shortest one out of the choices he offered me. After the cut, I was surprised that it suits me. I was surprised that even some people complimented it, I was always too afraid and insecure to try a buzzcut, but now that I tried it, It made me feel more safe, confident, and comfortable in my own skin.
Also, most of what you said in the video was actually the things I've been thinking about too lately (especially after the cut, since this cut wasn't even planned at all 😂) But getting a haircut that I won't need to be always fixing also came into my mind several times.
@@reecedanielss ohh LMAO i was boutta day like halfway through the vid i realized like damn this a rly good location for a vid like this-hold up how he not getting honked at n shit😭😭 anyway bro i rly appreciate your videos, esp the one about living like you’re in a movie. i did that hella when i was younger and sorta stopped doing it when i got into weed at 14 and became a rly anxious and paranoid type of person. i’m trynna get myself off it and watching ur vids help ground myself. appreciate it hella✌️
I used to have long beautiful hair and I had the thought to cut it short but I was stopped by fear. when I realized I was hiding behind my hair and I felt afraid to cut it, I knew I had to cut it :’) it’s short now! congrats Reece I’m sure you feel lighter too 🫂
@reecedanielss Love you so much,Your videos are so motivating, and like encouraging,I can see my hidden self in you, and you just motivate me to be the way I really am
uhm should i do it even with a big ass forehead? just genetic i'm not balding, i mean at least i got the gigachad jaw type of look but i'm scared of buzzing
Well, I started to have a reciding hairline during my high school time, then I went to college and on the last year I went bald (on purpose). It made me much more confident about myslef since I stopped worrying about my hairline all the time and I noticed that I look somewhat good anyway. As you said, after shaving your head, hair grows back healthier than ever and now after a year and something I decided to make a hair transplant and grow it back. Currently I am like 3 months after the surgery and also started using conditioner - it works like a charm. Summing it up, shaving your head can really make you realize that you can look good even without your hair. Now I treat my hair as a good addition to my appearance instead of a must and I want to grow it a bit longer than I have ever had. Have a nice day guys!
@@toxicgodzzz147 I was told to take really small doses - I cut tabs in like 5 to 10 parts and take it once in two or three days. Maybe it will help you
yoo, I buzzed my hair literally the same day as you, and fitness is one of my goals right now. I've been swimming hard pretty much every day this summer.
I also cut my hair, very short, 7 months ago and I did it for the same reason to be able to realize that with or without hair in the end I am still me and there were times when I felt bad but in the end the truth was not so important and now that it's growing the way I like it I feel much much better than before I cut it I've never loved it so much
Samson confessed that he would lose his strength “if my head were shaved” (Judges 16:15- 17). While he slept, the faithless Delilah brought in a Philistine who cut Samson's hair, draining his strength. If you believe this, strenght it's not in your hair or something else, it's within itself
Been wanting to chop all my hair off, but scared to take the leap. Plus being a girl the social repercussions are bound to be bad, but honestly I'd feel damn liberated if I went through with. Good vid, made me consider it again
Lol i did the same 2 weeks ago, well not really I went from reallly long hair to pretty short, but I had long hair my entire life like since kindergarten
