Thank you, Amber. That was the most intimate thing a sister has done with me, ever. That's right. I was there (we all were) with you the whole time, cheering you on. Tears on my cheeks. Thank you for sharing something so culturally sensitive. I have a bunch of trauma from men and I have always gotten the message that long hair for women is how it "should be." But guess who has always said that? Men. And magazines and media controlled by men. No more. I am getting a short pixie tomorrow because of this video. You are so incredibly beautiful, and as a woman maybe, I can see it is your inner beauty more than even your drop dead outer beauty. I can't thank you enough for sharing this with us, your sisters. We cheered you on the whole way and you look so powerful and even more beautiful. I promise. Please be with me tomorrow, sisters. I am getting years of stringy, thin trauma taken off. It is time for the messages we women have received growing up to turn into power, whatever that looks like for us. For all the messages I got from men who hurt me...tomorrow's cut is for me.
Hair is so emotional for women. I had lost so much hair due to my auto immune disease that there were literally just strings and it had to go. And yet I mourned the loss of those strings and cried when it buzzed. But, then the feeling of freedom came in. I didn't have to feel less than with the stringy, sparse hair. I felt all your emotion as you shaved. Once again, you are helping other women to accept and live with hair loss in a positive way. Thank you for sharing this video, Amber. You are absolutely beautiful and have a gorgeous head. Love you. ❤
I cried watching you. I don't care what anyone says, it is our loss. I felt that way when I buzzed mine. You have the most beautiful face!!!! You look like an Angel. Thank you for sharing with us.
I cannot even properly express to you how much I can relate to everything you said in this video. Thank you for being so vulnerable. I've been wanting to buzz my head too for a few years but I go back and forth. My bio hair looks exactly like yours did. I have struggled because my husband and my kids are attached to me having hair also, even if it's a few straggly bits of mullet-y rat tail hair. So, I keep it. But one of these days.....I may need to buzz it. For me. I don't know you, but girl, I felt this video down deep in my soul.
I hate washing my thin, stringy hair! A buzzed head will be wonderful under your wig. It is supposed to act like Velcro. It will be so easy to wash your head! Love it!
Well done for being so brave, taking control and letting go. You look sensational with a buzz cut. I hope you feel comfortable rocking the look as it is because you have the face shape and features to totally carry it off. x
I loved watching you transform from a beautiful woman with straggly hair, to a super model look, Amber. Yes, a woman's hair can be a very emotional thing but it can also be a ball & chain. You look super with the buzz cut. I said the same thing when Denise Sheets of Hey Wig Sister buzzed her hair. Taz of Taz's Wig Closet looks sharp with her buzzed hair and so does Marlene of Marleen's Wig and Chat Studio. Straggly hair becomes the focus if a woman has it. Buzz it off and the woman becomes the focus. Good for you, girl.
Girl, you look soooo good with a shaved head. Your bone structure really pops! I shaved my head from 2019 to 2021, and this just made me want to do it again. It really makes the wigs grip better 😅
That feeling is Courage. You are very Brave. I Admire you for it. The thing is hair or no hair your beauty comes from your beautiful spirit. You are very Beautiful and Brave. Thank you for sharing this difficult decisive moment with us. Rock Star Move!
Originally I lost my hair due to breast cancer, chemotherapy treatments along with radiation. There were a total of 8 chemocycles, I had a bilateral radical mastectomy with removal of my lymph nodes, then 48 cycles of continuous radiation. Thereafter, I had neoadjunctive therapies. Needless to say, I ended up completely hairless. Even after several years, my hair never completely came back because autoimmune disease kicked in too! Wearing alternative hair, became my new normal. Today, I wear wigs daily with my only problem being the summer months. That one, is a toughy! I admire those that can buzz off their hair. I, for one, cannot get there yet. I still have the picture in my head of what I look like without hair... Even with make up it was not a pretty sight. Amber coma you are a beautiful woman with or without hair!
Amber, that was such an honest and poignant video. Your biohair color is very pretty and you can always let it grow out again and get it styled, but it does seem like a liberating thing to do and would make wearing our wigs so much easier and more comfortable, cooler. My hair started thinning post-menopause, so I started adding extensions, then switched to toppers and finally to wigs. I love my wig collection so I feel we are lucky that today's alternative hair pieces are of such high quality. The ones you wear that go with your coloring are gorgeous, as you are too. 💖
Wow, I'm feeling overcome with emotion watching this, tears just streaming down my face. I just can relate so much. I've lost so so much much more hair since my weight loss surgery. I'll bet I've lost at least 50% of what relatively small amount I had before. You honestly do look soooo powerful, still so feminine and beautiful with your hair shaved. I hope you feel good about it. I think you're setting such a great example for your daughters. Well done.❤️
As you were making those first few cuts I said aloud, wow you look great in short hair. Then I watched the rest… and you look STUNNING with a buzz cut. As you begin to get a little growth I’m betting you will LOVE it too!
Your courage to take control of the situation and shave your head is inspiring, and is so similar to my having done so a month ago. You are beautiful regardless of what decision you make/made but you have to do what makes you feel good. That is what I finally decided and now, I have artificial hair for when I want to wear it and a shaved head for when I want to show the world that I feel strong and I love myself as I am. That said, sometimes I still feel better about myself with artificial hair but I am feeling more empowered now, with a shaved head than I did with what little hair I had before. It is up to each person but this is my story. Thank you for sharing yours. ❤
I commend you on the bravery you showed by doing that. I have gone pretty short, but not buzzed. I have also stated I should buzz it off and then I get others stating too not do that. I know with society it is hard since what woman are told they should have for hair. I am very proud of you for doing that and you putting it out there for everyone to see, is great for others to see they are not alone. I really do think you look great with it buzzed.
Bravo Dear Lady! My decision to do this same thing was such a freedom and relief! My hair is as thin as yours, only totally straight. To watch the progression of androgenetic alopecia was an ongoing heartbreak. It was a constant struggle to try to work with my hair as it was. Now, I am free! It’s so easy to wear wigs now! Thing is, my buzzed head looks like an intentional choice, and even when I go without a wig I receive complements and admiration! I buzz my hair to 1 mm (No clipper guard). To all who are struggling with hair loss, i say, “GO FOR IT!”
You are beautiful, brave and stronger than you thought! No matter what your mind frame was at the time, it was important to you - look at the energy you gave yourself when you got into buzzing! You might shed some tears privately, and that's totally okay (& expected). You took the opportunity to empower yourself!!!
I started loosing my hair 20 years ago. I loved my natural curly bio hair when I had it. But that was a long time ago. I grew to hate my natural hair. I felt so free after I buzzed it all off. Love my wigs. Love my buzzed head. I have no shame in wearing the wig and let everone who tells me how nice my hair is… that it isn’t. 😂 I live alone and have for a long time, sometimes I wear a wig at home.. most of the time I don’t now that it’s summer. if friends pop in and I’m not wearing hair that’s how they get me. I’m considering going to town without hair this summer if it gets too hot for me to be comfortable wearing a wig. You, my dear had way more hair left than I did before I decided to buzz off all my hair and start wearing wigs. I should have done this years ago. I saw the smile on your face & the sparkle in your eye. It feels amazing. I put oils on my scalp every day so I have an excuse to rub my head 😂 the air conditioning for the summer is unbelievable🤩and it makes wearing my wig a breeze. I don’t use a wig grip ever. If I’m going out I use it stays. If I am home.. nothing😂some days at home I’ve worn 2 or 3 different wigs 😁
You look great with a buzz cut! Wigs are a choice, but you don't "need" then. Wear your buzz with confidence! I buzzed my hair about a year ago just because I wanted to. And I never wear wigs. Rock your buzz, girl! You're beautiful ❤️
You are so brave and absolutely beautiful! I did the same thing a week ago after having the clippers for weeks. It is so liberating but I still haven’t told anyone I did it. Thank you for sharing such a personal and emotional experience with us-only people with hair loss can understand this journey.
Totally understand the need to want to hold onto your bio hair. If I wore wigs on a daily basis, I would definitely buzz off my hair. you have a gorgeous face. You don't need hair really, your face is stunning.
You truly are so strong, doing you and what makes you feel good is such a plus for all those who love you as you are. My heart goes out to you for your continued strength and courage to be you. Beautiful you❤
You are awesome Amber!…I’ve never wanted to give someone a hug as much as I did when you weren’t sure to do it it or not. I’ve been there and can relate entirely…but I knew you’d love it once you done it, makes wearing wigs so much nicer! You look stunning and definitely rock that look! 🤩🤩
You look stunning! I have often thought about cutting my hair and you have given me encouragement. After all, hair is over-rated and it does grow back. You absolutely do not need the wig! Gorgeous!
You are so brave. I want to be brave like you. My hair is just like yours. I bought the clippers to do this but haven’t even taken them out of the box. I think you just gave me the courage. You look gorgeous! Hugs.
Thank you so much for sharing this. I cried when you shaved your head because the emotions you were feeling are those that only women who suffer from hair loss feel, complete defeat. I suffer severe anxiety and don't leave the house because of my hair loss, it is having a negative affect on my relationship with my partner because I don't feel confident and don't want to go places where I'll be seen with him. I can't afford wigs or toppers, it's awful, I feel completely defeated.
Thank you for this it will help so many dealing with hair loss. I did this and it felt different and then if felt amazing at the same time. Now I have a little regrowing back. I might just do it again after watching you. You look beautiful no matter with or without hair because beauty comes from within! 💕
You are a Queen! It looks so awesome you don't need a wig now, just get a professional to clean it up a bit. I have hair and it is so damaged from color highlights and flat iron i want to do that too now.
It looks like you have a good amount of hair on top of your head. I am a hairdresser and from what I can see you could have really made a very cool style by bussing the sides and leaving the top long . My hair loss is on top. My sides are thin but it's worse when there is very little on top. Cudos to you though for your bravery. You are a beautiful girl and it's good that you have a supportive husband.
***s l o w c l a p*** Oh Amber you know I love you and I’d never lie to you-you look freaking GORGEOUS with the buzzed head. I paused the video right before it ended so I could leave a comment and the smile of satisfaction and pride on your face is making me want to cry. I’ll text you a screenshot. Hugs friend. I am so proud of you. So so so proud of you. 💜
You are very brave. My bio hair is similar to yours and I really wanted to do the same thing several weeks ago. You look beautiful as always! I really felt your emotion watching your video. You have given me the courage to once again consider just letting go. I would love a follow up video at some point. Thank you 🙏
Your bio hair is exactly like mine, the big bald spots and the curly frizz!!! I wear alternative hair daily but when I exercise or walk I make bio ponies under a ball cap, but the bio looks worse and worse every day! You look amazing in all the wigs you model!!
Girl! I haven't seen one of your videos in awhile and just caught this one.Beautiful!!! You look AMAZING with the buzz cut! I love it! You were giving me hot, sexy Brigitte Nielsen vibes. Great video. God knows I've been there. I've shaved mine completely off a couple times and this makes me want to go for a third try!! I love how it feels with it buzzed off, although I wish I could pull off the look more to go out in public with it shaved off, but such is life. Congrats on the big step! I hope you're enjoying it!!!
I think it’s a great idea, I buzzed mine a long time ago, my hubby did it, because I wear wigs every day, I’m wayyyyyy older than u, and I was sick of dying it, the greys were just coming in too much, got sick of it, plus I love changing up my look!!! Good for you🙌👌 PS..80 lbs!! Wow! Congratulations ✌️LOOKS GREAT!!!
That was sooooo motivating and you look fabulous either way. I think buzzing the hair off is the way to go, but for now I'm enjoying my toppers that i only started wearing a couple weeks ago. One sat in my closet for two years because I just wasn't ready. Quick question, do you have a preference between human and synthetic? I own one of each and I'm leaning towards synthetic because it's no fuss!
Doing it is the hardest thing - but once you do….omg your wig wearing experience will be so much better!! And not so hot!! You won’t look back - and remember you can always grow it back!! It’s not permanent- but I bet you don’t !!
Ok, gorgeous. I was clapping. Then I looked at you and thought, if you bleached that, your face is so gorgeous, you would rock that! You are absolutely beautiful, queen.❤🔥
Really appreciate you sharing this as I've been in two minds about doing this. PS I love the second wig you put on at the end. Do you have any details of that wig?
Wow ,you are beautiful inside and out .super model look you rock it .thank you for being so real ,your video touched me like no other . Thank you, thank you .
I have the same issue as you, Androgenic Alopecia, does your scalp produce a lot of oil? Also, did your hairs actual texture change as well, like extremely thin fine strands that turned coarse and frizzy? I feel like my hair has turned into long pubes! 😆😭. You’re so beautiful and you have stunning natural features. You would look great buzzed wearing a Hefty garbage bag and I’m not blowing smoke up your a$$. You rock. My hair loss has become accelerated. I would love to try PRP but it’s just not financially possible. I’m having trouble just keeping a decent wig to wear. They don’t last. Idk, PRP would probably be cheaper in the long run. Love ur channel ❤️🙏
Wow, you actually look stunning with a shaved head...it suits you (lucky!!!) It really highlights your amazing bone structure. Don't ever worry about not being as feminine cuz you seriously look like a futuristic goddess. (Remind me of a model and a movie character for a beautiful badarse female character in a fantasy or Sci if or even action movie.)
You look amazing and you have a nice round head to pull that off. Mine is lumpy and bumpy or I would do it and wear it out that way 😢. I love the hairpiece you put on last and wondering who makes that one. Thank you so much for your video's
@@FabricatingFringe I just recently discovered tea leaf but I had no idea that's what you had on. Now I know I would like to get that one because it looks beautifulon you. Thank you so much 🙂 💓
