She seemed to enjoy is so much

yeah it was really funny XD

She's so freakin cute! LOL

I support her delight in this 😁

agreed i would watch a 20 minute video of rachel just talking about cleaning a toilet lmao, she always finds a way to make it fun

Absolutely!!! One of the highlights of my Friday!!!

i really feel this. couldn’t have said it better 🙌🏻

Samesies!

same here

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!

Yeah my hair was at that point as well. It was so dead that my split ends had split ends so I chopped it off and now I feel a thousand times happier with it.

I was thinking Snow White too

Id also love a vintage Amélie look

I scrolled specifically to see if someone had already made this comment. XP

This reminds me of my mom (a hairdresser like Rachel's mom) saying I shouldn't cut my hair too short or it'll make my face look rounder. I said "what if I WANT my face to look round?" 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.

This hairdresser sounds really progressive, congratulations on finding them!

Oh lucky, keep that hairstylist. I tend to avoid going at hairstylist for remark on how it's a lost to cut my long hair. -- long because nobody want to cut them at the lentgh I want and they grow ****ing fast.-- You have fond a pearl!

Same thing happened to me two days ago.. I feel so rotten... I want to just shave off this lob she gave me 😓

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!

Literally brought tears to my eyes! 🥹

I rewound to watch it again! Incredibly good moment

Ditto

LITERALLY

Right?

yep.

Same

As a transman who is slowly balding (just receding a good bit for now), and who got a deathhawk pre-transition after being strictly defined by my hair and "feminine looks" for most of my life, this is both very relatable and brazenly strong. 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! 🤟🏻

@@its_the_bird loved your story, thank you for sharing. Whatever makes you feel good, especially after going through stressful times in your lives, you should embrace! Bald is beautiful! (But I also love long hair on men!) Best wishes to you

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

I am sorry to hear about the cancer, stay strong 🍀 I once shaved my head and being bald was one of the best feelings ever especially when i took a shower and layed down.

Have you seen "Giving My Mum a Vintage Makeover" from 2018? Rachel and her mom's energy it the cutest in that vid 😁

Indubitably 🤣

@@mayfair_forest_witch yes, it's awesome!

Agreed!

Same ♡

Absolutely true!! The reason I subscribed is because I just love her and she loves pretty much all things I love!! Rachel, I love you and how real, honest, funny, silly, creative, and so much more you are!! You are amazing and so inspiring that even though I don't care all that much about clothes, I watch because you lift my spirits no matter what you do. Thank you for being you and making this world a better place!!

Absolutely!!!!!!

As if we wouldn't happily watch her shop or something

Have i got great news for you! Rachel and her mom did a vintage makeover video a few years back! 🤌💕

@@caiti-christi I thought so, but I couldn't remember. :)

I love her mom. 🥰

Cat Streat is correct. The link takes you to like a potato wedges tutorial video if you're curious

Same! I have curly hair and it has always been this odd burden to keep it long. 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!

This!!! And especially when you have natural red hair. YOU MAY NEVER TOUCH IT.

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

Omg. I have naturally curly red hair and so many people tell me “never dye your hair” and “people pay a lot of money for hair like yours” and I never know how to respond

Well...she did have a video of the inside of a dark barn...and I watched it. 😂😂

she is delightful! she could rake leaves and i'd probably watch it

That would be flipping adorable and also family fun bc my son would find it hilarious!

seconding

seconding

110% agree, that woman is adorable!

I’m a Massachusetts girl, living abroad for a decade now. Her mom‘s accent makes me homesick. ❤😘🤌🏻

She wouldn't be mama Maksy. Maksy is Rachel & Nick's last name.

Same! Me too-so adorable! ❤🤍

Omg yes, I was wondering who she reminded me of !

same ❤❤❤

Me too! I literally gasped 😂

Same!! Fully snow white! So cute ✨

Let’s be real. It’s 100% a mental breakdown.

this makes me wanna dye my hair again ahh and i might

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.

@@autumnatic That must have felt awful! :/ When I was a teenager, I wanted to dye my hair purple/blue. Basically my whole family expressed that they would find it horrible if I did that to my hair, so I never did...

@@autumnatic that's awful, when i shaved my head and donated the hair (twice haha) everyone was shocked?? even tho i'd talked about it many times and i loved having a buzzcut and felt myself with it, my family freaked out haha. Fuck that tho i can do whatever i want with my hair, plus i was donating it for wigs and i don't understand their shock.

HAHA YESSSS

Me too!

@@catstreat9434 Agree. Reported.

The perks of hair is that is grow back! It might take a super long time, but hair is the perfect canvas to experiment with because there's a natural reset when it grows

So true!! That’s a great way of thinking about it 🤔

@@mad_01134 cut it!! you will probably love it, and if not, you'll at least get to try some new things while it grows back out.

Oh my gosh. I cut my hair into a pixie in nursing school. Second best decision I ever made. Do it! 🫶

I think everyone who has had super long hair for a while can relate - but if you think about it, some of the girliest, most traditionally feminine figures in our collective consciousness have short hair! Marilyn, Audrey, and even the blueprint for all subsequent princesses in media, miss Snow White herself (the sweetest, most delicate out of all the disney princesses) has super short hair. Go for it!

Or buy a wig and wear short for one day

Agreed love her in that Joan big Arc wig!

I absolutely agree!

I am thinking of getting a perm! Can they make it look pretty natural these days?

@@farkleberry867 I don't know if you can view my account picture, but that is a perm. If you have a good stylist who knows what they're doing, they can definitely recreate a more natural (aka not 90s spiral perm! ; ) look for sure. And perms these days are so much better than they were...you can even do color and high/lowlights (you just have to watch the timing, and it can dry the hair out more, so keeping it moisturized is key!) But yeah, LOVE my perms...been doing it now for at least 5-6 years, and unless I can't afford it, I won't be going back!

@@reneezimmerman4611 Nice, thank you! Your hair looks really nice! I think I'm definitely leaning more toward doing now :)

@@farkleberry867 Definitely give it a shot! Good thing is perms these days are far more gentle on the hair, and you can always start with a more gentle curl to see if you like it. Good luck and be sure to post a pict! : )

THATS WHAT I WAS THINKING! maybe a "make it vintage" episode???

Definitely Snow White and Joan of Arc…OR a mash up of Snow+Joan.

A Snow White inspired But Make It Vintage set in the era the film was made. That would be kind of awesome.

✋🏻 absolutely!

Absolutely agree with this

Una Merkel was adorable

Oh man that feeling! I had waist length hair too and that's what I miss most, how it feels like you're hugging yourself sometimes 😊

I’m the exact same, but mine just keeps growing hahaha it’s down past my bum now and still going 😂 I love it so much and never want to cut it!

@@thenightingale3347 I used to have long hair too (almost waist length sometimes, and sometimes a bit shorter) and it was overheating my back when left loose 🤣 like a woolen blanket. I had to braid it and it was heavy af, I had literal headaches because of the weight pulling my scalp. I concluded that it was not worth it and now tend to have shoulder length haircuts.💇🏻‍♀️

I have super long hair (mid-thigh), and while it can be a hassle when it gets caught on things or takes me 20 minutes to wash I don't think I could ever cut it and lose the way it makes me feel when it's all flowing down my back. It's just so nice!

Feeling you on the zero urges to cut. My hair is about midtigh, and although I never wear it loose (I love me some braids, and I can't stand the feeling of hair touching my ears), I love it so much. Just the feel of my braid flowing down my back? Love it.

100% snow white. And it was like an autumn-snow white at the pumpkin patch

I was thinking the same thing! I was actually surprised she didn’t mention it herself, it was the first thing that came to mind for me!

My mother absolutely loves chopping off hair and never discouraged me from just doing whatever to mine. Rachel's mom seems to be very similar.

Second this!

Snow White! I was trying to think of which classic actress she reminded me of but yeah, it's Snow White!

Omg shaving your head feels so freeing, I miss how quickly it washed/dried and how nice it felt. Hope you are enjoying the buzzed life ❤️

I had very short hair and am now growing it out. I love the flowing fem style but just never felt like my hair matched my clothes. Is it the brainwashing all these years?🤔 all I can say is I’m not going to grow it super long since I live in a desert town.

The most feminine I've ever felt/looked was when I shaved my head.

SAME I have a pixie cut and sometimes I feel like that too and honestly PHOOEY

You can be absolutely androgynous and still be a women. How you dress doesnt define who you are!

I'm growing it out into a 90's grown-out pixie (main inspo is Winona Ryder in How to Make an American Quilt) and I found I have a middle ground between totally short and too long. That said middle where I feel the best is from grown-out pixie to middle of neck length which is still very short for most people but once it gets longer, I just don't know what do to with it besided a half-up and ponytail. Plus I'm an air-dry person and it's thick, so it takes AGES to dry when long, when I re-cut it into short pixie, the first thing I did was marvel at how quickly it dried.

A lot of times those charities will not take hair that has been processed whatsoever. Just a heads up for anyone that is thinking of donating that has dyed, permed, or otherwise chemically processed - make sure to ask if they will still be able to use your hair before sending it to them.

I grow mine out just to cut it seems like sometimes. Doesn't bother me so much, it's hair and it grows back. I've given mine to Locks of Love several times. They make wigs for children. Years ago when my hair was lighter, before having children, they especially loved getting mine. Not so much now that it's gotten darker and has gray lol

Yes, this 👆😄

Exactly my thought 😂 ❤️❤️❤️

the gremlin doesn't hobble far from the cave 😂
