Megan Bailey well im sorry that she’s probably has basically fucking nothing to be scared or sad about the saddest thing that’s probably happens was a family member died And it is sad but being a little bitch about it and having a breakdown doesn’t help her or her hair
Am I the only one who wanted to jump through the screen and just give her a hug? I don’t know... I can almost just see how she’s been feeling through her eyes looking at the mirror.
I just did this a few days ago. I forced my parents to stop in the middle of a road trip at a hair dresser and walked in and said “Take it off I don’t want it”. I felt free. I feel so much more alive.
@19brownboy81 I shaved mine once too and it felt freeing to me because I stopped caring what people would say about it and just went for it. Nobody said anything about being "held back" by their hair. That's kinda a weird way to interpret that.
They say that hair holds all memories, even the negative ones. So letting go of your hair is like releasing yourself into a new life. Have fun darling 💜
I definitely feel like that's true. I tend to grow my hair out if a sad event happened on my life. I feel like my hair's one thing I can hold onto. When I chop it off it's usually since I'm feeling more free.
I wanted to cry, I am scared if I’m honest, but I know I need this. I’m going to shave my head and I don’t care if I look like a testicle. I’ll be a beautiful nut. Edit: didn’t expect this much support like woah, maybe I’ll upload me shaving my head Edit 2.0: I DID IT! around beginning of June I shaved my head and I LOOOOVED IT. I’m gonna re shaved again cuz omfg I just adored how it looked Woaaah 646 likes????
It's so strange too. At first I thought it was a joke because it seemed so ridiculously over the top but I guess it's just a bunch of over emotional white girls.
It's not about looking good. It's about feeling good and having this liberating experience. My head is pretty long and oval, I thought it didn't suit me but 2 years later I shaved my head again and I'll never go back.
@@yourfuckingpoor64 How is that rude? It's a real mental illness and there's nothing wrong with saying that. It's way more than "changing emotions." Let's break the stigma. I, someone who struggles with bipolar disorder, feel no shame in what they said. They did not say it in a derogatory way.
i remember watching this so long ago when i wanted to shave my head but i was too scared now, i’m going to shave my head this afternoon. i’ve always wanted to, but i was scared that people would make fun of me for it. but this video helped me gain the courage to finally do it. thank you. update: i did it and i’ve never been so confident in my life. i’m so happy. thank you so much for helping me gain the confidence to do this. it’s by far my favourite haircut i’ve ever gotten and i don’t regret it one bit
Your hair was gorgeous long, then the beginnings of a pixie were stunning (without the mullet of course), and your face shines when you're finally bald. You're beautiful regardless of you hair style. I haven't shaved my head but I had a boy cut for years and I'm growing it out again. It's fun to try something new and the great thing about hair is that you can change it again whenever you like.
@@christinaholmes3082 shes not amazing shes another 1 out of a billions. Shes not this amazing thing, there are women as beautiful and even more then that right outside my door. Shes not special. next
I shaved my head after losing my mind back in October. I was needing that change. It was one of my best decisions. Every woman can pull off a shaved head. Ya'll are beautiful. 💕
Shaving your head is the most empowering and eye opening thing. I've done it twice and planning a third within the next year. EVERYONE should do it at least ONCE in their life!!! You learn so much about yourself, your natural beauty shines through and it really does ground you. Life changing experience.
Me watching this video: Omg why is she going to shave her head, her hair is so beautiful and thick Omg she looks so amazing with a shaved head, almost like it was meant for her This video was a rollercoaster
What's with the weirdos attacking you for cutting your hair? They're acting like you'll never ever be able to grow it back lol. This can be a rewarding experience, and it isn't permanent. Those people are bitter because they force themselves to live in a box with fake rules on how they're "supposed" to live life, and because of that they've got nothing better to do and just spend their time being bitter in youtube comments. Personally, I think you look gorgeous with AND without hair
Hopefully it stays that way. From my experience, most people don't even care. Some people LOVE it (and will tell you), and a really small number will hate it passionately (and will loudly comment on it within hearing range🙄). Either way, it's still worth it + highly enjoyable.
Em Evergreen I have long hair and I don't live in a box with fake rules I live by my own rules and live my life how I like it and I love my hair . At almost 41 I'm still growing it out and will never cut it!
My comment wasn't about people who prefer to keep their own hair long. It was about people who feel the need to attack someone for a hair length that they don't "approve" of. If the length of your hair brings you joy, I'm happy for you.
If you did this because you had a need to feel alive, remember that you're gorgeous inside and outside and no matter what you're going through, you're never alone and you're being loved.
Right haha!! The ladies I've seen do this look better bald then I do with my hair fully done and long and all made up lol. The feeling I'm getting is it must be empowering to do this but I'm not brave enough for this!!
Sometimes you have to do something so drastic to change the trajectory of your life. It’s very freeing. And most importantly you don’t have to be having a mental breakdown to feel the urge to wack it all off.
god I want to do this so bad. I can't even express the amount of stress and time wasting that my hair causes. I'm pretty insecure and my hair is like a shield between me and everyone else if that makes sense? So maybe someday. Bucket list for sure!
I shaved my hair when it was at my waist! I’m a very shy and insecure person as well but shaving it all off made me loosen up! I shaved mine in may and it’s already passed my shoulders. I definitely recommend ❤️❤️
@@bgarv722 Why is there a problem with posting yourself cutting your own hair. It literally brings no harm to you or anyone unless she lives in a household that values their hair like extremist it should bring no harm to her either. What's the point of your comment?
Amber Pockelé // it kind of is. when hair grows, gets dyed, gets straightened, gets ripped, or anything like that happens to it, it loses it’s natural health and becomes unhealthy and doesn’t feel the same as how it first came out. cutting all the hair off allows for healthy thick hair to take it’s place
Once u have thin hair u will always have thin hair. It’s proven that ur hair doesn’t grow thicker if u shave it. It’s a myth. I wish. I would be shaving it all the time lol
I shaved my hair off when I was 11. Trust me when I say it is the best, most empowering feeling ever. and its the prettiest I've ever felt in my life. 100% recommend.
I’ve always thought about shaving my head, but as much as I say I don’t care what people say, deep inside I think I really do. But at the end when you looked at yourself in the mirror you seemed to be freed from something.. and I think I’m ready to be freed from all of my something’s too. Thank you so much, you’ve given me the final push I needed to change who I am. ❤️
You go girl. Yes it is a very liberating experience and you definitely feel free. And if you decide you don't like it you can always wear a wig. I definitely think that every woman should do it at least once in their lives.
Lisa did you buy clippers? Did you buzz your hair. If not you should go for it girl. Bet you will rock it just like our lady here on the video! Please reply please.
Just Me it depends on your origins and genetics for how long it will grow but if you keep it healthy n stuff it will grow faster, try caster oil and stuff for fast growth.
Kate Z yeah, I wonder what I would need to use. I know I have scalp issues like itchiness, scabs, and dandruff, so I’m guessing I’d need some sort of medicated scalp products. Also, it’s not lice because I’ve been checked for that already, so I guess I should see a dermatologist.
I am a guy who has almost always had long hair. I think a lot of people go though this and shave their heads. I did this in my 1st year of college was a total wreck of a human then dropped out of college and eventually moved on to find me way. My wife had a similar experience. I am 46 now and realized life moves on. Everyday is precious. I have lost a lot of friends over the last 5 years and everyday is special. I live it like its my last.
I shaved my head last month and I currently go to high school and at first I was incredibly scared and shy and thought that everyone would judge but I actually had really awesome supportive friends and teachers and I’ve felt more confident than ever and so far my hair has grown a lot, when I shaved my head I used nair, scissors and an eyebrow razor. You look absolutely amazing
Wow! You have amazing confidence! So brave and powerful believe it or not! It’s scary to let go of something that comfort you but in the end you let go of that comfort and started a BRAND NEW YOU!! and NO ONE ☝️ can take that away! Just Spectacular!! You Go Girl!!
@@evanfiend how is it weird? Do you deal with self harm feelings? I do and have since I was a teen. I would rather shave my head than cut my skin and possibly die of an infection. I stopped cutting my hair off 4 yrs ago. I haven't cut it or had it cut. I haven't dyed it either. I haven't cut my self since I waa 34 am 48 now. I fight daily with my urge to self harm. Mainly I bite my nails. When they are too low to bite my mind thinks about getting my mates hair Clippers and shaving my long hair off. Than I think if I do this it only last a few days than I'm right back to needing a release which means skin cutting. I've got rubber bands I use now.. Not the same. But my hair is still growing long. My life is still safe from not cutting my skin. Unless you are there you don't understand. It's not something we can just get over.. It is not something we ask for.
My anxeity wont let me enjoy the video because all I can think is "Are you ok? How are you feeling?". But you look AMAZING! It suits you soooooo well! I'm so jealous! My forehead is huge so I cant ever rock a shaved head. Much love.
having long af hair and cutting it all off was the most liberating experience of my life - i recommend it to any women. you hair does not determine your beauty. Stop treating your hair like a security blanket. If you are able to make the choice to do it - do it. Your hair will always grow back :) ***however i understand this to be very untrue for women who had NO CHOICE in the losing of their hair (ie. chemo...) i do work with breast cancer patients doing reconstructive surgeries and it is very heart breaking for many***
I've done the short cut, not liberating at all. I love my hair long inspite of people always telling me I should cut it. So for me, I would not recommend, it's not some miracle cure to get your life back on track. But eh, what works for some, might not work for others. Shave your head if you really want to, have long hair if that's what is making you happy. ❤️
What is it with people? Have had my head shaved for well over 10 years, and when strangers see my head they automatically think I have cancer! I am 63, and I still can't stop running my hands over my just shaved bonce! Free your head!!!
@@pinkwind ha. Yes they do. I didn't even go all the way, just shaved sides n short on top and i got asked by a friend at work if i was "ok". Lol. But she meant will so I wasn't bothered by it at all. It would be totally different coming from a stranger
It suits you! I shaved my hair off in the 70's (I was a punk) and my mother went nuts and sought the help of a psychiatrist who declared it as "normal teenage exploration behaviour", she was not happy with that and thought the doctor would be onside with her, LOL! If you still have the long pieces have you thought about donating to a cancer charity to be made into wigs?
I've just had a look on some hair donation websites and it seems that some will accept hair that is dyed or bleached, as long as there are no colours like blue, green, purpe etc. A small proportion of grey hair can be acceptable too. Hair extensions and dreadlocks are not acceptable. Seems that they are more concerned with length (obviously!). I'm in the UK, maybe rules are different elsewhere depending on the charity.
Girl, you look so beautiful!! I shaved my hair in may. My hair right now literally looks that mullet you had!! 🤣 It’s just how my hair grows 🤷🏻♀️🙄🙄 Watching this made me feel all of the emotions I had when I shaved mine! I loved this video. Hope all is well 💕
What is the reason behind it is it like an empowering thing? Breaking stereotypes or just generally not giving a fuck what people think?im intrigued to know why so many girls are doing this lately 😕❤️ not being negative just want to understand abit more.
lilly mai My mom went through Chemo and radiation 🙂 She had to shave all of her hair. Actually, it mostly came all out with a comb. She wasn’t too sure about her feelings about it until later that night I had too shaved off my hair. It made her feel so much more confident! Not only her but me myself 🙂 My hair is already passed my shoulders. Best decision I’ve ever made 😁
@@moriahwillard2259 wow you are literally amazing to do that for your mom, now whatever happens in the future thats something you and your mom will always remember, you must be really close I hope she is doing well now or as well as you can do after having cancer. ❤️
for everyone in the comments who’s ‘too scared to shave their heads’ just do an undercut! i’ve had one for a few months now bc it’s so nice to feel the freshly cut hair in the back but when i’m not feeling it, i can just have my hair down and no one has to know it’s there
Kaitlyn D they’re actually very common among girl with ‘afro’ hair. undercuts help get rid of a lot of the unnecessary thickness in your hair so you can wearing it in more styles
Undercuts SUCK to grow out. I’ve been growing mine (I also had the sides shaved) out for a few months and it’s finally collarbone length. Before I cut my hair into a short bob it looked like I had bad extensions...
My mom used to buzz the back or side of her head bc her hair was super thick and having all of it was too much work too maintain plus was was super heavy and made summers hell
You are so beautiful before and after!! I did the same thing a month after you did. And I felt so free and realized it didn’t matter what anybody else thought! Besides.... it’s hair. It grows back☺️
Kate TheTakiKween excuse my language but fuck them. It’s not their hair. Just keep your chin up and don’t let them get under your skin. Do what YOU want
Kate TheTakiKween sorry I never saw this lol. It doesn’t matter what they think. My mom said I looked like a dyke. But my hair was so dead. It was and still is the best decision I made for my hair. It’s so healthy. If you want to do it I think you should. I doubt you would regret it. (Well maybe for a little bit) but after a few months it starts to grow back and you look super cute! Don’t worry about what others say!!
It’s been awhile since these videos started to show up in my recommendations and I’m getting motivated to cut my hair but bot shave it tho, my hair is so so long and it’s been a part of my identity like ppl always refer to me “the girl with the long hair” i love it but since last year i started hating it so much it’s so heavy so thick so wavy and so long! And that’s not a good combination so i think I decided to cut my hair to my collar bones
xLonerx yah i should but I don’t know if I’m ready for a big chop, i saiid maybe i cut it little by little so i can see what length im comfortable with because I haven’t seen my hair shorter than my chest ever in my life
Shehanna Alharthi I used to have super long thick hair and I cut it all and regretted it, lmao now I’m working on growing it back and getting my hair healthy again. I’d seriously do anything to have my long hair back so yeah. just be careful and try to cut it little by little so you’re sure you like it or try layers!:)
Shehanna Alharthi yeah the change can feel weird but I hope you love it! I’m sure your hair is even more healthy now! and yeah my hair has made some progress, but thanks I’ll try the coconut oil though:) it’s not too bad, I just can’t wait to get it long again haha
lauren n also a technic we use here is when you apply the oil to your hair you flip it and massage your scalp for 10 minuets when your head is downwards so the blood cycle gets active in your hair and makes it grow longer if you do that every week or other week! Test it out it’s worth it and thank you for your kind words hope your hair gets long fast
There’s almost something liberating watching a woman save her head. It’s a way of letting go, letting God and humbling yourself to new experiences. Plus, you look damn good! 🔥
I have Ehlers-Danlos Syndrome which causes joint instability and my head, neck and upper back have been in so much pain I have been trying to figure out when the time is right for me to shave off my purple dreadlocks that are down to my waist. They are very heavy and I know the weight is contributing to my pain and weakness. I don't know when I'll do it. But I think soon. I have been bald (with bangs and sideburn hair) many times so I don't know why I'm so scared. I love my dreads, it's a huge change. Thank you for showing this transformation and your boldness and bravery to change your appearance in such an extreme way. You look beautiful!
I have Elhers Danlos as well. It’s a hard one to explain to people. One because it’s not very heard of, and two, a lot of the symptoms contradict one another. “So like, you’re hypermobile yet stiff at the same time? You dislocate all your joints but feel like they’re locked?” It sucks. My mom is basically crippled by it but luckily I got it to a much lesser degree than her. I am so glad RU-vid has become a platform for uncommon illnesses and syndromes to become widely talked about. I will definitely check out your cousins channel Viv!
Well, I still have my dreads. I feel EDS has stolen so much from me....my social life, nearly all my friends, my two very different yet very challenging careers, my business I grew from the ground up, and my ability to earn any money. It has also caused me to gain 50 pound in the past year and a half, after being skinny my entire life which has caused me to be unable to wear any of my favorite clothes and I am now in splints, casts and braces from head to toe, leaving me without my personal style and individuality. Due to the connective tissue disorder I now understand why all of my many tattoos took so much time to heal and caused unimaginable infections, and I have taken out all the metal beads from my dreadlocks and every piercing I have so that I can get my neverending MRI'S and scans from head to toe. I am heading in to surgery for gasteoparesis for a feeding tube which has stopped my ability to eat or even tolerate being around food or food smells. So I have decided that although my arms are way too weak to tighten and fix the extra fuzzies of new growth and the loosening of the roots of my dreads, I have given enough of myself away to this disease and have even begun having seizures now from Dysautonomia syncope. I don't know if or when I might give in and get rid of my hair. But I'm really unhappy with the way I look after all the weight I've gained and can't imagine not having my outward appearance of my individuality after all this disease has taken from me. I really want to do my own RU-vid channel about my experience with this illness considering the majority of the people I have seen who do weekly vlogs about it are literally half my age, and the reality of it is that it takes most people more than 20+ years to get the proper diagnosis (as it did me). Unfortunately, I don't have an income or a camera or a laptop to record the vlogs or edit them. So for now, I go to doctor appointment after doctor appointment and surgery after surgery and then I'm home asleep because I'm too tired to do much else. I am so discouraged by having lost my social life and everything I have been interested in, my talent was equestrian which clearly I can't afford or physically tolerate anymore. I was a nurse for 15 years and then a dog groomer for another 10, before all of that I gave riding lessons and went to punk shows. I miss my life. I miss having a life where I could connect with people on any level through my interests. I hate to complain and sound like such a bummer, but I'm just spending my life trying to get through each day. That to me isn't a life. Where is the quality in that? At 44 I have a long road in front of me and just hope that it doesn't continue to only consist of the only social life I have being the countless doctor and specialist appointments I have on such a routine basis. Even just to share my life through RU-vid would be so much more inspiring and I'd feel like there's a lot more quality in reaching out that way than just day after day of this same old thing. Thank you for sharing your cousin's channel with me. I will definitely be checking that out. I really appreciate your comments, and appreciate your words of encouragement and support!
At first minutes of video You look angry, sad and scared. Sometimes we need big change for new start. It is something like point that symbolize new life. Now You look like YOURSELF 😃 FRESH, BRAVE, HAPPY and BEAUTIFUL.
When I was diagnosed with breast cancer, I'm sad to say that one of my (and most women's) thoughts was that I was going to lose all my hair. People may assume it's just vanity, but it is so much more than that. A lot of our self identity is attached to our hair. I can 100% say that losing all my hair was the best thing that's ever happened! I had to reset a lot of notions about how I faced the world because there was nothing to hide behind anymore. I was always told that shaving your head at least once should be on every woman's list. At the time, I wouldn't have had the guts, but I'm glad it happened anyway. Be bold and do it! You'll be surprised how good you look and discover features you've never really noticed. It is the most liberating thing you'll do for yourself. And during lockdown is the perfect time. Hair grows back! I was completely bald at the end of 2017 and now my hair is halfway down my back. It's also a great move if you have damaged hair or want to stop coloring it without dealing with growing the color out. I'd do it again!
girl i feel whatever you are going through and your amazing with or without hair, also the song you played is literally one of my favs, thank you girl for this sensation of well idk what it is but thank you 🥺
this gave me so much anxiety to watch. I cut my hair to just above shoulder length about 5 years ago and i regretted it the minute i got home from the hair salon. It’s taken 5 years and a pregnancy (pregnancy makes ya hair grow) to get it back down to my butt. don’t get me wrong, YOU LOOK AMAZING! Just imagining shaving my own head is making me sweat a little lol
Nothing feels better than being a woman and shaving your head yourself. It feels as if you’re finally taking control and just having a fresh start. I myself cut my hair back in 2010, and haven’t grown it back since. I love it better that way because I have nothing to hide behind, and it’s easier to manage. Btw it looks awesome on you!
You’ve no idea the amount of bravery this takes. You always gain strength through pushing past boundaries and your comfort zone. Well done you. It’s only hair it will grow back and you’ve gained emotional depth.
It’s a very liberating feeling when you shave your head. Speaking from experience I loved it. And honestly I want to do it again. ❤️ at the end she looks as if she free 💕
That is the Best time to shave it when your hair is ruined Lol I’ve done it several times because I was always experimenting on my hair with bleach and hair color 🤣🤣🤣now I’m starting to get bits of Grey so I cut it real short just yesterday to see my natural hair color, I love that it is softer and healthier and still almost all brown!🤣🤣🤣 I’m 62 now I’ve had long and very short hair and every thing in between so I say do whatever you want 👊🏻
You can get it cut to a cute pixie first,you don't have to shave it all if you're nervous about it. You can always cut off more later if you still want to..I just did exactly that and I already want to cut more off. But I don't think I would look good bald..this girl is brave though!
