The truth about short curly hair 😳 and new pixie cut! 

The daring, positive, and CONFIDENT energy is everything!!! Cutting your hair unleashed that BOSS BABE!!!! 🤍

I couldn’t relate more to the idea that “my long curly hair is my identity” I straight up didn’t want to cut my hair because I thought having long curly hair was my THING, but then I just said fuck it and chopped it all off and it’s so much healthier and fuller. You are actually the one who inspired me to even consider getting as much off as I did. I now am thriving with 15 inches less of my old self and I couldn’t be happier ❤️

This looks stunning with your face shape and makes your features stand out. Really classy, stylish look!

I just read something about when a woman cuts her hair short, she's going through serious stuff or having a mental breakdown... dude. I love the fact that you and other women are smashing that assumption. I've literally lived the past 20 years in cycles - growing long then cutting super short. I love the drastic change and the freeing feeling you get when you chop it all off. I also was dedicated to donating virgin hair to places that create wigs for children and burn victims. There is a super awkward grow out phase with pixies. It lasts about 9-12 months if you have average to low hair growth rate (1/2-1/4" per month). But it allows you to get creative with your styles - or - have fun with wigs! I always though about shaving my head ever since I was a teenager after I saw a woman with her head shaved for the first time in my life. I thought she looked incredibly strong and brave and super cool. Finally, after 20 years, I did it myself. Yeah, I cheated a little bit because I buzzed it when the whole world shut down back in March 2020 - but I regret nothing! I absolutely loved it. The only thing that was keeping me from shaving it was the fear of what people would think, "OMG - she's having a mental breakdown" or "girl looks like a dude" or whatever. That fear was the tipping scale for me. It's been more than 19 months since the shave and I'm loving the grow out and have a waist - length goal in mind... but honestly.. I'll probably shave it again once I reach my goal or get sick of it along the way LOL. As long as you can stand the weird grow-out lengths... go for a shorter 'do if that's what you want to do. It's your hair and guess what - it grows back. PS - I'm sorta low key sus that Penny will shave her head one day 🔥

Literally cut my hair after watching you cut yours! Best decision I ever made my confidence has just skyrocketed 💕 finally can appreciate my curly hair and love wearing it down!

Short hair fits you so well :')

I'm sure all my hairy girls here and maybe Penny can relate to this. I once asked the stylist to cut my hair in a short almost-pixie cut. This woman told me it's best not to, or I'll have to wax the hair behind my ears and neck because it will show with the short hair.THE NERVE. I was 15 at the time, and didn't really know how to stand up for myself, and she really brought my self-esteem down at the time. But now I just do whatever I want and cut my hair myself. AND I NEVER WAX THE HAIR BEHIND CAUSE I NEVER CARED ABOUT IT! I don't see it, I don't care for it lol

I think the most respectable thing about any type of professional is when they will actually tell you they’re not comfortable giving you what you asked for. I would recommend them to others just for being honest

I literally died when you showed us the finished results of your final cut. It looks. SO. DAMN. GORGEOUS; literally 🔥.

I thought I loved your first haircut, then you did your second and OMG, it looks so cute! **Cries in Spanish** 😍🙌

Girl, I love to see you grow into a happier, more confident version of yourself. You look stunning 💕

I got a pixie cut almost five months ago and I absolutely love it so much. It’s a bit shorter than yours, think Twiggy or the actress from Harry Potter when she got her curly hair cut into a short pixie cut (I don’t know her name). Unfortunately I have to let my hair grow out because I can’t afford to get the trims every four weeks to maintain the style which I didn’t think of when I first got the hair cut because I didn’t know how in love with it I was gonna be. Having short hair has been wonderful and I’ve been recommending it to everyone to try at least once, the showers and not having to worry about hair is just amazing. I’m sad to have to grow it out because this style has finally made me feel like myself, long hair just isn’t me anymore, not even shoulder length. Maybe one day I will have the funds to keep up with the pixie haircut trims, fingers crossed.

I got a pixie cut when I was 22… I had just gotten out of the hospital after a suicide attempt. And I cut my hair off because I felt like we’ll nothing matters and I want less things to worry about. It was fine … I straightened it a lot though. Then I went to get it re shaped and cut because the up keep is annoying. And this woman ruined my hair! She gave me a mullet before those where trendy. And I paid $60 for that trash. And I spent a whole year growing it back out. After that I never straightened my hair again and it’s past my chest. And I still don’t like to deal with it. Lol. I’m always in a constant battle. But I’m getting it cut in 2 weeks! Still don’t know what to do with it. We’ll see what happens. It looks mad cute on you though penny!

I cut my hair short yesterday so the timing of this video is a godsend. I still feel a bit overwhelmed with all of it gone, because like you said it’s almost like losing your identity. But seeing your confidence in this video inspires me! I think I’ll get to where you are!

Penny your videos are so unique and funny! I remember being here watching your videos 4 years ago on curly hair, me growing mine out as a guy. Its so great to see your channel grow, nothing but the best! Thanks for always being you!

I LOVE YOUR HAIR IN EVERY LENGTH! and I had a pixie cut twice cuz I've had long hair for at least 18 years of my life so once I've started cutting it I never stopped, it's addicting, it makes you feel good, and in control, and it's exciting to see how it will turn out.

omg girl you look STUNNINGGG! welcome to the short curly hair gang 😜 I cant wait to see what styles you do with the new length

It looks so good! I love how your facial features really stand out with the short haircuts.

I just wanna say you inspire me so much with your most recent videos. There’s so much I’ve been going through mentally and I just appreciate you sharing your journey with us because it makes me feel less alone

Honestly girl I love this cut even better than the first! It looks perfect on you love! Love the videos!

I’m loving your vibe when it comes to living your life and doing what’s best for you. Also, I’m def feeling your decorative pieces in the room your are filming! 👍🏽

Love it !!! I’m one of those people who’s hair is straight at the roots and starts to wave/curl the longer is gets so my “pandemic journey” has been embracing my natural curl instead of straightening it into shape as I’ve done for the last 10+ years. It is a lot of effort, but I haven’t appreciated my hair as much as I do now that I know how to care for it. I tried a pixie cut, I’ve tried bangs, I’ve tried no bangs, I’ve tried long, short, and medium length. Nothing has given me as much satisfaction as just letting my natural curl form with the right wash/post-wash routine. I feel like a ball of static when I don’t give my hair the right care these days 😂 Glad you were able to embrace a style that works for you! Keep becoming the you that you always wanted to be 🙌

The slick look is STUNNING on you!! You’re really making me have *thoughts* about going short

Every new video your hair looks even better and you look even happier it's wonderful to watch!

Girl you rock it! I decided one year ago cut my long hair just for try something different and I love it, I just can't imagine about going back to long hair again Love your confidence ❤️

Yooo thank you so much! I love how vulnerable you are and your honesty about…well everything lol! My hair is definitely at its longest and I really wanna donate it and I’m so nervous of going to someone That DOESNT know what they’re doing. Thank you for your advice Prima!!! Cuídate!!!!

You have been one step behind me with your shorter haircuts and I 100% agree with you with the short curly hair lifestyle, I'm loving my hair lately. Better then when it was long.

YOUR NEW HAIR CUT LOOKS SO GOOD ON YOU OMGGGG YOU LOOK SO EMPOWERED AND BEAUTIFUL!!!! 💕

This was uploaded with perfect timing. I’m eating with nothing to watch.

The new cut is stunning! I’ve had short pixie cuts all my life because I straightened and relaxed it so much it wouldn’t grow 🥲. Now 2 years into my transition and finally have curly healthy hair past my shoulders 🥳 it’s my time for long hair now in my late twenties 🤣💗

I love this new look on you Penny ! It makes your facial features glow even more!

You look absolutely stunning 😍 I was obsessed when you initially cut your hair, and I'm obsessed all over again now! I LOVE short hair on you, it suits you perfectly. You look like a timeless beauty

The short curly hair suits you, I’m proud of you making that decision ! Wishing you the best 🖤

Your hair is beautiful. I love the African women who have like, short hair cuts where you see their neck and it looks super elegant. You have the same sort of style here with the new cut. Love it! My goal is to still have it as long as yours used to be, down to the waist. Maybe an update of how to take care of hair would be really great penny ! 🙌🏼🥰

Just got a big chop and almost regretted it but YOU OUT HERE GIVING ME CONFIDENCE WITH EVERY VIDEO ❤️❤️ love you and your representation thank you 🙏

Girl those STYLES THO!!!! Looks amazing, killing it

I love the way you speak and your humour 😍

girl, you’re inspiring me to keep my curly hair short as well! it’s just so gorgeous ❤️

Stunning! Love that you are having so much more fun with your hair since you had it cut.

My hair was very long, but extremely frizzy, curly with a ton of split ends, and super high maintenance. People told me I shouldn't cut it, I'll regret it, but that hasn't been the case. I 100% respect and understand your decision to go short, it's freeing and you can start from scratch caring for it.

I love all of this so much! I had my husband cut my long hair in January and I can't believe how easy curly hair life can be! I didn't realize what a stressor my long curly hair was in my life! During the pandemic, working as a nurse, my long hair just became a nuisance to me. I actually just keep wanting to go shorter!

I'm happy for you !! I can tell you're super pumped for the short hair and it looks great!

The bold energy and super classy! You radiate with this haircut man! I had a pixie cut and I loved it! Growing out phase was the real enemy

The thumb nail alone had me smiling and screaming en Español 😁😊. Why your bad hair day still looking like a good one 😁

I totally agree! I have been trying to grow my hair out for the longest and I was been disappointed for years and felt not good enough. It wasn’t until recently that I decided to cut it pretty short and I’ve never been more confident

Omgosh, YES!!! You're hair cut is GORGEOUS 🤩 I love it! I'm actually growing mine out right now, but I really miss my pixie hair. I'll probably go back to it sometime this spring, when the weather warms back up. Welcome to the pixie club!

I can relate sooo much! I also cut my hair very short this summer and I LOVE IT! I cant imagine going back to long curly hair for the moment! You look amazing!!!!

When I had my hair this short it represented a time when I didn't accept or love myself or my curls. Im glad you did this it feels like it healed a part of me too :) But growing out my hair made me accept it natural so I'll probably stay with it long for a bit longer.

I cut my waist length curly hair into a pixie at the end of my senior year of high school, i didn't tell anyone before going to the salon because i knew they would try to convince me out of it! i knew what i wanted and it was the best decision! i spent the beginning of college, cutting it shorter and shorter, buzzing it off myself in my dorm, dying it colors and having fun. Now i'm a senior in college with a curly bob and i can't see myself having hair any longer than this for the rest of my life!

omg beautiful queen!!! the purple shirt and short hair at end is giving Rizzo from Grease. Love it!

Ahhhh I almost love the pixie cut more than the last style !! You’re so beautiful 💛 radiating confidence

Girl, YES! I have long curly red hair (Princess Merida style) and I got massive shade when I chopped off my hair. The compliments just came to a halt. It was tough for me at first. It's like I relied on compliments to define my self worth. But I was having so much fun with my short hair! Granted, it was higher maintenance. I went through all the stages you went through and finally ended up at, I'm too broke to upkeep this massive weed on my head. I can't wait to chop my hair off again!

You look svelte Penny. Thank you for the tips. Yes, short curly hair sometimes is quite scary in the morning! Im sure you know this, but just conditioner wash to decrease shampoo use.

Penny! Those pictures are amazing! Your confidence and courage were front and center. I loved your pictures.

This hair looks AMAZING on you! Recently got a curly pixie myself‚ also have zero regrets. Would love to see an updated hair routine for yours 👀

This cut is amazing. It looks so good on you. Definitely gives mature "I got this" vibes.

Okayyyy Penny I see youuu at 2:21 👀🤌🏽👌🏽 I cut my curls to a really short pixie (the underside was shaved) in April and I'm currently growing it out. My hair was down to my rear end and I totally miss it 😢

Your curly hair is so versatile! You can rock it at any length, love it!

These hair look soooo good on you!!! You’ve really inspired me!!!

I’ve had long curly hair my whole life, and just got into caring for my curls 2 years ago. Been wanting to try a short cut but have been terrified to take the leap. When you said your identity used to feel like it was tied to your long curls… god, I feel that, and I’m tired of feeling like if my curls aren’t long and frizz-free, then they’re not cute. It’s so hard to maintain and so stressful day to day.

I've had every cut and color and done all the styles you could think of. I've got curls too. I grew up extremely poor though, so I got one haircut a year, and it would be a pixie cut, and then for a whole year, it would just grow. We didn't have the money to take care of my hair properly, we were on that 97 cent suave life yall. I didnt know what a leave in, or a mask was until I was like, almost 18. But as an adult I've really learned my hair and played around with it so much more. I just want to let yall know that it's so worth it to cut it all off even just one time, too see what it's like. As an AFAB person, so much of our femininity is tied to hair length and freeing yourself of that is so good. To truly have your femme energy come from within you and not something on the outside. It's a powerful journey that I wish for everyone. Even if you just grow it right back out and never cut it short again, it's still something that you've done to prove to yourself that long hair doesn't define you. Penny is so right about how long hair is the ideal but it should be a preference. I believe the same for men, grow your hair out, even just once. It teaches you more about you as a person and what you like and introduces you to questioning those roles and stigmas we are fed based on our assigned genders. I have guy friends who only ever got one haircut their whole life cuz it's the cut their dad got, or the cut their mom picked. Then they met me and I'm very much a "if it makes you uncomfortable or scared, but it's not going to actually harm you, then it's a sign to just do it." (Obvs this is for things like hair length or trying new things like a new style or new food, etc. I do not encourage unsafe situations. If yall are uncomfy that's also a sign to stop if it's like, you know, a serious situation. If that makes sense. Gotta clarify before someone goes off in the comments) but, back to the topic, they met me and now they're questioning so much of the things they do or of what they were programmed to be. Gender roles, style, religion, etc. It's ALWAYS good to explore and find out for yourself what you truly like, unattached to what society says. And if it looks bad, (hair) then you can always get a wig, wear a hat or a bandana, or get it cut a different way to look better (that pixie grow out stage is an ever present battle with mullets, so if mullets aren't your thing, trims are your new bff) or find new ways to style it. It takes about a year for my hair to grow out to my shoulders from completely shaved. My hair grows fast, but about a year, is where a pixie grows out into a bob. So what's a year of uncomfortability for a lifetime of the things you'll learn about yourself?

God, you’re gorgeous and I feel like the short hair helps to highlight your beautiful features way better than the long hair. I’m loving this hair journey for you 🖤😍

Omg your hair and you look so sophisticated and beautiful. What an inspiration!

This shorter haircut is YESSSSS on you girl! I’m only sad that you feel like you have to defend cutting your hair. You look radiant.

Was NOT expecting you to get another haircut! It looks so nice! Was this before you got your tattoos or after? The beanie in the tattoo video and the long sleeves in this one are confusing me with the timeline 😂

You look absolutely stunning and I'm feeling this liberated energy shine through ✨ 😍

You look gorgeous! I can see you with any type of haircut, down to buzzed sides and curly on top. You always look so elegant no matter what! But this shorter haircut really brings out your facial features which , now looking back, were drowing in your previous long hair. Gorgeous!!!

Another pro: you dont need that much stuff. No hairstyles, bobby pins, serums for split end or shine, hairspray... when its really short like a pixie no conditioner. Magic

Yay! Welcome to the short curly hair club! This cut looks so f--king great on you!

I AM OBSESSED YOU LOOK SO GOOD!!!

I love both lengths on you, the short-medium at the beginning and the pixie cut at the end. These types of haircuts look sooo good on you. Also, the curls look glossy and defined but really natural at the same time and love that chocolate colour on them...

Love both short looks on you. I have had pixie cuts before, but I straightened them. My current haircut is ever so slightly longer than your previous short cut and I love it. I feel the same way, my hair is an extension of my self and my self expression. Yay, Penny! Love, love, love this!

I love how u make every video truly Valuable! With a comedy sense 🚀🤍

PERIODDDD we LOVE it! It looks so good on you Penny 🥺🥺🥺

I appreciate you sm. I've had super short curls for the past year and I litterally never find anyone else who has curls that are actually short. Love the hair🥰

I love these pixie cut videos, I've been going down this rabbit hole for past hour

Wow your new hair looks even better !!! Love it !!!

I absolutely LOVE your pixie cut! I think it suits your face shape more than your previous cut. But you look stunning anyway your hair is, cuz you're a queen! Thanks for showing us a tip on how to find good stylists. You inspired me to cut my hair and I was nervous about cutting it because I've never had a good cutting experience. Abrazotes!

You look absolutely stunning! Thanks for your precious advice and the good vibes!!!

OHMYGOSH!!!! Both styles are amazing on you! 😍😍😍

You look absolutely adorable. And the best thing about it is how good it makes you feel!

I am literally in love with your hair. Like. I have no words

I'm loving this new style on you!! And I appreciate the tips that you gave at the end, especially ab asking if the stylist is confident that they can get your hair to where you want it to be!! Thanks for sharing this journey with us! xoxo -Kaitlyn

Oh my god you look gorgeous! The reveal at the end ! I’m not sure why this popped up on my homepage but this hairstyle was made for you.

PENNY. As I said previously, I like your cut, P! Looks great. I have literally been going through the same thing this year. I chopped all my long curls because it was devastating to work on for my mental health. Then I got an actual haircut which did wonders for my confidence. Then! I went even shorter with a more traditionally masculine cut. Buzzed sides and long on top. Now I've been growing it out bc its winter and it's almost long enough now that I'll be able to style it the way you've been styling your hair since your first cut. I'm so happy that you're expressing yourself the way you want to. I've been doing the same! I got a vertical labret piercing and I have a huge back and shoulders tattoo in the works. I'm still designing it mentally and need to get pen to paper. Thanks for sharing your developments. I love seeing you

Girl! Your hair looks so good! You look absolutely stunning 😍

it looks SO GOOD! i love it

AAAAAHHHH it looks soooo cute and sophisticated! Long curls are awesome, but short curls really are underrated. I love it ❤

So cute!! I love it ❤️❤️ so sophisticated and fun at the same time!

Wow! That curly pixie cut looks awesome on you! You look great giiiirl! 😊

I've been following you for a while now and used to have long curly hair, now that I did a pixie cut I feel so happy that I can still relate to you. You're absolutely right, long hair might be pretty but nothing beats the comfort and convenience of short/pixie curly hair.

Yessssss penny !!!! Welcome to the short hair gang !!!!!! Ive always have had long hair and the first time I got my pixie cut,I never looked back on having long hair

IT KEEPS GETTING BETTER AND BETTER HOWWWW

It's sooooo beautiful on you! Very elegant, chill, and chic!

you encouraged me to get the short haircut I’ve always wanted and I’m never going back to anything past shoulder length curls! I finally enjoy my hair and can just wear my curls freely
