Why I Got A Buzz Cut At 58 

Thank you for being you and helping us to be ourselves. ❤️

I'm a 23 year old woman who just got a buzzcut for the first time and i love it! The most annoying thing about it is other people's comments, but it is so much less work now and i dont regret it.

I too have burden hair...limp, thin... Then came 5 years of cancer meds. Until one day...I buzzed my hair!!! I have never felt such relief! Never been soooo empowered!! We are so badass my sister!!

I’m 67 buzz cut mine 6 yrs ago . I use a 1 guard on clippers weekly! Never was a hair person and it’s thick lots of work . With a buzz cut I’m free truly see me every time I look in a mirror 🌻

I'm 72 have had my hair buzzed some years now. I love this cut n l feel so good.

I have alopecia and chose to shave my head about 7 years old. I was 14 when diagnosed and shaved it off when around 28. I don’t miss it. I prefer a grade zero

Love your story ❤️ I’m 75 and one step from a buzz cut after hair to the waist in the 60s and styles of hair in between. I’ve buzzed both sides and back for about 5 yrs and still trying to muster up push for a total buzz. So close and you are my inspiration 💕

For the past four years or five years, I have been cutting my hair shorter and shorter and now it’s half buzz cut and being that I’m 77 years old I’m very concerned that I might look foolish, but you’ve given me confidence. I am not sure I’ll be able to do it. I’ll think about it. I’ll think about it but I’m not sure I’ll be able to make the leap, but you look beautiful by the way and it’s a perfect cut for you. Who knows I just might do it.!

Thank you for posting this. I’ve been thinking about a buzz cut for about a year. I have same hair as you and am 52 years. After watching your video I’ve decided to go for it New Year’s Eve! 🎉

Hey, grüße aus Deutschland. Folge dir schon auf Instagram und bewundere deinen Mut zur Mode und dem Buzz. Coole Haarreise. Ähnlich wie meine, nur das ich sehr dünne Haare habe. Aber ich gehe auch nächsten Monat zum Friseur und lasse mir den buzz schneiden. Mach weiter so, du bist toll. Sorry, alles in deutsch, aber mein english ist nicht so sehr gut😊

My wife has a buzz cut and I love a buzz cut on a woman.

Your cut reminds me of my aunt Val. She has a cute spiky buzz cut, and it is her signature. She is truly one of the boldest coolest most authentic women I know. ❤ rock it girl!!

I love this!! I too feel how you feel! Buzzed my hair a week ago. I see ME now and it really has instilled a confidence in me to make bolder fashion choices. This style of hair almost requires that you step outside your norm. 🥂

I am doing this tomorrow for the opposite reason - my hair is baby fine and I'm tired of fighting it. I drove to work this morning and Bono was singing "get out of your own way." This is awesome!!

I buzzed my hair off recently, and my boyfriend laughed at me and told me that I looked like a Mental patient! He is the FIRST man in my life to have ever made a remark like that to me; as I've had buzzed cuts in the past with other men in my life who all loved the cut. So, yes, it'll happen, but "to thine own self be true!" Don't let ANYONE let you feel down about being who you are!

I have been buzzing my hair for years and thank you for sharing your journey! It’s truly liberating! ❤

It is so interesting to see how many of us are going through the same hair journey. :)I feel like we are juggling and struggling with so many things in life... work, studies, relationships... our body should not be one. Thank you for the video!

You are an absolute beauty!

Thank you so much! 🥰

I've been wearing my hair pretty short for years and did the big shave around 2016, wore it like that for a while let it grow, buzz it again etc. Of all the hairstyles I've had (I'm a stylist) this gets the most attention and compliments of all. People are amazed at the guts it takes but honestly it doesn't,it's hair and if you don't like it, it will grow! And btw I'm 49 this year 😊

Your video is so heart cheering and unselfish. Thanks so much. x

Thank you for the video. I have exactly the same hair, thick and uncontrollable. I cannot believe how similar our hair journeys are. I started to go grey 20 years ago when I was in my early 30's, been colouring it since then. You have given my the courage to go for it - no more colour xxx I already have a short cut so cannot go much shorted with my cut xxx

I have super fine hair, but a LOT of it. I always had to go to hairdressers to thin it out or I had the dreaded helmet head😅 I turned 50 last August and finally got the nerve to buzz it three weeks ago. BEST decision I ever made! No more ponytail headaches, sweaty neck. I'm free!❤

Same!! I am 58 too, and finally buzzed my hair 2 months ago, I have more grey than you, and finally I am happy that I always look put together. 😎

I’ve thought about buzzing my hair forever… now is the time 💪🏻 thank you. Loved the video!

Great move! All kinds of great short hair cuts. I love it.

I have somewhat thin hair but I feel you - my hair has been such a pain in the ass my entire life. So difficult to maintain and it was always causing me so much stress and anxiety! So I finally decided to buzz it all off. I wish I had done it sooner.

You look beautiful with buzzed hair...I buzzed mine right down to the scalp and let it grow out...I love having a shower and not having to blow dry or wait to dry

Your hair journey is so similar to mine- I have TONS of thick, wavy/almost curly hair and I have tried every hairstyle known to woman. I had it down to my shoulders and am slowly inching my way up. I keep playing around with the idea of a buzz cut, and this has sealed the deal! THANK YOU!!! :) You look so amazing, and happy!

Thank you for your encouragement Love the buzz cut❤

I love you Lonnie!! You look stunning, I wish I was as bold and brave as you, not there yet.

I love your buzz cut! You look great. I'm 62 and just buzzed mine, too, and loving it. Yay us! 😊

You look super cute, your story is just like my own. I have buzzed hair and I feel so free and washing it is great,I'm 65 and I'm keeping mine to .❤

I got my first tattoo and I’m 80.

I just recently found your channel and I can't tell you how much I love what you are doing and how much it resonates with me. I just turned 59, lost a ton of weight and want to wear clothes that make me feel good regardless of what others say. Your style series inspired me to create outfit combinations that are unique and make me happy. I am also thinking about giving myself the buzz cut, but I still haven't pulled the trigger. Enough about me. I love your energy, your spirit and your fearless approach to living. You are such an inspiration. Please keep doing your thing. I think you are making a big difference in the lives of everyday women like myself!

Wonderful ! I do that till one year (I'm62 old and writing from France). I feel free, It's so easy to do it, and so practice. You are beautiful !

It does make you look younger. You've explained it all exactly how I feel and have thick hair too. I feel its just dead if I grow it. Love you, thank you!

You make this look good

Awesome!🔥

I love it so much! I have been thinking of doing it for years. So much easier! You look so good with it!

Thank you :) you are truly an inspiration and a confirmation of what I have already been telling around me for years. If have let my hair go gray since I am 30, despite people's remarks, I always had short hair but started buzzing it myself like 7 years ago. I am 47 now and it truly has been life changing, liberating and both were the best decisions I have ever made for myself. You are right we have to find ourselves and just do our thing. We owe it and do it for ourselves, not for others :)

Beautiful! Love it!!!

Great video. I'm about to go buzz my hair. Thanks. 🤗

To be honest: YOU‘RE GORGEOUS! No more words needed.

Fantastic ! I had toyed with the idea of doing this for ages, and finally took the plunge about three weeks ago and I am in love with it (at 56 years of age).

64 with a buzzcut. Part of it is purple, too.💜 I did it as a punk in the 80s, so it wasn't much of a challenge for me. Anybody who wants more inspiration, check out the Women's Barbershop videos.

I am 59 and did the same😊

Looks so good on you❤

I have had my hair really short and buzzed sometimes over the years. I just buzzed again this past weekend. I'm trying to embrace it again, but I'm feeling really down. I've never been happy with my hair. Any words of comfort?

Your amazing!! I found you looking for buzzcuts with bangs. I have longerish front framing my face and longish side burns. Rest of my hair is cut with #4 clipper blade. Last week my hairdresser messed up with the clippers. I didnt see till i got home. I've now got just about bald spot on one side. Looks awful. Unlike you I have thin hair...Sure wish I could get your opinion. After seeing all your videos I'm so ready to buzz it all, but I'm a tad worried. I'm 63 and afraid no bangs will show wrinkles, lol. But I've got wrinkles on rest of my face. I don't want to go back to my girl. Do I go to barber? Use my brand new clippers still in the box? I'm thinking just go for it...You are so freaking cool, and pretty and not afraid to try new things. I admire that about you. I suppose I'm close to that since I have a buzz cut! Please don't stop making videos. Your awesome. ps I can't help to hope you reply to this.

Empowering to hear/watch & do..!!! 😎🙌😍

You look great Lonni! I buzzed my hair earlier this year (April) on a whim - I hated the hairstyle I had (which was quite short anyway) so I just lopped it all off. I was surprised at how round my head was without hair 😁 but it was great. And no maintenance, like you said. I had never felt so free by not having to do my hair each morning. I am so tempted to do it again, especially as this time we're going into Summer over here so it won't be as cold. 😁

Yep thick hair all my life and always long until I turn 40 and had it all cut off and to my 1st pixie cut. 😊

I am 58 years old. I have been a hairdresser since I was 19. I’ve had every cut every color every length.. except a shaved head! I’ve dreamed of doing this for years. Yes my husband said .. I like long hair .. we’ve been married 37 years. We recently suddenly lost our daughter at age 32 in May. I completely lost my mental health. I’m a shell. I know hair holds trauma. This was the time…I shaved my head and have never felt more free!!❤

You look amazing, a truly modern, liberated woman… I am almost there, but as a teenager of the 70’s I am still hesitant…

This is my first time to your channel, but I can see this is more "you" than any of the other cuts. And your cheeks look higher and fuller. I think so much hair made your face look thin and pulled it down a bit. Gorgeous! For years I've wanted to go back to the pixie cut I had when I was little, but my hair is so thin on top. Nice and thick at the back.

Hello from NZ really enjoy your channel yest at 58 I too buzzed my hair it was so hard to manage.. I took you with me to the barber and now feelin fabulous..also changed too blonde ❤ so many thanks..

It is gorgeous on you! You definitely look more feminine and confident with those short hair!

You go girl! I'm 58 going gray. I've got some white around my face but with it being mostly dark with some grey in it I look so old....I've been in such a funk...yours looks so adorable. My problem is I wear glasses.

Girl I know exactly what you're saying. After 7 years of wearing my buzz cut, I finally grew out the top to an undercut pixie. But you look great and the buzz suits you it really does. Ps. I'm in Cali too. Barstow. Another plus is it was so much cooler in the summertime wearing it.

I want to be you when I grow up!! 💙✨️🩵😃 You rock!!!

I first buzzed mine at 55 - I had lots of fine, curly hair… couldn’t style it, going grey…. So I buzzed it and haven’t looked back! Yours looks fab ! Congrats on the new found freedom 😊

I love it! I’d love to do this too. My worry, I hardly ever wear any makeup and I’m not sure it would look as good without it.

Wonderful! I needed to see this! I am about 3/4 buzzed and it’s like feeling I’m 3/4 me. I’m scared and I’ve fought through so many fearful moments that I know this is important for me to do. I read a beautiful quote: “sometimes the fear won’t go away, so you have to do it afraid”. I have found out that the “fear” leaves when I take control and make change no matter what anybody thinks! You are so refreshing! I’m 68 years old and loving my crone years so much!

Rock on, girl!!❤ Love it!!

I wear my hair like yours and I LOVE IT !!!! I really like yours too !

I envy your thick hair. I have alopecia and always wished to have thick hair

Wow young lady really suits u let’s ur face breath an ur eyes an smile pop hope u keep it if I may pay a honest compliment

Gosh you are so cute, I adore you and your style. I am 45 and loving watching you. Gives me hope that as I age, I can rock ANY style and look.

I buzzed mine too (at 50). Not only is it freeing… it’s easier, quicker, more convenient and cheaper! It’s funny when it gets long enough to grab it, I catch myself saying “ugh my hair’s too long” 😂

Oh Wow I know Exactly how you feel. Mine is Super Super Thick & SO Frizzy And Out of control unless ,I overly process it with all kinds of products that just made it even more impossible 🤷🏼‍♀️ I tried the hat thing but then came the headaches so now it's just the time, time for it to just come off , I'm 53 and over the fight with my hair... So I shaved the underside around my neck to thin it out , still didn't like it so now time to cut it all off YAYYY WOW IT REALLY DOES FEEL SO FREEING!!. 💇🏼‍♀️🤗👍🏼🥰

I can totally relate to this I used to have my hair in a Bob cut and I hated it I now have a buzz cut and I love it I'm 59 years old.

Thank you so much. I'm preparing to do my last step to buzz cut my grey hair 😊

I want to do this so badly! I have Uber thick, wavy and coarse textured hair... it's long too! I have been coloring it for many years and I'm sick of coloring it. I am white! This would get me to where I want to be in an instant! Love it!

You look awesome buzzed.

Hey I have a love hate relationship with mine too. My hair is fine and thin. I am going to buzz it at home. Wish me luck!

I'm also 67 y.o. Been buzzing my hair for nearly 14 yrs. I have fine strait limp hair, round face & a short fore head . I have felt bound up all my life bc of my hair, couldn't even free my minimalist Bohemian style. So I too just did it and it was freeing. My daughter hates it but has finally accepted my way. Be yourself, dress your style, & tell society to go hang on a nail. BE YOUR BEST YOU, HOWEVER & WHOEVER THAT MIGHT BE!❤❤❤

I thoroughly enjoyed this video and I love your style!!! I told myself that I would Buzz cut my hair when I turned 50, well I'm about 3 years behind schedule but truthfully right on time. Earlier this month I scheduled an appointment for the 22nd to get my buzz cut. It will be the lowest cut I've ever done and the 4th of my "big chops"!

Last time you asked for suggestions, I mentioned “buzz cut”. I’m pleased that you finally did it! When you’re ready, go shorter.

I so wish I could do this…I do have quite a dent from a childhood accident a few inches above my ear…I also don’t care for makeup and feel whenever I am short that I need more makeup, which I am sure is not true and just my own insecurities, 61 and still worried what people think…

I have gone back and forth with buzzing my hair, but my ears stick out and one side stands straight out ruining the look. It’s a front bang cowlick. Any advice? Of course you buzz looks fabulous.

SO fabulous! What I love best is that we can see YOU without hair hiding you.

I have thick, wavy, dark brown hair that I loved to dye black, and occasionally experimental colors. It's a great texture for a mohawk, which I've had twice and loved, but the maintenance wasn't for me. In my mid- to late twenties, I finally overcame my obsession with wanting to tame my hair into lying down smooth and straight. I embrace the fact that I look like a distant relative of Edward Scissorhands, and I let my hair choose how it wants to behave. But even the bare minimum of washing and combing it every day is relatively exhausting to me. If it grows to ponytail-able length, it's too warm and too in the way and too explosive a lot of the time, plus I shed a stupid amount when it's been tied together for a day. Like weed, it's very forgiving of diy choppings and it grows quickly, so keeping it short is work, too, and I hate enduring salon treatments. I buzzed all of it off once, several years ago. I would say that, besides my first mohawk, it's the most liberating, empowering feeling anyone could ever feel through a haircut, especially when it's self-administered. I loved it. I'm currently growing out the black dye because I'm hopeful that I'm finally getting a full grey streak or two, which I don't want to miss. A short, straight 1920's bob has been my personal favorite of all time; I find myself returning to that the most when I want to 'reset' my semi-cyclical hair metamorphoses. I find myself shifting between impulsive, excited changes and lazy care. Growing out the dye is both boring and stressful, so I started to think about whether I want to buzz it once more. But I do want to ask - how do you get your hair to lie down flat?! Mine was sticking out Monchichi-style as soon as it started growing, which led to a really bizarre two or three months I'm not fully sure I want to revisit. 😅

Same thick hair misery here :D The longest hair I have ever had was 1 meter. Now I'm trying to find some empowerment to do the final step and buzz the rest of it next month. Thank you for this video, I'll rewatch it for sure. You look stunning!

You look great! I love your young at heart attitude and sense of stylistic adventure! You seem to be so much fun!

I am 78 and have recurring alopecia..I have a wig..the hair has been patchy but t long....(doing that comb over thingy) short and patchy....well I decided a body can only put up with so many bald patches...electric razor was brought out..spoken to told him to be kind to me....and proof hair gone...sporting a patchy gray buzz cut...must say I am rather chuffed!!!!!😂😂❤😊

Thanks for helping me decide - took the razor to my hair today and now feel so much more like me 💕💕

Wish I could its having the confidence to do it 😢 my hairs quite short but have been thinking of going the whole buzzcut ?????

A free-spirited cut for a free-spirited woman! Stay beautiful, free and fabulous!!! Love your spirit and video!!

Love it!

If 65 and I love my buzzcut. Also love/ hate my hair as it is very fine and very straight.

I’m 38… your story resonates with me so much. I have thick curly hair. I cut it super short when I was in high school and I knew immediately that that was me. Over the years I’ve put myself in a box that I thought I belonged in, and longer hair was part of being in that box. I’ve struggled with self esteem issues as long as I can remember… I always fall back into thinking I need long hair to be pretty or feminine and soft. But the truth of the matter is that hair doesn’t make you any of those things. It’s a difficult way of thinking to break out of. When my hair is long, it’s all I think about, stress about. Everyone loves it long, they always say how beautiful it is. It is beautiful on a good day but for most of the time it’s a pain in the butt. So I completely understand what you’ve gone through.

ALL of your hairstyles looked beautifull. I really don't understand why you talk badly about yourself/your hair. I didn't see a single bad hairstyle. 🤷‍♀️

Hello, I have a question for anyone who may know. I've been thinking about buzzing my hair. I have to sleep on one side do to chronic back pain and times that I have cut my hair even shorter when I wake up my hair has spread out in one place that leaves a bald spot but I have just enough hair that I can keep brushing to the side to cover up that spot until it grows out. So my question is if I was to buzz my hair would I still get that bald spot in the mornings or would my hair be so short that it wouldn't do anything to it at all? THANKS!😊

You look amazing for 58. And I love your style. I have the same haircut as you. I've had my hair this short many, many times but, this time around I'm not quite feeling it

The all the same length looked good. You just have use a big round brush and dry it with a blow dryer that smooth it out. Don't like wieed colors in people's hair. The buss cut looks good too.

I have a buzzed hair cut and I ame70❤

I really need to jump off the fence.

After my 2nd bout with Breast Cancer, I got accustomed to not having hair so when I finished with my treatment and half my head didn’t come back I knew what I had to do. I am bald buzzed, and I am never going back to hair, even if I could grow it back.😉

You could shave your head bald and you would still look amazing 😍
