i did it last summer and do not regret it; now i can appreciate my hair much more and never have to ask myself ever again, if i should do it or not. also it helps to figure out who tf is superficial and wont date a woman with short hair - get lost then :)
As someone who made the massive mistake to get a pixie cut in high school I cannot relate. Now my hair is almost hip length and I would NEVER get short hair again. Even though I was a skinny and "pretty" cheerleader in hs, I got way less attention for guys when I had short hair. Which is fine. But realistically, most men are attracted to long healthy hair. Not all. But most. I know a lot of people don't care about that but even for myself, I feel way more confident and way more attractive now that I have long hair. My hair is WAY HEALTHIER now too. When my hair was short it wasn't "easy" to deal with. I had to spend so much time styling it with heat tools and using massive amounts of product. Short hair was just so damaging for for me. I will definitely never cut it short again.
I am 11 months post big chop and what a year it’s been. I had to cut off my hair because of heat damage (my mother had me get silk presses all my life) and I remember feeling so ugly the first day. I cried, I rushed to get my ears pierced. But then came the FREEDOM with the cut. I was able to garden and not worry about sweating my hair out. I got to stand in the RAIN and just embrace the rain drops. I got to feel water on my scalp during showers omgggg. And then I started feeling myself and it grew on me especially as it grew out and I discovered I had the most beautiful curls this whole time. That big chop was the best decision I ever made in my life. Next to cutting off my abusive family. I did that one week before I chopped off my hair. Let’s just say I did a lot of healing in 2022.
The first time I was at a baseball game and it started raining I was like, WHO CARES?! Lol I love the freedom. If people don’t love you who needs them?
as someone who also shaved their head i couldn't agree more. I realized how pretty my face was and stopped hiding even after i let my hair grow longer again. And i learned so much about doing my makeup. Oh and on top of all of this my hair grew back more wavy than ever before.
@Frogundergroundbeans i was ready for weird reactions but i didn't get any. My family didn't like it (i knew that before i did it so it didn't bother me) but i got a lot of compliments from women who thought it was badass. No comments from guys but i have never gotten a comment regarding my hair from a guy in my life lol. Some people stared, some profs stared and they all remembered me (haha) but that's about it. To be fair i wasn't in my job at the time but i don't think they would mind now either. So all in all i was pleasantly surprised with the reactions i got because i've heard some bad stories from others who had a buzz... However the best side effect of a buzz cut is sort of not giving a shit. I have social anxiety and i am a people pleaser too but somehow my buzz helped me haha. If you want to try it, do it. It's worth it. (unless you're sure you'd loose your job because of it but i doubt that that's possible)
I buzzed my off when you did. I posted a comment. You replied, told me to wait until you did it (I didn't believe you would) BUT YOU DID. I'm growing mine out. It was the most liberating, scary, and authentic experience ever. I redefined what beauty meant to me. I felt so naked. I rediscovered myself in the process. It was truly the best thing I have ever done for myself. I was losing hair bc of my autoimmune disorder. It made me very insecure and depressed. Buzzing my hair off gave me a sense of control. Then I realized that sometimes you just don't have control and have to trust the process. I also felt totally bad ass lol
shaving my head made me realize that I look and feel better with shorter hair. I have curly hair so when it grows out long, I do not have the patience to do a curly hair routine. I also love doing neon split dyes, so buzz/pixies are my thing now. It is a lot easier to keep my hair healthy when its short. Plus, I can just shave it if I end up bleaching it too much!
I have curly hair and I just realized that putting leave-in or a nice oil in it and doing braids makes life so much easier. It doesn't have to be that much work, there are easy ways to maintain curly hair.
@@taylorbug9 my hair is thick as fuck too, so I hate that aspect of it too. But I usually have a side shave when I have long hair. Death hawks are cool too
I love having short hair! It’s so freeing and light! I’ve always had waist length hair and always wore it in a ponytail because I hated it in my face all the time. About 5 years ago I went short and haven’t looked back since!
I’ve started losing hair far easier due to long term effects of ed, and your video couldn’t have popped up at a better time. Been thinking of full-buzz after I remove these extensions that are only ripping more hair out. Thank you Stella, love you always 🥰
I had a buzz cut back in 2021 and it was my best haircut ever! So comfortable and liberating. If I had a different hair type I would have kept it. My hair sticks straight out of my scalp so you could look right down the shaft and see my scalp from every angle making it look thinner than it actually was. But I’m constantly tempted to do it again! And yes I also had people ask me “if I was okay” after I shaved it which was very patronizing.
I buzzed mine too an kept it for over a year. My hair stands out like yours. I bleached mine blonde an had like a Amber Rose thing going on. I absolutely loved it, but have been growing my hair out, but it’s so HOT 🥵 and I really want the buzz cut back 🤷🏼♀️ 😅
If you like your color and texture don't do it. My brother had beautiful, silky, white blonde hair. Then his dad buzzed his head and it came back unexceptionally dirty blonde and average. He has the exact same hair as every other boy walking around on this earth now. His beautiful hair that his grandfather had until his deathbed, and was actually known for, is gone. By the time he was 4 years old because his dad buzzed his head. And he looked like a little cancer patient the entire time his hair was that short. It was awful.
I shaved my hair last summer and I had been wanting to for years and years. So happy with my new hair style that I know I'll never ever grow my hair more than an inch long.. If even.. Men still find me attractive cause I'm not my hair, my hair is only one part of me but certainly doesn't define me. I'm very happy and proud of myself for doing it and it also suits me cause of my small face
I did this in June, 1987, but I didn't just buzz off my double processed white blonde hair, I had a barber give me a super short flat top. Yes, it was liberating.And easy. Great for beach lifestyle. Not so much for a 24 y.o. single girl's social life, though. It was a pretty common style, though (think Annie Lennox, Sinead O'Connor).
I'm also growing my buzzcut, not the funniest side, but it's part of the game. I loved my buzzcut and got so so many compliments (was not expecting it) ❤
I'm 50 and I've had a buzzcut for 5 years now. During lockdown I was thinking of growing a mohawk but once the mohawk part was 2 inches it was driving me crazy and I shaved it off again. At this point I don't think I will grow my hair again. I've had so many different hair cuts and all the colors imaginable and I got fed up with a haircut after a few months. The buzzcut is the only hairstyle I don't seem to get tired off. It is true that female beauty is linked to hair, especially long hair. But I've never felt so sexy than with my buzzcut. There were 3 reasons for me to get a buzzcut. The first was that because of hot flashes I sweated a lot on my scalp to the point that my hair was wet and plastered against my scalp and sweat would run down the back of my neck (since a few months I'm in full menopauze and the hot flashes are luckily gone!). Second reason is that I have very greasy hair, I have to wash it every 2 days for my hair to be presentable. But my scalp is superdry and if I wash it more than once a week my scalp gets super itchy and I wake up scratching my head till it bleeds. With a buzzcut I can just leave it unwashed for a week, you can't tell it's greasy. The short hair is also easier to apply a mask to my scalp I make with ghassoul clay and argan oil which helps with the dryness and itching Third reason is that my hair thinned out and I didn't feel good about it. Strangely enough I don't mind seeing my a bit of my scalp through my hair with a buzzcut but it did bother me with longer hair.
Everyone has to try it at least once in their life. I shaved my head during summer 2020, because i thought "well if it's bad i'm alone at home and it will grow back" but i loved it ! (even if like Stella said, people were concerned with my mental healt because of it - my mom even thought i didn't like to be a girl anymore!? - But it was the best decision of my life - i tried every color i could and decided that white and grey were my favorite color with my style - I could play with my eye make-up and found that i felt more beautiful without hair. Last november i turned 30 and i felt like i needed to grow my hair back ( don't ask why, i still don't know) and even if like Stella said it feels good to brush your finger through it, i really don't like growing it and taking care of it. I loved washing my hair once a week, no product, no heating tools, 10min in the shower and DONE. This video is really well timed 'cause i'm probably going to finally shaved it again really soon.. i need a sign and stella delivered :)
I have to admit i started straightening my hair from a very young age because i was taught that straight hair is beautiful but curly/wavy hair is ugly and not healthy, and that caused my hair to be severely damaged, i used to be ashamed of going out with my hair natural or it was a nightmare to be raining outside or going to the pool as people could see my natural "ugly" hair , it became my identity and it was imprinted in me ........3 yrs ago I made the decision to stop letting others judge me by my hair and I cut all of that burnt hair i stated fresh and went natural and my God i am so proud i took that step
Shaved my head twice now! My first time a loved it but just grew out my hair very natural. After 3 years I shaved it again and I’m having more fun with colors and styles this time around! Love your videos so much!
I had short hair for six years, tried a lot of haircut (pixie, undercut, etc) and at some point i feel kinda bored : i shave my head to times in april 2019 and april 2020. The buzzed cut was so joyful and liberating, it gives style and power instantly, you can hide behind your hair anymore. I think it really helps me with taking back my feminity and how i define myself. Then I let it grow and now my hair is below my shoulders. I'm so happy with my actual hair and I have the goal to grow it long, but of all the short haircuts I miss the buzzcut the most, such a vibe.
For me, I had tried the buzzcut i only Bleached it and used markers or makeup to draw on it designs (I managed to do 12 designs in a month) and I love it now i let it grow it is under my shoulders rn , my new goal is to reach waist length softly layered hair and continue dying it , because I've been cutting my hair short and dying it for 6 years.and I can say in all that time my hair was healthy but it was just that short hair was my go to
I had a coworker who buzzed off her hair and she loved it and it looked amazing on her. But we worked in retail and she said she felt like she had to amp up the glam the time because people kept coming up to her and assuming she was sick or going through chemo and it happened slightly less if she had a full face of makeup on. Still happened, but slightly less. That was the one downside, she said.
Hello pretty human, I just came across your channel, I've been thinking about getting a buzz cut lately but I'm too nervous and your video actually helped me a lot :) you are so beautiful I immediately subscribed. Sending you a lot of love 💗
I had a buzzcut and while I loved it for maaaaany reasons my neck was f*** freezing, especially at night and yes, even in summer! It was an interesting experience I think everyone should make (men and women) in their life. It felt like it was the first time people actually s a w me.
Personally for me I've shaved my head for the last 23 years off and on. I've grown it a few times over the years but get to the point where I can't bare it any longer and shave it off again. When you shaved and bleached yours last year I'd been growing mine for 3 years. But yours looked so beautiful I shaved mine again. And I love it again and I don't plan on growing it again. I've spent many years with no hair, I've had many negative comments but many nice comments. But I'm 53 and this is me with no hair, you are very inspirational and if you have hair or not I love your vlogs
Totally agree and you save money on not buying styling products and hair cuts. Part of it is I'm lazy and can't be bothered to spend time styling hair 😂

As a woman who’s always hated her hair(I had wavy frizzy hair when sleek straight hair was in, think Hermione ) I do not regret cutting my hair down to one inch. Many people tell me how pretty my face is but if they don’t like it eh who cares? I did it for ME.
i've wanted to shave my head for YEARS and finally did it this january, and i'm so glad i did!! i've been dyeing my hair since 7th grade and overall just felt so trapped by my hair for so much of my life, and it was so freeing to just get rid of it all. (also as an autistic person it's so sensory friendly!!)
It may be the best haircut for Stella but I'm chubby and have a full face I know enough about features to know this will not work for me I have a shag an edgy one and that's as far as I'll go I love it though because of the movement, the buzz cut does showcase Stellas model like features and perfect shaped head.✨✨✨
The low maintenance thing sold me when I was very very sick one year. Using clippers once a month vs. detangling/braiding/etc. on a constant basis? Even with funny colors and head painting it's still so much lower maintenance. I couldn't hold my arms up long enough to detangle/braid.
I buzzed my head a year ago, and will probably do it again! I will admit there was parts that weren’t great, but man the short hair is so so much better for me. To be honest, a lot of it sucked? Sort of. Main thing was I didn’t go short enough. It looked awkward and outgrown, and some parts of the grow out was.. not it. But I was also very committed to letting it grow out for a year without touching it, no scissors near my head for a whole year. I still loved it! Even the bad parts didn’t seem that bad at the time! I know I loved the four month mark, where it was a super short pixie that I felt fit my curly/wavy hair well.
I appreciate the buzz cut on other people but it’s not something I would ever do to myself. I know it wouldn’t suit me plus I don’t have the right head shape to support it either. Plus I hate short hair on myself- I’m a long hair girl as I find it much easier to look after when my hair is long. Short hair stresses me out as I find I always have to style it to look good but long hair I just chuck it up or wear it natural. I love buzz cuts on other people though some people look amazing in it like you Stella. ❤
I've always wanted to shave my head but I've never done it. I'm in my 30s, I decided to do it when I'm pregnant or right before I give birth because somehow I think it's the perfect time.
You looked great with a buzz cut. I saw a video of a lady talking about cutting her very long hair to a buzz cut. She said she wished she shaved it smooth before she grew it again. Would you, Stella do a smooth head shave?
My brother had beautiful silky blonde hair and then his dad buzz cut it. Ruined his color and texture. Came back unexceptionally dirty blonde and boring. He has the same hair type as every other boy walking around on this earth now. His grandfather had white silky hair from birth until the day he died and was actually called whitey because of it. He was literally known for how beautiful his hair was and my little brother got that hair. And then his dad shaved it all off and it never came back. If you like your hair type and color I would not shave your head.
@@taylorbug9 cutting or shaving hair does not change the hair structure or color, because the roots of the hair that lie underneath the skin stay untouched. The buzzcut can not be the reason for these changes
I don't think anyone will see that. They will be more shocked over the fact that your hair is gone haha. No seriously: do it. When i shaved my head it freed me from so many fears i had, fears how others percieve me. It helps you not giving a damn anymore
That's dumb I hate how people think if ur a girl and u shave ur head ur having a mental breakdown even if you are so what girls can shave their heads too don't mean something is wrong with us I'm currently like 3 weeks into my shaved head grow out for the second time! I'm at almost 1 inch of hair but I only cut it down to #5 last time I used a #3 gaurd ...
PSA : Please don't miss out on life because you did your hair... If you can't be bothered to do it again , a braid or bun works just fine. I treat my hairstyles as something that is meant to last for some hours, and I'm much happier for it and I don't miss out on anything.
IMO, they are horrible haircuts, but they are not as bad as side shaved and undercuts. I am crazy about long hair, but your present iteration looks very cute.
I hear all these stories about how liberating shaving your head is. I think only once i saw a comment of someone saying they regretted it. I'm very insecure about my whole being (appearance and personality) and these stories make me wanna just shave it all off. But I like having long hair and I like the male attention i get for it. I'm afraid shaving my head would just be self sabotage. That I will get depressed and even more ashamed of my appearance and just hide from the world until it's grown out (in like a year lol) Also I have like no tits and not a very cute face so i would probably just look like an ugly dude. So yeah that's my reflection on this topic. Still unsure.
The best male attention is from ONE male. The one that is yours! ^_^ But I would recommend trying out a very short wig at least. Expecially because you seem to be "hiding" behind your hair so much. A good hair salon that does protective styles would be able to give you a short, curly hair braid out.
This is pure vanity, pure worldliness. It's best to understand that hair is God's creation and to let it be natural like the Sikhs and many others do. But if you do shave it keep it shaved and without any ornamentation otherwise it simply becomes fashion. The nature of fashion is a constant need for change. This keeps your attention outwardly focused. No one has ever attained God through vanity or fashion.
My brother had beautiful gorgeous silky white blonde hair, and then his father buzz cut it all off. Not only did my little brother look like a cancer patient for weeks, but his hair grew back less soft and dirty brown. He went from having exceptionally beautiful hair to completely average hair. The buzz cut is the worst haircut you could ever give yourself. *If you enjoy your hair type never buzz your head*
@@officialmilkman491 buzzing your head literally changes the color and thickness of your hair. So if you like your hair, don't buzz cut it. Those are just facts.
As a cancer survivor, I completely disagree and find this such a privileged and uneducated video. Hair is a part of our identity - if can make us feel beautiful and losing it can cause incredible grief. The grow out period is awkward and lasts YEARS. How “fun” for you to experiment, Stella. But this is a terrible decision for most individuals. You admit even you lost viewers after your own buzz cut and you know you look so much better and feel more confident with hair ! Why influence others to suffer? The last thing a buzz cut does is “influence creativity” and people lost interest in you since you cut off your hair. Yuck.
I'm so sorry that you've went through cancer, but it's no excuse to make such an ugly comment. It's simply a haircut, and telling other women it's "yucky" to buzz their hair by choice just because you unwillingly lost yours is immature and salty. Some women buzz for cancer support, others buzz just because they like it. Learn to cope.
I've had a buzzcut for 5 years now and feel beautiful and sexy. So many people say it really suits me. But frankly, I don't give a flying f*ck what people think of it. I like it and feel good in it. It is sad that in 2023 a women's beauty is still linked to long locks. I'm sorry you went through hairloss because of cancer and it caused you grief. If it wasn't my choice to go short it would probably cause me grief too, but it was my choice, and still is after 5 years. So for you to judge that choice and saying it is a terrible decision and is ugly and yuck... that is pretty sad.
