My Curly Pixie Cut Experience - Long And Curly To Pixie

Hey everyone, I'm Priscilla, I typically don't make any YouTube videos. If anything. This is my first youtube video, but I really just wanted to talk about my hair journey, how I went from having long curly hair to having a super short pixie cut. So I think mostly because when I was trying to decide whether I wanted to cut it or not, I couldn't really find any videos that I could like relate to where they had the same hair. Is me and you typically, I would see a lot of people with just like wavy pixie cuts and I was like, and my hair is definitely not wavy, it's a little more curly than that. So hopefully it is kind of would just help. Someone who wants to see do you who has similar hair than me and wants to see how it may look when it's short and curly, because I really had no idea how it was gon na look - and I was super super nervous about just how short it Should be - and I don't know I was freaking out so basically I mean we are Celine well at least I'm still in quarantine. This I cut my hair of gosh. I don't know a few months ago. I think in April I cut it which is like kind of early in the quarantine, but I was losing my mind so I'll probably get kind of there on a picture of how I look before just it was just too long, and I was tired, obviously we're Inside every day - and I was tired of my wash day routine and just like - I felt like - I also feel like my hair - was changing a little bit. I at the time I was in a different state. I was living somewhere else now, I'm back home. For now, but I felt like my hair was changing and it was just like I couldn't get used to it and it was just getting too tangled because it was long and also it was dead at the bottom. I had a point set for, I think the end of March and I actually just cancelled this the day before, because I was leaving where I was living. It was just it was kind of heartbreaking and I wasn't planning on doing this to it. I was planning on just getting like a trim or maybe even cutting it shorter, because I've had it short before so. What ended up happening is I've been thinking I've been thinking about getting it cut. This short for, like at least a year now probably, but I was just always too nervous, obviously like what, if it looked bad, what if like I hated it and then I had to go into work the next day and then like you, want to be able To feel confident - and so I was definitely really just too scared to do it for a while, but as we were in quarantine, as I said, I was just heard of the wash day routine. Even talking about it, you can see me just kind of deflate. It was just so much work and I just really didn't want to deal with it anymore. It was too much in my face. It was annoying, so I told my mom that I really wanted to just chop it off and I think she thought I was crazy, but I didn't care I was like if it looks bad. I I know that this pandemic is gon na go on for a while, and I will just be in the house anyway and you know like whatever it'll grow out. I don't know I talked to a couple friends and they were like you're crazy. Don'T do that? Wait till you can get it professionally cut and I was like. Oh I don't know. If I can, I don't know if I can wait that long, so I just did it because I was planning on waiting a few days and kind of was trying to schedule a night to do it, but I I was so tired of it. I was just like I'm gon na, do it so my mom did help me this, isn't it. This is actually a cut done by my cousin, but in terms of how I cut it the first time. Basically, what I did is I mean my hair was like super long super thick and just from like watching a few videos. What I ended up doing was just well. My mom helped me make kind of like a line. I think it might have been like from here and made a line going across and separated at that hair, so we've sectioned that off. I I tied this, although all up and and kind of like made little sections just so it's easier to cut and I cut them right off and I used out some clippers and it was a lot of hair. Look like a poodle on my bathroom floor, but um I cut up into the line and just so it was kind of a blunt cut, but at the same time we're not professionals, I don't know what the hell I'm doing so I was just like this is How it's gon na be - and it didn't look that bad so then, when I got to the top, obviously was, I feel like there's a lot more hair since it was from here all the way up at first we cut it pretty evenly so I'd still sectioned It and I cut it all the way around and total is probably like too long like right now. This isn't that long. It'S really not that not too long, but when I first cut it. I definitely left it too long, because I was just so nervous to keep cutting it shorter and shorter, even though, like I said, I'm not gon na see anybody. I was just too nervous, I think, initially the shorter you go, probably the better just because you think it'll look a certain way when it's long and it just won't it'll curl up and it'll look really really nice when it's shorter at first, I did have it And it was all one wing - and it kind of I just kind of had this big poof for a few days until I was looking at other videos and or just even just pictures, and I ended up shaving, I think it was the side I shaved, maybe Like probably just this little section here kind of how it is now and then I kept pushing this to the side, so it was kind of like just because I was used to that. But honestly it wasn't that bad for an immature cut where we didn't know what we were doing so I was not mad at it. I don't probably show you a picture right now. I did start to look kind of crazy once it started to started to grow in in the back, so I wasn't sure what to do, but my cousin has done a lot of pixie cuts in her day. She'S, not a hairdresser but like she did a really good job. So she did do this pretty recently in just a few days ago, and I it's different and I do love it and she cut the sides she kind of took them in a little bit. I'Ll show you the back here and see how that looks. It'S like nice and sure I mean it was a couple days ago, so it might be brewing in a little bit already. She definitely fixed up the back and how it kind of all flows. There'S no longer a blunt line right there, which I was fine with it. I really just want to try everything I want to try all the different, because it gets just to see like what works on me best and just what I'll like better yeah. I do really like this one piece of hair just felt so in terms of like why I wanted to get one. I guess part of it was definitely. I would say that I felt like my hair was such a personality trait with like? Well, I don't know when people saw me, it was just like one of the first things they would say and like that, I kind of just wanted to like challenge that I guess I felt it was just a big part of my like femininity as well, and I the same thing: I wanted to challenge that and I wanted to just see how I would look with shorter hair and honestly, I feel powerful. I feel way more powerful and just it feels like that confidence is here. I even though I loved my hair before and I like the way that it looked, and I thought it was really pretty it just. I didn't feel that confident and it was more annoying than anything, and even though I didn't I didn't really work on it. The way I should have, I didn't spend hours on it like a lot of people with long curly hair. Do I just really didn't want to invest that time in it, and even if I did try, I just I felt like I wasn't getting the results. I wanted, and it was just kind of a lot so I'm ultimately, I'm really glad that I did this in terms of maintenance. I'M not really really too sure. Yet, just because I've been cutting it myself and I'm hoping that I mean I'm assuming the amount of times I'll have to go. I think that's the only downside of getting this your hair cut. This short is that you'll have to go more often just to panic. Keep up with it, I assume expensive, but I'm really I'm kind of okay with it just because if you find someone good who's gon na keep your hair in tip-top shape, and I'm fine with that. Honestly, I would say maybe it starts to grow in pretty quickly, but I would say maybe every three weeks if you want to push it, and especially, if you don't mind it looking that long, but I guess it depends on your hair, I'm still kind of working On styling and how I want to style it, because I am in quarantine, I don't have anywhere to go what's so, it's kind of like there's, no reason styling most the time, but I have all the time in the world, but I'm definitely gon na work on That I will - and hopefully I find a good style for me, like I said, if you're thinking about doing this, I highly encourage you to do it. So that's pretty much it. Thank you so much for watching subscribe. I cast like this video do whatever you want to do, thanks for watching
