Hello, star babies, hope you're doing well. If you are new to my channel and you don't know what I'm talking about when I call you a star baby hi welcome to my channel, my name is Gabriella. I make videos about astrology and self-care lifestyle, college life, actor life, literally, anything that I feel like talking about I'm a professional musician and theatre performer, and I am also a youtuber so anyway um. If you clicked on this video, you are probably thinking about cutting your hair short, you might be thinking. Well, maybe I'll just do a little a lob and then I'll go to a bob and then I'll go to a pixie. You probably have a Pinterest board full of dream. Pixie haircuts, you've, probably complimented a lot of women with short hair and said. Oh, I wish I could pull that off. Oh, I could never pull that off. Oh, I look like a man and other self-deprecating comments. Okay, we US pixie. Ladies most of us, have been through that cycle. Mine I took, I mean I've always had long short hair. I'Ve had everything from hair down to my butt, basically a pixie but not cut over my ears, so an extremely short bob. Obviously, until I got the pixie it took me about, let's see it took me about ten or nine years to actually get a pixie cut, so I dreamed about having one for nine to ten years. I want to help you guys, if possible, to cut that time. Short because life is short and pixie cuts are effing awesome. So if I can comfort you through this video, give you some tips to know before you cut your hair short, I will, and here I am bringing that video to you. These videos really helped me before. I cut my hair just kind of like give me that strength. It'S almost like there was like a little pixie community on YouTube. That really really helped me kick things into year. So, let's get started into the things you need to know before you get a pixie cut, you will attract attention, positive and negative. It'S just the way it is. We are still in a time when short hair for women is not very common. When I got a pixie cut, it was pretty much this length. I'Ve all so had like. Besides buzz I've gone through a lot of different lengths, but it was pretty much this length, but it was also bright pink. I went from boob level or ribcage level, long shiny black hair to a pink pixie. So I attracted a lot of attention now. I could do that because I'm in performance I'm a pop artist and things like that. So I have the Liberty to color my hair funky colors, but yeah. I am no stranger to attracting a lot of attention. So, yes, you will attract a lot of looks and stares and probably a lot of unsolicited opinions and just like any other time guess what their opinions don't matter. This happens all the time when I go to clubs, the bouncer takes my ID. This is my hair. In my ID what happened, this is another one I get when I go out to clubs, I usually don't like girls with short hair, but uh Wow, and this is a one I've gotten from family because I come from a Mexican family and any of you Latinos Out there know that long hair is pretty much the standard of beauty still in Latin communities. Oh No, why did you do that? I loved your long hair. It was so beautiful or from idea did you do this for a job? Did they make you do this? Don'T worry, your skin will toughen up very quickly and you will accumulate a list of really really nice responses. What happened? What do you mean? What happened? Something something on my face? I usually don't like girls with short hair, but uh Wow. You can either be sweet and just say: oh okay or yeah. I usually don't like guys who wear shirts from the express sale, rack and bathe and acts so um yeah, I'm gon na walk away. Now, Oh No. Why did you do that? I loved your long hair. It was so beautiful, oh yeah. I know you loved my long hair, but I didn't really so I donated it and now someone who's, sick and doesn't have hair gets to use mine that tends to shut them up very quickly with that. For some reason, short hair seems to be something that people notice still people don't notice different lengths of long hair or anything else like that. But when they see somebody with short hair, they pointed out, if there's someone who wants to bully you for some reason, they point that out as some kind of insecurity, usually I think in an adult life, especially if you're not in school or around people that are Not nice to you, you won't really face that. Besides some backhanded, compliments at clubs or something but being on YouTube, I have gotten so many funny comments. I have been called Bruce Jenner, which is okay, Bruce Jenner is not a person anymore. I'Ve been called someone said, COFF COFF trans, which is that supposed to be offensive to me. Someone people also call me a lesbian, which again is not an insult so and people also say I look like a boy or a man, but if people want to be mean to you just know, this is a feature that people point out a lot. You know if you have facial, piercings or tattoos or or certain prominent features about your body or if you have a big nose like I do. People will point it out and use it to be mean and just know that that's just like any other thing about you. It'S not it's not that you really look like a man or look like this or like that, it's just! Oh! How can I be mean to this person? I can't think of literally anything, because their personality is probably awesome, so I'm gon na come after their hair. Good one sort of on that bandwagon, it will reveal the people to you, particularly men, not trying to attack all men, but it will reveal the men in your life that are trash. In my opinion, when people feel the need to give unsolicited advice or opinions, it's usually just out of ignorance, and I want to ask like why do you think that this comment is relevant to me, but I usually try to be patient with it? I remember I dated this guy once who was clearly not over his ex girlfriend. They were like still hanging out whatever, and he was trying to reassure me that he didn't have any feelings for her and she had recently caught her hair into a pixie and instead of saying no, I'm not interested in her. I'M only interested in you, of course his answer was well. I don't like girls with short hair and my ignorant self at age 19 or whatever was somehow comforted by that somehow. I was still attracted to someone who blatantly judges women based off their opinion and shares that with me, not ashamed of it. What that goes into my next little thing that you need to know is: you will not be considered unattractive. I don't care if you buzz your head, if you shave it until it's squeaky ball, somebody is gon na want to do you, especially men. Let'S be honest, they love to say I don't like women that dress like that and then dress like. I don't like women that dress so conservative and prude. I don't like one more short hair. I don't like women with small chest. I don't like women with small butts. I don't like women with guts. Do you think any of us have sex with you? That is like very confident of you to be saying all the women that you don't want, because you're kind of assuming that we want you, let's face it, we all know deep inside most men are very desperate to have anyone touch their eggplant emoji. So trust me, you will not be considered unattractive as vain as that is. That was one of my main insecurities for years. Before cutting my hair as I've grown older, I can tell you that there are a lot of men who would have sex with women if they had a tentacle coming out of their back. So you really don't need to worry about snipping your hair. As far as the unattractive thing goes, this is personal to me, but if your partner, if you're dating someone or seeing someone if your partner is giving you their opinion without being asked for it on cutting your hair or on anything else, cosmetic surgery, piercings tattoos, I Think that that's wrong, and I think that that shows that that person thinks they're entitled to your body or the changes you make to yourself, and I think that that's a red flag, anybody that I've dated who has had those tendencies I look back on and they Were very toxic people, I'm not telling you to divorce your husband if he says I would freak out if you came home with short hair. I just think that that's ignorant and maybe that person needs to reconsider, because what? If what? If they were sick and they lost their hair or or what have you gotten an accident in your face change, you had to have surgery to reconstruct part of your face, like you're telling me that your relationship teeters on the edge of oh, my god, does she Have short hair not because if she has short hair, I don't love her anymore and I can't be aroused by her. That'S that's weak. So if your partner is saying those things in my opinion, it's wrong and it shows kind of this ownership complex. So don't even ask your partner for their opinion. Just let them know. Let them know you're getting your hair cut yeah when it's come to cosmetic surgery. Tattoos, piercings, hair cuts any alteration to my physical appearance. My partner now has never ever said anything except great. Whatever you'd like to do so, I really appreciate that because it makes it shows me that he's aware that he doesn't own me and then his opinion is pretty much irrelevant, because I know that he loves me for who I am so whatever I do to the Outside is an expression of Who I am, and he should love that cutting your hair short will reveal your deepest fears. If you really consider why you say things like, I can't pull it off. It doesn't look good on me. I would I would look like a man if you think of all of the reasons why you are afraid to cut your hair short look into it and you will reveal what you're truly afraid of and most of those fears you need to move on from, because They'Re keeping you from living a Wonderful Life for the most part I had overheard. A lot of people say that I don't like girls with short hair or I don't think, that's attractive or you're, much prettier with long hair. I love your long hair and I had internalized this this opinion and this fear that short hair means ugliness, even though it's beauty to me, and even though the most sexy beautiful women in the world are to me, are the ones with short, hair and they're. Always the ones that attract my attention. Somehow it was more important how others see sexiness and that's unfortunate. I was really giving my power away to people, so my main fears when cutting my hair whoa were that I would have to endure criticism. I would be hit on less and be given less attention. My partner would find me unattractive yeah, those were my main fears was basically being unattractive being ugly and having to go through criticism, and the first two are just not true at all and the third is you have to go through criticism either way. Why not? Just do what you want to do. Consider the reasons why you're so afraid to cut your hair and why you say you can't pull it off and you will really take all the power away from your fears. Cutting your hair short is going to teach you that you can pull off more than you think you can. A short haircut is not that extreme. I mean some people act like it's the end of the world or even like. I could never pull off a lip. Color, like that, and I understand some people are reserved and they don't go out of their comfort zone, but the wonderful lesson about doing something like cutting your hair into a pixie cut. Is it will show you all of the amazing things that you can try? The amazing alterations to your appearance, you can make that you really can pull off and that may very well empower you to a whole new level. When you get a pixie cut, you will become 10 times more chic and every outfit will look twenty times more expensive. It'S just it's scientific numbers to me short hair looks expensive because, yes, it does require maintenance, especially when I had the sides in the back buzzed. It required maintenance so that it wouldn't start growing down my neck or get all sloppy. So I think when people have short hair that looks really good, it looks expensive and it looks like you take care of yourself. That'S another point, a more realistic point that I need to go into short hair doesn't mean shorter, routine and it doesn't mean less maintenance. It can often mean more maintenance, as I just said, plus you're gon na need to figure out, maybe new products and a new routine that works for you and you'll maybe have to train your hair. My hair is just now, you know, being super super nice when it comes to laying, in a in a longer pixie style, when I had pink hair because it had been bleached. The texture of my hair changed completely and I had to relearn how to do my hair. I had to relearn the texture of my hair. So that's a process you will have to go through, but I think it's fun. You will be open to new possibilities. I know it sounds crazy, but there's that quote that says a woman who cuts her hair is about to change her life. I think that's a Coco Chanel quote. First of all, we were born on the same day. August 19th, my leo clean. She feels me okay, but after I cut my hair, I booked several commercials. I booked more jobs than I had in LA the two years prior I booked a six-month theater contract with this hair. I did at all with this hair. I think part of it made my look different because of course, I'm in entertainment and having a look is important and this definitely stands out, but also my confidence went through the roof. I felt like this motion I felt like once I cut my hair and I had the bravery to do that like what else, what what else was gon na stop me from doing anything else that scared me. It was absolutely thrilling and it made me feel unstoppable. Just a warning, you may experience feelings of liberation, sexiness goddess, like energy, you might feel confident, unstoppable and brave and powerful. And finally, like others, opinions, don't really matter to you. I think it's a wonderful step to take. If you have things you need to let go of if you struggle with other people's opinions and how much they matter to you and the weight of them honestly cutting your hair short is just the most liberating thing in the world. I hope this video helped you. This is my honest to god us opinion about having a pixie cut and I do not regret it. I'Ve never regretted it. One day I know everybody else's. Opinions are different, but I waited nearly 10 years to have this hair. So I am loving it and if you cut your hair and you don't like it or you realize you liked a different style better than I did it up its hair, it grows back. I shouldn't have to tell you that I hope you guys enjoyed this video. I hope it inspired you. I hope. Maybe it lit a flame under your booty to go, get your hair cut if anybody lives in the LA area. My hairstylist in LA is Damon footer, a true a salon in Studio City. He is the absolute Shorthair master. He took me from long hair too short after I've. Had so many hairdressers say you can't do it. Your hair is too thick. It'S not gon na look good on you, yadda yadda yadda. I was like, let's cut my hair, maybe we'll do a bob and then a pixie at the next visit. He said: no, let's take it all off we're doing a pixie and he also took me pink he's. Just an absolute genius and everyone at rua is incredible. So if you're in the LA area definitely go to Rua but yeah, do your research find someone who specializes in short, hair or who's done it before and get ready for the ride of your life? Honestly, I love you guys so much and I'll talk to you soon. Mwah bye, guys

Rebecca Faye: "I dont date girls with short hair' 'I dont remember wanting to date you"
SourDough: “You look like a boy” I mean. I want people at school to question my gender 24/7. I like seeing them struggle to guess my gender. It amuses me.
Mireya: As a Latina women who’s dealt with a now ex boyfriend who said “you will look like a guy and I won’t be as attracted to you”, I’m so excited to go and get a pixie cut for my birthday! Thank you for helping me realize that it’s my hair and that other people’s opinions don’t matter
s0metimes lucy: "you're *probably* thinking about cutting your hair short" me, who's doing it tomorrow: *sweats nervously* edit: hi! for everyone asking, it went really well! i cut myself bangs the other day and it's starting to grow out more gracefully lol
Yagaloi: Me: * gets pixie cut * Person: ew lesbian Me: * laughs in actually lesbian *
moni: i'm getting a pixie haircut tomorrow, I'm here to hype myself up lol
Aidan Cloud: My mom didn’t want me cutting my hair short cuz her ideal look for me was traditional long asian black hair. I kept my hair long for years because of that. At the beginning of last year I cut it from chest length to a Ruby Rose style short short hair from John Wick 2. A bit after that I went for a Ruby Rose Orange is the New Black look. I’ve been so much more happy and way more confident since getting my hair cut really short. I’m actually starting to like myself and it feels great. I’ve learned to ignore the comments from others too.
Whale Ness: I'm not even cutting my hair, I'm just gay and planning for the future
Caroline Teague: Her: “ you probably have a Pinterest board of dream pixie cuts “ Me: SHE KNOWS! Edit: 1,000 likes holy crap Thank you!
Denna Luna: I was in tears. You’re so incredible soothing and reassuring about this odd stigma about short hair. I’ve always wanted short hair, but I’ve never been confident enough to do it. Thank you for sharing your experience. You’re a sweetheart.
s bird: "I love your long hair" Me: "OK you can have what the hairdresser sweeps up"
sea Sauce: *”You may look like a boy if you get a pixie”* me: ahaha, that’s actually my goal *B U D D Y*
Kawya Sathsarani: i just hate how people label us girls.. with the short hair as bi or gay when we are not :((
Just Maddie: “I don’t date girls with short hair” Me: Exactly
VALENTINA GUADALUPE TAVAREZ BALERIO: Wow, I loved this video, because I’m so identified; I’m Mexican, and the bigest fear I have is being judged by my own family. When you said the thing that this would liberate me from others opinion, you convinced me to do what i want to do with my hair (it is really long, it reaches my lower back), cause I’ve noticed that as a Mexican teenager I’m giving way too much importance to the length of my hair and others opinions about my self in every aspect of my life. I’m sooo glad I found this, you really did a good video, where you just don’t talk about the ups and downs or hairstyles, you touched the part of the fear of being judged, giving importance to problems that shouldn’t be problems nowadays and the fact that women are not just the length of her hair. <3 I’m sorry for my English.
Prodigyx19: Lmao!! I got my pixie, went to golden coral after. The hostess asked my gf how old her son was - aka me an almost 30 year old woman. So now I'm not only a boy but i could get into places with a child discount. Thanks, pixie cut!
Autumn Grace: When i clicked on this video i thought she was going to teach me some tips to care for a pixie haircut. But instead, i was given some psychological opinion that i never thought i needed. Thank you❤
Manuela Tutusevic: Some guy: I would never date a chick with short hair Me: Oh why didn't you say so?! *grabs scissors*
Nikki: I love your momma bear energy. I can tell you've earned it and I am comforted by it. Keep up your growth and strength, lady.
L B: I had an undercut for about two years and this year makes it three, all my friends kept asking whether i was going through some things and wasnt tlking about it.. some assumed i was gay, well everybody was questioning my sexuality, my Guy friends started treating me like a boy which was not a problem at all... and most of my girlfriends didnt wannA hang with me anymore... im not gay, but i just like what i like i personally just like doing things that make me feel good about myself ♀️
anna: one of the few reasons i want a pixie cut is because i want to wear a lot of beautiful dangly earrings bc i always thought that looks SO good on everyone with short hair
Tatum Griggs: 0:41 "you probably have a pinterest board full of dream pixie haircuts" I FEEL ATTACKED
No More: I love how she is making emphasis in "hair is not linked to gender" when the comments are full of lesbians and trans, let's be honest; this just rise the stereotype. Maybe because it's true, but still having short hair is not necessary being lesbian and being gay is not something to be ashamed. So don't use it as an insult. :)
Just Qrow’s Luck: Her: talks about romance Me: *laughs in aroace*
Jëss ?????: " *Little pixie community* " sounds like the cutest thing ever..... ✨ ✨ ✨♂️✨ ✨ ✨
ミオ★: "You look like a guy" A *hot* guy -any girl with a pixie cut
Kathleen Burgess: Thank you for this. I’ve struggled with self esteem issues all my life and I feel in my heart of hearts this is the step I need to take to be 100% me, so here very soon I’m making the switch from low back hair to fully pixie and I couldn’t be any more excited!! Love your hair by the way!!!!!
Desiree Simpson: I’ve been contemplating for so long! You took all the words right out of my mouth with all the fears! You’re so so right! I’m scared of being “unattractive” or being bullied or experiencing criticism! But wow you helped so much thank you so much
Jemma Pollari: This honestly inspired me to finally get the pixie cut I've been wanting for years... Had it done this morning! I love it ❤️
Sanne Karlsén: Great video! I love hearing women encourage eachother and this is really what getting short hair is all about, being freakin' fiercee! I shaved my head of when I started university last semester as part of our introduction week with games and drinking and I attrchted sooo much attention and praise and only a little backlash from some saying "it's too short", but it really is empowering and feels awesome to know that whatever I want to do, I can do! great message you're spreading, have a great day! :D :D <3
Smriti: Lol I almost thought she would say "life is short And pixie cuts are Also short"
jessica villa: You honestly helped me get the courage that I’ve been trying to get for the longest time. I now have a pixie and I love myself more than I ever did❤️
Ronnie Gutierrez: I watched this video the day before cutting my hair! Honestly I went on a whim and didn’t think much about it and this video reiterated why that’s as totally fine. Go for it! If you genuinely dislike it, it’ll grow back. It’s both powerful and empowering.
Haley Buskulic: Thank you so much. My boyfriend thinks my hair is so beautiful and every time I express that I want to cut my hair, he says “no I love your hair” which made me feel like once I change my hair his feelings would change. My family equates long hair with beauty as well. So I made my pixie appt for the first week of January! You gave me a lot of reassurance! Thank you again!
alex: i just cut my hair yesterday pixie style and it really turned so good!! this just my second day in a pixie but almost everything that's been said here are all so relatable. and not gonna lie, aside from feeling light and free because my previous hair length was like around my ribcage, it really boosted my confidence. 13:49 it is so true. i never take selfies because i am insecure with myself, and that i believed that i don't look good but when i was on the last strands to cut, i was smiling and it felt so weird. i feel like my self-esteem went the highest it could've been since i was born, and i'm loving it!! i've been thinking on doing it for so many years and always think twice and just end up not doing it then later regret for wasting the chance i had. but now, i never knew it would fit just right for me. thank you for the informations and words of encouragements ❤️
dragonflower092: You are awesome. Your attitude is beautiful, and so is your hair! You have inspired me to go through with getting a pixie, which is something I’ve wanted to do for a while. I just got a divorce after being married for 12 years, and I feel like a pixie will be a great physical reminder that this is fresh start for me ❤️ Thank you so much for making this video!
Karen Villanueva: Thank you so much for inspiring me to shed my long hair. I went from ribcage hair to a lob. But after 3 wks couldnt wait to schedule another appointment to get a short bob! You're absolutely right, once you've committed to going for a shorter do, it is life changing!
WlecomeToTheJungle 🐆: Me: gets my hair cut Some random dude at my school: I dOn’T lIkE gIrLs WiTh ShOrT hAiR! Me, a lesbian: And why would I care? (This is just a scenario I made up in my head, I haven’t gotten my hair cut, I want to though!) Edit: I DID IT! I GOT A PIXIE CUT! AND I LOVE IT!! ❤️
Les mondes de Marion: Oh my gosh, thank you so much ! I am 14 years old and I would really like to have a pixie cut. The stuff you said is what I actually think. I just started to tell other people in my entourage I wanted to get a short haircut and I feel like they are projecting their fears on me and trying to make me doubt, almost unconsciously. But I will do it and I have the feeling that having a pixie cut will make me take some distance from what others may say to discourage me and that it will make me gain confidence. Thank you for solidify what I whispered to myself.
Wendy Viola: when I got my pixie a guy told me ‘I would never date a girl with short hair’ like good for you! Glad you’re not dating me
Melissa Adams: So glad I watched this! I’ve had short hair before but I’ve been wanting a pixie or a haircut with an undercut for MONTHS. I’m talking almost a year. I’ve been so scared to do it and I’ve figured out that it’s only because I’m afraid of what everyone is going to say and I’m tired of worrying about what everyone will say!
Nevin Kara: I love this video. It was so comforting and reassuring. I cut my hair short this month and a lot of people have been sharing their opinion about my appearance. This helped me put it all into perspective.
Husky Dare: I wanted to let you know that I went and got my hair cut off into a style very similar to yours after watching this video. I have wanted this forever. I tried to get this style at 15 and a hairdresser gave me a military cut. I cried and grew my hair out and never cut it short again. I am 47 and have never loved my hair this much in my life. You gave me the push I needed to change. Thank you so much.
Honey Marshall: This literally made me feel extremely excited about getting my pixie cut in a few days I was nervous but now I’m not nervous and extremely excited
Gabrielle Marchino: Wow! I smiled through out this entire video because you put words to my fears, and pushed me into full confidence to do the cut I want!! Thank you so much :)
Leah Duff: I've got mine scheduled in two weeks. And I can't WAIT. I've done literally every color of the rainbow (plus and actual rainbow) and almost every length. So I'm so ready for this next step!!
says cate: Thank you so much for this video. I've had my hair in a bob for many years and i really loved it. Last feb I was diagnosed with Breast Cancer. I did not have chemo, but I am on very strong hormone treatments which has caused me to lose a lot of my already thin hair. I kept cutting it shorter and was not really happy with it largely because I've always had bangs, which I loved but they got too thin and scraggly to pull off. I finally went all in on a pixie and I'm still getting used to styling it and not having bangs. I'm older with grown children but most people think I am 15 - 20 yrs younger than I am, so I was really afraid of looking frumpy or masculine. I actually am not feeling bad about it, but I still have some getting used to. I figure I've faced cancer, I'm in remission, I'm just going to go on and be fierce with my funky pixie!! I've been watching a bunch of videos on styling it and am trying some new products. I loved this video it really talked about all of the things one worries about when going for the Pixie! Thanks again from a fellow Leo!
Agnes Rachelcia B.G.: I did it!!! By my self! And I rock it! I love it! I went from long to bob and I hated! When my Mom has cancer I wanted to shave my head with her but she asked me to leave it so she can look at my hair since she is loosing her. For past six years I didn’t dare to cut my hair for my Mom even that she is not among living anymore. For me it was a fear of loosing my Mom finally. It was the last act of letting go. I didn’t even realized what long hair meant for me. It’s time to move on. It’s true time to change my life. Thank you . And yes I did get a lot of looks today. I was thinking “ thank Hod my hair is curly I didn’t even check my back” it looks good! After seeing a movie An Old Warrior I love this hair cut with longer bangs ! I’m so glad I came across your video ❤️
Isa Rose: "I don't date girls with short hair" ... ~deep breath~ "I don't remember asking you a *goddamn* thing!"
Kayte Robinson: I am so glad I found this video before I cut my hair all off, because it finally kicked me in the butt to GO PIXIE!!! And.........I LOVE IT!!!! Thank you so much for this video and all its content I think it was perfectly done and so very helpful for the indecisive or anxious short-hair-would-bes-with-a-push!!!
Victoria Greenroyd: You have lit a flame under me to cut my own...I cut the majority of my length off myself three weeks ago, now state-wide all the salons are shut down so I'm going for it! You are looking Fab, girl and I couldn't agree with you more on your comments regarding the opinions of others... Much love, Victoria
Marisa Gonzalez: This is LITERALLY how I felt after I cut my hair. Every single thing you said is correct!
Magic Megan: I LOVE this vid and how you go into fears. I’m considering getting a pixie and always have had long hair. I’ve always said i’ve been too scared to do it. I like knowing about how it makes fashion even better!! love the quotes :)
wussup_ap: I needed to see this. I've been wanting to cut all my hair off for years, but have been too afraid to take make the move. I'm not going to lie when I say I am still super scared, but after being in this Covid quarantine, I am ready just live my life for me and no one else. Thank you for making this, I hope more women will watch this for years to come.
Yani Q: Thanks for this video, latina here. I impulsively, but not really, got a pixie cut two days ago. I’ve always wanted it and I’m so glad I did. I have three kids and having one less thing to worry about has been amazing. Not worried about what others think at this point in my life, I’m almost 40 and I’m tired of living for others. Just jumping in and deciding to get the haircut I’ve always wanted was so liberating and best decision I ever made
Elizabeth de la Vega: I’ve had short hair forever. Grew it out when I was pregnant 27 years ago. I am here to tell you that what you’re saying is bible girl, since I was little I had this uncle that would tell me to grow out my hair, I was a freaking kid . Men, same thing, by then, I would say, let your own hair grow out. Called a Lesbian, as well. Even my own son when he was younger made the comment of looking like a boy . I love short hair, I look better with it short, and it fits my personality. I’ve gotten soooo many compliments from both women and men. So, yeah, women, please stop hiding behind long hair if you really want it shorter. I get, pixies aren’t for everyone, but what is for everyone is how they freaking want to wear it! Thanks for this!!!
Sonia Patil: This video is such a confidence booster. I've wanted to cut my hair short for such a long time (Pinterest board and all) and this video helped so much.
Mr. SadMan: Secretly gender fluid and I want short hair Folds my hair up with a hat Friends: aww you look like a boy Me: *visibly flattered* thank you
syra kingsley: Love your views on those men who shame women for how they look and try to have ownership over the way women look. So refreshing to hear a young woman with so much strength, and so glad that you’re teaching other young women in this way. Keep up the good work ❤️
Barbara Sylvain: My husband is anti-short hair in women as well as anti-grey. I now have gorgeous red hair and I'm going to the hairdressers for the (last?) next stage of cutting it to pixie length. I'm so glad I found this video to watch while waiting to go. It's really inspiring! "Old ladies" like me at 58 have the same worries as we had in our youth...whom we're pleasing and why aren't we just going to do something to please ourselves? Learn this young! Don't waste a minute worrying about even your partner's opinion. Your happiness and contentment is paramount.
Natalie Nevermann: i want to cut my hair so badly, but my mum said: "oh no why? your hair is so beautiful." but now i am totally sure i want to do this. thank you so much!!!
Audrianna Michael: I freaking loved this video. I'm scared to cut my hair to a pixie cut (it's currently past my waist) and this really helped. I'm insanely self-conscious and I've always hated the way my face looked and if I don't have long hair I won't be able to hide behind it. Well, maybe it's time to stop hiding!
Analía Dominguez: Ohhh i'm loving this video. I just watched Ghost and fell so hard in love with Demi's pixie. I'm watching a looooot of videos to get the courage to cut my hair. I just love it and thanks to you i'm so freaking doing it!!!
Nicole B: “Most of those fears are keeping you from living a wonderful life” .. such a powerful message to tell ourselves when we start down that pathway of negativity.
TheDormixxx: You are amazing, thank you for such an inspiring video. I agree wholeheartedly with all you said about letting go, not giving too much thought about others' opinions and especially about the point you made regarding men; if someone can't respect you for who you are, that sucks and you shouldn't tolerate it ever. You are a great inspiring person, beautiful inside and out, I'm so glad I bumped into your video! Made my day :) Thank you so so much :*
Han. Gray: This has helped me so much, I'm going to be getting my hair cut to a pixie cut in a few weeks and this makes me feel even better about my decision
Victoria Mendez: i cut my hair and my mom didn’t support me (she’s latina). i feel like guys look away from me, in some ways it doesn’t bother me since i’m pan BUT in other ways it does. i’m not very skinny so my jawline doesn’t pop out and sometimes when my double chin shows, i get so mad that i can’t pull off the hair. but you talking about it like this makes me feel so much safer and i couldn’t be more grateful. thank u sm for making ppl like me feel more secure and confident, and clearly up some insecurities we may deal with <3
Journal Journey: I got mine 2 month ago. After fear of what I would look like all through needing it for my hair was so abused and thinning out. But I’m in love with the look. Learning to style it now. but again loving it! TY for the video
Me La: My hair is long and curly. I started getting my hair straight since 5th grade because that's the beauty standard of my mother, and I was thinking the same too. Not until I suffer for hair loss due to chemicals. I am soo sad regarding with my beauty standards. There's a lot of reasons why you have to choose your haircut for your own benefit and not depending on others opinion. Thank you so much beautiful♥️
Eva: I was pleasantly surprised by this video. I was expecting superficial information and received deeper information. All true! I've been wanting a pixie for years and thought I was too fat. I went from long blond (dyed and cared for) to short brown (natural) hair. I loved this video so much I had to share. ❤
22Kazoos: Oof, one time this girl was calling me 'it' and saying I looked like shit and asking why I would do this (cutting my hair short) to myself. I just said 'I donated my hair so kids with cancer can have wigs and not feel bad. Do you want kids with CANCer to feel bad?' She didn't say anything after that sooooooo
Olivia Paige: I cut my hair short and I hated myself for doing it because it made me feel like people viewed me differently because of it. As soon as I watched this video, I truly gained my confidence back and realized that what I look like doesn't entitle anybody to their opinions about me, so thank you❤❤
Nikki Tee: I shaved my head last week and this was exactly what I needed. I have all the same thoughts as you & im glad I’ve found someone with the same views, it’s comforting
Anissa Alexa: Thank you for making this n being so honest and open. And honestly before u said it. I def got Leo vibes I rlly messed up my hair by consistently dying it myself without much preparation/knowledge. N I’ve been cutting it shorter and shorter—at first to get rid of damage, but I can’t lie I love short hair. After years of long hair and hiding behind it, I finally feel liberated. Pixie cut for me it is.
Luisa Apolaya: Just coming back after my pixie cut to say thank you! This video really helped me make the decision and I’m so happy I did
LM Lii: I was basically looking for an inspiration to cut my hair short. Then this popped out of nowhere. OMG! This is exactly what I need! This encourages me a lot! Thank you so much!
little Panda: I'm gonna cut my hair in 3 weeks and I have been binge watching pixie cut compilations for the last hour and just saw this and it gave me another boost of confidence!
Samantha Navarro: Watching this the day after getting my pixie and the cultural thing is still so true. My stylist is also Mexican and she was trying to convince me otherwise with "Well how short do you want to cut it before the pixie?" I went for just below my ears snd stayed stubborn and true to what I wanted. Why my partner and their dad are more supportive of my pixie than those close to me I'll never know
Kira: when you said something along the lines of “if you really consider why you are afraid to cut your hair, you will figure out what youre really afraid of” i felt that, because Im a tall girl and i was told that pixie cut would make me look taller. and what you said is so true because i dont like being tall, but youre right, i need to get over it because im not going to spontaneously shrink lol, love the video!!
Belén Cusí: "It will reveal the men in your life that are trash." —100% and thank God.
Makayla Frost: One of my fears of getting a pixie is that I will look to much like my father. My father is someone I would never want to be. But I am going to do it.
Anabel Melendez: Loved this video! 2 years ago I cut my hair into a bob, I was scared of people’s opinions, I’m from a Mexican background and I totally get it. My boyfriend at the time was so supportive that he even took me to the salon himself and surprised me by paying for it. needless to say, he’s now my fiancé and we’re getting married this August.
Leann Gayle: This video means a lot to me. I just cut my hair short like yours. Thank you making me feel confident about myself. ✨
Louise wright: I’m about to cut my hair due to extreme damage and loss. Your video has reassured me soooo much! Now I’m actually looking forward to getting it done! Thank you xxx
Jinaria: If girls can have short hair then guys should have long hair too
Marc Woten: A very honest and helpful account! 15 minutes, 59 seconds well spent. Thank you, Gabriella.
GooJaya: Your hair looks great! I love pixie cuts - they definitely stand out from everyone else. I went from long to a pixie, so I could donate the hair. I only had the pixie for about a year and a half. Figured since salons are closed from pandemic that I should grow it out and donate again. The only thing I don’t like about a pixie is that I live in New England so rain/snowy winters/coastal winds were not the ideal pixie weather.
The Crazyhazie: This also happened to me. My coworkers asked me what happened that made me chop my hair. I had long black hair that's around my waistline. Then the next weekend, chopped it pixiecut. They thought I was depressed or something, but my close friends were not shocked at all since they know I've been thinking about pixie cut for a long time.
Just Maddie: So glad I clicked on this video. I’m that girl with thousands of “dream pixies” on Pinterest I have a hair appointment in TWO DAYS & I was going back and forth whether do go all the way or a bob and watching this it gives me that extra push and reassurance to do it!
IT’S LEX: I just got my hair cut two weeks ago the first person told me last night he thought it looked bad, I wasn’t hurt but it was interesting! My boyfriend loves me with my short hair and when we talked about it he was so positive! He loves me through anything I want to do and its awesome ❤️ I felt all those things. My ex step father would make me have my hair short through middle school, he was very controlling.. I got to grow it out in 9th grade. My mom left him so that’s great haha years later she has cancer.. again & is losing her hair, I didn’t want her to be alone but she was like don’t go bald so we got pixies! I love it, ❤️ I feel amazing and I made the decision myself.
rose queen: "Maybe I'll go to a lob, then a bob then I'll try a pixie" that's literally word for word what I've been doing XD I've been thinking about it for a while and my thought process is I'll go pixie (specifically almost bob pixie because I'm too scared to go any shorter) then I'm done, end of my hair length journey. So far my main concern is styling. I cannot style my hair to save a life, I can only tie it up in a ponytail and I've only successfully managed to do the messy bun once and I think it took 4 hair-ties maybe more. Bobby pins tend to fall out because my hair is so thick and heavy and I don't know how to use hair products or know what I would even need in order to style my thick hair.
Ashley Sands: I just turned 40 and have wanted a pixie cut forever!! I’m finally going to do it… thanks for giving me more courage❤️❤️
Random Name: Thank you for this video! And thank you for sharing your reactions and opinions about rude comments rather then holding back! It shows that those comments doesn’t make you insecure
MxMicah: 4:33 yep I get bullied a lot at school for having a pixie, one time during P.E some random kid that I don't even know was talking bad about me and making trans, gay, etc. Insults towards me (I'm out to certain people but still a closeted trans FTM btw) and my ex, his friends, a friend of mine who was in that class period, and people I don't even know at all had stood up for me since I wasn't there, I'm last period. It was heartwarming hearing about it honestly, to know that there are more kind and supportive people in this world than mean is amazing ❤
S MCLAIN: Have to share after watching this. First of all I'm not a youngster like you all seem to be (I'm 68) but came to listen to the video because my hair is growing out after chemo so I'm hoping to get to the point where my hair is LONG enough to have a pixie. My husband loves me even though I now have only one breast and then I lost my hair. The doctor told me before my mastectomy that she knew of men that actually left their wife after she had to have a mastectomy so you have to really appreciate a man who still loves you for you and not what you have or don't have, such as big boobs and long flowing hair.....
Swati: I'm thinking of cutting my hair off and literally this gave me the strength I was looking for!!! I'm going for it for sure now!!! Thank you❤
Talmeedah Emet: I love this video.. seriously connected to the message. I feel that women who are not afraid of doing anything, of being bold can be looked at as a threat to some people, therefore the “bullying”. Women who are expressive, who are not afraid of new things, who can care less about the opinions of others are to be feared , because it makes one strong, and No one can stop a strong woman.
Rubi Gee: OMG YES!!! You hit the nail right in the head with EVERY point you made! I, like you, waited many, many, MANY years to cut my hair. When I finally decided to do it, I felt like such a sexy goddess when the stylist was done. Now a days, I’m rocking a mowhawk...I’m not sure if I was to let the mowhawk grow out and have a cut little curly fro going on. Then again, I chopped it off bc I have THICK, CURY hair. I dk if I want to deal with that maintenance ever again!
Natalia Huerta Magallanes: I'm watching your video even when I already got a pixie cut a few moths ago. I was feeling little down with my hair and your video just remind me how much I doubted before doing this and how much I wanted it! Thanks for reminding me that I made the right choice. Love from another latina girl, saludos!!
Rose94: You are so eloquent! I got my first pixie cut in 2009 when I was 14 and kept it up until 2016. After growing my hair for two years and having it reach bra strap length I got so bored. I just got my pixie cut again in April and it makes me feel more like myself ♀️✨
