Hey guys welcome back to my channel today we're doing something so guys, I'm really nervous. Obviously, if you've read the title, then you know what's about to happen here and you probably think I am on the verge of losing my mind, which you'd be right. I know in quarantine, everyone is kind of itching to do something to their hair right now, whether it's cut it or diet, or do something crazy. I am in the same boat, but I do just want to say that I already plan on changing my hair before all of this stuff happened before we were in quarantine, and you know I had an appointment back in February to change my hair. I had a whole plan that whole plan and then the world just kind of shut down so that even stopped me there's been so many videos out there of people doing crazy to their hair, and I think it's so funny but yeah it's my turn. That'S actually. Why I missed my video last week because I wanted to do this and then I woke up and had a mental breakdown, because I took my hair down and I was looking at it and I'm like I'm like. Oh my god, I can't with my hair. I have my everything it's so so. Let'S talk about my hair for a second, my hair is extremely long. I have had long hair for ever since I was little. I had long very curly hair. I remember my mom just sent me a picture of me. I was on the dance floor in Aruba and my hair was so long. I'M gon na have one of those bandanas on it looks so cute, but I had long hair up until second or third grade and then I chopped it right up to my shoulders. That was the only time in my life that I had a really drastic cut, and ever since then I was like traumatized and I was like nope nope nope, never kind of my hair. Again, ain't happenin, I just left it long like ever since then I mean I've cut it like that medium length like right above your boob area, but I've never cut it like. I want to cut it now, so so this is how long my actual hair is. This is all my real hair. Obviously I'm not talking about cutting extensions here. These jeans are way too big. For me, look at that. Look at my hair. Don'T look at the jeans. Look at the hair. I don't exactly know how many inches it is. It touches my hips when I lean back a little bit. It touches my butt so so yeah. This is what we're working with. Oh, my god, my little friend is outside this little blue jay comes and visits me all the time. That'S so cute because blue jays are supposed to be a sign of like safety and good luck and like protection, so protect me as I'm about to chop 12 inches off my hair, please I don't know you're, probably like Gina, why the [ __ ]? Would you cut all your hair off and I'm just like I'm just at the point where I never wear it down, because it makes me so self-conscious, I'm always fixing it, I'm always playing with it. Definitely I don't keep up with my haircuts. I haven't had a haircut or a trim since I graduated college two years ago. I don't know I thought to myself like maybe I should just get a normal haircut and like then just keep up with it, but I'm like, let's just have a drastic change. I also feel like I've been through a ton in the past few years, and I haven't made that like right, you shave your head slice, it change, but not as drastic. If you know what I'm saying when everybody goes through stuff, they just want to have a big change and I feel like I never had that. So this feels very like the old me and just like it just feels like it's weighing me down and holding me back and I'm just ready for a fresh start and I'm emerging into a new woman. So I just want to have the hair to match. So I don't know exactly where I'm gon na put my camera, because my bathroom doesn't have the best lighting. I'M gon na have to find a spot in my house to do this, where I can have the mirror, where I can see it, and then you can see me do it. I'Ve watched a lot of like videos on how to cut your hair at home. Some professional' some not but yeah, I'm very excited. I'M really nervous. I'Ve been thinking about this. For so long. You guys have no idea, like I always go on Pinterest and look at hair inspiration and different lengths and stuff and the short ones always catch my eye. But I just know I don't do that like I don't have the balls, but I'm doing it all right. So let me grab all my hair supplies. I got some things so I'll be right back, so I've got two elastics. I got my scissors I bought these. I don't even know if these are the right ones. To be honest, I just didn't want to use like my kitchen scissors, because I know that probably would about my hair um, but I bought these. They have the little like resting thing for your finger, so I think that means they're haircutting scissors right. I don't really care whatever but yeah. So these I'm gon na use, I'm like these. I'M gon na use to cut my hair like no Gina, and then I just have two elastics cuz. Every video I've seen people just put them in like two ponytails and then they just like chop it underneath. So I just Baptist. Okay, truthfully, I have my phone right here as my mirror, because the lighting in the bathroom - that's just not gon na happen today. I guess I'm literally just gon na. Like part, my hair, my hair is already in a middle part. That'S how it naturally parts. So I'm parting, my hair and I think it's parted all the way in the back. This is showing it hasn't even started. Yet oh wait. Babe. Will you help me part, my hair? I think it's gon na be fine. It'S just the back of my head has to just have a little line. Can you check it? Is it already had one line? Is it squiggly or is it straight? You don't know, no is a line like a like the top of my head. Does it look like that? Yes, right, baby, yeah, yeah, yeah, okay, we're good. Hopefully he doesn't want to be a part of it if I fit up so I don't blame them. I always do the thing where I put my hair behind my shoulders and I'm like, and I'm like, 200 selfies, like I'm just gon na put these in two ponytails, feel like I've been looking at the viewfinder this entire time, because I'm just so nervous those are Not even okay excellent got my two ponytails, I'm just trying to line them up to where I want my hair to be yeah. I just want it not like a bob cut, but just a little bit lower. I can get this even. Why do I feel like everyone else's hair is just in like a normal ponytail, but mine like goes like this. Why is it like bunching up like that happening? You know what I need to just stop overthinking it. This is like the eighth time I've tried to reposition these elastics. I just don't know why it's doing that thing like. Why is it doing that literally look at all of that cutting off like that is all gon na be gone. My mom sent me a tick-tock of someone cutting their hair and they had long hair like me like not as long but pretty three long and she did it in the front. So I'm gon na try that and see. If that feels more comfortable, she put one light year and then she cut in like the middle of it. So so this is what I got going on. Oh my god. This is actually happening. Okay, scissors in hand. This is happening. This is happening yeah right. She says before she cuts all right. It feels it's really thick. My heart is literally cut. My my heart is pounding. You guys, I'm doing it, I'm doing it. Oh my god. Oh my god, I'm shaking please. I have a lot of hair. Okay, I'm gon na be honest. It is not even at all. I am so nervous. It'S not like, not very even I will admit that so, if you're watching this at home, who maybe don't do what I did with like the ponytail thing, I got like a diet. You, like my hair, was so thick that it like wouldn't cut through it all the way, and it was like moving it and that's why it kind of came out like choppy, but honestly like when you move around and, like you, you know, do different things with It like, I, don't think anyone's gon na be able to tell, especially because we're in quarantine, I'm like I'm, not seeing anybody for god knows how long, but I'm obsessed with the length of it - and I just feel like this - feels more me than my long hair Ever did I don't know like I thought I'd feel like I was missing something without my hair, but I don't feel that way at all. I can't stop playing with it. I feel like I definitely could have gone shorter to like even it out a little bit, but even this is like aren't there, some haircuts that have like longer pieces and then like shorter pieces, I'm literally just trying to justify this being uneven. This smoke, it's fine! You know why it's just hair, it's gon na grow off-camera. I did do a little bit to my bangs because I'm my bangs were literally all grown out. They were pretty much the length of my hair, but what do you guys think? Let me know what you guys say in the comments down below okay: I've been chilling with this hair for a few hours now and I'm still in love with it. Greg loves it. Thank God, I'm so happy just keep playing with it and like tossing it around. You know it literally feels so much better than my long hair. I'M afraid I'm like so scared that it's gon na come off on camera like it's got pieces everywhere that are like uneven, but I'm trying my best to cut them, but I think overall it came out really good. In my opinion, it's definitely just a much-needed change. Like you are a thing in the past, alright, well that pretty much wraps up this video, I can't believe I did this, I'm so happy that you guys watched along with me and probably cringed along with me because you're like Gina, that's not gon na, come out. Even but I still love it and I'm gon na be rocking my new hair everywhere everywhere I go like I'm not stuck in the house all over the ground.

1k subs with no vids challenge: Omg your hair looks so cute short❤️
Kattra Kee: I have been wrestling with the idea of cutting my hair for quite some time it’s down to my past my butt but not in a pretty kind of way I’m a lot older than you and this lawn care makes me look like the crypt keeper. I want to cut my hair off so badly but I don’t have scissors that are suitable and I’m afraid I’m going to regret it, As well as my family telling me to leave it alone. At some point I’m going to do it probably watch more videos but you’re certainly helped it look like an easy way putting the hair tie in the front and just doing one cut my hair is not as dark as yours but that shouldn’t matter also used to in years past always have a layered hair not just one length so I’m not quite sure what to do I know that I could not layer my own hair and have it looked decent. Thank you for your video it’s my first one of the day I may put the idea on the shelf for a while and think about it and hope the pandemic gets over with soon so that I can get a professional cut. But you did a really great job with yours, it did look well not shabby at all it did look like it was intended to look as though it had tiny little different lengths on purpose and it will all grow into one length eventually and you’ll be fine. Rock that hair girl and have a good time glad you took the plunge I hope I get the courage to do it
Maquiavela: That hair was so damage girl, good to you for cutting out
Siarah and Zoey: The question is what does the back of her hair look like??
susy mendoza: “Look at my hair don’t look at my jeans” lmao ugh I never wear my hair down Either I’m so annoyed of it! I haven’t cut mine in the past 4 years
Amanda Permaul: Currently I have the same problem. Am 15 and am desperate to cutting my hair. And it ways me down. And my family doesn't want me to cut it! But some do cause its my hair. I feel like it would be better and a relief if I cut it. I never been impatient before about it. And I have dandruff and I think it would be easier. And I have indian hair so most likely it would grow back pretty fast. I had it shaved in the back and it grew pretty fast.
Andrea K: Omg love the length
johanna cannella: I buzzed my head right before Italy shut down, now I'm just chilling in quarantine growing threw the awk phases

Kyla Burnham: Oh shit omg Gina !!!!! Woah this is crazy I love it
