I Cut My Own Hair Short! (Extreme Long Hair Transformation!)

Oh, my god, you guys right now with my hair like this, i feel like i look like my high school freshman yearbook. Photo look. Watch watch watch. Do i hey everybody? It'S funny, and today we are on another hair cutting adventure. You guys it has been slightly over a year since the first time i ever uh cut my own hair at home, and here i am doing it again. I kind of thought i would only do that once, but i would love to know if any of y'all at home feel the same way where it's like something about like after the year 2020. There was like a lot of stuff that i feel like i used to be super scared of trying myself before, like cutting my own hair uh. I can't think of another good example right now, but just things that i thought i would always be too afraid to do, or i could never do on my own and then something after the year 2020. It'S just kind of like well, try it uh, because you know what's the worst, that could happen, even if i like cut my own hair and i mess it up really badly. So uh. If you guys have been with me for a while, then you may remember my haircut video last year and i honestly stupidly enough thought that my hair had kind of grown out to the same length as it was before. I cut it, but i just looked at those thumbnail pictures like five minutes ago, and it was like, oh my god, so much longer than it is now. But if you guys also have been with me for a while, then you may know i am on a hair repair journey, there's just something about my hair, mostly for the last two years. I'M not crazy about it. Like i feel, like my scalp, i don't know like, i definitely pull up my hair in a sassy vine way too frequently. I went through like a two-year period, where all i was doing was crimping my whole head of hair, washing it drying it straightening it and crimping it all over again and after i did that, like my hair, it just it needs a lot of work and it Needs a lot of help, and after i cut my hair last year, i kind of had like a several months like i don't know, honeymoon period where i felt like my hair just like, without putting any extensions or products or anything in it. I felt like it looked a lot more healthy, a lot more vibrant. It had a lot more volume and now, as my hair has once again gotten longer, i'm like oh, my god, it feels icky. It looks icky and i think that cutting my hair is maybe a little bit of that like magical difference, because i feel like when my hair is a little bit shorter. I'M more enticed, let's say to like, put on masks and treatments and hair oils and like wash my hair more frequently, um, because right now, like even at this length like. Oh, my god, i'm pulling it up so much more again because even like when i have it in a ponytail. I feel like it's still just like too much in my way right now being this long and it takes forever to wash and dry and style and so ugh it's time to cut it, and i just kind of feel like cutting it myself again, because once again, I'M kind of like in this place, where so much of my hair styling lately like if i'm actually styling my hair, to look cute. I use so many like clip-in extensions and bang pieces. So, like honestly um, you know what does it matter so much like what, like i don't know like every little strand of my natural human head hair looks like, but i don't want to mess things up, so fingers crossed um. Also right now, i'm spontaneously doing this today, because i'm kind of in a if you give a mouse a cookie situation, i'm halfway in the middle of filming a does. This thing really work: video for halo, extensions and, oh, my god. This is like one of the most magical products i've ever tested, but it's like a little like the extensions like the halo. Extensions are like a little bit shorter than my natural hair. So i'm like you know what just cut your own hair off um and then it'll look better with the fake hair. That is not your own hair, so go figure. Also, today, i am gon na be boldly just cutting my own hair with these super cheap. Eight dollar hair cutting scissors i bought last year on amazon. I was thinking of using this device that i used in last year's video called the xylist, but i almost kind of feel like it's just like maybe making things a little bit more complicated than it needs to be. But i don't know it does kind of make me nervous to like ever do anything different ever i'm just like. Oh just do things the same way over and over and over again i have my hair freshly washed combed, dried and straightened. I'M trying to like literally remember what is a salon experience even like do they cut your hair, wet or dry? I feel like most of the time they cut your hair dry, so you can like actually see what the length is gon na be like as you're cutting, i feel like parting. My hair is like the most difficult thing because i feel like i never have a clean part like ever. I don't part my hair to the side or the middle, it's just like whatever my hair decides to do, that's where my hair is parted, but i do feel like i don't know. I feel like there's this one straggler hair, okay, um. So yes, this is my hair. I did try and film some clips. Maybe i should try and like film, some more um. This is where my hair is at. It'S like it's like this level. Does that make sense i hopefully like. I hope you guys can even see i feel like today. I'M like taller than my backdrop. I am like just wondering how much it has grown and you guys it's like the funniest thing. Um i just rewatched my own youtube. Video, probably should have like refreshed my thoughts with like an actual hairdresser video, but i just watched my own, so i'm basically just going off of my own strategy, because i honestly like i couldn't even remember what was step one. What i did last year was i kind of sectioned off two equal hair, bundles you're supposed to pull it pretty tightly like to your head. You know, i don't even know why i'm like explaining this out loud, you know, maybe don't cut your own hair. Maybe do i don't know, i see people now every single day on tick tock cutting their own hair like i feel like that's just kind of like the norm. Now i mean obviously please go see a professional stylist, but i also you know. I said it last year, i'll say it again: this year i now kind of feel like. Maybe it is fun for everyone to just cut their own hair, at least one time in their life step. One is to basically make two pigtails and you want to pull the hair like smoothly and tightly so that it doesn't like wiggle around too much. Oh, my god, i feel like i'm like getting earrings caught up in my ponytails. I saw this once again on tick. Tock the other day, i don't remember what the name of the type of extensions is, but i'm thinking of getting this type of extension, where they like attach one fake strand of hair to one real strand of hair. I'M like, oh, my god that sounds magical okay. So now i'm gon na split these ponytails into two other equal ponytails, and i'm thinking like this is a good starting point. How many inches is that? Does anybody know i'm kind of thinking? This is like a good starting point, because what i did last time that i really liked that i ended up giving myself like accidental layers, which you guys said my hair looked like like y2k avril lavigne, and i was like. Oh my god. This is like such a huge compliment. I just kind of go through and like cut randomly once i'm done cutting like the actual length off, so i don't want to like cut as short as i want to go, you know uh. So honestly, i should like play it safe because you can always cut more, but you can't instantly grow it out. That'S maybe just common sense um. Once again, this is like real dead and crispy. Looking so you know, um see like i feel like. I still have some of these little like layery pieces that is just not gon na be captured in this ponytail. I'M gon na go like this. I'M gon na add a rubber band making sure to hold my head very steady, yes, uh, adding a rubber band. Yes, okay! Now, let me add this one: oh, my god, i've joined the ponytails. This ponytail is kind of a mess. What is that? What is that? I stopped filming for a second because i was like i kept messing up the rubber band ponytail placement and how interesting is it to watch me tie thin little rubber bands around my hair? Probably not that interesting. So you guys here we are, i feel like somehow these look more even this year. I'M also feeling much more confident, somehow and less confident. At the same time, once again, i'm probably gon na be using a little bit of these, like layering scissors later uh, but for now i'm just gon na use these and aren't they beautiful, um. Okay, i feel like i need to like stand here and like get my reaction as i'm cutting my hair, i'm now trying to like splay the hair out some um, because i feel like the chunkier that the bit of hair is that you try and cut like The more weird it gets, i need two cameras. I need like face reaction, cam and cutting cam. Let'S see, if i can do that, can i do that? Can she do it? Can she do it with an iphone? You guys? I don't know if this is like a pimple or a bug, bite discuss in the comments below. Is it a pimple? Is it a bug bite? Oh, look, i'm doing it kind of okay. Here we go. Ah, it's my face wait. Why am i looking down you guys? I don't know what y'all are gon na see in the footage right now, i'm just gon na start cutting it. Oh my god. This is not going well. Ah, okay! Maybe this is why i did do the zylist last time. Is that a straight ow? What have i done after i said all this stuff about, like? Are you? Okay, dropped, yeah, um, okay, that is clearly a bad camera system. Can i use this coffee to balance? You it's looking a little concerning not gon na lie, but look i've got i've got this. I'Ve got this. Who wants it see? I forgot the part about like standing up straight and beautifully like a graceful, ballerina um. Okay, it's not that bad! It'S not that good. Let'S do it again see, i know i'm like oh i'm trying to like look in this mirror very very, very far away. Maybe it would make more sense if i try the phone, can i do that? Can you guys see uh i'm trying to not like look down? This is going great. I don't regret it at all. Why does that keep happening? Look! It'S like! It'S like everything's, okay! Until we get to this last little bit. Oh okay, but i do you guys once again, it just like makes me feel like more vibrant um for some reason to have slightly shorter hair. You guys have to let me know in the comments down below. Would you still consider this long hair? Because at this point i consider this short hair now can we do the other side just as bad as we've done the first side gee, i hope so um. Okay, this side is definitely looking a little bit shorter. I won't really know how bad it is until i take it out of the pigtails i feel like we have this one all right. You guys, i feel like. I look better and worse already um. So now i'm gon na try and see what are these little stragglers that i can get. Oh my god look at that. Look at that! Oh yeah! Look at that! What what? Although you know what i really should not say what so wildly, because i already knew that there were some pieces, although i feel like i will be able to just do a bundle of more styles with it. I'M gon na go ahead and give it a little bit of this. I, like kind of forgot the point of this or you just do the the up cuts, i'm sure that's, definitely a professional salon term. I want to rip them out. I was going to be like delicate, oh, my god. Is it so much shorter than i imagined? No, not necessarily look. It doesn't look horrible. We can still have spaghetti dinner tonight without tears. That'S our plans, spaghetti dinner. Um! Do you like spaghetti dinner? There was a period of time in my life, where i suddenly like thought. I was randomly allergic to spaghetti. Why? Alright, you guys look at that. It'S not good! Okay! I know it's not good, but it's not unbelievable. So now, let's um, look! Let'S look at the back, which i'm a little nervous um, but you know what is it don't laugh or do i? I honestly, i hope to make people laugh so laugh go ahead and laugh, i'm turning my back laugh um. What does it look like back? There is it funny it probably is like. Can i just stop here honestly? I don't remember what i did last time see i feel like it looks so choppy. That'S why it like just looks funky. I feel like it's making it more challenging because i'm like trying to look in the camera once again, i said it in the last video i'll say it again, my hair strategy, even when i used to go to a professional a million years ago, i would tell Them just go just just chop at it. You know give me a bunch of like weird funky layers that don't make any sense. I think that's how i did that and then it i just like kept chopping a little bit at the front. But now i need to like carry that same process through, like the other sections of my hair, i'm inventing a new technique and i'm calling it chunk chopping. You wanna chunk chop i'll, give you the best chunk chop in town, i'm either really making it better or worse. I guess that's the only two options that there are right now now it's like these. These are like somehow the most fad. Looking sections that does not look good, that's what i'm saying my scalp just looks like. Oh, you know. Don'T ever look at my scalp um, or do you know so that's what i'm saying if i just keep doing this and like doing it badly, then at least my hair will uniformly look bad. Okay, i'm just gon na keep up chopping a little bit. I don't even know how much i'm on this camera, i feel like i've mostly just been on the phone, but i'm just gon na go through like section by section and up chop, and then i will show you guys what it looks like because i don't know How interesting that is to just see me go like this with scissors. I think i'm at a stopping point now i just filmed a little clip for myself just so i could kind of see how the back of my own head looked uh, because i didn't look at that. Yet myself - and i noticed like oh my god - it's kind of like doing that thing where it goes into a v or like a slight point at the back and i'm not sure if that's like a trendy style anymore for haircuts. But, oh my god. I remember like, and in the y2k times i was in theater with a girl, i thought she was like the most fashionable magical person ever. She was like super goth had multiple like lip ring, piercings um and she could like shoot water out of the front of her mouth. It was like magical and she always had her hair in a v shape, and i was like. Oh my god. I want that and i don't really feel like i've ever so much had that up until accidentally. Now i kind of tried to add more short layers here and at this point i'm just gon na maybe stop like. Basically, i just like to every time i do this, which is basically one other time and now um i like to kind of just leave my hair cutting scissors out within reach and then, like you know, over the next couple of days as i'm styling it or I wash it again or i just kind of keep looking at it and seeing where basically, i messed up um. I just like go back and you know just play around with it a little bit here and there until it looks a little bit more even um. I'M not sure if i did like as good of a time this time as last time, but you guys, i don't know if you'll be able to tell in these clips or not, but i already feel like so much better. I don't know what it is about me having like slightly shorter hair, i feel like it just instantaneously, makes me feel so much more vibrant and energetic, and just so much more excited to style. My hair, because i wanted to like leave it down for a second, but my favorite hairstyle - is to basically do the half up. Half down do um and i feel like with shorter layers on the top and a little bit of a layering effect. It just makes that style so much cuter and like puffier, bigger all of the things that i try and do with my hair and also behind the scenes. I just clipped in the halo extensions and now they blend in perfectly with my natural hair, i'm so excited to show you guys that video i am so excited to own these. Now i'm excited to hear what you guys say in the comments like i don't know. Once again, i don't, i don't think i did like as good of a job this time it might still need some cleaning up, but i don't think it's like horrible and at the end of the day you know everything with like beauty or anything with physical appearance. It doesn't really matter at the end of the day what other people say or think or if they think your hair is ugly or weird or messed up or whatever it is just whatever makes you feel happy and comfortable and uh. You know confident and that's what you should do so for me. I am really happy with this. I feel like i was nervous at first as i always am, but the more that i play around with it. You know i feel like it looks better and better and better you'll like once again. Oh my gosh, i feel like so much like weight has literally been lifted from my head uh and i feel like already my hair looks more voluminous and like slightly healthier. So i feel like it's just a win-win-win, but i am excited to hear you guys, opinions um in the comments down below uh. Let me know what you think. Let me know how bad i messed it up, but either way i'm feeling happy. Thank you guys.
