 Hi beautiful, today we're watching some people who haven't cut their hair in over five years. Chop it off. This video is by Penny Tover. I love my hair and it took me three years to grow it to my tailbone. Whoa, her hair is beautiful. I mean, I'm excited to see the change but like her hair's really pretty and I'm kind of gonna be sad to see it go. I got to the point where I was more frustrated with it than enjoying it. Yeah. The tangling, the deep conditioner, waiting eight hours for it to dry. Honestly guys, I had my hair down to here once and I needed to get rid of it. I was like, this is too much for even a hairstyle to handle. A hairstyle. I'm a hairstylist. Not a hairstyle, Brad. The real reason that I wanted to cut my hair was to cut off my past self. After eight years, I can finally say that this is the most confident and secure that I have ever felt. So for me, cutting off my hair symbolizes and embodies all of the change and growth that I've accomplished. I love that. I'm even more pumped to see the transition from the long hair to the shorter hair now. Oh, it's gonna be so good. I'm gonna be chopping off over 12 inches of hair but apart from that, I'm actually going to donate it. I feel like when she cuts her hair, it's gonna just open her up. Like it's just gonna show her body more. It's gonna show her face more. I just feel like it's gonna overall be a really good thing for her. I would love, love to see her with like a really layered short haircut and have her curls be like super big. Oh, and a bang. That would look so good. First, we put my hair into braids so that we could chop off as much as possible. All right, I'm past the bit time. Okay, tell me when you're ready. Oh, she's gonna do it herself. This is even better. Oh, she's going short. Wow, okay. Oh, hey, on. Okay, this is a big deal you guys. I know it's just hair, but like, this is a big step. This girl had this long hair for over five years. Like I think she said eight years. Like it's been a long time. I mean, this is a huge change. Oh my gosh. You're adrenaline in my body right now. Do it, do it, do it. Oh, I love this feeling. Show me the braids, show me the braids. Oh my gosh. I'm just jealous because I want to have this feeling. Like I wanna grow my hair out for eight years just to cut it and have like a day where you're just like, whoo. Like that adrenaline. Like there's nothing like chopping all your hair off and then feeling just so alive after. It already looks so cute. Oh, this looks so good. 18 inches were cut off. So now she's just getting a professional cut and I cannot wait to see what they end up doing. And it looks like they're giving her kind of like a rounded, layered, shaggy, bull cut moment and I'm here for it. There's sunlight, there's sunlight. Oh, oh, it's giving. Wow, wow. She looks like a different person. For me, this is more than just a haircut. It's just me further confirming who I am. It's a really big deal for me, you know? I've been growing and changing so much. I have really, really grown into my skin and who I am and my confidence. And you look phenomenal. Oh, I'm so excited for you. You look so cool and so much more grown up now and just like mature. And I feel like this was such a good thing for you to do. Yeah, I can just see you, you're glowing. You're so much happier. I'm so excited for you. Yay! This video is by Becca Summer. I'm going to attempt to cut my own hair. As you can tell, my hair is pretty long just from this bun. Yeah, it's really long. This is not even five years ago. This is like 10. This is what? Your hair is so long. And what we're going to do today is we're gonna do this. No. Maybe another one or another one. We're taking off a lot and this is what I have. Oh, this is huge. We have a mirror, hair cutting scissors, super long clippy and I bought those rat tailed combs. What we're going to do right now is make the initial cut which is going to be kind of short. This is going to be so difficult to do. I mean, she has so much hair. Like a lot, a lot of hair. And doing this bob on your own hair with all this layering involved is going to be really, really difficult. And I'm picturing a very jagged, not great. Cut coming out of this. I feel like this isn't going to be great. And I'm going to put it in like pigtails. So where this lies, I think I want to make it like that length. Oh, wow. We're going to stick to this and then we'll like thin it out later. And I kind of want it to be an A-line style. Hopefully you can see this in that angle too. Okay. I know that's high, but I'm going to just drag it down. So I believe she's following my haircut tutorial. She's doing exactly how I've taught you guys how to do it at home. So it should turn out pretty good. I mean, she's not quite doing the back exactly how she's supposed to, but the sides look good. I think I want it a little bit lower. Just to be safe, you know. That's pretty good. Oh no, wait, she is doing the back correctly. Oh, oh, this is going to be cool. This is going to be great. We're doing it. The big chop. Do it, do it, do it, do it, do it, do it, do it. I cannot wait to see the outcome of this. So excited. I'm just going to bring the two sides forward. Take a deep breath. We got this. I really hope this isn't focused because they only have one shot. Just get rid of it. We don't want to see it anymore. The long hair thing is cute, but I just feel like you're going to rock this bob so much more. Right now the hair is definitely wearing you. There's a full on jacket, like a full on puffer jacket on your head. It's just hair. Oh, no going back now. Oh my God. Wow. We haven't even got to like the big chunky sections yet. We're going to go in this one. This one's going to be like a hot minute to get through, you know? No turning back. Oh, I want to see the outcome so bad. Oh God. This is so much more, oh my God. Holy shit. Give me that. I want to make hair extensions. Wow, that looks so much better than this side. That's wild. Okay, so she's bringing it up a lot shorter. Yes, yes, yes, yes. I wanted it to be shorter. I really did. I feel like it was two in between like long and short and like, let's bring it up. And I feel like she's doing a really accurate, good job for doing this to herself. It's kind of actually crazy to watch. And she's adding layering. Yes. Guys, layering is so important. I'm so sick of people not layering their hair. It's so important. You got to get those layers in there. Else it's just going to look like a blob. Like a really like heavy on the bottom blob. I feel like she would look sickening with some curtain bangs with like a really choppy layered textured style and even like a color. I feel like she could do all the edge moment, some really bright pieces around the face. Like it would just change up her whole look. Oh, and I love a good change. Ah! Whoa! So I love it, first off. And it just feels so nice. Here, hold on. Let me get my hair. The legend. Oh my God. Oh my God. I can't believe that was attached to her head. Can't even see it. It looks like it's about like a foot and a half. So yeah, I don't really know what else to say. It's shorter and I like it. This cut looks so good. I could cry. Oh, it looks amazing. Wow. I'm obsessed with this cut on her. It is three billion times better than what she had before. She actually like has a hairstyle now and isn't just like wearing her hair or her hair wearing her. I'm so happy for her. It looks incredible. I couldn't have asked for a better result. If you've always wanted to chop off your hair but are too scared to do it, like just do it. It'll grow back. And like you might have a mental breakdown for a day for like two days or two weeks. But the mental breakdown will end and your hair will grow back out if you hate it. But like honestly, it's just a fun change, do it. Stop being a poo. That's all for today guys. Make sure you check me out everywhere else. Here are all my social media handles.
