- Hi, my name is Vivien. I do not own the rights to the music played in this video. Playing in the background you will hear the beginning of Aretha Franklin's Amazing Grace which I was playing in the original video. The original length was about 30 minutes and I was shaving my head to gospel songs, lol. ( I had to remove the intro song because of a copyright content ID claim, sadly)
I edited it and put more uplifting songs over. I gave credit to the songs used.
Songs used:
Franklin, Aretha. "Amazing Grace" Amazing Grace. Atlantic Recording Corporation for the United States and WEA International Inc. for the world outside of the United States, 1972, track 7. iTunes, itunes.apple.com/us/album/ama....
Kamakawiwoole, Isreal. "Somewhere Over The Rainbow / What A Wonderful World" Facing Future. Apple Mountain Company / BB, 1993, track 14. iTunes, itunes.apple.com/us/artist/is....
Roux, La. "Bulletproof" La Roux, (Bonus Track Version). Polydor Ltd., 2009, track 4. iTunes, itunes.apple.com/us/artist/la....
Edit:
If you are wondering why I shaved my head, I will tell you the reasoning behind it.
My hair has always been the thing I loved most about myself and it was the only thing I thought was beautiful about me. I won the best hair award in middle school and ever since then just took pride in my hair believing it was the best thing about me. I didn’t love me, I loved my hair. I want to know what it’s like to love me for me. I feel empowered by shaving it myself. Yes, this is one of the most impulsive things I have done in my life. Yet, this hasn’t hurt anyone or myself physically. I feel liberated. I will learn to love me for me in this process of a new beginning. I also wanted to know if I had a weird shaped head and I don’t believe I do! Ha ha! I haven’t smiled like this in a very long time. I will find out who my real friends are in the mean time. Because guess what! Looks aren’t everything. My hair was everything to me and now it’s gone. Hair grows back!!!! I will learn to feel beautiful without my security blanket and that is what is most important to me in my life right now. - ภาพยนตร์และแอนิเมชัน
The way her face changes. From sad in the beginning to happy in the end. Like she was set free and released from her fears.. she is gorgeous
Fears of fucking what I really have a hard time sympathizing for people that don’t have that much to be scared or sad about
@@slavekingjoker7297 r/iamverybadass
@@slavekingjoker7297 jesus christ relax.
Megan Bailey well im sorry that she’s probably has basically fucking nothing to be scared or sad about the saddest thing that’s probably happens was a family member died And it is sad but being a little bitch about it and having a breakdown doesn’t help her or her hair
@@slavekingjoker7297 do you know her personally yeah? Do you know her life story? Doubt it lol calm tf down
Am I the only one who wanted to jump through the screen and just give her a hug? I don’t know... I can almost just see how she’s been feeling through her eyes looking at the mirror.
me too, i saw a lot of pain in her eyes and i wonder if she is ok....
No. I really wanted to do that too! She is so brave AND BEAUTIFUL right?
I want to jump out the screen lol😂
I agree.
I wanted to help her out
I just did this a few days ago. I forced my parents to stop in the middle of a road trip at a hair dresser and walked in and said “Take it off I don’t want it”. I felt free. I feel so much more alive.
"Take it off I don't want it": a great poetic sentence. And on top of that, your action speaks louder than words. I guess you look great!
Nataleigh Elizabeth okay?
@19brownboy81 I shaved mine once too and it felt freeing to me because I stopped caring what people would say about it and just went for it. Nobody said anything about being "held back" by their hair. That's kinda a weird way to interpret that.
19brownboy81 let it go boomer
19brownboy81 okay zoomer
They say that hair holds all memories, even the negative ones. So letting go of your hair is like releasing yourself into a new life. Have fun darling 💜
Danah D. This is so true! ✨
Indigenous people believe it's an extension of the mind.
Then I just let go of my old memories yesterday
Time for a new start
Lol
I definitely feel like that's true. I tend to grow my hair out if a sad event happened on my life. I feel like my hair's one thing I can hold onto. When I chop it off it's usually since I'm feeling more free.
this comment made me smile 💕
I wish I knew what she was thinking while doing this! You can just see so much emotion in her eyes.
But MANNNN she looks incredible 🔥🔥
Jade Madden thank you! I was just thinking that I had to do it and there was no stopping
Jade Madden that’s a bad opinion... I wouldn’t praise a nut job .
@@americanpatriot8426 theres no such thing as a good or bad opinion.
Oh my God you're so pretty and your doggo is a precious Bean
@@americanpatriot8426 that's your opinion 😜
I like how she locked her dog in there to be with her through this eventful moment
You can literally hear the dog saying "you're beautiful I love u"
Well. . . not *literally*
@@Jencifer13 SSSsH-
What fucking dog
I guess she needs to be reassured?
@@ax3lsantana897 at the end guess u didn't see it .
Why are videos of people having mental breakdowns and shaving their hair randomly appearing in my reccomendations
Its a sign.. but don't feel too bad because apparently we're in this together 😂
It's so strange too. At first I thought it was a joke because it seemed so ridiculously over the top but I guess it's just a bunch of over emotional white girls.
*Shave your head*
Maybe you watched too many britney spears videos xD
By clicking on this video you just increased your chances of seeing them more often lol
My heart says to shave it all off, but my mind knows I don’t have the head shape for this lol.
Just do it girl it'll grow back and you'll rather regret never trying it than regretting doing it, really:)
It's not about looking good. It's about feeling good and having this liberating experience. My head is pretty long and oval, I thought it didn't suit me but 2 years later I shaved my head again and I'll never go back.
I dont have the face shape lmao
@@makenzievan6058 Blatant lie right there
@@khaosreigns ???
damn you look amazing
Hannah Calnan she sure does
jokes onyou I don’t understand why someone’s opinion of beautiful would make them a snowflake ?
retweet
If u think shes amazing you need to go outside and see the trillions of women who look and act just like her.
@@caidenchristinaholmes3082 shes not amazing shes another 1 out of a billions. Shes not this amazing thing, there are women as beautiful and even more then that right outside my door. Shes not special. next
Girl I did that too and I'm 63 years young! You look good!!!!
63 years young. You go girl!
My 62 year old gf shaved her head in March
I’m 61 and shaved mine yesterday!
i remember watching this so long ago when i wanted to shave my head but i was too scared
now, i’m going to shave my head this afternoon. i’ve always wanted to, but i was scared that people would make fun of me for it. but this video helped me gain the courage to finally do it. thank you.
update: i did it and i’ve never been so confident in my life. i’m so happy. thank you so much for helping me gain the confidence to do this. it’s by far my favourite haircut i’ve ever gotten and i don’t regret it one bit
The shower you take after you shave your head is the greatest thing about doing it.
Wow you are amazing I love your bravery. I d Shave mine but I have no razor lol
@@DeatheGreapeR so u growing ur hair out or keeping it shaved
your hair doesn't define who you are, you look amazing. so proud of you girl
My little sister is bipolar and did the same thing last week...at first I almost passed out but she’s beautiful with her hair shaved.😌❤️
What means bipolar?
Rebecca X it’s a mental illness
Head shaved*
@@PoppyMack your rude all you had to say was is a disorder where people change there emotions
@@yourfuckingpoor64
How is that rude? It's a real mental illness and there's nothing wrong with saying that. It's way more than "changing emotions." Let's break the stigma. I, someone who struggles with bipolar disorder, feel no shame in what they said. They did not say it in a derogatory way.
Me watching this video:
Omg why is she going to shave her head, her hair is so beautiful and thick
Omg she looks so amazing with a shaved head, almost like it was meant for her
This video was a rollercoaster
If you did this because you had a need to feel alive, remember that you're gorgeous inside and outside and no matter what you're going through, you're never alone and you're being loved.
Your hair was gorgeous long, then the beginnings of a pixie were stunning (without the mullet of course), and your face shines when you're finally bald. You're beautiful regardless of you hair style. I haven't shaved my head but I had a boy cut for years and I'm growing it out again. It's fun to try something new and the great thing about hair is that you can change it again whenever you like.
I thought the mullet with shaved sides looked badass 😂
I shaved my head after losing my mind back in October. I was needing that change. It was one of my best decisions. Every woman can pull off a shaved head. Ya'll are beautiful. 💕
I've wanted to do this for so long. I totally understood when Britney Spears did it. Sometimes you need to just cut free and get a fresh start.
I'm impressed how she became more self-confident in few seconds (in 8:12); her expression changes completely!
I wanted to cry, I am scared if I’m honest, but I know I need this. I’m going to shave my head and I don’t care if I look like a testicle. I’ll be a beautiful nut.
Edit: didn’t expect this much support like woah, maybe I’ll upload me shaving my head
Edit 2.0: I DID IT! around beginning of June I shaved my head and I LOOOOVED IT. I’m gonna re shaved again cuz omfg I just adored how it looked
Woaaah 646 likes????
Camila P omg i luv youuuu😂😭im sure youll look beautiful
Susana Williams
You have no idea how sweet does that actually is. Thank you!!
You got this dude
You’ll be a gorgeous testicle:)
You shouldn't you'll regret it. Your hair is apart of you and cutting it is not right. :P
Why does everyone look so good with a shaved head then theirs me who would look awful with one
Tatum L you’d prolly look just as good stop thinkin you’re so damn special ;)
How do you know when you never tried
Never know until you try it
Try it. You can always wear a wig until it grows back
Right haha!! The ladies I've seen do this look better bald then I do with my hair fully done and long and all made up lol. The feeling I'm getting is it must be empowering to do this but I'm not brave enough for this!!
Sometimes you have to do something so drastic to change the trajectory of your life. It’s very freeing. And most importantly you don’t have to be having a mental breakdown to feel the urge to wack it all off.
No you don't have to have a mental breakdown to shave your head, but it definitely helps!
I shaved my hair off when I was 11. Trust me when I say it is the best, most empowering feeling ever. and its the prettiest I've ever felt in my life. 100% recommend.
You look so badass!! I shaved my head in May and I'm so glad I did it. It's so empowering (at least it was for me) rock that bald head baby girl!!
It's the best feeling ever. I'm a year of grow back :) she rocks and so do u x
I shaved my head this summer and it is the most liberating thing I've ever done. You look absolutely fucking fantastic!
Good for you for doing that and not posting it for views ur great
@@bgarv722 Why is there a problem with posting yourself cutting your own hair. It literally brings no harm to you or anyone unless she lives in a household that values their hair like extremist it should bring no harm to her either. What's the point of your comment?
Same
A bit butch looking but a great way to start afresh and get rid of split ends etc
@@swizzleproxi4810 that's kind of homophobic what you just said
I am a guy who has almost always had long hair. I think a lot of people go though this and shave their heads. I did this in my 1st year of college was a total wreck of a human then dropped out of college and eventually moved on to find me way. My wife had a similar experience. I am 46 now and realized life moves on. Everyday is precious. I have lost a lot of friends over the last 5 years and everyday is special. I live it like its my last.
I think everyone needs to do this at least once to experience the feelings
I felt this on a whole level! I suffer mental illness.. I fight so hard not to do self harm.
Hang in there sweetie.
Same, when I want to self harm a ton or have n I'm trying to stop, I typically change my hair. Be gentle to yourself much love🙏🙏
Keep fighting. It will get easier and life gets better❤️
@@evanfiend how is it weird? Do you deal with self harm feelings? I do and have since I was a teen. I would rather shave my head than cut my skin and possibly die of an infection.
I stopped cutting my hair off 4 yrs ago. I haven't cut it or had it cut. I haven't dyed it either.
I haven't cut my self since I waa 34 am 48 now.
I fight daily with my urge to self harm. Mainly I bite my nails. When they are too low to bite my mind thinks about getting my mates hair Clippers and shaving my long hair off. Than I think if I do this it only last a few days than I'm right back to needing a release which means skin cutting.
I've got rubber bands I use now.. Not the same. But my hair is still growing long. My life is still safe from not cutting my skin. Unless you are there you don't understand.
It's not something we can just get over.. It is not something we ask for.
Shaving your head is not self harm. It’s a hair cut
@@lindak1768 evidently you do not know or understand. I hope you never do. May you always have peace.
Shaving your head is the most empowering and eye opening thing. I've done it twice and planning a third within the next year. EVERYONE should do it at least ONCE in their life!!! You learn so much about yourself, your natural beauty shines through and it really does ground you. Life changing experience.
She rocks it, but I know I wouldn't do it. My hair is so precious to me
Nahhh,I would never do that lmao
I was once a baby with no hair, no ty ever again. and btw it´s natural for your hair to grow aswell so. having long hair is also naturl. so dumb.
No my hair is my favorite!
oh hell no. I will never ever do it!
i had a mental breakdown a few months ago and now i have a death hawk
Me too lol, but that was a year ago but big mood
Same but i ended up with a french girl bob
Death hawks are awesome
Best wishes to you.😃
ya all so sweet thanks ❤️
Oh my god, I can’t believe how much more empowering you look. Beautiful!!
Me: I have a 3 page essay due in a couple hours that I’ve not even started
Also me: I *need* to watch this video
savanna owl
Oof
god I want to do this so bad. I can't even express the amount of stress and time wasting that my hair causes. I'm pretty insecure and my hair is like a shield between me and everyone else if that makes sense? So maybe someday. Bucket list for sure!
My haid is over 2 feet I use it to hide my face when I'm sad, ashamed, or shy
candyman*di You are honestly so beautiful and you should go for it if that’s what you want
G E T R E K T you're too kind! and so are you! but I'm just chicken i think lol
This honestly describes me perfectly
I shaved my hair when it was at my waist! I’m a very shy and insecure person as well but shaving it all off made me loosen up! I shaved mine in may and it’s already passed my shoulders. I definitely recommend ❤️❤️
What's with the weirdos attacking you for cutting your hair? They're acting like you'll never ever be able to grow it back lol. This can be a rewarding experience, and it isn't permanent. Those people are bitter because they force themselves to live in a box with fake rules on how they're "supposed" to live life, and because of that they've got nothing better to do and just spend their time being bitter in youtube comments. Personally, I think you look gorgeous with AND without hair
I agree. I just shaved my head yesterday, and no haters yet.
Hopefully it stays that way. From my experience, most people don't even care. Some people LOVE it (and will tell you), and a really small number will hate it passionately (and will loudly comment on it within hearing range🙄). Either way, it's still worth it + highly enjoyable.
Em Evergreen I have long hair and I don't live in a box with fake rules I live by my own rules and live my life how I like it and I love my hair . At almost 41 I'm still growing it out and will never cut it!
My comment wasn't about people who prefer to keep their own hair long. It was about people who feel the need to attack someone for a hair length that they don't "approve" of. If the length of your hair brings you joy, I'm happy for you.
Creeping Tornado I was not trying to start anything just stating my opinion ..
i really felt that “what did i do”
happy national women’s day beautiful 💘💘💘
Maya Badali thank you love 💕 happy international women’s day to you too.
Liberating, isn't it?? It grows back, and it'll be healthier and thicker. 😊
Angela Lane that's not how hair works tho but okay
Amber Pockelé // it kind of is. when hair grows, gets dyed, gets straightened, gets ripped, or anything like that happens to it, it loses it’s natural health and becomes unhealthy and doesn’t feel the same as how it first came out. cutting all the hair off allows for healthy thick hair to take it’s place
Cutting it off wont make the hair ticker. It will just have less damage to it. The hair is unhealthy cause you damaged it
Your profile pic is weird
Once u have thin hair u will always have thin hair. It’s proven that ur hair doesn’t grow thicker if u shave it. It’s a myth. I wish. I would be shaving it all the time lol
Absolutely precious...
Buying my clippers tonight
Wish I could shave you
Lisa did you buy clippers? Did you buzz your hair. If not you should go for it girl. Bet you will rock it just like our lady here on the video!
Please reply please.
mich blue maybe she didn’t and just wanted the likes?
Shaved/buzzed head makes your eyes much more noticeable. Yes I've done it. Its liberating
When she was just a little it into it the shave it looked cool, like a modern mullet.
I was so happy when I saw you smile after the shaving.
I don’t know why you did this but, I hope you’ve been freed from the grips of whatever was holding you down❤️
Thats sick such a brave thing to do you go girl
Love the way she was sad, to ?????, to happy in like ten minutes
I’ve always thought about shaving my head, but as much as I say I don’t care what people say, deep inside I think I really do.
But at the end when you looked at yourself in the mirror you seemed to be freed from something.. and I think I’m ready to be freed from all of my something’s too.
Thank you so much, you’ve given me the final push I needed to change who I am. ❤️
You go girl. Yes it is a very liberating experience and you definitely feel free. And if you decide you don't like it you can always wear a wig. I definitely think that every woman should do it at least once in their lives.
I shaved my hair down to a half an inch. It was amazing!
It really suits you😍 don’t get discouraged if you miss your long hair, it will grow back:)
EDIT: tysm for the likes!!! 💗💘
That's what people told my moms friend she's been bald for a year now 😬
Well it depends on genetics for how much time it grows, also if she’s been completley bald for a year she might have alopecia, a hair loss disorder
My hair never grows, and hasn’t grown since I got my last haircut who knows how many years ago... 5?
Just Me it depends on your origins and genetics for how long it will grow but if you keep it healthy n stuff it will grow faster, try caster oil and stuff for fast growth.
Kate Z yeah, I wonder what I would need to use. I know I have scalp issues like itchiness, scabs, and dandruff, so I’m guessing I’d need some sort of medicated scalp products. Also, it’s not lice because I’ve been checked for that already, so I guess I should see a dermatologist.
When she started cutting it:
2:30
When she started shaving it:
4:52
8:06 her expression changed so quick :( ♥️ precious
My anxeity wont let me enjoy the video because all I can think is "Are you ok? How are you feeling?". But you look AMAZING! It suits you soooooo well! I'm so jealous! My forehead is huge so I cant ever rock a shaved head. Much love.
Abra same ! If my forehead wasn’t so big I think I would be bald by now for sure ! Lol
Abra Jesus got her!
Sister.. if you shave your head, your forehead will go all the way back 😂😂 so who cares how big it is
that’s not anxiety. it’s called empathy. as someone who’s been PROFESSIONALLY diagnosed with anxiety, this comment is ridiculous. sorry 🤷🏻♀️
This comment is basically how I feel, I think shes going through something and i have a big forehead
I shaved my head last month and I currently go to high school and at first I was incredibly scared and shy and thought that everyone would judge but I actually had really awesome supportive friends and teachers and I’ve felt more confident than ever and so far my hair has grown a lot, when I shaved my head I used nair, scissors and an eyebrow razor. You look absolutely amazing
I rlly wanna do it, I'm just afraid of what people will think and I'm too shy
You go girl
you’re perfect inside and out. thank you for being so inspirational and strong. the world and little girls need more people like you to look up to.
Anyone else think her hairline is so unique and beautiful? Widows peak and the edges
Wow! You have amazing confidence! So brave and powerful believe it or not! It’s scary to let go of something that comfort you but in the end you let go of that comfort and started a BRAND NEW YOU!! and NO ONE ☝️ can take that away! Just Spectacular!! You Go Girl!!
having long af hair and cutting it all off was the most liberating experience of my life - i recommend it to any women. you hair does not determine your beauty. Stop treating your hair like a security blanket. If you are able to make the choice to do it - do it. Your hair will always grow back :)
***however i understand this to be very untrue for women who had NO CHOICE in the losing of their hair (ie. chemo...) i do work with breast cancer patients doing reconstructive surgeries and it is very heart breaking for many***
I've done the short cut, not liberating at all. I love my hair long inspite of people always telling me I should cut it. So for me, I would not recommend, it's not some miracle cure to get your life back on track. But eh, what works for some, might not work for others. Shave your head if you really want to, have long hair if that's what is making you happy. ❤️
Very emotional. One of the best videos ever.. beautiful 🖤🖤🖤🖤
This video was empowering, I can see the change from sad to happy throughout the video. You look amazing.
I don’t know why this had me on the verge of tears. You’re such an inspiring and beautiful soul
Could you do a hair growth update?
I posted one just now!
Deathe GreapeR thanks!
I shaved mine this February and now I love the healthy growth it has now. Ear length, it take strength to do this. Well done 👍🏻
There’s almost something liberating watching a woman save her head. It’s a way of letting go, letting God and humbling yourself to new experiences. Plus, you look damn good! 🔥
Looks great! I shaved my head back in September. Had long hair my whole life. I'm 50. I LOVE it, won't ever have long hair again!!!
What is it with people? Have had my head shaved for well over 10 years, and when strangers see my head they automatically think I have cancer! I am 63, and I still can't stop running my hands over my just shaved bonce! Free your head!!!
Bet you look stunning
pinkwind Like a bald head is a mark of cancer or something. It's sick really.
@@pinkwind ha. Yes they do. I didn't even go all the way, just shaved sides n short on top and i got asked by a friend at work if i was "ok". Lol. But she meant will so I wasn't bothered by it at all. It would be totally different coming from a stranger
I got a dandruff ad before this
Just...WOW. I did mine 23yrs ago & was liberated...I’ve been doing every once in a while it ever since. You get hooked!! Xxxx
I've shaved my head twice. It is such an incredibly freeing experience! Thanx for letting us see yours!😁💕
Damn I got emotional just watching this. It's crazy how it's just hair and it grows back yet it means so much. I got one question, was it cold?
yes!!!!!
Girl, you look so beautiful!! I shaved my hair in may. My hair right now literally looks that mullet you had!! 🤣 It’s just how my hair grows 🤷🏻♀️🙄🙄 Watching this made me feel all of the emotions I had when I shaved mine! I loved this video. Hope all is well 💕
Most people may disagree but many women look good with a shaved head
@@sxymike12 agreed!
What is the reason behind it is it like an empowering thing? Breaking stereotypes or just generally not giving a fuck what people think?im intrigued to know why so many girls are doing this lately 😕❤️ not being negative just want to understand abit more.
lilly mai My mom went through Chemo and radiation 🙂 She had to shave all of her hair. Actually, it mostly came all out with a comb. She wasn’t too sure about her feelings about it until later that night I had too shaved off my hair. It made her feel so much more confident! Not only her but me myself 🙂 My hair is already passed my shoulders. Best decision I’ve ever made 😁
@@moriahwillard2259 wow you are literally amazing to do that for your mom, now whatever happens in the future thats something you and your mom will always remember, you must be really close I hope she is doing well now or as well as you can do after having cancer. ❤️
When I was diagnosed with breast cancer, I'm sad to say that one of my (and most women's) thoughts was that I was going to lose all my hair. People may assume it's just vanity, but it is so much more than that. A lot of our self identity is attached to our hair. I can 100% say that losing all my hair was the best thing that's ever happened! I had to reset a lot of notions about how I faced the world because there was nothing to hide behind anymore. I was always told that shaving your head at least once should be on every woman's list. At the time, I wouldn't have had the guts, but I'm glad it happened anyway. Be bold and do it! You'll be surprised how good you look and discover features you've never really noticed. It is the most liberating thing you'll do for yourself. And during lockdown is the perfect time. Hair grows back! I was completely bald at the end of 2017 and now my hair is halfway down my back. It's also a great move if you have damaged hair or want to stop coloring it without dealing with growing the color out. I'd do it again!
Thank you for letting us witnessing your rebirth❤
for everyone in the comments who’s ‘too scared to shave their heads’ just do an undercut! i’ve had one for a few months now bc it’s so nice to feel the freshly cut hair in the back but when i’m not feeling it, i can just have my hair down and no one has to know it’s there
isabelle ayy doesn’t work if you have Afro hair
Kaitlyn D they’re actually very common among girl with ‘afro’ hair. undercuts help get rid of a lot of the unnecessary thickness in your hair so you can wearing it in more styles
isabelle ayy that’s not what I meant I meant having your hair down to cover it won’t work
Undercuts SUCK to grow out. I’ve been growing mine (I also had the sides shaved) out for a few months and it’s finally collarbone length. Before I cut my hair into a short bob it looked like I had bad extensions...
My mom used to buzz the back or side of her head bc her hair was super thick and having all of it was too much work too maintain plus was was super heavy and made summers hell
You are so beautiful before and after!! I did the same thing a month after you did. And I felt so free and realized it didn’t matter what anybody else thought! Besides.... it’s hair. It grows back☺️
Shandi Mcdowell exactly I want to but I just know my family and people at my school are gonna judge and hate it
And I’m already a tomboy and if I do that people are gonna think I’m transgender or have cancer so 🤷♀️
Kate TheTakiKween excuse my language but fuck them. It’s not their hair. Just keep your chin up and don’t let them get under your skin. Do what YOU want
Kate TheTakiKween sorry I never saw this lol. It doesn’t matter what they think. My mom said I looked like a dyke. But my hair was so dead. It was and still is the best decision I made for my hair. It’s so healthy. If you want to do it I think you should. I doubt you would regret it. (Well maybe for a little bit) but after a few months it starts to grow back and you look super cute! Don’t worry about what others say!!
Thank you guys
You’ve no idea the amount of bravery this takes. You always gain strength through pushing past boundaries and your comfort zone. Well done you. It’s only hair it will grow back and you’ve gained emotional depth.
Wow... Stunning!!! I came here for inspiration and got it 😍
It suits you! I shaved my hair off in the 70's (I was a punk) and my mother went nuts and sought the help of a psychiatrist who declared it as "normal teenage exploration behaviour", she was not happy with that and thought the doctor would be onside with her, LOL!
If you still have the long pieces have you thought about donating to a cancer charity to be made into wigs?
Wig makers tend to accept non treated hair. 100% natural hair. My friend tried and they wouldn't even take the hair.
Her hair was dyed, they won’t accept it.
Aww that's a shame. If I was bald through chemo I would be overjoyed to have a wig made from Vivien's shorn locks!
I've just had a look on some hair donation websites and it seems that some will accept hair that is dyed or bleached, as long as there are no colours like blue, green, purpe etc. A small proportion of grey hair can be acceptable too. Hair extensions and dreadlocks are not acceptable. Seems that they are more concerned with length (obviously!). I'm in the UK, maybe rules are different elsewhere depending on the charity.
I'm still a punk hahaha. I wish I could shave my head but I'm too fat, I'd look like a cancerous egg.
girl i feel whatever you are going through and your amazing with or without hair, also the song you played is literally one of my favs, thank you girl for this sensation of well idk what it is but thank you 🥺
It’s a very liberating feeling when you shave your head. Speaking from experience I loved it. And honestly I want to do it again. ❤️ at the end she looks as if she free 💕
This video makes me feel so euphoric every single time
I want to do this but so scared it's gonna look bad on me, looks fab on you
It is the best feeling honestly you should shave your head if it's what you really want a shaved head on a girl is always cute as fuck
Rachel Mel as long as you rock it, it’ll look great. You live once. Life is to short
Me too
It’s been awhile since these videos started to show up in my recommendations and I’m getting motivated to cut my hair but bot shave it tho, my hair is so so long and it’s been a part of my identity like ppl always refer to me “the girl with the long hair” i love it but since last year i started hating it so much it’s so heavy so thick so wavy and so long! And that’s not a good combination so i think I decided to cut my hair to my collar bones
Shehanna Alharthi you should donate it!
xLonerx yah i should but I don’t know if I’m ready for a big chop, i saiid maybe i cut it little by little so i can see what length im comfortable with because I haven’t seen my hair shorter than my chest ever in my life
Shehanna Alharthi I used to have super long thick hair and I cut it all and regretted it, lmao now I’m working on growing it back and getting my hair healthy again. I’d seriously do anything to have my long hair back so yeah. just be careful and try to cut it little by little so you’re sure you like it or try layers!:)
Shehanna Alharthi yeah the change can feel weird but I hope you love it! I’m sure your hair is even more healthy now! and yeah my hair has made some progress, but thanks I’ll try the coconut oil though:) it’s not too bad, I just can’t wait to get it long again haha
lauren n also a technic we use here is when you apply the oil to your hair you flip it and massage your scalp for 10 minuets when your head is downwards so the blood cycle gets active in your hair and makes it grow longer if you do that every week or other week! Test it out it’s worth it and thank you for your kind words hope your hair gets long fast
Wow , I feel so sad. I can see how depressed u look. I hope u feel better now. And life is to short to let things get to u. Xoxox
Her smile is so heart warming
First of hecking all you’re freaking gorgeous what the heccccc. You pull this off so well. Thank you for sharing this with the internet.
Oml I though you looked gorgeous with hair but THE BUZZ LOOKS SO GOODDDDD
You look so powerful with your shaved head, you go girl!
6:00 when she seen the mullet, everything changed lol
She should have just stopped there.
Shaving my head was the best thing I have ever done. I felt beautiful for the first time in a long time
I did the same thing 10 months ago... 1 month after I got sober. I felt so free & like a brand new person. No regrets! You definitely rocked it! 😁
The intro is pure art, literally
Omg this broke my heart because of how sad she looked.. I even almost cried 🙌
P.S. your so adorable and amazing ❤️🤗
I love this!
You know, a buzz cut doesnt suit on everybody, but it's beautiful on you.
This honestly makes me so proud and happy
THE GLOW YOU RADIATE AFTER YOU’RE DONE 😍✨ I LOVE IT
I have Ehlers-Danlos Syndrome which causes joint instability and my head, neck and upper back have been in so much pain I have been trying to figure out when the time is right for me to shave off my purple dreadlocks that are down to my waist. They are very heavy and I know the weight is contributing to my pain and weakness. I don't know when I'll do it. But I think soon. I have been bald (with bangs and sideburn hair) many times so I don't know why I'm so scared. I love my dreads, it's a huge change. Thank you for showing this transformation and your boldness and bravery to change your appearance in such an extreme way. You look beautiful!
my cousin has Ehlers-danlos syndrome, she has youtube channel as well.
anytime is right to shave your head. if your hair is causing you pain then get rid of it.

I have Elhers Danlos as well. It’s a hard one to explain to people. One because it’s not very heard of, and two, a lot of the symptoms contradict one another. “So like, you’re hypermobile yet stiff at the same time? You dislocate all your joints but feel like they’re locked?” It sucks. My mom is basically crippled by it but luckily I got it to a much lesser degree than her. I am so glad TH-cam has become a platform for uncommon illnesses and syndromes to become widely talked about. I will definitely check out your cousins channel Viv!
Well, I still have my dreads. I feel EDS has stolen so much from me....my social life, nearly all my friends, my two very different yet very challenging careers, my business I grew from the ground up, and my ability to earn any money. It has also caused me to gain 50 pound in the past year and a half, after being skinny my entire life which has caused me to be unable to wear any of my favorite clothes and I am now in splints, casts and braces from head to toe, leaving me without my personal style and individuality. Due to the connective tissue disorder I now understand why all of my many tattoos took so much time to heal and caused unimaginable infections, and I have taken out all the metal beads from my dreadlocks and every piercing I have so that I can get my neverending MRI'S and scans from head to toe. I am heading in to surgery for gasteoparesis for a feeding tube which has stopped my ability to eat or even tolerate being around food or food smells. So I have decided that although my arms are way too weak to tighten and fix the extra fuzzies of new growth and the loosening of the roots of my dreads, I have given enough of myself away to this disease and have even begun having seizures now from Dysautonomia syncope.
I don't know if or when I might give in and get rid of my hair. But I'm really unhappy with the way I look after all the weight I've gained and can't imagine not having my outward appearance of my individuality after all this disease has taken from me.
I really want to do my own TH-cam channel about my experience with this illness considering the majority of the people I have seen who do weekly vlogs about it are literally half my age, and the reality of it is that it takes most people more than 20+ years to get the proper diagnosis (as it did me). Unfortunately, I don't have an income or a camera or a laptop to record the vlogs or edit them. So for now, I go to doctor appointment after doctor appointment and surgery after surgery and then I'm home asleep because I'm too tired to do much else.
I am so discouraged by having lost my social life and everything I have been interested in, my talent was equestrian which clearly I can't afford or physically tolerate anymore. I was a nurse for 15 years and then a dog groomer for another 10, before all of that I gave riding lessons and went to punk shows. I miss my life. I miss having a life where I could connect with people on any level through my interests.
I hate to complain and sound like such a bummer, but I'm just spending my life trying to get through each day. That to me isn't a life. Where is the quality in that? At 44 I have a long road in front of me and just hope that it doesn't continue to only consist of the only social life I have being the countless doctor and specialist appointments I have on such a routine basis. Even just to share my life through TH-cam would be so much more inspiring and I'd feel like there's a lot more quality in reaching out that way than just day after day of this same old thing.
Thank you for sharing your cousin's channel with me. I will definitely be checking that out. I really appreciate your comments, and appreciate your words of encouragement and support!
You look so freaking good!!! You're out there rocking it and slaying it!!
Looks awesome! Much better than long hair in my opinion...
Just beautiful
I did this when I was 47. So wish I had done it when I was young. It was a very liberating decision. You’re beautiful and hair grows back.
that mullet tho
I’ve always been self conscious about my hair, it’s really short and stuff...whatever, you have inspired me to just let go and not care what people think. Thank you. You look stunning btw ❤️.
Just beautiful! How encouraging, you are amazing!
My hair is so damaged and gross I want to shave my head when I move out but I'm scared.
Go for it! It's such a freeing experience
@Blondie09 :)) thanks.
That is the Best time to shave it when your hair is ruined Lol I’ve done it several times because I was always experimenting on my hair with bleach and hair color 🤣🤣🤣now I’m starting to get bits of Grey so I cut it real short just yesterday to see my natural hair color, I love that it is softer and healthier and still almost all brown!🤣🤣🤣 I’m 62 now I’ve had long and very short hair and every thing in between so I say do whatever you want 👊🏻
You can get it cut to a cute pixie first,you don't have to shave it all if you're nervous about it. You can always cut off more later if you still want to..I just did exactly that and I already want to cut more off. But I don't think I would look good bald..this girl is brave though!
