  • Please don't cut your hair short on a whim until you watch this video! Cutting your hair short can be liberating, life-changing, inspiring, but it can also be a big change that you might not be ready for. Are you cutting your hair for the right reasons? Are you ready? Let's talk about it!
    Short hair feels amazing. You'll spend much less time and product on it and people will be inspired by your bravery. But why would someone need to be "brave" to simply wear shorter hair? Well, braving rude comments and the outdated ideals of others is not easy. Some people truly believe women are only attractive with longer hair and they want to tell you about it. Let's chat about how to deal with the reactions good and bad to short hair on women. '

    I honestly feel I am my best, most natural self with shorter hair. I love the feeling of the breeze on my neck, I love the lightness of it and I think it looks really "cool girl". Sometimes long hair can feel too pretty or precious and I end up looking like a princess if I'm not careful with my more feminine dresses and outfits. Short hair makes all of my feminine outfits instantly look cool rather than sweet, and this is my most favorite thing about short hair.
    Short hair cuts require a certain mindset: this is for me, not you.
    And don't we all need more "for me, not you"??

    My friend, who had very long and lovely hair, cut it short. She got a lot of “why ever did you cut off your beautiful hair?” She explained that, looking at vacation photos, she realized that in every photo her hair was pulled behind her in a pony tail. She wore a pony tail more often than not. So, in the photos, taken from the front, she really had no hair framing her face No visible hair at all. She might as well not have hair. And when it was down, it was just…long. No real “style”.
    So she cut it short, with a style, and never went back.

    I had chest length hair in high school. My boyfriend at the time told me that he “forbad” me to cut it. Hmmm. Did I cut in a pixie cut? Yes I did. Was it a mistake in that it wasn’t my best look? Yes it was. Did I regret it? Not for a second. I didn’t have the most confidence in high school but I was really clear within myself that I was not going to let a guy tell me what I could and couldn’t do. That was in the mid 1970’s. I look back at it now and see it as taking my first true grown up steps forward. I was known as being “gutsy” after that. Thanks for unearthing that memory. You look amazing.

    I was one of those middle aged women who thought longer hair was 'more youthful' until I organized my hundreds of photos taken over my lifetime. My hair was most flattering when worn in a chin length bob, whether it was wavy or straight, textured or smooth, that was my perfect length. Longer hair didn't look as good at any age, even when I was young. I couldn't deny the evidence!

    A year ago after a lot of thought, I cut my hair short, boyishly short. I knew it meant a commitment to maintenance. It was shoulder length before the cut. But I like the edgier look. I like how quick it is maintain. It is also fun. It looks different every day depending on hair product. Did I mention I am 71? Oh, a lot of feedback is positive. People say I look younger. That’s a bonus.

    Only one time in my life did I allow my fine hair to grow beyond my shoulders, and it grew slowly. I was actually into my 30s at that point. I've always been physically active, and I couldn't stand to let it hang even if I curled it (I hate hair getting in my eyes or mouth, lol). I was always tying it back and got into doing mostly a vintage French twist thing and had a nice collection of antique clips. I'd also quit coloring it and the grey was coming in, which didn't bother me a bit. Long story short, one day, in about five minutes, I cut it into a bob. Will never let my hair get longer than my chin again. These days, I keep it even shorter. I love cutting my own.

You could have the face of a bulldog but if you've got long hair, they think you're beautiful. I have always thought that shorter hair is classier and really emphasizes you eyes and face. So SMILE!

    I've had various short haircuts, including pixie cuts, for most of my adult life, occasionally letting it grow out to shoulder length. You are so right about the split reactions when I cut it again. One thing I would suggest to a woman with long hair who is about to try a short cut for the first time is do not get a pixie cut that is close cropped over the ears or has only tiny wisps in that area. The reason is that the grow out takes months during which for some faces (like mine) that chopped over the ear section is not at all flattering. To get a pixie you need to really want it and be committed to it for months or years, otherwise the grow out is too much of a pain. A bob or "bixie" style with a few inches left covering the ears is much easier to grow from short to long.

I’ve had a pixie for 6 or 7 years now and I feel more confident with short hair ( I certainly can’t hide behind my hair anymore). It lends itself to a more minimalist aesthetic, which is what I aspire for. And it’s just easy. 🤷🏻‍♀️😊

    I've had my hair short since I was 12, I got my hair cut into a bob between cheek-length and chin length soon after my 12th birthday during summer vacation (my birthday is May 29) and I loved it so much! I instantly fell in love with everything about having short hair like this so I keep getting it cut this way. When it gets an inch or two past my chin, I get it cut to almost-chin-length again. The things most other girls hate about having short hair are things I love. I like that it kind of gets in my face and makes me turn my head a lot to see (I love my long neck and I think my neck looks best when my head is turned, as silly as that sounds). I also think my bob haircut brings out my smile better than long hair does. I like the way my face looks and ironically I think having hair that slightly hides my face from the sides draws attention to it more because people want to see it more. Some boys don't like my haircut and prefer long hair which makes me a little sad when they're boys that I like (I'm not going to grow out my hair for them though). Sometimes people are surprised that I exclusively wear skirts and dresses because there's a stereotype that girls with short hair are more tomboyish but other than my love of video games, I'm quite feminine.

      I love all of this! I also love the feel of short hair and how it moves around a lot. It feels great in the breeze. In fact, I'm often just walking around thinking about how great the back of my head feels. 😄 It's true about men and their strange ideas but I think of it as a filter. If a man can't see me beyond my short hair, I wouldn't want him to see me at all! And I also find that dressing very sexy/girly with this short hair is more fun and seems less obvious. I am always in a cycle of cut and grow out, so I guess right now I'm in a grow out stage but I do love every hair style in between. It's a lot of fun to play with your hair styles.

    Suits you! And you’re having fun with the new style. I just cut mine as well; looks a bit like your 25 year ago cut. Yes! I like having fun again too. I found a good precision stylist in the nearby city. Now when I go in to keep the cuts up I plan on doing fun things afterward, like meeting a friend for a drink.❤

    Your hair is adorable. Love your message of embracing your hair.
    Me, I’m a long hair wavy lady. I am not a short hair person, it makes me feel like a shorn sheep just having it at shoulder length. Embracing my waves in all their mess and unpredictability has been a challenge and very freeing.
    For those that are short hair people, I imagine that is just as freeing.
    Bottom line, be who YOU are ladies, love yourself and your hair and have fun with it!

    Naturally curly fine hair myself and forever remembered as the girl with beautiful long hair. But, I do cut it into a bob from time to time because it's an exciting change. In my 50's now yet, again rockin' long and often (stylishly) big hair. Because it's super fun! A former model as well, your videos are absolutely delightful and remind me to have fun getting dressed every day, no matter what the occasion 🥰

    Your hair really looks great! I did it recently too, after a couple of decades of longish hair. I loved it long, and now I love it short. I get the same responses you do- positive and negative. I probably wont let it grow long again, but who knows. Its so much easier to look after! Its fun! It feels light and bouyant, it moves on my head, it frames my face better. I can wash it every day if I want because it dried quickly. Also…at first my husband didnt want me to…I waited. After a few weeks he said- I am ready, i think it will look good on you, its time. So I did :) He loves it too.

    Thank you for this conversation. I got extensions two years ago to "let my hair grow" but my last removal, I lost a LOT of hair and had to cut off about 8". My hair is now nape length and I'm using clip in extensions which are much better for your hair, but I have a good two plus years ahead of me before my hair is the length I was hoping for. I'm struggling with it because I dunt like my shorter hair, but I think the problem is it's a bad cut. I appreciate you giving me a lot to think about. I'm going back to get a better cut and going to try withing with what I've got because the clip ins were supposed to be real hair but they are not and they are looking bad. I need other options and you gave them to me!

    My saga is a bleach job gone really bad and I had no choice but to cut it. I started cutting it myself, lol. I then had to go to the stylist. I am not used to this hair, it's a cross between a short pixie and a mullett. I want some dimension, so I will have to wait a bit for my own color to grow out, which I like that look, and I think I'll like it in the end, tho longer. Right now I feel a bit naked and awkward, but I can't do anything about it anyway so I just take it in stride.

  • @Elodiesmusicplaylist
    @Elodiesmusicplaylist Місяць тому +1

    Another tip; It is also a good idea to pay attention to the hairline(forehead) of the model of the pictures you show to your stylist.
    Whether or not it is the same as yours will greatly effect the outcome and look of the same haircut on you.
    I love your haircut and inspo pictures!

    Perfect timing. I’m 77 and growing my super thick dark (dyed) hair long. The hair is too dark around my small face. So I plan to cut and layer it. It’s much easier. And yes I’ll get bed head. By the way, your hair looks gorgeous.

    I love short hair, long hair, in between length or whatever. You should go with whatever either suits you or what you feel like at the time - we all make mistakes. But what I don’t like is cliche. I was told by so many women that as you get older you shouldn’t have long hair and you should dye it. So I cut my hair short and I looked, drab, awful and 20 years older. I let my hair grow back to shoulder length and it took time, but I looked and felt so much better and allowed myself to have healthy, shiny, silver hair. I loved this video and the excellent advice.

    • @unblahyourself
      @unblahyourself  Місяць тому

    I cut my hair because I was bored with it, long hair was not fun and when I cut it, I don’t think I had ever felt more confident and awesome. I miss it every day but I started growing it out for my cosplays because wigs make me unbearably hot. I would gladly take short hair again but long hair is working for me and I am dedicated to the art of a very specific cosplay lol

    • @unblahyourself

    Most of it depends on your face shape. I have a rounded face, and with short hair I look like a chipmunk! I need length personally, which totally transforms my face, even at 50. I love the look of short hair but personally I prefer long hair, as long as it's in good condition and a good colour. Your hair looks lovely!

    I gained weight during the pandemic, and I am truly obese. I just had my first cut to a short angled bob after four years and love it. I was afraid I would look like a pinhead so I procrastinated, but I find it draws one's attention to my face instead of hiding it under a curtain of hair.

    • @unblahyourself
      @unblahyourself  Місяць тому

    @bouffant-girl Місяць тому +1

    I have tried longer hair, but my baby fine, thin hair gets wispy. Also , I have a triangle head and face shape 😅, and cute, Chubby Cheeks! So, I have learned through experience to keep my hair about 4 inches long all over my head, and to have my permed with tiny red and yellow perm rods every 8 weeks or so. Sometimes I have my hair roller set into a bouffant, but a short , tightly permed bubble permed suits my cute little head and face shape and size ☺️

  • @dfinite4089

    Does it expose an aging neck, waddles, double chin, jowls etc? I know that shorter hair has been always recommended for mature aged women, but I wonder about it highlighting the parts that might be more attractive if left in the shadows of longer hair!

    • @unblahyourself
      @unblahyourself  Місяць тому

      I agree! My neck is starting to age and I'd like to grow my hair back to under my chin. But I have seen so many women do pixies regardless of the aforementioned things and they look so cool. My mom was one of them!

    Wait, what do you do if you want to take your hat off? Do you leave the scarf on? And by the way, if I wore a scarf on my head the way you so beautifully do, I would look like a Dark Ages peasant woman, not an enigmatic femme fatale on the French Riviera.

    • @unblahyourself
      @unblahyourself  22 дні тому +1

      Sometimes I leave the scarf on, but not always. The scarf usually leaves my hair in a state that it looks ok when I take it off.
