Celebrating Identity | My Haircut from a Native Lens

Hair plays a very important role in Navajo culture - so why would I want to cut it short & what emotions come into play with that? I’m here to share my short hair experience, how I dealt with the negative feelings & redefined what short hair means to me as a Native woman.

That length is super flattering on you. And it’s long enough to do so many different styles. Wear it up or down. Decorate it with clips/accessories. Wear the bangs different ways or just throw on a headband when you want them away from face. Thank you for sharing your cultural ties and journey in regards to hair.

Thank you for sharing the story about hair. I had a fun career as a cosmetologist. I loved to share my stories and what I loved to make women smile and confident. Yeah, I miss it a lot.

You look adorable! It's amazing how much bravery it takes to get a haircut and how much lighter short hair feels. And now you're ready for your next adventure!

Great job, Caitlin! Very informative and positive take on your decision. (I especially liked the "Irish" part.)

[@NizhonifulMe]

Thanks grandpa! 😊❤️

@@NizhonifulMe You're welcome, Caitlin.

❤ Caitlin. You did an excellent video on your presentation and demonstration about hair, care, and maintenance. It's informational and has a good content delivery to include the Navajo cultural beliefs about hair. I liked your reflections and feelings described on your elementary school memory. I agree that "renewal" is good for the soul. Love you. Nalii.

Thanks Nalii!! 😊❤️ And thank you for sharing your knowledge with me, I learned a lot about the cultural significance of our hair & it helped me to process and reflect on my decision. 🥰

[@rayster6949]

I like your haircut. I also liked your hair long. Hair is important to our people. As a former cosmetologist, my experience. I personally would not make a cut. Oh my goodness, I’m in love 🥰. As long as you’re happy.
