••• A LITTLE ABOUT ME •••
At the end of 2018, my husband and I quit our jobs, sold our yoga studio and 90% of our possessions and moved into our 1969 VW bus. We spent 18 months traveling the globe exploring, rock climbing, adventuring and eating delicious vegan food along the way. We recently settled in Joshua Tree, CA with our pup Gypsy, and have been adjusting to a minimalist life in a house.
I think it looks gorgeous so short. You have not lost any femininity with your short hair. It looks very elegant.
Your hair looks like a deliberate pixie cut and you look great! You have a very pretty face so any style will look good on you!
I love how honest this is. I've just shaved my hair for the second time and hoping I stick to my guns of never bleaching again. Don't underestimate how much of a safety blanket hair is. I always thought I was quite confident and didn't care what people thought but it's easy when you look like everyone else and "feel" beautiful. It's 99% bluffing.
As someone who has gone back and forth from long to short to long to short...it resonated with me when you mentioned wearing more "feminine" things like earrings and pink. I find I wear more jewelry and super girly dresses when my hair is short. And I recognize that it's because it makes me feel more "feminine". I recently cut mine short again (a number two on the sides and a four on top), and I'm practicing being comfortable with people seeing me as more androgynous. I think it's about checking in with yourself and knowing what makes you happy. lol, and sometimes that takes some trial and error! Thanks for sharing your journey with us, and best wishes!
I shaved my head after a disaster of a salon visit. I went from waist length hair to being bald. I used to dress super feminine always in skirts and dresses. Those feel weird to me now. Lately I’ve been wearing cashmere sweaters, skinny jeans, rocker boots, and boho earrings. And I have to fill in my brows and wear mascara or else I feel really masculine.
Your comments are flooded with how beautiful and feminine you look, in buzz cut, now in pixie look, you can do so many looks so well. I’ve complemented you before as well a couple of times. But all that is not important if you do not feel you, if you feel something is missing. I’m sorry to hear that, I empathize with your struggle. I’ve had a time in my life when others wanted a different appearance from me than I wanted myself. And I still remember how such a look can make it harder to feel yourself. I hope that it may come in your near future that you will feel completely you again. Thank you for sharing this update cause I had been wondering how you were currently feeling. Stay safe 🙏
Thank you for such a thoughtful and empathetic comment. xo
The short hair is very flattering on you!
it makes her look like a GUY. that's flattering? she should keep and take care of her natural hair as it grows out long because as middle age approaches and menopause takes hold, that hair is going to thin out really badly. there is still time to enjoy it while some beauty is there.
Rebecca, you are such a beautiful being and woman. Thanks for being calm yet vivid and honest(ly you)!
I felt this soooo much. I just shaved my head from having long hair and its soon crazy how much I feel this. Love u girl! It will grow ❤
I love it that you gave us an update! You look lovely
I personally admire your choice to go for a buzz cut!!! I will at some point do the same. The beauty of a cut this short is that during the grow out - you are able to sport a ton of different styles. I had a pixie cut several years ago, I loved it! 🥰🥰🥰
I went through these exact feelings when I was growing out a very short pixie. The “loving it” feeling lasted maybe 2 weeks and then I spiralled into a hair identity crisis. I felt like I lost who I am without my hair and it didn’t help when friends would tell me not to let my hair define me, or that it will grow quickly so don’t worry.. it does not feel quick at all when you are in the middle of waiting for growth 😭
At least you have the assurance that your hair IS growing and won’t be like this forever ☝🏼 patience during the process 🙃 also, you may find lots of styling tips on Pinterest for people growing out a pixie
I shaved my hair a few months ago and I love your video. You have such a warm energy. You look amazing 👏...
I'm at 4 months. This videos really made my day. I could relate to everything you said about your journey with a buzz cut. I actually cut my hair before I found your channel but I'm glad I did. Anyway, I hope you have a great day. You are beautiful
We are on our grow out journey together!! :)
@@RebeccaSisson yup 😊👍🏼
I think you look so chic and elegant with your short hair! It so funny because while I was watching your video I was thinking how lucky you are to look so beautiful with short hair. I currently have really long hair that I rarely wear down but I’m too afraid to cut it because I feel like I’ll look so awful since i have a really round face! Either way I think you look wonderful!
I feel you! Thank you for sharing the process. I cut off my hair about 2.5 years ago to a short pixie with an undercut to cut off all my bleached hair and get healthy again. I have an awesome hairdresser (Lindsey Lepore in Newport Beach) who coached me through it and told me exactly what to expect and the timeline. She was spot on and it was really helpful to have that guidance. My hair is now shoulder length and only in the last 2 months has flattened out of all the weird kinks. All that to say, keep your eyes on the prize. Looking forward to seeing some cool hats and berets etc through winter!
I can relate to so many of your hair issues. I'm about a month behind you and am not liking it at all anymore. Thanks for the great styling tips! I really needed this today🌻😁🇨🇦
Omg I can relate to finding out I don't really like short hair! And a lot of things you said in the video, but I'm still glad I did it, only two months in
you are so CUTE! i love your videos
I shaved my head a couple summers ago in support of a woman in our church who was going through cancer, so she wouldn't have to be the only bald woman in church. I love it so much, that I still shave it every 6 weeks or so... Using a number two on the clippers. I think for me, being an albino, my hair was always the first thing everyone noticed and commented upon, but I didn't love it. Now people still notice the color, but they comment on the cut, which was actually my choice unlike the albino effect LOL so I like that more. But if I was trying to grow it out again, I'm sure I would feel just like you do! It is a long annoying process! but you will find things to like about it every step of the way, I'm sure, because you just seem to be very intentional about being positive!
I love this!
@@RebeccaSisson I did to do a video on my channel about why I shave my head, if you'd like to check it out!
Aww love you girl, I can’t imagine having to shave my head when I didn’t want to, sending love
Your face really suits short hair! I think it looks great 👍 I'm really surprised that you only was your hair every 2 or 3 weeks considering you live in a hot climate. It's not the hair so much that needs to be washed but the scalp. May be this is a reason why your hair is growing slowly, perhaps the scalp needs to be stimulated while shampooing. Just a thought. 😍
I am feeling your pain. I had long hair and one day decided to get a very short pixie. After a few weeks it dawned on me how long it was going to take to get some length. It’s been 8 months and I did cut the back to avoid the mullet look but 5he sides were sticking out from the beginning of my ears. Like you, I also have cowlicks and forgot because when unit was long 5he weight hid the cowlick. Long story short, 8 months went by and I was still feeling masculine and very unattractive, I just couldn’t stand it any more. Believe it or not, I invested in some beautiful synthetic wigs, that were not cheap but they mad3 me feel more feminine. Now my side hair is in the middle of my ear and I feel like Buster Brown, ugh!. I will continue to wear these wigs until I have a short bob. I have learned my lesson and will never cut my hair that short again. I need versatility. Good luck and be patient.
You are so beautiful with long and short hair. Your personality and positive outlook makes us all love you more!
You're the best!
I've loved the pixie on you! Never looked awkward to me-- quite the opposite! As a long pixie cut rocker, I personally love it! Also YES earrings are the way to go!!
I have fibromyalgia and Myalgic Encephalomyelitis (formerly called chronic fatigue syndrome), so my body is incredible sensitive. The weight of my hair is painful for me, so about once a week my husband buzz cuts it for me (3 mm on the sides and back; 6 mm on top. I have found that my hair is only growing at half the rate in the winter. So, if you’re like me in terms of hair growth, you might find that your hair grows much faster in the summer. That might give you some hope. 🙂
Having grown out two pixie cuts, the first several months are the hardest. It does get better! I know it's annoying but try not to fixate on it--it'll grow :) You're doing great
I love your hair 🧡 I'm going to shave mine too!
I totally understand everything you are going through and feeling. I had chemo end of 2015 then just about the time it was the length of your previous length I had a stem cell transplant. My hair grows about the same speed..a turtle moves faster!!! I would encourage you to trim it every 6 weeks as it seems to encourage the roots to grow. My hair is very fine, I have more hair in the back then front so i can't wear headbands or even hair clips.
My heart skipped a beat when watching as i know exactly the challenge and feelings you have to deal with daily and sometimes hourly. I say have fun let it dry in spiked or right out of shower look! Most of all remember to love yourself! 🥰
You look great, honestly.
Your expression was so cuuute
Hi Rebecca! Don't fret about the hair growth .. hair grows faster or slower depending on the season. Yes you're in a warmer climate but there have to be spurts although I'm no expert. I have though, had my own trials with hair falling out, not getting past a certain point, etc.
Beesides ... you are way beautiful!! And not many can pull off the short hair and the dreds like you did.
More power to you!
Love and Hugs,
Your sister .. Rachele~
I think your hair looks fantastic.
It was gorgeous long, and beautiful now. It will grow dear xoxo
It’s beautiful short really suits you
I am growing mine now. Sometimes I like it, sometimes I hate it!
3:45 couldn't relate more. i cut my hair really short in the beginning of quarentine (not shave) and i'm just so over it... just want long hair
I shaved my shoulder length hair fully. Its been a week ots almoat 1cm now it grows pretty quick
I shaved my head a bunch of time and had it grow back to chin-length a few times and ughhhh, the struggle was REAL. I also have fine, straight hair with LOADS of cowlicks so the in-between stages were just awkward. But now that I do have a bob cut with my all "virgin" hair (meaning for once, I haven't dyed it whatsoever)... I miss my shaved head! It takes SO LONG to dry, i need to wash it a lot more often and I never know how to style it haha.
Anyhow : you look super cute, no matter your haircut, but i SO understand your struggle, girl.
You are BEAUTIFUL ❤️.
You look amazing with short hair, and you looked amazing with dreadlocks too! You are VERY feminine naturally and effortlessly :)
Your natural color is perfect, I wish I had it instead of my dull grayish dark blond hair :( Cheers from France!
love your videos just a quick question where did you get your fabulous couch ?
I did the same thing about 4 years ago. Never had short hair, decided to not only get a pixie, but dye my brown hair bleach blond. Looked like I robbed a bank. I understand your struggle, and know that the 'my hair looks so cute right now' feeling will return, and then go away. I've only trimmed a tiny bit, a couple times. I fear scissors now!
I shaved my hair a month ago with 12 days with the number 2 and since day one I knew that i wasn’t pretty , plus I got super fat etc etc I wasn’t feeling pretty , ppl outside looked at my rare... that made me feel so uncomfortable and kinda sad... now i loose a little bit of weight and my hair is growing so fast and I don’t feel too bad about how I look.
But you look great !! I don’t have to much hair and I was loosing a lot of hair and that’s why I decided to shaved , but now I’m not loosing too much hair and I think I’m growing new hair because I’m using some shampoos that are helping
Well, it is all about how you feel but, damn, you look cool! You are a beautiful woman and you cannot hide it even if you try because it is the energy you have, the aura - the soft nourishing voice, the delicate sense of humour, the elegant gestures, the tender look in your eyes, the smile, etc., etc. It is just in you, it is you. 😉🌸🍀
Sometimes you don't have a choice like me. Your attitude in doing what you can to make it look nice is trendy and feminine. You give me hope.
Your hair looks great--Luv and miss your dreads though...
YOU ARE FEMININE AND BEAUTIFUL INSIDE OUT. THANKS FOR SHARING YOUR EXPERIENCE.
I have a very short Pixie cut because my hair is very thin on top, it’s actually very thin and fine all over my head. It does take some getting used to, I understand!
You look beautiful, Rebecca!
I like dreadlocks as well in you (I'd like to do it but I don't have the courage lol)
Is your plan to do it again?
You are so lovely and your hair really suits you short!
Well to me you look beautiful and very elegant!
You look beautiful.
I remember in high school my friend cut my hair with house scissors into almost a buzz cut and I cried and went to bed that night literally hoping it was a bad dream and I’d wake up with my hair again. It took over a year to get to my shoulders. I’ll never forget how my hair stayed on the lawn where we cut it for like six months and how many trims I got to try to not have a mullet and then they’d cut it shorter so it’d take longer to grow out then I’d cry and cry. Lol. Probably the only time in my life I ever cried about my hair.
if you wish, you may try using a cold-pressed castor oil on your scalp- massage it onto your skin and leave for 20-30minutes, than wash the hair and rinse everything off; this procedure helped me with hair thickness and allowed them to grow a bit faster :)
I think hair grows faster in different seasons maybe
I like you with the short hair 🙂
plus i've even looked into wigs and clip in extensions
About 4 months i shaved my hair to a # 4 and it at a weird weird mullet stage and I've been hiding it with a head scarf 😅 mine has felt like it also taking forever to grow. I do like your hair at this stage tho :)
I enjoyed this video. Very honest and illuminating. I can’t seem to find the link for the bandana though.
Just updated the description with the link!
You would rock a Mohawk ❤
I’m known for my long large Afro and I’ve cut my hair 3 times, recently this September. I love the freeing feeling. One of my relatives whose daughter has Afro textured hair at waist length, told me, “I prefer your hair when it’s longer” she left that comment under a photo on FB. I deleted it because it made me furious. I’m learning not to respond to people’s valid opinions. Because this is what I wanted and will keep doing what’s best for me.
So strange that people feel like it's ok to make those kinds of comments.
You’re literally stunning with short hair, I think your cousin may be blind. Do what suits you and makes you happy!!
When you cut your hair you indicated that the dreads had caused damage - hair pulling out etc. I wonder if your hair is still recovering and that is why it is growing slowly. I've heard that using castor oil can help hair grow but I wonder if your hair would feel and look oily. I think the buzz cut looked great on you as does this longer (but still short!) hair but you didn't really choose this look so I think that makes it harder.
I massage castor oil on my hair once a week and wash my hair the morning after, once a week. My hair has grown 3.5 inches in only 5 months of growing out a buzz cut
You can take biotin and vitam E for hair growth
Hey Rebecca did you get any cuts at all growing it out??? Help! I had to shave my head down to one inch because of horrible damage to my hair done by a salon. I just wondered how you grew it out so well into a pixie. Did the "round shape" disappear quickly as it grew length? I'm worried about that part as I'm there with one inch all over already 🥺
Hi Rebecca, may I ask how long you had your dread locks? I am going through a very period right now, I am going to cut my dread locks, I don´t really want to do it..
You are just adorable. You have a tiny head and a very feminine face and features. I love it!! I shave mine OFTEN and so after I grew it out is time, I had dreads installed (on Oct 24,2020) so its been less than a week. It itches SOOOOO BAD when I sleep. What can I do?? Pleeeease tell me that this will stop!!!
Are you going to reattach your locks?
I think it looks good all messy 😊
It'll look feminine however you wear it, your facial features are delicate.
Embrace the freedom 🤗
Thank you! I'm still undecided about having dreads again.
@@RebeccaSisson understandable 🙏🏻
Your hair will grow more quickly in summer. ;)
I buzzed mine and had a pixie before that and wash it everytime I shower. Otherwise it's matted and if I've been sweating it will itch
you can get some real good head coverings scarf type online
I have a cowlick in the back and it is driving me crazy.
it's slow only in the beginning
I like your hairstyle very much)
You look good with short hair. Look good with medium growing out and awkward length.. you mock the spikey do on yourself. Why? I honestly think it's something that is edgy and works with you. Course I don't know you but it just seems like a hairdo you could wear to farmers market etc. Like you said, if it scares you go for it! 😜 Have a great week Rebecca (and Murphy and Gypsy🐾)
Have you thought of styling using a bandana half wig? They have them made with real human hair - such a fun way to change things up! Try it...
Your overall health & diet has a lot to do with your scalp health. IE, surgical drugs can help you lose hairs faster.
You look good so don't sweat it. And keep warm!😎
Try to comb the back not as it goes but how it should go otherwise it will never grow as it should, and tie it every time you do it and your hair will naturally follow the new way you comb it!
It definitely looks like more than two inches when you make it stick up.
I have heard that if you cut your hair when the moon is waning, it will grow slower; if you cut it when the moon is waxing, it will grow faster. I have not personally tested this theory, but you could check what phase the moon was in when you cut your hair if you are curious. ;) Also, to me, your hair looks longer than 2 inches. I would hold the measuring tape straight up instead of pulling it forward. That might give a more accurate reading.
Thank you for sharing your journey! ♥
I just checked and the moon was waning gibbous the day I shaved my head! May there is something to this theory.
@@RebeccaSisson Something to keep in mind anyway next time you do a trim! ;) ♥
I shaved my head August 28, 2021 when the moon was waning and mine has gown 1.5 inches as of November 28, 2021.
@@pinkfiction1406 I think that's about normal for most people - 1/2 an inch per month. Do you know how fast your hair usually grows? Everybody is different. I knew a girl whose hair used to grow a couple of inches a month!
To really test the waxing/waning moon theory, I think you would have to check after haircuts at both times. :) You'd have to be really curious, I guess. ;)
You are great with any kind of hairstyle, but to be honest I personally like this a lot better than the dreadlocks. You have a beautiful face and it doesn’t need to be hidden behind hair. ☺️
I’ve cut my hair too, in June and I love it, cut it even twice, but people are always like: hmm, why did you do that, you had such beautiful long hair? I feel like people think you only look like a women if you have long hair, but our hair is not what makes us women! I think it’s what society expects from us, to have long hair and if we don’t, they make us feel unfeminine. But I think femininity has nothing to do with a haircut... anyway... I wish you would love it, but I hope for you you will like it again soon and in the meantime, remember, you look feminine because you are a female person and identify as such!
You look beautiful with super short hair or long hair. You are very feminine. I wish I could where pixie haircuts!
Get a wig! They are smokin hot!
I always find it so sad when women associate femininity with long hair. I'm 65 and when I was young women, girls, actresses, so many women had short hair. After all the battles of feminism, girls seem to feel obliged to conform to long hair and pink waaay too much these days
I agree. I'm 24 years old and buzzed my hair off. I still feel feminine lol. Nobody needs long hair to feel feminine.
@@tutibritney 👏👏👏👏 I've felt more feminine with a buzzcut. It's odd how people associate feminity with long hair
You should wash your hair at least once a week. It keeps pores open, hair will grow better.
Normally, hair grows one half inch a month, so in six months it would be three inches. 🥰
Hi, Rebecca..You are an very beautifull Woman..I'm from Germany..bye..😀🌹
Rebecca just grow your hair. Do
Not cut it. Once it gets a bit longer
it gets easier to handle. Do not
keep it short. Your hair is a lovely
natural colour. Long hair is lovely
but any style would suit your great
looks. Lots of love from Zurich -
Switzerland.
disagree. the worst thing you can tell someone with really short hair is. “oh i like your long hair better’” ARGH!
