hello my friends, it's nina :) so...
i cut my hair on monday 4/8
and i kept it a secret until wednesday 4/10
on wednesday i tweeted this picture and also put it on my ig story
y'alls reactions... :o
when nina realized she may have made a mistake
some of y'all thought it wasn't my hair too
i wanted to reply to y'all but i tried to keep it a secret for the video
i even had my hair in a bun the last two days in case someone saw me
finally i'll end the confusion with this video
enjoy!
I'm scared
Why am I nervous? I'm not even
I'm not gonna regret this.
hello my friends
It's Nina and I'm cutting my hair off
So as you can tell by the title of this video
I haven't cut my hair in about three years
I think the last time I kind of was 2016
I'm not very sure
in 2016 I cut my hair
It was like 3 a.m.
I was feeling really brave and I cut it off
my hair is now super long
So this is my hair as you can see it goes to... about my hips.
It's inconveniently long now
oh i like my long hair though
what am i doing
The longest hair is right near my tail bone as you can see
it's 7 p.m I have some homework to do but
I can't do my homework until I shower and take off my makeup
but I can't do any of that until I cut my hair
This is kind of like a teaser of what kind-of short hair would look like on me
it doesn't look that bad either
i'm so scared i like my long hair
but it's just become super inconvenient now that it just gets caught everywhere
i don't really wanna cut my hair
This is taking longer than I thought
I'm not in the right mind state for this
I'm too aware of what I'm doing
Anywho, I'm not doing anything super drastic to my hair
I'm just going to cut it
I tweeted and said that I wanted bangs
I'm not doing that.
I realized I'm super low maintenance and I just don't want to deal with bangs
I also mostly tie my hair up anyway
So I feel like bangs will just be pointless
and I'm just going to put them away from face anyway
I wanted bangs kind of like curly bangs just on my face
and kind of long that frame my face
but I kind of already have it so I'm not going to do that
Also, I don't want to have regrets
so I think I'm just going to cut a good ten inches off my hair
I also want to donate my hair
it's like, i've grown my hair for three years now
I might as well donate it
and the minimum length they want for donating hair is about 10 inches
I definitely have that
I feel like you guys mostly know me for long hair
which I understand because I mostly have long hair in my life
but there was a period of time from 2016 (to whenever) that I had short hair
No one really knew me at that time
so no one really knows that I had short hair,
but I had short hair.
I had extremely short hair
so whatever I do today, I can't really regret it
for now I'm going to cut 10 inches and then I'm going to fix my hair length
because I know this is probably not the right method
Okay I don't know how to do this
i need to sneeze
Ten inches is right here
and my hair is like down here
if I can't donate my hair, I'll just keep this ponytail somewhere
Keep it as a memory
i won't regret this
this is good for me.
Okay, well
i think this will be cute
i hope
I'm too aware of what I'm doing.
It's not 3 am. It's frickin 7 p.m
i can do this
No one's here to stop me
I need this I need to do this
why am i doing this
I'm scared
oh shoot that's what I was gonna do.
I was gonna straighten my hair. Dang it.
Okay. Well shoot, okay
I just remembered I'm going to straighten my hair so I can actually get the length
my hair is already kind of straight because my hair is so heavy
that it just all like falls apart
but my hair is usually
wavy/curly after a shower as you can see by these waves
I'm going to straighten my hair
it's been about probably a year and a half since I've straightened my hair
my hair's so-
i'm gonna miss you
It's too long though
well I'm gonna straighten my hair now
Oh god, I haven't straighten my hair in such a long time
in my senior year of high school
I straightened my hair almost every single day
If not every single day
and I don't know how I did that every single morning
But I went through a period of time where I just thought straight hair looked better on me
now see, when I straighten it, it's even longer than I thought
so I think this is a better method for me
because I don't want to cut too much hair off
There's a difference oh my god
do you see how long it is now?
I can't believe I did this every single morning
My hair is definitely a lot longer than it was when I was a senior in high school because
my hair did not go to my hips when it was straight
this is kind of relaxing
There was a time in middle school when I wanted a straight perm
Because I felt like I didn't really look Asian
I remember I wanted bangs like everyone else did
back in the day when bangs were cool
like the bangs that were on the side
I wanted that too
My dad cut my bangs
but because of my hair texture they ended up flying
so it didn't really look that great
And I remember there was a time when I was
i don't remember what age but it was definitely around middle school
that I had these little tiny baby hairs just flying everywhere
that I got so annoyed I cut them off
I was like, they won't be there if I cut it right to my scalp.
I didn't consider that the baby hairs would grow eventually
and so I had these little things sticking out of my head eventually
do not do that. Let your baby hairs grow. Let them shine. Let them fly away
I look like I traveled back to 2015. This is really weird
I'm only roughly straightening it because I don't really need it to be perfectly straight
what's the point
and now this is definitely a much more accurate way for me to cut ten inches off
My hair has gotten so long that it just gives me a headache
It constantly gets stuck in a lot of places.
It gets stuck under my arms
It gets stuck under my backpack straps.
It gets stuck in the car door
I literally get headaches from the hair that I keep yanking
and I have to constantly adjust my hair
You'll see me going like this a lot because I'm trying to pull my hair out
it was a real workout and I'm tired of it.
I just want my hair to be long but not super long
at first I was contemplating whether I should have short hair because
if i'm cutting my hair, why not give myself a bob or something
but then I thought with my face and with my personality,
I feel like long hair just fits well
my lifestyle also has a factor
I like tying my hair up
when I had really short hair I wasn't able to tie my hair up
I was able to tie some of it but some of it would fall out
I couldn't put my hair in a bun, I couldn't really do much with it.
I couldn't braid it.
It didn't fit my lifestyle. Everyone is different
But that is just what I like.
I feel like once it come ahjumma
I'm gonna have to have short hair one day
and since I already have curly hair, I'm already gonna have that ahjumma perm
Oh my god, this is what I did every morning?
Why did I do this to myself?
This is not going to be the most drastic cut.
I'm still keeping long hair
It's not gonna be as long as you guys are familiar with
I feel like I've had
Super long hair for such a long time that it's kind of become my personality
It is time to cut and this is still a lot of hair
I'm going to cut it at around 11 inches just to be safe
My hair is literally my wingspan as you can see
it doesn't even fit the frame
Okay, so I'm just going to cut it right above this ponytail
It's not gonna be that short nina, it's not going to be that short
I'm not very sure
but it's definitely easier to cut now that i've straightened it
Oh my god. This is happening.
It's not going to be that short.
i think
I keep measuring my hair. I'm so-
this is definitely ten inches. This will be fine.
omg I'm gonna regret this.
No I'm not, I can do this
mMmmm
Goodbye hair
This will be healthy for me.
I'm gonna
I'm shaking
well hair, It was a nice three years that I've gotten to be with you
We've been there a lot.
You know, we went through college together
I'm about to graduate
I guess I'll keep you till I graduate and then I'll send you off
You've been there with me through a lot
I just wanted to do this once before I cut my hair
my hair is so long I can do this
I look like a Teletubby
my hair is so long I can do this to myself
I'm gonna miss my hair
It's okay it'll grow out in like a year
because my hair is not super short
I actually have a picture of myself doing this in high school
Here I am, 21 years old, I'm going to cut my hair
let's do this
Here we go.
I'm not going to have long hair anymore.
This is it kids
I also want to thank you guys for being there for me when I had long hair
now I'm going to have medium long hair.
It's a new era. It's a new time in our lives.
Let's do it.
Let's get it
Ready?
bye bye
Oh my god
I'm doing it. Do you hear it?
oh no, am I doing it right?
I don't think I'm doing this right
omg I, this is so much for me right now
Well, I definitely cut it wrong
this is so weird
This is like 10 to 11 inches, this is great. This is fine
but this can get a little shorter
Is this how you do it? I've seen people kind of do like this
Honestly
There's no different
but there is definitely a difference in the back
So what I'm really concerned about is how short my hair is going to be when it's curly.
I think it looks decent straightened
It's really straight.
So I don't know, but I don't want to cut any more cuz I know it's going to be curly
That's weird.
Well my hair manages to stay in a ponytail, which is nice but kind of weird
Especially this
I don't know. I'm over it.
It's definitely not going to give me any neck aches anymore
I tried cutting this a little bit
but I don't want it to be too short
but overall, this is it
this is now my hair length
I'm going to take a shower and see what happens
I already forgot what I look like with long hair
this is my hair now
I did want to give you a closer angle of my hair
It's really not as intense as it seems
you know what, I needed this change.
I feel different, I feel free
So I shower at about 20 minutes ago
and my hair is pretty dry, it's still wet around here
it's not really wet, it's just damp
but this is my hair
I'm sure it's going to look less choppy as my hair dries more
but this is what it looks like
it's nice and short
Showering was way less work for me because I wasn't dealing with so much hair
I did shower with makeup
This is the final result
it's just my hair but shorter
I'm very happy about it
My hair is definitely curlier and it's just lighter and fluffier
I did trim some hairs just so it doesn't look like it's all the same length.
This is shorter. This is shorter
It's a new nina.
It's really not the biggest deal
but for me, I've lived with long hair for such a long time that this is very new to me
But thank you for watching this video and joining me on this experience.
But yea that is it for this video. I'm gonna go
Thank you for watching and I will see you next time
bring it in! :)
