Oh....
My hair!
What's good, cuppies?
It's Maleea
And I'm Jae.
And today we're going to be cutting all my hair off...
*internal sccreaming*
I'm a little nervous..
So why? Why? Yeah, okay let me give you a little story.
So I've been thinking about cutting my hair as in big chop for about a year now and I was always afraid
to do it or "oh maybe I'll do it next time" or you know, kept giving excuses.
And then I decided about a month ago that I'm gonna go ahead and cut my hair.
I decided that I was gonna cut my hair either around my birthday or at the New Year
I had also been talking about coloring my hair. So, as you can see, my hair is not the color it usually is
because I went to go get it done. And I told myself that if I liked the color
like if I liked the the job that was done then I would keep my hair until the New Year.
So around, December/ January and then I'll cut it.
So, you didn't like the color? No, I don't like the color. And let me tell you why
So my hair had a really hard time taking the bleach actually
like it just wouldn't color at all and so my hair is kind of like
spotty and blotchy so you can see that like this part is pretty red up here.
I wanted it to be like this color but inside and in the back my hair is like a chestnut like chestnut/auburn
And it doesn't really look the way I wanted it to look and it's also not consistent.
So I decided that I'm just gonna- I'm gonna cut it.
When I see it, like this part, it looks okay
But like it doesn't look even. It doesn't look like professional.
I don't want to blame the hair artist but whatever.. it's the result. We don't like it.
Luckily for me I was okay with it not coming out too good because I knew I was gonna cut my hair anyway.
It's just a matter of how soon I was gonna cut my hair.
I dunno know... like I'm gonna do it of course but
you know like it's my hair..??!!?!?!
The reason why I want to cut it is I want to try and like move away from
my hair being the focus of me.
Especially now that the natural hair movement is in like full effect,
many girls feel like the hair is the thing, right?
As in your beauty is dictated by your hair
and i want to see what i look like without having all of my hair. You know what I mean?
I feel like I don't really pay attention to my own features like Jae tells me all the time that he loves my eyes
and I was like "excuse me"? and I could never understand. I was like..why? Like what's so different about my eyes?
Even my mom told like "oh you have one million dollars eyes"
And I was like "excuse me"?
Also I want to see how I can regrow my hair within like a year or so.
So not only just chopping it seeing how it goes but also
can i take those steps and actually like regrow my hair as well as it is now.
So yeah, it'll be like a little journey but I'm ready to just go ahead!
Today, I'm barber Jae or am I Chopper Jae?
Oh, I'm gonna have no hair in a minute. Let me shoot
Just cut it?/ Yeah, just cut it!
It's gonna be so weird... even when I went natural I didn't
cut my hair I just let it transition out. So I've always had like enough hair I guess
Wait wait you just can't just cut!
No I'm just- I'm just touching it! I'm not gonna cut it.
Just cut it right here?/ Why are you holding my hair like "all right" *menacingly*
Right here?
What if it doesn't... what if it doesn't look good? I gotta buy a wig.
If you want to abort, it's the last chance.
I'm gonna cut it./ Okay.
Just cut it! Stop with the tricks!
Oh... why am I sad?
Why ARE you sad?
Oh my god..
It's gone...
Oh I can't run my fingers through it..
Go?/ Yeah, just go.
Why does the cut take so long...?
Oh my god...
Yo, I look crazy right now though!
My hair looks crazy!
It's gone!
Since my hair is clearly not done
let's wet it and get it curly so that we can style it.
Look, show show them!
oh
My hair!
Okay, let's wet it and let's see. Let's cut more~
Maybe I should put product in it to curl it..
It doesn't look bad.. even now. You look cute as always~
Thanks for the support~
By the way, I don't know if I'm doing this right..
I'm just kinda... doing what feels right..
I am putting some Argan oil style and shine foaming mousse.
I'm using this just to like bring out my curls a little bit so can see a little bit better where else I want to cut
because I want to make sure it's nice and even.
First, let's cut the front to make it match the back
and then we can start cutting some more./ Like here..
Yo... I have no hair.
So how do you feel [about] cutting my hair?
It's fun! But you know, I was worried.
but even now it's cute. Like look...
You're cute! But it's gonna be cuter when you when we cut more and even.
I can see your round head shape which is my favorite part.
Forehead.. It's so cute! It's so cute!!
I mean it. Like one of my favorite part for Maleea is like the eyes
and forehead this it's too cute. You guys just like look
look at this like perfect round [shape]. I've never had that as a compliment before!
Yep.
Still not done.. but getting there.
Hold the bucket~
Oh yeah.. so how do you feel about me cutting my hair your?
Your hair is going to be shorter than mine
And i'm glad that you are in a short hair club.
Really?/Yeah, because you know it saves so much time.
When you wash it, you know, you don't have to dry. You can wash it more often.
I probably won't wash it as often but it will hopefully, I don't know, hopefully take me less time to style it.
It will. Isn't it low maintenance?/ A little bit.
Now I'm just gonna cut it for like perfect shape.
Now he's barber Jae. He went from chopper to barber!
The process.
What do you think?
Oh... look at them edges! It's the most important part!
And it's not 100% you know like I just put a little bit of styling in it so that we can [get] close but it would be curlier.
I think at the end of the day if anyone else is thinking about doing their big chop..
It's just hair. It's gonna grow back.
Not even. It's cute! I don't- it doesn't have to be grow. It's cute already.
Yeah, I think I'm pretty satisfied with my hair right now.
We did a lot of cutting a lot of cutting. How long did it take?
Not that long.. like an hour?/ It felt like forever.
And a lot of hair. It's full of hair./ Yes, it's all my hair.
What's this?/ What is this? What is this?/ You made that./ Oh-
I love it./ You love it? Yeah, I think it-
I was a little worried about the result but it's cuter than I thought. Like imagined.
Because you have beautiful head shape and forehead and backhand.
My whole head~/ Your whole head~
I really like it.
I appreciate your support.
It's not even.. I really... I'm not saying! I'm not just saying..
I'm not doubting that you- Jae is not a liar.
Yeah, I'm not a liar.
If it's like kinda not good, I would say it.
But it's out of ten... nine./ Why nine?
Uh, a little not perfectly even. The color..
Yeah but that's not my fault!/ That's not the chopping part. Yeah, but chopping is good.
But maybe you can more style it later.
I did like a quick style so that we can go ahead and shoot but..
iI you want me to document my journey and share with you guys...please, let me know.
Because I'm gonna do it regardless but if you're interested in seeing then i'll go ahead and try to upload videos about it.
So if you're interested please comment "do it"~
Let's see where my hair is in approximately a year!
All right we're out! See you later~
