- I am going to be trying different short hairstyles
over the course of a week.
My hair is so important to me, it's like basically
a security blanket that grows out of my head.
I always have admired short hairstyles,
I think they're really cool, but I don't think they're cool
on me and I've been told repeatedly I have a round face,
I cannot do short hair.
I think I've had long hair for a long time
and I'm very curious to see whether or not
that's actually the best thing for my face.
Okay. - Okay.
- Let's try some short hair.
I'm very worried.
I don't know what this looks like.
Oh my god.
Oh my god, I have never had hair like this before.
I look like the fat best friend in a rom com.
I'd be so good at opening my own feminist bookstore.
I cannot get over this hair.
I keep going from mirror to mirror,
being like, "What doe sit look like here, and also here?"
- What?
Are you a bob lady now?
- Yes yes yes yes yes yes yes yes!
Oh, I told you you'd look good with short hair!
Told you!
- I like it! - You look very pretty.
- It looks real good on you.
- I feel like wigs are better at being hair than hair is
This is like the green beret of hair.
I would never get this much volume in real life.
- I love that color, that color warms you up so much.
- Alright, end of day one, pretty successful.
Do you like it? - What is going on?
- It's very different. - It feels too short.
I know this look is supposed to be like early 2000s
Sarah Jessica Parker, and if you ignore my face, it is.
I feel like there's two commas around my head.
Like my face is in quotation marks.
- Yes!
These fucking wigs!
- When you have less hair, every piece of it matters
much more, like if one little part of this is out of place,
the whole Jenga tower comes down, it's like I do this,
and I don't know, this is gonna take me,
I don't even know, whatever, fuck it.
- [Woman] What do you think about Kristen?
- You look older. - You look southern.
- Someone just said, "Hey you look different today,"
what's wrong with you?
This hairstyle is interesting.
- So we're on bob three?
- [Kristen] What do you think of my hair?
- Oh wow, I don't know if I like this one.
- Got these weird little side pieces.
I kinda look like a sassy Civil War general.
- So this is more of like an A-line bob,
got some stacked layers in the back.
- But I don't, I like it.
- It's definitely drawing lots of attention to here,
when I don't want that.
The bangs are nice though, I like the bangs.
- But it looks cute, I think this actually might be
my favorite one. - What!
- This hair is very Katie Holmes around her Tom Cruise era
and she makes this look very glamorous,
so it's not like this haircut doesn't have a good head home
if it wants one, it's just that my body is probably
not the neighborhood this haircut should move into.
- Kristen, grab the mirror. - I have the mirror,
I haven't seen myself yet.
Here we go, ready?
What!
I'm like on the run from myself.
I'm Becky.
(laughs)
Look like someone who will cut you
because I've already cut something, not afraid to cut you.
- [Woman] Alright guys, what do you think of this one?
- No, I don't like it, I'm sorry.
- It's okay!
- Oh.
- God, man oh man, that is just, the angle there.
- I really like this a lot.
I feel like the length works for you.
- Oh my god, what a cut.
- I think there are nice things about this,
I just don't know if this is the shape for me.
I asked me fiance what he thought of my hair
and he replied, "Sure."
Same, buddy.
- Here you go. - Okay, we're ready.
- Grab the mirror. - Okay.
(laughs)
This is full mom, I'm complete now.
- This is the last wig, is there anything about this
that you like? - I don't know, man.
When I inevitably turn 40, I should not do this haircut.
I look Snape's middle-aged mother.
She's very mad at him because he hasn't gotten married yet.
What do you guys think?
- Oooh. - It's cute.
- Yeah, I love it. - I'm sorry.
- It's getting to the point where I just hope I don't see
anyone I know so I don't have to talk about my hair.
I was born looking like this.
- Oh my god.
- Minus the lipstick and the glasses, but I was basically,
this is what I looked like when I was born.
It was the best of times, it was the bobst of times.
As soon as I put the short hair on my head,
it changed my whole face.
I didn't realize how many different kinds
of short hairstyles there were, I know that sounds dumb.
You think short hairstyle, you just think like,
this short, the end, but like actually,
there's the long bob and there's bangs
and then there's the '90s cut.
It was like an Instagram filter but much more expensive.
People reacted to my hair a lot harder than I did.
I think I thought that no short hairstyles worked for me
but actually some do, some still do not, and that's okay.
Not every hairstyle works for every person.
I think that you should try new hairstyles, just try them.
You're gonna look back on it, and be like,
Wow, I was so hip and cool, because you were.
- So Christie missed my last day of short hair,
I wanted to show her what it looked like.
- Am I just gonna look at this photo of you?
- Yes, yes, here it is.
- Oh no.
It's so stupid.
Why does it have a center part?
