hey guys
so i am making this video because i am chopping all of my hair off into a pixie cut
and i wanted to make this like a whole kind of transformation video i guess
so i wanted to make this whole intro to this video just kind of explaining like why i'm
cutting my hair my thoughts about it my anxieties just my feelings and just kind of like everything
in general honestly i feel like chopping your hair off is just like it's a big decision to make
and i was trying to look on youtube and just try to find other videos like this when i'm making
like people's before and afters why they're doing it and i found a couple but i couldn't
really find like a lot and i really thought there would be more pixie cut transformation videos out
there on the internet but there wasn't so here i am making my own so let's talk about my hair
and why i'm chopping it off so i kind of have a couple reasons why i want to get rid of my hair
the biggest one being is like i'm just sick of my hair like i'm just sick of having this amount
of hair i have naturally pretty wavy curly hair like a 2b i think that's pretty straight right now
because i ran a straightener through it earlier um and having curly wavy hair is just so much
work to deal with you know if you have a curly wavy hair you know exactly what i'm talking about
but it's like we can't just shower and brush our hair and let it air dry and go on with our day
like you just can't there are so many steps that go into making curly hair look good
and i'm just kind of over it and that doesn't mean i hate my natural hair
texture like i would have curly hair any day over straight hair like i love my hair texture
but i just want to switch it up and i have a lot of hair like my hair is thick it's about down to
there and i'm so over it that i wear it in a bun ninety percent of the time i almost never wear my
hair down because i always just want it out of my face i'm always doing a low bun a high bun just
i want it out of my way you know and like i've learned to always keep a scrunchie on me because
this is just so much to work with and i don't want to deal with it anymore and i remember
one day just being in the shower brushing my hair with conditioner in it as i do every time
i wash my hair and i was literally crying because my hair was like so tangled i was just so annoyed
with having to brush it and i was like i don't want to do this for the rest of my life and i've
always said like oh i'm going to chop my hair off you know just kind of like a jokingly way
when you're annoyed with your hair and then i was thinking like i i can do this like this is my hair
and my choice i can chop my hair off whenever i want to and i also want to add that this is
not an impulse decision i have thought about this for so long like i was scrolling back through my
pinterest and i have pinned short hair pixie cuts since like high school so i've always loved the
look of it i just never really thought i could pull it off i think it was a day i was crying
in the shower it was also during my period that was happening because i was like pmsing crying in
the shower and i went to my boyfriend and i was like i'm so sick of my hair i'm chopping it off
and then i was being like reasonable with myself like okay let's let's think about this before we
make any kind of appointment and so i waited a couple days kept thinking about it and i just i
could not stop thinking about cutting my hair off like i literally think about it every single day
of how freeing and i think excited i'll be to have short hair i've been thinking about doing
this seriously for about two months now so every single day i think about having short hair and how
just nice i think it'll be so yeah i just wanted to let you know that this is not an impulsive
decision so after i kept like thinking about it for so long i found someone on instagram to cut
my hair their name is eddie um they're in portland and they do really fun like fashion colors they
do lots of like mullets and shags and i want very textured pixie shaggy wavy messy looking because i
don't like nice looking hair like when i wear my hair down i'm always like tossing it and i just
want it to be big and so and they have short hair themselves and so i know they can do fun colors
i know they can do textured looks and they've done pixies before so i found them on instagram
and i had a book a consultation with them because they require that for new color clients and so
i was so nervous to book the consultation appointment but i booked it i met with them we
kind of talked about the plan for my hair and that was two weeks ago so ever since that appointment
i've just been waiting for the day i'm getting my hair cut i should mention i'm filming this
four days before i get it cut because i know if i try to film this like the day of
i would just be an anxious mess i mean i'm still anxious like talking about it but it's not like
the day it's happening you know the reason why i want to cut my hair off is that like i just don't
feel like myself anymore like i look in the mirror and i see this hair and it's like it's just not
doing anything for me and i should add that i hate the pink in my hair and this is like no
hate to my stylist who did it like i love her but i should not have done pink in my hair because i
hate warm toned hair on myself and i should have known that going into this because i have dyed
my hair purple blue a weird shade of green but every oh i've been blonde before i've been silver
i've been different shades of brown and every single time i get my hair done i ask for cool
tone brown cool tone blonde silver purple blue you know cool tone colors and there was one time
i don't remember what it was i had purple hair with pink hot roots and i hated the pink hot roots
so when i got this idea for pink hair i don't know why i didn't think about how i hate warm hair
myself i know some people love the pink and i love like the like the halo shape we did with
the pink how it's kind of like throughout here um but i just wish i didn't do pink so like
every time i see myself in the mirror i'm just like i don't like it i don't feel pretty and
so i just want to change it all completely honestly so you might be asking angela why don't
you just like cut your hair to chin length and yes i could do that the reason why i don't want to do
short hair is because i'm just going to be angry that i can't put it up into a ponytail and that
was my boyfriend's idea he's like just do it like to your chin and i was like no i think i want it
all off because if i'm frustrated that i can't put it up i'm just gonna hate my hair even more
but speaking of putting it up i wanted to add that i love the way my face looks
when my hair is about my face like i like to pull these ones down and like i feel so pretty like
this like i like how my face looks my jaw looks my this this that's why i think i'm gonna like
the pixie because i like how my face looks like this i know this is not gonna resemble a pixie cut
but this gives me an idea of how i think it'll look you know i'm also really excited to do
like cool makeup looks with short hair because i feel like your makeup is just going to pop more
when you have less hair you know can we just talk about like how bad my roots are right
now too it's been eight weeks since i've gotten my hair dyed and it's kind of my fault because
i was so nervous to make the first consultation for the hair appointment so i kept like putting it
off as one does and then the more i kept putting it off the more i was like well [ __ ] i can't dye
my hair and then there's no point of dying my hair now if i'm just gonna cut it all off so i've been
like dealing with this crazy root mess i've been like wearing headbands and like trying to braid it
different ways but part of the reason why i was so nervous to make the appointment is because
i felt like i had to get approval from the people around me the people that are close to me
and like tell them that i'm gonna cut my hair off right like cutting your hair off isn't even like a
permanent thing but why does it feel so permanent it's something you have to like warn people that
you're doing like i just got my sleeve finished a couple weeks ago and this is a permanent thing
but i didn't feel like i had to tell people i was doing it because i did it for me because i wanted
it on my body so why do i feel like i have to like tell people i'm doing this and explain why
i'm doing it it just doesn't make sense but i'm sure if you've gone through this or you are going
through cutting your hair off you can kind of relate to me i was having such a hard time finding
what kind of pixie cut i wanted like i said i've been thinking about this for two months and so
when i first got the idea and i was like i'm gonna do this i went on pinterest went on instagram
just searched up pixie cuts and there are so many types of pixie cuts out there i was like
how am i gonna find the one that i want and the hard thing for me too is i feel like a lot of
pixie cuts are done on like straight blonde hair and i don't have straight blonde hair so i'd have
to search like curly pixie cut wavy pixie cut i also looked up like androgynous and non-binary
pixie cuts and that was actually kind of more what i was wanting because i want that kind of like
messy i keep calling it the floof like i want to have some floof to be able to style
i have literally spent hours scrolling through pinterest and instagram trying to find what
i want and i think i have the right idea i'm so ready i'm so excited there are some moments where
i'm thinking about it and i'm like am i making the right decision and then i go back to my feelings
of just being sick of my hair and at the end of the day it's just hair hair grows back and so
if i hate it like yeah that's gonna be kind of shitty and i gotta grow it back but like
it grows back i can make it work like okay so that is all of my notes that i had written out of what
i wanted to say in this intro i'm gonna take this out again just to show you my hair so i'm sorry
if that was a lot of rambling my thoughts are all over the place i'm a little anxious but i'm
very very excited for this big change and to take you guys along with me oh color wise i don't want
a pink pixie obviously i actually want to go pretty close to my natural color and kind of
have that throughout and maybe like a lavender or lighter colored floof again i'm calling it floof
so i think i'm going to end the intro here which is very scary to me because that means that next
time i pick up my camera to film this it'll be the day of so i will see you the day of my pixie
cut and i'm going to try my best to film eddie said i could so i'll see you at the salon i guess
hi it is the day of the appointment i'm here already i'm 30 minutes early because i had
to drive from my house and boring all the way to portland so i'm here super early um
it's the day i'm so i'm really anxious honestly like all day yesterday i was like
doubting myself i'm like should i really do this am i gonna like it
and like i almost didn't want to do it but then just today i'm super excited i did my makeup all
pretty i got like this cute little dress on so i can't believe this is it and then i did
wash my hair for like the last time yesterday i was washing it in the shower and i was like
oh my gosh this is the last time i'm washing my crazy hair having to brush it and deal with it so
we're doing it this is such a big change but i think i'm ready for it let's go
sure
doing it do it just go for it yeah
so i'm just gonna quickly voice over this part mostly because i mean it was a long appointment
it was like an hour long and there was music playing in the background and i don't want to
get demonetized so here i am so pretty much we cut all the hair into a bob just to make it easier to
color and for color wise we didn't book enough time for this appointment which is honestly my
fault and my biggest thing was to get rid of the pink obviously so we just covered up the pink with
purple which i'm totally fine with i love having purple hair so we kind of have a plan to next
time work on the color more use like some color remover get rid of the darkness and go as close
as possible to my natural color all over so that's why you'll see my hair not really much different
just with purple in the front but honestly i'm totally fine with that and then pretty
much eddie just went around and chopped off all my hair and pieces i mean there's not really much
for me to say this isn't like a how to do a pixie cut video you know so yeah i just sat there i was
pretty nervous we talked about ways to style it we decided to go natural so any kind of scrunched up
my hair and then they did finger curls throughout my whole head which i've never done before because
i've always had so much hair to deal with that i thought finger curling would take forever but
it actually turned out super cute and i love the way my curls looked with the finger curls
so i might do that in the future so we finger curled like all the floof on top of my head
and then we diffused it did some scrunching and that was it that was my hair appointment oh my god
it looks so good on your curly hair
good i'm glad you like it
oh my god
thank you
what the [ __ ] holy
i don't even know what to feel right now guys like
what do i do with this
this is my hair okay can i just say how good it feels to have like nothing
touching me back here like oh feels so good on my neck and it's like hot out today
it's like in between a bob and a pixie and we did my natural curls as you guys saw
all right i thought i would just finish this video outside because it is so nice
out right now sorry if it's kind of noisy but here is what my hair looks like it has been
three or four days since i got it cut now and here it is i wanted to film this outro after having the
cut for a few days so i could like really get my final thoughts together and how i feel about it
my overall thoughts is that i love that i cut it short i can't tell you how good it feels to have
no hair like touching my neck and my shoulders like it feels like my hair is like up all the time
i just have to deal with kind of this floof right here i do think i wish we cut it a little
bit shorter our appointment i wish i booked more time for the appointment because their next client
was already there like as we were finishing up so there wasn't much time to do any finishing touches
but sometimes i feel like it's a little too bob like for me and not as pixie cut and like
if i wear my hair like this in the middle which i try not to do
i feel kind of like little lad lord farquaad vibes so i'm always trying to like toss my
hair to one side um it kind of just alternates back and forth because i like my hair to be
pretty messy looking so i think what i want to do next time is cut it shorter and maybe do
more of an undercut around here like i would like a little bit more of my ears to show
and just a little less of a bob but i love that it's short it is so freaking easy to work with
like like my morning routine is so easy now i can get my hair wet in the shower every day and either
let it air dry diffuse it blow dry it smooth today i just let it air dry and like every day i'm
kind of playing around with a different uh like mixture of products using a curl gel or a cream
or an oil and just doing different things with it so it's really fun to play with it i think that's
all kind of part of getting a new haircut like i was saying i want my hair shorter but it's because
i don't know what style i like best and that's the same thing with long hair you know you get
your hair long and you find the right style that works for you so i think i'm still trying to find
it like i'm not in love with it but i do love that it's shorter and just so easy to work with
so i think that is going to wrap up this video and that was my short pixie haircut transformation so
i'm so excited to start doing some like hair styling videos maybe like products that are
good for short hair kind of videos and just play around with it i freaking love it so i hope you
