I like it better that I'm not looking at myself.
When I look at myself getting my hair cut, I'm like, "Dang".
Hey, my name is Naree, and this is Hair Me Out.
Today I will be dying my hair to a pastel pink and getting it cut to a short bob.
Before we get into the transformation, don't forget to subscribe below.
So, for the past few years I've been the performance industry doing theater, music theater, everything
on a stage, and changing my hair color or getting it cut was seen as a huge, huge career
change regarding the roles you'll play or how you're seen on stage, and it's really
looked down upon.
I've decided to take a step back from the performance industry and because of that I
just feel like I can do whatever I want with my hair, and it's really exciting.
In high school, I played around with dyeing my hair a darker brown, and I didn't really
feel like it was me...
But, I've been highlighting it for the past three years or so, and over the summer, I
played around with dip-dyeing my ends pink, and I really, really liked it.
That change was just the start and the spark that started this whole transition.
Hi!
We're gonna cut a little bit today?
We are.
Alright.
So, a nice, fluffy bob.
I don't know if "fluffy" is the word...
Let's do this!
Let's do it!
The short bob is a very carefree hairstyle in my opinion.
I'm excited to just kind of let it be and not have it be in my face, and not have to
put it back and have it be so easy, and I don't have to mess with it.
Thank you so much!
Now, now let's have some fun with color!
Let's have some fun!
Here we go!
Get comfortable 'cause it takes a second.
So, my hair, to me, expresses a lot of personality,
and especially because I've never done a drastic change
and I feel like I am going through a career assessment,
a life assessment, if you will...
I definitely think it's time for my hair to reflect that as well.
I think I've been doing it in my appearance, with my clothes.
I've been trying out more risky fashion trends, and I'm ready for my hair to reflect that
pep in my step and change as well.
I am nervous.
Besides highlights, I've never bleached it or done a permanent full color.
Of course I'm nervous that I'm going to be like, "Oh,
I don't know if this is exactly what I wanted."
But your hair, you can change it whenever you want.
It's always going to grow back.
You can always change it to something you know you love.
You always have that option.
My friends and colleagues that are still performing and doing theater,
I have a feeling that they'll
see the hair and immediately say like, "Well, what are you going to do about auditions?
What are you going to do when a casting director sees your hair?
What's going to be the outcome of this?"
I know that everyone's going to question it because of that reason.
And to that, I say like, "I'm just going through a change.
It's reflecting in my appearance.
I'm really happy about the change.
And I like the unexpected, it's exciting."
You look gorgeous!
Yaaaay!
Thank you, Molly!
Thank you, Leo!
Yay!
For real, though, this looks so...
I'm so happy.
I have never seen my hair like this.
The color is so great.
And just with this short cut, it feels really healthy.
It fits my character and this new me.
I wish I had done this sooner, but in retrospect,
I'm just so happy that I'm in a place in my
life that I was able to do this right now.
I'm really excited to play around with it and
just show everyone my bold, new look!
