I never should have cut my long hair... apparently.

I never should have cut my long hair... apparently. Honestly, I have zero regrets and love my new short hair. I wanted to do a deep dive as to why we, as women, are so attached to our long hair. I don't care if people think my long hair is more "beautiful". It's not my job to please people's eyeballs :)

SIKE lol I have zero regrets and love my new short hair. I just wanted to do a deep dive as to why we, as women, are so attached to our long hair. This is not to say that we are not allowed to like long hair. But to analyze why some people become hostile when someone else cuts their hair. Enjoy!

HOW DO PEOPLE HAVE SO MUCH TIME THAT THEY CAN HATE ON SOMEONE GETTING A HAIRCUT ON THE INTERNET LIKE I HAVEN’T HAD THE TIME TO CLEAN MY KITCHEN SINCE LIKE 2012

The negativity aside, I can't get over how beautiful this hairstyle looks. It looks absolutely amazing and makes me want to cut my hair again.

“Who cares, it’s not my job to be pretty”… Let em know girl.

“People would KILL to have your curly hair!”
Yeah… that’s why she donated it to those who NEED it.
WHAT IS NOT CLICKING FOR THESE PEOPLE. A HAIRCUT IS NORMAL💀💀

'It's not my job to be pleasing to other people's eyeballs!'

YES PENNY GO PENNY! CONFIDENCE IS BEAUTY

[xmarss]

Why everyone is ignoring the fact that she donated her hair?!
As long as she’s happy with it, she will always look beautiful.

They really don’t realize how high maintenance long hair is, ESPECIALLY long curly hair!! That is NOT easy. My hair is around the length yours used to be and I honestly contemplate chopping it off sometimes too. Another thing that isn’t easy is that people always compliment my hair NOT me. So imagine how I felt as young girl growing up with people just complimenting the beauty of my hair and not me myself. Recently I cut bangs though, and that was VERY empowering 😊.

I cut 20 inches off recently. I was enjoying my new look until my people started saying the exact same hateful things to me... I NEEDED this video today

*_"the final reason... because it's my hair, because it's what I wanted to do"_*

YEEEES PENNY! 👏🏼 YES! 👏🏼

[thatoneguyfromthatoneplace]

As a guy with very long hair, it pisses me off when people say I have to cut it off. Its my hair and I can do what I want with it. The same goes for you or anyone. Do what YOU want. Power to you

Short curly hair + simple eye look + red lips + white clothes = my dream aesthetic

[nataliezuniga]

I'm sitting here with a mustache, leg hair bout 2 inches long, and a unibrow. Peniel, you and your sister Salem have sincerely taught me many lessons about loving myself and my Hispanic features. You should be proud of yourself for setting an example of self prioritization and self love. Hateful commentors haven't watch a deep thoughts deep condition video and it ~shows. Much love 💛✊🏽

[galatea]

I feel so sad for the girl who puts all of her value and self-worth into the hands of men and what they "like" about a woman. Very sad.

[misbahailia]

She looked like a mermaid with long hair. Now she looks like a fairy. 💖

“It’s not my job to be pleasing to other people’s eyeballs” preach sis

[OldTinLizzy]

When you said "It is not my job to be pretty" I literally pumped my fist in the air and said "YESSS PENNY!" Preach it, girl. P.S. I love your new haircut.

[jessieupton]

Shouldn’t we be celebrating how liberated and happy someone else is? Building them up! Sharing in that joy. Penny, you are incredible! Because you are you!

[orangesundaes]

I dont know but I had hair below my butt and went for a pixie cut at home because I was just so frustrated with it. With the tangles, with how painful it was when you tug on it while you are sleeping, how it got caught on everything, the hours spent to maintain it, and especially the attachment I had to it. When I cut it, it was one of the best feelings I've ever had - I felt like I melted off dead weight off my shoulders as cliche as it sounds. Showers are now so much more satisfying; I can run my fingers through my scalp with shampoo so quickly and easily and it feels so good. Drying is even quicker. I no longer value myself based upon the length of my hair. It also brings out some features I had on my face that I didn't know I adored. If you feel like you want a haircut, go for it ladies! Hair will absolutely grow back even if it takes time. It will make you feel a sort of peace and give you a new change to your routine! Challenge yourself to try new styles with a new haircut! Have fun and good luck.
