I am waiting for this channel to do a vid on women who let their hair go gray. I am tired of people asking me how come I don't dye my hair. There is a freedom in that too. 😑

how is "pretty for a black girl" still a thing? That's so damn obnoxious

I shaved my hair about a month ago. Although my boyfriend stopped talking to me I am kind of happy with it.

I shaved my head three days ago and hearing these women made me feel so free for having done that. I already got some negative feedback from my family, my very much loved grandma said she was disappointed in me, which I couldn't resonate with and it made me so upset I cried. But it served as a lesson about me standing up for who I am and for what I decide to do with my body, and if someone wants to believe that that means I have a flawed character, so be it, they're not worth the trouble.

Funny how society cant understand women shaving their hair off and see it as a sign of emotional instability. I live in a traditional and conservative town and im the only girl with a short pixie cut. (Technically 1.5 inch buzz) I like being unique and though the weird stares are uncomfortable at times. I have fun imagining what is going on in their heads. Its fun making others uncomfortable just cause of my simple looks.

I have real short hair already. I've always wanted to shave it, and after this; I'm going to. Probably today. Thanks.

i feel like why do women need to explain everything they do to their selves in society I mean men dont do that why do we need to right?

[iwqiwqnom]

I had this obsession with getting a pixie cut & now I wanna shave my hair cause why not?

I shaved my head yesterday and I've never loved myself as much as I do rn and my mom wont even look at me but I realized if you dont think I'm beautiful that's not my problem 🤷‍♀️... everyone is beautiful keep your head up ❤

The girl in the rainbow shirt with the nose ring is honestly so beautiful I'm crying

When I was 14 this video inspired me to shave my head I'm now 19 and still haven't grown my hair out it's liberating and I've never felt more like my true self

[WHITNEYMADUEKE.]

Related to each one of them. It's truly empowering, a confidence booster and it's just a great experience. I felt even better about myself; and still do after cutting my hair.

I shaved my head 4 weeks ago. At first I was too scared/ anxious about people's reactions. But now I really feel like I don't care as much anymore about people's thoughts on my appearance. It was freeing.

If you want to shave your head but are too scared: this is your sign. I am. Your sign. Do it, it will free u

I just shaved my head two days ago!! No

[donkeykickpunch]

I relied too much on my hair and I shaved it off for the first time last year in March and again this year two months ago. Shaving my head was the best thing I've ever done. It made me more confident. So many people think short hair isn't feminine or cute but I really love the look.

I really do feel more people should give this a shot at some point in their lives because it's wonderful no longer feeling a strong attachment to hair. It's wonderful to no longer depend on hair.

I highly recommend it for anyone contemplating it.

[tegan]

I'm proud of anyone who does this

[eleanores]

I've shaved my head many times and this is still inspiring. For anyone else who does this, YOU GO

[hammythehamster]

Shaved my head a week or two ago and if anyone is trying to decide whether or not to shave their own head... do it. It’s so freeing and honestly such a confidence boost.

[Thecodexnoir]

No more princess mentality. I'm not waiting for a 'prince' to save me and my hair does NOT define me.
I my short hair 👑
