    Cutting my hair (just above shoulder length) was the best thing I ever did for my look. I'm lazy and don't spend time styling my hair, never have, but my hair is fine, flat, and a little wavy naturally. With less weight on the ends my hair has so much more natural volume and I can just scrunch it up without it getting tangled to give it more texture. Just thought I'd mention as a counter point in case anyone is put off by this video, I don't find short hair any more difficult than long hair.

      If you cut it of it will grow back if you don't like your short hair. Just do it. It's not life changing.. I donated 30 centimeters twice in 4 years. I like my hair as a Bob but also when it is long. A Bob is so much easier for me. I just blow it out and it is good to go.

    I went from long to pixie cut on a whim after a stylist convinced me it would suit me perfectly. I regretted it immediately and every day since. I'm still working on growing it back out 18 months later. Everyone told me the pixie looked cute, but I never felt like "myself." And that's really important. You've gotta feel comfortable first and foremost.

    • @UnderdarkDrow_
      @UnderdarkDrow_ Před 7 lety +64

      Ellen W your story intrigues me, it's amazing how experiences differ :D in my case, I went out on a whim and decided to cut my hair in a short pixie after years of having waist-long hair. I absolutely loved it! I felt free and prettier than ever, I loved myself when I looked at the mirror. now, a year later after trimming it every two months, I got a buzzcut at home. i'm ready to try to have long hair again, but mostly to start over from zero and enjoy all the pixie lengths on the way :D
      I say every girl should get a pixie or buzzcut at least once in their lives, just to experiment :)
      hang in there, tho. you'll have your amazing long hair soon!

      @UnderdarkDrow_ Před 7 lety +44

      Scarlett Milson just to get the experience :) there are many girls i've known in my travels that always ask themselves "what if..?" best way to find out is to just do it c:
      dont be so sour, i'm sure you have very fine features, regardless of how your hair is. We dont (or shouldn't, I should say, so I dont offend you) need to depend on hair to feel pretty or girly.. and if you end up hating short hair, it's just hair. it'll grow back.
      it's more important to me a fond smile, eyes that light up whenever you talk about the things you love ,what fills you with passion.

While I was relieved to have hair that was less orange, I immediately regretted cutting it to slightly past chin length. I love wearing my hair in a braid/braids and buns when it's long. It's past shoulder now but still soooo short so I can only just barely braid it. 😔

    I'm planning on cutting my hair, but honestly, I don't think these videos are necessary. First of all: hair grows back. If you don't like it, you won't die. Second: Face and body shape? Should that prevent you from having a certain hairstyle just because you have the "wrong" shapes? Also, I always tie my hair up because I hate it down, but if I'd go for a pixiecut, I wouldn't have a problem, so why minimum shoulder length? Anyway, this video can certainly help for some people, but I think it's ridiculous that there are rules for cutting your hair;;

      I agree! When my hair was down to the middle of my back all I had to do was blow dry and do a quick pass with my flat iron. Now with it short I have to flat iron in sections because the wave in my hair is prominent since there isn't any weight to it. Even if I use a diffuser it takes forever to get some good curls/waves to come through because I have an ugly wave pattern. It's so frustrating. I won't ever cut it as short as I did (very short bob up to my chin and shaved in the back). Thank God it's growing back!

    I'm very petite, 4'10 1/2 and about 90 pounds. I have belly button length hair that's naturally thick, dead straight and it's not dyed, so it's very healthy. Everyone is obsessed with my hair and say it's my "thing" - I've become very attached to my hair because of all of the comments and compliments I get about it, but sometimes it feels like SO much hair and I just want a change. I have no idea what I would do, what would suit me, etc. I'm blind so I cannot see myself or make my own decisions / form my own opinions on my looks, which makes things even more difficult. AH, what to do?!

    • @melissalomeli7726
      @melissalomeli7726 Před 7 lety +104

      Molly Burke cut a little bit at first, if it's belly button length then cut it to around boob length or add some layers and let the shortest layer be around boob length and either of those will give you a new look without it being too drastic :) I would def go with the layers so that you can have the length while adding some texture!

      cut it. i'm 5ft3 and up until a few months ago I had hair down past my bum. It was driving me crazy and dwarfing me . I didn't even realise how silly it looked until I was looking at holiday photos, and there was picture of me from behind in a bikini and all you could see was my hair covering my back and bum and then my little legs. I cut my hair just past my shoulders and it was the best thing I have ever done.

    • @daniiobregon
      @daniiobregon Před 6 lety +7

      Molly Burke from the pictures in your channel I would saw a long Bob is the safe way to go. Not the type of Bob that the back is waaay shorter than the front. A bob with the layers not going so down, and side swept bangs ( not too short but just a tad bit shorter that the longest hair in the front) from then on you will see if short hair is your thing and you can go shorter and shorter. I myself went through the same process and I'm on my way to getting a long pixie cut. Oh and I'm 5'2

    Pixie cut here. My hair is naturally straight:
    1. If you wear your hair in a basic ponytail, and considering cutting it in a pixie, totally disregard "I can't do it because I need to put my hair in a pony.
    2. For thick hair, a good stylist will thin it out so it doesn't poof
    3. A pixie is wash and go. Or "stick head under a tap and go."
    4. Consider the following: with short hair, even if it is a nightmare to style, you'll never have a dreadlock forming in the back of your hair (this happened to me)

    • @tiffanyzhu9587
      @tiffanyzhu9587 Před 4 lety +2

      Lol yes. A pixie cut is so easy to maintain if you have straight or wavy hair. You don’t even need to blow dry it unless your hair is seriously thick and you don’t have time. I would cut it like that again but the one downside is you don’t get to do much with your hair.

    i can see how a lot of the tips are super helpful here (esp coming from a pro hairstylist's perspective), but regarding if the haircut will match your body shape, face shape, from all angles, etc: it's just hair! it will grow back if you don't like it! life is too short not to try out that style you really crave, just because there's a slim chance that it might not "match" appearance-wise. 😊

One day I said screw it & I cut my hair up to my shoulders, got tons of layers all around the perimeter of my head, side bangs and a side undercut. i've never loved my hair better!!!!!! even if people still tell me I don't look as attractive, especially coming from other guys, I just shrug it off because I'm super happy with my hair now.

  • @accordingtoyoutubestatisti687

    This is an extremely late comment but I’ve been growing my hair out for about fifteen years so it’s pretty long. Almost every compliment I’ve ever received has been about how beautiful my hair was, and my boyfriend (now ex-boyfriend) always made comments on how he loved my long hair. A month ago I decided I was sick of my hair and didn’t want it so lengthy. I told my parents that I wanted to cut it but they did not allow me to do so because my hair was fine the way it was. I told them that having shorter hair would allow me to express my identity more, but they still denied it. A week ago, I went to my friend’s house and her older sister who was a hairstylist chopped it off for me. I returned home the next day and my mother only talked about how much she missed my long hair, and my boyfriend didn’t love my current hair like I did. He bitched about it constantly and I broke up with him because he should have loved every part of me, and I realized a few weeks before that I didn’t think I was into men. Even then, I’ve been getting positive comments from my classmates from my hair and sexuality (I came out as gay soon after) I don’t regret it in the slightest ☺️☺️

    But then puberty hit and the texture of my hair changed to really frizzy curls. Now my hair is super long because I can't style my curls and I just tie them up and because it's so heavy it weighs my roots down and makes them look kind of less straight.

I decided to cut it anyways and I couldn't be happier. I went from having hair all the way down to my hips to having my hair cut just above my shoulders. I love my hair so much, so my advice to anyone wanting to cut their hair to just go for it. You should do what ever makes you happy. 😊

      actually it was 4 years, i did a bob in 2011 and the last time that i cut my hair professionally was in august 2012, since than i didnt cut my hair professionally, 2-3 i trimmed it a little bit (1 cm ) at home (when i really had bad split ends)
      my best tip is just not to cut the hair, that's all, everytime someone told me that i need to trim my ends i just didnt listen and if i was listening to people i was still stuck in bob haircut -_-
      beside that i also trying to wash my hair as less that i can, at first i was washing every single day and today i wash it once in a week (it took time for the scalp to get use to it)
      that's it, people just stuck on the mindset that cutting split ends is crucial and that ok, i respect others opinions, i just doing my own thing and it gave me results.
      also i dont use heat on the hair daily, i use a curling iron once in a week or two.
      also i do oil treatments in the day that i need to wash the hair and once in a month i do a gelatin treatment that is giving to the hair proteins that it needs.
      i hope it was useful for you, thanks for the question maybe i will do a video about it sometime so thank you

I love being able to throw it in a braid and letting that style my hair. Even though I hated it last time I was considering cutting my hair again but you just reminded me why I shouldn't. THANK YOU!

    #3... I've had everything from a pixie, to an undercut with a guy's top cut, to a jaw-length wedge - the trick to short hair without styling is to shower in the morning and let it dry natural and ruffle with your hands. Works for *most hair types and ditches the behead endemic to shorter cuts without the damage blow-drying can cause. (by all means, if your hair takes hours on end to dry I'm not saying stop blow drying, just for many it may not be a necessary step.) :)
    Really, saying short cuts look bad or even less good without styling is just plain false.
    Best tip: know your hair and accept it for what it is. Kind of a Zen approach, but it can work wonders for stress levels. ^_^

    This is absolutely ridiculous. I had waist length hair and when I got pregnant. A medical condition got really bad when I was pregnant and I couldn't do anything with my left hand/arm so I decided to chop off my hair as it was driving me nuts. I have super fine hair that is absolutely stick straight. I will never grow my hair out again and I've only gone shorter than the previous cut. I get so, so many complements now about my hair. People who haven't seen me since I cut it tell me they are amazed at the change and it suits me so well. If you want to cut your hair, cut it. You said "this might make you want to cut your hair!" Then spend 7 minutes saying how awful short hair is. I use a simple headband instead of putting my hair up now if I need my hair off my face completely. The beautiful thing now is with my pixie I don't ever have to worry about hair in my face or on my neck. Because of videos like this one I always wanted short hair but was afraid to cut it. I was afraid I wouldn't like it and it would be hell to upkeep. It's just hair, ladies! It'll grow back. You have to live with your hair so don't let others talk you out of a damn haircut. My best friend is a beautiful bottle blonde who wanted to go dark and her hairdresser talked her out of it. She finally went back in and demanded the hair she went in for and she loves her dark hair. Yes, listen to your stylist but don't let them make a decision for you.

    • @carolsharma1310
      @carolsharma1310 Před 7 lety +34

      TheAnnie Canvas - Elle wasn't saying not to cut your hair. That's definitely not the message she was trying to put out there. She just wanted to let people know that with such a drastic change like going from very long hair to very short hair, that you should sort of test the waters so to speak, by pinning your hair up to the length that you're thinking of cutting it to, and looking and seeing if you like the outcome. Maybe even buy a inexpensive wig in the length/ style first and see if that cut/length/ style is really for you before committing to the real deal. As professional stylists, i know that i myself, and I'm sure that Elle, have had many clients come in begging for these drastic cuts, against our advice and our better judgement, but when a client insists, you ultimately want to make the client happy. I myself can say that 8 out of 10 times, the client has ultimately regretted making such a drastic change, and wished she had listened to me. Unfortunately, in these circumstances, you can always cut more, but you can never put it back. I try to tell my clients to go slowly at first, just to get used to the change. Then, if they want more cut off, they can always come back in and do that, but if they cut it all off at once and regret it, it's too late. I hope that i helped you understand Elle's and even my point of view, being a stylist and a Cosmetology Instructor. I'm really glad that you had a wonderful experience with your cut! i wish everyone's was that great!

    • @LilAnnThrax
      @LilAnnThrax Před 7 lety +9

      I understand what she was trying to express. I understand the point she was _trying_ to make. I get that chopping your hair is a big step. I was probably a bit defensive in my original comment. I understand that professional stylists know a lot. I have had the same stylist for 10 yrs and listen to her opinion. The reason I dislike this is the way it is presented. If I had just decided to cut my hair and I watched this I'd be too scared to try it. She makes it seam like cutting your hair is _such_ a big deal. I'd wanted to try short hair forever and everyone kept warning me of the same things presented here. They kept scaring me off. I have a very round face and was told that wasn't good for short hair. So for 10 years I wanted to cut it but didn't. When I finally did I wish I hadn't listened to all the fear mongering.

    • @LilAnnThrax
      @LilAnnThrax Před 7 lety +7

      The reason I mentioned having very fine very straight hair was that others told me that wouldn't be good for short hair. I'd have to style it daily and I could never just was and go which is what I like to do. I can't use my left hand so straighteners, curling irons, blow dryers are almost impossible for me to use. I was told short hair would never work for me. I wish I'd had someone tell me "just go for it! It's just hair. It grows back." Since adopting this motto I've loved everything I've tried with my hair including a drastic undercut.

    I'm old compared to most of you. I learned long ago to stop fighting the naturalness of my hair and go with what my hair did best. It's simpler, my hair looks better and is healthier, and I get more compliments now that I cut my own to allow the natural curls to do their thing. Years of fighting the curls, humidity in the South, sweaty work, and time spent "fixing" my hair was so wasted. Now it's wash, leave in conditioner and go. Easy peasey! Ok, at the age of 60 I started coloring it purple, but otherwise....

    I cut my hair into a bob back in May under the impression that I wouldn't have to do anything to it and it would look great and BOY was I ever wrong. It looked like crap for like 4 months because It was too short for the slight wave I have in my hair to sit correctly and since I didn't have time to style it in the mornings before work it was always a hot mess and then I couldn't even put it up because it was too short. Never going there again.

    • @KalistaReyes
      @KalistaReyes Před 6 lety +6

      My Name Is Liz if your hair will allow it, I'd suggest braiding it the night before (I do two French braids down the sides since not all my hair will go into one like it used to due to cutting all my hair off) and then you'll have waves from the braids that sit better since you put the braid in and it's not your natural hair waves trying to sit right. Maybe that can help?

      I have a wave and a colic in the back and my new stylist blended it down with blending shears. You just need to find a better hairdresser. However it also helps to get one of those big round brushes to blow dry your hair. It smooths everything better than a regular brush. www.ulta.com/ceramic-ion-thermal-hairbrush?productId=VP10594

    I used to have super long, SUPER thick hair (like literally the hairstylist the other day took my hair into a ponytail in his hands and said, "This is unreal...") and I just got my hair cut a tiny bit above shoulder-length the other day, and I LOVE it!! 😄
    BUT... I would say, THE most important thing, if u do have super thick hair, is to find a hairstylist who can effectively thin out & texturize your hair... My girl is a freaking miracle worker, she thinned soooo much hair out, & my short hair looks amazing... Not like a big "shelf" like I was afraid of! So yeah, go to an expensive salon, or someone u KNOW knows how to do it well... It will makes the world of a difference! Also bring pictures of what you want, that always helps 👍

If the stylist doesn't go in there and texturize my hair good I cannot expect any volume. People always said I can style my hair good, I never took the credit, it's a good hair cut.

The short hair is so much easier to style, I can pretty much wash and go (not possible with my longer hair) and it's so on trend right now, I feel more confident, even when I'm wearing crap clothes. I was so distressed at having to cut my hair off in the first place, now I'm thankful! So much easier to style and colour. Loving it!

At the begining it's new and cool to try whatever you want, but after a time you just say: fuck off, blow dry and good to go even if they go everywhere and you just flip them side to side of your face and it's not very flattering. I can't wait to have my long hair back!
