5 WEIRD THINGS: PIXIE CUTS! | REGAN SHORTER

[@TheBowTieCat]

I have a tomboyish style too and when I cut my hair super short for the first time I was in grade 8, other younger grades would ask me if I was a boy or a girl. It's sad how kids are brought up with the idea of short hair = boy and long hair = girl. It got to me at first but after a while I enjoyed proving societal standards wrong. People can think whatever they want. It's down the middle of my back now and I'm gonna do it all over again I can't wait it's so much more comfortable than long hair.

[@herecomeskarma608]

cheelio oh yeah I forgot about that type of stuff.. they probably think that because a lot of kids in the elementary school age normally don't do wild things with their hair

[@mimimann7400]

cheelio that's exactly what happened to me

[@bibivlogs3238]

my mom piss me off cuz i have short hair and i will have a party in 8th grade idfc about my hairstyle i don't need a fancy hairstyle and spend some moneys to hairdresser

[@MissterClown]

Where i live that would happen cause boys arent allowed to have long hair in school ... So until like 18 you must keep your hair hella short , so yeah we kinda have this short hair = boy mindset

[@iwankaiwankowa8337]

when i shower i unconsciously touch my hair in the back, cause i want to put some shampoo on it.. but there is no hair

[@gaylemorales7342]

I feel you

[@delusionalcelery8275]

Same but I got shaved there and the little needle hair keeps poking me

[@holly5941]

Iwanka Iwankowa same, I have it shaved though

[@brixandblooms]

Short hair works well with confidence. I love my short hair! I vore hair before but I blended in with everyone else. I didn't get komplements on a daily basis until I vore it short. It definitely stands out in the crowd when styled correctly!

[@hannahrosereviews5073]

When I had a pixie cut, I ripped tix at a movie theatre. I was hit on by so many lesbians it was actually really funny!!!

[@clydemarshall8095]

For what it's worth I'm a male who finds both pixie cuts and tomboys quite attractive.

[@malkyyy3418]

Clyde Marshall oh thank god. I hope there are more people like you.

[@mimimann7400]

Clyde Marshall than I'm perfect for u cuz I'm both 😉

[@clydemarshall8095]

Wish there were more of you out there.

[@kixtayo]

...there needs to be more guys like you, for real. I'm a tomboy who is cutting my hair into a pixie cut the day after tomorrow. I wish it was tomorrow!!!

[@clydemarshall8095]

You go girl! ;)

[@nikibee4685]

Honesty I think pixie cuts are way cuter and I admire girls who get them because they're so spontaneous to take that leap.

[@Katxo1831]

I'm scared to go pixie xD I've been seriously thinking about doing a longish pixie because my hair has been bleach damaged and I want to have a fresh start

[@ReganShorter]

It's definitely something that takes some commitment! Have you done a short bob before? that could be a good alternative if you're nervous to go all the way!

[@Katxo1831]

+Regan Shorter I have an a line bob right now, but I did three bleaches to get hair dye out now the ends are damaged haha. I have a few inches grown out so I want it cut to that :)

[@ReganShorter]

Are you planning to grow it back out to your current length? Growing out a pixie is HARD, but if you're planning to keep it short, I say go for it! If you end up making the cut, tag me on instagram... I'd love to see!

[@Katxo1831]

+Regan Shorter Yea that's why I'm hesitant to get one, I've heard it's hard to grow out. But will do!

[@ReganShorter]

+Chi Willington It takes a lot of patience! I thought about doing it recently, but then I cut my hair even shorter lol

[@starsadventures]

I think the insecurity was great for me. My pixie cut didn't go as planned the first time and it was a work in progress. I hid behind my hair for years, so I was able to become used to showing myself through that experience. I learned that my hair is not the only thing that makes me feel good about myself. I've been growing out my hair, but honestly, I'm probably going to pixie cut it again. When I did some deep soul searching I felt like I'm not ready to go back to long hair and trying would only cause me stress.

[@esteebee]

People pet me more on the head. Its not a bad thing just weird.

[@ReganShorter]

That would drive me CRAZY!!

[@pixelatedcaketa1643]

I would love for this to happen to me

[@annalima7166]

+pixelatedcake TA Me too

[@gillylu_]

Same thing happens to me.

[@hminghmingiralte6252]

same here.....n i find it funny....😅😅

[@ReganShorter]

I am so glad to see how much you've enjoyed this video! While I LOVED my pixie, I'm currently in the process of growing it out. If you'd like to learn more about that, let me know!

[@iKeto_gal]

booooo

[@emilyg.2559]

I cut my hair six days ago and every day when I wake up in the morning I feel my head and almost have a mini heart attack because there's nothing there

[@takitaki202]

I got my hair cut yesterday and i can already relate to some of these like forgetting that there is not much hair on the back of my head

[@ReganShorter]

Kara Amaya yes, that one has got to be the weirdest feeling!

[@maranatha22777]

Some things that have happened to me is EVERYTHING changed. From my makeup, to my clothes, and the way I carry myself. I no longer recognize who I am BUT it has been the best change I could have done. It’s like my whole perspective has changed. I look at who I am now in the mirror and have to learn who she is. She is reminded or who she was called to be before all of the hair coloring and different makeup techniques to match the hair. It’s like I started afresh but became who I truly am. Since my hair is natural again, I am myself again but still a new me. (If that makes sense) I know wear the proper colors for my hair and complexion and it makes a world of a difference. You see me again and not my “hair” or my “makeup” or my “outfit” you see who I was created to be. Besides the awkward hair grow stages I am going to be entering in, 😅 the world now has to be ready for who I truly am without all the “extra” layers. ❤

[@SalmaMoPeace]

That is so strange, cuz I am the complete opposite... I feel so confident and so "me" when I cut my hair pixie, I also get used to it right away... And I don't have to style it at all, just brush it for 5 seconds, it just looks right the way it is; but when I had longer hair I was so lazy and it just has to be styled in order to look presentable :D

[@emilyg.2559]

I relate to all 5 of those so much. I thought I was weird and no one related to me but now I feel a lot better

[@captainkid9005]

I am constantly touching the back of my head just because I like how it feels. 😃

[@ReganShorter]

When I kept my sides really short, almost buzzed, I loved touching them!

[@madelinevlogs5898]

I wore earrings a lot more with a pixie cut because the short hair made my jewelry stand out. Now that I have a long bob, I never wear earrings because my hair covers them

[@maddiekuhl2957]

When I lift for squat, I would have to reach around to get my hair from underneath the bar. I did that for probably more than a month after getting a pixie cut😂

[@iona2714]

I'm getting a pixie cut in 2 weeks

[@francesgilbert1643]

I am 62 and recently cut my hair short pixie plus lighter on top and natural color bottom .I get lots of cool hair love the cut and I am happy.Yes to styling but very easy !

[@amaliaheinen4340]

when I first got my hair cut off I was really self conscious about my hair too , but now I'm even bolder than before

[@ReganShorter]

Yes! You feel super vunerable for awhile, and like everyone is looking at you. But I grew to love the attention... it's fun to be the brave one and stand out in the crowd!

[@Excsta]

I find girls with pixie cuts hella hella attractive

[@weatherkarl]

When I chopped all of my hair off I noticed that people either loved my hair or hated it. Either way people have been very opinionated on it whereas before it was a neutral thing.

[@ReganShorter]

That's very true! It's a polarizing cut. I really loved my pixie though!

[@keiraduband]

I got my hair cut yesterday and I love it!!

[@Gr95dc]

So true, all of this! Specially the ponytail part. I just cut my hair like a week ago and I'm still not completely used to my new hair but one thing I've noticed is how free I feel even if I don't love the cut. Something funny that people have told me is that I look tougher lol (I kinda like it)

[@ReganShorter]

+GraceDcastle when I first cut my hair, I didn't love it! Then when I went back again I got a slightly different cut (the one you see in the video) and freaking loved it. The ghost ponytail is so weird haha. Glad to hear you're loving the reactions!! 💪

[@Gr95dc]

Regan Shorter Thanks for replying! Like you say I went to get a new cut a couple weeks ago and I loved it! Funny what a slight change can do

[@ReganShorter]

+GraceDcastle absolutely! I think once you get past the initial shock it's a lot easier

[@joysilva777]

All your points are exactly what I've experienced as well. What has happened to me, since cutting my hair that i find so strange, random men in public are rude to me. They no longer hold the door open for me, at stores they will push past me, it's the most bizarre thing I've ever experienced. .... men actually give me dirty looks now. WEIRD.

[@ReganShorter]

Woah! What a reaction. I had a point where I felt super unattractive, and felt obligated to wear lots of makeup.

[@jessicaescobar6029]

Sometimes when I pull on a sweater or shirt I go to do the flip/pull of hair out of the shirt move. I've been pixie for 1 1/2 years.

[@ReganShorter]

Oh my gosh! haha I've yet to do that one

[@haileys8071]

I do that too! It's so strange.

[@megkruse2542]

When I cut my hair all of the makeup I'd been wearing started looking way too heavy and I had to change up my routine and wear much lighter colors

[@ReganShorter]

Meg Phillips how funny, that's the opposite of what I did!

[@bridgetteb4112]

Im just now catching this video a week into cutting my hair short and you are making me feel so not alone! That free feeling and boost of confidence everyone said i would have is bullshit. I felt super insecure for the first 5 days of this hair cut. Not to mention this being the first time my hair has ever been this short I do not know how to style it and my stylist did not show me. Also she cut off my sideburns which keeps a lot of the femininity of a short pixie. I too am also layering on the makeup, heavy of the bb cream and mascara. I cant wait until this cut grows out to a comfortable length.

[@ReganShorter]

It's really shocking at first! I think you'll get used to it with time. There will be less shock when you look in the mirror and you'll be able to find the perfect pixie for you.

[@ness_5151]

i just got a pixie two days ago and i love it so much :) the weirdest thing would probably be the bed head 😂 when you wake up, it's just kinda everywhere

[@ReganShorter]

Pixies are the best! hahaha but so true. The best thing my hairdresser told me is to wet it in the mornings and blast it with a blowdryer before styling. I have a cowlick on my hairline, so it was always a pleasure to style haha

[@Lucifer-vc2uy]

this is a thing that happened when I got a bob cut before a pixie (so I could get used to having less hair) and for the first month or two I kept going back to pull my hair out of my shirt after I put it on and every time I was like "oh..... I forgot that I have no hair to pull out"

[@ReganShorter]

It is the weirdest feeling! I assume it must be kind of similar for people who lose a limb and they have the phantom syndrome (though I'm sure it's much more difficult for them!).

[@rihaamjuwaisir3689]

I am getting my hair cut on next Friday! I am really nervous, in some way it's like maybe I should cancel it but I wanna do it! I am also so excited! I hope I can find confidence in myself and it is hair, it grows back. If I won't do it I'll keep thinking about it. Like I am pretty nervous and scared if it doesn't look good and what people around me say, it is going to be so weird to go to school but maybe I will love it! Maybe that will make me happy so I am also really excited and I have seen bunch of videos on youtube about pixies. This year has been tough. I lost someone important and as now I will do it 5.1 it can be a nice different start to hopefully a better year! I want to feel mentally better and be confident in myself. So I really hope the pixie will be good and help me with that! You are great, keep going ❤️

[@thestyleicon7261]

You look stunning in your pixie haircut ! Looks really good on you! And you're so entertaining to watch, you have such a lovely personality

[@ReganShorter]

+MahaOnTheGo Thank you!! You're so sweet :)

[@thestyleicon7261]

❤️ :)

[@befitat5088]

You are one of the few people that can rock a pixie cut!

[@ReganShorter]

I'm pretty sure you had one too!!

[@bobasubs2785]

I just got my hair cut today and I've already reached for my ponytail 99 times haha. I also always get a little startled when I see myself, but I love my hair now.

[@ReganShorter]

+Boba Subliminals isn't it such a weird sensation?!

[@bobasubs2785]

Definitely!

[@delaneybean3876]

I'm just about to get my hair cut into a pixie cut tomorrow. Thanks for this video. It's made me more confident for this big change. It was a lot more realistic than a lot of the videos on KZbin

[@ReganShorter]

I'm so excited for you! Be prepared to not love your first cut (it took me a bit to find the one I liked best), but in the long run you're going to love it!

[@delaneybean3876]

+Regan Shorter I got my Pixie cut and I love it! I've always gotten supper freaked out at the slightest trim before when my hair was long. But she just chopped the pony tail of thirteen inches off and I just couldn't stop smiling. It feels more me than the long hair ever did. I always kept my hair in a pony tail so it doesn't really feel any different which is even better!

[@ReganShorter]

+Delaney McDaniel I was totally the same! I rarely did anything with my hair. I'm so happy you love it!!!! Welcome to the club 💓

[@BlackFrostQueen]

Please do a video on all about your pixie, showing it off and how to style it! You look great and have nice videos!

[@ReganShorter]

I'll have to do an update video! I'm in the process of growing it out right now after having it for a year and styling a longer pixie is super different from a short one like I had. All I used to do was blowdry my cowlick at the front so it didn't stick up and then use Kevin Murphy's Gritty Business pomade for texture. This pomade is the bomb.com! I highly recommend it for short hair. It's kind of expensive, but lasted me a year.

[@mimimann7400]

I have a pixie cut too and for the first week when I went to wash my hair I reached back to grab my long hair and there was nothing there. 🙄😂

[@ReganShorter]

+Mystery KZbinr isn't it such a weird sensation??

[@mimimann7400]

Regan Shorter yes totally! 😅😒

[@rachelkmac]

I recently cut my hair short, too and it's super thick. I notice when I work out, the back of my hair is drenched with sweat. Before, there was so much hair covering that area, I never knew I would be so sweaty!

[@toes5158]

does your hair stick out or did it stick out not just bedhead but all the time

[@SimplyjustKatey]

Ahhhh, man I wish I did... But there are huge gaps in between. I think I have one picturs from when I first cut it they it jumps to may.

[@MadisonF1409]

I got a pixie cut for the first time a little over a year ago, and I’m not sure I will ever turn back. I think the only downside for me is that I feel I need to wear girlier clothes now when I go out in public (so people know I’m a girl) since I too have more of a tomboy style, but it hasn’t been hard so far. Also, I feel this is kind of rare, but I have never had to style my pixie cut. Never did when I had it shorter and I don’t now that it has grown out way passed my eyes. All I need to do it comb my hair and it looks how I want it to. Guess I just got lucky.

[@kateparker8546]

The lovely French concept of going to bed with damp hair so you wake up with loose waves? Yeah, when I went pixie, I quickly discovered that doesn't apply to anything shorter than shoulder length :)

[@ReganShorter]

Oh my gosh, I really miss sleeping with wet hair! I have to shower in the mornings now and it makes me so sad. #nightowl

[@rubyrootless7324]

I'm gonna cut it on friday. So exited man, the last time I had short hair was way back in early childhood. No more elastics to loose! Yay!

[@ReganShorter]

Cheers to that!

[@rubyrootless7324]

I did it, I've never felt so good about my hair, haha Great decision, I don't think I want to have long hair ever again

[@purple-giraffe7862]

Omg I cut my hair short and I had a ghost ponytail every night before I went to bed for about a week. It was strange because it felt like it always has when I would have a ponytail but then I'd reach back to take it out and nothing is there haha.

[@ReganShorter]

YES! I would get freaking out for a moment and panic. It always hurts when you accidentally sleep in your ponytail, so I freak for a second and then realize I just didn't have hair anymore haha. Washing your hair is so weird at first too!

[@pia1867]

People stare at me but I smile back at them

[@karma-struck6503]

It took me a day to get used to mine, but, probably because I’m 12, and haven’t seen myself with long hair for that many years.

[@echofoxyful]

The ponytail thing is happening to me too! So weird

[@ReganShorter]

It's almost like a ghost limb! glad to hear I'm not the only one 😅

[@SkyR707]

When I was young and I had long hair I would always run my hand through my hair. With my hair short I would be shocked when I reach back to no hair! 😄

[@eryn8972]

I'm getting my pixie tomorrow to I'm watching videos to make me more confident

[@ReganShorter]

It's going to be a shock at first... be prepared. BUT you're going to feel like a superstar after a few weeks! It's so liberating.

[@briefhistories]

I really enjoyed this video! Having short hair demands a bit of confidence. You look so pretty in yours!

[@ReganShorter]

It really does! I'm in the process of growing it out, but I think I actually felt more confident with it short. You have no choice but to rock it!

[@joriogrady6064]

I've wanted a pixie cut for a while. I had pretty long hair and before school started I cut it to sorta bob/shoulder length hair. I love it so much more than my long hair. I have thin hair that always got tangled and now it's soft and healthy. The thing is I still want short hair. Recently I told my mom that I wanted to cut it, and I got totally negative feedback. She said "why do I want to look like a boy so much" and "it won't look good on you, the only people that it can suit is thin feminine girls, otherwise you'll just look like a boy" I'm not thin, but I'm not fat either. I have a squareish roundish face and pretty average body. Another thing is that I've always been told i look amazing in buns and ponytails, so is there much of a difference between that and a pixie cut? I've wanted to do this for so long and I really wish I could convince her. Does anyone have an advice? I'd really like to do this and personally I'm afraid. I've never been a person to care too much about what others say, but I do a little in this I guess.

[@ReganShorter]

Pretty. Odd If this is something you want to do, DO IT! Your mom and anyone else who doesn't like it will get over it. Remember it's your hair and your body... which means you're the one in control of it. Go get that pixie and ROCK it!

[@kaleighm993]

One of my friends got a pixie cut because she really liked mine and I'm waay more girly than her. She's definitely a tomboy. She gets mistaken for a guy all the time and I never did when I had my pixie! I want a pixie again I had one for about 2 years until I just let it grow out and I hate having to pull hair out of my jackets and shirts all the time

[@ReganShorter]

I'm not very girly, besides enjoying makeup, but I kind of love the androgynous look. She should totally embrace it! I'm in the process of growing mine out and I totally forgot how annoying that is. I have a little mullet right now and it always gets stuck on top of my scarf or coat and is SO ANNOYING!

[@ruthvanhulst7824]

You look so pretty with a pixie!!

[@ReganShorter]

Thank you Ruth!

I've never heard of this before, but I'll take it! I'm glad you love your pixie!!

[@nothanks4197]

I'm getting a pixie cut this weekend....any tips? I have a round ish - ish face? Idek....

[@ReganShorter]

+Riykeo don't stress too much! Find people on Pinterest who also have round faces :). I went longer with my first one and then ended up getting it shorter in the end. Don't worry too much! Pixies grow pretty quick

[@nothanks4197]

Regan Shorter Thxs! Turns out I'm getting one tonight! I feel a lot better now that u searched up the pro and cons. :)

[@ReganShorter]

+Riykeo I'm so excited for you! Be ready for a shock at first, but it's totally worth it

[@nothanks4197]

Regan Shorter I just got it! It looks amazing! Thank you for helping me! It's was very helpful! :)

[@coolchick7197]

I'm super tomboy (no dresses, skirts, makeup, basically any girly clothing except the things I can't control) I've had my pixie/short hair now for almost 4 years and love it more and more each day. I look back on old pics and videos of myself from when I had long hair and I looked way too young/unconfident and uncomfortable talking on camera compared to now. 3 things I get though that sort of bug me: 1) the back of my hair grows really quickly (thick hair problems), 2) I get mistaken for being a boy but to be honest with you I don't mind it now, 3) CRAZY BED HAIR!! Great for the weekend....not so much for work

[@najili2295]

I shaved all my hair off so #3 was a huge thing for me, but to be honest I got a lot more attention when I shaved my head. The only thing I felt like I had to do when I shaved my head was wear earrings and mascara. The mascara thing was actually just some weird thing that I had even when my hair was long, so I guess it doesn't count, . but I always had to wear earrings lol.

[@ReganShorter]

You are so bold go fully shave it! I got tired of cutting it all the time and considered doing that, but got too scared haha

[@najili2295]

+Regan Shorter awwww don't be scared, you look beautiful regardless :)

[@darthleia2536]

I am planing to get a pixie cut in two weeks but I am kind of nervous that I will look like a boy since I do a lot of exercise Lol . Thanks for your feedback !

[@jj-mf7rq]

when i go to the gym i always take a hair tie but i don't have any hair to put up 😂😂😂

[@ReganShorter]

The gym can be either the best or worst! I'm at a weird length while trying to grow mine out, so it doesn't fit in a ponytail yet, but I still need tons of pins and a headband haha

[@StrawberryRen]

I've been thinking about getting a pixie for a week or two now and I've ALWAYS had long hair or at least chin length, and I don't know if I should get one. I don't know what to do

[@ReganShorter]

The great thing about hair is that it can grow back! Before you cut it, think about the time commitment. You'll need to style it in the mornings (I never styled my long hair) and you'll need to get it cut more often. Consider those before making the big change!

[@SimplyjustKatey]

It will just be about 7 months of painstakingly awkward hair-do's (I should say don't's) and then it will be fairly normal--Atleast I believe I'm only on month 9 hahaha. But if I can figure out a way to upload a photo I'll show you what stage im at currently.

[@ReganShorter]

Katey Stene do you have an Instagram you've posted your progress on? I'll go check it out!

[@keiraduband]

I found so many people who I would never think in a million years would want a pixie cut tell me "I want one but it wouldn't go with my hair type/face shape"

[@ReganShorter]

+Ayy Its K I'm so glad you love it!!!

[@bellaverdone]

I used to have a pixie but it didn't go well so it is now down to my shoulders. I really want to get it cut again but I'm super nervous and not sure if I should do it. Any advice?💜

[@ReganShorter]

Why did it not work out last time?

[@skellexis404]

I really want short hair and I was going to ask my mom in a week but then tonight we were talking about my cousin(who has short hair), and my Mom was talking about how bad it looked so Idk anymore even though I want it

Don't worry too much about other people's opinions... if you like the way short hair looks, that's all that matters! ❤

[@apartments318]

Still can't figure out how you made that snipping noise with your mouth...

[@ReganShorter]

Maybe I should add ventriloquism to my hobbies.

[@mirandarichard122]

Just got my second pixie. Loving it

[@SimplyjustKatey]

I had always had long hair so when I cut it I thought I would regret it to some degree. I actually loved it! I couldn't stop playing with it. I have a very strong jaw and thick eyebrows and I loved how it brought out and surprisingly softened the features. I think the biggest thing I noticed was a lot of people didn't recognize me with my short hair. They had to do a double take. Although, I got a lot of positive feedback I got pontytail envy and began to grow back my hair. I got to admit I will probably never cut my hair that short again. Not because I didn't love my pixie but because I cannot stand the grow out phase. One more weird thing, my husband loved that I would get a small mullet. I don't know why. Hahahaha

[@ReganShorter]

Katey Stene haha that's hilarious about the mullet! I totally love my pixie, but am in the process of growing it out because upkeep is so expensive. How long did it take for you?

[@SimplyjustKatey]

+Regan Shorter I started growing it out in December. My hair was about your length (in the video) It took me approximately 7 months to get it into the bob stage. Now it is a slightly longer bob with 3 distinctive layers. (The longest layer is about shoulder length while the shortest layer is about chin level and the mid layer is in between.) The layering was not intentional just an effect of the grow out process. To kind of soften the layering I got bangs so the shortest layer would not appear sooo, well, short. Overall, for the first time in my grow out process my hair cut looks like I intentionally cut it this way. Unfortunately, for my husband that means no more mullet hahah. Honestly though, I hardly wear it down any more. About a month ago I realized I no longer needed bobby pins to keep my hair in a ponytail. Ever since then I've been wearing it in back. This new discovery allows me to go a couple of more days without washing my hair (I usually wash every 2 days but If I pull it back I can squeeze in 3 maybe 4 days) I know this sounds disgusting but it has really helps my hair grow and stay shiny!

[@ReganShorter]

Katey Stene Not disgusting at all! I'm trying to reach the short bob stage, but am getting so impatient. I also have about a million layers, so I'll probably get the back trimmed and sides evened out in a month. It's a constant struggle not to just cut it all off again!

[@SimplyjustKatey]

+Regan Shorter I must say I was very scissor happy they first few months. I had to constantly make sure growing out my pixie didn't look too awkward. But the truth of the matter was--Nothing helped. I was so tempted to shave my head. At about 4 months I gave up going to hair stylist and started cutting my mullet myself. I'm not sure if the hairstylist was cutting more than I wanted or my hair was just at that stage where it appeared to be growing faster. I look back at pictures from April and it's crazy how much my hair since then. My best advice for growing out is imbrace the awkwardness! And go out and get yourself a collection of hair band and bobby pins... They will be your best friend. Around month 5-6 I always twist my front layers into a braid and pinned it next to my ear. This gave the illusion of a bob. (My bottom and mid layers were about the same length but my top layers were definitely not) These was probably the hardest months for me because I definitely didn't look like I had a pixie cut and without the bobby pins and head band I looked like a skaterboy (Or what I dubbed Paul McCartney haircut). At about 7 months out the layers evened out enough to look like a bob. And now at month 9 almost 10 I feel really comfortable with my hair. I'm predicting that I will have a Lob style hair cut by the end of month 12. Honestly, I'm exxcited for when all my layers past my shoulders.

[@ReganShorter]

Oh my gosh, I feel like I look like a skater boy anytime I try to wear a hat. I don't know how other girls with long pixies do it, but it is just not a good look for me. I need to grab some bobby pins this week! It's really encouraging to hear how quickly you got yours to a bob. That's my end goal and I'm happy to hear it didn't take you multiple years!

When I started watching your video I am initiating that I can relate to all five

[@Emptyoystershell]

Recently found your channel and I love it

[@ReganShorter]

+Danners Yeah awesome, I'm so glad you're enjoying it!

[@maryswenson5357]

Haha second time I've gone really short and I've experienced all these. Hair is hair its weird how much people care about it

[@KINMANPUMP]

the first one was kind of me but it was in the shower

[@poeticraven5665]

I'm getting my hair cut in an hour and half ((:

[@GracieAnimations]

Thinking about getting a pixie... I am 14 and have shoulder length hair... SHOULD I OR NO?

[@ReganShorter]

A few things to think about: (1) Will you be able to maintain it? Are you and your parents prepared to get it cut more often, and are you prepared to style it daily? (2) What cut will you get? I always vote for a longer pixie first while you adjust to the shock. Then you can go shorter for your next cut, or if you don't like it at all, you can grow it out. (3) If you grow it out, it does take almost a year. I'm always on board for cutting it, but you've got to make sure it will work for you and your lifestyle!

[@GracieAnimations]

I just decided yesterday! I am getting one! My mom made me an appontment for tomarrow!

[@GracieAnimations]

Regan Shorter Update: I got it and literaly could not be happier!

[@ReganShorter]

[@craftygeekgirl3811]

I'm getting my first pixie on Friday😃

[@ReganShorter]

Are you getting excited yet?! I remember being super ready until I parked my car.. and then I got terribly nervous!

[@craftygeekgirl3811]

Regan Shorter I've been excited for a month now! I just keep thinking how I will only have long hair for a couple more days😁

[@ReganShorter]

Yes!! You're going to love it. Prepare to be a little shocked at first, but this is such a great decision

[@karagomillion2188]

This video was uploaded on my birthday 🎉

[@ReganShorter]

+Plaid Waffles happy (very belated) birthday!

[@sevenis5752]

Why do so people assume if u have short hair you’re gay? How short your hair is or whatever your style is doesn’t always mean someone is gay duh

[@bajabuum]

When I got a pixie for the first time, people couldn't recognize me on the street, at school, anywhere!

[@ReganShorter]

That's always fun! It's also hilarious to see their face when they finally do recognize that it's YOU.

[@bajabuum]

Yes, exactly!

[@lisabeckstrom9594]

Love this video! So funny and helpful! Just got my pixie cut like a month ago. I prefer shorter hair cause its hot were I live right now. The weirdest thing was someone called me a boy! ha ha

[@ReganShorter]

It's so nice when it's hot out! I've been wanting to cut mine off again this summer. I can't stand having hair on my neck in the heat!

[@clairet1434]

you're really pretty 😍

[@ReganShorter]

Shhh, it's all makeup 😉. But thank you, you're too sweet.

[@maeveslater]

I am getting my pixie in less than an hour!!!! Edit: I got it and I'm SO happy!!!!

[@alsnichasarived4802]

does anyone else have an itchy scalp on the first day of the first time of a pixie

[@ReganShorter]

It might be from any hair that was trimmed and could still be on your head. I always go home and shower after my cut to make sure I get rid of any strays!

[@alsnichasarived4802]

Regan Shorter Oh, thanks for the tips! I love your hair. If you used photos for reference can you link them?

[@alsnichasarived4802]

Regan Shorter Oh, thanks for the tips! I love your hair. If you used photos for reference can you link them?

[@ReganShorter]

I went in and showed the hairdresser photos of Halsey's pixie cut! Her style is my absolute favorite :D

[@michcookies]

I'm not the most feminine looking girl (facially) and dress more like a 'boy' (so I'm told 😏) and don't wear much makeup, so when I first got my pixie cut a wee girl came up to me and asked, without any malice, if I was a boy or a girl. At first I was taken aback but then thought 'screw the gender binary!', and kind of revelled in it. Now I have short bobbed hair to my chin which is shaved underneath about halfway up my head, so the new thing is 'can I touch it' 😂. You really suit your cut!

[@ReganShorter]

Thank you so much! I've never been a super feminine dresser, but at the beginning I felt like I overcompensated a lot with makeup. I got used to it over time though too! How long did it take you to grow out your hair? I think I'd like to transition back to a short bob so I can wear hats again!

[@liddelldreams887]

+Regan Shorter hey, i have kind of a bob right now and for me it took like...6 or 7 months to grow it out i think, I had a pixie before but it wasn't really really short

[@ReganShorter]

+Cristelle Bresciani I have about 2 months of growth and it just looks like a long pixie now haha. Getting the back trimmed next week to alleviate the mullet

[@michcookies]

+Regan Shorter I was the same! Think it was the only time I really wore skirts or pink! I'd went from bra strap length though to pixie, so was a massive shock in the different way that people began acting towards me. Didn't realise how much I hid behind my hair, felt very exposed! So used to it now, but don't think I'd ever go back to long hair. Mines was shaved in at the sides, so that was May last year and it was end of Aug/mid Oct same year that I had it tidied up to the short bob I have now. Shaved underneath so i I want I can tie my hair up and have the short hair i want. During the growing out process I became a pro with kirby/Bobby pins!!

[@abbyburch2456]

i'm getting my hair cut today !

[@ReganShorter]

clorox candy 🎉🎉🎆

[@juliacalismusic8572]

I am going to cut it short Saturday! Aaaaa ieieieie

[@ReganShorter]

I hope you're loving it so far!

[@juliacalismusic8572]

@@ReganShorter oh yes! Thank you, I do not want to go back. I am loving it! I also have a undercut at the back, and I love the freedom 😄💜

[@salenerose4222]

You should make a series on your channel called Regan Shorter Hair about hair and makeup stuff lol cuz you got short hair (I'm not making fun of you I just thought it was a good idea, your hair is beautiful)

[@chelseawilliams1068]

You remind me so much of Tessa Netting ❤️😂

[@ReganShorter]

I had no idea who she was until I googled her... now I have to binge-watch her channel!

[@samanthays05200520]

Every single one of those I am experiencing 😅😂 It kinda sucks that I feel like i have to prove I'm a girl to everyone😅, but oh well. Now I have to wake up like an hour earlier to actually do my hair because bed head..... 😅 but I will say I'm actually getting a lot more attention from everyone (compliments, flirts, people wanting to talk to me)😂 I'm not saying I don't enjoy it😉

[@ReganShorter]

YES! I agree, I eventually got over wearing extra makeup everyday. It was my security blanket at first, but then I felt super confident with my hair and didn't feel like I needed it anymore. The attention is a lot of fun though... having short hair is a blast! I loved standing out from the crowd.

[@MiaLove-sk8qn]

The when people are staring at me ummm my family doesn’t know I got a pixie so it’s so weird lol

[@chrupson0077]

You look like Alice from Twilight :)

[@ReganShorter]

Maja Tyszecka haha thank you! I get told I look like the daughter on the series Lie To Me a lot

[@pearlgirl5643]

[@emilyg.2559]

And baseball caps don't really work for me anymore cuz I look like a dude😭

[@ReganShorter]

+Emily G. I feel your pain! I just stopped wearing hats when I had my pixie. I would wear a beanie in the winter, but I made sure to pull my bangs down so they could be seen or I ended up looking bald haha

[@Bacci.beauty]

Wait…. You have to style your hair with a pixie cut?! GIVE ME MY MONEY BACK

[@ReganShorter]

yesssss but it took 5 minutes total, so there's that hehe

[@ameliadeasy7281]

aww..u're cute

[@majaisaksson4544]

I have litterly a few millimeters hair on my head you have way more. You have hair. They stare at me everyday and it does not bother me at all. I think I look sexy and my boyfriend likes it to well he loves it. So dont complain and say I have no hair you have hair. I have hair to, only a few millimeters.
