I am doing this tomorrow for the opposite reason - my hair is baby fine and I'm tired of fighting it. I drove to work this morning and Bono was singing "get out of your own way." This is awesome!!

[@teresakahn8133]

I am 58 years old. I have been a hairdresser since I was 19. I’ve had every cut every color every length.. except a shaved head! I’ve dreamed of doing this for years. Yes my husband said .. I like long hair .. we’ve been married 37 years. We recently suddenly lost our daughter at age 32 in May. I completely lost my mental health. I’m a shell. I know hair holds trauma. This was the time…I shaved my head and have never felt more free!!❤

[@Trinidadianlove]

I'm a 23 year old woman who just got a buzzcut for the first time and i love it! The most annoying thing about it is other people's comments, but it is so much less work now and i dont regret it.

[@dalemontgomery5475]

@@Trinidadianlove I bet it does look good. Nobody needs hair. I shaved mine when I was your age . Now I am 70 an I still shave my head bald an I love it

[@schlemsadventures8606]

Thank you for sharing…I’m 51 and never had been happy with my hair. Your words (It was so similar to my own hair journey) gave me the strength and confidence to see a barber and get a buzz cut with fade. My salt & pepper look, I absolutely love! Even though I get the bad comments from people, I feel like me now

I have alopecia and chose to shave my head about 7 years old. I was 14 when diagnosed and shaved it off when around 28. I don’t miss it. I prefer a grade zero

[@lizasherman7431]

I too have burden hair...limp, thin... Then came 5 years of cancer meds. Until one day...I buzzed my hair!!! I have never felt such relief! Never been soooo empowered!! We are so badass my sister!!

[@jilllapierre9968]

For the past four years or five years, I have been cutting my hair shorter and shorter and now it’s half buzz cut and being that I’m 77 years old I’m very concerned that I might look foolish, but you’ve given me confidence. I am not sure I’ll be able to do it. I’ll think about it. I’ll think about it but I’m not sure I’ll be able to make the leap, but you look beautiful by the way and it’s a perfect cut for you. Who knows I just might do it.!

[@glasscow9965]

Love your story ❤️ I’m 75 and one step from a buzz cut after hair to the waist in the 60s and styles of hair in between. I’ve buzzed both sides and back for about 5 yrs and still trying to muster up push for a total buzz. So close and you are my inspiration 💕

[@JulieKitchin-z8t]

You look fabulous, even better you clearly feel fabulous! I’ve been thinking about a buzz cut over the last few years but always felt (stupidly) a little constrained whilst working as an accountant. I retired three months ago. Last month I bleached my hair; the process was a pain but I love how it looks. Now a buzz cut beckons. Thanks for inspiring me and others to be brave and true to ourselves ❤️

[@Oved248]

You look marvelous in a buzz cut! 😇 I'm 60 this year, I've been buzzing my hair (or having it buzzed) since I was about 47. I love it - it's the only style for me! So convenient, fast, and cute. Fun, honest stuff here. 😎

I am a retired hairdresser ,did hairdresser and always had my hair spiky and short but at 75 on the 15th of January I am going the full cut. I am going to focus for the next year's left on my skin and face care. Buzz cut here i come.

Hey, grüße aus Deutschland. Folge dir schon auf Instagram und bewundere deinen Mut zur Mode und dem Buzz. Coole Haarreise. Ähnlich wie meine, nur das ich sehr dünne Haare habe. Aber ich gehe auch nächsten Monat zum Friseur und lasse mir den buzz schneiden. Mach weiter so, du bist toll. Sorry, alles in deutsch, aber mein english ist nicht so sehr gut😊

[@emeraldwoman6158]

I love this!! I too feel how you feel! Buzzed my hair a week ago. I see ME now and it really has instilled a confidence in me to make bolder fashion choices. This style of hair almost requires that you step outside your norm. 🥂

Thank you so much for this support. I needed it right now. I wish to buzz my hair since I was 16. I‘m 42 now and as you discribe it, my real personality ist like breaking through. Today I‘m brave enough to do it. And as you say, it‘s just hair, so WTF… 😅

Thank you for the video. I have exactly the same hair, thick and uncontrollable. I cannot believe how similar our hair journeys are. I started to go grey 20 years ago when I was in my early 30's, been colouring it since then. You have given my the courage to go for it - no more colour xxx I already have a short cut so cannot go much shorted with my cut xxx

I've been wearing my hair pretty short for years and did the big shave around 2016, wore it like that for a while let it grow, buzz it again etc. Of all the hairstyles I've had (I'm a stylist) this gets the most attention and compliments of all. People are amazed at the guts it takes but honestly it doesn't,it's hair and if you don't like it, it will grow! And btw I'm 49 this year 😊

[@BadWolf1958]

[@LoriLycans]

Your hair journey is so similar to mine- I have TONS of thick, wavy/almost curly hair and I have tried every hairstyle known to woman. I had it down to my shoulders and am slowly inching my way up. I keep playing around with the idea of a buzz cut, and this has sealed the deal! THANK YOU!!! :) You look so amazing, and happy!

I have had my hair really short and buzzed sometimes over the years. I just buzzed again this past weekend. I'm trying to embrace it again, but I'm feeling really down. I've never been happy with my hair. Any words of comfort?

[@grayhairandtattoos]

Hi there and here's my thoughts. I would add a pop of color to your hair, something fun and semi permanent. Also, change up your makeup and make it bolder and lastly, buy yourself a cute new trendy outfit. I think a buzz cut is more than a hairstyle - it's a statement. Make the statement that matches you - I hope this helps you ❤

[@GGHD76]

It does make you look younger. You've explained it all exactly how I feel and have thick hair too. I feel its just dead if I grow it. Love you, thank you!

[@Dingle1234]

This is my first time to your channel, but I can see this is more "you" than any of the other cuts. And your cheeks look higher and fuller. I think so much hair made your face look thin and pulled it down a bit. Gorgeous! For years I've wanted to go back to the pixie cut I had when I was little, but my hair is so thin on top. Nice and thick at the back.

[@grayhairandtattoos]

Welcome and I'm glad you found me! I personally have found that when my hair is lighter it looks thicker. When I dye it a darker color you can see more of my scalp. Maybe try a lighter color and then do your pixie cut. 💜

[@marjaleena9465]

I have somewhat thin hair but I feel you - my hair has been such a pain in the ass my entire life. So difficult to maintain and it was always causing me so much stress and anxiety! So I finally decided to buzz it all off. I wish I had done it sooner.

[@itsmeGeorgina]

Same!! I am 58 too, and finally buzzed my hair 2 months ago, I have more grey than you, and finally I am happy that I always look put together. 😎

It's an amazing way to wear your hair. I like to add a little silver or purple conditioner every so ofter just for a little pop.

[@taracrawford5787]

Your amazing!! I found you looking for buzzcuts with bangs. I have longerish front framing my face and longish side burns. Rest of my hair is cut with #4 clipper blade. Last week my hairdresser messed up with the clippers. I didnt see till i got home. I've now got just about bald spot on one side. Looks awful. Unlike you I have thin hair...Sure wish I could get your opinion. After seeing all your videos I'm so ready to buzz it all, but I'm a tad worried. I'm 63 and afraid no bangs will show wrinkles, lol. But I've got wrinkles on rest of my face. I don't want to go back to my girl. Do I go to barber? Use my brand new clippers still in the box? I'm thinking just go for it...You are so freaking cool, and pretty and not afraid to try new things. I admire that about you. I suppose I'm close to that since I have a buzz cut! Please don't stop making videos. Your awesome. ps I can't help to hope you reply to this.

[@grayhairandtattoos]

Hi there! Okay here's my opinion. I personally say go for the full buzz cut, it's amazingly empowering and I think it's stinking cute. BUT you have to like what you see in the mirror. So here's my opinion on that. We all have wrinkles when we get older and we are constantly told that's a bad thing. I don't think it's bad, in fact I think we should celebrate getting old and we need to stop hiding behind our hair. We lose our power when we hide. If you decide to do the buzz I would say go to a barber for your first cut then trim it yourself from there. It will take the pressure off of you and you want a nice trim around the ears. If your hair is thin, I would suggest a lighter hair color (it doesn't show your scalp as much). To end I just want you to know there is no right or wrong way to wear your hair. It's your personal choice and you need to follow your heart and just do what makes you feel the best about your. Oh and one last thing - if you buzz your hair and you don't like it, just grow it out and be proud of yourself for doing it. 💜

[@taracrawford5787]

Except for bangs and side sides I do have buzz cut. I agree with you 100%. I earned my wrinkles, and love that I don't hide behind my hair, nor am I bogged down with hair products and appliances. Your such a inspiration to me. I can't believe you actually responded!! Thank you so much. Please don't stop making your great videos 💜

[@marymarcum2717]

You go girl! I'm 58 going gray. I've got some white around my face but with it being mostly dark with some grey in it I look so old....I've been in such a funk...yours looks so adorable. My problem is I wear glasses.

[@grayhairandtattoos]

Please do be hard on yourself. I would look into getting a silver or gray semi-permanent hair color and bright the gray. Or get pink or purple, just get a color that will add a pop and play with that. We think just because we are gray that we can't play around with a semi-permanent color. If you don't want to do that, think about brightening up your makeup. Get some bold lips or bright eyes. You know have to look old just because you hair has gray. I hope this helps and I hope you start playing around more with colors.

[@morriganphantomqueen]

Thank you :) you are truly an inspiration and a confirmation of what I have already been telling around me for years. If have let my hair go gray since I am 30, despite people's remarks, I always had short hair but started buzzing it myself like 7 years ago. I am 47 now and it truly has been life changing, liberating and both were the best decisions I have ever made for myself. You are right we have to find ourselves and just do our thing. We owe it and do it for ourselves, not for others :)

[@woollyally]

You look great Lonni! I buzzed my hair earlier this year (April) on a whim - I hated the hairstyle I had (which was quite short anyway) so I just lopped it all off. I was surprised at how round my head was without hair 😁 but it was great. And no maintenance, like you said. I had never felt so free by not having to do my hair each morning. I am so tempted to do it again, especially as this time we're going into Summer over here so it won't be as cold. 😁

[@grayhairandtattoos]

Thank you!!! I can't believe how much time I save every single day, not trying to make my hair do something it doesn't want to do. Game Changer!!!

[@daisyblue7209]

Hello, I have a question for anyone who may know. I've been thinking about buzzing my hair. I have to sleep on one side do to chronic back pain and times that I have cut my hair even shorter when I wake up my hair has spread out in one place that leaves a bald spot but I have just enough hair that I can keep brushing to the side to cover up that spot until it grows out. So my question is if I was to buzz my hair would I still get that bald spot in the mornings or would my hair be so short that it wouldn't do anything to it at all? THANKS!😊

[@grayhairandtattoos]

I'm not 100% sure on this one but I do know that if you have a buzz cut it won't show your bald spot at much. You would be able to blend that in much more than with longer hair. Also I noticed with my hair that when I have a darker color, I can see more of my scalp. When I have a lighter color it's not as noticeable. I hope this helps and please let me know what you end up doing ❤

I have a “long buzz” right now like an 8 guard and it doesn’t look good. I’m not sure that the barber got it “right” as to the shape of my face etc. he did some scissors work on top also. So my question is.. are buzz cuts more attractive on certain shaped faces or can ANYONE rock a buzz cut?

[@likeitbuzzed6239]

Last time you asked for suggestions, I mentioned “buzz cut”. I’m pleased that you finally did it! When you’re ready, go shorter.

[@earthmamma85]

I’m 38… your story resonates with me so much. I have thick curly hair. I cut it super short when I was in high school and I knew immediately that that was me. Over the years I’ve put myself in a box that I thought I belonged in, and longer hair was part of being in that box. I’ve struggled with self esteem issues as long as I can remember… I always fall back into thinking I need long hair to be pretty or feminine and soft. But the truth of the matter is that hair doesn’t make you any of those things. It’s a difficult way of thinking to break out of. When my hair is long, it’s all I think about, stress about. Everyone loves it long, they always say how beautiful it is. It is beautiful on a good day but for most of the time it’s a pain in the butt. So I completely understand what you’ve gone through.

[@GGHD76]

Im 48 and started buzzing it a few years ago..I can never go bk to longer hair now. Its just not me anymore.

[@MayaMartel]

I buzzed mine too (at 50). Not only is it freeing… it’s easier, quicker, more convenient and cheaper! It’s funny when it gets long enough to grab it, I catch myself saying “ugh my hair’s too long” 😂

[@grayhairandtattoos]

Just like you I was totally amazed at just how freeing it was and just like you once my hair gets past the freshly buzzed length I'm like "dang look at all that hair - it's got to go!!!"

I'm also 67 y.o. Been buzzing my hair for nearly 14 yrs. I have fine strait limp hair, round face & a short fore head . I have felt bound up all my life bc of my hair, couldn't even free my minimalist Bohemian style. So I too just did it and it was freeing. My daughter hates it but has finally accepted my way. Be yourself, dress your style, & tell society to go hang on a nail. BE YOUR BEST YOU, HOWEVER & WHOEVER THAT MIGHT BE!❤❤❤

I thoroughly enjoyed this video and I love your style!!! I told myself that I would Buzz cut my hair when I turned 50, well I'm about 3 years behind schedule but truthfully right on time. Earlier this month I scheduled an appointment for the 22nd to get my buzz cut. It will be the lowest cut I've ever done and the 4th of my "big chops"!

I envy your thick hair. I have alopecia and always wished to have thick hair

[@elizabethgalaida5880]

SO fabulous! What I love best is that we can see YOU without hair hiding you.

[@grayhairandtattoos]

That's what I think and I didn't realize how much I was hiding behind my hair until I buzzed it all off!

What clipper guard do you use.

[@grayhairandtattoos]

In this video I used a Phillips Norelco clipper and the guard was 12mm. I currently use a 7mm on top and a 5mm on the sides. As time goes by I go shorter and shorter!

@grayhairandtattoos ok, thanx. You have inspired me 😁
