    I shaved my head several years ago to support my sister, who was fighting cancer. My hair isn’t short anymore, but I did stop fighting my curls. Now I just let them be what they are. Making peace with one’s hair (or any other body part) has brought gratitude for what I have instead of discontent for what I don’t.

      That sounds wonderful! And I completely agree with you! So many of us don't like a particular physical feature (but other people would love to have it) so it can bring so much peace to learn to accept it or even love it! I am sure your curls look amazing ☺

    Regular subscriber who was super excited to see this video! As you can see I also shave my head, and have been for a couple years now! My daughter had cancer when she was 14, but she refused to allow me to shave my head in support of her. But a couple years ago a lady in our church had cancer and so I shaved my head so that she would not have to be the only bald lady in the church. And I absolutely loved it! As soon as the hair was off, I felt this huge freedom! Being an albino, my hair is the first thing everyone notices about me... And I loved that they were now noticing something I had chosen rather than simply had been born with. I only have my hair soap and a small wood comb, no other hair products or tools or worries whatsoever! I hope you will love it as much as I do, but if not, your hair will grow back! That is the cool thing about this choice!

    • @ecofriendlia
      @ecofriendlia  3 года назад +11

      That is such a nice gesture! Oh yes, I imagine that can be so annoying if people reduce you to a random physical feature... I experience that all the time when I talk in my native language (Swiss German) and mention that I had a child at 18... But I can at least "hide" these things if I don't want to have the same conversation over and over again... So far I love my short hair but we will see if I decide to keep it short or if I want to grow it out again ☺

    I shaved my head five years ago, and I've tried growing it out twice, but the upkeep of having to wash my hair and worry if it's dirty or messy or tangled was so annoying, so I always went back to being bald. The buzzcut looks really good on you and looks so natural, like it was always meant to be that way. Welcome to easy living my friend 💚🛀

    I love that you are so refreshingly direct and intentional of your choices . Loving the new look and don't get me started on how high your cheekbones look! Myself, I have gone the opposite way as I use to cut my hair in a bob and cover the grays. 2 years later, I am salt and pepper with two huge streaks of white on either side of my face and the length is past my shoulders which I will let grow until I no longer "feel" the length. I love the freedom of washing my hair and air drying. I get more compliments on my natural hair than I did when I spent so much money on trying to keep up appearances. Also, since I now work from home I gave away jewelry, suits, skirts and work heels. I am back in jeans, t-shirts, hoodies and Vans, just the look I rocked as a 18 year old Cali Girl now 40 years later.

    I never had buzzcut, but I love my pixie hair! I look so stylish for myself, and I get compliments from friends and family, that I never looked so good with long hair. After 2 pregnancies my hair became weaker and thinner, so I decided give up on trying them to regrow. And of course as a mom of two, studying and working part-time, pixie perfectly fits in my simple and quick routine. Never been happier with short, easy maintain hair. I put some make-up, beautiful earings and feeling beautiful and ready to go!

    From a subscriber: you look sooo beutiful!
    I thought several times about cutting off my hair. I think that being shaved feels like WOAH, because, as humans, our perception changes when we are more exposed. I think it changes our connection with nature (like wind, water, sun) and bring us a new sense of connection with ourself and with our minds. It also saves so much time.

I just got it cut short again, really short on sides and back and a little longer on top. My head shape looks better with a little more on top. I love how I now never need to factor my hair into "getting ready" time - I can shower, dress, and be ready to go in 10-15 minutes. I also love not having to keep hair paraphernalia around. I do get reactions socially sometimes. There are men, especially, who believe all women need long hair. Fortunately, (for them) men I've dated/married have not held that opinion. I also love that I don't need to deal with hair in my nose and mouth when it's windy!

I had a pixie cut before so it wasn't a huge change but it was still a very different look, and I got the full range of comments, from compliments to insults. I loved it, which is ultimately all that really matters since it's my head. I used a 1" guard so my scalp was still covered to prevent sunburn but my hair was 100% out of the way. I'm currently deciding whether to try and grow it out now or buzz it again!

    I’ve had a buzz cut around 10 years ago, I really liked it! I think it really brings the face into focus, and that’s nice. At the moment I have longer hair, I’m beeing minimalist with my hair in this way: I have decided to have it braided in the same hairdo every day, like a signature look. This way I don’t have to think about how to do it every day, it’s easy to braid it in the morning and the braids do keep better than I thought.

      I looked it up on haare-spenden.de or something. But they work together with the deutsche Krebshilfe (German Cancer Aid) and other organizations and you send your hair to Rieswick& Partner, Hüpohl 5+7, D- 46342 Velen-Ramsdof (the wig company) after filling out the online form and receiving a number that you send with the hair. I can totally imagine that synthetic wigs are very uncomfortable, and I also know that these wigs that are made out of donated hair usually cost several thousand euros but patients don't have to pay for them (or only a small part) or get them through insurance which I think is great because wigs can make everyday life so much easier I imagine ☺.

    Hey Lia, I have just become one of your "Maximalists" I love this video and greatly admire you and have found your videos so freeing as i am going through my own minamilism journey. I lost my husband nearly 2 years ago to a brain tumour, like you he had cancer as a child, twice, ironically the treatment he had then was the cause of the tumour when he got older. We were very interested in minimalism as his surgery caused physical side effects which made movement very difficult. I have other disabilities myself so there was a lot we couldn't get done, with no help. I have shaved my hair every so often since i was 20, i find it very liberating and when i feel strong enough i do it again because it just feels like the real me. My husband LOVED my shaved head, we matched when he had his shaved for the surgeries. Since he passed i have been desperately trying to find direction in life and minimalism seems to help me get through this better than anything else i've seen and your videos are the most friendly and understandable i have found. I feel like they relate to what i need now to make something of my life alone and have some chance to heal. You are a true inspiration to me, Thank you again

    I just discovered this channel because I like minimalism, and discovered this video,I think it is amazing, I actually did the same thing myself a few months ago. I did it because I think it is very low maintenance but also I always like to make a statement, as women we are sometimes told by society that we can’t wear certain things or look certain way in order to be beautiful and I like to challenge that, to go against that. It has been great for me because not only I love the way it looks on me, but also I feel very comfortable never worrying about hairstyles or anything, but another Rea son I have really enjoyed it is because it is a step into normalizing this kind of looks for women, showing we don’t need to have amazing long hair in order to be beautiful or any other thing for that matter. I love to see other people in the other side of the world having the same mindset 😊 I am from Mexico by the way

    I have buzzed my hair a few times in my life, almost always after a big change or loss. I prefer my hair short now, not always buzzed, but the ease and minimalist aesthetic is something I prefer. I try not to let my hair define me and instead, focus more on who I am outside of appearance. I try and watch all of your videos, and I really enjoyed this one!

    Hi! Loved your point about shaving your hair, Im Maca from Argentina, and i did shaved like 3 times and it totally changed me... its simple, easy, fast, clean, and what I learned, it that when you look at the mirror you cant escape seeing your soul through your eyes, what ever you didnt deal before, its now the time... and apart from that, i dont use any more shampoo or what ever, just some water, feels like my hair its 100% natural fron the color to the touch when you feel it... great decision!!!

    I watched a lot of shaving videos and finally shaved my own head (well my bf did) about a month ago. I clicked the video because of the topic. I never seen anyone talking about how minimalistic the haircut is. Yes, it gives freedom as in empowerment but most of all it gave me freedom from decision fatigue, three shampoos and three different conditioners and from clogged drain. I was amazed how much time I was spending on my hair and on thinking about it 🤯

    I am not doing anything abnormal, though. I have had it super short multiple times in my life, so I already know short hair suits me.
    My reasons are medical. I won't get into that, but I simply need to focus on self-care and not hurting and aching from washing my long hair. I also need to concentrate on a healthy scalp, which will be so much easier without long hair.

    I have done this at the beginning of a summer and I loved it. Nobody else did, but my opinion is the one that matters. Of course I'll do it again someday, it's too good of a feeling to deprive myself of it. It grows back too quickly for me. My hairdresser tells me I could grow hair for a living. By the way, I think that short hair enhances your appearance. You have a lovely face.

    Beautiful! I loved having very short hair. But as I'm not good at styling (cutting my own hair is far beyond skill) having longer hair is more minimalist for me as I don't have to go to a hairdresser anymore. So now I grow my hair and I have a similar simple hairdo as you had. Now I can ask my mum to trim it two or three times a year. And to be honest, after 30 I stopped liking how I look with short hair. Old, too old. I also don't dye my hair and I'm little by little going grey but surprisingly this completely does not bother me. I love this video because it shows how we should put our comfort and wellbeing before concepts of female beauty.

    my best friend was diagnosed with cancer, to counter it she did radiotherapy. It worked, or so we thought. A few months after radio she was diagnosed with it again and it was worse. She now has stage four and is bordering terminal. This time, through she was reluctant she's doing chemo. We have set a date to shave her hair and she'll also be donating it. We expected her hair to start falling out after said date but it has already started. She's asked me to cut her hair because she isn't strong enough to do herself. I've never had short hair, I think it would look ugly on me nor have I cut someone else's hair thankfully a couple years back my dad had me shorten his hair but again that was a couple years ago and I don't remember what to do, so now I'm searching up people with long hair going bold or giving themselves a buzzcut so I can create a list of instructions and put my friends mind to ease.

    I used to shave my head. The first time was a complete impulse decision. It gets really hot where I live and I loved the convenience. I would let it grow out a little to a pixie cut, but normally rebuzzed it. I am trying to grow it out now since I didn't really have hair for 4 years. It's finally to my shoulders, but there's something addictive about shaving your head. I am often very tempted.

Maybe hair tie thats all.
