00:00My name is Maureen and I'm 16 years old and today I'm going to be buzzing off all of my
00:04hair.
00:05I want to cut my hair because I think people are starting to define me by my hair.
00:09I have the longest hair in my friend group.
00:12People would be like, oh yeah, she's my friend, you know, the one with the really long hair.
00:16Like, am I nice? Am I mean? Just tell me something about my personality.
00:20Another reason is my mom rocked the short hair and it's probably the best hairstyle she's ever had.
00:25I want to donate my hair because this year my cousin and my aunt got cancer.
00:34Hi, Remedy, and hi, Aunt Barbara, I love you and I want to make a difference and I want to
00:42show them that I support them.
00:44Okay, so I'm ready. Now I just need someone to cut my hair.
00:49I asked for someone to cut my hair, not my sister. What are you doing here?
00:52Here. Pray for me.
00:56Since she's donating her hair, we're going to just brush through it and put it in ponytails
01:01because donation programs don't take braids anymore for the most part.
01:04Oh.
01:09We're still sectioning it off to cut. It's our mom on the phone.
01:13Hi, mom. I'm fine, mom.
01:17It's ready to get snipped.
01:19How are you feeling, baby, baby?
01:21Nervous.
01:22Really?
01:23We're going to go in for it.
01:24I'm not like nervous because of the haircut. I'm nervous because you're the one cutting my hair.
01:28Oh.
01:29I'm going in for it. There's no way back.
01:31This is it.
01:39Oh, my gosh. You look like Wolverine.
01:47Oh, you don't even want to know what the back of your head looks like right now.
01:59I'm going to cry.
02:00Now I'm good. Wow.
02:04That's a big difference.
02:09Yeah.
02:10Well, this is all I know how to do, so good luck.
02:14What am I supposed to do with this hair?
02:16I'm not going to buzz my own hair.
02:17I guess I need a stylist.
02:19Oh, my God.
02:19What happened to our hair?
02:21Hey, I'm Dina. I'm a hairstylist.
02:22Man, I need to stab my hands more.
02:25So we're going to go in and buzz everything off?
02:27Yes.
02:28Sounds good. Let's get started.
02:31Are you ready?
02:32Yeah.
02:34Okay, this feels so weird.
02:46I feel...
02:48I feel a little nervous.
02:49I feel a little nervous because I'm thinking about dandruff right now.
02:58All right, I'm going to take it all down now.
03:01I'm going to take it all down.
03:10I'm going to take it all down now.
03:28I'm totally freaking out right now.
03:30It's time to see a mirror, right?
03:36Oh my gosh, okay.
03:42I might not ever grow my hair back again.
03:45Like, I think I'm rocking it.
03:46I mean, I don't mean to gloat, but choo-choo.
03:50It looks so different.
03:51It's so, are you gonna play with my hair now?
03:55No, there's nothing to play with.
04:00I love this look.
04:01I think this might be my favorite look.
04:04I might not ever go back to long hair.
04:06I'm gonna let it grow in, and then after that,
04:09maybe buzz it again, we'll see.
04:11Thank you so much for watching,
04:12and thank you to everyone who supports me.
04:14Love you.
