00:00Hey everybody, my name is Laya, and today we are going to chop all my hair off.
00:04I'm ready to get rid of it. Take it! Take it!
00:07So I'm 33 years old, and I'm the senior fashion editor here at Refinery29,
00:12and throughout the years, I've changed my hair more times than I can even keep track of.
00:16They're always tied to something, like, really major that happens in my life,
00:20like I'm graduating high school, I move to another country,
00:24or the most normal one, which is I broke up with a boyfriend,
00:28and I need to, like, change my life immediately.
00:31And so I'm ready to chop all my hair off again and take it back to the pixie cut,
00:35the haircut that started it all.
00:37I need somebody to cut my hair because my DIY days are long behind me.
00:41Hmm. Stylist, please! Oh, hello!
00:45I'm Dina. I heard you were getting a pixie haircut today.
00:48Yes, I am, and I would love it if you could do it!
00:50Awesome! Cool.
00:52So the first time I chopped all my hair off was when I was 13 years old,
00:55and that was because Gwen Stefani chopped all her hair off,
00:58and I was obsessed with her.
01:00It looked crazy because Gwen Stefani had, like, beautiful bleach blonde straight hair
01:06that was, like, a little punky,
01:08and my hair was really curly, and it looked like a microphone,
01:11and when I got to school the next day, all the kids called me Shampoodle,
01:15which was, like, this toy that you would squeeze,
01:18and foam would come out of its head,
01:20and I hated it.
01:26In the years since, I cut my hair,
01:29I dyed it different colors,
01:30I let it grow, I got bangs.
01:33During my last relationship, which was super tumultuous,
01:36I did so many changes in such a short amount of time.
01:39Where is it?
01:40Oh, my God!
01:41Ah!
01:42After that relationship ended,
01:45then my experimentation with my hair ended, too,
01:47and I'm just ready for something new,
01:49in a way commemorating that everything's going great
01:52by chopping my hair off.
01:53Are you ready?
01:54I'm ready.
01:57Oh, my God!
01:58Oh, my God!
02:00I feel like I remember who this person was before.
02:05All right, so, what do you think?
02:07I love it!
02:09You look incredible.
02:10This is so good.
02:11Thank you very much.
02:12I'm so excited.
02:13Yes.
02:17Thank you very much.
