00:00Are you sure?
00:01Yes.
00:01Okay.
00:02You just made me so nervous.
00:04Hi, my name is Magel and welcome to Hair Me Out.
00:06So I've been thinking about shaving my hair on this side for about three months now.
00:11I've done it before.
00:12It was actually pretty small, just like right here.
00:15So this time I wanted to shave a larger section of my head that's more noticeable.
00:20Even though I'm shaving more hair, I'm less nervous about it.
00:23The older I get and the more comfortable I become with myself, I like to try different
00:27things.
00:28I'm always wearing crazy makeup looks.
00:31You would think that if you're going to get your hair shaved that you would want to go
00:34to a professional.
00:35It can go poorly very quickly.
00:37But I'm not going to a professional.
00:39I'm going to have my friend shave my hair for me.
00:42Anthony will be shaving my hair today.
00:44I was like, I trust you and I'm really excited for him to start.
01:06Are you sure?
01:07Yes.
01:08Okay.
01:08You just made me so nervous.
01:28When I was back in Michigan, that's when I was worried about what people were going to
01:32say, if my parents and my family would like it.
01:35Being in New York, it's a perfect environment to try new hairstyles without any judgment.
01:39I can just focus on pretty much getting a haircut that I want to get.
01:47I'm going to be honest, I can't believe you let me do this.
02:09It's like a two-year-old took some scissors to my head.
02:26As a woman and a South Asian woman, there's a lot of associations with femininity.
02:31To have long, black, beautiful hair.
02:34You don't dye your hair, you don't shave your hair, you keep it long.
02:38To some people, having long, black hair is seen as better and more valuable, and it can
02:43make making a bigger visual change a little bit more difficult, but I definitely think
02:48that if you want to cut your hair, just go ahead and do it.
02:51I mean, hair is hair, it will grow back.
03:09Wow.
03:10Hey, this is better than I thought.
03:13Oh, okay.
03:14Wow.
03:14You did a great job, Anthony.
03:18It's like nothing ever happened.
03:20I mean, if you want it back, I could try to stick this back on.
03:25It looks great.
03:38I know that this haircut isn't for everybody, but I personally love the way it turned out.
03:44I am not the kind of person to shy away from something bold, and at the end of the day,
03:47hair is just hair.
03:48I finally feel like myself after shaving off half my hair.
03:52It must have been condition I'm so grateful enough it'll be here.
03:52I know that astronauts just sit down and work now and continue prior.
03:53I'm afraid, that I'm과�ner, and this is when you're working out a little of theandy hair.
03:53I've got a little bit of normal hair, but look my hair.
03:54You've learned that information, that's all I think.
