0:02 [Music] [Music] for you know I felt boring for a while now not like
1:05 boring on the inside of course but boring on the outside when I look
1:09 in the mirror nothing excites me and I'm kind of sick of it I
1:18 think it's time for a haircut I
1:32 think it would be irresponsible to proceed without
1:34 a little bit of History I present to you Emma Chamberlain's hair history let's
1:39 begin starting with the year 2019 my hair was kind of gorgeous to be honest
1:44 I just had Natural Healthy long brown hair moving on first half of 2020 I
1:53 decided to do something a little bit weird I cut my hair a bit shorter
1:58 as you can see here I B Bally split my hair like this and dyed
2:02 this part blonde and this part dark brown I I respect the risk
2:14 that I took I can find the beauty in that uh the sentiment behind
2:20 this hairstyle but I I cannot find the beauty in the hairstyle itself I think
2:24 in order for your style and personality to evolve you must make mistakes
2:29 this this is one of my mistakes the second half of 2020 I went full platinum
2:35 blonde and I realized why people always say blondes have more fun because I did
2:40 have a lot of fun as a blonde until all of my hair started breaking
2:44 off when you bleach your hair over and over and over again naturally
2:48 your hair will get brittle and it will start to break I realized okay I
2:51 think that my time as a platinum blonde girl has to come to an end
2:55 otherwise I'm not going to have any hair left uh my hair is falling
2:58 out so that takes us to 2021 I colored my hair back to Brown
3:04 and I was kind of in a healing phase like my hair was just straw
3:08 like brittle and now brown I mean after this experience I was like I'm
3:16 probably never going to bleach my hair
3:17 again then I really dedicated myself to growing
3:20 my hair out getting it back to a healthy place and so for quite
3:23 a while that's what I was doing until I threw that all to the wind
3:27 and said you know what let's go back to blonde why not blondes have
3:33 more fun come on we miss being blonde it was so much fun when we
3:37 were blonde let's go back back back but this time let's do a blonde
3:43 bob I was reliving my blonde era from years prior I sort of was
3:49 on a high from having so much fun with my hair I love this haircut
3:54 so much I was having so much fun with it that I was like you know
3:56 what I'm going to do something weird I'm going to do something weird then
4:18 I dyed it orange I I never really figured out if I loved this there
4:22 would be moments where it looked really really good like I'd be like wow
4:26 this is really cool and then there'd
4:27 be moments where it looked absolutely hideous
4:29 and I didn't want to go outside but from here I was like you
4:32 know what it makes sense for me to just go back to Brown so I
4:36 was on a trip in France and I decided last minute you know what
4:40 I'm going to dye it back to Brown there's a reason why people say not
4:44 to make a big hair change with a new hair stylist because bad things
4:48 can happen and bad things did happen when I tried to go from Orange
4:53 to Brown as you can see that's not brown hair that's black hair let
5:01 me tell you what happened to make a long story short I scheduled an appointment
5:04 with a hair stylist I had them come to my hotel room to die
5:07 my hair brown I thought it'd be like a quick easy little appointment they'd come
5:11 to my hotel slap some brown hair dye on my hair 5 10 minutes would
5:17 go by I'd rinse it out and I'd have brown hair again that's what I thought
5:20 would happen the hair stylist puts the dye on my hair we let it
5:24 sit for 20 something minutes we rinse it out and my hair is black black
5:29 black my eyebrows are light brown um so black hair looks a little off
5:35 on me and I started to freak out and so I was talking to this hair
5:39 stylist and I was like hey maybe we could get some of this black hair
5:43 dye out I wanted Brown I didn't want black puts this product in my hair
5:48 that's a mystery to me and leaves my hotel room to get something else
5:51 from the car while he was gone I decided to look at the bottle
5:54 of what he put in my hair and I saw I think hydrogen peroxide
5:59 or something and and I was like I don't think that that would be good
6:02 to put on bleached hair then I looked down at my hair to see
6:06 if it was working and clumps started coming out I was like okay my hair
6:12 is falling out I get in the shower start scrubbing it out chunks
6:15 of my hair are falling out oh[ __] literally all my hair is falling out
6:19 I was left with broken Shaggy short black hair now that experience was so
6:29 atic that from then I was like I'm really never doing anything to my hair
6:33 again and I dedicated myself in my life to having healthy hair and from there
6:41 we have me [Music] today I am really bad at styling long hair
6:49 and so I end up just putting my hair up I'll put it
6:52 in a clip I'll put it in a ponytail I'll put it in a bun
6:56 and at that point why even have long hair what's the point when I put
6:59 on outfit I want it to feel like a full vision the hair the nails
7:05 the makeup and my hair right now is so lackluster to me it just
7:09 doesn't inspire me when I'm getting dressed
7:11 in the morning I don't know there's something
7:13 energizing about having a fun haircut I plan to get sort of a risky
7:18 haircut I want to get something ballsy
7:20 something that people might not like Pinterest
7:27 is an overwhelming space I spent an ungodly amount of time on Pinterest trying
7:33 to figure out what the[ __] I'm going to do with my hair I managed
7:36 to narrow it down to six option number one really just cut all my hair
7:41 off this is a frightening haircut to get I might not like how I
7:45 look I like how Winona Ryder looks in this photo can I pull this off
7:50 without wearing makeup I don't know I don't wear makeup every day so I need
7:54 to feel confident in my haircut with or without makeup this next one I
7:59 mean I love being blonde the only thing is I feel like I've done something
8:03 similar to this before like when I did my platinum blonde bob that feels
8:10 kind of similar to this now I could do a short Shaggy little fun color
8:17 like do a deep red or a deep orange the last time I did
8:21 it I had good days and bad days with it you know styling red orange
8:25 hair is really challenging I don't know I do like that haircut though next
8:32 I really like this honestly like this is really exciting to me this is less
8:37 scary to me than this because it's just less short I've actually tried
8:41 on a wig almost exactly like this before and I really loved it I feel
8:45 better about this than this and yeah it's not the right time it's too
8:50 much risk you know I also definitely don't want to do this like I've done
8:54 the orange before and it's not fun to style it well now we've narrowed
8:58 down to four this one I like because the most unique haircut out of all
9:02 of these the only problem with this is like is it trendy in the sense
9:05 that it's not Timeless like it's something that I'll look back on like my half
9:09 Brown half blonde hair and be like oh my God that's so cringe I
9:12 don't know and then there's this which
9:14 I love this one's scary though too because
9:17 she has dark eyeliner on which I feel like makes this look really good without
9:22 makeup I'm afraid I'm afraid of that one but I[ __] love this but I
9:26 might just love this image you would think by now I would have learned
9:31 my lesson Emma we probably shouldn't do anything crazy to our hair anymore we've
9:36 had a lot of traumatic events I don't know like maybe it's just time
9:39 to let it grow out and get
9:42 really healthy again well unfortunately sometimes I can
9:46 get really excited about an idea to a point where I don't critically think
9:52 about whether it's a good idea or not and that might very well be happening
9:57 with this haircut idea honestly I could benefit from a second third fourth fifth
10:02 opinion I texted my parents of course in a group chat and I said imagine
10:07 me with this do you love that or do you hate that be honest
10:10 my mom said OMG I had that exact photo in my hair collection LOL so
10:15 obviously my mom loves it I said no way lol well I'm going to[ __]
10:19 do it that color too I was anxiously awaiting a response from my dad
10:23 and then he proceeded to just let me know that um he's going surfing
10:31 next I sent it to my stylist Jerry we talk about hair and makeup
10:36 and clothes all the time I trust his opinion immensely I sent it to him
10:43 and I said imagine me with this and he said is this a joke
10:47 because I like it Jared is a harsh critic the fact that he likes
10:51 this haircut is it's pretty good and then last but not least I had
10:56 to ask a straight boy my age I want to do this the boy did
11:03 not respond immediately so I decided to help paint the picture for him a little
11:08 bit better and he said I love it and I said do you actually
11:12 and he said so cool that's sick I feel like I'm marrying this haircut
11:17 and right now I'm asking the people in my life to speak now or forever
11:22 hold their peace because I am getting
11:23 this[ __] haircut tomorrow and if they don't
11:26 agree with it then this is so[ __] up [Music] I don't know if I'll
12:16 ever have long hair again I think I'm going to be addicted to this I
12:19 can imagine myself going shorter and being like how much can I push it
12:23 yeah [Music] the [Music] [Applause] [Applause] [Music]
13:11 [Applause] oh oh [Music] don't come home
