I've been cutting my hair for so long I forgot to mention the reason why I started cutting it myself, which was that I simply found a lot of stylists didn't know how to cut my hair type (very straight and wiry.)

Dang I thought you just went and got it cut by a stylist because it looks so nice! The length is super cute and suits you a lot! 😊

I really cannot picture Emmy with long hair.

As a cosmetologist I just wanna say you're holding the scissors correctly! Thats why its so comfortable. Ive always loved your haircut, now I love it even more!

That’s so rude for anyone to say you’d be prettier with a certain haircut. No! You are freakin gorgeous, as is. I’m so glad you made this video. It’s so different from your usual stuff and it’s cool to get a glimpse into the life of Emmy. I kinda want to try cutting my own hair now...

emmy this is why i love you!! 😭💖👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼 people ask me what’s the point of having long hair if i’m a hijabi. well i love my long black hair and i don’t care if the whole world doesn’t get to see it - it makes me feel beautiful and strong. it’s for me 💖 you truly rock the hell out of short hair 😍👏🏼👏🏼

I have always LOVED your hair. I can't believe you cut it on your own. I have been cutting my own for years as well....and color. Saves tons of money and actually I like it just as well if not better. BUT...mine is curly so it's pretty forgiving.

The ''do what you want'' attitude with your hair is something I've been working on lately. I've wanted purple hair for YEARS and now I have it :D

Emmy omfg!! This video was so needed, I recently cut my own hair in the bathroom after months of growing it out and was happy with my choice until suddenly i started doubting whether or not it made me less pretty.... and this video reminded me that it doesnt matter!!!! its more about being you. thank you!!

*I used to cut my own hair for years!* People were always impressed with how put together it seemed for just chopping it myself, but it really wasn't too hard, since I just keep it straight and shoulder-length. Emmy's style seems like it would take much more skill! Man, is there anything she can't do? Lol.

I can't picture emmy with long hair! Definatelty make a video on it

I love the sound of scissors cutting through hair

What you said about taking ownership of your own head really resonated with me. Last September, after a couple of decades of dealing with a receding hairline and periodically letting my hair grow too long out of laziness, I finally shaved my head and it was one of the best decisions I've ever made, so much less stress. Although, I may have to look into that sunscreen you mentioned. While it's been cold, I've been able to get away with wearing a beanie whenever I go out, but that's not going to work too well in the middle of the summer. "💇🏻‍♀️

You should start a new series bathroom chats: )

me:"Emmy inspired me" me:cuts own hair me: looks in mirror "screams of horror"

Your hair fits your bubbly personality, It looks good on you 😁. I like these types of videos, although I like all your videos.

You would be good at self-help and motivational videos! I always love when you sprinkle in a bit of wisdom here and there in your videos.

We're getting to know our queen Emmy better!! I love this video!!!!!

Thank you for this, and for your words of wisdom ❤ for years my depression manifested in not looking after myself, and my hair suffered. I had thick dreadlocks at the back that I hid by having my hair tied up 24/7, and suffered from migraines because of them. I was terrified to go to a professional, and heck, was terrified to even tell my loved ones how bad it had gotten. A year ago I grabbed a pair of scissors and took control of my own hair. Now have a very similar style to you. I love the freedom.

I totally agree with your philosophy on hair! I love your hair and I can’t believe people say you should grow it out long. It fits your personality. As you can tell from my picture, I do what I want with my hair too! My husband doesn’t get a vote! It is a huge pet peeve of mine when I hear women say that they’d love to cut their hair but their husbands like it long! It is YOUR hair, not your husbands and long hair doesn’t always look good on everyone, especially as you age. I am 47 and have a pink pixie cut and it makes me happy! I get so many nice complements from strangers about how they love my hair, and wish they had the courage to do something like this. It’s hair. Do it. If you don’t like it, it can always be dyed back, fade or grow. Own your style, own your hair! Hallelujah Emmy!

You know, as a hair dresser I just have to commend you! I mean you hold your shears correctly and you follow your fingers as a guide with an angle.. I mean I wouldn't normally recommend this lol but I am thoroughly impressed! 👏

0:22 Wait? (paused) Why step down to a ‘good’ haircut when you’ve already reached perfection? 🤔😉 ... on to the rest of the video, Blessings ~ “💇🏻‍♀️ “

I think the message of this video is so wonderful. I was definitely brought up with the idea that I wouldn't be the most beautiful version of myself without my long hair, and for years, it stopped me from cutting it. Even though having to care for long hair took up *so* much of my time and money, and made me feel really unhappy. The happiest moments were when I taught myself intricate braiding styles, and I could braid it all on top of my head and have it neat and out of the way. Eventually I found the courage to have it cut - but I had a hard time finding a hair dresser willing to go from waist length to shoulder length. They kept telling me over and over that I would regret my decision. That made me feel like I was making a big mistake, and again, that I wouldn't be the most beautiful version of myself without my blanket of hair. So I got an asymmetrical cut which was still really long, and walked out of the barber's feeling so unhappy. It made me feel like, maybe I should just give up and accept my place in life. Women have long hair, or fail to have long hair. In the following years, it became the longest it had been so far, because I couldn't bring myself to go to the hairdresser's again. And I started getting more and more depressed about caring for my hair, and so one day just asked my husband to chop it all off. He was extremely hesitant and went slow, but with every inch that feel away, I felt physically lighter. And most importantly - realized I *did* look cute with my hair at any length! Since then, I've had it in all sorts of short styles, even shaved to a couple of millimeters. I've never been happier with my hair! 😊 So thank you for sharing such a wise stance on hair, Emmy. I think it's such an important message for young women.

In my past I had been made to feel guilty when hairdressers heard that I cut my own hair. But I really HATE strangers touching me so now I just take care of it completely by myself and I’m ok with it. My hair, their opinions are irrelevant.

I love seeing that you’re branching out with your videos 😊 I love all your kitchen videos but it’s nice to see one of your many different sides ❤️

As a hairstylist I can say you do a great job, looks great! And bonus points for holding your shears properly! A lot of people use the middle finger, but you are supposed to use your ring finger 😉

This is why I love you so much! You are so unique and rock your own look! I’ve cut my own hair my whole life and now I am a professional hair dresser and I encourage everyone to cut their own hair at some point in their lives because it is so liberating and empowering!

I think your hairstyle is awesome! It is extra special that you make it the way you like it yourself. Just like your recipes, it’s Emmymade! 💇

I always loved your hair it really suits you, Awesome vid Emmy.

Wow. That was so unexpectedly empowering.

Okay, I am LOVING the vulnerable side of you with these diy personal videos!

I remember Emmy saying early on she cut her own hair and I have been waiting for this video for years! I'm a hairstylist and I think Emmy does a great job. Holding the shears with your ring finger and pinky on the tang is the proper way! For her hair texture and how she styles it, she can benefit from the choppy texture. Home haircuts won't work for everyone, but if you can make it work for you, and like what you get, go for it! Go Emmy!

I used to have crazy long hair and I thought it was so perfect for me. And then I got a whopping 1 1/2 feet off (yes. That's right) and whoa, short hair is way more perfect for me! I Keep it at my shoulders, maybe a little shorter, and it just fits my personality! I love it :) You should always love you, because who cares what others think? They don't know you like you do. 💇🏻‍♀️

I'm a bloke. I bought hair clippers & attachments when I was 23. I'm 49 now. Never been to a barbers since :)

I CANT TELL YOU HOW MUCH YOUR CUTTING NOISES MADE ME SMILE. Its the epitome of satisfaction.

Hi Emmy! I shaved my head in February and it was the most liberating thing I’ve done my life. I no longer feel controlled or defined by my hair. ☺️

I had 12 inches cut from my hair. I donated it. I love my short hair. I’ll never go back long. Love your hair!

*goes to get haircut and asks for the “emmy”* 😍😍😍

I love how you said it: love yourself!! Thanks for the positive image you are projecting!! You are a great person and I love your authenticity!!

Im so in love with how you see LIFE. Your body, your food, your family, your relationships, your values. So amazing!

Excellent! I’ve cut my own hair for almost 20 years and the styles I have had are very current but modest. I had a bad salon experience and looked like I got my head stuck in fan blades and then decided to figure it out myself! Have saved THOUSANDS of dollars. Yay Emmy!!!

Hi Emmy! Love ur hair it matches ur personality. 😁💇✂

I have also been cutting my hair for years and have even been complimented by professional in how wonderful it looks. Cutting your own hair is pure freedom. Once you get over the fear of it, you realize that the possibilities are endless. Good job emmy. Your hair is awesome!!

Emmy, I absolutely LOVE your hair and your reasons for cutting it yourself, and having it short. I also cut my own hair for the same reasons. I used to keep my hair quite long because that's how my husband and five sons and mother liked it, but one day about six years ago, I started to think about how I might actually like my hair, and it's been no longer than shoulder length ever since. Most often, it's in a pixie cut, because that's what I like best. Though my husband and sons tell me they wish I would grow it out again, I gently tell them the same thing you say, "It's MY hair and I should be the one to like it no matter what." By the way, one of your best features are your lovely "big lips" and I find your looks and most of all your personality absolutely enchanting! Blessings - Crystal

I love your haircut! It’s perfectly you! 💇🏻‍♀️

Miss Emmy you're beautiful the way you are you don't have to change anything about yourself becuse that's what we love about you.💖💖💖💖💖💖💖💖

Emmy I'm loving these little bathroom chats (sounded better in my head). I do really admire your love of self and sticking with what makes you truly happy. Lots to learn from! Please please keep this going. Your energy is amazing.

'my beautiful lovelies' gets me every time!!!! how CUTE!!!!

I couldn't even imagine you with any other hair!!! I've always loved your hairstyle! :)

You have the cutest hair so I say keep on trucking with the home haircuts!!!

I love the way your hair looks. I have no idea what you look like with long hair, but this suits you beautifully. I also love your attitude about it being "just hair," that it'll grow back, and to just be true to yourself.

Yesss we ( my daughter son and I ) would love to see a wig/weave video. I started cutting my own hair about 8 months ago and am so happy doing it. I feel empowered and in control of how it will look. My children and I love your videos we've been binge watching your videos for about a month. My daughter's comments while warching are so funny. "She's so cute" "she's going to eat that?" She's even tried to start describing food the way you do. Lol. So glad we found your channel. ♥️♥️

Warning....do not try this at home....you are NOT Emmy 😆😆

And here All this time I thought you went to some trendy place and got expensive hair cuts! I cut my hair too, same story as you, thick coarse hair, never once have I ever gotten the hair style I wanted, so why not? Like you said, it grows back.

I totally agree with the therapeutic nature of taking control of your own hair. I do it with coloring though and the best part is that it’s hard to mess up and if you do, you can always cover it with a darker dye.

It's a sign!!!!! I been wanting to cut my hair as short like yours maybe shorter but been going back and forth. Love how you can be you and you are so true.

Hey emmi love you vids so much and love you as a person keep up the good work❤️❤️😍😍😘😘

I a night showerer too. I've found there aren't many of us 😅

I think you are amazing and are an excellent example of how to be proud of yourself without being full of yourself. Your videos are so entertaining and educational.

Cutting your own hair is good practice. I usually do my own cutting aswell as my sons. So i absolutely relate to this video so much and your words of encoragement and seeing you do this yourself is all so inspiring. Thank you for being you! ❤

Woot woot EMMY time

Love short hair and especially on you!! Have always thought your hair is so badass

This is one of my favourite Emmy videos. I constantly come back to it whenever I need it. Just good vibes ❤️❤️

I absolutely love your hair, I love the way you style yourself and the way you carry yourself. You are a beautiful person, inside and out, and you have an amazing family. I can't believe anyone would tell you otherwise!

jeez emmy you tryna put my fellow stylists outta business?? just kidding!😂 ive been a stylist for a couple years now and when i was 13/14 i would cut my own hair. kudos to you for cutting your hair so well!

YES WIG VID

I think it's interesting how people feel like they can just offer such personal comments on a person's hair, or whatever...as in the comment on you looking better with longer hair. I think it's rude for people to make such personal comments. I'm glad that their comments don't seem to phase you. And, the fact that you know what you like makes all the difference. Your confidence in yourself is a great encouragement to those of us that are more affected by another's rude comments on our personal preferences. Love all of your videos and look forward to them!

i just want to say thank you Emmy!! I’m watching this before bed after a really really bad day and I’ve been feeling really down about my looks. I’m in high school right now so it’s hard not to focus on these little things, but listening to your calming words makes me feel a lot better! Love your videos and thank you!!

Hi, just wanted to say i enjoy and am constantly amazed by your creativity and kindess. Xox hope you see this

I've never been brave enough to cut my own hair,, but I also struggle finding a hairstylist who can handle my mane,, long thick and super straight. I get you 💇

I come back to this video from time to time when I need a confidence booster. Believe it or not, you’ve actually inspired me a lot to not care what others think. Thank you so much Emmy!

I love your (lack of a better phrase) YOLO attitude for your hair. It fits your personality great. :D

Note: Emmy says do what you want, but don't be sending her complaints when you screw up your hair!

I love your hair always have

Your hair looks so amazing !!! Basically short hair suits you so much and really goes with their personality because you said do what makes you happy

I am a hairstylist, love your technique but what I love most is your attitude about your hair!

Hey Emmy! Just wondering, What is your professional & educational background? You sound like a therapist or social worker by training. Are videos your side hussle or your main job?

Emmy: I've never seen anime nor have I ever read a manga Weebs: *GAAAASP* 😨😱

I’m a licensed hair stylist and had no idea you cut your own! I’ve always loved the shape and casual texture. Normally I’d tell ppl not to do their own, but you go right ahead, lol, you’re killing it!

I've been cutting my own hair for the past couple years as well. It is awesome to have creative freedom over your own hair! You are seriously so cool.

Actually, I think that the short hair compliments your face better than long hair would. Not that it matters. Everyone should do what they want.

I cut my own hair too🤣😘

Just wanted to say as a hairstylist, I'm impressed you figured out how to hold your shears correctly on your own! I held them wrong until I went to cosmetology school. I still cut my own hair as well, it's such an empowering feeling!

I love the message behind this! Thanks for being you Emmy

I cut my own hair all the time. The weird thing is how empowered you feel after ...good or bad.

Emmy, if you got anymore beautiful, the internet would break :)

I love learning about you Emmy! Congrats on 1 million too! Idk when you hit it but I’m so happy for you, I’ve been watching your videos for years.

I love how honest you were in this video... I love it

Your just beautiful anyways Emmy, you could never cut your hair and still be gorgeous!

“💇🏻‍♀️”! :P

Short hair totally suits you. I love the way you do it. It’s so cute and is perfect for you.

I love how upbeat she is and her 'this is me' attitude Emmy is honestly the coolest oml

I have long hair and i'm beautiful :)

That length suits you so well. Long hair is overrated ☝️

I’m a professional hairstylist and the way you hold your shears is actually the proper way! Good job Emmy!

Emmy, I've been watching your videos pretty much since the beginning of your channel when it started, and I stumbled upon this video. Your personality has always been so radiant and I love how empowering/confident you are. Love the fact of how much respect you have for yourself (something I struggle with). I've always loved watching your videos, thank you and hello from Toronto~!

Can you cut my hair too? You can use the same golf club as my old barber!

Your hair in the beginning of the video looks like a businesswoman.

YES YES YES! I have pretty short hair and I swear I'm making this my next hairstyle! Always thought your hair was on fleek, Emmy. You're amazing!

I'm loving these types of videos. Thanks Emmy
