I'm emotional. Wishing everyone a freedom like Sophia's and a connection like this couple's.

It brought tears to my eyes how gently and lovingly he finished shaving her head. What a gift for your partner to help facilitate growth and freedom.

Hair or no hair, you’re still beautiful because beauty starts within oneself. You are beautiful.

At 55 years old, I shaved my head about a month ago. I had wanted to for years, but the voice of fear always won out. The fear of rejection of my husband, the fear of how others would perceive me, and the fear of people thinking I wasn’t healthy (either physically or mentally). I finally did it, and I haven’t felt more unencumbered! I’ve never felt prettier, and I look in the mirror and see just me! I love it. Thank you for sharing your video. It was beautifully emotional, and I connected with it deeply.

You can literally SEE the rush of freeing and relief and embrace a few minutes after the first big chop he did. You knew you needed this, it's uncomfortable but you are doing the absolute best and are so lovingly connected to your body. It's so inspiring to witness

I only recently discovered your channel, but I knew right away that you were the one I had been looking for. I have been feeling lost for some time in my life. Lost between myself, my desires, people's expectations, society. I call it chaos. Chaos in me, in my head. Your experience evokes an emotional response in me. It's as if I'm finding something that's been waiting to be awakened, as if I'm beginning to understand myself. Words cannot describe how grateful I am to you for sharing your experience.

It was early 2020 and I had felt for some type that change was coming. I was living with my then fiance and I kept feeling like a big change was coming (for myself, let alone the world). I had flirted with the idea of shaving my head but little did I know that one day I would grab the sheers and do it then and there. I grew soooooo much from shaving my hair off. I learned about self confidence, I stopped wearing makeup and embraced my bare head and skin. I began the internal work, I then broke off my engagement (to the sweetest man I've known, but I knew we could no longer grow together), I moved out on my own and basically restarted my life again, new job, new home, new EVERYTHING. I always told myself in the growth phase that as my hair grew, I grew. I've since grown my hair out and it is mid back. I now love and cherish my hair when years prior I abused, bleached, stripped of its nutrients, ripped while brushing amongst other harmful things I did to my hair. and that was a representation of what I was doing to myself, my mind, my body and spirit. Hair is our spiritual antennas and our hair is an extension of ourselves. Never would I have felt the power of it, if I hadnt shaved it and learned to love myself without it. Now, when I was bald headed, the feeling of water or wind on my bald scalp was something so sensual, as in my senses had never felt that before with a full head of hair. It was as if I was experiencing the sense of touch for the first time. Getting ready in the morning was no longer a process but something quick, simple and hassle free! Sophia, you look like a bad ass warrior woman and I am so excited for this journey you are on

I lost my hair for a very different reason, chemo. I learned a lot about myself. Looking in the mirror took some getting used to. But in the end, it made me realize it was just hair. It grew back. Hair was not something I was, it was something I had. The chemo killed my hair follicles but it also kicked my cancer’s ass giving me more time to spend with those I love.

I respect any other humans desire to grow, no matter how that looks. I hope it brings you everything you deeply desire!

Seeing the shaven hair with the dead leaves that had fallen from trees, was really a special addition to the meaning as a whole. Whether it was intended or not, I found this really amazing. Great video.

I shaved my head last year in May for very similar reasons. I didn’t have a smooth experience making the transition. The emotions I felt were very overwhelming & I struggled to look at myself while having almost no hair. Slowly falling in love with my appearance that was so drastically different was the beautiful part. Proud of you for sharing!

This made me a little teary eyed. It’s so beautiful that love you guys share. Usually we hold on to hair so much because of what we want men to think of us. Not to say this is true for everyone but it does hold a lot of power in what others think of us. And it’s so beautiful to see him supporting you in your journey

this made me cry. I shaved my head 5 years ago after going through an intense inner transformation, and the words you said reminded me of my courage to follow my truth in spite of all the fears of being misunderstood.. Thank you sm for sharing this and the inspiration that oozes from it.

Absolutely Magical. 🦋

This made me so emotional, I had to hold back tears. You are wise beyond your years. I remember your vine days, it’s crazy to see how much you’ve grown and see how connected you are with yourself. It’s inspiring. You are beautiful, but you are also full of light. Thank you for sharing that light w us.

I’m so moved, this was quite beautiful to listen to and watch; and feel. Thank you for your openness and your vulnerability in sharing this, it was everything I also needed to experience right now. You are a true Beauty 💖🦋

"...you feel so much for others you refuse to forgive yourself for the pain you've caused them, carrying it like a weighted necklace" I feel so moved and seen, thank you for sharing this, it's opened space for so much transformation ❤

This is absolutely raw and beautiful. As someone who shaved their head three times , l love seeing others take the plunge mentally , physically and spiritually. Bless you and your journey 🪞🙏🏽💫

Congrats on chopping your hair off for spiritual reasons. You look amazing too! I chopped my hair off a few months ago after growing it out for over 6 years. I loved my hair so much, but I believed that it was holding trauma and in order for me to grow, it had to go. Like you, I instantly felt better and like I succeeded in shaving a layer off of myself. Everyone around me thought that I was crazy because I had such beautiful curly hair, but I didn’t care. I’ve since been going down a much better path and have started getting attuned in Reiki, been in therapy for 7ish months and have really been doing the inner work needed for me to get past things that used to hold me back. I’ve definitely become more confident too and have more of a I don’t care attitude. Thanks for sharing your story, it reminded me of why I chopped mine off 😊

the fact that so many of us would rather skydive, swim with sharks, do crazy things that we fear over cutting our hair off.. is so crazy. why are we so attached? why are the opinions of others so important to us? why do we treat it as a life or death situation? this video is beautiful and i hope i can reach a mental strength like this one day.

This is beautiful. You are beautiful. Your light shines through your very being. Thank you for teaching by just being. Bless you

Thank you for creating this, Sophia. Its been a cathartic experience to watch this. I personally shaved my head in September 2020-- thinking about I really don't know what. And I'm here, almost 2.5 years since that, and I'm older, wiser, have witnessed so much growth. So much of what you've said felt so deeply personal to me; the fear that engulfs us in a sea that only exists in our mind, and shaving my head was so necessary for me-- I was drowning in that sea of fear. Thank you for creating this. Thank you for documenting this. I feel so many things right now, but thank you so much.

I love this so much. After having super long hair my entire adult life, I shaved my head Aug 2022. I wanted to do it for so long but was so concerned with others opinions. Finally went for it and shed so much more than my hair. It's been wonderful. 💜💜

ugh the way i cried with you! so intimate as well, with your person supporting you every moment of the way. The way he shows you the clippers and how to do it. and the way he finishes it for you. Good for you. This is so pure. enjoy this new level of freedom.

This gave me all the feels. The genuinity was pouring from this video. Keep choosing discomfort. 💖🌱

This is the most beautifully raw and captivating creation of visuals, emotion, and love I’ve truly ever seen. It felt like watching a visualization of my soul. This is exactly everything I’ve never been able to verbally manifest. Thank you so much for your sharing this with the world. And welcome to this new chapter in your story.

2 weeks ago i made this same decision, the energy in my hair was blocking me in spirituals ways I was too consumed by my looks

I don’t know how, but I stumbled across your video all of a sudden and the title caught my eye. I am crying like a wee baby in my living room at 7am while my kids sleep. I’m sobbing quietly so they don’t hear me. This is the strongest I’ve ever felt everything happens for a reason. I have been debating with myself for almost 3 years on shaving my head because I have PCOS and it’s causing my hairline to recede. My hair has been what makes me me since I was a child. Thank you for putting yourself out there and thank you for growing your confidence and sharing that with others. Watching your video made my day.

So inspiring. I’ve been loc’ing my hair for months and hiding it. This gave me the push I needed. Thank you for showing us your truth ❤

I love this new chapter for you 🫶🏽 this video definitely made me tear up and realize what’s really important ❤️

When he finished and you were completely bald all I could think is that you looked like a warrior! You are beauty and you’re right we are complicated beings. This was a beautiful reminder for me to stop worrying about where I am on my life path and enjoy life

So beautiful and such a wise soul you are 💗 Aso I love the love you two share! So sweet and what a blessing 💗🌹

Your words are everything I believe and feel. Tomorrow I shave off my hair to honor my sister who is losing hers. But I also feel like it must go for me to move forward. Beautiful video. May you be blessed with love and life.

I’m 58. I shaved my head right before Christmas 😊. It’s my third time shaving my head. It feels so freeing if you’ve never done it before. It also feels really good to only need 2 products. Shampoo and a hair oil. Talk about saving money. 😊 Honey hush This is what a real wash and go is ❤️😜

This is beautiful. Choosing yourself will always be the answer. 💛

i only recently discovered your channel, but i've felt deeply connected with you since. my name is also sofia, i am 18 now, and this truly felt like a letter to myself as well. i've said for years that i will shave my head in this lifetime to show that i am not attached to my appearance or how those have perceived me. after watching this video i wanted to just go for it like you, but this is your story not mine. i'm still on the journey to loving and accepting my hair as it is, wild curls and all, and until i have achieved that i will not get rid of my hair. for getting rid of my hair now would be because i don't love my hair. thank you sophia. this has given me a new perspective. i am sending love your way and i can't wait to watch as you and your hair grow together :)

I just shaved my head last week because my hair was thinning from Lupus. And I feel empowered and way more confident than before. My hands were shaking uncontrollably and everything in me screamed to not do it - but I did. And I’m so glad I did. This video was beautiful.

I couldn’t help but just pause everything else around me and soak up every word you said. I started crying and felt so seen in what you were saying in your letter to yourself. Thank you for showing up. You’re amazing.

This was so, so beautiful. As someone who has gone through their own spiritual awakening in the last few years as well, taking off clothes that weren’t mine, unlearning, transforming, finding a new way to be in the world I can feel how monumental this moment was for you, and how brave you are to share it with the world. Thank you for your vulnerability, it was so incredible to witness this intimate moment for you and your partner. Love to both of you 💜

This video, letter, testimony, is a work of art. I love this. I found myself sitting on the bathroom floor before my shower , crying and shedding with you. Thank you for sharing this piece of your soul.

What a beautiful human being you are, to share this vulnerable and emotional moment with us, not just moment but a turning point but a movement.

Thank you for reminding us to always face fears and go beyond. To choose light over darkness. To fill ourselves with love & be true to ourselves. To ignore what other people think. To love. Thank you for being an inspiration.

Beautiful shape head and face. Pure spirit beauty. Can see the spiritual growth.

This was so beautifully said, done, expressed. Thank you for sharing your journey with the world. It's life changing.

So, so, so beautiful Sophia! Jist a beautiful soulful and blissful message and video. Thank you for sharing and letting us in to glimpse a bit of your wonderful journey. 🙏❤👏🎉

I didn’t know how much I needed this 🥲😭😭😭🫶🏼❤️👁️🫂🌒🌕🌘 deep gratitude, resonating so sweetly, tormentingly beautiful. Love and truth embodied. Perfectly imperfect.

Mi inspiración hacia ti es infinita. Yo me recorté así en Octubre 2020 y ha sido una de las experiencias más gratificantes que he tenido mis 25 años. Es increíble cómo nuestra alma se ve a través de los cambios que nos animamos a hacer aún con miedo 🤍

exactly how I felt, you're beautiful and you're letting in inner light be shown in its glory

the truth in this video is captivating, it's so much stronger then any form of identity, photos, looks. It's raw and somehow so much more powerful than anything else. Thank you for the reminder that we dont need to be anything, but the truth in this moment. And it may not matter, but you look stunning, pure & gorgeous with your head shaved! x

I’ve just found you and thought this was the most beautiful video. You look amazing and the reason behind the video was truly heartwarming ❤

Wow, this is very, very beautiful 😌 it’s so in line with my life right now and I wasn’t even looking for it but I’m so happy that I did!

Since the topic is so deep and I could say so much but there's not the space here, just know the meaning didn't escape me. I simply had to say, you are the literal twin of a young, your age, Hope Sandoval from Mazzy Star💖 Blessings to you and all✨

Coincidentally back in December I also shaved my very long hair at the age of 29. I resonate so much with everything you said. Recently as it's been growing out slowly I've been missing my long hair, and feel unattractive and sad because as of a few weeks ago I've been going through a break up and honestly a bit of a break down. I also think people thought my best friend and I were crazy when we shaved our heads. It has definitely opened my eyes to some truths about myself and those around me.

This video helped me finally make the choice to shave my hair. I feel so liberated. Thank you

Amen sister!!! Our bodys are fleeting and trust me, looks fade with time and our character shows through regardless of how we look. Keep it real! You have a beautiful shape head and clean, blemish free scalp -- so see, there's still some beauty there!

Inspiring beyond belief, in my journey to find complete wholeness this channel has been there for me too many times to count

Gorgeous😍! Good for you! I shaved my head ~20 yrs ago & it was one of the most powerful experiences of my life💯! My boyfriend (who's now my husband) helped me to shave my head then & it was such an intimate moment between us. I appreciate you sharing & reminding me of that💖. Looks like you got yourself a keeper too😉 "Only the strong go crazy. The weak just go along." -Assata Shakur

although ive only tapped into your channel a few times in the last year or so its incredibly beautiful to witness your journey. so proud of you. you are honestly an inspiration right now. 💙

I am not sure why I clicked on this video in my explore page but I am so glad I did. This is absolutely beautiful and so artistic! I hope you find the sense of renewal you were looking for. You are beautiful with and without hair. -from a random cosmetologist that just found such a glorious message in this. Our hair is so precious but it can also be a weight so may this bring lightness as I felt watching.

I stumbled upon your video and wow lots of emotions. I totally felt your feelings. It’s like I was there with you feeling the fears, pain, trauma…all of it. Inspirational! I need to look within. I too wanted to shave my head but I worry about what others would think. Thank you for revealing yourself and being vulnerable. Honestly, you are beautiful.

I resonated with this. Said so beautifully. Thank you for sharing this moment. ❤

Yesterday I was thinking deeply about parting with my connection to my hair and I was thinking about you and wondering “why hasn’t Sophia done this yet, it seems like her next step as well” and now here it is! You are such a beautiful soul ❤

Sophia, i watched this for the first time 5 months ago when you posted it, i was so in denial of all my inevitable changes, 5 months later I have blossomed into the person waiting for me to see that i am worthy and deserve love- today I have shaved my head and i thank you for this message

Thanks for sharing this moment. I make your words my own... 2 weeks ago I shaved my head and I can tell you that it was also a way of seeing my little self again, so far from me, so far from what we were... I took her hand again and look at my little self, with eyes full of tears of joy, for the reunion after so many years away being someone who was not me, but what others liked about me on the outside. I hug you tight and once again, thanks for sharing. Being authentic with yourself is being authentic with the world and is being at peace with the world again💜🌻💜🌻

Thank you for your vulnerability and sharing this journey with us. I’m personally going through my own journey and your words were right on time. I haven’t been able to cry in weeks and you’re calling voice and powerful words allowed my emotions to finally run free. Thank you

Wild woman, childlike heart, intellectual mind, old soul. You, Sophia, are my long lost soul sister. Thank you for sharing your beautiful being with me and the rest of the world. Grateful to the Universe for letting me find your page. From one Sofia to another. Pura Vida 🥰❤❤❤

This is one of the most beautiful pieces of writing i have come across. the stillness of the video yet the breathtaking narration ascended me to a whole new level. thank you for putting this out and sharing it with us, much love

A HUGE THANK YOU to the Universe for reflecting myself back to me through your words, your voice, YOUR BEAUTIFUL JOURNEY!!! To me, this is the purpose of life…TO BE!… & by BEing we help one another to embody the experience of the HUMAN actually BEING! What a joy!!! THANK YOU FOR BEING YOU!!! Peace 🫶🏽

This was really beautiful. Fear is something I've struggled with my whole life so this was very very inspiring and so beautiful... thank you

You are awakening 🙏🏼 let go of the ego (fear, doubt, guilt, shame, thoughts, mindful chatter) For those going through a similar spiritual awakening may you stay fearlessly on your spiritual path - it is truely rewarding ❤

beautiful video. I am 48 and i did shave my head 4 times in this life - always to leave things behind - always loosing wonderful long curly hair. Every time i did it felt strong and powerful - i did it only for ME. I think its a really strong transcendental practic - and nothing to call crazy. Greetinx from bavaria.

The part about trees really stood out to me. I’ve always had a love and connection for trees.

Wow! What a powerful and beautiful video to watch girl!!! Shivers &tears & this sense of freedom washing over me 💜💜 I have been deep in the trenches for a while now trying to find my way &this video reminds me that I am going through a rebirthing process and while it feels lonely and I feel lost, there's a deep and powerful transformation taking place 🙏 You are absolutely gorgeous inside and out with or without hair ✌️🫶❤️🙏 So grateful I found your channel during this time!!!!

You are so incredibly beautiful, and your letter to yourself is so powerful, true, naked and insperational. All the best to you

Needed to hear ALL of that. So beautiful. It resonated deep. Thank you for sharing your journey ❤

Thank you for sharing with us. This was divine and empowering. You're an incredible beautiful soul and truly a gift. I am so grateful to be part of the community and to have found your channel.✨💚

talk about Return! so powerful, beautiful, . thank you Sophia

I think it is so awesome and brave that you did this ! I also shaved my head a while back and it was the most freeing thing ever. And showering with a shaved head is orgasmic !

What a beautiful woman … May our Beloved Divine, invite you to become an evolved women as you blossom into your Divine Feminine Status as a Divine Empress! 🕊🌱🌺 … bless you and you incredible gift of beautiful words of introspection and wisdom. 🙏🏽

Beautiful words, thank you for sharing such a pure moment 🙏🏽🫶🏼

Thank you, I did this last night . Saw this today . Peace be forever with you

Wow. This video got me in all the feels!

Beautiful now without all that heavy hair. Much prettier with a shaved head. Love your new look. Stunning. Pretty smile ☺

so proud of you for honoring your inner calling.

I can just tell this suits your soul so well. Glad you made the leap, and hope it helps to free your authentic self :)

This was so beautiful. I don't normally comment on things but this experience was just as transforming and liberating for me too. Just wanted to say thank you for being you from the bottom of my heart! Sending you deep love! Keep being you in the face of anything and anyone. To be you without a shed of doubt while you stand before the world is the most powerful essence of the human spirit. I appreciate you.

thank you for sharing this. i sat and balled my eyes out. im with you, sister.

I shaved my head after the first round of chemo as soon as it started falling out. Just wanted to get it over with. 2nd time my hair fell out was after a near deadly illness, from all the stress on my body. It was scary, but I learned a WHOLE LOT about myself, and I love myself now because of what I learned. Blessings in disguise are often the most life changing ones.

didn't expect to start sobbing while watching this. you're a beautiful soul.

god this was so fucking beautiful. there are no words. I too have been wanting to shave my head for some time now and just as recently that feeling has been more prominent so thank you. thank you for inspiring me. lots of love and light.

sophia, this is a letter from me to you (in digital form, but from the bottom of my heart): thank you! thank you for being so inspiring in making the people who follow you, and hopefully beyond, appreciate the slow life more, let the ego rest and recognise love as the highest value, both in its own and interpersonal sense. i see you! and all that you share and teach through your videos. your words have made me think and moved me to tears. i hope more such poetic videos from you touch humanity. stay connected

You are such a beautiful and insprational soul❤️ Thank-you for continuing to share your life journey and transformation with us. You truly are a remarkable human being❤️

This video really touched my soul! Thank you so much sophia for being authentic and real. Thank you so much for being you!

Your soul is so beautiful. I'm incredibly inspired by you, your nature, and your connection to the world around you. Your videos are my medicine and comfort. What a powerful video!!

oohhh jesus you speak to me!! i feel every word as if its coming from my own... and you are just beautiful

I shed a tear in happiness for you. Cause you are me and we are one and it is a great joy feeling our energy rising from this act of bravery.

This is so beautiful, I cried🥺❤️🫶🏼

this brought me to tears i was feeling insecure about my bald head and you reminded me that my physical appearance is not something i should base my identity on. ily sm

I had to watch this twice because I was completely distracted by how gorgeous you are the first time, the second time I could actually listen to your beautiful voice and touching letter... I have really long hair I actually don't know how it got this long, since I never planned to grow it, but it did and I have not ever changed a thing about it in the last 10 or more years. Due to nearly always wearing it in braid I forgot how to deal with it When it's not thereby being constantly annoyed by it. Moreover, I am botherd by how much of my time I spent or rather need to care for it, now long it talkus to dry or wash. A few years ago I started to feel some urge to cut it off, not to change my hairstyle or anything actually, just away with it let it be gone. So I made the plan to donate it and try out a buzzcut. I would actually say that I do not care what other people think of me, especially in school, I dislike most of my fellow students and am happy to be the weird lesbian who is closer to her teachers than most her classmates, yet I can't help but wonder why cutting of my hair during school was never an option I'd go for... Nearly two years ago I made the plan "buzzcut after graduating" and now that is only a few monts away and while I am happy and excited and can't wait to do it, I wonder if I actually will because what if I won't be happy with that decision? What if, what if... In case anyone actually read this, thank you stranger on the internet, and is actually wondering what I did, I would be surprised not gonna live, but just remind me this comment exists by replying I guess I'll be happy to give an update haha Have a great month :)

Full of light and admire your journey, you are beautiful ♥️🙏🏼xx
