Yeah, this is one of my all-time favorite long-hair videos and all-time favorite haircut videos. She really did a wonderful jobs showing off all of that hair and letting it swing and move. The haircolor, length, and thickness were great (although the ends weren't as blunt as I like), and she wore some cute outfits.
Her cut was tragic, but also very real and very emotional, which I love to see. She was supposedly 18, and I suspect at some level she thought she should look more "mature and sophisticated." I love this sort of coming-of-age makeover where the girl is very anxious and cries. The tears are a natural catharsis from letting go of something so precious. The swingy shoulder-length haircut was really cute, and she seemed to enjoy feeling it move.
IMO the beauty and sexiness of long-hair cutting is under-appreciated by most long-hair lovers. Getting the big chop is as much part of the long hair experience as growing it out. Given that virtually all long-haired ladies eventually cut, why not celebrate the bittersweet aspects of it: the anticipation, the nervousness, sometimes the tears, the sense of shock when she runs her hands through the short hair, the dramatic life changes often marked with hair cutting (graduation, marriage, kids, divorce)? Once those scissors close, particularly on beyond-hip-length hair, there is likely no chance of ever going back to those lengths. So the cutting of long hair is a very powerful, intimate symbol of coming-of-age or a life change.
Many of us love to see braids and buns and different styles with long hair, and cutting the hair into a short bob or even a crop is the ultimate, irreversible styling session that takes final advantage of the versatility of long hair. In addition, the delicate fleeting beauty of long hair is shown off very dramatically through seeing it shorn off and then seeing the woman without it.
Enjoying a good cut does not hurt one's long-hair credentials or devotion. Even the great George Michael did some wonderful long-to-short cuts, including shearing the hair of Guiness-record-holder Cindy Christian from floor-length to shoulderblade length.
IMO Trisha's video is a great long-hair video but also a pretty good video to ease long-hair fans into appreciating cutting. It can be hard to see her cry so much, but the emotion shows how much she loved and appreciated her long hair and can reflect the emotions of a long-hair lover at seeing her hair taken. And the end-result of a shoulder-length cut still has some of the attractiveness of long hair. I highly recommend this video.
