00:00 [MUSIC PLAYING]
00:02 Are you excited?
00:03 You know, I've never cut my hair short.
00:04 I know.
00:05 I'm getting my hair cut today.
00:07 I'm a little bit nervous because we're chopping it all off.
00:10 And I really wanted to do something different and out
00:13 of the normal Ashley Simpson that you always see.
00:17 I'm so nervous.
00:18 [MUSIC PLAYING]
00:21 Wow.
00:24 I don't know if it makes my stomach hurt.
00:27 This is a big deal.
00:29 Change is good.
00:30 Change is good.
00:31 Change is good.
00:32 Change is good.
00:33 [MUSIC PLAYING]
00:35 Wow.
00:36 Can you see it?
00:37 No, but I can feel it.
00:39 [MUSIC PLAYING]
00:42 Whoa, that's short.
00:44 You don't think that's too short?
00:45 No, Ashley.
00:47 Kiss me.
00:48 No, I do.
00:48 I do when you-- you know.
00:51 That's really short.
00:53 It's not.
00:55 I promise.
00:58 Mom is going to die when she comes out of here.
01:03 Does she not want you to do this?
01:05 I don't know.
01:06 I'm not nervous for myself so much.
01:09 I'm more nervous about what my mother is going to say
01:12 and about what my father is going to say.
01:14 My mom's here.
01:16 Do you want to trim this piece?
01:18 She makes me nervous.
01:20 Not yet, mom.
01:22 Maggie's here.
01:23 Mom, don't let Maggie in here.
01:25 You're the one that told me to bring her.
01:27 Oh, wow.
01:28 You really cut your hair.
01:30 Oh, my god, Ashley.
01:32 Where's your hair back here?
01:34 Like, oh, wow.
01:36 Mom doesn't like it.
01:37 You're upset.
01:39 I don't care.
01:39 It's your image, your hair, your thing.
01:41 I'm sure the label will have a fit,
01:43 because all the images of you out there are not this.
01:45 Your dad's going to have an absolute freaking cow.
01:49 This is what Stephanie meant by the big haircut.
01:51 Mom, you're just scaring me.
01:53 Ashley.
01:54 What?
01:55 It looks fine.
01:57 It's fine.
01:57 We don't like it.
01:58 What do you want me to do?
01:59 I wasn't in favor of you doing it to begin with,
02:01 so why would you expect me to, like, go crazy about it?
02:04 At the same time, I'm still a person, too,
02:06 and I can change.
02:08 Yeah.
02:08 I hope you don't have to go back and reshoot everything.
02:11 I was really upset by my mom's reaction.
02:13 It is a time where I am coming into my own
02:16 and want to make decisions on my own,
02:18 and cutting my hair is a part of, you know, finding myself.
02:21 [MUSIC PLAYING]
02:25 (SINGING) Just ask me.
02:28 To me, I like it.
02:34 I think it's fun.
02:35 Everybody needs to get used to it.
02:37 Yeah.
02:38 It's cute.
02:39 It's good.
02:40 It's different.
02:41 I'm so happy with my new look.
02:44 I think it completely fits me, and at the end of the day,
02:47 I think my mom honestly likes my hair now.
02:51 I think she realized that it is just hair.
02:54 That's cute.
02:57 Mom, I like it.
02:58 It's cute.
02:58 Honey, I like it, too.
02:59 You're beautiful.
03:01 No matter if you were bald or--
03:02 Hey, you know what?
03:03 [INTERPOSING VOICES]
03:05 OK, so on the hair, I think we should put some extensions in.
03:09 My mom and I had another conversation about my hair.
03:12 There was still the tension that she thought
03:14 I should be wearing extensions, and I
03:15 felt like I should just wear my hair short,
03:17 because that's who I am right now.
03:19 Why is hair such a big deal?
03:21 I only care about the artistic side.
03:23 My hair is short.
03:24 This is my hair.
03:25 And I love it.
03:26 Just ask me.
03:33 I love my hair short.
03:37 I actually-- I would even go shorter, but I'm not going to.
03:40 You think I should wear extensions?
03:41 I'm not saying anything else.
03:43 I already said my piece, so it is what it is.
03:46 You look great.
03:46 It'll be great.
03:48 I think my mom had a valid point,
03:50 but at the same time, I felt like she was overreacting,
03:53 because whenever it comes to music,
03:55 whether it's blonde hair, or black hair,
03:57 or short hair, or long hair, it's
03:59 an expression of who you are.
04:02 I want, like, everything that I'm doing right now to be,
04:04 like, I'm stepping up.
04:06 I can chop my hair off, but I can do this.
04:07 I'm going to step up.
04:08 I'm letting you make your choice.
04:10 I'm not going to control you or control your decisions.
04:14 I'm going to let you make your choices.
04:16 I love your hair.
04:19 Yeah.
04:21 Me too.
04:22 Jenny, I like it.
04:23 It just couldn't be any better.
04:25 I wouldn't fight for it the way I fought for it.
04:27 Oh, yes.
04:28 Oh, did you hear that?
