This Video of a Woman Shaving Her Head Will Make You Feel All the Feels

Rebecca Brown suffers from trichotillomania, along with 2 to 4 percent of the population, which involves the continuous urge to pull out body hair. In honor of "new year, new me," Brown posted an emotional video of herself shaving her head on her YouTube channel TrichJournal.

She starts off by explaining what her condition is and then further shows the permanent damage of some areas on her head that won't even grow back for another year. "It's either shave my hair or lose my hair. I am fed up by being triggered and tortured by the hair on my head," she says. "I don't really feel I have any other option." Although this is not the first time she has shaved her head, she looks extremely anxious and nervous during the beginning of her video.

Throughout the shaving process, it is obvious that Brown begins to feel a sense of relief as she finishes shaving her hair. After she is completely done, she laughs while rubbing her hands over her fresh new look. The video ends with her saying, "Wow, this feels really good," and then of course documents her brave act with the perfect selfie. You go, girl!
