Fifteen years 🖤 It’s my Dømme bday today. What started as curiosity became a calling and somewhere along the way, it became a life I built entirely on my own terms.

This work has taught me more about power, human nature, discipline, and self-possession than I could have ever imagined. It has challenged me, shaped me, and ultimately refined me.

There have been moments of intensity, moments of doubt, moments of transformation, and through it all, I remained. To have sustained a career in this space for 15 years is something I don’t take lightly. It is commitment to an unwavering sense of self.

To those who have crossed paths with me, clients, peers, collaborators, and those quietly observing, thank you for being part of this journey in whatever way you have.

“I’d cut my hair short, but I’m afraid it won’t suit me; I probably have a weird skull shape.” I’ve heard this phrase from girls thousands of times. For many, buzzing the head with clippers is a life reset ritual—a ritual of boldly declaring yourself and your independence. I could list the meanings girls find in short hair for a long time because I’ve been working with this for over two decades. But besides the desire, there is also fear. And the fears are standard: it won't suit me, I won't be accepted, I won't be able to grow it out. Some never manage to step over these fears. For others, I provide the way.

I came up with this experiment specifically to help those who can’t decide and are afraid it won't grow back. We invited two girls and buzzed them bald specifically to show the stages of returning to long hair. I’ve already posted the first model; you can find her in my recent posts. Today I’m sharing the second one.

As you can see, the girl looked elegant at every stage, and it's not about the skull shape—it’s about the hair design. If you just grow it out without cutting, the hair will grow faster, but it will quickly take the shape of a potato—somewhat round, but shapeless. Therefore, the main recipe for growing out is to get cut by a master who knows how to work with short hair. A person who does great balayage and cuts layers won't handle this task. Short hair is about the specifics of proportions; it's head sculpting, the ability to build and redistribute hair volumes, and it is radically different from working with long hair. 0.5 inches of hair in a specific zone can change a person beyond recognition—it can disfigure them or add +100 to their attractiveness. In short, it’s a fascinating adventure available to the brave, and it's quite safe.

What I remember specifically about this girl: after we cut her hair and she left, a bartender from the bar next door called me. He was on his way to work and ran into my model. On the phone, he spent a long time admiring her beauty and praised me for the buzz cut. Even for me, that was unexpected. That’s the story.

If you’ve read this far—share your experience. Ever wanted to shave your head? Scared?

I’m familiar with the urge to go short and the simultaneous fear of the grow-out process. I’ve run several experiments on this, engineering the growth so the hair maintains its form at every stage.

There are several growth algorithms; each has its pros and cons, with slight variations in speed. The 'Potato' method—zero cutting, just raw growth—is the fastest but also the most dysfunctional. I’m running this experiment on myself right now. Every day I want to shave it. Zero recommendations for this path—more on that in a separate post.

In this experiment, the goal was to deliver a new cut and color at every visit while systematically returning to the original length (spoiler: we grew it even longer). This took 1.5 years and 7 salon sessions. As you can see, everything is possible.

Изабелла: выведет из чёрного даже темную шатенку 🖤

Не любим громкие обещания. Но эта женщина заставит нас сделать исключение.

7 лет она реанимирует волосы после фраз «я сама», «подружка покрасила» и «а почему стало зелёным?». Работает с топ-брендами, но фишка не в этом. Фишка в том, что Изабелла возвращает с того света.

Чёрный хоть трижды убитый? Выведет.
Седина, которую полгода закрашивали хной? Спрячет.
Тонкие волосы, похожие на одуванчик? Сделает объём, которому позавидуют инстаграм-блогеры.

А ещё у неё есть наращивание, которое выглядит так, будто волосы всегда ваши. Даже если вы пришли с мышиным хвостиком.

Изабелла не делает "как на картинке". Она делает так, что ваши волосы начинают жить. Даже если до встречи с ней они хотели умереть.

Свободные окна — как билеты на концерт любимой группы. Разбирают за день.

Запись в Direct. Пиши "ИЗАБЕЛЛА" — успеешь урвать место ✂️

Your skin isn’t dry.
Your nervous system is overwhelmed.

Most people don’t need more products.
They need rituals 🌿🪬

When you apply oil slowly.
When you inhale a mist consciously.
When you pause for 2 minutes.
Your body softens.
Your breath deepens.
Your system resets.

Love Pure is not skincare. It’s sensory grounding for sensitive and strong people.

Body oils. Aura mists. Face & hair serums.
Made to reconnect you... not overwhelm you.

If your body feels tired lately, comment “RITUAL” and I’ll guide you to the right blend.

Февраль 2026 не на океане. Грущу ли я из-за этого? Нет! Было много классной работы и спец проектов, а то ли еще предстоит. Иногда вот бывает так, что тебе кажется, что все встало и ты топчешься на месте, но вот сейчас на работе столько всего происходит, что мы иногда говорим друг другу: бляяяя, чтожь делать, чтожь делать… (с). Побывала на днях рождениях, которые несколько лет подряд пропускала, ходила на классный бранч. Коктейли у @ramil_rz стали еще вкусней. Купила себе whoop. Не купила набор новых кастрюль. Все еще считаю белок (тело говорит спасибо). Успела поболеть. Норма тренировок тем не менее никуда не делась. Минус -1,5. Есть ощущение легкости. Оно мне нравится. Прочитала 4 книги. Поясница перестала болеть. Подружка улетела обратно в Тайланд.

Если коротко: насыщенный получился месяц.

How do you feel about your self-love? 🧡

Sometimes we forget to celebrate our body, our spirit, our dreams, and our very being.

Connect with yourself and take time to rest, feel, dream... whatever you can. At least 30 minutes a day if your days are busy, and discover how self-love and self-esteem grow. 😘

Hydrate, eat healthy, pamper yourself whenever you can, massage and moisturize your body with natural products. 🌿

Love Myself was born from this idea... a natural body oil that moisturizes but also invigorates and makes you feel connected with its Vanilla extract and Patchouli aroma, blended with pure Avocado Oil.

Do you want to start loving yourself and feeling happy? 🌸😊

Your energy is a temple 🪷

We cleanse our bodies and care for our skin, but how often do we cleanse the unseen layers of our being? Our energy and thoughts shape how we move through life. When they are heavy, we feel drained… when they are clear, we rise into flow and magnetism. ✨️🧿

To be energetically clean is to release worry, doubt, and fear; creating space for higher vibrations, peace, and positivity. Every thought is a seed, and when tended with love, we attract a garden of beauty around us. 💜

Every spray of MY PROTECTION mist is more than aroma: it's a ritual that protects you with the vibrations of its carefully chosen natural components. Natural extracts and healing essences wrap your aura like a soft shield, reminding you that you are safe, supported, and deeply connected with nature. 🌿

Breathe it in. Feel your energy clear. Remember: your light is protected, your heart is free, your path is blessed. 🌹💫

Grateful for you amazing photos @melitafreud
