Woman blindfolds herself and allows strangers to cut her hair in Times Square

It takes a very brave person to blindfold themselves and hand strangers a razor and a pair of scissors to strangers on New York's Times Square.

Jae is the co-founder of The Liberators International group that seeks to "involve people in participatory acts of freedom that allow us to see that beyond our differences there is love and humanity."
