The head pounding killed me LOL. This is exactly what I needed to see, and exactly what my 11 year old needed to see to be reassured that she will not be left short-haired or bald. Thank you!
My hair dresser isn’t consistent. I’ll get a good cut on one visit and next time she misses the mark. Another hair dresser spent the whole time yapping about herself. That was annoying!
@@allabouthairwithdanise Now I bring in a photo (same photo every time) to remind her of the style I want. Often I just let it grow out and have her maintain the color which turns out to be a good job every time. 🤣
Holy smokes, thank you! I found this video in search of confirmation that my undercut to too high. My disconnect is pretty far above my parietal, leaving my little faux half-bob more limp than I prefer.
That’s fantastic! One of my shears is over 20 years old, never sharpened. One of my favorites. If you take good care of them, they last. (Wipe, dry and oil). It also depends on how often you use them. Thanks for watching! 😊
Thank you, I’m a little confused, as the thickest, bulkiest area is above halfway up from the bottom, which is the area I want to thin out, and thus keep the bottom think. Am I perhaps not understanding? Also, can this be used on thick frizzy waves / curly hair?
@@babushkamart totally understand. I get it. The thickest feeling part is closer to the scalp, however if you thin too much in that area, your hair will stick out and you will compromise the shape of the haircut. Can you thin the hair in this area? Of course. But go slow. Check after every cut. The half way mark is the foundational rule. When you know the rules, then you will know when to break the rules 😉 Thinning is usually not recommended for frizzy hair, because it could cause more frizz, but it can be used for wavy hair. Good luck. Let me know if it works for you. Thanks for watching. 😊
THANK YOU! I am 73 years young and recently had a bob cut - nice but to severe could - not decide on a flattering style. I am rather youthful (not overdoing it)😉 Your post has inspired me!
I happened upon this video and it is so calming. You are such a good teacher. I’ve been cutting my own hair since I was 13 but im working on layers and wanna try some light thinking bc I just cut my hair shoulder length. I’ll give it a try now that I know the tips!
No matter how many videos i watch, i still seem to cut a chunk of my hair out 😂 and im using the thinning scissors exactly how it was said to, so im going to leave it to the professionals😂😂... good video, tho 👌❤
You just said it all. I have been to 3 beauticians in one month. Starting with 30" all one length hair I just wanted some simple layering for movement and bounce. $300 later my hair is about 2" long with big chunks that don't match anything. I am devastated. I have never left a salon satisfied! Why are ppl cutting hair that don't know what they are doing??
Great video. Question for you, I have long, very curly frizzy hair. And I’m experiencing a lot of breakage. Not hair loss, just breakage. I’m really trying to improve the health and strength of my hair without drying it out. I used OGX Biotin/Collagen Shampoo and conditioner for a while. Worked pretty when but holy smokes my hairs dryness/frizziness was bad. Is there a topical solution you recommend using? If you think a pill would be better, I just would like to know if it does or doesn’t increase ‘body’ hair growth. I’m paying thousands in laser hair removal and I don’t want to make that more costly on myself by taking a pill that might increase body hair growth if a topical solution is just as strong.
Thanks for watching. My first thought is to discover why your hair is experiencing a lot of breakage. It can be so many reasons. Do you wear your hair in a ponytail daily? To sleep? Do you put it in a ponytail while wet? All these things can cause breakage. However, for dryness and frizziness, it can be a moisture concern. My two favorite products to use daily would be from Eufora: ElixirOne (elasticity), and Beautifying Serum (moisture). Once every 4 shampoos: Urgent Repair Triple Bond or Replenishing Treatment OR Moisture Masque, if the hair feels more coarse (This will Remove external combatants and increase strength, stability, and elasticity). Stop anything with a fixative right now temporarily and see what happens for 30-60 days, simply because a fixative will add stiffness to the hair, encouraging compromised hair to be less flexible than normal, which will only add to instability and risk more breakage when brushed or bent. You can find these products on my website: www.danisekeilitz.com/euforaproducts Let me know how it goes...
Now I keep being told that rice water helps with thinning hair. Any thoughts of fads like this?My hair is so thin and fine I am just looking for a miracle.
@@allabouthairwithdanise ooooooh okay, I gotcha! I'm cutting today. Been watching tutorials all morning. My hair is to the middle of my butt. It's boring blanket hair. It's supposed to be nice and wavy but is dry and frizzy. My plan is to start by a good wash, condition and leave in conditioner, then roughly follow the brad Mondo tutorial on a butterfly cut to give some layers and remove any dead ends, then go in at angles with thinning shears to soften both cuts, take down, make any more cuts, then dry, THEN go into different sections to soften the look, maybe give it a little bit of a shag vibe. Then on my bangs I wanna do a side swept look, but shorter and feathered keeping the wispy tapered layers on the side of the bang. I've done it before and it took me 4 or 5 days 😭. But I am just honestly so tired of spending way too much money only to be downright sabotaged by these female hairdressers! The older women are super nice, but can't nail my style while the ones my age or younger are just so petty I have actually had to walk out with my hair started on just because it was so terrible I couldn't have them ruin it all. Any time a gay man has done it it's been really nice but at this point, mine died and I just started doing it myself. Hey, at least if I give myself a bad haircut it's free.
@@allabouthairwithdanise WOW.... Hours later and not done yet, but it's gonna look great! Still cutting bottom layers. Like everything I made it 10 times more complicated but I am very happy so far. Thanks for the help
Thank for asking! I’d suggest supplements, like biotin and also selenium (which you can get by eating 1-2 raw Brazil nuts a day). My favorite scientific-based regimen is the Thickening Regimen by Eufora. You can find them at this link: www.danisekeilitz.com/euforaproducts Keep me posted on your progress. Have a great hair day! 😊
I’ve always suffered with fine hair. And then you add menopause and thinning hair on top of that and it becomes a problem. I hope this video helps you feel that there is hope. Thanks for watching.
See the reply in your last comment for some more discussion. However, if the stylists are taking further education, are highly requested/booked or if they are in a high-rent community, they can probably ask those prices. Thanks again for watching. Be sure to subscribe!
It does seem like the prices are radically skyrocketing, doesn't it? Let's think about it...the national average take-home pay for a hairstylist before Covid was around $21,000. Not good at all. That number has to do with a lot of things, but mostly that a lot of hairstylists were not charging their worth, undercharging, or giving away free services...for whatever reason. So there has been a lot of discussion in the hair industry community in the last couple of years about how to charge to become profitable. It has a lot to do with overhead costs, education costs, how busy they are, and the rising prices of supplies. So that's probably why you're seeing an increase in service pricing. Now, do I think some of the prices are a bit too high, yes I do. However, there are so many stylists out there at every price point, that I'm sure you can find one within your budget. Thanks for watching.
Recently got a perm. She wanted to cut right after. I told her I had just gotten a trim two weeks prior and I'd like to let it relax down before I cut.
@@marleneo2581 good for you to speak up. I have found that some stylists cut the hair after a perm to snip off any hairs that weren’t permed correctly. I’m not saying that was the case. But you should definitely feel good about speaking up. Thanks for watching! 😊
@@katkat2340 it is getting expensive, isn’t it? Supply prices have gone up since Covid-but also I think there’s a lot of salon education out there showing stylists and owners why they haven’t been making any money. Pricing has always been undervalued. But I hear you. For the stylists who stay educated, use great products and give fabulous service deserve it. It’s costly to go to the salon these days. Thanks for watching.
I find that many times a stylist does an amazing job the first few times, then seems to begin putting less effort into it. Other friends say they have the same experience. I really don't want to change stylists now because she has given me the best cuts I've ever had, but I've been unsuccessful in getting across what I want to change. "Cut/style it like you did the first time" obviously doesn't work and I don't understand the how-to of cutting/styling hair well enough to explain what I want. Help!
Unfortunately, hairstylists get "comfortable" and don't hit it out of the park after a while. The service quality, or the experience seems to suffer. It's almost like they don't have to impress anymore. I've also been guilty of that in the past, almost like on auto-pilot. I advise politely asking them if they can remember the first time they cut your hair. To go at it like it's your first time sitting in their chair. Because you like what they are doing, you just want some attention to detail. I hope this helps. I think every stylist is different...but I do know that it happens a lot. I don't have a good explanation. I do have an example of what I use to coach stylists about...it's a passage from a book called "The E-Myth, by Michael Gerber", about consistency within the service. That is definitely what determines a successful experience...consistency. I wish you luck. Thank you for watching.
That is an embarrassing situation. It reminds me of when I take my pet to the vet...you never know how much the final bill will be...and it's always more than you expected. I would ask for a breakdown of services. Usually, the stylist probably adds on things, as they are working (toner, conditioning treatments...) and they might have even asked you if you would like those things, without explaining that there is an extra charge. Always ask!!! Thanks for watching.
Good question! If her prices don't already have her tip included (ask her), I would probably go ahead and tip her like she's a stylist. Thanks for watching! 🙂
