i hope someone sees this before i end up doing it tonight... lol.. so i have long hair that ends at my waist/butt. i want it at least 4 inches shorter , maybe 5. i always used to cut my hair back then but it would always come out as a V shape. and i've been wanting a straight across blunt just like this video. i have fine hair but i also get told i have a lot of it? lol whatever that means? soooo with that being said, since i have fine hair, could i do this just with all of my hair down? or do i have to section it? bc i do have one little section of ONE layer (at my armpit) and i don't want it that short 😅 i know it wouldn't be a complete straight across bc of that little layer but i at least want the rest to be.. if that's possible? anyways lol so yeah would i have to section it? i'm scared to section it wrong and mess it up. i tried the other night and only snipped off not even half an inch and just stopped bc i was so nervous 🥲 any advice or input would be appreciated! sorry for the novel lol
this tutorial is THE BEST i’ve found. Such a good method and video, thank you! This is fantastic! The ties is awful and I didn’t get a blunt cut at all lol
What happened….? Do you have any advice - I want to try this… (As I get older, my hair is starting to curl and it’s like learning how to work with an entirely different head of hair!! No fun dealing with the changes that hormones & grey hair do to your hair/ styling routine!! LOL!!)
@@sophiacromwell8017 it’s because now you’ll have shrinkage. Which is basically just product/ water weighting down your hair. So when you cut it wet, it’ll cut to a different length ( much shorter ) because now your hair is dry
I used to have thick hair until menopause, so I can no longer afford to have layers and I hate the v and u shapes. The only thing that works for me is the blunt straight across cut. My hair has always been fragile too, so it doesn’t reach much length before it gets stringy, and that’s what happened. I really didn’t want to lose the length, but the stringies were bugging me, so following this video, I ended up with 5” of hair on the floor 😢, but finally the hair is even and healthier looking. The neck can get a bit stiff, but the results are worth it. I agree with someone else here who has trouble trusting beauticians. My last haircut was in March, and I was staying at a shelter, and we had visits and transportation to and from the beauty school subsidized. The student had me tilt my head down nearly for the entire cut, and it came out looking great, the bluntest cut, and when I returned to the shelter, some jealous young lady said, “Oh, look, it’s Barbie” as I walked by at supper time. So while that cut was free, I couldn’t duplicate it myself. Now I have somewhere to live and everything is better, but it was time. Gotta dye my gray roots next, but another day, because I’m tired.
Oh… yes, I understand how menopause & grey hair can make hair-management very troublesome!! I tend to let mine grow, but it’s turning grey (course) and wavy/curly (sometimes “frizzy”) now - it never looked this“ragged” when it was straight (instead, it was just “flat”). I’m nervous about trying this DIY Hair cut - but how hard can it be, right?! LOL!! ;) I hope that you can enjoy the new cut and keep it up going forward in your life - when you feel good about your hair, it seems like “life feels better”. ❤
My hair was straight, flat and boring ( but held what few sets I was given) until I was 12, and then split ends, greasies, dandruff, kinks and serious frizz took over and that never changed…so consider yourself more fortunate that your hair woes began later in life. Anyway, this was the second time I’ve used this video and started at the nape hairs, which always get short or just don’t grow, so that’s why, in my efforts to get the see through effect out of the ends, I lost 5” inches of length from the longest parts. Next time the strings get to be too much, I will start cutting from the section just about 1”-3” above the nape hairs so I don’t have to sacrifice so much length each time.
I think there needs to be a little more explaining because before i followed a few tutorials, i think it needs to be a bit slower and just purely showing the cut, instead of the video with explanation. But apart from that good tutorial, but first time a tutprial this easy and i didnt get it correctly.
💯 if you don’t have a lot of hair or want healthier hair cut it straight also if you are using bleach! If you have layers your hair looks extremely damaged cut it straight!! What i like about straight square blunt hairstyles is that when you curl the front it doesn’t make the curl higher then the back … Also if you are a little chubby it hides the side of your back and if you have it long better because it even covers your chubby arms. People who I don’t recommend is if you have short hair and have a square back with no waist DON’T DO IT but if you have it long yes, but not short
I can totally see me messing this all up. I don’t think I would be able to turn my head and look up in the same angle every time. My hair would be a mess😅
I am 70 yrs young and every time I get my hair cut it is an extremely bad haircut,Then it takes me months to grow it out. Some of my friends agree with me salons do not want old people in their salons.I do not have the courage to cut my own hair. Rosie I wish I lived near you. You would be the person I go to for a haircut. Thank you for this tutorial.
fantatic, it's the second time I'm using your tutorial - first time worked well, and since hairdressers have the urge to cut and thin out, even though I say blunt cut, I'm goint to do it again at home!
i want you to know how much i appreciate this video. i used EXACTLY what you recommended and it turned out great. I've been home-dyeing my hair at home for decades and this by far gave me the best result. it's a very natural healthy-looking shade. it's not brassy at all nor does it have a green undertone. thank you so much !!
Thank you so much for this! I have been doing a 'V' or 'U' Cut on myself for around 10 years, but PCOS has made my hair look very fine and stragly in the last few years. A blunt cut looks so much better and makes my hair appear way more thick and full than my previous style.
Thank YOU so much for this DIY blunt haircut video - I've been wanting a blunt haircut for years but my hair dresser actually didn't know what I was asking for when I asked her for a "Blunt cut"...and the steps/tips you give on this particular cut are easy to follow - so wish me luck, I'm off to DIM!!🤩 I will get back to you after the cut - oops, blunt cut!!
Yes girl thank you. I been cutting my own hair in a v and U shape for a while but am growing it out so I want it square with no layers. I just haven't done this in a while and I was kicking myself when you showed how you do this because that's how I cut other people's hair. Thanks for the video. 😊❤
