@@SR-cz5yy What you're describing is a blunt cut (straight across with no layers) and it's a totally different and more difficult, time-consuming method. Still achievable on your own, though. There are some decent videos on YT that demonstrate how to do it.
Life saver! I just cut my hair without looking online for tips and tricks. And it was horrible.. I found your video and it fixed it!! It looks amazing now! Thank you for sharing! ❤
This changed the whole hair game for me! I just did it not realizing that it would layer my hair so much and took off about 4 inches. But it came out looking reeeaaally nice. Just make sure to comb your hair all the way to the front, in one direction. It should look neat and tight when you tie it. You may also have to trim the very ends separately after, when your hair is down, depending on how much damage you have. Thanks so much for this! ❤
Ok so I have long hair, halfway down my back with a few layers, which I want to cut, so if do this trick, and pull all my hair forward, it will cut the length and the layers?
I've been cutting my hair at home for a couple years now and have been close to figuring it out. But the bottom was always blunt/uneven. I tried the one with 2 side low ponytails and cut blunt, then untie and stretch the ends to try to layer with scissors. What a disaster the ends turned out to be 😂 I tried this version and holy cow! Literally ONE cut with the scissors and it magically fixed my ENTIRE head when I let the ponytail out!! 🤣 All the ends perfectly fixed!! I can't stop looking at my hair lol .. This is the answer if you wanna cut your own layers! I got tired of hairstylists NEVER being able to figure out how to layer my super straight hair so after decades I gave up on them. I can now do a way better job than any of them, with literally one cut. Thank you!!! 🙏❤❤❤
But wait, how do you get layers from this when it's just one cut? Sorry, this is all very new to me, I want to cut my own hair but I've never done it before
@@fah6601 when you pull the hair to the top of your head, the front hair will be a shorter length to the end of the ponytail and the back pieces will be a longer length. So when you release it it will fall in layers, with the front being shorter in length. Hope that makes sense. If you start out cutting a longer ponytail you can always cut more later. So if you try it i recommend starting longer
Used to do this all the time and forgot about this technique. Just did it and saved myself from a salon visit. Been feeling really down about my hair and not it looks like amazing. 😊
I did this and it worked great!!! Just make sure you don't cut too short or your "fringe" will be more a mowhawk. When I did mine I cut around 6 inches from head. Perfect!
OMG! This DID work great!! Love it!! I spend $200 at the salon. I have really long hair (down to waist) put the 2nd pony holder about 2 inches from ends, cut and did it again if I wanted it shorter. It kept my length in the back, but framed my face perfectly. Thank you so much!!
I just watched some booshy snobby guy showing a similar method, but yours looks better and you are nice and you showed it in a quarter the time. Thank you!
I just did this with my hair exactly following her steps....and the results are amazing 🤩🤩🤩🤩 thank you I never opt for Parlours for haircut ! I always try new haircuts by following RU-vid and this girl is my latest fev in haircut techniques 👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍 amazing results
That's what I want like a shag, what do you mean shorter layers warning? My hair is not as long as hers, probably 5 inches shorter, almost all one length. That must feel so great to be able to give yourself a nice haircut!
@@Leah_F.thank you for this tip for the next time because that totally happened to me 😢 I have thin hair from post partum and just gave myself pretty short layers which I normally don’t do because of my thin hair. This made my ends look even thinner now. Gosh I hope that once I style it I can see how badly I messed it up. Definitely not for every hair type. Looks nice if I had thicker fuller hair for sure. Also I did the texture at the end and my layers still look sort of blunt 😫😖
This is how i would trim my hair when i trim it myself its easy and most of the time it turns out better than when i go to a salon and i save myself 30 to 40 bucks ... It's ridiculous what Hair salons charge just for a trim!
This worked great for me, I was worried a bit so I was careful but it worked out well! While your hair is like that, it’s easy to see if your layers have any split ends too so freshening them up is easy! No more annoying talks at the hairdresser for me! XD
i've been doing this since 2011, even though I have a bigger catalog now of home haircuts... I learned this haircut from a women that worked in the hair salon!
Need to mention that it does not cut your hair even. It makes layers around the face. I love it, I use this method all the time, however most people dont understand that this is not a way to cut your hair evenly.
@Captinclam That's what I was wondering, so the back of the hair at the bottom is uneven? Because that's very important to me. Unless I get it cut at the salon first because she does a great job with that but not enough layers on the sides.
I cut 7.5 inches off doing this and it worked fine for me. The front is shorter than the back. It doesn’t look like i cut much off at all though. For context, I have long hair
Just tried this and only did a little bit. Now my hair is really uneven!!!! Don’t try this. I did such a small amount I didn’t think it be a big deal but it turned out awful. 😡
What do you mean by point cut? This looks amazing and not complicated. Would save me time and money, because they hardly put any layers in at the salon. I want to try it but I don't trust myself. My hair is not quite as long as your. So would I put the second rubber band higher or lower? Anyone, thanks!
😂 This definitely does NOT work!! The way the video is filmed with so many cuts makes it look like she did this but she definitely did NOT do this and if she did she would have missing hair in the back. You do not get the V framing doing this .... Do NOT do this unless you want to screw up the back of your hair!
@@meghasingh I have long, strait hair and only took off a couple inches. I feel like it didn’t turn out as layered as I hoped so may do it again. My steps: I brushed my hair from the nape of my neck over my face as you demonstrated and secured it with a hair band, pretty low on my forehead. I didn’t put another hair band on the end because the pony tail seemed easy enough to cut without adding a second band. I’ll watch again and see if I can get a better result next time.
We don’t know what hers looked like after because she transitioned the shit back to her before shot right after letting her hair down😣. Wish i would have noticed BEFORE trying it.
Thank you from saving me from a puddle of tears There are so many people who are happy with their results but the ones I’m listening to are people like you 👍
It does look blunt weirdly separated sort of chunks of hair. My advice if you don't have as thick hair as this girl just don't do it it will look like absolute mess
