Butterfly Layered Haircut Tutorial Using Only 3 Ponytails | Easy To Follow 

I am not a hair stylist, but through the years have cut my own hair. I did this cut today at home by myself. I have thin, wavy hair, and wear it straight often. It took maybe 15 mins and I was done and it turned out beautifully. I did not use the thinning scissors. I cut straight across but cutting away from my face and then did the point cut in to make it look wispy. It looks like it was done professionally. Thank you so much for this tutorial. You saved me a good $100. Super easy, super quick and excellent results!❤❤❤

I think the three pony tail cut is a game changer for long hair that needs shape. This would look wonderful on someone who has really thick hair. Good job. Thanks for the tutorial.

I’ve been trimming my own hair for about 1-2 years now because stylists kept cutting off too much when i was trying to grow it out. I have fine, wavy/curl medium length. Today i tried this and the only difference i did was make the 3rd pony tail a little longer than the second one to keep my length. But very happy with it!! Thank you. It gives it alot of flow then having only one layer

I am 55, I have cut my hair recently, trying out different ponytail methods, this is by far the best, getting my hair even when putting in sections is the hardest “part”. I use a wall mirror, bathroom vanity mirror and a rat tail comb…I cut straight across each end section and then I thin the ends out…if you don’t thin the ends out by point snipping your ends will look blocky/choppy. I don’t like that look, I like blended layers. The end result is really flattering to my face, like I have a double chin and middle age spread on my face and this cut is very good for me, it actually brings out my cheekbones and my hair doesn’t look too structured or formal, I like softness and movement and this has it all. I am bookmarking this one, as I will definitely be doing it again. Just make sure you have the right tools (they need to be sharp!) and you have at least two mirrors, I have a wall mirror that swivels out and it helps a lot when looking at the sides of the head and part of the top to check for evenness. Try this, if done correctly , it will fall perfectly and you will save so much money too with just a little time and patience!

Easy instructions. Thank you. I am cutting my girlfriends hair as she is undergoing radiation treatments. I pray it makes her look & feel so much better about herself.

What I love about this method is that the layers blend really well. No need to point cut around the hair. You just need to blend in the front. I thinned 30% to maintain some weight but it took out the bulk. Blow drying using the Bondi blowout brush is super easy and quick now. Looks like I just walked out of the salon. Thank you! Best tutorial.

I just did it and this worked perfectly to me. Dry hair and professional scissors. Thank you so much for such a useful video ❤️

I just did this haircut tutorial thank you so much the results are amazing with lots of volume 💗

I've been trimming my hair this way for the last year while growing out my blonde. Works well! I get a lot of compliments ☺️ Thank you.

Just finished cutting it just as, I love thinning shears - the best tutorial I've seenthus far and my hair looks hella beautiful- thank u!!

Just tried this on my thick hair but just cut each end straight and heavily point cut it. Turned out really well!

Yes! Absolutely use thinning shears to avoid a blunt line, totally worth buying a pair (mine were $20) Depending on hair thickness and wispiness preference, adjust how aggressive you thin. This worked on my thick, straight Asian hair perfectly!!!!

I'd like to SEE the CUT. front and back before curling.

Thank you for this tutorial! I just did it on myself and turned out great, I didn’t cut too much because I was scared, but the technique worked very well.

Thanks for showing that this can be done on a thinner hair type!

You are the only hairdresser I can stand watching!

Thank you so much for making it so simple to understand and for the camera angles to help with understanding the cut better.

just did this with my daughters help and i love it! thank you

There's no clarity as to what length to cut each one of the ponytails. Same length? Graduated lengths? Ugh

Used straight scissors and it turned out beautiful.

This is the first time I have seen this with 3 ponytail. I really like the finish.

I cut my daughters hair yesterday using yr video and it looks amazing,wow❤

Wow I really liked this so pretty and simple.

Wonderful! I will try it on my hair!

Thanks alot 😊 i cut my hair for a few years now and this was perfectly done with your video ! I have thick hair so the texturizing scissor was the cherry on top .. i use to just cut then after using the texturizing scissor

I have thick wavy hair and this haircut worked perfectly fine for me. I simply love my hair after this cut and also I love the fact how simple,quick and easy this tutorial is. I am never returning back to my hairstylist lol 😅

I absolutely love your work that haircut is🔥🔥 I want to learn more from you.

Thank you so much for sharing this technique ❤

Wow nice job I'm not a pro but went to Cosmo school and that was well done and I'm going to give it a try at home I do have my own sheets but I prefer the point cutting and slide cutting however I could just as well use a razor too but I'll probably cut to length then point cut to get the texture and the weight !! Thank you!❤

The video was moving a little fast for me so I decided to watch it on half speed. I couldn’t stop laughing because you sounded hammered! Haha! But the haircut was a success so thank you!

SO PRETTY!!! 🥰🥰🥰🥰

I did this this morning only I have mature hair so I blunt cut it and did a little point cutting in the ends. It turned out absolutely fantastic !!!!!! Thank you !!!

Love the haircut 😊😊

It looks great as an end result but you don’t explain how to do it. Are you cutting each ponytail to the same length so the match?

love this! ty so much!

Excellent as always

Love it Matt

Muy bello lindo corte gracias bendiciones abundantes

I just did this haircut on myself but a good bit shorter cause my hair is super thick and heavy and I needed to lose some volume. I really like the way it turned out. Will recommend.

Wow i love it

Amazing!!!

Love it. Thank you

Maravillosa,fuerte abrazo desde Argentina.

Exceptionally good work❤

How would you adapt this for someone with a side parting?

I do like the results ❤😊

Why would you use thinning scissors on already fine/thin hair?

This guy is my idol.

Love this

I love it.. congratulations❤😊

I LIKE THAY HAIR CUT GLORIOUS

Fantastic haircut. How would you blowdry to keep layers on longer hair?

You are fantastic I wish you live in our state so you can cut all my family hair thank you for all the wonderful tips very professional super👏👏👏

Hi! I just did this, and it worked beautifully. I did an extra section because my hair was past my butt. I love it! I don't know how to style it or the products to use since I have a reaction to most things. I'll look around and see what I find. Thank you. ❤😊

Love it!

Do you place ponytails differently for side parts??

I love it

Can you use regular cutting scissors and cut straight across? Or do you have a video of that same cut using a different method?

NICE!

love it

I’ve been trying to get up the nerve to give myself the butterfly cut for a while but keep worrying that I’ll mess it up. Recently I’ve been trying to figure out ways to lessen the risk, so I decided on the 3 ponytail method rather than 2. Then I started to wonder if using texturising scissors to cut the length would help to soften it & make it more seamless…& then I found this video! Thanks for confirming this- I’m actually going to give it a shot now!

Will you make a video for big forhead, ( both side hair shape V hair lost or less ) so try to save those area too

Wow very nice 😊

❤❤ wow cool thanks

Lovely

Hey beautiful I love it 😀 ❤❤❤

Nice!

What if you want similarly length layers in the back as in the front?

What happens if you did a sharp cut instead of thinning the hair, asking for those of us doing at home haircuts who can't do that technique.
