Cutting my own hair ~Vintage style~ at home - it was EASY 

First, your hair looks great! Good job! Second, your reasoning is exactly why I too…cut my own hair. I cannot be bothered with the phone calls and getting dressed and showing up somewhere at a certain time and blah blah. Also, did you you that you have to sit in the chair and TALK to the hair dresser while they cut too much of your hair and then style it in a way that you have to drive straight home before anyone can see you looking like that and re-wash it and style it the way you like it? Too much work and money and I’d rather be playing with a sewing machine. I know there are fabulous hair dressers out there but I can’t seem to find one. It would be perfect if they would come to my house, I would pay for that! Looking forward to your next video, they always are relatable and make me laugh. Thanks! -Jen

As a hairstylist of more than 40 yrs. I'm absolutely fascinated. I have never seen a device like this & I'm truly curious as to whether or not it really works. I think it really helps to be as beautiful as you are. You're one of those rare people that can basically get away with any hairstyle.....or even bald. Fortunately, your hair came out gorgeous! Love your channel 💖💖💖

I got the courage to cut my own hair after watching Morgan Donner’s video on her method. It works for me and I am very happy not having to call a hair dresser. Isn’t it great what we can learn from RU-vid

OK, so I’m not the only one who brings in vintage photos and says, “This please!” They never quite get it right. *sigh* Also, I totally hid the hairbrush from my mother. I used to throw an absolute fit every time she tried to comb out my snarls so at age five she handed the task over to me and for the most part it’s been fine other than my middle school years where new kids on the block and the late 80’s collided in a half up-half down, side ponytail mall bang monstrosity on my head. There was actually a year in which no one, not even my mother, saw my school pictures. I just picked them up at school and hid them away.

Darling! You are gorgeous! I've been cutting my own hair for a decade, primarily because I am only willing to pay for a truly great hairdresser, and they're not so easy to find. My technique begins with regular home treatments. I regrew my thinning hairline using rosemary essential oil; incredible results! In scientific studies it's been shown to be as effective as minoxidil. Also, once a week I do a raw egg 'shampoo' OR a castor oil scalp massage before washing my hair. I also treat my ends every day (whilst brushing my teeth) with the Elvive hair oil in a golden glass bottle or any other good hair oil. This step is crucial! My hair is long and I have not trimmed it in six months. Split ends are created through the rough brushing in my experience, so I use a wide toothed afro comb. If I do need a trim I use straight edged embroidery scissors and I trim only the worst bits in 2cm sections over the course of a week, just before the full Moon. 😅 Love you darling! Your stepson is a sweetie!

I absolutely relate to avoiding calls unless it relates to my family’s wellbeing 😅

You're hilarious. Arguing with the bubble 😂 literally arguing with gravity. Your channel is now one of my favorites I've been cutting my own hair for the past year. Having curly hair is great because it's so much harder to tell when it's not perfectly even at the end (it just bounces up into a curl). Your end result looked great too

I've been cutting my own hair for a really long time, and even so, it's still anxiety inducing every time! You did a great job and the curls look gorgeous!

Haha Brad Mondo needs to see this method😂 The result is stunning though!!❤

If you have wavy or curly hair, definitely cut it dry! I have done so many hair experiments on my long hair before cutting it short and then again with short hair. It works so much better that way. You did great layers on your hair. The face framing is a modern thing, but better than bangs in my opinion. If you want more tutorials on hair cutting, I recommend Brad Mondo. I'm not tagging him, as you requested .

Nice Job. I bought those cutting tools from Aliexpress and love them. I'm getting better at using them now. I avoid hairdressers because all the chemical perfumes in hair products cause me headache.

Turned out nice! I’ve been cutting my own hair for years lol I just don’t care if it’s perfect, it’ll grow back, and I have wavy hair so it disguises little imperfections fine.

I've been cutting my own hair since covid. There have been some bad haircuts, but I eventually got the hang of it. Curly hair is very forgiving, at least. Yours looks great.

I've been cutting my own hair since I was a teen Growing up we had 2 hair styles my mum could cut, long blunt cut hair with the option of a blunt fringe or a buzz cut So once I convinced mum to let me cut it shorter I learnt so many hairstyles I've done emo hair, short razor cuts, blunt bobs, Mohawks, pixie cuts,buzz cuts, vintage midi cuts (both the baby and standard) and I've done bleaching and perming with the help of my partner The fact I didn't have the option of a hair dresser growing up has meant in my nearly 28 years I've never been to one and with all the help on the internet It's so much easier than when I started

Whatttttttt, I love you! You're adorable!!!! I've been looking up a ton of hair DIYs and you just popped up!!! I dig it! 💖💖💖💖💖💖

I'm actually a hair stylist. You did a great job. I totally get the not wanting to call anyone. I avoid phone calls like the plague.

Your hair turned out so beautiful ❤

Your hair came out beautiful! I can’t imagine it could look any better if you had paid the hairdresser 😍

This came out surprisingly good!! It’s very Rita Hayworth as Gilda ✨

🐩seems like a poodle would be fitting here 😉 You are braver than me, cutting your own hair. I can relate to the talking on the phone with strangers. In my stupid mystery box, I dont want to disturb people, even if it is their job to just pick up the phone when I call.

I have never seen the big curve clip before, I cut mine by hanging it upside down and gathering it in a bunch at the bottom and sawing it off, it’s curly so it doesn’t show how much of a hack job it is - yours is gorgeous xx

I almost cut my own hair 2 weeks ago, but I have short hair and i sensed it would be... not good. It took me 4 days to get my life together to call the (local) hairdresser - who I dread seeing because she always comments on my one grey strand of hair like I'm turning into a hag - and when I called they kept offering me time on like tuesday at 11. (nope nope nope) .... Eventually i gave up and made an appointment at a $$$ hairdresser in Leipzig where I can book online. I'm really glad this worked for you, when I saw the title, I was legit nervous the reason you uploaded on Tuesday was panic and stress and not wanting to show your hair. 🤣

I have cut and colored my own hair since shortly after the pandemic. I got tired of paying almost $200 just to get highlights as well as spending nearly five hours in the salon to get it done since my hair is fairly thick. Now I spend less than $15 and actually like the results even more. In fact, my boss thought my red color was actually my natural color. I consider that a huge win. Also, I think that wavy/curly hair is definitely more forgiving if you don't cut your hair perfectly straight. I also point cut the bottom edge a bit, which also helps blend the hair. And I have NO hair talent, so if I can do it, ANYONE can. 😂

Your hair has barley ome to terms with the trauma of your creative curling method and now this too. I admire your courage.

A new fluffy family member is coming?😻 you surely know how to leave people intrigued and waiting😊

Your hair looks great. Good job on cutting it.

Well done you. Looks fab. You'll almost never see the inside of a salon again. Liberation... I have naturally curly hair (tighter more irregular curl than yours) so I know the grief of trying to deal with hairdressers... I've been cutting my husbands hair for the past 15 years or so. Used to cut my own but I've had my hair in locks for the past 9 years - although I'm going to be cutting them off soon so I'll have to get back into the clipper routine. - Cathy (&, accidently, Steve), Ottawa/Bytown/Pimisi

A problem with the "bubble leveler" in the clip would be that you need to be standing and have your head perfectly straight, compared to the ground, for the level to accurately say what "level" is. If you are standing (or leaning over) even slightly to one side, standing on uneven flooring, or have your head even slightly tilted, then what registers as level in with the bubble will be at a tilt compared to your own body. Sorry if that isn't very clear. But, basically, you might have been right when you were saying it wasn't straight. Also, I have never used one of those clips before, so it might not be an option, but if you flip it upside down (so the outside of the curve is facing towards the ground), it would be easier to run the scissors along the edge of it. It's hard to get scissors cleanly cutting while next to something on the inside of a curve. If you need the curve facing up, then I would pull it down even more and run the scissors on the top of it. I've been cutting my own hair for 15+ years now, after multiple times when they cut WAY too much off. Mine is long enough that I brush it all back, throw a hair tie on it at the nape of my neck, and slowly push it down my hair (tightening it as needed, and switching to reaching behind my back and pulling it down at a certain spot) until it's near the ends of my hair. Then I grab the whole thing and bring it over my shoulder, without pulling it out of place, and cut from there. If your hair is long enough to bring all to one side, you might try that method next time it needs trimming. I've just found your channel BTW, and I'm binge watching. You seem like a lovely person, and I very much enjoy your style, your creations, and your videos.

Amusingly it's fairly easy to see in the video that the level was stuck onto the hair clip crooked, so you probably would have done better to ignore it and just trust your instinct on what's level and straight. But the good news is that it doesn't really matter, a curled style is incredibly forgiving to uneven trimming. In fact, you usually want some controlled unevenness, which is often accomplished by using thinning shears, or a technique where you grab a lock of hair and make steep diagonal cuts so that all of the hair comes out slightly different lengths and you don't get an abrupt end that makes it look like your mother trimmed your hair with a soup bowl.

Very glam. ❤ I’m cheap. I go to a barber twice a year for shearing and get a buzz cut. I could do it myself with clippers but I’m too lazy to clean up after myself.

Your hair came out beautifully! Awesome work! I'm not all that good at coming up with social media names either, haha! Maybe something like Marlena Sews?

I think you did a great job! And one of the upsides to curly hair is it's so much harder to tell if it's a little uneven. 😅

Look great, thanks for sharing

I cut my own hair... its a bit trickier because it stick strait... I get my guy to trim the bottom layer if it's off... I do ok... your hair is beautiful n it has lovey layers... I will be looking for 1 of those clips to give this a try... thank you for sharing !!!

I will say the shape looks really good! The clumping problem might actually come from not brushing your hair out enough. It takes me a lot of time to brush through and get the vintage consistent bumps and waves. I also find that following the brush with my hand helps smooth everything together without doing a ton of brushing. Your pin curls look amazing though!

You did a great job with the cut and really it's not worth spending money at the hairdresser's only for a trim. If it's an elaborate haircut then yes, you need a professional, but for what you needed you managed it perfectly on your own! And the curls look lovely too! 😍😍

😍Your hair is so beautiful and what ever that clip did, it did so well for you. Good job. So nice to seek at your boys👦🧒. Great English 👍🥀too. At my age, I have half the hair I had. And much less in other places.😅🤣 I still have photos of me with a ton of hair. Never as pretty as yours. I should have tried red hair.

You look absolutely gorgeous, totally worth the risk and the little dying at the end ☺. I don't trust hairdressers, so, I've been cutting my hair for a long time now, and sometimes I mess up, but, is my mess 😎 and didn't pay anybody to make it 🤣 Can't wait to watch next weeks video, for a moment I thought you were going to make a noir film with Pinky as a co-star 🤭.

I do go to a hairdresser, but she is my mums best friend and I know her well, so I trust her with my hair. I would NEVER go to a hairdresser I've never been to before, who knows what you're going to end up with!

Your hair turned out lovely ❤🐶

🐶 sweet lady, I try to comment on every video because I know it really helps. But honestly I don't have much to say today. I'm in a weird spot and I'm very uncomfortable and unsure but I was very happy to see you posted when I got off work this morning and watching you fuss with your hair the same way I have so many times before definitely brought a little brightness to my morning (although it's kind of my night because I work the graveyard shift lol). Also, this is now 2 videos that you've made that aren't capsule wardrobe and you specifically asked us to keep you on task. SO WORK ON THAT TOO!

Heeeeeeey! That was my experience for many years at the salon growing up. I asked for a trim, NOT a cut! LOL I do my own hair care, but have one or two trusted people I can call on for specific things, but it's rare. Also...Ellen. 🤣🤣🤣 I had to go back, like, I know that I didn't just see that! LOL Awwwww, hello to the bonus son! Too sweet! Your hair came out beautifully well, freeennn! You did a good job! 🥰

I started cutting my own hair during covid and have just kept it up. My challenge is if i want to do a true vintage, i would want the horseshoe cut.

Ohmai. You've inspired me to try this. I am the worst at keeping up on hair appointments...once a year. And, if i screw it up, french braids until it grows out😅😅

I cut mine a couple of weeks ago. It's ok.

I'm the same way about calling people! 😂

Super

Next time you could try using a razor instead of sisers. I can imagine it would run smoothly along the plastic 😊

Cutting my own hair is always a disaster for me. When I had long hair my hair dresser friend would come over and do a dusting, which is just above the split ends. Last year my hair went down to my butt and I cut it off into a bob. Thinking next month I will get it cut into a very short bob. My hair is fried from dying and I can't fix the damage.

🐶

I cut my own hair during Covid, and it was okay.

Girl you're so beautiful you can even chop like 666 centimetres but nothing changes

when I had short bangs i cut that myself for most times the last 20 years and gre it out 2 years ago. cut the other stuff myself to becouse just trim it. when it´s long even if straigther then a ruler it also never is hanging straigth down it get stuck on cloths and shoulders and stuff so not really shows if not perfect even and most times not really come home with even hair from hair dressers either.and bangs most sucks on. becouse they refuse to accept it can´t go shorter due to swirls.and people ask who do my hair so can´t be to bad.

The way I just chopped mine with regular scissors lol

I have been cutting my own hair for over 40 years. When its long, its hard to see any imperfections in your hair cut.

Didn’t you have that clip turned the wrong way? I think it was upside down. It came out great though ❤️👍
