You didn't see many layers (even with ur high ponytail placement) bc you brought the section DOWN (and forward) when cutting. If you redirect the hair straight UP from the ponytail (or at an angle higher than 90°) and then cut, you'd get more dramatic layers. 💜
I love the color of your hair. I did see a tad red. What color did you use? I would love to do mine that color!!! Thanks for sharing. I need to try this technique!
