Do It Yourself Long Layers - 2020 Update!! 

"nerves are good. what's not okay is to be afraid of change, because change isn't aways bad." casually dropping some wisdom on us all

SHE KNEW WE NEEDED HER

Serious hair snob here- but my daughter wanted layers so I found you. They turned out SO beautiful that I said “her layers look better than my 95$ layers”... so I tried it. I was so terrified I was cutting too short but... it looks so good. I can’t thank you enough! What a great way to save on trimming hair. If anyone’s afraid- must follow along with her... it really does look very nice. I am blonde so they really show up

You have the best personality ever you are so beautiful so cute so sweet you are just a doll!Thank you for sharing your aunts techniques with us!

I used this video to cut my own hair in layers and it came out EXACTLY how I wanted!! Im never wasting my money at a salon ever again! Thanks!

I never comment on videos but I needed to say…I did your old tutorial twice in 2020 and when I got my hair done professionally after a year in quarantine, my hair dresser said “wow, I guess not all pandemic haircuts turned out bad.” Thank you for saving me from embarrassment!!!

I used your technique tonight on my long hair. The weight of my bun was just bothering me. The layers worked great and took out all the extra weight!

Being using your method for over 2 years. Love it! Thank you Soooooo much!

One suggestion is to wear light color clothing to contrast with your dark hair. Just saying visually it would look awesome! Thanks again for the wonderful step by step tutorial. I’m so doing this. It looks great! 👍

Thank you, I always go back to your first video for a reminder and have been doing my own haircuts at home. It's so easy and quick and FREE!!

Erikamari! Please keep the videos coming with anything you want to share.....Can't wait for your next video.... Thank you

First time cutting my own hair - thank you for making it fun and easy! God bless you, girl! 😊

You're great and so clear in your explanation, your tutorial is so much fun to watch! You make me want to go and cut my hair without being afraid of doing something wrong! You go girl!

Wow. I just saw your first vid on layers but I have really long hair and thought man I wish she had one for really long hair. And here we are 😆

I was excited to see that you posted a new video. It’s like seeing an old friend lol. You know what I mean. Well since I can’t go to my hairdresser I’ll be using your method. Thanks for the new video and hope to see you on here again soon! Mmwaah xox

My hand was shaking as i used your technique to cut my hair tonight but i think it turned out great! thank you!!

A haircut is metaphysical surgery. We’re entitled to get emotional. 😊🧡💜💕

Needed a cut so bad....a few videos and a self pep talk later, i chopped almost 7 inches off, I love it! Husband was super impressed as well! Thanks so much!!

Thank you so much for making this video!

I hope you’re doing well and keeping safe through all of the chaos in the world! I always return to your videos as a refresher when I’m going to cut my hair lol, it always comes out so well and it makes me feel pretty ☺️

Awesome! Thanks a million! First time cutting my own hair and I like better then the salon. God Bless you!!!

Girl! Thank you! You are so sweet, real and relatable! You just made trimming my hair so easy! ❤️ Thank you!

This is Andi, Ray's wife. Love your videos and now I cut with confidence! Thanks so much.

OMG!!! I have missed you!!! I have cooperative hair, about 2 weeks or so, I got my curly hair cut in short layers. I love it! So easy to take care of! Keep posting!!!!! Please!!!! 😀👍

It looks very nice. It's easy to cut hair. Amazing. Thank you for your Statement. Viele Grüße aus old Germany 🇩🇪

I just cut my hair for the first time! I love it. I have never been brave enough to do it, until I watched your video. Thanks!

Omg, I just tried this and the cut turned out perfectly! I was so nervous that I was cutting so much, but it really didn’t take off too much in length at all! Thank you so much for this tutorial!

Thank you so much for this! I tried cutting my hair for the first time today using this method and it came out awesome! I love your pearls of wisdom scattered throughout. Watching this video while following along is the definition of self-care. 😍🔥

Arikamari is ADORABLE! I’m a busy mom and DIY guru. She has given us tips that are fabulous! A plus during a pandemic! Thank you so much Arikamari! Love your videos. And auntie too! Stay healthy!

I was browsing for self hair cut , & I found yours… give it a try … & the result is the best!!! Cutting own hair has never been this easy! Thanks a lot ❤️

Thank you! I just cut my hair and I'm so happy with it. I will now use this all the time. I'm so picky that I drive an hour and a half out of the city to go to the one lady that knows how to cut my hair. The salon has since burned down (everyone's okay) and I haven't been able to get a similar cut. But now I can do it myself! Thank you so much for sharing! Long live the scrunchie!!

I tried this technique today and the results were awesome. Thank you for being yourself & introducing me to a new hair technique. My husband said it looked better than some of the salon haircuts I've had.

Omg I watched your video a million times for the last year and didn’t have the nerve to do it. My hair is down to my waist. But I just got the nerve to do it and I did it as I watched your video and I did it!!!!!! It came out nice too!!! THANK YOU!!!!! 👏👏👏👏

Yay!!!!! I love your personality! Your so beautiful!!!! And that hair!!! Slay queen you should totally vlog!!! We would watch!!

Looking at the update now. It's all good. Thank you.

Used this awesome video during quarantine!! Found her again during summer vacation for a much needed refreshing trim!! Thank you for your fun video!

You are a DOLL! Thank you for taking the mystery out of cutting our layers. Glad you came back with a video that shows us how to take length off. God has blessed us with YOU!

I just wanted to say THANK YOU AND YOUR TIA!! I cut my hair and it came out just like I wanted ❤️💯💋👌🏼 GRACIAS 🙏

You have been so incredibly helpful to me luv. I had a respectable amount of dead hair hanging off the ends of unbelievably fine strands. I watched you and trimmed with you... repeatedly. I am getting more comfortable each time and, I am getting closer to healthy hair each time. I am using an electric razor because of my hair texture. I am very pleased with where this is going.

This is amazing, thank you. You inspired me to cut my own hair with your first video. I have been cutting my hair myself ever since. Love your personality. Thank you so much for your new video. Please keep posting!

I watched both of your hair cut videos.?What a lovely personality! And I'm so wanna try it! Nervous but exciting!

I’m sooo glad I found you 👍🏼❤️..just cut my long hair in layers and love it thank you 😍🙌🏼

"I'm old, I'm a 90s baby " Girl I'm a 60s baby!

❤ love your tutorial and your personality and most of how this method saves me so much money and it works!

Your hair came out great. It looks so much healthier than before. I love the way your layers graduate down into each other too. I haven’t had a haircut for over 2 years and can’t get one now due to the pandemic, so I will be doing this on my own hair too. My hair has been thinning out and is quite long. My husband loves it longer but I need to cut off all the damaged hair. I want and need layers which I am used to, since that’s how I’ve worn my hair most of my adult life. Having it all one length makes it difficult to do anything with other than to thrown it up into a ponytail. I’ll let you know how it turns out. Wish me luck.

You haven’t aged!!! Look better than ever!!!

It really worked! It is super EASY!!! I wish I could show you a pic

I watched 2 of your videos again and they helped me so much with my hair. I like the easy instructions you give.

Oh my gosh! I watched your video years ago!! Still love your smile🤗

Love that you have thick, textured Latina hair like mine. Thank you. How bout highlighting next, with a Latina flair

Looks great! Can't wait to try it myself!!!!

Wonderful, a rescue vlog for all us home hair cutters right now. Very much needed.Thank you so much for posting this 🙏 You are my default go to for maintaining my hair. I have to keep replaying the video instructions and taking it in slow and steady but the tutorial really works & my hair looks really nice now 👍😚

Good video. Your hair looked really good. I have never done my own, but am willing to now try. Your personality is good for this video. Thanks for showing something that doesn't take an hour. And only two ponies to do. Not a whole head of divisions. Thanks, again.

OMG, your hair had grown soooo much since your last video. I tried it on my hair and it was better than going and having it cut in this little town where I live , 40 miles west of Ft Worth, Texas. Next time you do another video, p l e a s e style it to give us and idea of the different ways it can be styled. and what tools you use. My hair wasn't nearly as long as your's. It was just below my shoulders (the longest length. I've been letting it grow, so I'm just about to cut it again. My hair had been growing out for 3 years from a pixie cut. So, you can imagine how many different lengths it was, especially from my hair growing out on the sides over my ears. I'm crossing my fingers that it will turn out much better this time since allowing it to grow for a longer period of time. Keep your videos coming. I've told most of my friends and they are now cutting their own hair as well. Thanks for helping all of us! WE APPRECIATE YOU. God Bless You.

Mil gracias por tus tutoriales, tu tía te enseño super bien. Primera vez que me corto el cabello solita y quedo perfecto. Gracias nuevamente y que la vida te de salud y alegrias por montones. Felicidades por el nuevo tesorito que viene en camino

Another satisfied customer. 😁 My hair is long like hers but finer. It's awesome! My hair has life again! It's "joujable".

❤❤❤❤I absolutely 💯 appreciate you creating this 🎉

so many years off cutting and fuk ups so easy you could cry/never was one for hairdressers thank goodness as i would cry at how much time and money was wasted/hairdressers are great for feeling pamperd and having really complacated hair styles they should not go out of buissness /peace

You did a awesome job ,,,love how you tell us all the little stuff we need to know. That's amazing, thanks for all your tips and knowledge.

I just found your channel today. I have been cutting my own hair for a few years now, but this looks a whole easier......so I'm a fan and a new subscriber!

Holy shit. Just finished while following along, this is my favorite haircut of my life! Thank you so so much! 💖💖💖 You're amazing! And such a great teacher!

Omg its nice to see you again! The first video you did was amazing! You inspired me to cut my own hair. I've always wanted this type of hair cut easy, with volume and layers. Every hair stylist I'd go to never cut my hair the way I would ask for ., just layers . My hair is curly and when i cut my hair (thanks to you) the outcome was sooo nice😊 thanks for encouraging and inspiring. everyone to cut their own hair✂️ its been a while since I've been happy with my hair. Thanks again God bless you😘

My hair is fine..silver/white this technique work great for me. 😊

I just did mine!!! THANK YOU! This came out so lush!!! ❤️💯

Thank you so much for adding this video and for showing us all to cut layers into long hair. After watching your videos I got up the courage to cut my hair today, it needed it badly! I’ve never cut my hair before and it turned out great! I was pretty conservative but the long layers lie nicely And I kind of love it! During this crazy time where everything is closed I needed this. My ends aren’t all frayed anymore! 😃❤️

Thank youu for posting this!! ❤️ I did this for the first time last night, and WOW! 😭 it turned out better than I imagined! Definitely worth trying!!!

I just cut my hair again using your technique. I did it about 3 times during COVID but the last time I totally messed up making the front part too short. This time worked much better but I have discovered that my head is shaped like a football (looking at me it's narrow but very long in the back) so I've had to adjust the first pony so it's not cut too short and I barely take anything off the second pony. Anyway...thank you! I think the cut is better than any I can get around where I live.

I tried your technique and it worked... love it! I wish I can post a pic.

I needed this video lol my hair is so long and I want to do lairs. Thank you and you are a sweetheart.

You explain things very well. Your hair is gorgeous.

Hi again....ur my hero.!!! ..holy crap, all that hair!! Looks great every time you cut it!

I love your video. You are so sweet and, I thought you were going to cry when you made the last cut. I have bangs, so can you do a video for someone with bangs? Bless you and your hair cut is fabulous.

I need to get my haircut. I love your videos . I'm ready to go for cutting my hair.thank you so much

OmG yes this is what i paid$100 for and it sucks. I've let it grow out about 1". Time to color and streak and cut like this. Thanks so much. I love the back. I've got super thick kinki hair. Can't wait! 💙✌🏼

You do a wonderful job in explaining!!! Thank you.

Thank you for the updated video. So glad I found your video clip again. Will definitely follow your technique after I receive my hair cutting scissor. Just ordered it online. Will have to wait maybe till this weekend for its delivery. Have a nice weekend!

Thank you! I so need a "pick me up" self care change right about now. (Who doesn't, right?) Was excited to see your new video. It's a good day for a hair cut... Thanks for the encouragement. ❤️

Our Quarantine heroine!! Thank you so much!!❤️

Your technique is very good...I have tried it on my hair and I am loving it😍😍

Just found this and decided to be brave lol, my hair was about as long as yours (maybe a little shorter) and I cut it a little below my collar bone!!!!! Thank you so much, it actually looks great 😊❤

Thanks so much! I did the first video and I loved it! You are so adorable

Thanks for showing us 🤩💯

Omg I just did this ❤️❤️THANK YOU SO MUCH LOOK AT MY HAIR 💜💜💜💜💜💜💜💜🥰🥰🥰🥰🥰

OMG!! THANK YOU!! THANK YOU!! THANK YOU!! I have hair about the same length as yours. I had to get rid of my ends. They were driving me crazy! I followed along with your video and the results are amazing!!!! I love how it all flows together like a wave. The front frames my face BEAUTIFULLY!!! It's absolutely perfect. And you sweetie are ADORABLE !! Did I say THANK YOU?!!!! ❤

It worked !!! It just didn’t come out like a salon layered cut like graduated but there’s some type of layers so thankyouu!😊😊

👏thank you! My hair turned out amazing

I just did the trend on Tik Tok called the “wolf cut” which is pretty much the same. My hair length was the same as yours. Most people did three layers(from longest to shortest or from back, middle/behind ears and bangs). I personally only did the longest/length and the bangs. I totally forgot how curly my hair gets even though it’s only wavy. Once I cut my bangs(eyebrow level) it started curling up a lot! I want simple although I know I can use a hair straightener to flatten my bangs out. I went back and cut off about another inch off the bottom since it didn’t seem to be with most of the others(just like you said you might go back and cut off a bit more on your length). I love my new hair!

So good to see you back,,your such a beautiful person with,,No How to do easy beautiful layers,,I have long very thick hair way down my back as well,,when you did your first video,,sO did i,,,it was very easy and i loved it,,,i think now im gonna do my back pony for length to be maybe around my shoulder and maybe second pony about the bottom of my neck but im thinking framing around face and with a few VERY few pieces of hair for bangs that but not short as i get across the edge of the the eye start taking them longer lol they maybe called swiss bangs not sure so i could even with products and iron i can wear them to the side or to give me more volume at the top and with the beautiful layers with your cut it will all blend and I'll have so much more volume at the top and be able to style or wear straight, my hair has grown out of control lol,,Thanks for the videos and making layers easy for me because i never did no how to cut hair,, im ready to have shorter hair with layers and this time a Few long bangs,, And again thanks for coming back,,And by the way, your such a sweet down to earth person that taught me to cut and layer hair without being lol scared to pieces,,,I've subscribed so i can keep up with ya,,and sharing with my friends,,GOD BLESS AND BE SAFE,,OH LOL WISH ME LUCK ON THE BANGS PART,, BYE FOR NOW........
