@@maryparedes5909 on the brightside, if we all mess up haha, at least our hair stylists will still have a job. Imagine all the color corrections they will have to do!
i'm grateful how simple but functional you made it (gives me a LOT of comfort that you can wear a side part OR a middle part but cut it the same so I don't have to commit), and it's evident it's that good since people are coming to see it years later! i've pretty much gone my whole life with a straight blunt cut with my hair behind my head because i can't be fussed about styling or layers too much and didn't want to fork out a bunch of money for a hairstylist, but it also means that i can't pull out nicer looking face-framing parts when i want to wear my hair up/back but don't necessarily need the pure functionality of it literally ALL being up and back. The straight blunt cut I have with my wavy hair makes it so I get these cute chunky-but-not-super-chunky upward flicks at the tips which look really fun in ponytails, but I never wear them out because I didn't like not being able to frame my face without stupidly long strands! This tutorial seems like I'll be able to preserve most of the blunt cut and just have to blend the edges of the framing parts in which is great.
Love this tutorial. I don't get professional cuts any more. This is my go-to haircut tutorial and it always turns out just how I want; I save money and don't end up disappointed. Thank you!!
Thank you thank you thank you! I went to the hair dresser and she did a pigeon job (pooped on my head) and I came home and watched your video and I FIXED IT!!! Looving it. God bless you gorgeous
This is the third haircutting video I’ve seen today and it is by far the most detailed. I especially love her showing how she does the layers on the top portion of the head. Very helpful! Thanks!
Thank you. I've watched tons of tutorials and they never gave me a decent result. I have little sight and don't get out much. My mom convinced me to get a haircut last year that was awful. I'm growing out bad uneven layers and this tutorial finally helped!! Thank you.
panajane Well that’s good, and I know I used to always cut my own hair because hair stylists always cut way more than I ask but this Rona got me wanting to just give myself a trim lmao
I don't understand how someone as beautiful as you hasn't got more attention. I'm going to try this today and hopefully it'll turn out as beautiful as yours. Thumbs up for you
I did this and I love it sooo much. I actually thought I messed up but I didn't. My hair feels so light, especially at the front. Thank you so much for this tutorial, Melissa.
I've been a hairdresser for 20 years and you did an awesome job!!! I love watching people cut their hair. It makes me happy to see people save money. Haircuts aren't always in the budget. My hairdresser is incredibly expensive. I see her once a year. Lol.
Just used this Tutorial to cut my hair, for the first time in my life and it came out GORGEOUS! I’m obsessed, easiest tutorial, and she’s hilarious! I watched it twice, and cut during the 2nd viewing. Hair looks perfect! Love, love it! Thanks for sharing!
Thank you so much!!! I just did this because my ends were absolutely deaaaad and this fixed it. Plus when i blow dry my hair i feel like a girl from a Pantene commercial 💁🏻♀️💁🏻♀️💁🏻♀️
I've been so afraid to go and get my hair done again because countless times the hairstylists just doesn't do the job I wanted. I've ended up leaving with many inches off my hair then I asked as well. And I haven't cut my own hair since high school. I've looked and looked for ways to cut my hair the way I want it. I found your video thank lord! And I just got done cutting my hair its amazing! Almost all my dead ends are off and I didn't lose my length what so ever! Thank you so much for sharing this video with everyone!
Actually the very first of Countless videos I've watched that actually showed me how to FIX that big drop off! I can do a great job with everything but that and NOW I feel more than confident that I can even out around my face and lose that drop off! Thank you sooo much! I'm seriously about to get up at 1 am and do it! Lol! Thanks soooo much. Your hair turned out beautifully And you really did a Great job explaining! I Definitely Subscribed and SAVED your video!
I middle of the night (insomnia mixed with a 2 day migraine) decided I had to have long layers in the front, because I have a military ball to go to on Saturday (I realize not one of the things I just said means it was a smart idea to cut my own hair.....) and I want the front of my updo to have a little more softness. I followed this video, and it looks so good! Not too much, not too little, and blended perfectly! Thank you so much, the sharp angle and over directing the hair made a huge difference. My best advice would be to cut longer than you think you want. I decided I could always go shorter, so I thought I was cutting 2-3” below where I thought I wanted, and then once the hair wasn’t under tension anymore, it was actually exactly what I wanted. If I had tried to go shorter from the beginning, it would have been too short.
Thank you for spending the time to do this video. The way you demonstrated and explained the video actually allowed me to correctly cut my hair and get the results I have been looking for. This technique was one of the easiest that I have run across, and I know with further practice I will be able to perfect my cut and finally be free of having to pay someone else to cut my hair. Much love and thank again
Thank you so much for this tutorial! I have layered straight hair, side swept bangs, and I have moved and not found a hairstylist to cut my hair yet. I was dreading trimming my side swept bangs and wanted to find a good tutorial for it, and yours is just perfect. You show and explain everything so nicely, that I was able to have the confidence to go for it. I had found a bunch of tutorials for side swept bangs but they were all meant to keep the bangs on the same side, and I like switching it up and let it get longer at times. I have been able to achieve great results both times I watched your tutorial and went for it. I don't do the whole process, only the first part, cause my hair a little bellow shoulder length and I'd never risk messing it up, so I just do the front part respecting the original bangs my hairstylist had cut. I can't thank you enough for this. Best tutorial ever! Thank you! Thank you! Thank you!
Hi Melissa, I cut my hair with you and blow it now. You said there was no way to have perfect cut, I accepted that. I was ready to go hair dresser after. However I have a very stilish hair now. It came out perfect! Thank you very much! And for those who will try; trick is parting your hair.
Thank you! That was the best tutorial on how to blend the front layers (simply) that I've ever seen. I wish I could find one on how to add one or two more long blended layers in the back using a similar technique.
I watched this video a couple of times and then just went for it. It worked like a charm! My hair was unreasonably long so I ended up cutting off 5-6 inches in the back and 3-5 inches in the front. My hair has so many layers now and has great movement. The shape and length is exactly how I wanted it at it looks fantastic just air drying with some argon oil and tousling mouse for a nice beach wavy look. I keep getting compliments on how it came out and people can’t believe that I just cut it myself. My hair is still really long but it looks so much better now. Thank you for such a great tutorial! ❤️❤️❤️
I spent $400 for a haircut and color thinking that it was going to be amazing it wasn't. After coming home and watching your video I cut my hair exactly the way you said so. It turned out really good. Cutting my own hair from now on. I've got really fine hair and this blended it really nicely without making the ends look thin. Thank you!!!!
My gosh!! This is unrelated but sister.... you... are... stunning! Just ridiculously pretty and I am so envious lol (very helpful video by the way and thank you for posting)
Yes I am back again for a review! Going to be cutting my hair using this video for the fourth time now. Bless you! My hair is the one thing I can control lol
My hairstylist always disappoints when it comes to layering the front so I tried doing this last night, it worked! I was afraid to cut as much as your instructions but now I know I can do it, thank you so much!
I watched your video yesterday and cut my hair. It’s the hair cut I have always wanted and never got at a salon. It’s not quite perfect, but I love it! Thank you so much ❤️
Ok. So I have been shortening my fringe the past 2 week with some kitchen scissors. My hairdresser scissors finally arrived today after two weeks of waiting. So here I was again cutting my fringe and had made a complete mess of it, it looked way too heavy and short, at a stretch just under my jaw. Went online to see if I can find a video to fix the weird look and here I am, after 30 mins of staring into the mirror with these weird scissors which by the way don’t even happen to have a point, don’t get that, and hooray! I have followed your instructions carefully and it looks quite good, considering what it looked like before. I will sleep tonight :) Thank you soo soo much, you’ve saved me :)
Every time I asked for this hair cut no one would do it because they want to take length off rather than. Sharper slant to meet the end. Not very intelligent. I’ll take this video to the salon next time or do it myself.
Theresa Brewer that’s often because some stylists avoid bending the rules or can’t see past the basics. Long over directed layers is the best way to explain it....most stylists just don’t know how to or are intimidated to bend these rules.
I have been using your video to cut me framing layers since 2017, always happier with doing it myself because the salons dont always get it the way i want, either make it too thin or too deep and then my face looks square, or too choppy. This is just perfect for me. I do this even after getting a fresh hair cut and it works really well.
Absolutely soooo grateful you posted this video - I have very long hair as well, and fine, and no way am I going back to hair dresser as I ask for 1" trim and 6" are on the ground. I have watched countless professional salon videos and when I try their technique, its always an epic fail. I watched this a few times before trying, and it went great - the best success I have had doing long layers myself, and that is 100% thanks to your video. So eternally grateful !! I have sent this link to friends and family - thank you thank you :)
!!!PRO TIP (from a non-professional)!!! Cutting your hair wet can cause split ends. But for those of us with thick, coarse and/or wavy hair, cutting dry is way too hard. Last time I followed this tutorial I saturated my dry hair with coconut oil and it was "wet" enough to cut and I could get a fine tooth comb through my hair, something I had never done ever. So far, no split ends at all! It does take two shampoos to get the coconut oil out, because you really do have to saturate your hair. I used almost a half cup in my tailbone-length hair. Thanks again Melissa for the stellar tutorial.
Out of the hundreds of self-haircutting videos on TH-cam you're only like 1 of 3 that I actually feel secure in following because it turned out so pretty/professional looking lol. Question though why didn't you use thinning shears/what difference would it make if you used them (would you recommend holding/cutting it differently from what you did in the video)? Thanks Melissa! :)
Used this hair tutorial years ago and im back again! Still have the same layers but longer. i just want to say to anyone who is planning to cut your own hair using this tutorial " its alot of work and you need to take your time but the end result is amazing! ☺
Melissa thank you so much! I have long hair that I just put into a messy bun. But, now I can just cut the front and style it nice instead of just long, boring, blah.
Melissa Pereira Great job! I want to ask you how the back ends up falling? Does it fall straight across, in a deep V or ??? I really want to try your technique but I gotta know that part! Thanks for posting!
I used your tutorial a month ago and my hair came out fab. Seeing this again since it’s time for another trim. Thank you....you’re gorgeous and you do a great job. Yay 😁
I just did this and my hair looks better than ever, I'm so grateful. Ahh awesome thank you. I washed it with Pureology Hydrate right before to get it wet, and sprayed it with a mix of leave in conditioner and water throughout the process, (which helps because my hair is naturally dry and brittle.) Two things I did differently: The initial cut in front, I cut it into a triangle instead of straight across. (It might fix the issue of ever having the center being too short again.) Second thing: I dried my hair, then combed two layers at mid-crown and trimmed them one-by-one fairly uniformly. (Straight across for the crown cuts, gives easy volume, don't take too much off.) Again, my hair looks amazing and I hadn't cut it for 15 months prior. Wow.
will try this later today because hair salons always ruin my hair. hopefully this will fix my boring long hair :) you did such a great job and this video was so helpful thank you so much
This comment is 4 years old and I hope you're doing well because I always have the same bad experiences with hairdressers! I tried at least 20 hairdressers and I'm just done with them. They always want to cut more hair than they should and put me under pressure. Now I'll do it on my own
If you use hairdryer, do not do it anymore. If you won't go outside on a cold day, allows it to dry naturally. The last rinse with water try that it is cold & don't wash it so frequently. From own experience, the products that make it silky & shiny: masks of olive oil, honey, & then wash normal + a spoonful of apple cider vinegar, mixed with water in sink with half water, this in the last rinse. (do not worry about the smell, there's nothing left)
I have never had a good stylist. I have learned a lot though during covid and I am cutting my own hair now even though I have screwed it up a few times. In Dec 2020 a stylist stacked my hair when all I wanted was the last 2 inches layered and lightened up in weight. Instead she chopped and stacked my hair. The shorted and longest layer was a foot apart and my hair was only at the top of my shoulders! I cried for months and here I am almost two years later and I am now almost out of having a "tail" at the end of my hair. My hair is only at the collar bone because I have had to keep trimming the bottom while the top layers catch up. It has been a nightmare. Now my face framing layers have a "hole" area from me messing them up but this video helped me to even it out some and now I just have to let it grow. Your video was very helpful. I need to find a video of yours for cutting the back as I do want a bit of layer in the back. I think your old one from 2016 has it. Thanks so much.
Am sitting here smiling.... I just copied your video and I look great! Had a long bob, till 15 minutes ago straight till over the shoulder/ collar bone. I cut the center just under my chin, first checked if that length would fit behind my ear, to both sides it does. Then started snipping.... then blow dry... now smiling! Seriously people are going to ask if I went to the salon. Thanx for posting this, you made my day!
Thank you for this video. I too have long straight hair and want face-framing layers .... your video gives me courage to "just do this thing" :-) You are gorgeous, by the way, and your hair looks amazing
Thank you Melissa... I tried your technique last weekend doing it for bangs I cut from the bridge of my nose (much shorter bangs). I tapered to the length of my hair which is 5 inches lower than the top of my shoulder. It really looks good. This will finally saves me from going to a hairdresser, with exception to having them cut the back of my hair (so I will go to Sport Cuts or some other econo hair cut place to do that). Thank you soooooo much!
Thank god for this. I don't really have money for a stylist right now. I was trying to grow out blunt bangs and they looked absolutely awful at their awkward length. Cutting them in this shape integrates them much better.
Thank you once again for this awesome video, haven't been to a salon since, saving so much money but also having so much more control over what I want. Thank you!
My hair is about medium length but I've been doing smaller versions of cutting my own hair for years so I'm going to try this tonight. Also, my hair stylist is up the street and will take me as a walk in if I blow it. Best tutorial I've seen for this so far!
i just wanted to share, i watched this video yearssss ago and i absolutely loved my hair its the perfect technique just everything, for years in a row i was the only one cutting my own hair i wouldnt trust anyone. the beginning of 2020 i decided to go get my hair cut... ended up with the choppiest layers in my life and im still really struggling with it. it a process but regardless i want to thank you for this video💗
Finally felt comfortable with cutting layers after watching this and it worked amazingly! I have waist long thick hair that was getting unruly and it needed something unmajor to shake it up a bit. Thankyou, this was a great easy to follow tutorial 😄
Omg 😩 I'm so dumb!!!!! So I had a long bob but I'm way overdue for a haircut and was like hmmmmm I'm gonna cut my hair 😂😂😂 found this video and thought hey this is easy omg I totally messed up my hair 😂😂😂😂
Ok I said I was scared and wouldn’t do it again.. but I’m back baby! Excited to do this again! I was watching old snap videos of my hair after the first time I cut it and it was so fluffy and pretty!! I knew I needed to do it again! Thanks so much for this video!! 💗💕💗
Your voice is so calming ^-^ by the way I wanted to ask why did she split her hair through the middle if they're side swept in just asking because I wanna try it out and not mess up not judging or trying to sound rude c: I wish you a wonderful day too
Me: cutting my own, shoulder length hair, while listening to this for the first time..... You: definitely watch this a few times before trying this yourself, watch me rather than listen and dont try this on short hair 🙈😂🤣
Who else is here for COVID-19 haircuts
lol I am desperate wish us all good luck on our haircuts!
Lmfao omg me!!!! 🤣🤣🤣

Love her tho
How did it go lmao
Due to personal feelings i believe she looks cute ! Yet she wanted something completely different she wanted a fringe W/ short hair

I have followed your instructions carefully and it looks quite good, considering what it looked like before. I will sleep tonight :) Thank you soo soo much, you’ve saved me :)
the best ways to cut layers.. I've tried it and got the perfect look of my hairs... thank you so much 💕💕💕
I cut my hair a couple times a year is all, and I always go back to this video bc it works every time, looks great, and is super light. Thanks!!
Every time I asked for this hair cut no one would do it because they want to take length off rather than. Sharper slant to meet the end. Not very intelligent. I’ll take this video to the salon next time or do it myself.
Theresa Brewer that’s often because some stylists avoid bending the rules or can’t see past the basics. Long over directed layers is the best way to explain it....most stylists just don’t know how to or are intimidated to bend these rules.
Soooooo, did you show the video and did it work ? :D
Best way i explain is the U shape.
DUDE THANK YOU
Mine turned out great!! With the hairdresser out of town I finally took the plunge, and had success thanks to you!
Gonna go wash my hair and then try this out! x
I have been using your video to cut me framing layers since 2017, always happier with doing it myself because the salons dont always get it the way i want, either make it too thin or too deep and then my face looks square, or too choppy. This is just perfect for me. I do this even after getting a fresh hair cut and it works really well.
I just did this and it worked great! My hair feels lighter and I love having some pieces to leave down with buns and stuff. Pretty easy too!
Absolutely soooo grateful you posted this video - I have very long hair as well, and fine, and no way am I going back to hair dresser as I ask for 1" trim and 6" are on the ground. I have watched countless professional salon videos and when I try their technique, its always an epic fail. I watched this a few times before trying, and it went great - the best success I have had doing long layers myself, and that is 100% thanks to your video. So eternally grateful !! I have sent this link to friends and family - thank you thank you :)
omggg finally found a videoo doing the the hair how I wantt
Hands down the best haircut tutorial ever 🙌
I love her voice she should voice over everything. Also, her hair came out awesome!
Thank you love xo
!!!PRO TIP (from a non-professional)!!! Cutting your hair wet can cause split ends. But for those of us with thick, coarse and/or wavy hair, cutting dry is way too hard. Last time I followed this tutorial I saturated my dry hair with coconut oil and it was "wet" enough to cut and I could get a fine tooth comb through my hair, something I had never done ever. So far, no split ends at all! It does take two shampoos to get the coconut oil out, because you really do have to saturate your hair. I used almost a half cup in my tailbone-length hair.
Thanks again Melissa for the stellar tutorial.
great advice!
This is the best hair tutorial for cutting your own hair, and now i'm gonna try it. Hope I won't mess up. 😁
Thank you! Hope it went well!
I just cut my own hair and I have to say it has movement now!!!! In time I will get better but am soooooo happy with it. Thank you!!
Out of the hundreds of self-haircutting videos on TH-cam you're only like 1 of 3 that I actually feel secure in following because it turned out so pretty/professional looking lol. Question though why didn't you use thinning shears/what difference would it make if you used them (would you recommend holding/cutting it differently from what you did in the video)? Thanks Melissa! :)
Used this hair tutorial years ago and im back again! Still have the same layers but longer. i just want to say to anyone who is planning to cut your own hair using this tutorial " its alot of work and you need to take your time but the end result is amazing! ☺
Melissa thank you so much! I have long hair that I just put into a messy bun. But, now I can just cut the front and style it nice instead of just long, boring, blah.
watched this last night and tried it out as soon as I woke up.. and my hair came out so goood!!!! I’m obsessed 🥰
Love this hair tutorial, so helpful. Thank you so much x
Thank you! I'm so happy you liked it!
ciao Robert
Melissa Pereira Great job! I want to ask you how the back ends up falling? Does it fall straight across, in a deep V or ??? I really want to try your technique but I gotta know that part! Thanks for posting!
I used your tutorial a month ago and my hair came out fab. Seeing this again since it’s time for another trim. Thank you....you’re gorgeous and you do a great job. Yay 😁
I just did this and my hair looks better than ever, I'm so grateful. Ahh awesome thank you. I washed it with Pureology Hydrate right before to get it wet, and sprayed it with a mix of leave in conditioner and water throughout the process, (which helps because my hair is naturally dry and brittle.) Two things I did differently: The initial cut in front, I cut it into a triangle instead of straight across. (It might fix the issue of ever having the center being too short again.) Second thing: I dried my hair, then combed two layers at mid-crown and trimmed them one-by-one fairly uniformly. (Straight across for the crown cuts, gives easy volume, don't take too much off.) Again, my hair looks amazing and I hadn't cut it for 15 months prior. Wow.
will try this later today because hair salons always ruin my hair. hopefully this will fix my boring long hair :) you did such a great job and this video was so helpful thank you so much
thank you and you're welcome! Hope it went well ;)
it went sooo well! love my new layers :)
This comment is 4 years old and I hope you're doing well because I always have the same bad experiences with hairdressers! I tried at least 20 hairdressers and I'm just done with them. They always want to cut more hair than they should and put me under pressure. Now I'll do it on my own
Absolutely loved this guide. It’s the best explanation that I have seen for non hairdressers. Thank you 😊
I got distracted with just how beautiful and soft your hair looks. My damn hair is so lifeless. I will be trying this tonight
Ritika Rworld Thank you so much. I will do this too. I still doubt it will ever be as lovely as your hair.
Thank you, I have a video call all about my hair. I share some products and talk a little about my hair if you wanna check it out
@@lowkeyhairstudio hola muchas gracias por tu tutorial
If you use hairdryer, do not do it anymore. If you won't go outside on a cold day, allows it to dry naturally. The last rinse with water try that it is cold & don't wash it so frequently. From own experience, the products that make it silky & shiny: masks of olive oil, honey, & then wash normal + a spoonful of apple cider vinegar, mixed with water in sink with half water, this in the last rinse. (do not worry about the smell, there's nothing left)
i did it. for the first time i got the courage to cut my own hair and its really beautiful. Thank you for the tutorial.
Would have liked to see how it looked from the back.
Sorry, thats an excellent point!! I will be doing a how I blow dry/Style my hair so ill show a back view then
I have never had a good stylist. I have learned a lot though during covid and I am cutting my own hair now even though I have screwed it up a few times. In Dec 2020 a stylist stacked my hair when all I wanted was the last 2 inches layered and lightened up in weight. Instead she chopped and stacked my hair. The shorted and longest layer was a foot apart and my hair was only at the top of my shoulders! I cried for months and here I am almost two years later and I am now almost out of having a "tail" at the end of my hair. My hair is only at the collar bone because I have had to keep trimming the bottom while the top layers catch up. It has been a nightmare. Now my face framing layers have a "hole" area from me messing them up but this video helped me to even it out some and now I just have to let it grow. Your video was very helpful. I need to find a video of yours for cutting the back as I do want a bit of layer in the back. I think your old one from 2016 has it. Thanks so much.
Thanks for this video, by far the best and clearest instructions ever
+Lalida Kong Thank you hun!! Makes me feel little more comfortable with it haha I felt like I was getting a little hard to follow xox
Am sitting here smiling.... I just copied your video and I look great! Had a long bob, till 15 minutes ago straight till over the shoulder/ collar bone. I cut the center just under my chin, first checked if that length would fit behind my ear, to both sides it does. Then started snipping.... then blow dry... now smiling! Seriously people are going to ask if I went to the salon. Thanx for posting this, you made my day!
love love love to hear comments like these. Thank you so much for taking the time to let me know how it went xo
Thank you for this video. I too have long straight hair and want face-framing layers .... your video gives me courage to "just do this thing" :-) You are gorgeous, by the way, and your hair looks amazing
love this! hope you tried it and it went well! And thank you xoxox
Thank you Melissa... I tried your technique last weekend doing it for bangs I cut from the bridge of my nose (much shorter bangs). I tapered to the length of my hair which is 5 inches lower than the top of my shoulder. It really looks good. This will finally saves me from going to a hairdresser, with exception to having them cut the back of my hair (so I will go to Sport Cuts or some other econo hair cut place to do that). Thank you soooooo much!
This is some life changing shit. Thank you
Haha, thank you! and you're welcome
Thank god for this. I don't really have money for a stylist right now. I was trying to grow out blunt bangs and they looked absolutely awful at their awkward length. Cutting them in this shape integrates them much better.
Her voice is like a sweet charm
Thank you once again for this awesome video, haven't been to a salon since, saving so much money but also having so much more control over what I want. Thank you!
Watching this because I want to get the most out of my Revlon one-step hairdryer 😄
My hair is about medium length but I've been doing smaller versions of cutting my own hair for years so I'm going to try this tonight. Also, my hair stylist is up the street and will take me as a walk in if I blow it. Best tutorial I've seen for this so far!
AWESOME tutorial. I wish I could share a picture. My hair looks great.
Danielle Black 🤗 add me on Instagram!! I wanna see
@melispereira
I’m going to try this. Best tutorial I’ve seen! You have beautiful hair.
i just wanted to share, i watched this video yearssss ago and i absolutely loved my hair its the perfect technique just everything, for years in a row i was the only one cutting my own hair i wouldnt trust anyone. the beginning of 2020 i decided to go get my hair cut... ended up with the choppiest layers in my life and im still really struggling with it. it a process but regardless i want to thank you for this video💗
This makes me so happy!!! Thank you for sharing
2019 best tutorial on your tube ever!
Finally felt comfortable with cutting layers after watching this and it worked amazingly! I have waist long thick hair that was getting unruly and it needed something unmajor to shake it up a bit. Thankyou, this was a great easy to follow tutorial 😄
Omg 😩 I'm so dumb!!!!! So I had a long bob but I'm way overdue for a haircut and was like hmmmmm I'm gonna cut my hair 😂😂😂 found this video and thought hey this is easy omg I totally messed up my hair 😂😂😂😂
Me too, damn...I had such long hair and I messed this up big time
So did I!! Don’t know what to do to fix it 😩
Same!! I just ruined my hair. Then I tried to fix it by cutting more off and it looks awful lol
omg I feel you I just cant do it myself she makes it look so easy.
Now I’m scared to try this tutorial
Ok I said I was scared and wouldn’t do it again.. but I’m back baby! Excited to do this again! I was watching old snap videos of my hair after the first time I cut it and it was so fluffy and pretty!! I knew I needed to do it again! Thanks so much for this video!! 💗💕💗
Your voice is so calming ^-^ by the way I wanted to ask why did she split her hair through the middle if they're side swept in just asking because I wanna try it out and not mess up not judging or trying to sound rude c: I wish you a wonderful day too
Loren Zhang so that both sides are even
Boring Boring-ness I tried this a month ago and it was good but last week I chopped my hair off so I don't need to worry anymore
Loren Zhang oh i hope you're happy with the look ;)
exactly! thank you for answering her for me ;)
Melissa Pereira If I have a deep side part will this work?
Thanks
I so suck at this but the calming voice helps before I jump
Soooo
happy I found this video again
I could not deal with the other videos
'You'll want to watch this video a few times' -
*me, following step by step, half my hair gone* -' oh no'
Just tried this tonight, I have very fine hair, but a LOT OF IT so took me a bit longer but very happy with the result. Thank you for sharing 💚💚
Me: cutting my own, shoulder length hair, while listening to this for the first time.....
You: definitely watch this a few times before trying this yourself, watch me rather than listen and dont try this on short hair 🙈😂🤣
Just did this following instructions and my hair turned out awesome! saved some money and look great! Thank you so much!
Yes! Thats what I like to hear!!
How does the cut look from the back? is it a sharp "V"?
BEST tutorial!!! I cut my hair a week ago and royally messed it up, this fixed it :)
