Brittnee I just wanted to say that I cut my hair I believe it was for my birthday it was some special occasion and I took risk and cut it.
I wanted to say thank you to you because I got a lot of attention for it however I lost your video.
I learned how to work TH-cam now so I found it today just a few minutes ago actually. Thank you so much when I get my haircut at the hairdresser either nobody notices it or they didn’t like it.
I am 61 years old and I had so many raves from friends last year for my hair I felt so good
I really appreciate what you did for us people that Have not got too much money thank you
Omg, so darn easy! U have changed my life girl! No more hairdresser bills for me!

23:23 here 😀😀 let’s do this
I love when u cut ur own hair...I learn that way and u explain very simple..Thank u
I've used your tutorial so many times, thank you! You're amazing and great at explaining things! I've gotten so many compliments following your tutorials it's unreal.
Brittnee, you have the BEST DIY hair videos for women! Hands down!! I subscribed and only need your videos to cut and color my hair. Thank you!
YAY! So glad you are here!
agree 💯🎯♥️
I’m so glad for your hair texture, it’s exactly like mine. Which is why your videos are SO helpful!! Thin, fine straight hair is difficult to cut, style and achieve volume. 😮💨 I love your tutorials!!! Thank you so much girl!
Thank you Britnee! My hair looks so much better! During this time many people are financially struggling (so this helps us from from getting depressed) and looking FABULOUS! ✨💖🥳💥💋❤💖
You are welcome, so glad it could help!!
@@BrittneeAlexus last thing I have to do is point cut the ends 👍.
I don't have a lot of hair but now that the weight is gone it's so much fuller. Hugs from Arizona
Literally so helpful, so refreshing to get advice that doesn't go on and on about how you should really go to a salon, love love your hair videos!!
It's great when technique is taught, usually one just sees a demo of the steps involved. Good work, Brittnee, and thank you!
It came out perfect! I think this technique even helped me get more of a U shape instead of that one cut length that isn't the best for my hair texture/thickness. Thank you Brittnee 💖💖
I just followed this cut on my thick hair and its perfect!!!! Thanks so much!!!! My hair feels so healthy!
She said " so for this, you to have some hair". I laughed like I never laughed before lol
Lol here to brighten the day!!!
I've been using this technique since February (my hairdresser went AWOL) I have wavy thick hair and for me this cut is very forgiving of my beginner mistakes 🙃
Stunning! I am astonished and delighted to tell you what wonderful results your video has given me. I watched several videos before choosing this one (and watching it several times!). Then I cut an inch off my extremely thin fine hair using my sharpest scissors (nail scissors!) and giving it a quick blow dry. So pleased Brittney.
I followed your curtain bang video and I received so many compliments. Thanks for clear instructions.
Fantastic tutorial! I used 3 of your videos to give myself a 'hair makeover' and it turned out great! Thank you so much!
Bud and Jamae Nelson-👋👌🥳
I have watched a lot of hair cutting videos and yours are without a doubt the best!
❤️❤️thank you!!!
You are an angel sent by the hair gods!!
cue the holy music!!!!
I followed this video along with your How to Cut Side Bangs video and How to Cut Your Own Long Layers and got THE BEST CUT EVER!!! You're a genius. Thank you, Brittnee!!
YOU GO!!! thank you for letting me know❤️❤️
Your technique is so easy to follow. Thank you so much!❤
I love ur hair cutting videos!! Ur the best at explaining the how’s and whys of what ur doing and that’s just so awesome! Thank u!!
Thank you! and welcome to "TH-cam Hairdressing Academy" ill print you a license off photoshop after you watch all the tutorials you'll be a pro LOL
@@BrittneeAlexus 🥳🤣
After watching your video several times, I tried this tonight. I just wanted to take a little bit off (I like the length but haven’t got it cut in a while so the ends were looking scraggly), and it turned out great!
The only small refinement I did to your technique was put a few elastics down the length (like double ponytails) of each side because my hair is thick and without them the hair wasn’t laying smoothly together. Worked like a charm!
Thank you for empowering me and saving me money and hassle 👍😊
So helpful and so much fun watching you. Thank you! ❤
Thank you! Thank you! Thank you! I used this video to trim my length and your other vids to cut my bangs and blend them around my face. I've cut my hair before when it was super short, but had no idea how to trim long hair. Your explanations are outstanding and so easy to follow!
YAY! Awesome job Joy, so glad it could help! Thank you for letting me know!
I’ve had short hair my whole life and have grown it out recently to find it is curly/wavy and very thick 😅going to be trying this tomorrow!! 🤞🏻🤞🏻
Brittnee!! Thank you so much for sharing these videos!! I know you from tik tok, I was so excited when I searched for diy haircut and your face was one of the first to pop up. My hair was so dead and I HATE going to the salon, I only do maybe once a year and I will just dye it myself but I never tried cutting it. I finally decided to try it for myself and your videos gave me that confidence. By far the best and easiest to follow tutorials that I watched. I just did my first trim and long layer and took a little weight out of the corners and it came out great! So much better than I would have imagined and I was so impressed with myself. I must have resectioned my hair 10 times but I was going to make sure I did it slow and as accurately as possible. I did minorly cut my finger once because I have no spatial awareness lol. Now I have the tools and confidence I need to continue cutting my own hair and know that I won’t totally mess up. It’s just hair after all and I had a lot of fun. I want to try more framing layers and maybe bangs in the future and I know with your help it is possible. Thank you so much for sharing your expertise in a simple, concise and non judge mental way. You’re so sweet and funny. Love you!!
YAY!!!!!! this makes me so happy!!! It will get easier every time for you (the finger part though, I still cut mine all the time because SAME on awareness!) I have a video for "Bardot Bangs" if you use that method but keep it super long, it makes a really nice face framing layer. Thank you for joining me on this side of the internet!!❤️
@@BrittneeAlexus thanks for the tip with the Bardot bangs!! I can’t wait to try❤️
Hi, thank you so much for your videos. My sister used to be my hairdresser but since she got RA she can't work and I don't trust anyone else with my hair. I have been cutting my hair with the help of your fantastic videos and I loved it. Please don't stop!!!
I watched your video....a few times! Got my shears and followed your directions. IT CAME OUT FANTASTIC!!!! Thank you so much. I've forwarded this video to my sister!!!
YOU GO Jeannie!!!!
So easy to follow! Got rid of my frayed ends exactly how I wanted. Thank you for this awesome video!
Gurl you are my sister that I haven't met yet,but I love when you say 'like,unlike subscribe, unsubscribe,who cares!'what a confident woman you are,I love the hair cut tips ..that's what I am doing and my friends where amazed by how it looks!
Helloooo to my soul sister!!!!!! you go girl!
I haven't had a haircut in over 6 years!! I
My bff attempted to give me a lil trim 5 months ago but it's grown out. I got tons of split ends. Praying this is my solution for lookin hot AF again!! Everyday I wear my hair pulled back in a messy bun or ponytail. It's not cute at all& I feel like if I had my hair done cut properly I'd get some confidence back. I'm about to try this..Wish me luck. PS I found ur page today n been binge watching all ur vids back to back. Ur literally #goalsAF #girlcrush sending U love from Seattle 🤍🙏😜💯💋
Love your videos! Love your personality and of course, you are extremely talented! Thank you for posting these videos. They really help people like myself who are on a strict budget.👍👍
These videos are so helpful. Could you do a video on cutting the back of your own hair cs it never fails to be uneven when I cut my own hair and I find it to be the most challenging? Usually I end up with a pointed back end lol 😆
I love this look at the end! That’s exactly what I want. Now I’m excited that I just might be able to do it by myself, following your video, of course. 👍🏼💜
So so helpful! Best video I’ve found on DIY hair cutting (and I’ve seen a lot). Thanks so much for doing this!
Oh wowowowow!! thank you I feel really happy about that!!! Glad it could help!!!
Update - immediately after watching the video I tried this out and it totally worked. I also followed your side bang tutorial and that worked like a charm too! 👌🏻
You make this look so easy! Thanks for posting it!
THANK YOU for watching❤️❤️
I am seeing your tutorial videos for the first time, and they are great. We are passed the worse of pandemic but now it's sky high prices on everything. I am going to attempt a trim to hold me over until I can get to the beauty parlor.
So excited to try your tricks and tips. Been cutting my own hair off and on for like 34 years. Was easier when I had long hair. But the new shorter styles are trickier. 😊 Thank you so much
YAYAYAY!!! Let me know how it goes! Here if you need any help!!
This tutorial saved the cut of my hair! I had it pretty messed up from watching other tutorials and yours was so easy to follow!
This was a 1,000 times easier than any other video I’ve watched - just a note - be careful!! I cut my finger doing point cutting - those $10 scissors are sharp!
Oh NO!!! ouch!
Thank you! I'm in Ontario and we're locked down due to the second wave of COVID. My last haircut was February of last year and my hair has gotten far too long. I just cut a lot off using this technique. My hair is much thicker but it worked fine and it still only took maybe 5 minutes. I'm going to pass this along to anyone who's interested.
YAY! So happy that it worked for you! And thank you for sharing with your friends! Happy quarantine days, hopefully this is your last lock down!
just tried this tonight 4/6/21 10:44pm eastern and it turned out fine. first time but it didnt become a disaster. ty brittnee. it worked :) i just have trouble with my point cutting due to scissors being hard to open. theyre bad quality lol
My hair is as fine as yours so its good to see work done......my mothers hair was even finer and we were hairdressers!..........she was delighted when hair pieces and wigs became fashionable!.......just about to cut my hair.....thanks for the tips......love your tattoos
Do you have a video on cutting toddler boys' hair?
I have a feeling that if I can learn from YOU I can pull it off!
You're an amazing teacher!
I don't but that is a great idea! Maybe I can whip one up sometime!
Just tried this! Love it! Need some layers in front but I’m skeered! Thank you for your videos! 💖
Thank you SOO MUCH! Best tutorial for hair I've ever seen. So thorough! Here I go! xo
you will do great!!!
Don't know about your hair , actually I have thin hair too...lol...but your eyes are mesmerizing...thank you for teaching us what we need to know...so far your channel is my dream channel...that is exactly what people need right now ...thank you!
I have been cutting my own hair to this video since COVID. My hair looks like shiz, but surprisingly good considering... Thanks so much for these videos!
Hey again my beautiful 🤩 I am watching your cutting vids before I put in my tape extension not sure what color yet. lol. On to bangs😘
Go Girl! I just put mine in a few days ago (video on them and tips will be out Sunday!) Let me know how it goes!
That’s my favorite cut on you!!
thank you Diana!
My hair turned out perfect!!!!! Thank you so so so so much!!!!!!!
Can't wait to try. Thanks so much for this!
You're the best just subscribeed ❤❤❤
Bringing it all the way to the front for me gives me a rounded cut in the back.
You are amazing thank you so much for educating us you're a very good teacher where are you from I would love to come and see you you're awesome
I have super fine hair. Any time, all my life, that Ive went to a salon asking for long layers and layers around my face Ive been told my hair is too thin. I always felt I was being bullshat
Thank you! This worked great. I have been avoiding salons due to covid but after so long without a haircut I decided to give this a try. I was afraid it would make a U shape in back but it turned out pretty straight! :-)
YAY! You GO!!!! Now you saved yourself some $$$ get yourself a reward !
Thankyou it was so easy
Why do I wanna try this at the moment 🤷♀️🤷♀️🤷♀️
I just used this video and the one cutting layers on the top while leaving the side and back length... I love the blunt even straight cut on my ends!!! Never in the future will I go get that done at a Salon... I have done it twice now with the same perfect straight lines. First time doing cutting the top only layers. My extremely thin hair was all one length down to the top of my butt... I decided to cut wet. Length wise I went to my belly button to make the cut. Its perfect... the top of the head layers; well... that one I felt it best to cut half way between my chin and my breast. The middle of my chest basically... I am really glad I did not cut just below my chin... which I was considering... your words to go longer and cut again later was the deciding factor to go longer... I am totally glad I did... totally glad you strongly suggested to go longer instead of shorter, especially if the hair was wet... with the length being down to my waist, the top layer cut actually looks good. I would not have been happy had I gone shorter on the top... My hair now frames the face, I added whispy curtain bangs and I look and feel like a new woman! More 2023 versus 2000. I have been wearing my hair straight, one length and long for decades! There is bounce, lift, swing and the way it naturally falls is truly pretty... it looks fab and healthy... I have so many ways I can now style the hair. I detangled, then finger combed, scrunched, let air dry. The results amazing! Looking forward to curling it tomorrow to see what that looks like... Bonus, I feel it is going to look just as good as it grows out. I am so glad I did not do the unicorn cut with the 2 pony tails... I would have hated it!!!! This technique was exactly what I was looking for! It does not lie flat, does not looked chopped, does not have the v or u in the back... and it does not look thinner. It looks fuller... I watched literally hours of diy unicorn, bangs, face framing and wolf cut videos of women who had long thin hair... Yours is the only one that teaches this diy style of cuts! Your directions clear and easy to follow!!! Thank you so much!!!
Wish me luck I have super thick super curly hair but definitely gonna try this ugh so scared but gonna do it!!!
Brittnee I cant seem to really get the up and down aspect of it HELP. I love your videos
Which part is not making sense?
Got my hair cut finally after months of lockdown and the girl butchered it 🙄 gonna fix it now. Wish me luck 💚
GOOD LUCK! You will do great!
If you have a side parting would you still cut this in the middle?
I typically do because I wear it to both sides, but if you always always part it to that side, cut it to the side!
I bring my hair to front like that all the time. Never thought to bring them together. I always have to eye the sides to compare. Ha. This will be so much easier
Will this cut give that shorter in the back and gradually gets longer as you move toward the front look? Thanks for your help in advance.
it will be slightly, but for the most part it creates a one length
"Flush with my flesh" works for me....learning to cut my wife's hair. I've cut my own for thirty years...saved a few pennies I guess. Great tutorial. Thanks!
Brittnee thanks so much . First we need hair 😂 that was funny 😆
OMG, you crack me up! Just love ya.
I have a question so do you just put one side behind your ears or one if you want longer in front
I love you.. you are amazing, thx!
THANK YOU❤️❤️
Very helpful.You will save me money.Enjoy your videos.
thank you! let me know how it goes!!!
Omg I haven’t had my hair trimmed in a while so I cut about 4 inches and this method worked
I didn’t feel like waiting for an appointment with my stylist
I was doing this for fun and I can’t believe it came out so nice!!! You’re a genius
Do you have any advice for getting rid of that stupid “V” shape! My hair always grows in “v” and I like the more blunt or U shape
Fantastic job! You’re great! How would I cut my own length with it 2 inches off my shoulders? Thanks!
Am I the only one who does not do point cut lol. I like the super blunt 🤦♀️
Hi, love your videos! They have inspired me to cut my hair! I have one quick question for this technique, if I part my hair to the side should I cut it with it parted to the side?
yes! part it to the side you wear it to, if both sides- cut in with a middle part
I've a burning question that I hope you, Brittnee--or anyone else with experience--can answer. Can this haircutting technique be used with a side part? (I'm guessing so, as long as you still part the backside of the hair down the middle; still, it's better safe to ask that be sorry.)
Really helpful. Thank you so much.
Great video soooo helpful!
Can I do this trim on my hair which is a little bit past my shoulders?
Thanks! It worked well.
Looks great!
Thank you.🙏🏻
Wow..thanks
hahaha, i love this! you seem like such a smart chick! thank you for the tips! just used one of your videos and cut my own! and hilarious tip on the extensions for screw ups!! 😂😂😂 i should tell people that who ask me for haircuts!! been doing it for years and never have a complaint but i may use that advice! and i too have saggy gauged ears and you made me feel so much better about being a pretty girl with saggy ear lobes!💖
Yes use that advice lol will not scare them at all!!! WELCOME TO THE SAGGY LOBE CLUB!! LOL I hate these things! I have no idea what size they are but I should def get some gauges to cover these up but just don't care that much lol
Does it also work with thick hair?
yes, you may have to divide it into several smaller sections but you will cut it the same way on each subsection
@@BrittneeAlexus ok thank you!
i tried both this and the layers. f-ed it up big time. But hey no problem, went nuts with that scissor and now at 2 AM im rocking a shoulder length hair with random layers everywhere and a gorgeous bob. Go figure!
I have fine hair too. I feel your pain lol. "waiting for hair to grow taking years and years " lol. fine hair struggles. How do you do that angled cutting technique that glides along the side bangs or side framing bits without cutting too deep. ? but doesnt feather just blends in softly
Love your look and outfit!!! Gott it on cutting!!! Check!
thank you!!!❤️❤️❤️
@@BrittneeAlexus ❤💖
My hair isn't long enough to bring together under my chin. My hair does lay on my shoulder though. How would I trim my hair to one length?
How do you cut short hair yourself ?
Do I need to do anything different if I have a side part? Thanks for the great instruction!!!
No, you can part it to the side if you want to
Could I just point cut while the hair is still in the rubber band and all together?
yes!
Do I still part my hair in the middle if I wear it with a side part?
OMG, yes. You friggin life saver you.
❤️❤️❤️ Glad it could help!
"Ta da!" 🤣
❤️❤️
I should have stuck with the staight... im missing my long bangs now
So, I did this today thinking it would be relatively’easy’. But it’s an absolute mess. I do have very fine hair just a whole lot of it. No Idea what went wrong but it’s very uneven in length . Not overall but in the sections, making the longer parts turn outside weirdly. Good thing I didn’t take of al lot. Oh wait, I did. 😱 Can I please get some advice on how to fix it. Because the salons will be closed until at least the summer over here. The side swept bangs turned out pretty great! 😃👍
Everything can be fixed, so give yourself some grace! Try taking small sections straight down and point cutting them matching the lengths- to make it totally even you will have to find the part of your hair where the length is the shortest and match it to that (think of connecting the dots in a straight line) essentially you'll just be trying to make everything one solid length- if none of this makes sense- send me a picture to my email in the description box and ill see if I can explain it better !
What if you have a side shave..would you do it the same way? Thank you
Yes You can!
I've been following you and love the way you teach us. I'm so clumsy and when I go to cut, my hands automatically are in my way and can't take that first cut.. Any recommendations for my 62 yr. old aging mind?? How do you make it look so easy. Also, my hair is very thick and course
