Guys I tried this haircut after watching this video, my life HAS. NOT. BEEN. THE. SAME. This is the cut I have been needing all my life for my curly hair that i spend 100 at a time trying to find someone who knows how to cut it!!! Sounds dramatic but having the right haircut, for free, whenever you want, is a GAME CHANGER!!!
Do you mind me asking how long your hair is? My hair is very thick and wavy but only just below shoulder length. I’m worried a DIY mistake would be more obvious!?
Sick of my hair, and sick of paying $100+ for a haircut. Tried this for the first time today, and it turned out great! My hair feels so much lighter and looks much better. Only took ten minutes and saved me so much money! Thank you!
Wow. I’m embarrassed that I wasted so much money on haircuts all these years. I just did this and the results are fantastic. I look like I just got a fresh cut. My curls are bouncy. Thank you so much for this!! It’s perfect for anyone with wavy/curly hair that’s past the shoulders in length.
I found many hairdressers just didn’t know how curly hair behaves and would cut it in an unflattering style. I’ve switched to browsing TH-cam and doing it myself!
I'm not joking I cut my hair twice in the past 2 years following your video because we have the same hair. I did your layering video last time and LIFE CHANGING!!! I like it better than any hair stylist has ever done to my hair!! Not exaggerating. The layers were incredible my hair was bouncy and beautiful! I went to the stylist for the first time today to get them to take off 10 inches to donate but the layers they gave me on the shorter hair was not even close to when I followed this video. I'll wait till it grows abit more and do your layering cut again since I'm getting married in 9 months. You're the best!! Thank you so much for changing the game when it comes to my hair ❤️ not to mention I save $100 everytime I do this myself 😆
You literally look like a movie star (you kinda remind me of Eva Mendes). It’s so nice to see a tutorial for us loose-curl textured girls, instead of straight or wavy cuts. Loooove the volume from this.
I stepped outside my comfort & took the plunge, did this today. It was a huge success! I think it might’ve changed my life 🤣 thank u so much for posting this!! I did all three steps and I have very nice volume thruout my 2B/2C hair!!
Im SO so happy that you tried it and that you liked it! that's so nice to hear!, It truly warms my heart. I'm sure it was super scary at the beginning, it was for me, but after the first time you get so much more comfortable, at the end of the day you decided how much you cut. Thanks again for watching
I did the first unicorn cut last week. Too nervous to do layers without first seeing how it came out by itself. Today I'm going to do the first layer. I'm taking this a whole new level of slow lol. But I have the same hair type, 2B/ 2C/3A hair, so thanks for this commenting the success.
Hey I have 2B/2C hair too... I've been wanting to do this but I'm scared... Can you share some of your pictures? It'll help me stop being such a coward 😬
OK, people! I rarely comment, but I DID IT AND IT WORKS! I have 3b curls and even if you mess up a little bit, the curls do cover it up. I'm here re-watching to cut my hair again :D
I did do it my hair has more fullness it was looking flat. Before I watched your'e video. Thankyou for the advice because I get to keep my length long.
Just got done doing this cut on short hair up by shoulders. I gotta say this is the best haircut i ever gave myself. Theres no shelving, its not flat at the top with a fro on the bottom. It has definition and body. Thanks for sharing🙌
Please, for anyone trying this. It's an OK technique and you can get pleasant results if cut right (i've done it myself). However, take note that her hair density/volume is heavy with big curls, hence why you won't notice any mistakes and/or gaps. Now, if you have very little hair density(like me), make sure you leave a bit of the backside (aka; your length) out of the ponytail so that you can keep hair density in the back(aka; your length again). I once did it wrong (or like shown in the video) and i was left with little a gap I wasn't too fond of and basically had very little 'length' in the back. Cheers !
hey! thanks for the message, you have a great point I do have a lot of density however my goal was to cut some length (cause my hair didn't even fit in my micro towel anymore) and cut some damage from my ends so it could curl better, if you leave hair outside the ponytail you won't see any change if you want to trim your ends a bit and get the ends healthier. If you have already super healthy and balanced hair thats a different story, Honestly I would recommend to do the first step complete but just cut like have an inch to an inch , thats when you'll decided your own length and just continue gradually cutting half and inch to an inch, and making more layers so there's no gaps its just a lengthier process
For me the gaps would be noticeable if I did step two?! I can't take off too much from the sides and upper hair because my 2c is too soft and fine and age 35 also with less density. So don't leave the back hair out! You don't cut much of the back with this method but the sides and up and the length is your "line" help and it gives it a nice, even shape. Leave the additional steps at the front out! **** *Edit after cutting again , in Corona times 5 months later: * **** I learned it's better to do step 2 but put the ponytail unicorn not at the forehead but at the top of the head, a little higher than where you make a regular pony tail - so the layers are less steep. Then step 2 but no more than that. It makes me keep more hair at the length. If can also get rid of the V shape in the back by putting the ponytail at the neck in step 3 then dragging it down as this give a a more U shape rounder look at the bottom. You could also put 4 tails in step 1 where you pull at 0 degree downwards and over the shoulders for the front 2 and then divide and put the top hair in a ponytail then directing 180 degree upwards. Hope this helps. I realise knowing what angle causes what at the back of my hair is really vital in making cutting a success. Perhaps one day I'll show as there indeed is fewer tutorials on fine 2c hair with lower density.
Wish I knew this years ago. I did this method ages ago (with fine low density hair) and right in the back there was a very noticeable gap missing. It was a mess.
@MC2 @@VanessaFerran In that case, I would separate a portion of the bottom layer of hair from the ponytail, and trim the ends only, or cut it evenly until it matches with the layers you're trying to create with the ponytail method. It blends really well and it's the easiest portion(for me) to cut, other than that, it was a blind move, finger-crossed kinda thing.
allersfera I cutted myself and I have an ugly gap back!, how can I fix I don’t want to cut again!, I just leaving in pineapple waiting my hair grow back!
I was fixing to go to the salon and they kept telling me that I can't have that many layers they won't do it yet charge a fortune for one long layer. I did this and OHHH MY GOSH. My hair looks AMAZING. I have hair similar to yours. I love it I'm so glad I can across your video I didn't realize I could get the cut I wanted myself. Never going through the salon hassle again.
I know that experience. It happens more when the stylist is set in their ways. Nothing is more frustrating than seeing in your mind the cut you want while the professional denies the possibility.
I use to get layers and I always wanted them to add an extra layer but they always said no it wouldn't look right. Was always just three layers my length the middle and the top half but I felt it always needed one more . I have very thick hair but when I get layers it thins out my ends and lookes stringy . I finally gave up and it's been years since I cut my hair I want layers again but I want to keep my length also . It's as long as the lady's hair in the video, I can't cut my own hair I mess up Everytime I so need a good stylist who can help give me what I want . I've been putting off getting my hair done cause I'm scared I'll hate it lol it's so frustrating .
is anybody else here because they are scared to be verbally abused from hairdressers for being/staying curly or just me? I've literally never been to a hairdresser that didn't insult me :)))
happens to me too, they try to sell relaxing treatment, one tried to peer pressure me into it 'all of the curly hair girls do it' ... such a scam, it's a win win for the hairdressers, they sell extra services and then your styling will be easier for them in future visits too.
same they always straightened my hair or burned it.. said its a mess but its not just curly and needed some care.. i dont go to hairdresser anymore no need for that... so your not alone 😂🍀❤️
I finally tried it and love it. I have 3C curls and every time I get my hair trimmed she takes off too much. I'm finally pleased. I will never go to the salon again. Thank you so much for this tutorial. You saved me time, money and disappointments.
I just cut my hair after watching this video and I AM SO HAPPY with the results!! I was nervous cause I’ve never cut my own hair before but I am glad I did! THANK YOU!
Hi Vanessa! ...Thank you for sharing with us a simple way to have a beautiful haircut and style in only 3 steps. I'm 55 years old my hair is similar like yours but all the time I went to the salon hair in expensive areas of Toronto Ontario close to the Royal Museum I end up been chopped, sad and paying extravagant price 😢 you have saved me alot of money. Thank you today. I'm wearing this haircut, and I'm so happy bc no, only you help me to save money. I have the haircut always. I want ...❤❤❤❤Thank you for made my day!...sending you a shower of blessings 🙌 🙏 ❤️
I've been back and forth on going to a salon that specifies in curly cuts, and I came across this and gave it a try. I'm happy with how much better my hair feels already. 💕 May end up trimming my hair this way from now on, instead of making a trip to the salon. Thank you so much for this tutorial! 🥰
Hey I just want to say thank you so much ! Why ? because I cut my hair today by following your steps, I love the result and I also gave myself a bang and I'm OBSESSED !! SO AGAIN THANK YOU FOR THIS GREAT METHOD , I will never throw again money to a hairdresser that doest even know how to cut curly hair properly
Works every. Single. Time. My hair always looks so refreshed and healthy after following this tutorial!! I now trim my hair regularly using the super easy method in this video. Thank you - this vid has saved me so much money!
Started cutting my own hair when the salon i visited didn't know how to cut layers for curly hair... she said she could do it and that it was just a little trickier and would take a bit longer, but then literally just cut it straight across. Looked up youtube tutorials as soon as I got home. Been using this technique for 5 years, ever since I first saw this video and I rewatch every year when I cut it again. Saves on 💵
I have hair just like yours and I repeatedly watched your videos and finally did this to my hair a few hours ago! THANKKKKK YOU! I’m NEVER going to a salon again. My hair is bloody incredible! It’s so easy! I chopped off 10 inches. YOU ARE AMAZING!
Girl your DIY haircut is better than any salon haircut. I’ve wasted so much money at salons and have never liked how my hair looked after, and they always cut off too much. But whenever I trim it myself I am happy. Thanks for sharing your technique. I’m going to do this to fix a bad expensive haircut I just got.
Just tried this out and Ive never cut my hair in my life before. It turned out really well and my curls are more lifted and with volume!! Thanks for this video❤️❤️❤️❤️
This is the third time I've followed your tutorial to cut my hair during quarantine. Right now I had a big chop and loved the result. Can't thank you enough for posting this video for us! :D
Lady, you've been a hair-saver! Well, not literally, since I had to cut it, but my curls are now back and bouncing! I just had to improvize a little as my hair is at the middle and rather on the short side, but I pretty much followed the same method! Thanks a zillion! 😊
I tried it yesterday and let me tell you its amazing, the volume my hair instantly got and how bouncy and light it feels, im so glad i found your video, ive never been to a beauty salon that knew how to cut my weird wavy/ curly hair❤❤
I've been cutting my own hair for years, and was looking for a slightly different technique, and came across your video. I'm about to go try this way out on my curly hair. Wish me luck! Thanks for the video :)
I honestly can’t thank you enough for this tutorial. My hair has been bonkers! It’s so challenging to find a curly hair stylist that can actually perform. I’ve been so blue about my hair not feeling right as my last cut didn’t hit the mark. Thank you one million times! I got my hair confidence back!
Did this cut today. Even though my scissors failed me big time, the cut was still amazing and looks like I've had it cut professionally. Absolute game changer 👏🏻👏🏻
Thank you so much for this video❣️I cut my hair for the first time last week and it turned out absolutely amazing ❣️You do not need a deva cut. I had one in September and spent $300. The unicorn cut came out much better❣️I never have to go to a salon again❣️I’m also growing out my silver❣️👍🏻
giiiiirl 300 bucks? that's a lot of money lol I'm soo glad you liked the results! yeah honestly I don't think ill go get a deva cut any time soon, I've seen a lot of people on my curly fb groups and they show and say how unhappy and underwhelmed they are after the cut. No thank you hahaha. Thanks so much for watching!
I have the same exact curl pattern, and my hair is just as long. I can't afford a salon but desperately need a cut. I've been looking for a video with my hair with layers. Thank you. Love the results. 😍
Im so happy you liked the video and were able to use it. yeah same way round i cant afford this curly cuts and frankly I realized i have more trust in myself than in hair stylists haha.
Been doing this for two years now (since you first posted this) you’ve saved me $100’s of dollars in bad haircuts! And I still get compliments every time I cut it!!! (Just cut it last night :))
THANK GOD FOR YOU, SISTER. The best decision I've ever made was to get a shag before this dang quarantine. My growth is more annoying than it is ugly, but I need to do something about it NOW. This saved my life, thanks for sharing!!
So amazing Vanessa, I'd tried it and at first my hubby wasn't convinced for me to do it on my own. But after have done all the cutting..wow! it turned out so fabulous! so happy of the result so as my hubby..lol .Thank you so so much
nice easy to follow video. My wife has thick wavy hair and receives a lot of compliments on her haircut and also saves $ and is also more safe cutting her own hair due to protect her from covid since she takes care of elderly parents. Thanks so much.
I am so excited ro check this out. I'm gonna try tonight. Your hair is absolutely gorgeous. My hairdresser disappeared and I'm devastated. She made me feel like a Rockstar. This video just gave me hope that I can do it myself! ❤
Thank you so much for making and sharing this. I can't afford to pay to have my haircut so I've been doing the first step of your unicorn cut for about a year now. So excited I found this so now I to can have gorgeous layers like yours! Thank you so much again!
Thank you!!! I watched a few other tutorials, but they left out too much of the process. I watched your, followed it, and the result is a haircut that was better than what I paid over $200 for a few months ago! I AM SHOOK, SHOCKED, AND EXCITED AS HECK! Thank you a million times! ❤
I agree. This is very well explained and there are no witty one liners and clowning about, which I find totally distracting. I am going to watch it again with no sound because my brain finds any background music distracting. My only concern is that my hair isn't as long (only below my shoulders dry) so I'm not sure, but I might be brave!! Any tips for that would be welcomed!!
This technique changed my life! I literally have the same hair and colour as you 🙈. I always had bad experiences at salons and have been cutting my hair for the past few years on my own using the regular ponytail method.. and it kinda did the job, BUT THEN I came across this video and it changed my hair game forever! Thank you so much for uploading this amazing, informative video! Loving and rocking my new look. Much love from South Africa 🇿🇦
Hi Nadia!! Omg thank you so so much! I’m so god you found this video helpful!! And wow that’s so cool you live in South Africa! It’s on my bucket list to go there, I have a friend in Colombia who grew up there and has always talked up about how beautiful it is!!!
My long thick hair hadn't a cut for years after a big mistake of a stylist. Now i tried your video at home and... omg ❤ awesome!!! It looks amazing! I really don't need a hair stylist anymore 🎉 thank you for sharing this good video!
I cut my hair like this & I love it. Never tried the diagonal cuts for the top two layers though (I always cut horizontally straight across) but I’ll try diagonal next time as that seems like a great technique. Thanks for posting this brilliant video. 👌
I just literally followed your tutorial to cut some laters for my daughter and honestly it was 💯 % better than the salon. They never got the multiple layer thing. My former hairstylist was the king of layers. Noone else has been able to duplicate and everytime i took my daughter for a cut the stylist would never do it. My stylist moved out of state hence the reason why he was never able to get his hands on the my daughter’s hair, which would have done wonders for her straight hair for volume. You did an awesome job!!!! I will keep referencing to your videos. Thank you thank you🙏
My hair is the same as yours except longer. I’m so happy I came across this video because I’ve been wanting to cut my hair but I don’t trust anyone to cut it😂 definitely trying this tomorrow!🤩
OMG This is the best hair tutorial on TH-cam. I have hair just like yours, lots nd curly, and I have changed so many many different hair salons but no one new what they are doing. They always cut my hir way to short and never gave me a good layers. Curly hairs is special and gifted to special people i have heard that alot and now i started believing in that :) :) Your video showed me the trick that I never seen before and now i'll try it too. Can you please share what type of product are you using after you wash your beautiful hair. Thanks so much for doing this.
Ok so I just watched this video and cut my hair the exact same way you did it. All I have to say is THANK YOU!!! I love the way my hair turned out and so does my wallet! Haha this was awesome!! I never had later before because I was afraid of it looking ridiculous, but I love ittttt!!!
OMG Im so SO glad you tried it and that you liked it!!! use that money you saved on yourself! hahaha it truly is a life saver for me specially now in the winter with all the split ends and breakage you can trim your own hair anytime you want :) thank you so much for watching!
This is the haircut I’ve been looking for all my life! I tried this myself today and I’m so ecstatic about the results! Thank you for sharing this video! You look gorgeous xx
I cut my hair like this for YEARS. Haven't been in a salon for more than 11 years. And that one time it was only to get my hair done for my wedding. The part with the second segment of hair and cutting upwards was new to me and I tried it rightaway, since I needed a fresh cut. I love it! It gave my fine curly hair much more movement. If I wear my curly hair too long the curls tend to hang themselves out. Although I really love to wear my hair long, it definetely needs layers. Your video was just what I was looking for! Thanks a lot! You gave me my new favourite technique!
Hi. I did it, I did it, and it can’t out great. I’ve been needing a hair cut for many many months. Thank you so much, again, for posting this video. It was simple to understand, and the cut itself couldn’t have been easier. For those that are scared to try it, don’t be. It’s a piece of cake. You’ll be done in ten minutes or less.
Gorgeous! I have been cutting my hair the first method for a few years now. I think I actually saw a previous video of yours when I decided to do it myself. I got so sick of people claiming they new how to cut curly hair and they butchered my hair so bad. Anyway, so happy I say this "cut my hair again" with this double (triple, really) unicorn method. So excited to try it tomorrow. For those on the fence, I have very thick and long hair like hers, but even curlier. This method works and has saved me soooo much money.
I tried what you did to your hair & it made mine have more fullness. It looks a lot better it was looks great. I never thought of cutting my hair horizontal until I saw your video.
I cut 6 inches off using this tutorial and it looks amazing. Was my 3rd time doing this technique, I love it. Nobody can tell I do my own hair, I even have curly girls in public asking my who did my “curly cut.” I send them here 😊
I cut my daughter’s hair with this method, she wanted layers to be able to style it wavy. Her hair turned out gorgeous! I just followed your steps but was more precise in how I parted each section. Thank you for posting!👌💖
You're the bomb! I have similar hair texture like yours, been cutting mine myself as well, but never heard of the unicorn haircut. Going to try this tonight. Thanks for the postage pretty lady :)
I actually followed you and did this during covid, beautiful results!! Did it again just now, much better results than the actual hairdresser. Gonna save me some money now 😂 Thank you for this!!
Gosh, what a stunning head of hair you have! I'll show my daughter the tutorial and hopefully she'll be up for me doing it for her. Why pay a fortune when you can do it at home. Thanks!
I just did this and omg my hair looks bomb! I might cut more layers after my next wash. Thank you for this video😘. BTW your hair looks amazing. You remind me of Eva Mendes. Gorgeous❤
So pretty! I love the results of the unicorn cut too. I just wish my hair had your density. Mine needs the layers in the back for fullness but I have to be super careful.
I watched this today and did it. I figured quarentine is never gonna end so I have time to grow it out. My hair is slightly less curly than hers and shorter. It looked awesome when it was wet like the best haircut I ever had. I waited until it dried to comment here....OMG I look awesome. It works good. My hair is thicker so I did an extra layer on the bottom. I look so good that hubby has been staring at me all day.
I never comment on videos but I had to for this. I had medium length passed my shoulders and I used this technique to cut it shoulder length. I love the outcome. I was skeptical at first but It felt so liberating to just go through with it. Thank you for sharing this.
Okay, this worked great! I was growing out my semi curly/wavy hair (way kinky curly underneath compared to the top) all in the same length but it was looking very flat. I used this method and it worked! My hair is not as long as yours but it still worked. And I saved a $hit ton of money considering rent is coming due. Thank you!! And like you said, it's just hair! It'll grow back!
I have been wanting to cut my own hair for years omg thank you so much I did it and I love it ! I have hair like yours and everywhere I go they want charge me $100 and end up messing it up. I did the two layer since it's medium length but when it gets longer I will try the three layer. I cut off more than I wanted but it still looked great I recommend first timers do very little. I tried one layer but the second layer gives it the volume oomph it needs and the curls curled nicely. Thank you so much now do one on your eyebrows love them !
I cant believe i finally found someone with my hair type! However yours is like the end goal lool trying this now ! Also youre so beautiful girl!! Subscribed 💕
I will never go to a salon to get a hair cut again 😌✋🏽 Because why is this EXACTLY the cut I've pleaded and asked for but no one could do it. Thank you madam
My hair really needs layers to add volume to my curls (they’re looking kinda 1990’s) as someone with curly hair in a town where all the salons do is blow-outs I really needed this tutorial! Your hair turned out great! I think I’ll try it, thanks a million!
Thank you for posting this! I used this technique just like you did and it worked beautifully!!! Thank you. My hair is not as thick and as dense as yours but I still achieved the similar results. 🙌❤️
Guys I tried this haircut after watching this video, my life HAS. NOT. BEEN. THE. SAME. This is the cut I have been needing all my life for my curly hair that i spend 100 at a time trying to find someone who knows how to cut it!!! Sounds dramatic but having the right haircut, for free, whenever you want, is a GAME CHANGER!!!
😊
Do you mind me asking how long your hair is? My hair is very thick and wavy but only just below shoulder length. I’m worried a DIY mistake would be more obvious!?
💯💯💯
im trying this now
💯 this my go to haircut for LIFE
Sick of my hair, and sick of paying $100+ for a haircut. Tried this for the first time today, and it turned out great! My hair feels so much lighter and looks much better. Only took ten minutes and saved me so much money! Thank you!
I feel a bad decision is coming in this quarantine
Yassmina el iouj SAMEEE
Me too!
Yassmina el iouj I did this seeing the end result
faith buckler how did it turn out
I just did this rn during quarantine 🤣
Wow. I’m embarrassed that I wasted so much money on haircuts all these years. I just did this and the results are fantastic. I look like I just got a fresh cut. My curls are bouncy. Thank you so much for this!! It’s perfect for anyone with wavy/curly hair that’s past the shoulders in length.
I found many hairdressers just didn’t know how curly hair behaves and would cut it in an unflattering style. I’ve switched to browsing TH-cam and doing it myself!
Great thing too curly hair covers up if you mess up lol.
AGREED haha
😂 😂 I never thought of it that way lol
Ikrrr
Yup and it encourages me to not straighten my hair because then you’ll see how uneven my haircut is 😂 it looks fine when curly tho
So true 👍🏻
I'm not joking I cut my hair twice in the past 2 years following your video because we have the same hair. I did your layering video last time and LIFE CHANGING!!! I like it better than any hair stylist has ever done to my hair!! Not exaggerating. The layers were incredible my hair was bouncy and beautiful! I went to the stylist for the first time today to get them to take off 10 inches to donate but the layers they gave me on the shorter hair was not even close to when I followed this video. I'll wait till it grows abit more and do your layering cut again since I'm getting married in 9 months. You're the best!! Thank you so much for changing the game when it comes to my hair ❤️ not to mention I save $100 everytime I do this myself 😆
GIRL. You don't need a deva cut. THAT HAIR OMG
thank you SO much
Right!! Her hair is stunning!
Josyp This is super awesome
i agree!! That's impressive!! Amazing hair!!!
I had one and I hated it 🥺
You literally look like a movie star (you kinda remind me of Eva Mendes). It’s so nice to see a tutorial for us loose-curl textured girls, instead of straight or wavy cuts. Loooove the volume from this.
Thank you SOOO much Rayna! ive gotten that as well and I love Eva so I appreciate that!! have an amazing day and thank you for watching!
Totally!! Mix Eva Mendes with Rosario Dawson, add amazing hair... Bam!!
Eva Mendez , yes taught the same thing also. Definitely.
Eva Mendez and Rosario Dawson . So cool 😎
I was thinking Rosario Dawson.
I stepped outside my comfort & took the plunge, did this today. It was a huge success! I think it might’ve changed my life 🤣 thank u so much for posting this!! I did all three steps and I have very nice volume thruout my 2B/2C hair!!
Im SO so happy that you tried it and that you liked it! that's so nice to hear!, It truly warms my heart. I'm sure it was super scary at the beginning, it was for me, but after the first time you get so much more comfortable, at the end of the day you decided how much you cut. Thanks again for watching
I did the first unicorn cut last week. Too nervous to do layers without first seeing how it came out by itself.
Today I'm going to do the first layer. I'm taking this a whole new level of slow lol. But I have the same hair type, 2B/ 2C/3A hair, so thanks for this commenting the success.
Hey I have 2B/2C hair too... I've been wanting to do this but I'm scared... Can you share some of your pictures? It'll help me stop being such a coward 😬
Yesssss
It did for me!
I no longer have to search for someone to cut my curly hair, there aren't many in my town.
I did it to my hair is curly like hers and a bit longer but it turned out perfect 👌😇
OK, people! I rarely comment, but I DID IT AND IT WORKS!
I have 3b curls and even if you mess up a little bit, the curls do cover it up.
I'm here re-watching to cut my hair again :D
ur comment is really useful cuz i have the same hair type u have ill try it wish me luck ✌️
Hi! Have you tried cutting the first pony tail in diagonal like the other 2 last pony tails? 🤔
My hair looks similar to yours
@@demaben8287 just saw the video and it’s the first thing I noticed.
Just cut mine with this
Vanessa: My hair is a mess
Me : That is the prettiest hair I've ever seen
haha
Totally! 😅
I did do it my hair has more fullness it was looking flat. Before I watched your'e video. Thankyou for the advice because I get to keep my length long.
Just got done doing this cut on short hair up by shoulders. I gotta say this is the best haircut i ever gave myself. Theres no shelving, its not flat at the top with a fro on the bottom. It has definition and body. Thanks for sharing🙌
Thank you SO much for watching and im happy you liked the results
Anyone else trying this in 2024?
Yup
It's been my go to haircut technique since covid
Yes!@@workit2359
I might try today 😅
Did it in Feb and am gonna do another trim today!
I'm 62 and we've been cutting our long shag, Farrah Fawcett haircut like this since the mid 70s. Yours is beautiful with the curls!
Please, for anyone trying this. It's an OK technique and you can get pleasant results if cut right (i've done it myself). However, take note that her hair density/volume is heavy with big curls, hence why you won't notice any mistakes and/or gaps. Now, if you have very little hair density(like me), make sure you leave a bit of the backside (aka; your length) out of the ponytail so that you can keep hair density in the back(aka; your length again). I once did it wrong (or like shown in the video) and i was left with little a gap I wasn't too fond of and basically had very little 'length' in the back.
Cheers !
hey! thanks for the message, you have a great point I do have a lot of density however my goal was to cut some length (cause my hair didn't even fit in my micro towel anymore) and cut some damage from my ends so it could curl better, if you leave hair outside the ponytail you won't see any change if you want to trim your ends a bit and get the ends healthier. If you have already super healthy and balanced hair thats a different story, Honestly I would recommend to do the first step complete but just cut like have an inch to an inch , thats when you'll decided your own length and just continue gradually cutting half and inch to an inch, and making more layers so there's no gaps its just a lengthier process
For me the gaps would be noticeable if I did step two?! I can't take off too much from the sides and upper hair because my 2c is too soft and fine and age 35 also with less density. So don't leave the back hair out! You don't cut much of the back with this method but the sides and up and the length is your "line" help and it gives it a nice, even shape. Leave the additional steps at the front out!
**** *Edit after cutting again , in Corona times 5 months later: * ****
I learned it's better to do step 2 but put the ponytail unicorn not at the forehead but at the top of the head, a little higher than where you make a regular pony tail - so the layers are less steep. Then step 2 but no more than that. It makes me keep more hair at the length. If can also get rid of the V shape in the back by putting the ponytail at the neck in step 3 then dragging it down as this give a a more U shape rounder look at the bottom. You could also put 4 tails in step 1 where you pull at 0 degree downwards and over the shoulders for the front 2 and then divide and put the top hair in a ponytail then directing 180 degree upwards. Hope this helps. I realise knowing what angle causes what at the back of my hair is really vital in making cutting a success. Perhaps one day I'll show as there indeed is fewer tutorials on fine 2c hair with lower density.
Wish I knew this years ago. I did this method ages ago (with fine low density hair) and right in the back there was a very noticeable gap missing. It was a mess.
@MC2 @@VanessaFerran In that case, I would separate a portion of the bottom layer of hair from the ponytail, and trim the ends only, or cut it evenly until it matches with the layers you're trying to create with the ponytail method. It blends really well and it's the easiest portion(for me) to cut, other than that, it was a blind move, finger-crossed kinda thing.
allersfera I cutted myself and I have an ugly gap back!, how can I fix I don’t want to cut again!, I just leaving in pineapple waiting my hair grow back!
I was fixing to go to the salon and they kept telling me that I can't have that many layers they won't do it yet charge a fortune for one long layer. I did this and OHHH MY GOSH. My hair looks AMAZING. I have hair similar to yours. I love it I'm so glad I can across your video I didn't realize I could get the cut I wanted myself. Never going through the salon hassle again.
hahaha awww thank you sooo much! im so so glad it helped you and that you liked the results! it brings the biggest smile to my face :D
SkylarPaige thats so weird that they say this, I wonder why ! But I’m glad you are giving this a try!!!
Same here! No more salon!
I know that experience. It happens more when the stylist is set in their ways. Nothing is more frustrating than seeing in your mind the cut you want while the professional denies the possibility.
I use to get layers and I always wanted them to add an extra layer but they always said no it wouldn't look right. Was always just three layers my length the middle and the top half but I felt it always needed one more . I have very thick hair but when I get layers it thins out my ends and lookes stringy . I finally gave up and it's been years since I cut my hair I want layers again but I want to keep my length also . It's as long as the lady's hair in the video, I can't cut my own hair I mess up Everytime I so need a good stylist who can help give me what I want . I've been putting off getting my hair done cause I'm scared I'll hate it lol it's so frustrating .
is anybody else here because they are scared to be verbally abused from hairdressers for being/staying curly or just me? I've literally never been to a hairdresser that didn't insult me :)))
happens to me too, they try to sell relaxing treatment, one tried to peer pressure me into it 'all of the curly hair girls do it' ... such a scam, it's a win win for the hairdressers, they sell extra services and then your styling will be easier for them in future visits too.
literally like mine won’t give me the haircut i want because she says “it will poof and look ugly” lmaoo
same they always straightened my hair or burned it.. said its a mess but its not just curly and needed some care.. i dont go to hairdresser anymore no need for that... so your not alone 😂🍀❤️
Honestly these past 6 months I've been cutting it myself and it's never looked better, even everyone else says so too
I've had people refuse to cut my curly hair.. haha that was fun 🤷♀️
I finally tried it and love it. I have 3C curls and every time I get my hair trimmed she takes off too much. I'm finally pleased. I will never go to the salon again. Thank you so much for this tutorial. You saved me time, money and disappointments.
I just cut my hair after watching this video and I AM SO HAPPY with the results!! I was nervous cause I’ve never cut my own hair before but I am glad I did! THANK YOU!
Hi Vanessa! ...Thank you for sharing with us a simple way to have a beautiful haircut and style in only 3 steps. I'm 55 years old my hair is similar like yours but all the time I went to the salon hair in expensive areas of Toronto Ontario close to the Royal Museum I end up been chopped, sad and paying extravagant price 😢 you have saved me alot of money.
Thank you today. I'm wearing this haircut, and I'm so happy bc no, only you help me to save money.
I have the haircut always.
I want ...❤❤❤❤Thank you for made my day!...sending you a shower of blessings 🙌 🙏 ❤️
I've been back and forth on going to a salon that specifies in curly cuts, and I came across this and gave it a try. I'm happy with how much better my hair feels already. 💕 May end up trimming my hair this way from now on, instead of making a trip to the salon. Thank you so much for this tutorial! 🥰
Hey I just want to say thank you so much ! Why ? because I cut my hair today by following your steps, I love the result and I also gave myself a bang and I'm OBSESSED !! SO AGAIN THANK YOU FOR THIS GREAT METHOD , I will never throw again money to a hairdresser that doest even know how to cut curly hair properly
Works every. Single. Time. My hair always looks so refreshed and healthy after following this tutorial!! I now trim my hair regularly using the super easy method in this video. Thank you - this vid has saved me so much money!
Started cutting my own hair when the salon i visited didn't know how to cut layers for curly hair... she said she could do it and that it was just a little trickier and would take a bit longer, but then literally just cut it straight across.
Looked up youtube tutorials as soon as I got home. Been using this technique for 5 years, ever since I first saw this video and I rewatch every year when I cut it again. Saves on 💵
I have hair just like yours and I repeatedly watched your videos and finally did this to my hair a few hours ago! THANKKKKK YOU! I’m NEVER going to a salon again. My hair is bloody incredible! It’s so easy! I chopped off 10 inches. YOU ARE AMAZING!
Dude, I always come back to this video when it’s been a couple months. Thank you for helping us all out. You’re magic, sis
I haven’t gone to a salon for more than 5 years. My sister cuts my hair. I tried something similar to this video, but I’m definitely trying this!😍😍😍
yes girl save your coins! let me know if you try this although you can modify it however you want, maybe next time ill get more layers :)
Girl your DIY haircut is better than any salon haircut. I’ve wasted so much money at salons and have never liked how my hair looked after, and they always cut off too much. But whenever I trim it myself I am happy. Thanks for sharing your technique. I’m going to do this to fix a bad expensive haircut I just got.
Just tried this out and Ive never cut my hair in my life before. It turned out really well and my curls are more lifted and with volume!! Thanks for this video❤️❤️❤️❤️
This is the third time I've followed your tutorial to cut my hair during quarantine. Right now I had a big chop and loved the result. Can't thank you enough for posting this video for us! :D
Lady, you've been a hair-saver! Well, not literally, since I had to cut it, but my curls are now back and bouncing! I just had to improvize a little as my hair is at the middle and rather on the short side, but I pretty much followed the same method! Thanks a zillion! 😊
I tried it yesterday and let me tell you its amazing, the volume my hair instantly got and how bouncy and light it feels, im so glad i found your video, ive never been to a beauty salon that knew how to cut my weird wavy/ curly hair❤❤
I've been cutting my own hair for years, and was looking for a slightly different technique, and came across your video. I'm about to go try this way out on my curly hair. Wish me luck! Thanks for the video :)
A B please let me know how it goes!! The best of luck!!!!Thank you so much for watching!!
How did it go lol
I honestly can’t thank you enough for this tutorial. My hair has been bonkers! It’s so challenging to find a curly hair stylist that can actually perform. I’ve been so blue about my hair not feeling right as my last cut didn’t hit the mark. Thank you one million times! I got my hair confidence back!
I love it! I’m definitely motivated to try that with my hair now too. Luckily curls hide a range of sins.
Did this cut today. Even though my scissors failed me big time, the cut was still amazing and looks like I've had it cut professionally. Absolute game changer 👏🏻👏🏻
Thank you so much for this video❣️I cut my hair for the first time last week and it turned out absolutely amazing ❣️You do not need a deva cut. I had one in September and spent $300. The unicorn cut came out much better❣️I never have to go to a salon again❣️I’m also growing out my silver❣️👍🏻
giiiiirl 300 bucks? that's a lot of money lol I'm soo glad you liked the results! yeah honestly I don't think ill go get a deva cut any time soon, I've seen a lot of people on my curly fb groups and they show and say how unhappy and underwhelmed they are after the cut. No thank you hahaha. Thanks so much for watching!
I have the same exact curl pattern, and my hair is just as long. I can't afford a salon but desperately need a cut. I've been looking for a video with my hair with layers. Thank you. Love the results. 😍
Im so happy you liked the video and were able to use it. yeah same way round i cant afford this curly cuts and frankly I realized i have more trust in myself than in hair stylists haha.
Been doing this for two years now (since you first posted this) you’ve saved me $100’s of dollars in bad haircuts! And I still get compliments every time I cut it!!! (Just cut it last night :))
Do you use a side part by chance? Or do you part in the middle like her?
@@AP-lp9np I do both!
THANK GOD FOR YOU, SISTER. The best decision I've ever made was to get a shag before this dang quarantine. My growth is more annoying than it is ugly, but I need to do something about it NOW. This saved my life, thanks for sharing!!
So amazing Vanessa, I'd tried it and at first my hubby wasn't convinced for me to do it on my own. But after have done all the cutting..wow! it turned out so fabulous! so happy of the result so as my hubby..lol .Thank you so so much
Hey lily!! I’m so so glad you and your husband both liked the result!!! Woohoo !! 👏🏻👏🏻
nice easy to follow video. My wife has thick wavy hair and receives a lot of compliments on her haircut and also saves $ and is also more safe cutting her own hair due to protect her from covid since she takes care of elderly parents. Thanks so much.
I'm just now letting my hair grow ... curly like yours and I always cut my own hair and color it, because a cosmetologist.. great job..gracias
oh wow I wish i knew how to color my hair but thats something I'll leave to the experts! thank you for watching!
I am so excited ro check this out. I'm gonna try tonight. Your hair is absolutely gorgeous. My hairdresser disappeared and I'm devastated. She made me feel like a Rockstar. This video just gave me hope that I can do it myself! ❤
OK so I did it! I love it! Thank you so much!!! I feel so much better!
Thank you so much for making and sharing this. I can't afford to pay to have my haircut so I've been doing the first step of your unicorn cut for about a year now. So excited I found this so now I to can have gorgeous layers like yours! Thank you so much again!
Thank you!!! I watched a few other tutorials, but they left out too much of the process. I watched your, followed it, and the result is a haircut that was better than what I paid over $200 for a few months ago! I AM SHOOK, SHOCKED, AND EXCITED AS HECK! Thank you a million times! ❤
I agree. This is very well explained and there are no witty one liners and clowning about, which I find totally distracting. I am going to watch it again with no sound because my brain finds any background music distracting. My only concern is that my hair isn't as long (only below my shoulders dry) so I'm not sure, but I might be brave!! Any tips for that would be welcomed!!
This technique changed my life! I literally have the same hair and colour as you 🙈. I always had bad experiences at salons and have been cutting my hair for the past few years on my own using the regular ponytail method.. and it kinda did the job, BUT THEN I came across this video and it changed my hair game forever! Thank you so much for uploading this amazing, informative video! Loving and rocking my new look.
Much love from South Africa 🇿🇦
Hi Nadia!! Omg thank you so so much! I’m so god you found this video helpful!! And wow that’s so cool you live in South Africa! It’s on my bucket list to go there, I have a friend in Colombia who grew up there and has always talked up about how beautiful it is!!!
@@VanessaFerran Yep South Africa is an extremely beautiful country! Except for the fact that the humidity always makes my hair frizz out super quick 😄
My long thick hair hadn't a cut for years after a big mistake of a stylist. Now i tried your video at home and... omg ❤ awesome!!! It looks amazing! I really don't need a hair stylist anymore 🎉 thank you for sharing this good video!
I cut my hair like this & I love it. Never tried the diagonal cuts for the top two layers though (I always cut horizontally straight across) but I’ll try diagonal next time as that seems like a great technique. Thanks for posting this brilliant video. 👌
Let me know whenever you get to try the diagonal cuts! ❤️ thank you soo much for watching!!
I just literally followed your tutorial to cut some laters for my daughter and honestly it was 💯 % better than the salon. They never got the multiple layer thing. My former hairstylist was the king of layers. Noone else has been able to duplicate and everytime i took my daughter for a cut the stylist would never do it. My stylist moved out of state hence the reason why he was never able to get his hands on the my daughter’s hair, which would have done wonders for her straight hair for volume. You did an awesome job!!!! I will keep referencing to your videos. Thank you thank you🙏
My hair is the same as yours except longer. I’m so happy I came across this video because I’ve been wanting to cut my hair but I don’t trust anyone to cut it😂 definitely trying this tomorrow!🤩
OMG This is the best hair tutorial on TH-cam. I have hair just like yours, lots nd curly, and I have changed so many many different hair salons but no one new what they are doing. They always cut my hir way to short and never gave me a good layers. Curly hairs is special and gifted to special people i have heard that alot and now i started believing in that :) :) Your video showed me the trick that I never seen before and now i'll try it too. Can you please share what type of product are you using after you wash your beautiful hair. Thanks so much for doing this.
Ok so I just watched this video and cut my hair the exact same way you did it. All I have to say is THANK YOU!!! I love the way my hair turned out and so does my wallet! Haha this was awesome!! I never had later before because I was afraid of it looking ridiculous, but I love ittttt!!!
OMG Im so SO glad you tried it and that you liked it!!! use that money you saved on yourself! hahaha it truly is a life saver for me specially now in the winter with all the split ends and breakage you can trim your own hair anytime you want :) thank you so much for watching!
This is the haircut I’ve been looking for all my life! I tried this myself today and I’m so ecstatic about the results! Thank you for sharing this video! You look gorgeous xx
Almost 3 years later and im still cutting my own hair with your technique, thanks!
Do you use a side part by chance? Or do you part in the middle like her?
@@AP-lp9np I usually side part.
Beautiful!
can’t believe you did this right before your sisters wedding haha
Tried this haircut today and loooved it. Looks amazing for my 3A curly hair
Yay!!! Makes me so happy to read that!!
I cut my hair like this for YEARS. Haven't been in a salon for more than 11 years. And that one time it was only to get my hair done for my wedding. The part with the second segment of hair and cutting upwards was new to me and I tried it rightaway, since I needed a fresh cut. I love it! It gave my fine curly hair much more movement. If I wear my curly hair too long the curls tend to hang themselves out. Although I really love to wear my hair long, it definetely needs layers. Your video was just what I was looking for! Thanks a lot! You gave me my new favourite technique!
Thank you so much for this tutorial! I have thin, curly hair. This haircut brought back a little bit of volume to my hair and looks so nice :)
Hi. I did it, I did it, and it can’t out great. I’ve been needing a hair cut for many many months. Thank you so much, again, for posting this video. It was simple to understand, and the cut itself couldn’t have been easier.
For those that are scared to try it, don’t be. It’s a piece of cake. You’ll be done in ten minutes or less.
Gorgeous! I have been cutting my hair the first method for a few years now. I think I actually saw a previous video of yours when I decided to do it myself. I got so sick of people claiming they new how to cut curly hair and they butchered my hair so bad.
Anyway, so happy I say this "cut my hair again" with this double (triple, really) unicorn method. So excited to try it tomorrow.
For those on the fence, I have very thick and long hair like hers, but even curlier. This method works and has saved me soooo much money.
I love this technique---I'm never going to a salon for a trim/dusting ever again!!!!!! Thank you!!!!
Thank you, I did that and it worked. My hair has so much more bounce and volume! X
I’m sooo glad it worked for you! Thanks for watching !
I tried what you did to your hair & it made mine have more fullness. It looks a lot better it was looks great. I never thought of cutting my hair horizontal until I saw your video.
I DID IT ! I was scared but thanks to this video I did a great job. My curls are more bouncy! Thanks girly
you are welcome Kimberly! I'm so glad you went ahead and tried it and liked the results!
I cut 6 inches off using this tutorial and it looks amazing. Was my 3rd time doing this technique, I love it. Nobody can tell I do my own hair, I even have curly girls in public asking my who did my “curly cut.” I send them here 😊
Do you use a side part by chance? Or do you part in the middle like her?
I tried this cut and boy did it give me volume. It worked! I finally have layers without paying $$$, ha! Thank you!
Im SO glad you tried it! and so happy you liked it! thank you so much for watching and glad I could help you save some money haha !!
I know this is a video about hair but I can't miss the chance to tell you that you have GORGEOUS eyebrows too!!! ..I'm SO jealous :/
aww thank you sooo much, I haven't wax them in forever cause they are so expensive here so I truly appreciate that!
Ever since I found this tutorial, I have done my own refresher cuts .. love it.. it’s super easy .. thank u for sharing 😊
I cut my daughter’s hair with this method, she wanted layers to be able to style it wavy. Her hair turned out gorgeous! I just followed your steps but was more precise in how I parted each section. Thank you for posting!👌💖
this is awesome !!! makes me really happy!!! Thank you so much for watching!
You're the bomb! I have similar hair texture like yours, been cutting mine myself as well, but never heard of the unicorn haircut. Going to try this tonight. Thanks for the postage pretty lady :)
it’s 3am and im feeling an urge to do this but i don’t want to wake up and regret it hahaha but your hair looks amazingly beautiful!!!😍
Living in Melbourne and in Lockdown for months! I'm soooooo doing this!
I tried it, and it worked very nicely! Thank you for this video! My ends are so much healthier, now!!
You're so welcome! thank you for letting me know you tried it and liked it
Wow thank you so much for posting this how to I just spent 90$ for a curly cut and I like yours better ....beautiful😀😀
oh my! Im glad you liked it and found it helpful! :D thank you so much!
I actually followed you and did this during covid, beautiful results!! Did it again just now, much better results than the actual hairdresser. Gonna save me some money now 😂 Thank you for this!!
THANK YOU!!! This may be the best haircut I ever had!!!
It makes me sooo happy to read this! I’m so glad!
Gosh, what a stunning head of hair you have! I'll show my daughter the tutorial and hopefully she'll be up for me doing it for her. Why pay a fortune when you can do it at home. Thanks!
I just did this and omg my hair looks bomb! I might cut more layers after my next wash. Thank you for this video😘. BTW your hair looks amazing. You remind me of Eva Mendes. Gorgeous❤
Thank you so much for watching! I’m so glad you found the video helpful! And omg that’s the best compliment ever lol ❤️
I agree. You look like Eva Mendes. Great job on the cut. I'm gonna try tomorrow and hope it turns out as beautiful as it hair!
I just cut my curly hair following your instructions and I LOVE it! So happy I found this video. Thanks for sharing it!
Hey Victoria!! Thank you so much for watching and I’m so happy you liked the results ❤️❤️
So pretty! I love the results of the unicorn cut too. I just wish my hair had your density. Mine needs the layers in the back for fullness but I have to be super careful.
I watched this today and did it. I figured quarentine is never gonna end so I have time to grow it out. My hair is slightly less curly than hers and shorter. It looked awesome when it was wet like the best haircut I ever had. I waited until it dried to comment here....OMG I look awesome. It works good. My hair is thicker so I did an extra layer on the bottom. I look so good that hubby has been staring at me all day.
I never comment on videos but I had to for this. I had medium length passed my shoulders and I used this technique to cut it shoulder length. I love the outcome. I was skeptical at first but It felt so liberating to just go through with it. Thank you for sharing this.
Thank You So much for watching Ashley. it makes my day to read all the sucess stories with this method! thank you for taking the time to comment :)
Okay, this worked great! I was growing out my semi curly/wavy hair (way kinky curly underneath compared to the top) all in the same length but it was looking very flat. I used this method and it worked! My hair is not as long as yours but it still worked. And I saved a $hit ton of money considering rent is coming due. Thank you!! And like you said, it's just hair! It'll grow back!
This looks great! I never end up with as many layers as I want. I’ll have to try it.
thank you! let me know how does it goes whenever you get a chance to try it !
I took the plunge last night and I love it! The haircut I’ve been trying to get salons to give me for five years. 💛 I can wear my hair down now!!!
When you took your hair out, it was stunning! Nothing flat or weird about your hair girl!
Thank you soo much! btw I love your username XX
I'm so jealous of that gorgeous head of hair!
thank you!!
@@VanessaFerran You're most welcome pretty lady!
I just tried this today. My hair looks amazing!! I don’t think I’ll ever need a salon again. Thank you!! 😃
Im so happy you gave it a try and that you liked it Danielle !! 😊👏🏻👏🏻Thank You for watching!
This is exactly how I cut my naturally curly hair!! Saves me a bomb and honestly, if you wear your hair curly/wavy 24/7 you cant really mess it up 💕
agree!! I haven't spent money on a hair cut in years
I loveeeee this tutorial.. i cut my hair twice with your video and it turns out amazing!♥️ thanks alottttt and sending loves from Iran🇮🇷
Thank you!! Bit the bullet and my hair can breathe again. Feelin' all the flyness of a fresh style! You're a beauty btw :)
Thank you for watching! im glad it worked for you! .. and thank you
I have been wanting to cut my own hair for years omg thank you so much I did it and I love it ! I have hair like yours and everywhere I go they want charge me $100 and end up messing it up. I did the two layer since it's medium length but when it gets longer I will try the three layer. I cut off more than I wanted but it still looked great I recommend first timers do very little. I tried one layer but the second layer gives it the volume oomph it needs and the curls curled nicely. Thank you so much now do one on your eyebrows love them !
Can you please post a tutorial of your hair care and drying routine with products? Thank you!!!!
Used this to give my 3 year old niece her first hair cut. It turned out great! Thank you for posting.
I cant believe i finally found someone with my hair type! However yours is like the end goal lool trying this now ! Also youre so beautiful girl!! Subscribed 💕
I will never go to a salon to get a hair cut again 😌✋🏽 Because why is this EXACTLY the cut I've pleaded and asked for but no one could do it. Thank you madam
This is so easy thank you! Never paying for a hair cut again.
Thank you for watching! I'm glad the video was of help!
My hair really needs layers to add volume to my curls (they’re looking kinda 1990’s) as someone with curly hair in a town where all the salons do is blow-outs I really needed this tutorial! Your hair turned out great! I think I’ll try it, thanks a million!
Thank you for posting this! I used this technique just like you did and it worked beautifully!!! Thank you. My hair is not as thick and as dense as yours but I still achieved the similar results. 🙌❤️
Im soo glad it worked for you Lianne! thank you for watching and have a wonderful day!!
This haircut make sense and it'd easy for those who are unexperienced and on a budget. Well done
she said luv u bye like she hangin up w us😂 too cute & the hair turned out great
hahaha thank you !! and thank you for watching!
