One thing I do that helps when cutting extensions is to find where I want to cut, make a little guide by cutting a little notch at the desired length and then put the extensions in a trouser hanger, the ones that are two pieces of wood that clamp together... When they are clamped in I hang them from something where they can hang free and level, and then I can cut them in one step... The hangers are a great way to keep your extensions from tangling and that way you can style them before you put them in your hair ;)
This video is old now, but if you still read these, I just want to say thank you for the awesome video. I was so nervous about trimming my super expensive hair extensions. You made it perfectly simple. Thank you for all the help!
Hi, Silvia! 🙂 My "real" hair is as long as the extensions before you cut them, it touches my thighs while sitting straight. I had never had long hair until a few years ago (I'm almost 34). Almost every "professional" haircut I've had has either been messed up and needed to be fixed, resulting in extra length being taken off, or too much length being taken off in the first place 😥. For the past 4 years I have been trimming my own hair and doing a "dusting " as needed- which I learned from you! It grows faster now than it ever has thanks to that tip, cutting it myself, and using little to no heat for over 2 years now 🤗. The only thing I am afraid to do is cut layers into my (coarse, thick) hair. I cut my bangs and face framing layers by over-directing, point cutting, and I use shears specifically for cutting hair. It turns out perfect with no steps or disconnection, and I have taken up to 4" off of the length of my hair and am able to have an even perimeter. Would you recommend which technique for adding layers would be the easiest for someone to do at home, please? My goal is to take some weight off and have body and movement and be able to have waves (very much like yours in this video). Sorry for such a LONG post, I am not great at explaining things with few words lol 😶. If you read all of this, thank you so much for taking the time! I love watching your videos and was super happy to see you posted a new one today! 😊😊😊
Laura Berryman Hi there! I cut my own hair, as well because I've always had the same problems as you with hairdressers! Always cutting off more than I'm okay with. I layer my hair with the most mediocre method there is but it turns out beautiful every time. I separate my hair into 2 sections, the top & the bottom half. I take ONLY the top half & put it in a ponytail at the front of my head, practically to my hairline, so I look like a unicorn. I don't touch the bottom at all, in an effort to preserve my length. once I have the top half in my unicorn ponytail, I just cut straight across, then when you take it out, all that hair will be layered once it falls to the back. There are multiple TH-cam videos on this technique. I hope I could help in some way!
This video came at the perfect time! I'm starting to look into my first extensions and basically had no idea where to start! I just love your videos, they've taught me so much and I feel like my hair looks fantastic now! (And I did it myself, thanks to you!!!)
im so glad you did this video my daughter has been wanting to cut her extensions this is so helpful! and your hair is beautiful and i am loving that shirt ! :)
i love your hair! How can i reverse mine like yours. I have all one color bleached and would like the brown with the same color how can i get that? Can you make a video on possibly doing that?
h i am teresa i am a hairdresser /makeup artist but been ,disabled for a long time . well with my illness comes hair falling out at times and and getting thin spots stops growing at times i am used to long hair lol so i bought a synthetic set from amazon did not happy bought some better kanekalon ones from amazon . i love your ideas i am still learning how to put them in . but i would love for you to do a video on how to style your hair with pre done hairpieces like fishtail braids , buns ,ponytails updoes with the benable pieces etc. amazon and ebay ,vogue and others sell these . i know you can come up with styles that will blend them pertty with your own hair instead of just pulling my hair back or to the side all the time .i hope i explained it right . you are very good at this i learned to layer mine from you lol but i did it a little different but mostly all you thanks
I have extensions but sometimes they slip...do you find that the Glam hair extensions hold better? As compared to other ones? I love how flat they sit on the head. And as always, another informative video. Thanks for the tips!
try teasing your hair a bit first at the root. My hair tangles easily and I have never had an issue with the slipping of extensions.But if you do, the teasing should definitely help :) thanks for watching!
Always love watching your videos! Your voice is so soft kinda reminds me of mine 😘 I definitely need some new extensions but can't afford them just yet...perhaps I will ask Santa for some this year 🎅 lol we haven't even been through 🎃 yet and I'm already talking Christmas! XOXO💋
Please how do you sign up for the give away, because I have very thin baby fine hair. I have been wanting some extensions for some time now, but they are so expensive to just try an maybe not like them. So if you can tell me how to sign up! An I think you are a beautiful lady, an explained the extensions on how to cut an style them really well. Thank you Rebecca
I color my hair very often and I experiment with different colors all the time, are there any extensions that I can color to match my different hair colors? I always wanted to try extensions but I never knew what to do if I changed my hair color. Thank you in advance.
How would you cut them for shorter hair that's layered? None of the hairstylists in my area are willing to cut them and I don't want to ruin them as they're Foxy Locks and weren't cheap.
I need your advice ellebangs!! I recently bought a set of extensions. Some of them are too wide (I have a small head) and I would like to cut the WEFT to fit it on my head...is this safe?? If so how to do it? Plz and thanks :)
I was just wondering , my hair does NOT hold a curl , and when I section it if under my ear to curl it this section especially this section it doesn't hold at all it goes straight again and my hair is not silky straight r anything but I was wondering if there is any particular reason why it doesn't hold ? Oh and even when i hair spray it it doesn't work do u have any advice on how I would give some "grip" if u will to my hair?
+Samantha Rosinski I knoooow Adam and I actually shoot a lot of vlogs but never end up editing them because it takes so long and we both work full time jobs. I wanna keep doing hair, so doing more TH-cam videos also is very difficult :-/ I will try though!! Xx
+ellebangs these look great for my hair, I have thin/fine hair and normal clip ins can show sometimes, can I get these in England? That shirt looks lovely on you, nice colour :)
+Eilish Orman you only tone extensions. You can dye them, but I would never recommend it to anyone. I've done videos on toning extensions before. :) xx
ellebangs not get "into her web of negativity"????? Bitch are you kidding me?! What?? She didn't mention your name, first of all. Second, YOU FUCKED UP HER HAIR, and logically it's only natural when you pay someone fucking 400 DOLLARS to do your hair PROFESSIONALLY, to be a little upset. Honestly, for you to play victim and tell people she is negative, shows how sad and unprofessional you really are.

Fml i was goung to dye my hair darker. I bought thevwrong colirs. I went darker .i suk 150$ down thebdrain.
Sorry for the typos!
Did you see the shade Channon Rose threw at you in her vlog today? Saying she doesn't trust anyone doing her hair anymore now
Allyssa Marshall LOL IM SORRY IM NOT STALKING. I CAME HERE AND SAW YOUR COMMENT TOO. 😂😂
Megan Thomas lol it's all good. It sucks though because I love both these girls.
Maybe it was just an accident or someone else cut her hair and she just colored it. Maybe eventually we will get an explanation.
Megan Thomas I hope it's not her because she seems to be a very good hairstylist but sometimes even the best make mistakes
Have you done one with wigs.
Any comments on channon rose's hair cut
I replied in one of the comments below - i'm not gonna get into her web of negativity though so i'll keep it short and sweet. xx
ellebangs I found it! I'm sorry you were brought into negativity. Things definitely could have been handled different on her end.
ellebangs not get "into her web of negativity"????? Bitch are you kidding me?! What?? She didn't mention your name, first of all. Second, YOU FUCKED UP HER HAIR, and logically it's only natural when you pay someone fucking 400 DOLLARS to do your hair PROFESSIONALLY, to be a little upset.

Its Penny from the Big Bang Theory lol bet she gets that a lot
