This haircut was done years before Brad Mondo ever came onto it and it took him several tries to refine. I first saw it done by a nice Midwestern woman sometime around 2015 and it was a short and sweet demo on really long hair. I’ve been cutting my hair myself ever since with a few refinements from a nice Filipino hairdresser to give it more definition on the sides. It’s simple and looks great. My hair has grown out, is healthy, and I never leave crying.
Are you talking about MissLizHeart video? That's the haircut I've been giving myself for years. And the unicorn one I did when I was 13, I'm 42 now. My mom did the unicorn when she was younger, too.
Paul, I want to thank you for not only making DIY-accessible haircuts for those of us without a budget for the salon, but also your humor. You are a funny dude and I enjoy your jokes throughout!
Paul can you please do a second part of this video where you record yourself sectioning off the ponytails please? And then maybe heat styling this cut also?🙏🏼 thank you🩷
Y would he skip the most crucial part??? We need to see him actually sectioning and putting the hair in these 3 pony tails 🤦🏽♀️ . im not even gonna finish watching cuz that just annoyed me
You didn't actually watch the whole way through, but still felt the need to comment? If you watched to the end you would understand it better. He shows the 3 ponytails and how they affect the cut.
@@alexisbalmer4675 no because how would a person show step #1 last ? that doesn’t make sense why not go in the correct order? Either way im sure this video was helpful for many people so great job regardless.
Oh goodness! That hair is almost identical to my hair, the color and texture… but my hair is almost to my knees. It is SOOO heavy and thick. I’m trying to work up the nerve to cut it myself. I want long layers.
This keeps enough hair to make it still feel substantial, but takes off enough weight to give the gorgeous layers and extra volume and body. Gorgeous !
I've been cutting my own hair for nearly a decade and wanted something different.. searched butterfly cut and after getting through all the Mondo bots, I clicked on this one. Great explanation, easy to follow and you're FUNNY. Instant sub. ❤
I just love your tutorials. So difficult to find a hairstylist that understands this cut....But what I love the most in your tutorial is the shaking part!!!!
I laughed sooo hard when you started shaking the head omg 🤣 cracked me up. But I’ve never done a cut on myself before so I would have needed to see the actual parts and how the ponytails were put in there and a comparison of a before and after picture. I didn’t like the ends and how they came to a “V” shape and are scraggly. Does this cut make the hair go into a “V” or is the mannequin like that already? Cute video!! Thank you!!
Me and my Boyfriend just cut my hair watching your video following your steps and so far it looks 😃👍 my boyfriend loves it he said it looks like I just had a makeover. It feels better the top is so much lighter I feel like a lot of strain that was in the back of my head near my neck is gone. My boyfriend can't stop talking about how hot I am and it looks so much better. Thank you sir
When cutting each section.... on ourselves..... do we have to cut up first like you and then cut across when softening??.... or can we just cut straight across both times and get the same effect???❤❤❤❤
I have done the butterfly haircut on myself 3 x in the last 30 days, only because I didn’t want to cut too much off! I even had a moment or I thought maybe I should just go get a haircut, but knowing that they charge an arm and a leg now for anything past the shoulders And I’ve had horrible hair that I’ve paid $100 and had to go back and get fixed This simple process and cutting your own hair or giving yourself fresh new layers again literally makes me want to go to the hair salon again I’m already completely over trying to lighten my hair the last time I light my hair salon and spent almost $500 getting a balayage, but the woman ended up giving me highlights on top of that Which is why I realized she charged me so much I’m just really turned off by hairdressers these days
Can this cut be adapted to growing out full bangs? My bangs are at about my cheeks but the rest of my hair is long and I'd like to add some layers to the length to blend more with the bangs growing out stages. Thank you!
beautiful! btw, just to have that hairstyle more on the strong V shape what trick would you recommend, after the technique of the 3 ponytails? thanks I have been using this technique but creating the ponytails horizontally and not vertically. It works well too. thanks for the video
I did Brad Mondos butterfly cut a week ago and I’m not entirely thrilled with it. This cut seems to be more of what I had envisioned. Do I need to wait for my layers to grow out now to try this cut or could I do it now?
I was wonering... I've seen some people cutting the strands in a horizontal line but you did it in a more diagonal line, right? Is there any difference in them? If there is, which one would be more suitable for someone with thick hair who is not very fond of volume?
Hi Paul 😊 is there a way to use the same ponytail methods on short hairstyles? Like for a short shag or a long pixie, would that work? Love your videos!!! Never stop making them ❤❤❤
He did a quick version of showing he showed where the sections were at. 2 inches back right at the hair line. 1st sect. Highpointright behnd ear on second point combed up to front pony smoothly then back ...
@Paulwattshair Hi! If you dont mind me asking, how does this hidden ponytail cut differ from the hidden butterfly cut where you have a ponytail on top of the head (with hidden ponytail), and a ponytail on the forehead (with hidden ponytail)? I have very fine hair past my waist and im trying to figure out the best method or combination of your methods! I would love the result to make my hair look as thick and full as possible without losing length. I love the look of wild, tapered rock n roll looking hair, ... I love the base in a tapered V shape, but i still need all my layers to be long, esp since my hair is so fine, and also, i do not like that mullet type of look where the front layers are short and shelf-like lol. I wouid like some face framing layers, but not going too deep into the rest of the hair, becasue that will also take away from the density of the rest of my fine hair. So basically I would love a long layered voluminous look on my waist length hair, (that will keep the length) with a few face framing layers (so i have a few pieces to pull down to make a ponytail or updo look prettier). From your expertise, which of your methods or combination of methods (this one, the original hidden butterfly one, or even the one where you put one ponytail on the very top of the head) do you recommend? Ive been trying to figure out and predict the outcome with each of these or with trying to incorporate a few of these methods, but im so confused and really need your help! Thank you!!
I’m in a similar situation (fine hair, somewhere between waist and hip length) and want some layering and face framing but worried about ending up too thin. What I think I’m going to do is the modified version I saw by Christina Marie where she does the 2 ponytail method, but leaving out the bottom layer of the hair so that the bottom doesn’t end up too thin/tapered/not such an aggressive V, and also she cuts at an angle rather than straight so the layering isn’t as short/dramatic. And I’m not going to take loads off, can use the bits I left out as a guide for how short I can go without losing much length. And then I’m going to do some shorter face framing pieces at the front and blend them in rather than doing the entire front ponytail really short, as I can’t afford to lose that much density
@@meinkanta Thanks for replying! Sounds like you and I are thinking along the same lines! I have also watched Christina Marie and her hair turned out gorgeous, although she has probably 10x the amount that I do! I do like the idea though of leaving that bottom layer out, esp because with my hair being so fine, I don't think that layer is def the length, I think some of my length comes from a little higher up if that makes sense, so at least leaving that bottom layer out will preserve something just in case all goes wrong! Have you watched Paul's video where all the hair is pulled up on top of the head (not on the forehead or above the eyebrows) into one ponytail? I'm wondering what the results of that would be ( pulling everything/cutting straight up) instead of over directing one (unicorn) or both (butterfly) ponytails to the front? I'm not very good with visualization, but I think the single ponytail on the top high point of head might be safer since the front pieces have to travel further , possibly avoiding any disconnection in the front and possible shelf like layers....that what im really afraid of, because I don't have enough density for mistakes😂. Please keep me posted with your thoughts and hopefully we can figure something out together...but I do think we are on the right track with Christina's modified version!
@@meinkanta The video I mentioned in the above comment so you can reference it is How to cut Voluminous Layers 2024, it's from 3 months ago. What I like about that one is he takes so little off, but it makes such a difference. So I wonder if it would be safer to start with that one and go from there. The only thing that concerns me with that one is that Paul mentions that that cut is more of round layers, and in my research I have read that square layers are better for finer hair. So I just left a comment on that video asking Paul if there is a way to modify the way the hair is held/angle of the cut to make the layers square. I hope he sees it and can help us! But I'm curious as to what your opinion is too!
This is the second time in two years that I cut my hair with your videos. I have just done this one and it looks amazing 🤩 my hair feels so much healthier and also I like the waves that this haircut gives. I also think that my hair (semi wavy and thin hair) works good with this haircut so it depends on how long you have your hair and if it works for your type of hair! Thank you 🙏
Yeah so just don’t do it. Your layers will beautifully feather out laying nicely any way. I hate point cutting and when hairstylists have done it. Ultimately you know your hair best and how it reacts to ways it’s cut and the products it likes or doesn’t like. You got this!
I don’t know whether to be pee’d off of kind of happy my hair isn’t long enough to do this 😂, I’m bad enough faffing with sections as it is…arm ache lol ..floofy curly frizzy hair that goes,I don’t want a parting there thank you very much 🙈
The third ponytail wasn't sure if it's just the top middle section, wish you could've shown more how it was sectioned. But nonetheless, I think I have a good idea. I used to do this cut a lot and in 3 sections but the second ponytail I would divide it like passing my fingers at the top of my ears to the back, but the way you did it makes more sense and gives more structure. The way I did it, gave more of an "emo" type of look.😅
I'm about to do this on my hair! But I just really want to say, this guy is freakin funny! 😂😂 (When he does the hand flying for the butterflies) 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
Así lo quiero,Pero nadie da en el punto,lo tengo más abajo de la cintura! Siempre quise este corte,dado que no me queda como quiero nunca ,ya no me lo corto!

yes exactly, my aunt is a hairdresser and she told me this trick back in 2000

I’ve been doing it on myself for decades. It’s a great cut.
I would have liked to see creating the 3 pony tails.
Paul, I want to thank you for not only making DIY-accessible haircuts for those of us without a budget for the salon, but also your humor. You are a funny dude and I enjoy your jokes throughout!
Yes girl I love them for this.
How do you do each ponytail... where do you section each ponytail at?...if you could may be do or add that to this video?
You do first one as like in Brads video, and cover first one with second and third in the exact same direction as first one
Sweetheart he's telling you in the beginning of the video, with the two golden lines one pony at temple and second mid skull I think 😂
Paul can you please do a second part of this video where you record yourself sectioning off the ponytails please? And then maybe heat styling this cut also?🙏🏼 thank you🩷
Thank you so muchc🙏. Beautiful!!😍 You forgot to draw the sections for us at the end 😟
I just did this cut on my long hair, came out beautifully thank you
So how did you do the 3 ponytails? One on each side of your head and one in the back and then what ? Is there a chart or a video for that. 😊
Really nice. Could you tell me, though, exactly how to create the very front section?
Yes. I couldn’t see it properly
Y would he skip the most crucial part??? We need to see him actually sectioning and putting the hair in these 3 pony tails 🤦🏽♀️ . im not even gonna finish watching cuz that just annoyed me
You didn't actually watch the whole way through, but still felt the need to comment? If you watched to the end you would understand it better. He shows the 3 ponytails and how they affect the cut.
@@alexisbalmer4675 no because how would a person show step #1 last ? that doesn’t make sense why not go in the correct order? Either way im sure this video was helpful for many people so great job regardless.
I agree. I wish he would have started the video with step 1, 2 & 3.
Oh goodness! That hair is almost identical to my hair, the color and texture… but my hair is almost to my knees. It is SOOO heavy and thick. I’m trying to work up the nerve to cut it myself. I want long layers.
He does explain where to part the hair though! I just cut my hair this way and it worked great!
This keeps enough hair to make it still feel substantial, but takes off enough weight to give the gorgeous layers and extra volume and body. Gorgeous !
Did it and cut the ends off too. Just fabulous, thanks for sharing!!!! Calling it the mermaid cut! ❤
how is the very front sectioned is it rounded or in a triangle ?
Just straight down from parting to hairline like in the video
It would of been better if you started the video showing us how to part the 3 pony tails before you started cutting.Came out soo nice. Thanks you.
Yes!!!
You’re like the Bob Ross of haircuts. I love it! 😂❤
I've been cutting my own hair for nearly a decade and wanted something different.. searched butterfly cut and after getting through all the Mondo bots, I clicked on this one. Great explanation, easy to follow and you're FUNNY. Instant sub. ❤
I really love the hair court, it's perfect for my new client, thank you so much ❤❤
Great to hear!!
I just love your tutorials. So difficult to find a hairstylist that understands this cut....But what I love the most in your tutorial is the shaking part!!!!

You didn't show how you sectioned off the very front piece...???
He did towards the beginning of the video
@@jolenemeverden6603Not really, he just drew the lines and some people need to actually see it done to understand.
If you want to watch. There’s another version of this. Waterfall wolf cut is the name.
You can see where he sectioned it when he starts to take pony tails out. There were 3 pony tails. He also explained.
Would you recommend cutting this hair dry using this method?
Looks so nice. Really lovely. X
You’re great, luv watching your tutorials😍👏🫶
I really enjoyed this, thank you!
That is amazing last time I do wolf cut by myself is amazing successful and now this one is more and more amazing❤
Me and my Boyfriend just cut my hair watching your video following your steps and so far it looks 😃👍 my boyfriend loves it he said it looks like I just had a makeover. It feels better the top is so much lighter I feel like a lot of strain that was in the back of my head near my neck is gone. My boyfriend can't stop talking about how hot I am and it looks so much better. Thank you sir
Awesome! What color is that? A light copper? How would I ask for it?
But what about these thin seethrough ends? Look like split ends... people cut them off when they look like this, and here you made them
I love them ❤ no cut it off
Would I change the location of the ponytails in the front if I always part my hair on the side?
Great video! Exactly what I was looking for! Love the humor too 😂
I like your sense of humor 😃
@@l_tmszk thanks 🙏🏻
So where do I find the video? Are the chart of how to create the three ponytails in the sections of the head?
When cutting each section.... on ourselves..... do we have to cut up first like you and then cut across when softening??.... or can we just cut straight across both times and get the same effect???❤❤❤❤
You wouldn't get the same effect
@@PaulWattsHaircut up or across? Up & then across?
Thank you so much!!!!! This is such an easy way to do my layers!!!!!
The hair shake is so funny every time
Are you cutting all 3 ponytails when u do the 1st one?
You are very entertaining to watch, fun and interesting
Thank you, I appreciate it
I absolutely love what you teach. I'd love to come to you to update my skills.😊. You're so down to Earth. Love your Ethics ❤

This simple process and cutting your own hair or giving yourself fresh new layers again literally makes me want to go to the hair salon again
I’m already completely over trying to lighten my hair the last time I light my hair salon and spent almost $500 getting a balayage, but the woman ended up giving me highlights on top of that
Which is why I realized she charged me so much
I’m just really turned off by hairdressers these days
This cut is great and easy to do, thank you so much!
Also you are very funny and makes the video really enjoyable to watch 😊

Yo kiero saber como le hizo en la ultima coleta porfavor si agarro en triangulo ahi como cuando cortas el fleco pero en mayor cantidad
I did Brad Mondos butterfly cut a week ago and I’m not entirely thrilled with it. This cut seems to be more of what I had envisioned. Do I need to wait for my layers to grow out now to try this cut or could I do it now?
Gorgeous cut wow 🤩
I wish you would have shown the partings for ppl doing them at home
My hair turns out great every time I try your haircuts 🥳👏🌹🙏
Tell beauty school people how to do this
I was wonering... I've seen some people cutting the strands in a horizontal line but you did it in a more diagonal line, right? Is there any difference in them? If there is, which one would be more suitable for someone with thick hair who is not very fond of volume?
So how does this cut work for long hair that is thin?
Perfect timing, i need to cut my hair again and this is perfect. 😂🎉❤
Hi Paul 😊 is there a way to use the same ponytail methods on short hairstyles? Like for a short shag or a long pixie, would that work? Love your videos!!! Never stop making them ❤❤❤
Beautiful! Will this work on thin curly hair?
Are these disconnected layers ? How do they differ from normal layers?
セクション分けのラインが見えないのと、ヘアセット前の全体像が見たかったです。セルフカットの参考にしたかったです
Where can I get that mannequin that you are working on?Please?Reference it
He did a quick version of showing he showed where the sections were at. 2 inches back right at the hair line. 1st sect. Highpointright behnd ear on second point combed up to front pony smoothly then back ...
thanks i did this to my hair and i liked it❤
I love the shaking part
❤🌟❤🌟❤🌟❤🌟❤
Where were you when I was in BS? What a great instructor you are. TYVM for sharing your brilliance!
Love it
Awesome
Why did the first longest layer look so frazzled on the ends?
Section one: end of eyebrows, section two: up to back of the ear, leftover section part 3.
Un grazie dalla Sicilia ,super 🪂🤗🤗🤗😁❤️
Awesome!!!

I started cutting my own hair in 2020. I normally do the wolf cut. I might have to give this a try. I love all those layers.
I hope my hair is long enough! Definitely doing this!
I feel like you’re creating shelves in the hair . I like really blended layers .
I would have liked to see how you do the 3 pony tails. But I think I could figure it out. Thanks anyway .
Very pretty 🥰
I took would've liked to see the parting of the sections and the final look that is in the screenshot to have you interested in watching the video.
Will this work on very straight hair?
I LOVE THIS!
So great! Thank you

Thanks
So if i do this do i shake my head like that when im done? Lol
Would be nice if he would have shown how to part for the last one on the bangs darn it
This is amazing! Will be trying this & I subscribed !
Cracks me up...butterfly imitation. Lol
Así lo quiero,Pero nadie da en el punto,lo tengo más abajo de la cintura! Siempre quise este corte,dado que no me queda como quiero nunca ,ya no me lo corto!
I thought tail 2 was the same as tail 3?
Lovely ❤
Wow looks just like mine
thank you
😂 I did skip to this part *EDIT* 11:21 Sent me 🤣 LEAVE THE ENDS. I do prefer it with length lol
Forgot to add..it’s awesome
The way he rips through the hair with that comb 😳
Only bc it's not real
The Botox Butter Bounce 😂❤ love it!!
I love the shaking 😂😂😂😂
