DIY Bob Haircut from Ponytail | Quarantine Haircut for Beginners (try at your own risk 😂)

We've all been there, contemplating the DIY quarantine haircut. Maybe you found this video searching how to cut your own hair at home! I say, YOLO! There are worse things than haircut fails, and you may just have fun and learn a new way to save some money! I've been cutting my own bangs for 2 years, and did my very first DIY haircut 3 months ago (watch it here: • I Cut My Own Hair for ... ) with decent success. Wanting a fresh short haircut, I took to KZread, as one does, and was inspired by @CocoShin's fun video here utilizing the bob haircut tutorial using the ponytail method: • Quarantine Haircut DIY...
**UPDATE: Brad Mondo critiqued this "bad haircut", SO FUNNY, you don't want to miss my reaction video to his reaction video LOL (he actually has a couple tips to making this ponytail method a bit better): • Blind Reaction to Brad...
So, it didn't come out perfect, but it's fairly decent? Maybe? Or does this go under quarantine haircutting fails?? We'll go with #asylumchic 😂 My advice? Watch a handful of videos and then just give it a go! You got this!
XOXO

    I did it. My Mom can trim the back up. There are only a few stragglers. I did mine straight out of shower. I LOVE it. Scared of what my husband is going to say. It is 2 am and he was asleep when I decided. I took about 7 inches off. 🤷‍♀️. I feel much better❣️👏👏👏

    I have long hair now but a few years ago I gave myself an extreme 3/4 head shave down to a number 2. I then dyed it Blue. I loved it. The Director of Nurses at my hospital didn’t like it though. I actually had a disciplinary because of it. I felt like a rebel for the first time in my life. I quite like your cut. Nice and choppy. Brave lady.

    It's beautiful. I am a big fan of any DIY, useful things! I tried the "Wolf" hair cut. As i needed to trim, & re-style my hair, at a time when i couldn't go to my older beloved neighbourhood, where my ex. Hairdresser used to be. So, i watched some DIY vids, by amateurs, because this is what would fit me more, & it ended up very well! I made a very good job by myself! I was so proud, & happy! And yes, as you said: it's very liberating! It was very satisfying for my! Thank you for the wonderful video.

We usually work 10 hours a day (on our feet constantly) we skip lunch to get people in because someone always calls with a crisis, like these home haircuts. We work most holidays that normal people have off. We don’t have job benefits, no paid vacation or health insurance. We do it because we love doing hair. What we don’t love is ignorant people making comments like this when you have no idea what we sacrifice to be available for our clients . And yes we like to be paid for what we do!
