Noooo. Haha. You're not a hairdresser. The shape of ones head differs, to start with. Seen the holes in the back of the hair?

I have been using your method for years, and each time i watch this video i think "i should leave a message." Here it finallly is. This is by far the best tutorial i have come across for easy, quick diy hair cut with style! The first time i used this video, my grandma a retired beautician raved about it! Just last night i cut about 12 inches off, gave myself a shoulder length bob with layers and it worked great. I live in a remote area and thanks to your video, i can still maintain a cute hairstyle! THANK YOU SO MUCH!

I found your tutorial a little over a year ago and have been cutting my own hair this way since. I cannot thank you enough for all the money you have saved me. The results achieved with this method look exactly the same as a ridiculously expensive haircut you could get at a salon. Not to mention, I have rarely left a salon completely satisfied with a haircut. I love it every single time I cut my own hair and it looks EXACTLY how I want it to..every time! Still amazes me, even after doing it for over a year. THANK YOU!!!! P.s. I used to go sometimes up to a year without getting my hair cut because I hated the whole experience, and now I cut it myself about every 6 weeks. You're amazing.

It allows my hair to grow and look so good. People ask me who cuts my hair, and it's me, because of her!! Couldn't be simpler. I always share her video, no one else's.

Followed your instructions exactly and it turned out amazing! I even went a step further and sectioned a very small part at the very top of my head to get some shorter pieces. Been wanting a hairdresser to cut the top short and leave the bottom long for EVER! Always told "can't do it, your hair is too fine, the base won't be full enough"....well, I just did it myself and it IS full at the bottom and I still got the short layers i wanted in the top to give my fine hair some oomph. Thank you thank you THANK YOU! I did invest $18 in some quality barber scissors. Worth every penny as I can see they will be getting future use thanks to this video.

Due to health issues I rarely leave home except for doctor appointments, but even that became embarrassing. I'm older, 63, & can't work anymore. ..so no more $ for haircuts. You think YOUR hair is fine?!! Mine is SO thin - clips, hair ties, etc. just slide out. Plus the ends looked old; damaged & uneven. I washed & left some conditioner in, and watched your video several times. Went into my bathroom WITH the video so that I could pause when needed, came out with healthy, fuller looking hair (4" needed off) & blow-dried until barely damp. Round brushed only the ends under my chin with a little nourishing mousse - saved $$ and BETTER than my last "pro" cut! THANKS SO MUCH - your way helped boost my self-esteem too!

Ok so just tried this. I had washed my hair last night and didn't want to wash it again, so I just dampened it with water. I have a LOT of hair (same length as yours but incredibly thick). So this took quite a lot of effort just to brush it forward. Brushing it back after it got very knotty but such is life! I have some great hair scissors but even these struggled a bit with how much hair I was cutting all at once. Anyway, it worked brilliantly, very happy with the results. I did the top layer shorter as well and that worked well. The only thing I would add is after doing the straight line cut, do a few little snips into the hair to give it a slightly looser look (so you don't get that scissor line) - for the top layer anyway, I can't imagine you'd notice on the bottom layer. This was amazing, it cut the time it takes to cut my hair in half!

I will definitely use this in the future to trim my split ends, and the soft layers are an added bonus! Thank you!

I agree with you Kathleen. I'm always so disappointed with hair dressers. This takes me 15 minutes and only cost $10 for the scissors from sallys. Totally worth it. This is the most useful of all the diy hair cut videos I watched on KZread before taking the plunge.

jilloora I agree. I have never left a hairstylist 100% happy… Usually I lean towards unhappy. Since cutting my own hair (which I've done for years) I've never been unhappy with it. Sometimes it works out better than others, but at least when I say "No more than 1 inch" *I* will not cut more than 1 inch! I've had expensive cuts and inexpensive cuts and seriously, probably my most unhappy experience was with the one I paid the most for at a high-end place. Like others have said, it's probably only hairstylists who are getting wound up about people cutting their own hair because they are "not doing it right". Who cares, as long as we love the finished product!

I like this tutorial! As a young special needs mother I RARELY get out of my home except to doctor's appts with my son and his meducal supplies and trips eat my budget alive. I have cut my own hair most of my life too! I can do full bangs, layers, etc. that look quite well. I have even made my own clothing, accessories, even a few simple makeup products. I feel like people throw rocks at these sorts of tutorials because they've never had to struggle financially in such ways. Just because we aren't well off doesn't mean we can't invent ways to look and feel good about ourselves! Great job! :)

I've been cutting my hair since I was 14 -- am 72 now, have long hair, and always eager to save money on diy ideas. 😌Lately I've been wanting to layer my hair and you have made it look uncomplicated. Thanks for making this video. God bless you dear one. ❤️

I just tried your method on my curly hair and it turned out amazing! Didn't feel like spending 20 buck on the hairdresser for a haircut nobody ever notices, and this is a great alternative! :) Thank you for sharing!

girl , you are a genius... I'm so trying this, I'm so sick having my hair layered in a salon, they never do it exactly as I want it. Thank you for a demo.

I tried your tutorial in September (albeit cutting my hair into a much shorter version) last year, and I really liked the result I sent pictures of my (then) new haircut to my friends, bragging about how I cut it myself. LOL I'm thinking to cut my hair by myself according to your instructions again this July! Thank you from Japan!

I've been cutting my hair like this for 2 years. Great video! Easy, straight to the point and quick! Thank you!

I have now used this technique for the second time and still love it. Some tips: stop and consider the angle you cut. Remember that the "top" of your hair (if you mold it like she does) should be the longest (that's the back of your hair), so angle higher on the bottom side getting longer towards the top. Be very cautious with the second ponytail and cut. It is easy to go too short. The second time I did this, I combined it with the point cutting I've seen in other videos (scissors pointed straight into the ends, snipping to create a less harsh line) and loved it even more. Thanks again for this video!!

After watching your tutorial last year I gave myself the best haircut I've ever had! I like your no-nonsense approach. No flexing, no hawking products, just a straight-up video showing how you cut your hair. The first time I did it, it was perfect, but now I can't figure out which way to angle the scissors to get the top layers shorter. Not your fault - thanks for taking the time to post this, and don't listen to those negative comments. This is America. They're free to watch another tutorial, or to go f**k themselves.

I have very thick, curly (like shirley temple curly) hair. I have been trying to figure out how to take off some length, and layer my hair. I tried this tonight. Started off about 2 inches, looked at it, decided I need more off. Did it again. Still felt like I needed a little more. So then I divided my hair in half and just pulled to the front, and cut about another inch. My hair looks like I went to my favorite salon. THANK YOU SO MUCH. This was so easy. And as long as you are careful, it will turn out good. THANK YOU. 😊

You know what? I just tried this... removing around 4-5 inches from my hair because they were thin and not well layered. It's by far the best results I have seen, better than any haircuts I had in salons. To be honest, I decided years ago to cut my hair myself, because I never got great results for the price. Your method is fantastic! I adopt it and it will be easy to maintain in the future! Thanks so much for sharing.

THANK YOU. I tried this today on my thick and unwashed hair and It looks amazing. It took less than 5 minutes and both sides of my hair is now equal (were not before the cut). I have tried following a lot of self cut KZread tutorials and they are really good but a few too many steps not to have remember for the next time and I’ve just been cutting my hair much shorter than I want it. THIS tutorial is fast. Easy. And I can’t imagine forgetting it. And no more pausing and getting wrong, so so simple. I was so close to having to go and pay for a salon cut, which would be expensive, and, I’ve always begrudged paying as I’ve never been happy with their outcome. Now washed, I love this cut. Big thumbs up, again thank you for putting this up on KZread.

Sounds like a bunch of angry hairstylists on here mad that ppl can actually cut their own hair better than going to spend time and money at a salon.Who cares if it's not professional technique or equipment.

I found this video quite a while ago, and when I switched from cutting my hair blunt to doing it this way, I got tons of compliments! I have fine, thick hair, and the layers and tapering give it so much life. Thank you so much!

Yesterday I put my hair in a ponytail, handed my 9 year old grandson the scissors and said cut and don't freak out and don't stop until it's done LOL and he did and did a great job! But I needed it layered so i came on KZread and learned and it turned out just fine! Thank you so much for posting this! Way better than spending money at a salon for them to push their opinions or even refuse to do short layers in long hair, etc. I'll do it my way at home for free. You are awesome! :D

Ok sooooo I tried this the exact same way and it turned out wonderful. Even better I didn't pay a penny. :) I'm all smiles now. My hair looks amazing because my naturally wavy hair isn't weighed down, which my hair look a mess. I certainly recommend this to everyone. Mostly because it's easy, you don't need no one to help, and it's free lol Another thing, I read a few comments in the comment section about how it's bad to comb your hair when wet. Ummmmmm i recall that everytime I got my hair cut at a salon it was fully wet, sooooo how is this any worse?? I mean if you only do it once every couple of months how is it bad.

Agreed. You’d have a hell of a time combing it out when dry, with snarls that only become less manageable than wet hair. Duh, (to whoever said not to), you have to comb it when it’s wet. Better not to BRUSH it fast and hard (impatiently) when wet, or with a cheaper brush that tears at the hair, but it’s a no-brainer you have to comb or brush it out when wet, working from the ends up until it’s smooth and one can go in one long stroke from scalp to ends...anyone who had a mom that didn’t know this growing up, one who didn’t believe in using detangler, and always started at the scalp, ripping the hair from the head and making more and more snarls knows the foolishness and misery of not starting with the ends. Like life, if we hit those little problems (“wet”-when we first notice them, -before they “dry”-get set hard in place), and before using force in all the wrong places, we can preempt the creation of much bigger, more painful situations and experiences in our lives.

for the first time in my life i didn't have money to get a hair cut so i searched how to diy, and i just want to say thank you so much! this video helped a lot, i love it :)

This has literally helped me for yearssss. I haven't been able to afford hair cuts. You've saved my life girl

You did good girl! I have my hair up like that and was thinking about cutting it off similar. My friend came over and she said no way you can't do that! She said go on KZread and look for DIY hair cutting. There you were. Thank you

I cut layers this way but never cut on an angle. Going to give that technique a go. Clear video. Thank you.

Thank you!! $50+ dollars SAVED :) Did a another one from a professional and botched my hair but this had the PERFECT solution of MOLDING wet hair to follow cut. Thanks again :)

I did this, then sectioned just the top half (maybe third) of my hair in the same way and cut another inch off for more layers..turned out perfect. What I always wanted and hairdressers could never gave me. Saved me a ton of money and I will always do it this way from now on. Thank you so much!

I am in need of pinching pennies and am starting to dabble in DIY hair grooming & styling...and I found your tutorial! Super easy to follow - I have curly hair and only trust 2 people to cut my hair because it always gets butchered! I was able to...it took me a little bit to just trim my hair but I wanted to be confident I did it right...reshape my hair and still keep the length with your help! THANK YOU SO MUCH FOR PUTTING THIS OUT THERE!!

I am a 30 year old lady who hit hard times for the past year. I had to pay for medicine instead of a haircut! I went over a year without one. One day I got laughed at for looking like an 80s chick lol! Your video truly saved me. Not doing your hair after a while you either feel like you're way to outdoorsy, hood, etc. Every lady should be taught this in case of struggling emergency life crisis lol! Thank you so much, this would have went south fast if I attempted this myself. Much love and respect!

Tried it out, thought I was going to royally fuck up, but honestly it turned out perfect; thanks so much!!

I just did this...AND IT TOTALLY WORKED!! So easy, so fast, and FREE! I hate going to the hairdressers as they never get it right and I haven't had my hair cut for over a year. I will be doing my hair from now on, thanks for the vid!

Thank you for this video. Very helpful! Thanks for not making it excessively lonnnng as so many do.

Thank you so much for sharing your DIY haircut. I have been cutting my own long hair for 5 years because salon people always cut off more than I want. Almost 2 million have viewed your video clip. I am due for my DIY haircut at the end of the month. I will give yours a try.

Out of the dozens of hair how to videos out there, yours is the best technique! I have used your technique of three different occasions already. Thank you so much for posting this. This is my go to video whenever I need to trim.

Your so dang cute and funny. Thankyou , you did a great job demonstrating and if someone fails they weren't paying attention

The bit about arranging the hair and flattening it, was very helpful 👍

You are adorable! I have to try this. TFS!!!!

I cut my hair like this and i love it! I always ask for layers at hair salons, but they never get it right or they advice me not to do it, because my hair is too fine. I love this hair cut, because it makes my hair look really nice when i wear it up or in a bun :) Great tutorial!

mandy22f you know what the problem is, they make the layers so soft u can't make them out even if the hair is styled and blowdried. I had my hair layered one time and I had requested long layers and I wanted to keep my length and I walked out of the salon with short layers with my hair up to my shoulders. I paid for the cut but she didnt get a tip.

I've been doing this for a year from it instructions here and its great! My hair grows faster now too. Crazy. Thanks :)

Seriously, I've been using this haircut method for the last three years and I get compliments on my (hand-henna-ed and hand-cut) hair all the time. Like people have stopped me in the street to compliment it. Once you go DIY, you don't go back! Thank you so much for posting this video, it has saved me so much time and money that I've spent doing other stuff!

Yay! Glad it's working for you.

I don't care what hairstylist says about your hair it looks real good to me

THANK GOD! Someone who gets the job done, speaks English and is actually intelligent in addressing us who are just looking for a quick and easy way to trim our own hair .....instead of signing over our firstborn at a salon!! Thank you!

I wanted to leave a "thanks" for youy.. it's long overdue - this is my go-to tut EVERY SINGLE TIME!!! I trim my hair! So, thank you, I totally did NOT f-up my hair - thanks again :)

This is super helpful, thank you so much. It came out awesome. I stopped going to salons - my last 3 visits at 3 different salons were all REALLY unpleasant... third last time stylists were being incredibly catty to each other... switched salons and had a stylist make fun of my cut (yes, I had cut it myself, I don't have $60 lying around for every 6 weeks!) what she thought was behind my back... the last visit I finally had a good experience with a stylist and he was working his last day there, everyone else didn't even want to touch my hair (I'd been stupid and tried to lighten my own hair). I'd rather look a bit silly and save the money and at least not feel like I'm paying to get side-eyed.

I just cut my wifes hair like this due to the coronavirus... Worked perfect... Thank you so much

Thank you for the complements! I'm glad you enjoyed it.

You’re adorable. Who could say anything negative about this video? Thank you for posting! 💖

This video saved my life. I have high anxiety and some health issues and don't leave my house very often. Therefore I usually get my hair cut once a year. My hair is also real fine and I have been needing it cut bad for awhile. I wanted to do it myself but was afraid I'd f**k it up big time. After watching this, I washed my hair and sat down with what I needed in front of the tv and basically cut my hair right along with your video. I have been wanting to go shorter but I figured I'll start with an inch or two and see how it goes first. AMAZING! The dead shit is gone and it looks great and feels healthier. I'm going to do it a little more with each wash in front of a mirror as it gets shorter for Summer. Thank you so much for posting this!

Thanks to you, I finally conquered my fear of even lightly trimming my own hair! I love how it turned out!

thank you sooo much!! i dont trust any hair dressers because i always end up hating my hair for MONTHS and never know how to fix it. I've had dead ends that have turned into almost my whole head, but now i can do it myself. thank you!

This is the simplest hair cutting video I have watched!

I cut my wife's hair like this and it worked really well. Thanks!

Thanks for the video! It worked great on my naturally curly hair. The layers really brought my curls to life and I'm all about saving money!

Just did this myself! Easy and quick! 1st timer and it didn't fail!

Due to being locked in, for this virus I watched several videos! Have MS so, fixed income as well as a hip replacement in May 2019, my LAST haircut was a week before surgery!! Yeah, that long ago (thanks to income through disability, way too low!!)! Haircut was a MUST, my salon closed!! THIS was the most helpful Video for me, easy to understand! Able to do with my shaky MS hands/fingers!! THANK YOU for posting, I'm sure it's helped many, many people through this very hard time!!

Hello, I see where you have not uploaded in years. I pray you are busy living your life. It's April 2022 and we have been plunged into a financial crisis. Gasoline in Nevada is $5.50 and the price of food has never been higher. What you have created here is a classic haircut, one that fits most faces at most ages. At a time that may or may not be even darker than anticipated...a time where no one has a clear picture of the future, when all of us have more to worry about than our hair, the truth is, this reminds us we like to feel pretty. Thank you so much, wherever you are. You are a real blessing.

I know this young woman and she's doing very well, busy living her life, as you say.

Just learned to ombre my hair with the help with KZreadr's tutorials, and it came out pretty awesome to me. Now I'm thinking about cutting it to give it layers, so I think I'll try this one!

Hair dressers are great! I've certainly had times where I feel like they took too much off, but my hair probably needed it. I simply cut my own because I'm broke! Haha :]

I cut my hair last week using your tips. OMG! I got several friends commenting on my hair and how nice it looked with the new haircut. Thank you so much! You totally ROCK!

I've been watching this video for years and using it to cut my hair. It's the best one I've ever seen and definitely the most easy to understand. Thank you so much for taking the time to make this video. 🧡

I followed your instructions and my hair came out exactly like I wanted it! thanks !!!

Woo!

I'm a barber💈.. And I still love your tutorial... I mean, this is how we figure things out right? ..and why I went to school in the first place.. To figure out how to cut hair.. You did great.. You taught your technique just fine and it works. Kudos. I second the idea of getting just a lil better scissors but hey it works.. I love it and you've helped a lot of people out and they seem extremely happy.. So keep doing what you're doing and don't worry about what other people think. ✌

I personally want to give you a BIG THANKS! I watched several videos and know alot about hair. I love to style hair, that's my passion. Can't get myself to trust scissors because of past experience when young and have been teaching myself to overcome the fear and strive more into cosmetology. This was really not time consuming at all and im a SAHM with three kids and was OVERDUE for a hair cut. This worked perfect to my liking.

I'm a hairdresser since 1990. And i really like the way you cut your hair. Turn out great!!

Loving this! Just cut my hair about three inches and it looks fabulous. Thanks a bunch for such a simple and easy to follow video.

Going to try this tomorrow. I have long, thick hair and every time I go to the stylist they are like "Yea, you really need to cut about 5 inches off." Um just because you have over processed, broken 2inch hair does not mean you get to hack at mine lol!

THANK YOU!! I totally needed this tutorial.

Thank you. Your video was very clear and you explained every step in details. You are well spoken and you were very pleasant to listen to. I followed your instructions and it worked out very well. I'm sure you have said many people a lot of money. Thank you for sharing your talent with us.

Okay, this is the best and easiest tutorial I've watched and I'm definitely gonna try it! Thanks!

I've been cutting my hair similar to this since I was 14! 7 years later I still do it to just trim my ugly ends. But I love the idea how you did it on the second part! I'm about use that right now lol

I have literally watch this video and successfully cut my hair twice now. Props to the girl who made this for saving me from anxiety due to split ends!!!!!!

Works great for short hair, too! I have hair below my chin and this is the best tutorial I've found for cutting MY hair!! YOU'RE A LIFE SAVER! and a money saver. Thank you!

your explanation is so straight forward and easy to follow. thank you for this video going to try this tonight. :)

Still loving this way of cutting my hair. I do some point cutting to make mine a little shaggier since I have really wavy hair. But using your instructions has worked for over 2 years now, my hair is about 8" longer and people frequently tell me they love how it looks without soliciting their opinion. Hope you have found the job you love. If not make more videos!

+zuzu petals Thank you zuzu! I have a great job working in my field, but hope to re-make this video "professionally" at some point in the future :].

Very helpful. After watching many different videos, I came back to this one because it made the most sense to me for my 'at home' needs. Thank you.

My hair isn't long enough for this method, but during Covid 19, what a great idea!

I tried this and it totally worked! savior of poor grad students everywhere! thanks!
