@@jakethompsonhair Can you do a long mermaid shag haircut ?

My friend and I watched about 50 videos on how to cut a shag haircut before selecting your video to use as a guide. Her hair is extremely thin and I had never cut anyones's hair prior to this so I needed a video that would give me the greatest chance to succeed. I would watch a step then pause the video and i did that step to her hair until there was nothing left to do but remove the rubber bands and see how much damage control we were going to need. The bands were removed. I ran my fingers through her hair shaking it a bit and we both responded to the outcome by saying "oh my God it worked! I did it! Your hair looks better than I've seen it in years. What a great cut!" And what an awesome video he made for us to follow. We cant thank you enough for sharing your knowledge with us. She feels beautiful and I'm proud to say with your help "I did that". Thanks again for sharing. Teresa and Shanda Staunton. Va.

I've never watched any of these videos before. I really like this one. I've always put all my hair up at once and did it that way. Now I want to try it in these sections. My hair is also a bit thin. 80% of it actually fell out a few years ago, I guess stress. Now that it has grown back after that nightmare, it seems healthier. I am 49, thought that it would be thinning more by now but hasn't, yet.

Thank you for this clip. Responding to the “Why would anyone want to cut there own hair?” Question- sometimes it’s about money and sometimes it’s bc the stylist never does what the client asks. I’ve always liked edgy cuts, apparently many stylists don’t. Lol. I’ve either had a friend do it or myself.

I absolutely agree with you! I have been trying to find hairstylists in my area that don’t charge an arm and a leg to do shaggy cuts. I even show pictures. I get boring layers! I find that most hairstylists nowadays choose to do color rather than cut for many reasons and some do amazing color. But it’s very hard to find good cutters, especially ones that are not stuck in their own routine and are willing to expand their knowledge and, learn and do new things! Hence DIY’s!

Facts, and sometimes they straight up destroy your hair. I started cutting my own hair years ago because of bad stylist experiences, but decided to give them another chance last winter when I wanted a color change & cut that I wasn't brave enough to do on my own. I booked with the highest rated salon in my city, thinking they HAVE to be good, right? Yeah, I walked out of there in tears with a patchy, fried, Kate Gosselin cut and spent the next 6 months in wigs. 8 months later now and it's barely any longer since I'm still cutting off so many fried ends. It'll be at least another year before it grows out enough to look normal again. Obviously there are excellent stylists out there like the one in this video, but I'm never setting foot in a salon ever again.

Gather one ponytail at the top center of your head or literally on your forehead for an awesome layered haircut! Shout out !

Just did this haircut on myself this morning. I only had one pair of hair scissors so I used those. It looks so nice! I cut about 18 inches off so this feels great! Thank you for the great tutorial!

I have been searching for layered, chunky, textured, shaggy-cut techniques for months and months. Finally!!!! I followed this tute last night and smashed it!!! I have spent thousands of dollars on haircuts to only walk out of salons having a "meh it'll do" feeling after, for years. I wish I found this tute before my wedding!!. The only change for me was curtain layers as opposed to a shorter fringe as I am not a fringe fan. Thank you!!

#JuliaMinds ... Thank you so much for sharing! I was wondering if this would work just as well with natural curly hair. I appreciate your comment. Is there anything I should know that may help as I begin to perform this cut on myself? 🙏💜

I searched "Joan Jett hair" and this video popped up. Anything that brings more 1982-era shag haircuts into the world, I'm in full support of 👍👍😉

I cut these when popular in beauty school 1971. Had my salon 51 yrs. Still cut till I closed I just brushed hair all forward bangs & all. Put band in front of bangs. Cut past rubber band 3 inches Done. Long bangs most didn’t like. I showed this to my b school teacher she was amazed how I came up with that idea. I still do my own hair in several bands. No one has touched my hair since b school 👍🤷‍♀️ well done

I've been wanting this look for YEARS and no stylist has been able to look at the many pictures I show them and replicate it. So after much KZread surfing I landed on this video and turned to my husband and said, "I want you to cut my hair." Now I have a LOT of hair so manoeuvring it wet into the required ponytails took a lot of work. And he made sure that the parts were extremely precise. Before each big snip he'd ask me, "Are you SURE?" Of course I said yes because I trust him and I trusted what I was seeing on this video. It turned out AMAZING, so much so that I posted a before and after on my Facebook profile. My friends were amazed and jokingly asked if he's taking clients! (He's an electrician! 🤣) Of course I will still go to a salon for color, but I will save us the almost $150 it's been costing me to manage my mane and let my sweety play with my haircuts from now on. THANK YOU for this video!! 🙏

One thing I’ve learned over the years is every single time I go to the salon to get my hair cut I get insulted and leave upset. I have THICK hair and went the last time to get a shag. Layers lots and lots of layers which I’ve worn for several years but my hair had grown way out. The girl said “no that will look horrible!” Then had 3 people standing around my hair chop chop chop. I left with the worst hair cut. I cried. If I’m going for a perm or color , sure. I’ll go and leave happy. One time I went to a random hairdresser.outside of my town. She cut my massive hair without wetting it. And took 5 minutes. I left with the best haircut ever! I asked why she didn’t wet it and she said it was easier to find the natural direction my hair liked to go. Something like that. That woman knew what she was doing. I’ll never find her again 😭 all I know is she worked in Kentucky

I just found this video yesterday among many many others out there. This one seemed very simple and realistically possible to DIY. (I've watched others that obviously need someone to help you.) Anyway, I did it and it was fast and looks fantastic! I'm 65 and let my hair grow long and was tired of just tying it back or putting it on top of my head. I thought it would be fun to see how long it would grow. Wrong! I needed a change and this cut was IT! I feel 10 years younger and it is so easy to take care of. Thank you!!!!!

I'm a 63-year-old grandma with long dark thick hair and bangs I usually just throw it up on a bun or a high pony some little pieces out. I'd like to kind of do this layered a bit shorter look and was wondering if after this style cut can you still put it in a pony or a bun or is it just layered or short.

This is better than most haircuts I get done by professionals

@judyann1386

Highly agree.

I have long, thick quantity but fine texture hair, and have done other videos to do some long layers with ponytail method. Was super nervous to try this but I was AMAZED by how great it turned out, and feel like I got rid of a couple pounds of weight! It lays beautifully, and it let some of my natural body do its thing, would highly recommend. Took me about 20 minutes total, and spent the most time doing the sections to get them right. Good luck, home DIYers!

I have always cut my own hair in layers. One day I went to a really good stylist. She said "who cut your hair, this is the most perfect haircut I have ever seen".

I did this on myself just today and it came out insanely, amazingly perfect! I got the same chunky and straight scissors you linked that made my job so much easier. I went a little further and pulled the sides over towards my face and gave myself more texture and more layers around the face (like your other layering videos showed)! This was the first time ever cutting my own hair and man I nailed it with your tutorial! Thank you!

I have naturally curly hair and have tried hair salons over the years to get the shaggy style I like for my hair. The cut never turns out like I like it so I just do it myself. If it turns out wrong and I get mad then I only have myself to blame and didn't have to pay for it. Haha. I've recently let my hair grow a lot longer and the layers are weighed down. I watched a lot of tutorials that although the end result was gorgeous they are professionals and know about angles, methods, etc. These instructions are simple and easy to follow and I feel confident that I can follow them to recut the layers in my hair without losing too much of the length. Thanks for sharing! :)

Brilliant and what a gorgeous cut- thank you so much!

Great hair cut! I love your energy and thank you for teaching us how to DIY our hair!

Thank you so much! I just gave myself this cut and I’m pumped. Great instruction. Such a clear way of simplifying the technique.

I did this cut on myself today, and I love it! I have 2A-2B wavy hair. The last time I asked for layers, the hairdresser did a slither cut all over it, and I hated it. This cut appealed to me because it doesn’t slice through the curls. I’m really looking forward to playing with different styles.

Can't wait to try this.
