    I am 70 yrs young and every time I get my hair cut it is an extremely bad haircut,Then it takes me months to grow it out. Some of my friends agree with me salons do not want old people in their salons.I do not have the courage to cut my own hair. Rosie I wish I lived near you. You would be the person I go to for a haircut. Thank you for this tutorial.

    Thank you so much for this! I have been doing a 'V' or 'U' Cut on myself for around 10 years, but PCOS has made my hair look very fine and stragly in the last few years. A blunt cut looks so much better and makes my hair appear way more thick and full than my previous style.

    Interesting about looking up to cut it blunt. My husband trims my elbow length hair, and he lets my hair down in 1/2” increments to trim each layer. For the front, he has me turn my head to each side to match it to the back. So it is one length, not longer in the front. I like my ends blunt as well, as layers would leave straggly pieces sticking out of my braids.

You need to be very carefull, and take really small amount hairs at once , also whenever we cut we shall measure it with our hair on the other sides,.

    💯 if you don’t have a lot of hair or want healthier hair cut it straight also if you are using bleach! If you have layers your hair looks extremely damaged cut it straight!! What i like about straight square blunt hairstyles is that when you curl the front it doesn’t make the curl higher then the back … Also if you are a little chubby it hides the side of your back and if you have it long better because it even covers your chubby arms. People who I don’t recommend is if you have short hair and have a square back with no waist DON’T DO IT but if you have it long yes, but not short

    Yes you could keep the side part if you would like a more symmetrical look but you may still have a slight variation in the length on the heavy side. If that happens just don’t look up as much when trimming the sections from the ear forward. Side parts are tricky haha and no it wouldn’t look funny when you switch it back. If you wear both parts always choose the middle for cutting

  • @hairhome7613

    @hairhome7613

    Жыл бұрын

    Hey!! Sorry I missed your comment but thanks for asking. The tilting of the head is what shifts the weight line (the ends of the hair) To see what I’m talking about, pretend you’re cutting you bangs, bring the hair forward brush straight and hold your hair where you intend to “cut” (scissor finger style) now tilt your head ear to shoulder towards the right. You should feel the hair sliding from one side of the bangs. Now bring your head back to center and voilà “side bangs” you should have the hair on the left side of the bang longer than the right. This is what’s happening on the ends of the hair when you look to the side and look up. Alternatively you look down to create a V shape. This is why stylists typically ask you hold your head a certain way for the entirety of a cut or at least part of it. Let me know if that made sense 👍🏽😊

    You can cut with the side part :) but there will always be a little bit of asymmetry when cutting with a side part depending on how your hairline grows. To disguise this don’t go for too sharp of a square shape on the heavier side.

    Hey! It would definitely look straight in the front but it would be in a slight V in the back. This technique is for those of us who really don’t want that look. If all you care is to have it straight across the front 👍🏽

    Your hair looks so uneven 😂

    Thank you for this video! I don't want to start cutting my own hair, but at this point I don't trust anyone anymore. A lot of the time it seems like they don't finish the haircut (they leave one side longer) and I have perfectionism with my hair so I can't have that. I've been finishing it myself when that happens and it comes out okay so I think I'm gonna start being my own stylist 😂 this is the best video I found so far! 🩵

    I’m glad you found it helpful! The saying “progress over perfection” helps a lot especially when learning a new skill, don’t beat yourself up if you can’t get it right the first time 💕

    ​@Hair & Home Thank you so much! I'll keep that in mind 😊 I have a question though. When you turn your head to the side and look up, do you cut straight across with your head in the same position or are you allowed to look down at your fingers and cut straight across? I watched the video a few times and thought I saw you doing both. I hope this made sense, maybe I just confused myself haha

    Yes I understand! Yes you can 👍🏽 just keep your fingers nice and tight and make sure there’s no tension left on the hair shaft. You can move your hand up closet to you whatever you need to make it easier (and safer 😅) for you
