I'm not a stylist but I'm scissor happy and always end up cutting too much of my OWN hair. But ... It's ALWAYS worth it. 💯

More trim videos please!!! They are sooooo relaxing.

This was very informative and educational, thank you so much!!!

GREAT post!!! Very informative and clear. LOVE the examples too!!!

I don’t understand why people just don’t get the trim done in one sitting. It cost more to go and get it done in two sittings.

In this case, I think the client was already on a two-week schedule to see the stylist. I'm a one-and-done type of person, so I'm with you on that.

The term scissor happy should not exist...unhealthy long dead ends are not fashionable. They are ugly. Cut the hair if it needs to be, and get your hair on a healthy regimen.

Maybe the hair needed to be trimmed a little bit more but, what did the client want? The term "scissor happy" is for stylist that cut the hair the client told them not to cut. Do not forget who's paying

@rayshellekeyes7974

But maybe the client didn’t want it up that high. That’s why she said to come back in 4 weeks. That’s probably what she wanted. Like she said some ppl do care more about length

I like the explanation about split ends. This is the first time I totally understand. The past hair stylist I had always gave me hair a cut, not a trim, so I stopped going to them. Also, they never educated their clients . Are you in the New York area? Sandra W.

What kind of hair shears are you using? and can you throw some good name brands out there that are affordable!

What do you as a stylist think of machine like the split ender pro?

Do you cut hair when wet or do I dry and straighten it first

Are u in new York . I want to come for a trim

My new hairdresser was cutting my hair this way. Pulling it to.the side and cutting (bc I wanted to keep length) but I had like 5 inches of very split ended thin hair. The new hairdresser I went to said she was cutting my hair wrong which left "pockets" for thinner hair to come. She instead brought my hair straight up.in the air and cut it kinda blunt to cut the bad damaged hair off. What's the real deal? I'm confused.

This is soooooooo late! But if your client wears their natural hair out how do you get their ends to not be so blunt when they do twist/braids?!

Swear this my issue I wanna find someone that’s not scissor happy I want healthy hair but the search to find a hair stylist that promotes healthy hair growth is hard in my city...I’m natural so a lot of ppl don’t do natural hair

Muito bom!!

I finally cut my mothers and she is going to get another one on Xmas her hair was severely unhealthy and she didn’t want me to cut anything but we agreed on a inch I told her u cannot expect for me to cut no hair however she’s transitioning as well

Very nice video.

Ugh, I wish I watched this video before trimming my own hair lol it's so uneven. But its hair and it grow back, but geesh, I wish I wouldve watches this lol

do you have any tips for people who are losing hair? I had thick hair but now since I started the no poo method, I feel as though I lost a lot. I've come to the conclusion as to why I am losing hair, it's because I don't have enough oil in my roots anymore. Is there anyway to combat that? And when my oils do come back to how it was before, how long will it take for my hair to gain it's thickness back. I'm only 18 and I am losing hair, I just miss my thick hair

Okay so my problem is... I keep getting thin ends. I’m literally doing everything and yet the always come back. I get all the see through ends clipped off... start over ... wear protective styles... wash & condition my hair, limit heat tools to make once every 3 months. I’m oiling my hair and being really gentle... I get alot of fast growth but then my ends are back then and have to get them cut and start all the way over again!

Ceycie Mateo I have the same issues! For me, I think the hairs probably Compromised from the split end all the way up the shaft towards the scalp. Once I cut the visible damage, days later there will be yet another split. I also blame the cheap scissors I was using. I don’t want to shave my hair off, obviously I’ll just have to live this way for a while. I am looking for some good scissors that are middle of the road so I can cut my own dead ends off at home. Have you found any scissors that work well for you?

@ChiChi-ul9be

Maybe you are not cutting the entire split end off. So even though it seems like you are trimming, the little bit that you leave keeps splitting.

Thin spots, uneven hair, does not mean damaged hair. Scissor happy is what stylists are. They talk about split ends, but they NEVER show them to you, and I can't seem to ever find any.. Just because ends are frizzy, or are "see through" does not Eemian they need to be cut, because the hair is in the process of growing and at times, will be uneven. Not all strands grow at the exact Same length. This is why the hair stays the exact same length, year and year, after year.

@CrystalM1917

5 жыл бұрын

I have to agree. And additionally, when you are cutting down through the hair...how can you expect the hemline to ever be truly even? If you want your hair to ever go past neck/ shoulder, you fant keep it completely even month after month. Imo you have to let it grow out some, baby your ends wait longer to trim and then do a trim just to n get it past this typical length.

Virginia Roundtree not at all. But being that hair strands have a life cycle of its own, the OP was simply stating that uneven hair doesn’t always mean damage.

Then they go on to talk about how I will still have my length & they don’t want to cut too much. No you don’t want to do too much work. Just cut the dead ends off. That’s why I’ve decided to watch a bunch of videos & learn how to do it myself.

Ugh that hair needed 3 to 4 inches cut baby you like my daughter she is fully natural didn't want to get that big chop my daughter still has length and its thick sweety its ok cut it now my baby feels so much better and she can see the difference in her hair.

Just because your hair is thin at the bottom does not mean it's unhealthy. You hair naturally grows thinner at the ends. A straight edge is VERY unnatural. These hair stylists need to stop it. My hair grows greatly when I stop going to the salon. I'm done with hair stylists.

@BblackBeautyy correct, thin ends signifies breakage.

You could be a good politician, because you talking, talking and not explaining what you doing, after watching the video I got no idea how to trim hair like a pro, I just learned split ends are bad 😂😂😎

You did teach anything about how to trim tho

*What is the Gospel?* The true gospel is the good news that God saves sinners. Man is by nature sinful and separated from God with no hope of remedying that situation. But God, by His power, provided the means of man’s redemption in the death, burial, and resurrection of the Savior, Jesus Christ. Ephesians 2:8-9 For it is by grace you have been saved through faith. And this is not your own doing; it is the gift of GOD, not a result of works, so that no one may boast. Romans 10:9 9 because, if you confess with your mouth that Jesus is Lord and believe in your heart that God raised him from the dead, you will be saved. JESUS CHRIST can come anytime! Just Believe ❤️ Love you and GOD BLESS

She should have cut more. Her ends were still see through. Smh

That was cruspy
