Disclaimer : I am by no means a hair professional, but this is just how I’ve always cut my own hair when I wanted some layers. I don’t want to be responsible for any mistakes, so only try this if you’re absolutely certain you want to, but be open to making any mistakes on your first try. If cutting your own hair is something you wanted to try and if it’s you’re first time doing it, it’s best to start cutting off little by little at first. Especially if you’re a little scared, since this is your first time. So instead of cutting an entire inch, start by cutting off half an inch and go from there. That way you can fix any mistakes if any, without compromising too much length, or straighten off any jagged edges, and see if you actually like the cut before continuing. After years of cutting my own hair, I’ve learned exactly what style and how much length I wanted cut off. I now love cutting my own hair.

I did it. Came out perfectly. I am 56 and never cut my hair before. I cut-off 8 inches. The last hair cut I had was March 4, 2020. Yes my hair is still long, but it feels so much better. thank you 🌻🌻

I'm a guy with long hair and currently living in Kenya and I didn't trust anyone here to cut my hair so it's just been growing and growing and getting super annoying. Last night my hair was nearly to my waist and today my hair is exactly how I've wanted it. It took me about 5 minutes because I'm less concerned with everything being perfectly even. This video just changed my world!!! Thanks!!!

I just did step 1 for the overall length (which was almost down to my waist at this point) and am thrilled. My scissors weren't as sharp as I hoped and ended up having to finish it with my sewing shears so I'm going to wait until I get a new pair to do the crown and bangs and tidy up the little point cutting I was able to do. I love the "double hair tie" technique as I can't cut even close to a straight line to save my life and it was very satisfying to pull away the wee ponytail of dead ends. HA!
And I am envious of your thick, lovely mane. I have what can only be described as super thin, super straight, super fine baby hair. My whole head of locks is seriously just a tiny fraction of your bangs. I'm really not kidding.
Thanks for not only making hair cutting look easy but also to be just that easy, too.

This was the BEST, most helpful tutorial I’ve seen about cutting your own. And I’ve watched at least 30. Thank you VERY much for posting!

Hi I'm a Aussie in Australia, im 56ys..
I agree with everyone on here who replied to you....
I also was hesitant to cut my hair as well
I've watched a few others but they weren't right for me by way it was explained & showed...
Your instructions are so easy, simple to follow, Ive been laying my hair your way the last 5 years I just layered my hair again this morn..
Nearly 5 years ago was the first time I've ever cut layered my hair till I came across your video,
I'm deaf so it's really hard for me to listen & read captions while I'm cutting my hair,
With your video i don't need to listen to your instructions on how to? All I need to do is watch & mimic how you show it on your video..
I'm so surprised at how easy laying hair can be?
I have long hair nearly down to my waist so u probably saved me a few hundred bucks going to the hair dressers over the years? & the layers looks great!
I'm Shocked To Say You Are The Only One I Trust Cutting My Hair!
So Well Done & Thank You for Sharing....
Take care & Be Safe!, , 😷😷😷😷😷

This is May 2020 there is pandemic going on, you can't go get your hair cut now and won't be able for a few weeks more. I did it, I cut my own hair. It looks, great! I ended up cutting about 1 1/2 inches. This is a very helpful, clear and concise video. Thank you!

[lunadeberry]

I agree with other viewers. Your method is the best, even comparing with the professionals. Yours is so simple, easy to follow, your instruction is clear and the cut is quick.! 2 thumbs up!

[astronette]

Absolutely hate going to the hairdressers.. tried this and in 5 minutes.. voila new haircut!! Brilliant, thank you 😀😀😀

[notplayinganymore]

I have thick hair and usually would get layers but anxiety and lockdown has meant a simple straight chop. You wouldn't believe how light my head feels after using your technique! Definitely will be doing this again. Thanks xx

[CrystalBryantLovesJesusChrist]

Genius technique, I just cut 5" off length, gave myself long bangs, and cut layers. I used my cutting scissors, thinning shears and 3 rubber bands. Turned out great and it was FREE!!! 😘

[Vanessa-mpec]

You definitely did a better job at explaining and doing a simply cut than anyone else I’ve seen in doing this.
Thank you!

I did this the other day (even tho I was very nervous) and it turned out great. I followed some advice I read elsewhere, and made my ponytail a little further back from my forehead so my front layer won't be as short. The layers aren't as dramatic this way, and that's what I wanted. I do need to improve my pointcutting skills but I guess that will come with a little more practice.

[maribeldeleon]

I love how you made it look so easy. I saw your video and i went ahead and cut mine. My hair is curly so its much harder to manage it, but i did and i loved the results. Thank you girl. You have beautiful hair.

[pangvang]

Yeah, I did it! I'm just done cutting my hair style like your. It look so beautiful. I love it! Thanks for the video.

[pauline]

I watched half a dozen videos on DIY layers and your video seemed to be the clearest, simplest and easiest. I followed your instructions (except I had wet hair) and my hair turned out exactly the way I wanted it. Perfect! Thank you so much!

[shericastro]

I literally just watched this and cut my hair the way you advised. Turned out great. Simple and easy. That’s all I needed and saved $20!

[justme]

Wow, this is the bravest i've seen so far. The other own haircut videos i've watch just trim the ends of their hair

[rachealzhang]

[tinagrace]
