I am not a hair stylist, but through the years have cut my own hair. I did this cut today at home by myself. I have thin, wavy hair, and wear it straight often. It took maybe 15 mins and I was done and it turned out beautifully. I did not use the thinning scissors. I cut straight across but cutting away from my face and then did the point cut in to make it look wispy. It looks like it was done professionally. Thank you so much for this tutorial. You saved me a good $100. Super easy, super quick and excellent results!❤❤❤

I think the three pony tail cut is a game changer for long hair that needs shape. This would look wonderful on someone who has really thick hair. Good job. Thanks for the tutorial.

I am 55, I have cut my hair recently, trying out different ponytail methods, this is by far the best, getting my hair even when putting in sections is the hardest “part”. I use a wall mirror, bathroom vanity mirror and a rat tail comb…I cut straight across each end section and then I thin the ends out…if you don’t thin the ends out by point snipping your ends will look blocky/choppy. I don’t like that look, I like blended layers. The end result is really flattering to my face, like I have a double chin and middle age spread on my face and this cut is very good for me, it actually brings out my cheekbones and my hair doesn’t look too structured or formal, I like softness and movement and this has it all. I am bookmarking this one, as I will definitely be doing it again. Just make sure you have the right tools (they need to be sharp!) and you have at least two mirrors, I have a wall mirror that swivels out and it helps a lot when looking at the sides of the head and part of the top to check for evenness. Try this, if done correctly, it will fall perfectly and you will save so much money too with just a little time and patience!

Easy instructions. Thank you. I am cutting my girlfriends hair as she is undergoing radiation treatments. I pray it makes her look & feel so much better about herself.

What I love about this method is that the layers blend really well. No need to point cut around the hair. You just need to blend in the front. I thinned 30% to maintain some weight but it took out the bulk. Blow drying using the Bondi blowout brush is super easy and quick now. Looks like I just walked out of the salon. Thank you! Best tutorial.

Yes! Absolutely use thinning shears to avoid a blunt line, totally worth buying a pair (mine were $20) Depending on hair thickness and wispiness preference, adjust how aggressive you thin. This worked on my thick, straight Asian hair perfectly!!!!

I’ve been trimming my own hair for about 1-2 years now because stylists kept cutting off too much when i was trying to grow it out. I have fine, wavy/curl medium length. Today i tried this and the only difference i did was make the 3rd pony tail a little longer than the second one to keep my length. But very happy with it!! Thank you. It gives it alot of flow then having only one layer

[fabis]

I just did it and this worked perfectly to me. Dry hair and professional scissors. Thank you so much for such a useful video ❤️

[lizbethdane]

Thanks for showing that this can be done on a thinner hair type!

[Stella_In_Real_Life]

I've been trimming my hair this way for the last year while growing out my blonde.
Works well! I get a lot of compliments ☺️
Thank you.

My husband did this on my long hair. It turned out amazing with lovely layers and it makes a nice pony tail. We are saving the video. Thank you so much .

[mariaacostarizzo]

This is the first time I have seen this with 3 ponytail. I really like the finish.

You are the only hairdresser I can stand watching!

[ladyluck]

I did this this morning only I have mature hair so I blunt cut it and did a little point cutting in the ends. It turned out absolutely fantastic Thank you !!!

[autumndanyel]

I just did this haircut on myself but a good bit shorter cause my hair is super thick and heavy and I needed to lose some volume. I really like the way it turned out. Will recommend.

[worldadventuretravel]

There's no clarity as to what length to cut each one of the ponytails. Same length? Graduated lengths? Ugh

[JW-ejip]

Just tried this on my thick hair but just cut each end straight and heavily point cut it.
Turned out really well!

I’ve been trying to get up the nerve to give myself the butterfly cut for a while but keep worrying that I’ll mess it up. Recently I’ve been trying to figure out ways to lessen the risk, so I decided on the 3 ponytail method rather than 2. Then I started to wonder if using texturising scissors to cut the length would help to soften it & make it more seamless…& then I found this video! Thanks for confirming this- I’m actually going to give it a shot now!

I'd like to SEE the CUT. front and back before curling.

I have thick wavy hair and this haircut worked perfectly fine for me. I simply love my hair after this cut and also I love the fact how simple, quick and easy this tutorial is. I am never returning back to my hairstylist lol 😅
