I am REFORMED!!!! I did this tonight and got the best haircut I’ve had... well, ever! I get SO tired of paying and explaining what to do to my curly hair to a stylist only to walk out with hair worse than before I came in. They just don’t seem to understand why we want our “V” and until yo break with naturally curly hair you don’t get it and it allows me to let my hair naturally air dry and my curls simply LOVE me for it! Thanks girl! And for those comments that say, “ go pay for a hair cut- in a stylist blah blah- then you’re probably the same person I pay that I get bad haircuts from- they just don’t get it.
I'm getting ready to do this right now as I have the same freaking problem whenever I go somewhere and pay someone to cut my hair. The last one was the worst ever!! She cut like a bowl shape like half way up the length of my hair and then started going to town with the thinning shears!!! I said "NO" I do not want my hair thinned and she's like well I have to or it won't lay right, blah, blah, blah!! Well, I've heard and read somewhere that you never use thinning shears on naturally curly hair and this dumb ass did! Supposed to have been specially trained from somewhere but how the hell could she not know about thinning shears being a no no on curly hair? Never again. My hair is super long right now and I have to cut it because it's too long to do anything with, I'm an older woman so wearing my long hair down doesn't work for me anymore. I just want the vee shape and the length to be at my collarbone.
I have curly hair but I've always just gotten my hair cut straight across (my mom cut it until last year, and I was very explicit that I didn't want it styled, just cut off the required amount to donate it.) Why is the V shape helpful?
Kristen, I love the results you got, but a tip. If you don't want the ends broken, don't brush it like that. Start at the ends, and go up gently. Especially when it is wet.
It's been a year since I had haircut. I followed this and my hair turned out great. The softeness is back. I may never visit a salon again. I've never had good luck with stylists. They never seem to know how to cut curly/wavy hair.
People in the comments be saying "use a wide tooth comb!" and I can agree that's a good idea, but only for initial detangle. She wanted to make sure to get the hair very straight and smooth together in a ponytail, and you do that with a BRUSH.
Just finished my quarantine cut... turned out fine! I decided to go slow, cut off just a little bit, then I’ll go back in a couple days when my hair settles and clean it up, cut more layers, etc. My hair is just about exactly the same as Kristen’s
I tried this yesterday and it worked great! I was looking to trim my dead ends and clean up my layers and this did the trick. I have long, wavy hair and i'm very happy with how it turned out.
You just saved my head! I’ve been snipping away for weeks now and it was just getting shorter and shorter and looking worse than ever. I followed your directions to a T and am so happy with the results :) . Thank you for explaining how to do layers too. Going to try that next
Yep! I just chopped 6 inches off on the first cut using the triple unicorn method. It Looks Good!❤ It feels much softer, its lighter and full of layers. Pretty!💗😊
I love, did it myself and I love the layers. Did 3 set of layers and it looks like i came out the salon! Just what I needed after being locked up in the house for 3 weeks!!!!
I've let my husband cut my hair for 25 yrs and now I'm going to start cutting my own hair like we did in Jr high and high school. Thanks for giving me courage to do this myself. My husband won't get so nervous anymore. ☺
I've just done this. This is so easy, I can't believe I've spend money for having people do it way worse than I could have done myself. Thank you so so much for sharing and explaining, you're amazing!
THANK you! I'm an old woman and have never managed to find a hair-cutter who ever did anything to my hair that I actually liked. I especially like the fact that you included additional layers. My hair is down beyond my waist at this point, so I have plenty of room to practice.
My big sister is licensed cosmetologist/hair stylist. She has cut my fine mousy brown/wavy/curly hair since I was about 10 years old. Now I'm 48 and dang it if my sis up and moved to another state. NO! So I watched this video a few times and tried the KP-DIY cut method the first time Summer of 2018. I was so nervous. But I loved how it turned out. So I have used this method about every 2-3 months. It's time for my Winter cut and I don't get nervous anymore. However I had to figure out where I'd put the special pair of hair scissors after my last haircut! I love how I can do this cut myself and have not felt afraid I'd mess it up (not since trying it out for the very first time). I am always super eager to re-wash and style it after the cut, since it always reawakens my lazy curls. My supercritical big sister checked my work after the 2nd cut and totally approved, telling me I was doing fine with these cuts and that it looks nice. (She'd rather I cut my hair regularly even if I DIY it--than to just get in a funk because I don't trust others with my locks.) Yay, I don't have to let my hair grow wildly long and start to look ratty in her absence, nor do I have to shell out $$ to experiment with results from other hair stylists. And also, I love your cat Monkey!
Awwwwww. This comment makes me all sorts of happy!!! I'm so glad the cut works so well for you too! Yay!!! Thank you soooooo much for sharing all of this. You're amazing. ❤️
Did this today !!!! Wow OMG my daughter loves it !!! It had loads of layers it looked beautiful! The best haircut I’ve seen she’s absolutely chuffed with it and it was free even better !!!! Thank you so much !!!!!! X
I know this video is over a year old, but thank you! I did this last night, and my hair came out better than when I go to the salon. I have thick, curly hair that I straighten often, and this worked so well. :)
I read some of the other comments here and I have to agree that whenever I go to a parlor, they don’t hear me and cut whatever they want to cut. Short, long, uneven, whatever. This time I did it on my own and had it checked by the hubby and it turned out quite alright. I live in Norway and services like this can be quite expensive so I saved around 50usd (just an ordinary cut, no wash or tip). Thank you! ❤️
I have to try this.It doesn't matter where I get my hair cut,no one seems to understand what I'm telling them I want.Or they just ignore me and do what they want. It ends up too short,but they also don't want to do bangs which I can easily do for myself. I'm going to try this. No sense spending a fortune to get something I don't want to begin with.
I just told my husband...seems like hairdressers "act" like they listen to how you want them to cut your hair, but I believe MOST of them know 2 cuts...one for guys and one for girls. Doesn't matter what you tell them - they're gonna do what they know how! I stopped going about 4 years ago....love my longer hair but it needs a trim and a shape so bad now! I'm going to try this - couldn't hurt!
Yeah, most hairdressers don't have ANY idea how to cut curly hair. I haven't had my hair "professionally" cut in years. I usually do a part down the middle, braid each side, and then trim the ends so they're even. Boom, done. Once or twice a year is plenty, since I've been doing curly girl for over ten years at this point. I might give this a try next time, though.
I just did this. It worked like a charm. I too, have curly hair. It has gotten thinner over time. It looks thick, but really isn't. Anyways. I have tried other methods. You know, parts on either side, tie off, cut straight accross. It never ended up looking nice. This method, however, really worked nicely. A lovely "v" at the back...healthier looking curls. The feathering after is a great tip...it makes the cut much less blunt. Anyways, thank you for posting. Cheers all the way from B.C. Canada....eh? 🍾🙂
I saw the video yesterday and took all my courage and did it today 😅 and I am more than happy 😍😍😍 I love the result. The layers are awesome and waves bounce to curls... Thank you for this video... And saving my money 👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻😁
I've been doing this for about three yrs (also have curly/ wavy hair) and it's by FAR the best haircut I've ever had! Hairdressers always cut either too much or my layers came out chunky (ugh) or I'd wind up with 3 hairs at the longest parts. With this, literally the best layers I've ever had! I had to do it for $$ reasons but now I do it because it's waaay nicer!
I have wavy/curly hair and did this bc right before we got in quarantine I got my hair bleached so it was starting to look like a mess. Super dry and tangled even with my regular hair treatment. This tutorial was fabulous, thank you so much. Just as a tip to all girls, I initially cut it with vertical "strokes" not horizontal, looks more natural. Thanks again.
I did this last night and I’m so pleased with the results! I grew my hair our to all one length and this layered it so slightly,it looked nice. I haven’t had layers in years! It was nice to find a video from someone who has hair just like mine. I’m dying to know how to do not use shampoo.
I never brush my hair so I only have the brush my boyfriend uses. haha I should DEFINITELY get a wide toothed comb for this though. It would be totally worth it.
Just wanted to let you know I used this method to cut my ends (which were sooooooo split and awful) and it worked perfectly! My hair and I thank you 🙏😊
Just did this as can't go to the hairdressers Because we're all isolated.. Brilliant idea.. Worked out well and I'm very happy 😊 may save money by doing this all the time.. Ty so much for posting xxx
I saw another video and did this method. It works perfectly. I like how your video also gave instructions on additional layers. I’m going to go back and add layers. Great video! You have a wonderful personality😀
I just want to give u a hug!! I’ve been watching how to’s all week and haven’t had the courage to cut it myself since my hair is down my waist! I finally did it right now after watching ur video! Although I only cut 2inches 😂 I completely love it and happy I won’t be taking a salon trip anytime soon! Thanks so much 💖
Love this!!! I have thin, curly, really long hair, i really need a haircut and don't have the time and money to go to a salon, so i'm gonna try this myself
It was for real, i cut just a little bit, and wasnt still happy with it so i did it once again and cut alot, my hair was really long tho, i'm so happy with the results, my curls are bouncy and voluminous
With my curls, I use a pick before I use a comb. The only time I brush my hair is when it is dry and only after I use a pick first. A wide tooth comb helps, but a pick is much better and prevents breakage.
Hey, I have tried this on my hair maybe a week ago. I did in 2 parts: First my whole hair then my pile, I love it! It looks way better when I did it myself instead of going to a hair salong, because when they did it, it was more like a sqare/U shape and not so much a V shape, witch wasen´t very flattering + it costs alot of money. No more hair salongs for me, I am gonna do it myself everytime I need to cut my hair. Thanks for the help, your hair looks so beautiful! :). And if you are not on the CG method, I could highly recommend that! The hair dosen´t get that damaged anymore and you can grow longer hair without the extra split ends. It has helped for me! :)
I did it!! And cannot say thank you enough! Was feeling like I needed a change today when I got home from work...bam! It was much easier than what I normally do!
I love your video and Monkey is adorable!! Quick question, if I don’t want my end result to be v-shaped, can you tell me how to get a straighter bottom result (which I will also texturize)? As a point of information, my hair is really straight. Thanks, Mary
Kristen Emily omg we're instant friends & hair twins lol...now I just need to find your hair care video!! I've been trying to find something that works forever with no luck. Is your hair as soft as it looks?? It's Beautiful!
Your hair is so beautiful!! Mine is literally straight and will not hold any curl at all. It is very fine and not alot of it. I would give anything to have hair like you. Thank you for the hair cutting lesson. I have done it before but am going to cut it a bit shorter. Thank you!!
Just cut my hair doing this technique and it was so easy and looks so much better than any hairdresser has done...my hair isn't curly thow Thank you from England 🇬🇧❣️
Thank you Kristen! This is the haircut I need to try. My hair is naturally curly and long, and its been butchered by hairdressers so many times, so I'm too scared to go back. Even though I will be nervous, I'll give this a try, even if just an inch off at a time. Love your video, and I brush my hair like you haha! Thanks again and God bless.
When you trim more often it creates a smooth shaft so the natural oil in your hair can go down to the end (of the hair) when you brush it. If the shaft is split at the end the oil does not go to the end and the hair breaks off eventually at the split end point. Also, where your hair hits your shoulders (top) it also breaks off more often, particularly if the oil does not travel down to the end of the shaft. So, trimming your hair more often makes it stay on your head longer and it makes it look thicker. If you use conditioner and then use a strong or high pressure shower head you can negate using the conditioner. This washes out what it should plus what should stay in your hair. It causes the hair to be dry and break off earlier than it would otherwise. Some say “my hair doesn’t grow,” but what they should be saying is my hair does not stay on my head long. Btw, hair does grow in spurts. Another thing is if one wants long and thicker hair, always comb it out in increments from the bottom up. There is nothing worse than going to a beauty shop and the girl puts a comb in at the top of your head and starts “ripping” down. Even if there is conditioner in your hair it should not be weakened, stretched or broken off from improper combing every time your wash it. Another thing; some oils penetrate the shaft/follicle and others don’t. Argon oil (spell?) does, coconut oil not so much. Coconut sits on top of the hair shaft. And try to avoid oils/conditioners, hair treatments that have alcohol or non natural, as the first 3-5 ingredients. And finally, if your hair cannot stop being too dry even with treatments, stay in or otherwise, brush it the 100 strokes they taught girls and women for centuries. It carries natural oils to the end of your hair. If you do that you may not even have to trim it at all. Hope that helps.
Also after reading some of the comments, the wide tooth comb didn’t work for my super fine hair, it left so many strands up in there so I whipped out the brush to get them all smooth.
Oh my gosh thank you so much I basically have the same type of hair as you and it tried this method and worked out perfect. Ended up cutting about 4” and it looks and feels fantastic! Thank you again!!!!!
My quarantine haircut looks good! Thanks! My only problem is that I have a LOT of hair, so I couldn't just simply snip across. I practically had to saw the pony tail.
With thick hair it may be best to do pony's in sections to get the layered effect but also a straight cut it is best to use the scissers that are ATLEAST SOLD AS GAIR CUTTING SCISSORS... THERE ABOUT 10 BUX BUT SO MUCH BETTER ESP TO GET THREW UR THICK HAIR ALSO MAKE SURE ITS Wet !! But also remember wet hair drys shorter after cut !!! Good luck everyone!! I'm totally doing this cut and I have slightly wavy hair wish I had those curls !! I just have to be xtra careful to put in the up cuts and also using my thinning shears to make everything look even as I can : ))
I do similar, but with my hair dry, and right before my shower. I use my husband's hair trimmer, and make a straight line. It cuts layers, always looks good, and takes like 5 minutes. I've done it like (literally) 15 times, and it's never came out bad.
Ok, so I just did this and it works great. So my only tip is ass follows. Doing it this way cuts the front shorter than the back. So if you have the frontal length you want. Separate the bangs and front from the back and then do that again to cut only the back to get the length you want for the back. And as always, use sharp scissors. I love how my hair ended up and it took me less than 10 mins. Yes I was very nervous about doing it.
Yes it's great. My hair feels so healthy and the fact that I was able to do it myself just made me feel great. I will be doing this from now on. Thank you for the video.
Worked perfect and I have a lots of Hair but more waves..I was perplex how good it turned out ..I’m going to keep doing that from now on ! thank you for video!
Oh man - we did this in college back in the '70's to create the "shag" hairstyle. The only real difference was we put the ponytail on top of our heads in the middle then cut straight across and came out with the perfect shag.
My hairdresser mom showed my sister and I the shag cut years and years ago because we are long haired girls (I've just reached knee length) and refuse to pay 60 a cut/don't trust any other stylist to do it other than ourselves. I have super curly hair, my sister has straight hair, and looks great on us both, the cut is so damn universal and awesome I can't imagine having my hair cut any other way ever! I've never directed the hair so far forward like people are doing nowadays in the video, as the angle created is a bit steep for my taste, but I'm glad more people are embracing the DIY beauty movement!
I av watched so many vids and yours is amazing, I tried it once my hair was brilliant. Yet again iam back to yours and my hair turned out fantastic love you xx
"I just out out a candle with my hair" 🤣🤣🤣 I just wanted to respond to all of the comments about brushing out your hair and give you a tip: For keeping the ends of your hair healthy and helping prevent breakage, while you have conditioner in your hair in the shower, use a vented shower brush (starting at the ends.) This sort of helps distribute the conditioner but also detangles it while it has some lubrication. You can also use a wide-toothed comb. Both can be found a Dollar Tree! 🌲
excellent ty! can't believe how well that turned out and so easy! wish I knew this years ago! so many times hairdressers' don't listen to get the look I want, this is the best!
You are amazing, good idea, My state NJ is in quarantine and even after they open I am not going to a hair salon. Not planning on socializing for a while. Soooo this is it. Thank you for this video.
Hi I got butchered yesterday and really depressed my hair haven’t been this short since like 10 years old going to take like 5 years to grow back. Currently taking vitamins everyday to try to help the process . Thanks for this I’m not going to hair dresser again
Very nice thank you. And I just want to say that thin hair that looks thick is the best! It's not heavy or hot like true thick hair. Mine has thinned as I age and is wavy enough to look full, I feel blessed by that! :-)
I think I'll try this method next time my hair needs cut. Looks easy. My hair is straight and I usually wear it up anyway. SO if I booboo, no one would know anyway. Thanks for the tutorial.
Thank you for the video! I'm about to do my first unicorn cut because I don't have Deva Cut money and this was very helpful. I'm feeling a bit more confident about it now. I'm also about to check out the method you've linked to in some of the comments- my hair/scalp can't handle any product so I'd love to go product free. You have gorgeous curls!
Quarantined and no salons open. Predicted to go on another month or more. Going to try this. It gets to the point where I cant stand it one more day and that was just about the beginning of March!
TY for this! I finally got up the nerve to cut my hair and your video was very helpful! My "corn teen" hair is at least 3 inches shorter and much better now!
Worked! I added several layers too-my hair was severely over processed. I haven't been back to the salon since. The ends are cleaned up and now I can maintain this look as needed. Thanks. Excellent tutorial. Sub'd.
I did this as per your demo. Love it! Thank you!!! You may want to loose the brush and get yourself a hair pic or wide toothed comb. You are beautiful and your curls are magnificent. I had a hard time watching that brush ripping through your hair. Again, thank you for your demo.
I know it's SO bad. Don't worry, you're not the only one. It bothers HELLA people lol. I'm glad you liked the vid though and I'm glad it turned out well for you!!! That's so awesome!!! xoxox
Thank you so much for sharing this. You have no idea how happy I am after I finally cut my hair today (we are still in quarantine here). Thank you from the bottom of my 💓
Love your personality and the finished product. What appeals to me about this video, is that you made it simple. Give me simplicity all day long. I don't know if you're still making videos, but thanks for the video; super helpful. P.S. Both you and you cat have beautiful eyes. If I had to vote, it would be a close one.

Yo, I used to be Pentecostal, so I know some shit about keeping your hair healthy af and I would def recommend a wooden comb. Brushes are super harsh on wet hair (and just kinda harsh in general) and a wide tooth comb is really the most gentle on wet hair. I use a comb made of sandalwood and it reduces static and makes my hair smell amazing. It just hurts me anytime I see people brushing their wet hair.
+Victoria Hargrove Good to know! I NEVER EVER brush my hair. Only if I'm cutting it. I'll def get a wooden brush or wide-toothed comb though! Thanks for the tip!! ❤️
Was just going to say something similar... wide tooth combs are THE best, especially for curly hair, I brush about 4 times a month. HA! Thanks for doing this video.. I've been tempted to cut my own hair, this gives me some visuals for confidence. xoxo
@@markabconfed Pentecostals don't cut their hair whatsoever. Not even trim. So you learn how to protect it in every way possible in order to keep it healthy.
Cutting my hair like this wasn't the best thing I have ever done to it, but I was desperate for a trim before an event last week and felt that anything was going to be better than how my hair felt then. The ends of my hair afterwards felt kinda rough, but after a treatment and some texturising product it has all settled nicely. It's not going to give a perfect cut, but it's good enough when you just need a bit off. I also trimmed the length by parting my hair in the middle, tying a ponytail under my chin and cutting. My hair isn't curly, but it has a slight wave so it looks ok to me. I did end up removing about 6 inches instead of the one that I initially planned, but it's OK... it's just hair. It grows back :)
Oh my your video cracked me up and I'm gonna try this tonight which is weird because this is the second one I've seen tonight on this technique. Thank you for the cut and your super entertaining:)
I did this once but I twisted the ends and got the same result. Even with my cut being a little messy and cutting more than I wanted to. Once I showered and let my hair down it looked nicely layered and short and I loved it.
Your hair is beautiful..!! I have natural curly hair but it's not as curly as yours and mine is so.....thick . I am so scared to cut it . I wish mine would turn out like that . I have to put moose in mine to get it to curl more . It has more wave than curl . I do straighten mine too . It takes a long time , but I wear it up more now than I ever have . It's so hard to find someone to cut my hair . I wish I could take it off and then cut it . LOL...! But of course I can't do that . I have so much hair it wears me out to fix it . I might get up the courage to cut mine . If I do , I'll let you know how it turns out . Thanks for sharing your video .
You are my curly hair twin, except my hair is dark brown. I too have used shampoo five times in seven years and have cut my hair since I was a teenager since I had been traumatized several times by professionals who all knew "how to cut curly hair." I might try the coconut oil conditioning; I have done warm olive oil and mayonnaise in the past.
I'm so glad I found this. My hair needs cutting and I've been trying to find a good quick way to DIY. Thanks for posting this video. It's 3 years old but soooo relevant right now :)
I was super nervous that I was going to hack my hair but it turned out so well that I cut my daughter’s when I was done cutting mine. Thank you for helping me!
Yasss! That’s the cut that I want. Thanks for sharing with us. You’re saving us from disappointment and unnecessary spending on an unflattering hair cut for our curls.
Kristen Emily It's from Lorraine Massey's books of the same name. The main part of it is not using shampoo to wash your hair but a conditioner without silicone. But there's more, like how to handle and style it so you can have nicely clumped and shiny curls. Just do a search and you'll find lots of info about it. 😉
Kristen Emily I have wavy, long hair & need a cut.. more a trim. But not this. I don’t want layers. So this isn’t what I want. Good luck.. not what I’m looking 4. G4u.. not what I want.
Thank you so much for this! I've been using the same stylist for like 9 years and I moved away from home and paid 70 dollars for a haircut where I now live and she destroyed my hair! And it was so sad because she had curly hair so shes like no worries I know what to do and it was way worse when I left than when I came in. I've been googling for a while and youtubing for a while and never found one that looked easy and safe. But I think I'll try this one! My only question would be the part. I cant really tell where you part your hair but I do mine like above my left eyebrow and I'm afraid if I use this method then part like normal one side will be longer than the other. Any opinions? I love all the people giving their input on how you took care of your hair at the beginning. Y'ALL THIS IS ABOUT CUTTING HAIR not the coconut oil mask and how she takes care of it!

Ladybug, Please let us know how it turned out for you. Thanks!
I never knew that us women with curly hair could actually cut it ourselves so easily! Thanks!!!
Right?! I absolutely LOVE how easy it is! :)
we women
Kristen, I love the results you got, but a tip. If you don't want the ends broken, don't brush it like that. Start at the ends, and go up gently. Especially when it is wet.
Thanks! ❤
It's been a year since I had haircut. I followed this and my hair turned out great. The softeness is back. I may never visit a salon again. I've never had good luck with stylists. They never seem to know how to cut curly/wavy hair.
People in the comments be saying "use a wide tooth comb!" and I can agree that's a good idea, but only for initial detangle. She wanted to make sure to get the hair very straight and smooth together in a ponytail, and you do that with a BRUSH.
THANK YOU!!! :)
I do it with a wide tooth comb. It works. And I cut it dry.
This seems like a good quarantine descion
Agreed!
Exactly what I was thinking lol
I did it , turned out good so far . Next is layers lol
@@briannahernandez7658 Yay!!!
Just finished my quarantine cut... turned out fine! I decided to go slow, cut off just a little bit, then I’ll go back in a couple days when my hair settles and clean it up, cut more layers, etc. My hair is just about exactly the same as Kristen’s
omg i just did this and it is by far the best hair cut i’ve had in a loooong time + it saved me a lot of money. if you’re doubting, do it!!!
Yay I’m so glad you love it!
I tried this yesterday and it worked great! I was looking to trim my dead ends and clean up my layers and this did the trick. I have long, wavy hair and i'm very happy with how it turned out.
You just saved my head! I’ve been snipping away for weeks now and it was just getting shorter and shorter and looking worse than ever. I followed your directions to a T and am so happy with the results :) . Thank you for explaining how to do layers too. Going to try that next
Yayyyyy! I'm soooo happy you love it too! ❤️

I've just done this. This is so easy, I can't believe I've spend money for having people do it way worse than I could have done myself. Thank you so so much for sharing and explaining, you're amazing!
Yayyyyy! I'm so so soooo happy it worked for you! ❤️
THANK you! I'm an old woman and have never managed to find a hair-cutter who ever did anything to my hair that I actually liked. I especially like the fact that you included additional layers. My hair is down beyond my waist at this point, so I have plenty of room to practice.
Yay!! Perfect!!! :)
Just tried this on the spur of the moment and it works! Just cut off all my straggly ends! Must have saved £40 on a haircut.
Yay!!! That’s awesome!!
My big sister is licensed cosmetologist/hair stylist. She has cut my fine mousy brown/wavy/curly hair since I was about 10 years old. Now I'm 48 and dang it if my sis up and moved to another state. NO! So I watched this video a few times and tried the KP-DIY cut method the first time Summer of 2018. I was so nervous. But I loved how it turned out. So I have used this method about every 2-3 months. It's time for my Winter cut and I don't get nervous anymore. However I had to figure out where I'd put the special pair of hair scissors after my last haircut! I love how I can do this cut myself and have not felt afraid I'd mess it up (not since trying it out for the very first time). I am always super eager to re-wash and style it after the cut, since it always reawakens my lazy curls. My supercritical big sister checked my work after the 2nd cut and totally approved, telling me I was doing fine with these cuts and that it looks nice. (She'd rather I cut my hair regularly even if I DIY it--than to just get in a funk because I don't trust others with my locks.) Yay, I don't have to let my hair grow wildly long and start to look ratty in her absence, nor do I have to shell out $$ to experiment with results from other hair stylists. And also, I love your cat Monkey!
Awwwwww. This comment makes me all sorts of happy!!! I'm so glad the cut works so well for you too! Yay!!! Thank you soooooo much for sharing all of this. You're amazing. ❤️
Natural curly hair ..if you cut one inch it's gonna add up to 4 inches when it dries
Yep!
Well that depends on your curl type
So true! It totally just depends!
What are you saying?
Cut 1 inch to ADD 4 of length
Or
Cut 1 inch to make it look like you cut 4 inch? Thanks
@@KristenPound Yep, but seems like there's not hairdresser alive that knows this fact
Did this today !!!! Wow OMG my daughter loves it !!! It had loads of layers it looked beautiful! The best haircut I’ve seen she’s absolutely chuffed with it and it was free even better !!!! Thank you so much !!!!!! X
Yayyyy! I'm so glad!!! xoxox
Thank you love from uk ❤️
I know this video is over a year old, but thank you! I did this last night, and my hair came out better than when I go to the salon. I have thick, curly hair that I straighten often, and this worked so well. :)
Yayyyy! I'm so happy to hear this!!! :)
I read some of the other comments here and I have to agree that whenever I go to a parlor, they don’t hear me and cut whatever they want to cut. Short, long, uneven, whatever. This time I did it on my own and had it checked by the hubby and it turned out quite alright. I live in Norway and services like this can be quite expensive so I saved around 50usd (just an ordinary cut, no wash or tip). Thank you! ❤️
Yay!!! I'm so happy it worked for you and that you like it! 😊❤️
I have to try this.It doesn't matter where I get my hair cut,no one seems to understand what I'm telling them I want.Or they just ignore me and do what they want. It ends up too short,but they also don't want to do bangs which I can easily do for myself. I'm going to try this. No sense spending a fortune to get something I don't want to begin with.
I felt the exact same way. Let me know how it turns out! ❤️
I just told my husband...seems like hairdressers "act" like they listen to how you want them to cut your hair, but I believe MOST of them know 2 cuts...one for guys and one for girls. Doesn't matter what you tell them - they're gonna do what they know how! I stopped going about 4 years ago....love my longer hair but it needs a trim and a shape so bad now! I'm going to try this - couldn't hurt!
It's SO true! Let me know how it goes for you! ❤️
Yeah, most hairdressers don't have ANY idea how to cut curly hair. I haven't had my hair "professionally" cut in years. I usually do a part down the middle, braid each side, and then trim the ends so they're even. Boom, done. Once or twice a year is plenty, since I've been doing curly girl for over ten years at this point.
I might give this a try next time, though.
Sue Kowatch so true....they just cut everyone's hair the same! I will try this method myself today.
I just did this. It worked like a charm. I too, have curly hair. It has gotten thinner over time. It looks thick, but really isn't.
Anyways. I have tried other methods. You know, parts on either side, tie off, cut straight accross. It never ended up looking nice.
This method, however, really worked nicely. A lovely "v" at the back...healthier looking curls. The feathering after is a great tip...it makes the cut much less blunt.
Anyways, thank you for posting. Cheers all the way from B.C. Canada....eh? 🍾🙂
I saw the video yesterday and took all my courage and did it today 😅 and I am more than happy 😍😍😍 I love the result. The layers are awesome and waves bounce to curls... Thank you for this video... And saving my money 👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻😁
Yayyyyy!!! I'm SO SO SOOOO happy to hear this!!! 😍
Does it really works ....??? I m a little bit confused.....plz help replying me...
I've been doing this for about three yrs (also have curly/ wavy hair) and it's by FAR the best haircut I've ever had! Hairdressers always cut either too much or my layers came out chunky (ugh) or I'd wind up with 3 hairs at the longest parts. With this, literally the best layers I've ever had! I had to do it for $$ reasons but now I do it because it's waaay nicer!
Agreed!
Hi Christen, I tried this on mine and my daughters hair today and it worked a treat! Thank you so much for showing us the way !
Yayyy! I'm so happy it worked for you both! 😊
I have wavy/curly hair and did this bc right before we got in quarantine I got my hair bleached so it was starting to look like a mess. Super dry and tangled even with my regular hair treatment. This tutorial was fabulous, thank you so much. Just as a tip to all girls, I initially cut it with vertical "strokes" not horizontal, looks more natural. Thanks again.
Yay! So glad you like the cut you got. 😊
I did this last night and I’m so pleased with the results! I grew my hair our to all one length and this layered it so slightly,it looked nice. I haven’t had layers in years! It was nice to find a video from someone who has hair just like mine. I’m dying to know how to do not use shampoo.
Yay!!! I'm so happy it turned out well!! I'm definitely going to film a haircare video soon!!!
Forget the brush, use a wide toothed comb, it'll break less hair.
I never brush my hair so I only have the brush my boyfriend uses. haha I should DEFINITELY get a wide toothed comb for this though. It would be totally worth it.
RIGHT... and a little really good leave in conditioner for the tangles
I agree! That kind of brush is awful for her hair!
Curly girls should never use a brush. Rule #1.
Yeah I was cringing all the time while she was brushing her hair with a vengeance.
Just wanted to let you know I used this method to cut my ends (which were sooooooo split and awful) and it worked perfectly! My hair and I thank you 🙏😊
Awesome! You're so welcome! ❤️
Just did this as can't go to the hairdressers Because we're all isolated.. Brilliant idea.. Worked out well and I'm very happy 😊 may save money by doing this all the time.. Ty so much for posting xxx
Yayyy! So happy! ❤️
@@KristenPound I'm so happy ty so much x
I saw another video and did this method. It works perfectly. I like how your video also gave instructions on additional layers. I’m going to go back and add layers. Great video! You have a wonderful personality😀
Aww thanks!!! :) I'm so so glad you enjoyed the vid!!
Just did it myself...right now!! Thank you very much! Never been more happy with my curly hair 😊
Yay!!! I'm so so soooo happy to hear that! 😃
I just want to give u a hug!! I’ve been watching how to’s all week and haven’t had the courage to cut it myself since my hair is down my waist! I finally did it right now after watching ur video! Although I only cut 2inches 😂 I completely love it and happy I won’t be taking a salon trip anytime soon! Thanks so much 💖
Yay!!! I love this!!! ❤️
Seriously... you have no idea how much I love you for making this video and I am going to do this tomorrow!!! Woooot!!!
Yayy! I hope it turned out well.
Love this!!! I have thin, curly, really long hair, i really need a haircut and don't have the time and money to go to a salon, so i'm gonna try this myself
Oooo! It sounds like it'll be perfect for you then! Good luck!!! ❤️
It was for real, i cut just a little bit, and wasnt still happy with it so i did it once again and cut alot, my hair was really long tho, i'm so happy with the results, my curls are bouncy and voluminous
@@MapatUresti06 Yay!!! :)
Super easy cut & super down to earth video. Really like her simplicity and personality. Thanks alot.
I love it too! I can't wait to do this at home! I'm sick and tired of paying money & not getting results that I like!!!!! The struggle is real!!
Yessss! It's SO nice to just be able to do it yourself at home! I've saved SO much money! :)
With my curls, I use a pick before I use a comb. The only time I brush my hair is when it is dry and only after I use a pick first. A wide tooth comb helps, but a pick is much better and prevents breakage.
I definitely need to get a pick then! Thanks! ❤️
3:20 - the haircutting begins

Hey, I have tried this on my hair maybe a week ago. I did in 2 parts: First my whole hair then my pile, I love it! It looks way better when I did it myself instead of going to a hair salong, because when they did it, it was more like a sqare/U shape and not so much a V shape, witch wasen´t very flattering + it costs alot of money. No more hair salongs for me, I am gonna do it myself everytime I need to cut my hair. Thanks for the help, your hair looks so beautiful! :). And if you are not on the CG method, I could highly recommend that! The hair dosen´t get that damaged anymore and you can grow longer hair without the extra split ends. It has helped for me! :)
I did it!! And cannot say thank you enough! Was feeling like I needed a change today when I got home from work...bam! It was much easier than what I normally do!
I love your video and Monkey is adorable!! Quick question, if I don’t want my end result to be v-shaped, can you tell me how to get a straighter bottom result (which I will also texturize)? As a point of information, my hair is really straight. Thanks, Mary
Kristen Emily omg we're instant friends & hair twins lol...now I just need to find your hair care video!! I've been trying to find something that works forever with no luck. Is your hair as soft as it looks?? It's Beautiful!
I honestly have no idea hehe! But I'm sure you could find it somewhere on UA-cam! Good luck!!! ❤️
Your hair is so beautiful!! Mine is literally straight and will not hold any curl at all. It is very fine and not alot of it. I would give anything to have hair like you. Thank you for the hair cutting lesson. I have done it before but am going to cut it a bit shorter. Thank you!!
Awww thanks! And best of luck! ❤️
Just cut my hair doing this technique and it was so easy and looks so much better than any hairdresser has done...my hair isn't curly thow Thank you from England 🇬🇧❣️
Yayyy! This makes me so happy to hear! Thanks for sharing your experience!! ❤️
I have wavy/frizzy hair and style it with a blow dryer and/or curling iron. I used her method and my hair turned out great. Thank you!
This is how I’ve been cutting my hair and I love the results always!
Yay!! I love hearing that! :)
Thank you Kristen! This is the haircut I need to try. My hair is naturally curly and long, and its been butchered by hairdressers so many times, so I'm too scared to go back. Even though I will be nervous, I'll give this a try, even if just an inch off at a time. Love your video, and I brush my hair like you haha! Thanks again and God bless.
Yayyy! Best of luck!!!
When you trim more often it creates a smooth shaft so the natural oil in your hair can go down to the end (of the hair) when you brush it. If the shaft is split at the end the oil does not go to the end and the hair breaks off eventually at the split end point.
Also, where your hair hits your shoulders (top) it also breaks off more often, particularly if the oil does not travel down to the end of the shaft.
So, trimming your hair more often makes it stay on your head longer and it makes it look thicker.
If you use conditioner and then use a strong or high pressure shower head you can negate using the conditioner. This washes out what it should plus what should stay in your hair. It causes the hair to be dry and break off earlier than it would otherwise. Some say “my hair doesn’t grow,” but what they should be saying is my hair does not stay on my head long. Btw, hair does grow in spurts.
Another thing is if one wants long and thicker hair, always comb it out in increments from the bottom up.
There is nothing worse than going to a beauty shop and the girl puts a comb in at the top of your head and starts “ripping” down. Even if there is conditioner in your hair it should not be weakened, stretched or broken off from improper combing every time your wash it.
Another thing; some oils penetrate the shaft/follicle and others don’t. Argon oil (spell?) does, coconut oil not so much. Coconut sits on top of the hair shaft. And try to avoid oils/conditioners, hair treatments that have alcohol or non natural, as the first 3-5 ingredients.
And finally, if your hair cannot stop being too dry even with treatments, stay in or otherwise, brush it the 100 strokes they taught girls and women for centuries. It carries natural oils to the end of your hair. If you do that you may not even have to trim it at all.
Hope that helps.
That helps SO much!!! Thank you!!! ❤️
Also after reading some of the comments, the wide tooth comb didn’t work for my super fine hair, it left so many strands up in there so I whipped out the brush to get them all smooth.
I kind of have a feeling that this is exactly what wide toothed combs do to my hair! I totally remember hating them as a little kid!
Oh my gosh thank you so much I basically have the same type of hair as you and it tried this method and worked out perfect. Ended up cutting about 4” and it looks and feels fantastic! Thank you again!!!!!
Yayyy! This makes me so happy to hear! Woo hoo! I'm so glad you love it. 😊❤️
I’m definitely gonna try this. I have straight hair and the ends are super dry/fried - been ages since I had it cut. Can’t wait.
Yay! I hope you love it. :)
My quarantine haircut looks good! Thanks! My only problem is that I have a LOT of hair, so I couldn't just simply snip across. I practically had to saw the pony tail.
haha i bet
With thick hair it may be best to do pony's in sections to get the layered effect but also a straight cut it is best to use the scissers that are ATLEAST SOLD AS GAIR CUTTING SCISSORS... THERE ABOUT 10 BUX BUT SO MUCH BETTER ESP TO GET THREW UR THICK HAIR ALSO MAKE SURE ITS Wet !! But also remember wet hair drys shorter after cut !!! Good luck everyone!! I'm totally doing this cut and I have slightly wavy hair wish I had those curls !! I just have to be xtra careful to put in the up cuts and also using my thinning shears to make everything look even as I can : ))
I do similar, but with my hair dry, and right before my shower. I use my husband's hair trimmer, and make a straight line. It cuts layers, always looks good, and takes like 5 minutes. I've done it like (literally) 15 times, and it's never came out bad.
Nice!!! I love DIY haircuts! :)
Ok, so I just did this and it works great. So my only tip is ass follows.
Doing it this way cuts the front shorter than the back. So if you have the frontal length you want. Separate the bangs and front from the back and then do that again to cut only the back to get the length you want for the back. And as always, use sharp scissors. I love how my hair ended up and it took me less than 10 mins. Yes I was very nervous about doing it.
Oooo! That's great advice! And yay! I'm so happy it worked well for you! I just cut my hair again today! I love how quick it is! :)
Yes it's great. My hair feels so healthy and the fact that I was able to do it myself just made me feel great. I will be doing this from now on. Thank you for the video.
You're so welcome! ❤️
So when u cut your hair did u separate? Also did u cut wet or dry? Lol my hair is like pin straight an im sor worried but so need a cut
Worked perfect and I have a lots of Hair but more waves..I was perplex how good it turned out ..I’m going to keep doing that from now on ! thank you for video!
Yay! You're so welcome!
Oh man - we did this in college back in the '70's to create the "shag" hairstyle. The only real difference was we put the ponytail on top of our heads in the middle then cut straight across and came out with the perfect shag.
Haha yes! I love it!
I remember doing that also in the 70s 😀😀
That's what I did too, never thought to bring the hair so far to the front to cut it.
Debbie Waggoner I remember doing that! I loved the shag cut.
My hairdresser mom showed my sister and I the shag cut years and years ago because we are long haired girls (I've just reached knee length) and refuse to pay 60 a cut/don't trust any other stylist to do it other than ourselves. I have super curly hair, my sister has straight hair, and looks great on us both, the cut is so damn universal and awesome I can't imagine having my hair cut any other way ever! I've never directed the hair so far forward like people are doing nowadays in the video, as the angle created is a bit steep for my taste, but I'm glad more people are embracing the DIY beauty movement!
I av watched so many vids and yours is amazing, I tried it once my hair was brilliant. Yet again iam back to yours and my hair turned out fantastic love you xx
Sweet Jesus...alot of the breakage could be due to you ripping through it with a brush while it's wet. NEVER brush wet hair...especially if it's curly
Oh trust me. I never do! Only when I cut my hair. But yeah, no I know it’s bad haha
I should probs get a comb. 😋
As a curly girl... Most of us comb when wet, with conditioner. I’ve done that my entire life. It’s the only way my hair doesn’t poof.
Frankly my hair is super brittle when dry. Its gentler to brush it wet.
Same here!!!
OMG you are so lucky your hair looks like that dry without any products. So gorgeous! Love love love
I definitely feel SUPER lucky! ❤️
"I just out out a candle with my hair" 🤣🤣🤣 I just wanted to respond to all of the comments about brushing out your hair and give you a tip: For keeping the ends of your hair healthy and helping prevent breakage, while you have conditioner in your hair in the shower, use a vented shower brush (starting at the ends.) This sort of helps distribute the conditioner but also detangles it while it has some lubrication. You can also use a wide-toothed comb. Both can be found a Dollar Tree! 🌲
Yesss! I just bought a brush like that for the shower and I'm LOVING it!
excellent ty! can't believe how well that turned out and so easy! wish I knew this years ago! so many times hairdressers' don't listen to get the look I want, this is the best!
Yayyy! SO glad you like it. :)
For long curly hair ... try this... NEVER USE A BRUSH only a wide tooth comb!
I completely agree!
We (curly haired ppl) can use brushes. Just needs to be a wet brush, tangle teezer, or denman
I only brush mine right before I wash it and let me tell you it turns into the biggest frizziest afro EVER!
Wetbrush
I've always used a vent brush for myself. My horse has a horsey vent brush🐎too.
Thank you so much! My hair was in desperate need of a cut and I came across your video! I’ve never been so happy with a haircut lol
Yay!!! I love hearing this! :)
You are amazing, good idea, My state NJ is in quarantine and even after they open I am not going to a hair salon. Not planning on socializing for a while. Soooo this is it. Thank you for this video.
Yayyy! You're so welcome! ❤️
Hi I got butchered yesterday and really depressed my hair haven’t been this short since like 10 years old going to take like 5 years to grow back. Currently taking vitamins everyday to try to help the process . Thanks for this I’m not going to hair dresser again
Very nice thank you. And I just want to say that thin hair that looks thick is the best! It's not heavy or hot like true thick hair. Mine has thinned as I age and is wavy enough to look full, I feel blessed by that! :-)
good job, and your curly hair is GORGEOUS!!
Thanks! :)
I think I'll try this method next time my hair needs cut. Looks easy. My hair is straight and I usually wear it up anyway. SO if I booboo, no one would know anyway. Thanks for the tutorial.
It’s definitely worth a try! 😊
I have curly hair like yours. I'm so excited to try this. New day...new hair.😊 Thank you so much for sharing!!!!
You’re so welcome! And best of luck! ❤️
Thank you so much hon!😊
Thank you for the video! I'm about to do my first unicorn cut because I don't have Deva Cut money and this was very helpful. I'm feeling a bit more confident about it now. I'm also about to check out the method you've linked to in some of the comments- my hair/scalp can't handle any product so I'd love to go product free. You have gorgeous curls!
Yayyy! I hope you like it! Here's my hair care routine video if you want to check that out too! ❤️ ua-cam.com/video/iglGzl67GvE/v-deo.html
Quarantined and no salons open. Predicted to go on another month or more. Going to try this. It gets to the point where I cant stand it one more day and that was just about the beginning of March!
I hope it went well!
TY for this! I finally got up the nerve to cut my hair and your video was very helpful! My "corn teen" hair is at least 3 inches shorter and much better now!
Yayyy!
Your curls are amazing!
Awww thanks! ❤️
Worked! I added several layers too-my hair was severely over processed. I haven't been back to the salon since. The ends are cleaned up and now I can maintain this look as needed. Thanks. Excellent tutorial. Sub'd.
Yasssss! So glad it worked so well for you too!!! ❤️✨
Now I am less scared to try this, thank you lol
Love it!! Definitely going to try this. You dont use any product? Amazing! What conditioner/cowash do you use?
Yay! I hope you love it too! Here's my hair care video if you wanna check it out! 💛 ua-cam.com/video/iglGzl67GvE/v-deo.html
I did this as per your demo. Love it! Thank you!!! You may want to loose the brush and get yourself a hair pic or wide toothed comb. You are beautiful and your curls are magnificent. I had a hard time watching that brush ripping through your hair. Again, thank you for your demo.
I know it's SO bad. Don't worry, you're not the only one. It bothers HELLA people lol. I'm glad you liked the vid though and I'm glad it turned out well for you!!! That's so awesome!!! xoxox
Thank you so much for sharing this. You have no idea how happy I am after I finally cut my hair today (we are still in quarantine here). Thank you from the bottom of my 💓
You're so welcome! ❤️
Love your personality and the finished product. What appeals to me about this video, is that you made it simple. Give me simplicity all day long. I don't know if you're still making videos, but thanks for the video; super helpful. P.S. Both you and you cat have beautiful eyes. If I had to vote, it would be a close one.

U have beautiful hair!!! Love ur curls😍 and great job at cutting your hair! Looks healthier!
Yo, I used to be Pentecostal, so I know some shit about keeping your hair healthy af and I would def recommend a wooden comb. Brushes are super harsh on wet hair (and just kinda harsh in general) and a wide tooth comb is really the most gentle on wet hair. I use a comb made of sandalwood and it reduces static and makes my hair smell amazing. It just hurts me anytime I see people brushing their wet hair.
+Victoria Hargrove Good to know! I NEVER EVER brush my hair. Only if I'm cutting it. I'll def get a wooden brush or wide-toothed comb though! Thanks for the tip!! ❤️
Was just going to say something similar... wide tooth combs are THE best, especially for curly hair, I brush about 4 times a month. HA!
Thanks for doing this video.. I've been tempted to cut my own hair, this gives me some visuals for confidence. xoxo
+Whitney Lee I'll def get a wide toothed comb! Let me know if you cut your hairs! ❤️
What does being Pentecostal have to do with hair?
@@markabconfed Pentecostals don't cut their hair whatsoever. Not even trim. So you learn how to protect it in every way possible in order to keep it healthy.
Cutting my hair like this wasn't the best thing I have ever done to it, but I was desperate for a trim before an event last week and felt that anything was going to be better than how my hair felt then. The ends of my hair afterwards felt kinda rough, but after a treatment and some texturising product it has all settled nicely. It's not going to give a perfect cut, but it's good enough when you just need a bit off. I also trimmed the length by parting my hair in the middle, tying a ponytail under my chin and cutting. My hair isn't curly, but it has a slight wave so it looks ok to me. I did end up removing about 6 inches instead of the one that I initially planned, but it's OK... it's just hair. It grows back :)
So true! It's just hair! :)
Oh my your video cracked me up and I'm gonna try this tonight which is weird because this is the second one I've seen tonight on this technique. Thank you for the cut and your super entertaining:)
haha yayyyy! Thank you so much for leaving such a positive comment! ☺️ Good luck with the cut! ❤️
I did this once but I twisted the ends and got the same result. Even with my cut being a little messy and cutting more than I wanted to. Once I showered and let my hair down it looked nicely layered and short and I loved it.
Ooo. Twisting the ends is a good idea!
Your hair is beautiful..!! I have natural curly hair but it's not as curly as yours and mine is so.....thick . I am so scared to cut it . I wish mine would turn out like that . I have to put moose in mine to get it to curl more . It has more wave than curl . I do straighten mine too . It takes a long time , but I wear it up more now than I ever have . It's so hard to find someone to cut my hair . I wish I could take it off and then cut it . LOL...! But of course I can't do that . I have so much hair it wears me out to fix it . I might get up the courage to cut mine . If I do , I'll let you know how it turns out . Thanks for sharing your video .
It’s worth a try for sure! Just take a tiny bit off and go from there. Good luck love! ❤️
You are my curly hair twin, except my hair is dark brown. I too have used shampoo five times in seven years and have cut my hair since I was a teenager since I had been traumatized several times by professionals who all knew "how to cut curly hair." I might try the coconut oil conditioning; I have done warm olive oil and mayonnaise in the past.
❤️❤️❤️
I'm sooo envious of your hair .It's gorgeous.. My hair is long fine and straight,but I'm going to try your way of cutting it . Thanks for the vid 🎈
Oh yay! I hope you like the way it turns out! :)
I have naturally wavy and kinda curly hair and I have been cutting my hair like this for a while now. It always turns out so good.
Yay!!! I love this!!
oh my, wish I had curly hair - its beautiful! And cute kitty!
Awww thanks Sheila!!! ❤️
I did it! It worked really well. Even with my crappy scissors. Thanks
Yay!!!
Your hair looks so pretty and so much prettier after the cut!
Thank you so much!!! ❤️
Just did this to my hair. I took off 13 inches I have straight long hair. It came out great with layers.
Oh wow! Nice!!! ❤️
I think ur hair looks great and its just a perfect length. Great job ! Oh and i love the curls,looks like a spiral perm in it. Great great great.
Thank you so much!!! ❤️
I'm so glad I found this. My hair needs cutting and I've been trying to find a good quick way to DIY. Thanks for posting this video. It's 3 years old but soooo relevant right now :)
Wow, you have such gorgeous hair and it turned out beautifully. Love your kitty
Awww thank you!!! ❤️
I was super nervous that I was going to hack my hair but it turned out so well that I cut my daughter’s when I was done cutting mine. Thank you for helping me!
Yayyy! I'm so so sooo happy to hear this! :)
Yasss! That’s the cut that I want. Thanks for sharing with us. You’re saving us from disappointment and unnecessary spending on an unflattering hair cut for our curls.
Yay! I'm so glad you enjoyed the vid! :)
That came out beautiful . saved a lot of money too . being a hairstylist this so easy . thanks for sharing
Yay! I’m so happy to hear that.
Your hair would love the curly girl method 😍
Ooo what’s that?
Kristen Emily It's from Lorraine Massey's books of the same name. The main part of it is not using shampoo to wash your hair but a conditioner without silicone. But there's more, like how to handle and style it so you can have nicely clumped and shiny curls. Just do a search and you'll find lots of info about it. 😉
Ok awesome! I already do the no-poo method, so I'll check it out for sure!
Kristen Emily I have wavy, long hair & need a cut.. more a trim. But not this. I don’t want layers. So this isn’t what I want. Good luck.. not what I’m looking 4. G4u.. not what I want.
Zandra Jabir yes!!! She has to do the Curly Girl Method!!! I would love to see her transformation pic before & after
Thank you so much for this! I've been using the same stylist for like 9 years and I moved away from home and paid 70 dollars for a haircut where I now live and she destroyed my hair! And it was so sad because she had curly hair so shes like no worries I know what to do and it was way worse when I left than when I came in. I've been googling for a while and youtubing for a while and never found one that looked easy and safe. But I think I'll try this one! My only question would be the part. I cant really tell where you part your hair but I do mine like above my left eyebrow and I'm afraid if I use this method then part like normal one side will be longer than the other. Any opinions?
I love all the people giving their input on how you took care of your hair at the beginning. Y'ALL THIS IS ABOUT CUTTING HAIR not the coconut oil mask and how she takes care of it!
haha thank you!!! and as far as the part goes, I just part my hair on either side and it totally works for me. :)
i'm so glad i found this. we have the SAME type of hair!
Yayyyyy! 😍
@@KristenPound My hair is just like yours! Thanks for the how to video!
I've been cutting my hair like this for years and have saved a lot of money.
Yesss! I love it!
So easy! So beautiful! And yes, I agree with others, please get a wide tooth comb👍Thanks for this awesome how to!!!
I will for sure! Thanks! 😊
Hey Kristen, this is pretty awesome. I have hair down the middle of my back, can't wait to try it. 20 bucks for a trim?? I don't think so.
That's exactly how I feel about it. :)
