  • This is how I cut my hair at home. This gives my long layers that work perfect for my wavy hair. This is only something I do in a pinch. When Christian cuts my hair it is definitely a more polished haircut. But if scraggly ends are weighing you down this is something you can do at home!

    I've been cutting my hair since the first lockdown. I followed your advice and achieved my best ever cut. It has really helped boost my curls too.

    I cut my hair on NYE and followed the video you linked. I ordered the shears she linked from Amazon and while I was nervous, it turned out great. I mostly wanted layers, not necessarily to take off a lot of length. I haven't had a haircut in 18 months, only discovered I had wavy hair in May of 2020.
    When I tell you my waves have never looked so healthy, some are 2c and I'm normally a 2a/b wavy. I've gotten so many compliments on my hair and it just looks so much curlier and defined. I'm so glad I took the plunge.

    Thank you Courtney! This was my first self attempted haircut, and it might be the best I’ve ever had. I modified using what I had on hand (hair tie, banana clip, and my husband’s beard scissors) and it worked really well! I took off 6 inches and my waves are popping!

    I really appreciated the home hair cut video! With a 9 month old and the closest hair salon a 45 minute drive away it seems almost impossible to find time and child care coverage to get my hair cut !

    That’s similar to the technique my sister uses when she cuts my hair. Only difference is she does a dry cut and it’s usually pretty blunt. Maybe we can try this next time.

    This awesome!!! Last time I cut my hair I tried Brad Mondo’s tutorial. It was fine, except that I had to straighten my hair for it. 😕 I have a Crea Clip and have used it for ages to cut my own hair, but always used it on dry hair. This is so helpful! I’ll have to try this and check out other tips from Mell. Also, I think you’d be a great hair stylist! You already know so much about hair products and ingredients, and I don’t think there are nearing enough curly hair informed stylists.

    @desireeadrian5722 3 роки тому +5

    I like the suggestion of the leveled clip. I toyed with the idea over the years, but never bought one. With my cervical spine and shoulder issues... I think this might be a bit of a “life saver” to cut at home. I have tried the modified unicorn Mell did for her seester, Amanda. Looked nice, but I have about an 1/8th the amount of hair as Amanda. LOL! She looked stunning, of course. I tried the pigtails a few months later... not for my looser pattern (2a-2c and a few 3a in the very back under section).
    Your hair always looks so healthy. Tip for trimming with conditioner for slip is genius! So simple!🤗🌻

    GIRRRRL- that is amazing!!! I am gonna order that crea clip right now. I have thick hair & I've been cutting it myself for years. It's a pain in the rear & takes a long time because I have to section it out or my hair runs away from the scissors. Your conditioner slick is BRILLIANT & Mel is fantastic- for those who don't know MEL is a professional (manesbymel).
    THANK YOU for sharing this fantastic technique=) To me (I am not a professional) your cut looks well balanced & lays beautifully- it's far better than some professional haircuts I've had & not been happy with....

    I have those new curlsmith protein products. I know the one is called a FOAM not a mousse I screwed up the first time and shook it. Saw that was bad but now when I pump it I don’t get a mousse consistency I get sad white seafoam like at the beach. Is that right or is my pump bad? Cant wait for my hair to get long enough to cut it myself. Love you and manes by Mell!

    I have been scared to trim my own hair beyond a simple straight trim. I personally haven't even worn layers in over 15 years because I could never style it well and it just looked a hot mess. I've only just started the curly girl method for my wavy hair so I am in transition. (I get nice loose waves/curls for 2 hrs before they fall flat) when do you think getting a layering cut will be a good idea?

    This was so great! I feel like there's a lot of potential for me to experiment and refine my skills, but the first result was really good. My favorite DIY haircut I've done because I've never been able to add layers before. One snag was that I like to part my hair in the same place on the side, so in the second step where you point cut the ends only by hand, I slanted my hand to trim so the shorter section by my face could meet the long. Oh and I did forget my hair shrinks when it's dry, but luckily I did a long cut, so it should be good. Thanks for a great video explaining so simply! I'm a huge fan of your channel!! (Especially DIY/budget haircare)

  • @HSingMomto5Kids

    Do you not cut the shorter layers on top? That's what I'm trying to figure out since I have not had a hair cut in 1 1/2 yrs I think.
