I couldn't do it and so I showed my 15 year old autistic son and asked him to do it, and he nailed it! He's never ever cut hair before but I knew he'd be okay as he has such an eye for detail! I am super proud right now! My hair was half way down my back. I didn't ask him to do those final texturing bits because I wanted it more raw. Thanks so much for showing us this! 😍
I just wanted to say thank you! I just turned 50 today and welcomed it in with this fresh new cut! I have always had long wavy hair that I would always just throw up in a pony. This cut brought so much life to my hair and really picked up my curl! I'm pretty sure this is best haircut I've ever had, and I did it myself thanks to you! Unbelievable!
I don’t ever comment ever never, but I was brave and did this cut on my waist length hair, and it’s absolutely perfect. Long in all the right spots, looks professional, I’m shocked and happy and had to share
Wow.. now that actually works! Did hair for 15 years, now I stay home with two toddlers and don’t have time to get it cut by others. You just saved my thick hair an hour and a half of time each cut 😂 thank you so much. Wayyy quicker than sectioning a million times. Surprised it worked sooo flawlessly on my thick hair with minimum point cutting. Thank you so so much ❤
Last time I went to a stylist I asked for this haircut. I went in with mermaid hair and came out with The Karen. I was absolutely mortified. I'm now going to attempt to do this on myself, for free. Thanks for this video.
Can imagine what it will look like doing it yourself And what exactly is the KAREN? the very popular, timeless Bob, that always looks amazing if it's cut right
You saved my life! This was my haircut while I was in London. Back home (Brazil) for almost 2 years now, I’ve been in several hairdressers and they don’t know how to do this haircut properly. I tried myself today and looks good! Thank you soooooo much!
So grateful for this video. I did this today on my hair.. it was not easy to do on yourself but I managed. I razor cut the edges as well as some channel cutting. I am very happy with the results even though it does not look exactly like this. I went to my hairdresser for this cut but it was all flat in the back with no roundness or volume to give that bob look.
Thanks,I watched your video today. I put in the rubber bands in my hair. I made my husband cut my hair. It was the first time in my life I saw him scared. It cam out fairly well. Thank you!
Love this cut. I have to tell you me and my 5 year old granddaughter was watching this together and you pulled her head off I never heard a scream so loud right in my ear. She's fine and we had a great laugh ty
I did this to myself yesterday evening and I absolutely love it. So flattering and as I have naturally wavy hair it’s amazing, no styling needed. Air dried it looked amazing, just a little rose hip oil afterwards. Thank you ! I am autistic and a salon is a sensory nightmare for me 💇🏼♀️
I was a stylist for 7 years (and I've maintained a current license since 2006), this is such a great visual and descriptive explanation of not only an angled cut, but layers as well. Ensure that you do the point cutting at the end to blend and soften. Love this tutorial!
As a mom of 2 under 2 who doesn't have an active baby sitter you seriously saved my hair. I finally got it cut and colored two months ago and I ended up hating it but just assumed that I had to live in a pony tail until I could finally get it fixed, but this video definitely helped give it life again.
Thank you from the bottom of my heart! I am a DIY hairstylist with 20+ years of practice/trial and error. Great video, I just searched and found your tutorial and did exactly step by step. Easy and it came out WONDERFUL with little need to further trim or shape. Xoxo
I did it!! Love it!!! My hair was mid back this was a big chop. Worth it!!! Im a licensed cosmetologist and yes yes yes for those that say he has no idea what he is doing, this is an actual cosmotology trick using the bands. He definitely knows what he is doing! To get the legnth right it helps to tie a band where you want the legnth then you can pull the pony in eye sight and then cut.
Omg! I just went for it with my husband’s assistance, following your simple directions. It turned out PERFECT!!! So simple!!! Thank you for your great video!!!!
My husband helped me with this yesterday afternoon. It came out beautiful! My husband helps me cut my hair since it is easier for a second person to cut a straight line. This tutorial gave him confidence in what he was doing. He was impressed with the outcome as well! Thank you for the great tutorial!
Thank you so much for all the videos you put out! I've cut my hair the last two times and just cut my mom's, she is happier than ever! Not only have you saved us so much money, but I think I like it more now than I ever have in the salon! Thank you!
Watched this video a couple of times and even though I'm all thumbs I am very pleased the way it came out. I had been depressed about my hair lately and I am so glad I found your channel. THANK YOU
Just did it today with my husband's help! Your videos never fail and have saved me SO much money haha! I also added some magenta and violet color to my dark brown hair. I'm in LOVE!
I just did this haircut, as an attempt to fix a bad haircut (in my opinion) and it worked beautifully!! Thank you so much! You saved me a lot of time and money, since I don't have to see a new hairdresser.
I tried this lastnight my hair has a natural wave and after doing this it has brought my natural wave back into my hair haven't had my hair cut since Feb last year and couldn't go to the hairdressers as I'm unvaxed you saved me thankyou so much my hair looks great and feels great
I love the fact that you do tutorials for us to do ourselves in such an easy way. All I’d like to add as someone who went to beauty school, for those watching, is to not yank the hair off your scalp! When you pull the hair between your fingers to cut it, you don’t want to pull the hair really super tight. Just make sure it’s straight and you’re good! I used to do this on myself and learned a valuable lesson. 😅 Pulling that hard will pull the skin and change the shape of the cut. It will look like you cut a straight line, but when you let go of the hair the skin will lie back down and that straight line will have a curve to it. Doing this will keep the hair from having that uniform and flowing look, because it’s not blended. It has a bunch of holes, as my instructor would say.
Hi Paul As a retired hairdresser I'm very particular about my haircut. I usually do it myself with a little help from my sister. I have trouble getting the line correct, using this method of sectioning the hair with bands had never occurred to me until I came across your video. Thanks for sharing your expertise and your sense of humor! 👍😁
Thanks so much for this! I cut my hair last night using the pony tails and sectioning like you showed. This morning I cleaned up the layers after blowing it out. It's easier for me to see them on my own head with dry hair. I'm really happy with it! I started cutting my own hair when I was 14 so I'm a little bold. However, I don't have all the mirrors to see the back and sides of my head anymore. Sectioning took a LONG time. Those would have been really handy yesterday! I think maybe I should get some again.
That center pony tail is the thing I was missing when cutting my own hair. This cut is so much easier than my layering method of pulling sections forward, add an inch, and cut. My crown hair was always a bit longer than I wanted. Thanks for the video.
I did this and I love my hair!! Exactly how I wanted it! I asked for this similar look in a salon one time, and she wasn't even close. I did it myself and got the look I wanted 😍 thank you!!
I tried this for my naturally wavy hair and it’s the best cut I’ve had in years! It brought back the wave, took out weird “shelf layers” I had and Ifeel beautiful. Had no idea how to point cut and was scared but it’s terrific!
My hair is pretty thin and because of that I hate going to the hairdresser... I followed your easy instructions and I love the extra volume this haircut gave me❤️ thank you
I'm not sure you'll see my comment but I was excited to read your comment. I have fine hair too. I've had this haircut before and I loved it. Unfortunately the cut was 200 bucks and that's not in my budget anymore. I was just wondering if you had any advice? Were you able to copy his instructions without any problems?
Oh yeah, hairdressers can be really cruel. One of my pet peeves at the hair dresser is also the chemicals they use and I hate breathing them in. I prefer much more natural ways.
Have just cut my hair following your video. It is PERRRFECT and stylish! I have fired my hairdresser. Lol. Thanks a million. I have forwarded your video to all my friends who can't get out in this pandemic!
Love it! So simple but a sophisticated result. Once I learned to do ponytail cutting and then the refining bits I switched to that for my own and my daughters haircuts. Excellent results we never could get at the salons we tried. Well, I did get it at one salon many years ago, absolutely perfect haircut that looked spectacular even in a 60mph gale at the beach! Went back to the same salon the next time time but that amazing man had moved on and they refused to give me the info on where he went. I never ever found another stylist so good, sadly. Thank you for your great demos!
Thank you, thank you, thank you for this perfect tutorial. After many stressful and disappointing visits to the salon, I decided to cut my own hair and have been doing so for 7 years! I wanted this exact haircut and tried this method. I LOVE MY HAIR!
Great job! It’s surprising how many young stylists haven’t a strong understanding of the these basics…elevation, graduation and over direction. Keep on teaching 🙌
Used this video twice, and I LOVE my hair!!! I have fine wavy hair, and I need to keep it shoulder length so it will hold the wave. Brilliant tutorial with the sectioning. If I can do it, anyone can! 🤩
You had me cracking up when you pulled off the head to give it a shake 🤣. Also, this is exactly what I needed about 6 hours ago when my husband was attempting to give me this haircut. It turned out ok but more blunt. I’ll use this when it in a few weeks when gets longer. Thanks!
Just spontaniously tried this haircut on myself after the video showed up in my recommendations lol. I didn't cut it quite as short, but it still came out super nice. I am so happy :) Also I didn't blunt cut the sections, but did some point cutting while the hair was still in ponytails. Gave me the perfect texture i wanted
@@brigittan3590 my hair is long enough i can kinda pull it above my head to see where I am cutting If you pull it like sideways/forward it might not be a straight cut. Maybe it helps to use two mirrors
Yes, please give a professional technique video on this hair cut!! I love using your salon techniques. I watch the pony tail videos first, then the professional salon videos. Thank you so much for free education!! 👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻
Will diffinetly be doing this!!! I never go to a salon to cut my hair! I swear they see a pretty girl and there determined to butcher my hair! I Only 2 people my entire life have ever cut my hair properly! Love this! ❤️
I’ve been cutting my own hair for years and could never get it quite right. This was perfection and I only had to even out a couple pieces in the front. I have wavy curly hair and it’s very thick. This looks awesome 😎 very happy and saving this video thanks !!!! ❤
Omg! I’ve just watched few videos on haircuts; butterfly long hair cut, and long bob layered cut. Couldn’t believe you’ve used the methods I have been using for years for cutting my hair.😃
Can’t thank you enough for this. Was overseas and in desperate need of a haircut. I had ZERO confidence due to language barriers that I could explain what I wanted and decided to try this. I was super nervous, but figured if I screwed up, my stylist could fix it when I got home. It was as close to perfect as it could be. When I finally made it to the salon when I got home, my stylist couldn’t believe it. I showed her (and 3 of the other stylists who were there) your video. They were fascinated. The owner came over and said, “put that damn thing away before you put me out of business!” Laughing… She then said, “Everyone knows Watts is a genius!” Thank you again for being so generous with your skill and your talent ❤
So I just tried in on myself and guys… it’s not as easy as it looks 😅 At first it looked like a hot mess but after some chaotic blow drying and even more chaotic pointcutting, I just love the final result! My soft, fine hair is now bouncy and has an amazing volume. There really is so much movement and even minor mistakes (and trust me, I’ve made some) look good. This is going to be my go to haircut now, thank you so much!
I followed your video to cut my cousin’s hair - it turned out fantastic! I liked it so well I then had her cut my hair and I absolutely love it. Thank you for helping those of us who are not hair stylists. 🙂❤️
I love these videos! I am also a stylist who cuts my own hair and I understand the principle behind this that makes it work. It’s a great way to get it done fast! I do a shag cut on my hair and since I found your two pony tail technique, I always do it on myself that way now! I also point cut into it to refine at the end. Beautiful!
I love this technique! Thank you so much! I started cutting my own thick, wavy hair in 2020 and yours is the best method. I don't think I'm ever going back to a stylist. Always over focused on "getting rid of that bulk," I'm left with thin, uncontrollable hair every time. This produces a nicely shaped mid length hairstyle that, with a little point cutting, is perfect for my hair. 💐💐💐
Thank you for this video! The only video that shows how the layers look when connected and dried. Exactly what i needed to see having straight hair. Excited to try this later 🥳
So far the best video i've seen for this type of haircut. I tried that technique on my wavy/curly/frizzy thin hair and it turned out great, I'm so happy with the texture and the soft layers and the curls it got. Thank you :)
Cutting behind my head wasn't easy, but definitely worth the trouble because this natural style is exactly what I wanted. It was a relief to be rid of so much bulk yet still have enough to pull back in a small ponytail. It was pretty awkward for me to do but it looks great, and you are so kind to help us out with styling our own hair! And this is the shortest I've ever worn my hair, yet I don't miss it at all!
Thank you. It seems we all tried immediately. 😂 I used to put all my hair( thin) in one pony tail on the top of my head and cut during pandemic, just tried this, it's not perfect for sure, but it is great idea. Looks good. Thanks.
Your video has given me the confidence to have a go at cutting my hair because of the clear instructions. This one feels simple to me. Thanks, Paul! Jacqueline from New Zealand
I just tried this technique on myself and IT WORKED PERFECTLY! I didn't even have to do any post-trimming... it just looked amazing. If I could post a pic I would but I can't. I will keep this trick handy. Thank you!
thank you, that's exactly the haircut I was looking for, I'm tired of the long straight look, everybody said I look like I'm in the 1900s, so I think this is going to bring me into the century, something modern and flattering
You brought back old memories of my sister-in-law. In the early 80's l heard about an easy way to cut a layered hair-cut. You laid on top of a table with your head hanging down and then you just cut it straight across evenly. It looked horrible, but of course we didn't think about the big wad of hair her boyfriend pulled out the back of her head. She wasn't mad, I never cut anybody's hair after that and we got a really BIG laugh out of it! I sure do miss her.
I didn't get as much of an invert as I had hoped, but I'm broke right now and needed a trim desperately. This was fast and easy, and gave me the results I needed to hold me over. Thank you!!
i used this technique the other day, Great tutorial and I'm still shocked and amazed that I could do this at home by myself AND have such great results.
Just did this, love it ❤ been cutting Wolfe and butter cuts keeping my length. Needed a change. Took 5 inches off bottom pony tail. Took me a while to part the three sections. Turned out wonderful!!!! Thank you ❤❤
Omg yaaaas! Watching from San Diego, California and once my 21 year young daughter wakes up. I’m going to ask her to do this to my hair. I will get it wet, pulled back and primped for her!! I’ll let u know how it goes!
Thought the end style was a real model! 😳 What a great technique! Wish they taught these types of methods in cosmetology school. Love the cut, color and style! Great tutorial!
Thank you for making this video! This is THE HAIRCUT I've been trying to get stylists to do on my hair for the longest time and now I know how to ask for it in terms they can understand. Yay! It's one of the few haircuts that seem to actually work for my super thick coarse hair with lots of density and volume at the crown. I would LOVE to see the section-by-section salon floor technique version of this haircut! Pretty please! :)
Every DIY cut I’ve done off however, you’ve managed to give instruction much like extracting essence of a beautiful bouquet 💐. The cut turned out on point! It leaves room for error and makes it chic. Excellent work and THANK YOU ☺️.
i just tried this hairstyle on my elder sisters long hair and the end results were stunning. She really loved the way it turned out. Thanks alot for this much easy tutorial.
Absolutely LOVED your video, the style came out beautifully. My husband and I cut my hair about 11/2 weeks ago and I so wish I knew then what you just showed me. I'll just have to wait a few weeks to give it a try. Thanks so much. Luv u, Karen
Thank you I've been cutting my hair for a couple of years now I love these ponytail cuts really helped the thinning look in the back get a nice blunt cut
So my peri-menopaus recently went nuts all of a sudden this last few months, and ALOT of my hair fell out. My waist length 2b curls suddenly went really weird & wouldn't curl anymore & became super knotty, to the point of tangling together into 1 big matted mess. It was heart breaking & I didn't know what to do with it. I came across your video, and thought this haircut looked so playful & sexy & flattering, so since I was going to have to cut off my long hair anyway, I figured f it, I'm going for it. I just want to say thank you so, so much for this video. My hair has been such a massive part of my self esteme for my whole life, but doing this hair cut at home not only gave me control over my hair again, but it looks wonderful on me. My hair looks so healthy again. It still reflects my personality, but it's short & managable, and comes across as thick again, even though I lost so much hair. You've made me feel like me again, and made me feel beautiful again. So I am extremely greatful to you for making this wonderful video & explaining exactly where to section it & where to cut it, and making it so simple.
Since many years i didn't go to thé "coiffeur" because nobody understood me, I decided to keep it long. Now they are very long. . I thank you very much for your skill cut you made thé haïr cut very easy that evryone Can Do it by him(her)self.
Love it! Thank you for dispelling so much of the mystery around haircuts. If you are looking for video topics, short videos on the refining techniques you use, such as how to point cut, would be great. Also styling videos; I can't seem to master the blow dryer. 😆I also have crazy cowlicks, so learning how to either cut or style working with natural wave patterns would be indispensable. Thank you!!!
I did this on my own on my mid-length, thin and curly hair and it is PERFECTION!!! Thank you so much, it looks so beautiful and undone in the best possible way! It took sometime to get the sections right but it is possible to do this alone! I love it!!!!💥
I have curly hair too and have been wanting this haircut for a long time and I don't trust any salon with it but I am so scared to do it on my own too because all these tutorials are on straight hair. I usually cut my own hair...but I am still scared. You are the only curly comment I see so far. Can you give me some tips on how to do it right? Also it doesn't come out choppy does it?
@@preshitakudtarkar2755 Hi! Sure! First, don't be afraid: this looks wonderful on curly hair. It doesn't look choppy but it gives a nice movement to the curls. Second: I washed my hair and made sure I did the sectioning and the cutting with wet hair. I have fine curly hair so this helps to get a clean cut and clean sections. Third: Spend time to get the sections right! Don't rush that part. And once you put the hair bands in place DON'T pull tight on the hair. That will gather some strands on top and it will make the cut uneven Four: don't be shy. If you don't cut enough length off, you won't see much change. Follow the video for length (and for everything else 😁) Go for it, take your time and don't worry! You'll be fine!!💫👌
I couldn't do it and so I showed my 15 year old autistic son and asked him to do it, and he nailed it! He's never ever cut hair before but I knew he'd be okay as he has such an eye for detail!

Omg I laughed too 😂😂😂

was it hard to get the partings clean and cut the ponytails from the back of your head?
I'm glad it turned out well!!! I think I'm going to try it out 💖
How do you do it on yourself? I should pull the sections forward?
how do you cut the back of your own ponytail, not sure that seems possible for me. please advise

I tried this for my naturally wavy hair and it’s the best cut I’ve had in years! It brought back the wave, took out weird “shelf layers” I had and Ifeel beautiful. Had no idea how to point cut and was scared but it’s terrific!
How do you do it on yourself? I should pull the sections forward?
My hair is pretty thin and because of that I hate going to the hairdresser... I followed your easy instructions and I love the extra volume this haircut gave me❤️ thank you
I'm not sure you'll see my comment but I was excited to read your comment. I have fine hair too. I've had this haircut before and I loved it. Unfortunately the cut was 200 bucks and that's not in my budget anymore. I was just wondering if you had any advice? Were you able to copy his instructions without any problems?
I have fine hair too, unfortunately nothing lasts. Within half an hour it's straight again. 😊
Oh yeah, hairdressers can be really cruel. One of my pet peeves at the hair dresser is also the chemicals they use and I hate breathing them in. I prefer much more natural ways.
I did this last night. Getting lots of compliments already! Everyone thought I got it professionally done! Thanks!! 🙌🙌
how did you style the front? I liked it better before it was smoother out
How did you cut it in back like this yourself? I want to try it but worried I can’t reach it.
Have just cut my hair following your video. It is PERRRFECT and stylish! I have fired my hairdresser. Lol. Thanks a million. I have forwarded your video to all my friends who can't get out in this pandemic!
Love it! So simple but a sophisticated result. Once I learned to do ponytail cutting and then the refining bits I switched to that for my own and my daughters haircuts. Excellent results we never could get at the salons we tried.
Well, I did get it at one salon many years ago, absolutely perfect haircut that looked spectacular even in a 60mph gale at the beach! Went back to the same salon the next time time but that amazing man had moved on and they refused to give me the info on where he went. I never ever found another stylist so good, sadly.
Thank you for your great demos!
Great to hear Granny T
Thank you, thank you, thank you for this perfect tutorial. After many stressful and disappointing visits to the salon, I decided to cut my own hair and have been doing so for 7 years! I wanted this exact haircut and tried this method. I LOVE MY HAIR!
Gracias, eres un amor.. lo hice a mi hija y me quedo super
it's our second time doing this cut, my husband helped me every time. Thank you!!! we love it 🥰
Great job! It’s surprising how many young stylists haven’t a strong understanding of the these basics…elevation, graduation and over direction. Keep on teaching 🙌
I couldn’t agree more 😉
Used this video twice, and I LOVE my hair!!! I have fine wavy hair, and I need to keep it shoulder length so it will hold the wave. Brilliant tutorial with the sectioning. If I can do it, anyone can! 🤩
You had me cracking up when you pulled off the head to give it a shake 🤣. Also, this is exactly what I needed about 6 hours ago when my husband was attempting to give me this haircut. It turned out ok but more blunt. I’ll use this when it in a few weeks when gets longer. Thanks!
Do you sometimes wish you could pull his head off and give it a shake?😂
What went wrong
Trying to be quiet, while everyone in my house sleeps, but dammit I laughed so hard when you took the head off! It was just so unexpected.
Also liked how she's suddenly wearing a flannel in the end. Did she get cold? Lol
Lol you’re daring letting your husband do the cut 🤣 I would never 🤣🤣 glad it worked out for you 😁 I’m trying this method this week 😃
Just spontaniously tried this haircut on myself after the video showed up in my recommendations lol. I didn't cut it quite as short, but it still came out super nice. I am so happy :) Also I didn't blunt cut the sections, but did some point cutting while the hair was still in ponytails. Gave me the perfect texture i wanted
Im interested in doing it your way also, i just dont want the back section to be quite so short, did u achieve that as well?
He did point cutting too, dry
How do you do it on yourself? I should pull the sections forward?
@@sanforddavis1686 yep, i just didn't take off as much length 😊 it worked for me
@@brigittan3590 my hair is long enough i can kinda pull it above my head to see where I am cutting
If you pull it like sideways/forward it might not be a straight cut. Maybe it helps to use two mirrors
Yes, please give a professional technique video on this hair cut!! I love using your salon techniques. I watch the pony tail videos first, then the professional salon videos. Thank you so much for free education!! 👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻
Will diffinetly be doing this!!! I never go to a salon to cut my hair! I swear they see a pretty girl and there determined to butcher my hair! I
Only 2 people my entire life have ever cut my hair properly! Love this! ❤️
I’ve been cutting my own hair for years and could never get it quite right. This was perfection and I only had to even out a couple pieces in the front. I have wavy curly hair and it’s very thick. This looks awesome 😎 very happy and saving this video thanks !!!! ❤
I juts did this cut on my self and I love it!!! Easy , fast and beautiful ❤
I did this cut to myself. The key is Point cut and it looks awesome.
Omg! I’ve just watched few videos on haircuts; butterfly long hair cut, and long bob layered cut. Couldn’t believe you’ve used the methods I have been using for years for cutting my hair.😃
Can’t thank you enough for this. Was overseas and in desperate need of a haircut. I had ZERO confidence due to language barriers that I could explain what I wanted and decided to try this. I was super nervous, but figured if I screwed up, my stylist could fix it when I got home. It was as close to perfect as it could be. When I finally made it to the salon when I got home, my stylist couldn’t believe it. I showed her (and 3 of the other stylists who were there) your video. They were fascinated. The owner came over and said, “put that damn thing away before you put me out of business!” Laughing… She then said, “Everyone knows Watts is a genius!” Thank you again for being so generous with your skill and your talent ❤
And everyone clapped..
So I just tried in on myself and guys… it’s not as easy as it looks 😅 At first it looked like a hot mess but after some chaotic blow drying and even more chaotic pointcutting, I just love the final result! My soft, fine hair is now bouncy and has an amazing volume. There really is so much movement and even minor mistakes (and trust me, I’ve made some) look good. This is going to be my go to haircut now, thank you so much!
I followed your video to cut my cousin’s hair - it turned out fantastic! I liked it so well I then had her cut my hair and I absolutely love it. Thank you for helping those of us who are not hair stylists. 🙂❤️
Just did this cut for my daughter with 0.0% experience of cutting hair! Thank you!! 🥰
I love these videos! I am also a stylist who cuts my own hair and I understand the principle behind this that makes it work. It’s a great way to get it done fast! I do a shag cut on my hair and since I found your two pony tail technique, I always do it on myself that way now! I also point cut into it to refine at the end. Beautiful!
I love this technique! Thank you so much! I started cutting my own thick, wavy hair in 2020 and yours is the best method. I don't think I'm ever going back to a stylist. Always over focused on "getting rid of that bulk," I'm left with thin, uncontrollable hair every time. This produces a nicely shaped mid length hairstyle that, with a little point cutting, is perfect for my hair. 💐💐💐
Thank you for this video! The only video that shows how the layers look when connected and dried. Exactly what i needed to see having straight hair. Excited to try this later 🥳
So far the best video i've seen for this type of haircut. I tried that technique on my wavy/curly/frizzy thin hair and it turned out great, I'm so happy with the texture and the soft layers and the curls it got. Thank you :)
I love it, the simplicity you have when explaining everything, thank you for your time and patience in explaining everything 🌟🥂🌟
Cutting behind my head wasn't easy, but definitely worth the trouble because this natural style is exactly what I wanted. It was a relief to be rid of so much bulk yet still have enough to pull back in a small ponytail. It was pretty awkward for me to do but it looks great, and you are so kind to help us out with styling our own hair! And this is the shortest I've ever worn my hair, yet I don't miss it at all!
How did you cut the back of your head?
Thank you. It seems we all tried immediately. 😂 I used to put all my hair( thin) in one pony tail on the top of my head and cut during pandemic, just tried this, it's not perfect for sure, but it is great idea. Looks good. Thanks.
Your video has given me the confidence to have a go at cutting my hair because of the clear instructions. This one feels simple to me. Thanks, Paul!
Jacqueline from New Zealand
Its beautifull, I dont speak english but I understand all, thank you!
Thanks for showing how to make waves with a flat iron. Super helpful!
I just tried this technique on myself and IT WORKED PERFECTLY! I didn't even have to do any post-trimming... it just looked amazing. If I could post a pic I would but I can't. I will keep this trick handy. Thank you!
This 100% works. I tried it on myself. Thank you very much Paul.
This is the prettiest bob I've ever seen, it's so beautiful I love it!! Totally trying this!!
thank you, that's exactly the haircut I was looking for, I'm tired of the long straight look, everybody said I look like I'm in the 1900s, so I think this is going to bring me into the century, something modern and flattering
You brought back old memories of my sister-in-law. In the early 80's l heard about an easy way to cut a layered hair-cut. You laid on top of a table with your head hanging down and then you just cut it straight across evenly. It looked horrible, but of course we didn't think about the big wad of hair her boyfriend pulled out the back of her head. She wasn't mad, I never cut anybody's hair after that and we got a really BIG laugh out of it! I sure do miss her.
I didn't get as much of an invert as I had hoped, but I'm broke right now and needed a trim desperately. This was fast and easy, and gave me the results I needed to hold me over. Thank you!!
i used this technique the other day, Great tutorial and I'm still shocked and amazed that I could do this at home by myself AND have such great results.
Just did this, love it ❤ been cutting Wolfe and butter cuts keeping my length. Needed a change. Took 5 inches off bottom pony tail. Took me a while to part the three sections. Turned out wonderful!!!! Thank you ❤❤
Omg yaaaas! Watching from San Diego, California and once my 21 year young daughter wakes up. I’m going to ask her to do this to my hair. I will get it wet, pulled back and primped for her!! I’ll let u know how it goes!
How did ya go, sis? About to commit, myself xo
Thought the end style was a real model! 😳 What a great technique! Wish they taught these types of methods in cosmetology school. Love the cut, color and style! Great tutorial!
Thank you soooo much for this! I used this to clean up the bob I gave myself a couple months ago and I’m so happy with how it turned out! So easy too!
Thank you! I just watched and am about to cut my sister’s hair. You are so kind to share this with us!!! 💕
Thank you for making this video! This is THE HAIRCUT I've been trying to get stylists to do on my hair for the longest time and now I know how to ask for it in terms they can understand. Yay! It's one of the few haircuts that seem to actually work for my super thick coarse hair with lots of density and volume at the crown. I would LOVE to see the section-by-section salon floor technique version of this haircut! Pretty please! :)
Best tutorial for an easy and professional-lookiing cut!! Thank you!!
Every DIY cut I’ve done off however, you’ve managed to give instruction much like extracting essence of a beautiful bouquet 💐. The cut turned out on point! It leaves room for error and makes it chic.
Excellent work and THANK YOU ☺️.
I just followed this tutorial and my hair looks PERFECT! Thanks so much!
I did it!!! Came out super cute. So easy and quick. Thanks for the video. 😎
i just tried this hairstyle on my elder sisters long hair and the end results were stunning. She really loved the way it turned out. Thanks alot for this much easy tutorial.
Absolutely LOVED your video, the style came out beautifully. My husband and I cut my hair about 11/2 weeks ago and I so wish I knew then what you just showed me. I'll just have to wait a few weeks to give it a try. Thanks so much.
Luv u,
Karen
Thank you I've been cutting my hair for a couple of years now I love these ponytail cuts really helped the thinning look in the back get a nice blunt cut
wow! although I have yet to perfect this, I love this technique. Tried this awhile ago. Better than my usual "mulan" way of hair-cutting 😂
Amazing👏👏👏💖💖Thank you so much !!!!!
Wow! I've cut my own hair the past 2 years using a ponytail method, but I love the 3 layered approach you did here! Thanks for this, I love the style.
Same.
So my peri-menopaus recently went nuts all of a sudden this last few months, and ALOT of my hair fell out. My waist length 2b curls suddenly went really weird & wouldn't curl anymore & became super knotty, to the point of tangling together into 1 big matted mess. It was heart breaking & I didn't know what to do with it. I came across your video, and thought this haircut looked so playful & sexy & flattering, so since I was going to have to cut off my long hair anyway, I figured f it, I'm going for it. I just want to say thank you so, so much for this video. My hair has been such a massive part of my self esteme for my whole life, but doing this hair cut at home not only gave me control over my hair again, but it looks wonderful on me. My hair looks so healthy again. It still reflects my personality, but it's short & managable, and comes across as thick again, even though I lost so much hair. You've made me feel like me again, and made me feel beautiful again. So I am extremely greatful to you for making this wonderful video & explaining exactly where to section it & where to cut it, and making it so simple.
I absolutely loved this and the end result. I would love to see the "salon version" for this cut please xx
Right! This video probably saved me at least £50...wanted to get a haircut but I am very scared to go to a salin after countless fails. Thank you!!
I tried cutting my curly hair all by myself for the first time. Oh my it turns out great!! I love it. Thank you so much!
How did you do it on yourself? 🤔
@@brigittan3590 I just followed the step by step he taught😊
@@mgswing2471 you pulled the sections forward? :) thanks!
Since many years i didn't go to thé "coiffeur" because nobody understood me, I decided to keep it long. Now they are very long. .
I thank you very much for your skill cut you made thé haïr cut very easy that evryone Can Do it by him(her)self.
I love this! I’ll have to watch many times to get it,maybe I can get my daughter to do it. Thanks for sharing.
Love it! Thank you for dispelling so much of the mystery around haircuts. If you are looking for video topics, short videos on the refining techniques you use, such as how to point cut, would be great. Also styling videos; I can't seem to master the blow dryer. 😆I also have crazy cowlicks, so learning how to either cut or style working with natural wave patterns would be indispensable. Thank you!!!
I did this on my own on my mid-length, thin and curly hair and it is PERFECTION!!! Thank you so much, it looks so beautiful and undone in the best possible way! It took sometime to get the sections right but it is possible to do this alone! I love it!!!!💥
I have curly hair too and have been wanting this haircut for a long time and I don't trust any salon with it but I am so scared to do it on my own too because all these tutorials are on straight hair. I usually cut my own hair...but I am still scared. You are the only curly comment I see so far. Can you give me some tips on how to do it right? Also it doesn't come out choppy does it?
@@preshitakudtarkar2755
Hi! Sure!
First, don't be afraid: this looks wonderful on curly hair. It doesn't look choppy but it gives a nice movement to the curls.
Second: I washed my hair and made sure I did the sectioning and the cutting with wet hair. I have fine curly hair so this helps to get a clean cut and clean sections.
Third: Spend time to get the sections right! Don't rush that part. And once you put the hair bands in place DON'T pull tight on the hair. That will gather some strands on top and it will make the cut uneven
Four: don't be shy. If you don't cut enough length off, you won't see much change. Follow the video for length (and for everything else 😁)
Go for it, take your time and don't worry! You'll be fine!!💫👌
OHH one last thing: for the love of curly hair, use hair cutting scissors !!! Don't use the blunt ones you use for the kitchen or you desk!!😊
@@mariadelmardospasos Noted. Thank you so much🥹
I would never do the ponytail thing on a client but I think it’s a really good way of explaining elevation and distribution to juniors. Great job 👏🏽
