OMG I just paused literally every 15 seconds but I cut SUCH CUTE 90's style layers into my long hair. so much more body, texture and volume that my thin hair neeeeeeded
Reading this comment made me so happy Katie, I'm really glad to know that you loved with the way it turned out! Thanks for watching!

Heard youuu. Going to buy scissors 🤣
Me too... And my daughter's hair look Fabolous and I'm proud of myself.. thank you ❤️
@@OliveDreams lot of love from Pakistan 🇵🇰 ♥ loveeee u
DO NOT skip the first step. After you do step 1 and determine your hair length, tie that hair back for the rest of the cut and DO NOT LET IT FREE until she says "moving on to the final step"; at this point, your length is completely safe from accidentally being chopped too short.
For those who are lost, when she cuts "the back section of her hair", I believe she is referring to the TOP HALF of the back section (the obvious section that hasn't been layered by that point).
This technique truly is perfect, and I kept my length exactly where I wanted it while getting perfectly layered hair! A big plus that this saved me $80 today, and thousands more as I never see myself going back to a salon after learning how to do this!
Reminder: your fingers that are guiding should be perpendicular to your middle part (parallell to your face).
Thank you!! I was worried about that the whole video . Lol
OHH! Now I got it. I was like...she determined the length she want at the beginning but then she cut it much more...So happy I found your comments because I really do not want to lose my length hahaha
Thank you! That part was a bit confusing
This made so much sense! No wonder i lost length the last time i followed this tutorial. It turned out soo good but the length was shorter. I rewatched it and realized she doesn't cut the length part. Thankyouu! 💕
I've definitely saved money from this amazing video.
However I feel like a step is missed when she is cutting the length of the hair the very start, as she only does the bottom half of the back section and not the top (only touches it when doing the front)
And now my hair is a completely shorter length at the bottom back section.
I've done 3 times now I think and this is the first time I've done messed up and don't know how hahahah!
it took me about 1.5 hours because i was being careful, but i don’t think i’ve ever had such a nice haircut in my life 😍 i went from fairly long -> medium length hair and the result is so wispy and elegant! thank you!
I usually do not comment on videos, but I have to this time. So I'm an absolute noob at cutting my own hair and messed it up several times in the past. The last time I got a professional hair cut done the lady just destroyed the haircut and cut it 3-4 inches shorter than what I wanted and had very short layers. I just wanna say that I followed this tutorial (because I like stupid things to myself) and my goodness this is amazing!! I think I have given a better haircut to myself than my hair dresser could ever do. I'm absolutely in love and I'll always following this. Saving this video for life! Anyone who wants to try cutting their own hair, girls this is the video you are looking for.
What you just explained is the reason I’ll never go to the hairdresser again they just don’t know how to cut !!! Always cut it wrong and most of all too short. The last time I went in August 2019 he just butchered my hair it took me two years now to grow it long. Now I’m cutting it on my own and it comes out perfect every time. I cut as little as I want as often as I want and it’s free and the results are great 👍
I just did this 5 minutes ago and I’m so happy I did! I haven’t had my hair cut in 3 years and just couldn’t stomach the idea of going to a salon, paying $150, and hating the cut. I figured I’d give a shot, if it turned out terrible I’d still have plenty of length left to have a professional fix it. Well, it turned out beautiful! Thank you sooo much!❤
Although I had to pause several times because it was my first attempt ever to cut my own hair. The results are amazing!!! I am honestly in shock. I cut off about 12 inches and this tutorial worked great, even for a shorter desire. Thank you for sharing this! Lately I have been super depressed and felt the need to want a change but paying over $100.00 right now for a hair cut is just not in the budget. So thank you!
I'm here for this too. I'm in that end stage of some major depression this last year... and I can't afford to go to a salon. But I need to do something different. And I'm feeling bold enough to do it myself!
My stepdaughter asked me to cut her hair this evening when she comes for the weekend, and for her to trust me that much melts my heart,. This will be the tutorial I use (I see so many comments saying they done the haircut and love it) so thank you 😁❤️
Love that, we need more sweet step-moms out here 💕✨
@@elena7659 I do my absolute best, they may not be my blood but I love them no less!!! And I'd do anything in my power to keep them safe, healthy, and happy ❤️❤️
How did it turn out for your step daughter?
Adorable xox
@@islandmama sorry just now seeing your comment for some reason...but she absolutely loved it!! Thanks for asking 😊
I did this haircut on myself today and it turned out amazing! You just saved me $100, thank you!
I'm so glad! Thank you for watching and taking the time out to comment Christina 😊
Shocked, floored, appalled, gagged that this actually worked. I was so scared to cut to the "guide" because it looked like it was cutting six inches of length but I wasn't because my head is ROUNDDDDDD. Thanks so much
i've been doing the butterfly cut for almost a year now and i got a bit tired of how thin it made my hair feel so i wanted to switch it up. I followed your tutorial to the T, pausing, rewinding and playing again and it turned out so great!!! i am beyond impressed with the look of my hair now, it looks so full and healthy, thank you so much for sharing!
This took me 35 minutes because I was so nervous, and I’ve NEVER been happier with a haircut. THANK YOU 💕
all the other videos I've seen are for women who don't have a lot of hair. This was very useful to get the grasp of cutting thicker hairs thank you
I'm so glad you found the video helpful! Thank you so much for watching and commenting, I really appreciate it 😊
I just tried it and came back to say THANK YOU SO MUCH! this gave me the perfect results. The ponytail method doesn't work for me and looks tacky. But THIS is the ✨b e s t✨ tutorial out there for long layers.
Bless you ❤️
This tutorial is the best. If I knew it were this easy to do with a systematic approach I would have cut my hair a long time ago. I had attempted bang trims in the past with seriously botched results. Once I finished in an hour, I proudly showed my husband and he was very impressed. He strongly advised against it given my past failures but I assured him I'd studied up this method and watched the video 5 times. This is the most confident I have ever felt after a haircut and I did it myself:-) I read a great many of the other reviews and I skipped step 1 entirely and went for the half inch center part to start the layers. I'm pleased with the results.
Omg this is not for the faint of heart, I paused and hit rewind a million times. When I got to the two inch strains used for the back, it is seems like a lot of hair to cut off the back lol but it is okay it works perfectly! My hair looks great! I will try this dry cut next time, wet cut is way too hard even with Detangle spray! Thank you for this tutorial! It was not easy, but it works! 😂❤
My hair is curly (3A) and that had me doubting because Olive’s hair is straight but I knew I wanted a layered haircut because I wanted more shape and volume (something like Julia Roberts in My best friend’s wedding) so I gave it a shot, and it is the best bet I could have ever taken. For my curly girls out there, go for it! I am incredibly happy with the result, thanks for this tutorial!
If you have adhd or just suck with details what makes this haircut work is PULLING YOUR WHOLE HAIR AND CUTTING IT while holding back to front and doing the angle
Bless you for this!!! I had my mom help me with this cut. We went suuuper slowly and double and triple checked every section and snip and it turned out beauuuuutfully! I’m in utter shock! The layers are beautifully blended and have such good movement! No choppiness at ALL! It looks professional! Thank you so much for sharing this!
*OH MY gOD!!*
I just finished cutting my hair now it’s much lighter voluminous and has a *SHaPE*
My hair is thin but after the layers it looks fuller and healthier ❤️❤️
Thank you so much 😢❤
I used to cut my bangs to frame my face. I was always nervous to do more. After researching numerous video clips. I loved the time and detail you took to explain every section. My hair was long and heavy. This is a game changer for me! Thank you for sharing your beautiful haircut! Mine came out fabulous! I love that I still have some length!
I avoided so much the layer haircuts because I had 2 bad experiences at some top salons 😅 after two years of growing my hair to my belly button I’ve tried this haircut sooo nervous. Hands down the best haircut I ever had. And probably my forever go 2 😂 thank you ❤️
I've cut my hair with the help of this video 2 months ago and i've never had such a beautiful haircut, using this tutorial forever in the future!
i wish i could show you my hair before and after pics!!! my hair after following this tutorial is sooooo soooo much of an improvement!!! no split ends anywhere, natural volume and pretty layers. i will follow this tutorial til the end of time !! this is honestly a better haircut than i’ve gotten at salons. thank u so much❤
The best cut your own layers video ever! I've tried two other methods this year but this is the most simple and beautiful one, super happy with the results 😍 will come back in 3-4 months (my hair grows super fast 😅)
Thanks so much Deena, I am so happy to know that you loved the way it turned out! 😊
LOVE THIS VIDEO! Found this video 3 years ago when I first cut my hair by myself & it turned out so cute. I now go back to this video every 6-9 months to do it all over again
I have been doing the single ponytail “unicorn” cut for a while now, and adapted it for my curls, it was okay…but the layers seemed to all curl together and weren’t really noticeable. I tried this (took me an hour) and I’m SO much happier with the shape of my hair and curls. It looks great, thank you so much! Pinning this on Pinterest & saving it for later! ❤
I’m a cosmetology student atm, and have been cutting long layers like no tomorrow. Lol. But this technique basically covers what we learned, of course in different technique. The only other thing we do is point cut the shortest layer with the longest layer in vertical sections. I’m impressed for an at home haircut.
Had a botched haircut yesterday and your video saved my hair! Thank you so much!
I'm about to try it. I have very long, thinning hair. It just hangs off my head, no movement.
UPDATE: I did it and LOVE IT! I was scared a few times during the cut, but I trusted the process. Just take your time and watch her closely. 😊
Did it for the first time, amazing result!!!! It gave me so much volume that i did not expect i could have for doing the first time cut my own hair. For anyone who would like to give it a shot, go ahead garlssss!!!! Tho cutting longer hair (mine to the waist) is easier than short hair. And take your time!!! The vid is 12’ but i took 1h30 for this. Worth the try and it made my day🎉🎉🎉🎉
Just did this haircut for the 1st time and it came out perfect!!! Thank you so much! I’ve been cutting my own hair now for many years, and this method is the most fool proof one out there with the best results! Will probably be my haircut for the rest of my life now. Such a money saver and my layers are gorgeous!
I did it! 🌟
I had to pause every 3 seconds but the explanation was great. Thank you! I added to my Favorites so I can revisit in 4 mths 📆
yeyey!! I am super happy to hear that you liked the way it came out! Thank you for watching and see you again in 4 months 😊😊
I had the 2am urge to stress cut my hair and I’m glad I followed this! I have wavy hair and it turned out beautiful ❤️
I fixed a botched haircut with this tutorial. I was so afraid to try it but it came out perfect. Thank you so much! Lifesaver!
The best haircut I have ever gotten, I followed the steps, and the result I got was 100 times better than at the most expensive haircut salons I have gone. Thank you goddess 💜
I watched this 30 times 🤣 but it helped me finally cut layers in my long hair and it looks SOOOO much better. I do not going to a salon because they have always cut so much off. Love how yours turned out!
Woow!!! This is amazing ! I just did it. It took me about 1 hour because I was so afraid, I never cut my hair by myself before, so I was really doing it slowly so I won’t mess it up. I love it. My hair looks so good. Guess I don’t need a hairstylist from now on :)) what I did different tho, was instead of getting it wet, I straightened it and it still worked.
Yes! That's exactly what I was looking for! I've been cutting my own hair for a while, but it never turns out exactly the way I envision. But this is it!!! Please, never take this tutorial down. Let it be on the plataform forever. Greetings from Brazil :)
i was scared to do this at first because my hairs a mix between 2c-3a, but this came out so good😍im acc obsessed. the layers are so stunning and my hair has gained so much volume!!
I am following this hair cut for years now! I love it :)
Not gonna lie, I was freaking out the entire time thinking I was doing this incorrectly but I was really surprised as soon as I blow dried my hair!!! I love it! Saved me a good amount of money :))
did u have to style it to look like this
About 6 months ago i cut my hair following this tutorial while aiming for a very long hair and was super satisfied with the end result, now my hair is at my hips and im trying to cut it to chest lenght using this same technique, will update later with the results
i just tried this on my curly hair and i’m so happy with the results!!! it works so well and my hair is nice and even, full, voluminous, and i’m just so happy.
I started cutting my own hair after a botched curly dry cut in 2021. I realized I could do better than most of the $100 cuts I was paying for. Then last winter, I decided to start growing my hair out, and start straightening it again. It recently finally got long enough that I could add layers for straightening. I watched the beginning of this video, skipped to the end, and decided to go for it because my hair is about the same thickness as the creator’s. I blindly watched to the whole thing from start to finish as I cut. My cut ended up perfect, given the shortest length I picked from the start. It’s a symmetrical U, almost V shape in the back, and has lovely layers in the front. I think as I grow my hair out more and cut again in six months, I will simply pick the starting piece and trim only the dead ends and go from there, so the same shape just grows longer over time. The cut reminds me so much of the cut I had in high school back in the late 90s, which is basically back in style, and it does really well with a blowout styling too. Thanks for this awesome tutorial!!
I've been looking all over youtube to find a tutorial like this. Thank you so much, you look absolutely stunning!
Thank you, thank you so much !!
My hair was so dried up and damaged and with a 8 month old at home it's been kinda hard to get time to go in to the salon to get a cut 😊🥰 thank you so much once more it was so easy to follow along with the video. 100% RECOMENDED !
As someone who has very soft fine hair that gets weighed down very easily this hairstyle works really well for me, I love this
Always come back to this vid I love it
This is truly the best layer cut you can do at home. I have hair till my hips and it’s thick.. I followed every step except the first one with the lower hair. I did that in the last to take out thin look in the end. It came out beautifully 👌🏻👌🏻👌🏻
Omg ❤This is the first time I cut my hair.I cut it myself and the result is amazing and there is no mistake. Thank you very much❤❤❤❤❤
THANK YOU SO MUCH!!! 😊 FIRST TIME I have ever cut my hair since it's gotten long and I followed your precise steps and it turned out GREAT! Have more back surgery in the future and sitting in a salon just isn't possible for me! You are my life savor!!! Thank you so much.
Omg I followed the instruction & now I look like this! Im beautiful! You're Beautiful! Life is Beautiful! Thank You!
Tried it 2 times, first time it took me 1h40min, second time 1h15min , it does look fabulous. Thank you, I feel amazing!
🎉🎉😊❤
I’ve been cutting my own hair for almost 15 years and I’ve always done whatever method I thought was best in the most recent years it was the ponytail method that always left me unsatisfied. This, this is THE tutorial. Everyone at work kept asking who did my hair and I was pleased to say it was all me, all around layers, no weird extra long layer, healthiest my hair has felt after a cut in a long time 😭
And to give some background I don’t go to hairstylists because I have a very big issue with other people touching my head and my hair. 😅
was literally contemplating going to a hair saloon tomorrow, but thought I'd once again try cutting my hair. And boy am i happy, thank you!! truly
U give such clear and concise instructions and it’s easy to follow ( if u have an idea how to cut hair ) and ur voice is so soothing. Thank u for the tutorial
I was so scared to do this but, thank God I did cause I ended up with one of the best cuts I've ever had and it was FREE! Thank you🥰
My hair looks and feels friken amazing thank you so much for this!
Thank you so much. I’ve been using your guide for years and it’s the only one that gives the perfect results every time. 🙏🏼 thank you for sharing ❤️🍉
Your voice is so soothing!! I just followed this tutorial, I’ve been losing a lot of hair recently and it just wasn’t looking very good. I want to cry, it came out so nice! Thank you for making this video, I will be coming back to it in a few months!
Thank you so much! I sincerely appreciate your positive feedback and I am sooooo happy that you liked the way your haircut turned out!! 🤗
I did this haircut about a year ago and my hair looked so good and it also grew so much. It got so long that I couldn’t trim it myself because my arms weren’t long enough. I asked my niece to try cutting my hair since I wasn’t going back to the salon and paying and she butchered it. It was so bad. I didn’t say anything because
She took a lot of the unreachable length off and it wasn’t her fault I forced her to cut my hair. I came home and cut my hair using this video again finding all the places that were uneven and it fixed the whole mess. It’s a little shorter than I wanted it but it’s still an amazing cut.
This was great! Slight warning for anyone else who has really thin and delicate hair. I have so much less hair that it was difficult to find the guide! Had to do larger sections after the initial shock, and then managed to do this. Though at some points I was just guessing 😅 I have naturally curly hair as well, making this more tricky but it also hides the mistakes somewhat. Plus you need a MIRROR! Two so that you can check the partings on the back of your head.
This is my second time doing this, and honestly I love it more than the first time I did it 8+ months ago. This is a lifesaver and though this takes me 3 hours, I get it just the way I want it at no cost. Thanks so much. I’ll be using this forever.
Third time! Still love it! 😊
I felt that this video was the best for me to follow to cut my daughter’s hair. Her hair came out so nice and I am pleased that I was able to execute it 😊. Thank you for such an informative video. I think I may apply this process when I do my hair again. Take care!
You have some of the most beautiful hair I’ve ever seen , be blessed.🙏🏼
this tutorial was so easy to follow and my hair turned out so good thankyouuu
🤦🏽♀️Ok so Iv’e watch this about 4 times be for I could get up the nerve to cut my hair! AND!! OMG!! My hair came out great!! Thank you!! I can’t believe how full and healthy my hair looks!! ♥️💜💇🏻♀️Thank you!!
I decided to cut my hair after 20 years, I just let it grow since I was a kid, but I needed change. Not a drastic one, but still. So, I've never did a haircut before. I followed this tutorial and while I think I might have done better, it still turned out pretty good for this being my first time so thank you. :-)
Wow It's 3:25 am and ive decided to cut my hair
and its never looked so good! Thank you so much
Hello😊. So, I just tried this myself, and it's amazing! It did take me nearly 3 hours LOL. It probably shouldn't take anyone that long. I was just trying to make sure I was doing it right. I have long hair too.. so when bringing it up it was a struggle and it got tangled quick.
I love the turn out💕💖 so much body! I've never had long layers! My hair has always been long to my bottom with no layers. It just looked flat. This cut helped me keep length , while still adding boddy and volume. It also is so weightless💖 my scalp feels so much better!
I'm kind of having trouble finding some hairstyle though. Like a messt top bun.
I just finished cutting my 9year old daughters hair and we are OBSESSED! Never going to a hairdresser again 🤣🙌🏼❤️
I just followed this tutorial and i absolutely love how it turned out!! Thank you so much 😊
I use this Video every six months Just to give my long hair a fresh trim for layers and every time my hair looks healthier highly recommended this style of cutting /trimming ends to add layers
Love the way you smiled when you saw how gorgeous your outcome was after blowdrying - that’s my time for a big smile too xxx
I was already cutting my hair myself, since I got disappointed by my hair stylist who charged me $100+ for nothing, but this video will level up my haircut. I can't wait to try it tonight.
I have a similar hair to you, so I hope it looks as good as yours :)
I just want to say thank you so much for this video! I would pause and rewatch each cutting section to make sure I was doing it right. Almost gave up after the bottom part because I wanted to cut off 8 inches of length because my hair had gotten up to my hips and was too heavy and thick to manage. I thought I already messed it up, stopped and considered doing to wolf cut but thank god I didn’t. I resectioned and continued with the video. I love the results. I have the overall length of hair I wanted. The only think I didn’t do was the face framing later because I did really paranoid when hair that is close to my face is short since I have a round face and chubby cheeks that I’ve never been able to get rid of. Again thank you again for this tutorial, I’ll definitely be using this again and again in the future!
I’ve had your pic in my phone for like a year and nobody can do it right! So happy I found your video
Omg I did it !! I loveedd the end result!! Defined adds alot of body and movement to hair !! I highly recommend to anyone with wavy or any kind of textured hair! :) only thing I will say is it's an arm workout and the hair used as a guide was very confusing at times. Other than that I'm super happy ! Thanks love
This is the video I have gone back to for years to cut my own hair. Eventually you will also get comfortable with the routine and be able to improvise a bit. I assure you, what she's doing works. And you can even use this method if you want it short but layered.
Did this and my hair has not looked as beautiful as it does now!! Thank you so much.
I’ll do it on my mom next
I moved to Romania and as a woman you have to pay almost 3 times than the price that I used to pay in my home country just to have a layer haircut and a bit of style. Since then, I cut my hair by myself and I make averybody happy, including my hubby😅
I just love the way you cut your hair . surely going to try this out
Thanks so much for your positive feedback! I hope you love the haircut and it turns out just like you wanted it to 😊
Hi I followed step by step and got beautiful results!! 😍 I pay 25 bucks and my hair is flat no volume and I feel like I just went to a salon!! I have never cut my hair before and I was extremely nervous but kept following each step and my hair has volume and looks so healthy now!! I did cut more than I wanted but I think I needed it because my hair was damaged and weighed down. You are amazing and I appreciate this video!! Blessings 🌺
I just did it, too and it turned out TERRIFIC!!! It's the BEST haircut I have had in FOREVER --- possibly EVER, actually. THANK YOU!!!! Great tutorial!!
Thank you for this! it was amazing, I've never actually cut my hair on my own 😂 and it came out so cool🌺
Thank you for making this video. I can't afford my hairdresser anymore en my hair was looking awful! I'll be coming back to this video in 6 months!! ❤❤
Best haircut tutorial I’ve ever seen.
Just cut my hair and it looks and feels great! Thank you for the video ❤❤
Absolutely stunning and this worked PERFECT on my hair at home. Thank you so much!
We have the same length of hair, and I've been wanting to have more layers and at the same time added more volume to it. Thank you for this tutorial, I will definitely follow how you did your hair.👍
Literally the best hair layer tutorial on UA-cam, thank you so much 💜💜💜
Thank you for this great video. I followed all your steps and ended up with a professional looking haircut from the convenience of my own home. Your instructions and demonstration are broken down in easy to follow steps 😊
I'm sooo happy to know that you found the tutorial helpful! Thanks so much for watching and commenting 😊
I was worried with my hair beginning to thin slightly that this would look stringy. It looks and feels so much better, great video.
Love this haircut! I've been doing a variation of this to my hair for a few years now because I always left unsatisfied with at the salon.
I have never had such a beautiful haircut in my life!! Thank you so much for sharing this!! 🫶🏽
Tried this and I LOVE the result!!! Thank you so much, best hair cut I've ever had, and saves so much money!
Also, could you please do a more detailed video on how you blowdry and style your hair - it's so gorgeous!
I tried this haircut on mom and she is soo happy and amazed to see it . Thank you dear.
Its like a magic trick! The whole time I'm thinking "wow, you are really cutting it off!" But in the end its still long! This is my issue... I don't want to take my length but I'm going to watch this a couple more times and give it a shot. Thank you so much!! Newly subscribed!
Yesss! I cut my hair! Thank you, for making it an easy tutorial and for saving me $80! My hair turned out beautifully 😍 . It took me almost 2 hours but soooo worth it 👌🏻 😌
