How & Why I Cut My Own Super Short Pixie Minimalist Hair Style Tutorial
Вставка
- Опубліковано 4 чер 2019
- ♥Come behind the scenes as I cut my own hair. It's not as challenging as you might think! The key is to have two good mirrors and good lighting - and in this case the iPad was standing in for the second mirror - so that made it a little more challenging. But I think you can still get the idea that this is something some folks will be able to do.
♥I'm using a #3 cutting guard on the clippers, which is 3/8 of an inch or 9.5 mm. And yes I already know the clippers need adjustment, and I suppose I will eventually need to replace them - but I'm in no hurry to do that. I'm also using a small fine comb, a regular barber's scissors, a pair of thinning shears, and a glass of water.
♥Super short minimalist hair is not for everyone! But for those who are interested or curious - this will help. It won't give you the thirty five years of cutting hair (my own and others) that I have... but it will help.
♥The funny part is... I've grown out my hair since I made this video. So if you see me out and about (or here in a video) you'll see me in various stages of growing out this pixie cut. I am finding (much to my surprise) that I can have super simple minimalist hair at any length. I don't think I believed that was possible when I made this video.
I've recently gone through hair loss associated with chemotherapy and I came back to this video with new eyes. This really is the perfect cut for heading into chemo hair loss - when you know it's coming. And it's really the perfect cut to begin the growing out process. I think wearing my hair in this style for many years made it much easier for me to navigate the transition from my then-long hair back to zero hair and then into this pixie cut. No matter what your life experience that brings you to this cut, I wish you good health and happiness!
Without a doubt, THE BEST video on UA-cam!!! No background music!!! I want to be educated, not entertained. Tysm 😊
Right? Content creators have no idea how annoying their soundtracks can be. I always mute when it is just music. If I want to listen to music, I'll pick what I want to listen to thank you very much!
I've cut my own hair, my husband's hair, and my dog's hair for years. This is the best video I've ever seen for what I've aimed for. Although thinning shears are a regular in my routine, I never really got the "hang" of them until you explained moving the fingers further out with each cut. I use a Wahl clipper with combs, good grade scissors, and my desire to keep improving my technique. But sometimes I've thought my dog's cut looks better than mine. Thanks for showing how you deal with the cowlick, which is just like mine. I also now will be brave and cut around my ears. I've been trying to tuck that hair behind my ears but it's awkward. Thank you so much. I'm ready to give up the fight, at 74, and enjoy the journey. I'm off to cut my hair now!
I love what you did with your own hair cut. I am 81 years old and I have always cut and permed my own hair since I was an adult. I have some arthritis in the shoulders now but I may try this short cut when it isn't bothering me so much. Thanks for giving me an easy style to try. I've always told myself that whatever I screw up will grow back. lol! I'm Dorothy in Texas.
I've watched this video 3 times now and I THINK I'm ready to do it! I'll let you now how I've done.
Now I just need to learn how to color my own hair!
What size is the clip you attached on clippers can you tell me pls?
@@lupemattison9936 She said the largest.... Gosh brave xx
I’ve been disappointed with hairdressers so there have been times especially when I had no time with kids and working put in not pixie looking like long hair really but it was looking silly and old on me so keep the top longer and back short looked good but my hair dresser retired don’t trust any one els so going back to self styling
I am 74 and just followed your instructions. I love the results. I am very happy with it now and will get better with practice. Thanks for giving me the confidence to try.
Excellent!!
YOU are a DOLL!! I cut my own hair and have for years (I’m 70). I have used thinning shears cautiously 😁 but have never been brave enough to use the electric clippers. My older sister will trim up the back for me every six weeks or so. I LOVE your style. It is so cute with you face shape. Thank you for this video!
I am licensed hairdresser and cut my on hair for very long time. I am 70 and have been cutting mine since I was about 14. I also keep mine short. I do have a girl that buzzes it in back.😂You are adorable..Love your haircut.
3 hours choosing which clippers, 3 hours watching videos of how to use them - 10 minutes to cut my hair! This video was one of the most useful I watched - Thanks
I've literally been cutting my own hair (the style is called a chelsea, short all over, long bangs and tiny long side burns) since 1981. It's truly not that hard, and you have to have the attitude, "It's just hair, it will grow back"
I cut my hair myself, and I’ve been wanting a complete buzz cut and I thought we’ll after 8 years of DIY it’s back to the salon… Nope! Thanks to you I’ll continue my own hair styling and for free! Lol you’re so beautiful! Thank you for this amazing helpful tutorial! :) ♥️
I've been rocking a buzz cut for 6 years now, and it was the best thing I've ever done!
Thank heaven I've finally found an honest to goodness REAL woman to give me a how to. NOT a 22 yr old Instagram model. Ty ty ty
I have had a pixie for over 12 years and never in my life would I have considered cutting my own hair but the global pandemic changed that. I have ordered clippers and shears and can't wait for them to get here. When you are used to your hair super short any growth really gets to you. It is like the opposite of women with really long hair trying to preserve each centimeter of hair. I can't wait to cut mine. Thank you for this!
What clippers did you get and do you like them?
@@maryterhune7447I got the Wahl Professional Designer clippers and love them. Also the shears recommended-regular and texturizing. The ONLY good thing to come out of this pandemic for me is the freedom of cutting my own hair. I love it! Thanks again to Carmen for giving me the confidence and info to do this.
@@megaaquarius Thanks! Me too. Want to be able to cut my own pixie.
@@megaaquarius Are they the red ones and cordless? So many choices. Can you send picture?
@@maryterhune7447 Mine has a cord.
Thank you for this demonstration. I'm 70, and just when I was trying to grow my hair out in a bob, my gray hair turned very white and kinky in the back and curly on one side only. Good grief! I also have cowlicks. But watching you be so brave, I did the big chop and copied your cut. It was the answer to fighting the chaos.
this is the cut for you then. When my mother's Gray hair turned white it was a weird type of kinky hair that I hate to this and I'm sorry look like pubic hair and she had a few in the front that looked exactly the same she would yank them out by the root I swear! She passed away a couple of months ago which which leaves me as the last living family member and she was 86 but not afraid to say what her hair looked like. I think a bob would require too much care with hair dryers and round brushes. Take care and have a healthy happy and prosperous New Year!
I am 70 as well and am trying to grow my hair out fromi a very short haircut. It takes a long time to get it long enough for a short bob once it has been cut around the ear. I have cut my hair often but not sure how I would feel about mine being that short. The gray/dark would show up too quicky. I usually color mine a platinum blonde only once in six months and it doesn't show the natural too badly. Going to a hairdresser is expensive with little cash when you are old.
I am 70 as well and keep my hair short but with an asymmetrical cut. I love it with that little bit of style. I don't like boring hair at my age. I refuse to look like a clone of the blue hair old ladies gang lol. I use to be a hairstylist and cut my hair for many many years.
good for you!!!!
Whitewolf has
I used to be a beautician many years ago (approx. 45 years) and still know how to cut hair. I have always cut my own hair and I keep it fairly short. The only time I cut it this short was when I quit coloring it and let my gray hair loose! I also still cut my husband and my son’s hair. Saved a lot of money over the years too!
Diane Johanson when I quit cutting hair for a living I did not pick up another pair scissors ✂️ lol
I too am an ol hairdresser that cuts her own hair. I love your video. Great job. I love the freedom and the feel of short hair. It does feel honest. Hair is silly.
Well, I’m a bit late to the game! I’ve worn a pixie for just about 20 years since I went prematurely white, but I’ve always had a stylist do it when I was working. My hair is a bit fine texture and has strong wave and cowlicks, so a good cut was always made my hair manageable. Fast forward, grew out the color and that’s when I went into a pixie. Retired now, moved away from my favorite stylist and after watching a few YT vids decided that I could do this myself! I do and I love it! Watching your video has helped me level up my skills as well as giving me more confidence in my decision to be my own stylist. The only thing I regret is not doing this sooner, like back in 2020 with all the lockdowns! If anyone is reading this in late 2023 and is not sure they want to take the plunge, I say “do it!” Thanks Carmen!
Only one extra tip to add to the Best Pixie Cutting video ever. You made me brave. One tip from me after cutting my knuckles with the shears more than once (ouch!)- flip your hand holding your hair, so when you cut with the shears, you are cutting against the inside of your hand, not against your knuckles. No more bandaids.
Thank You Carmen!
Keep at it, now that you have the skill there will be less blood next time!
What a great video! You are very engaging on camera. I found myself watching all the way to end. I have been cutting my own hair for 15 years in a 90 degree cut that is about 5" long. It's fun, much less time consuming than going to a salon and free! I get a lot of complements on my hair. Women will come up to me in public and ask me where I get my hair cut. I say, "In my bathroom!"
I've been learning how to cut my own hair on UA-cam for a whole day, you made the best video on DIY short haircut for ladies, I will try it today.
Hi I luv Carmen's hair and want mine about in inch long all over got the long sweep now as I am growing out a mess and have no hairstylist and am broke. Was going to BUZZ a la Zen nun but I am not 25 so I chickened out. I want it like Jean Seberg's in Joan of Arc (google it!). If you have success will you come to my place? Carmen is trained and has 40 yrs (how, she looks so young!) experience. Good luck (wish my last stylist would watch her, she never spent that long and the lousy copper dye always RAN and it was permanent and supposedly good quality and I tip good but I finally got fed up. Merry Christmas and Happy New Year. I hope you end up with a look you luv. Being short is great, virtually no shampoo, goop and colouring is easier and no tips or rage etc!
How did it go?
@@ChristyMurphyWriter Hi Christy, I started to trim my hair since that day after watch Carmen's video over and over, not the professional cut yet, but I enjoyed it very much, so convenient! My advice would be, just trim a little bit for the first time, you can do more after get use to the scissor or the trimmer's movement from the mirror.
I’ve been licensed since ’84. And for many years worked as a barber. Then studied with the top colorist in the 90’s. I’ve done it all, and to myself. From hot pink Mohawk in the 80’s to bleach blond shaved in the 90’s and even hair to my rear end 🤪 And now I can see what I look like when I cut my hair in my bathroom. 😉 I now have the jaw length bob with baby bangs. It takes me about 5 min to do my hair, but I’m so tempted to go back to this. It’s a fun cut for those hot summer days and still feel put together. Thanks for the inspiration, you are adorable. 😉
Thanks so much for the step by step tutorial with very good instructions. I am 74 y/o and I cut my gray hair very short. But I decided I want a bit of style. No other hairdresser can do it for me. I am so pleased to have found your video. I shall be copying your hairstyle style very soon. And I am a minimalist. :)
When I first saw you I thought “What the heck is she going to cut!!!” I thought it was perfect! But you do a really good job.
My hair is actually shorter than yours, so you know how irritating it can be when it gets "long". I wasn't able to go to my last appointment before the whole pandemic started. Now we're a couple of weeks into this and I was loosing control. Watched your video last night and learned so much. Your calm presentation & clear instructions gave me the confidence to just go for it today. I was amazed at the result. I'm sure future attempts will only get better and better. THANK YOU SO MUCH!!!
okie0915 doing the same today. My hair is uber short but my appointment was cancelled and hair is beginning to move with the shampoo. Wish me luck🌿
nancy graney you can do it!!!🥳
AH! So glad I found this video.. I keep my hair extremely short also.. used to getting a haircut once a week.. its only been 2 weeks but its driving me nuts already. Figured I would try to learn how to do it myself! Going to try it tonight..wish me luck!
Y'aaall, my hair is starting look like a chia pet!! 😳 That's why I'm watching this so next week when my clippers arrive, I can do this!! Yeah! I'll either look good or y'all can start calling me Sinead O'Connor! 🤦♀️ It can go either way!! 👨🦲😂😂 Great video and I can't wait till next week! Woooohooo! 😊
@@barbkeen1221 What clippers did you order??I too want to get a set!!!
Oops, I forget to put the #3 clip on before cutting the back! Unusual look for a 73 year old! Nicely done video. Thanks so much.
This was the best tutorial on hair cutting ever. You have such a great attitude, too. Thank you for sharing.
Thank you for the video.Im gonna try to cut my own hair.My hair is short and I don't have much due to Cancer.I lost it all at one time,so it came back in thin.Thank God I have what I got.
I cut my hair as well. I can do exactly what I want. You just gave me a whole bunch of new tips I’ll be using without the trial and error method I use. People always give me compliments. They say they could never do it. I always respond, it’s just hair. It grows back! Thank you! This was really helpful.
I am 62 years old with my hair below my waist. Seems like it’s thinning and I am grey down to my shoulders . I so want to do this ! My kids and grandson will have a fit but I am ready for a drastic change . I love it 💗
I think silver hair is ultra sexy in a super short style, and you can mix a little color in your conditioner and give it a pastel hue from time to time. Go for it! You may even be able to donate your hair.
Good!
Did you do it?
I use to wear my hair to please others & when I Started Thinking for Myself I did a Self Aware Turning point that I wish more Women would do.. My husband Never Offered to comb my waist length hair & after I asked him to finish braiding my long braid.. well it was the Last time I did that.. LoL after Donating my hair to Locks of Love I Started keeping my hair shorter.. I DO IT FOR ME ! Be Brave and Become a New You that you will Love.. It's SOOO Worth it.. and You will be less stressful of What Others will Think of how you should look. You are the Only YOU that you can Be.. Life's too short to Please Others 😉
Carmen Shenk , where did you get the purple color, and what shade is it?
This is the BEST tutorial for this process I have ever watched! Thank you so much! I think I can do this!!!!
I know you can!
I've been cutting my own short hair for over a yr. It's been a learning experience and a few times I got a little overly aggressive w/the buzzer; however, my mantra is, "It will grow back!" I've learned more today re. the thinning shears and wetting the hair first which I'll implement on my next cut. Sometimes I cut mine at the beach right next to my car so when I'm done, I cover the cut hair w/the sand and then jump into the ocean ... viola! ... no muss, no fuss:) Mahalo for your excellent video!!!
I've just had my hair cut like this and honestly I don't think I'll ever let it grow out again..
I am a,licensed hairdresser of 40 yrs,and I must say- you did a great job on your haircut.
Gorgeous (and you have SUCH a pretty face). I used a #6 on my whole head, then regular haircutting scissors over the ears. Left the neckline natural. I've LOVED it and am now planning to grow the front a bit longer than the rest. Thanks for your teaching; I'll get some thinning shears for when I grow the front out some more.
Where were you when I wore my hair like that for 18 years! I could have used this terrific knowledge! Now my hair is medium length. All one length, which I find is easier than short hair. No regular hair cuts. Wash and wear. Rarely do I use a blower or iron or anything. All I need sometimes is a hair band to put up!
You definitely have the cute face to wear this style!
You're like the Bob Ross of hair cutting 😁 lol. God bless you
She is, isn't she! :D Love it!
I literally had that exact same thought!! Lol!!
I started doing my own like 3yearsago i called my fruend asked her to bring methe cliooers...she was like ohhhlawddd..
It turned out good but boy ive done some cuts that id wear a bandana from behind n tie at too for it lil bit yo it grew back too
🤣🤣🤣
Can't wait to try. Quarantine sucks. Going bald, bad hair loss. Way past 6weeks since my last cut. Need to cut my hair soon. If men can go bald women can too! Keeping it short till there is nothing left. Thanks for video
Thank you. I think you will be helping many of us through social isolation.
Thank you for this. I usually wear my hair longer but my last trim was in February and I attempted a pandemic hair cut. I thought I butchered it but you’ve shown me women can rock super insanely short. Will use your technique to correct mistakes as it grows out. THANK YOU!!!!!!!!!
Hi Carmen, I watch your video almost daily and have been trying to perfect my skills by imitating your demonstration. I cut my hair today and am pretty happy with it. I think each time I cut my hair I will gradually improve. I appreciate you taking the time to do this video!
I just love your video.
I've already ordered clippers as soon as I watched your video, and I've now watched it a few times already.
You're SO calm and come across as a very very nice person 😊
You give off such a great sense of self confidence, and zero arrogance which is wonderful.
I too have short hair, also very thick hair! So with lockdown it's driving me CRAZY!
Thank you so much for making this great instructional video Carmen, it was a pleasure to watch it and learn from you.
Thanks again.
Take care, Stay safe ❤
Hi Carmen. Thank you for this fantastic video. I loaded it onto my iPad four or five months ago and it’s been there ever since! For obvious reasons, hairdressers couldn’t operate in the UK during the height of Lockdown and you gave me the confidence to trim my own hair which is a grown out pixie, it’s now a wedge cut. Unfortunately, I went back to a professional hairdresser a few weeks ago and having told them that I like the style I achieved but just wanted them to tidy it up, they hacked into my top layer that I told them I wanted to keep long! Grrrr! No wonder they failed to pass the mirror around to show me that part! I know hair grows back but I feel that I went into the salon looking better than when I came out! I have just invested in a new pair of cordless clippers and doubt I’ll bother with a salon ever again! Thanks again, your video is very much appreciated. Stay safe x
I love short hair and like you i cut my own hair. Always ready to go with no blowdrys ! Especially now as i stopped colouring my hair and completely transitioned. Awesome!
I started cutting my own hair since I’ve been too chronically ill to go out for a haircut, months before the virus hit and I must say it’s the best it’s looked in ages and most importantly feels good. I’ve been watching videos of buzz cuts and side shaves etc. just for the hell of it. I came across your video and I must say you are such a sweetheart and I love your hairstyle. I have long wavy hair so I don’t use the clippers but I use scissors, thinning shears and a razor. I hadn’t thought to use the thinning shears like you do. It’s a great technique. Stay safe gorgeous and thanks for going to the effort of filming and sharing!! Xx
It was easier than I thought it would be. It turned out as well as many haircuts I've paid $ for! Thanks for the encouraging video!
I cut my own hair too. I have natural soft curls and natural platinum hair at 73. I watched some on UA-cam but I have always cut my own hair .Thank you for sharing your hair cutting .I love the ease of it now. My style is more of a shag with curl ..so easy now .
Who’d have thought cutting your own hair was so much fun.....!
I loved my short pixie but I am going for the grow out. I agree that a short cut is easy and carefree. When I wanted that feeling of longer hair on my head I decided to take the journey of growing it out. Its tough ~ the stages of growing out those shaved sides isnt too flattering. After 9 months I finally see my hair starting to emerge again and I am excited to get to a real shoulder length style. Change is fun. I am glad I tried it.
I agree. Growing it out isn't always easy, especially if you want a super simple minimalist style. Thankfully, hair grows pretty quickly. Thanks for the comment.
You are fearless with those clippers 😀😀 you look great. My dog had an anxiety attack when he heard the clippers and ran out of the room.😅😅 he doesn’t like being groomed poor boy. I really enjoyed this video. My hair is in a bob now but it used to be a bit longer than yours so i know how liberating it can be to have short hair. My best wishes to everyone at this difficult time.
Thank you for the video! I used to wear the same cut when I was in the military and in Desert Storm. For years I paid to cut it then stopped and began growing it out naturally. Now once again I am not liking it long or in my version shoulder length. I think now I am ready to cut it super short again and saving this video so when I pick up my thinning shears I am going to cut it the same way. Again thanks for the DIY! I am also a minimalist so this is going to help and I will be able to save from having to pay upwards $20 or so dollars. You're great! Oh and besides it is just hair lol!
Had my hair cut two weeks ago, can’t stand long hair. Like you I can’t be bothered with hair dryers, straighteners etc (did have long hair as a teenager) plus I was a teenager in the 80’s and had a perm and used so much hairspray, wax, gel etc. Cost me a bomb. Now I’m 51 and have had short hair over twenty years ( you may be able to see it in my picture). A lot like yours. I go to the hairdressers every 6-8 weeks as my hair grows very fast especially on the top. Now after seeing your video I’m thinking of getting myself some hair clippers already got hairdressing scissors and sheers and doing it myself. Would save me a lot of money. Your tutorial was very easy to follow and understand. Going to wait a bit longer until I do it myself though as I have only just had my hair cut. A bit scared using hair clippers, but I’m going to do it. If it doesn’t work out I can always shave my hair off, which is something I’ve always wanted to do anyway. So it’s a win win situation. Thank you for posting this and wish me luck. By the way I’m from the Uk (Liverpool) x
Bea-Lou I’m also 51 and have worn my hair short in recent years. I know you can do it, just take your time and don’t be scared. You got this!
Carmen Shenk
Hi Carmen thanks for advice, I will definitely take my time and go really slowly. I must admit I am nervous, but what the hell you only life once. Still got quite a few weeks to go though before it starts getting longer.
WITH THIS PANDEMIC GOING ON IT HAS BEEN RECOMMENDED TO STAY AWAY FROM SALON'S & BARBER SHOPS FOR A GOOD WHILE. YOU HAVE SHOWN HOW TO CUT ONES OWN HAIR IN AN EASY EXPLAINED MANNER. I THINK MY FIANCEE' AND I CAN DO THIS CUT. THANK YOU.
I've always colored, bleached & highlighted my hair myself. But lately, I've not been able to find a stylist that can do a good pixie. I watched ur video, had all the tools & cut my hair into the nicest pixie I've had in over 10 years. I'm thrilled with the result. Ty so much for sharing! I'll never go to a salon again for this look. 😍🤗💕
I used your video to cut my own hair and it’s been a great success.
What a great video, I really enjoyed it . I've been cutting my hair since the '60's. I got tired of paying someone to cut it and I would have to come home and fix it.
Ann Spence , this.
Me, too! I started cutting and coloring my own hair since the '60s. The few times I gave in and had it done at a salon was very disappointed. I wish I could take off my head and work on it myself. This tutorial is the best ever! Now if only I could learn how to do the purple bangs. We didn't have that when I went to cosmetology school. Holding scissors and comb was working but arthritis has hampered doing things that way.
❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️ so excited to do this next week, My hair is half way down my back and so dead and gross from being bleached 🤮 I’m over it! Time for a fresh start!! Thank you for posting this tutorial!!! ❤️
Missy Camble your hair will love being healthy again!
It is so nice to have healthy hair again!! I kept it longer in the top part as it’s more my style, but the technique you used and the way you described things was so very helpful! Thank you very much! ❤️
I've worn a pixie for years. I have curly/wavy hair that has a mind of its own and only behaves when its short. Thinning shears, yes !!! My hair is thick too. I like your hair before and after. Very cute. I'm getting my hair cut this week. In a pixie, as usual :) Thanks for the video, you were a delight to watch. Well done ! 🥰💗✝🌞🌛
I’ve cut my own hair for years, largely with clippers. Thank you for showing me FINALLY how to effectively use the texturizing shears I’ve had forever!!
Also, reading through the comments I want to thank all of the women who also cut their own hair and who embrace the ease of short hair. It is really difficult to be the only woman around wearing short hair...not to mention cutting it yourself. You have all given me much needed support (besides my lovely husband) in keeping my hair short and cutting it myself. 💚
This cut looks fabulous on you! I've been cutting my own hair for about 30 years and get a lot of compliments on my short pixie. Sometimes I do "longer" short haircuts and they look good too but I just cannot stand scraggly hair and am anxious to trim it whenever it starts to grow out. I don't have much confidence in myself with clippers, so I don't use them except to trim the hairline. Thanks for the tutorial; I learned some good tips.
I love that cut on you! I can tell it’s who you are.
I was green with envy throughout this entire video, and totally enraptured Your hair and personality are both sassy! I keep my hair short and would LOVE to have it as short as yours. I love how easy you make it look. I know my reality will be far different, but I'm determined to try. I ordered both types of shears today....I'll keep you posted.
You look soooooo good in that style. I wish I could wear it but don't think it would look good on me. But this is a fantastic video. The best I've seen on DIY anything! Your instructions are clear and concise and even though I can't wear my hair that short I learned some really great techniques. Thank you so much!!!
You are too cute, and your haircut suits you perfectly!
You do a great job!
I just cut my hair using your method. I love it!!!!
Since the pandemic, I've been TRIMMING my hair. Today I cut about 1 and a half inch off. I normally have a modified pixie, meaning it's not as short as yours. But you have given me hope that I can do this myself!! Thank you! You are patient, cheerful and a great instructor.
It's been 3 years now since I followed your instructions in this video, it all started because your encourgements every step of the way in your video. Thank you so much.
Just cut my own hair for the first time ever - though I've rescued bad cuts in the past, and used to do my boys' hair maybe 40 years ago! Watched your excellent video twice before taking the plunge with my husband's clippers... now waiting for arrival of thinning shears, but pretty pleased with first go!
Thanks so much for this tutorial!! This is exactly what I was looking for!!! I’ve had long hair my whole life. It’s been every color in every style. I finally chopped it off two months ago and now I want it shorter and less fuss. You’re GORGEOUS!!! Thanks again!!
I love it..I use to cut my hair myself like that for yrs..I let it grow for a while now I think im gonna do that cut again..thank you.. you did an awesome job. Thanks for sharing ❤
I liked the before, but you absolutely rock the shorter too! Been cutting myself for a year now❤
Thank you so much! I always cut my long hair myself, then decided to chop it off myself. I've gotten two professional haircuts since which have been so hard to stomach at 40€ a pop! I'm getting myself clippers and trying this TODAY!
great job! looks so professional. i have been cutting my own hair for ten years and i have the thinning shears but have hardly used them. i will definitely try it. thank you for your video.
I cut my hair this way using the same tools and method and loved it too. My hair is a lovely, natural light silver. Since I am hitting 69 this year I let it grow out below my shoulders one last time. I like it but it takes more time and work. This is a last little hair fling before I go shorter again. You are a delightful young lady and this was so much fun to watch. It looks fantastic on you. Thank you for sharing this.
I used to cut my own hair years ago. I eventually grew it out but after watching you I may have to try it again. Great video. Thank you.
What your doing with the thinning shears is actually sculpturing the style they work awesome for that 👍🏼 I love they easy style and I it looks amazing on you
Thank you so much! I just cut my hair for the first time (quarantined and my hair was driving me nuts) and used your tutorial for the cut. It turned out really good! Thanks for the encouragement and content
I watched this video several months ago, but I was not brave enough to give it a go. I wear my hair really short as well. I was desperate to cut it after going 3 months without a cut. I did purchase a 3 way lighted mirror to make it easier, but I have to tell you, I am pumped! I gave myself my first haircut today following your instructions, and I will never go back to the hairdresser. This video is so good, and your technique is so simple to follow. Thank you so much, Carmen! Nothing feels better than getting all that hair off my neck.
Love love short hair, it is so mod and chic women not to mention youthful. Great haircut on you and I love simple hair i.e. no curlers, hair dryer, styling irons, etc. Just out the door. Thank you for sharing the video and warm regards from Texas
I love it! The part where your clippers fell and dangled on you is so me.😂. I had this haircut in the winter last year, regretted it and wigged it all year. Now I want it again. So honest because you just know I’m lying with this wig girl!
Aw honey, wigs are just another way to express creativity! I went to a big-deal-gala recently, donned my best wig. The darling lady beside me looked at me and told me she would give anything for hair like mine. I came THIS CLOSE to whipping that thing off my head and handing it to her. Having fantastic hair is easy with a wig, and there are so many amazing kinds these days. Enjoy your pixie, enjoy your wigs!
I just got through cutting my hair! For the first time cutting my hair in your style..I love it.. I got nervous while doing it ...but it turned out real good. Thank you!
I am so happy to find someone that is so like me with cutting your own hair so that it looks neat and modern without the fuss.
This video helped me so much!!! Stuck at home now this gave me so many tips. You are an angel. 💜💜
Thanks so much for this SUPER-HELPFUL video! I normally wear my hair just a touch longer than yours and was overdue for a trim when the pandemic hit and stay-at-home orders kicked in. I've been working from home for the past 3 1/2 months with my hair slowly growing into a shaggy, unbearable mess. After watching you tackle your cut with such ease, I ordered some thinning shears to go with my clippers and took it all off this afternoon. Feels so much better!
Just tried your cut today and totally work! Thank you so much for sharing this simple and amazing diy! Wish you all the best!
Thanks for this detailed video of how to cut your own hair! I have referred to the video multiple times over the past 2 years, and now I am confident about cutting my own curly hair - and one way to keep my curls under control was through your video. I purchased 2 quality scissors and cutter. Having the correct tools also helps ... Thanks again
Great tips to use thinning shears and pull hair out as I cut. I have underused mine and will definitely use all your techniques. Your tutorial teaches me how to cut hair in the back without fear !! Yes... GIVE UP THE FIGHT !! Thanks for sharing
Love it🇨🇦❤️ I always put an old sheet on the floor and over the sink.All you have to do is roll the sheet up and shake the sheet out!!!
That's how I cut hair in college. I'd lay out a sheet, cut someone's hair, then clean up was super easy (because I wasn't the one doing laundry!) LOL!
I have the exact same hair cut. I have always been a snipper. Because of the pandemic I learned how to shave it around and cut the top. The shears have made the difference. I get so many compliments on my cut and color. After chemo 14 years ago my color came in snow white. People are shocked when I tell them I cut my own hair. I do use a hair dryer and some product. I'm done in 3 minutes.
I have cut my hair since I was 17. Every so often I go to a stylist and get it cut just to sort of get it shaped up if needed. You did a great job. I wear mine really short also. So easy to do. Wet it and comb it every morning.
Thanks for the tip on how to use the thinning/texturizing scissors effectively, to get a better taper. I have really thick hair so paring it down is very important, even when really short. I've been cutting my own hair since high school, almost 50 years; buying the clippers a decade or so ago has made it so much easier. I agree about being really careful if one wants to try a self-razor cut.
I have been cutting my own hair short for years and wanted to get up the courage to use clippers. This video is very well done with two new tricks--to use the thinning scissors and your demo of the clippers for the back. Thanks for taking the time and using the video expertise to make it!
One of the best videos I've ever seen on any topic. I have super super short hair when it's cut properly, but such cuts are hard to find where I live. You've inspired me to give it a go (I already do a little trimming on my own out of frustration). Thank you so much!
I completely understand the desire to stop fighting your hair. Been doing that all my life. Got a pixie a few months ago love it. You actually look just like one of my hairstylists!
Thank you very much. I have been through multiples of videos trying to find the right one to explain it. Thank u. Very simple
I've been cutting my own hair for a very long time now. Started when I was about 7. LOL!
But kidding aside, your technique is bang on... pretty much sam as I do when I cut very short. Recently I've been cutting it into more of a pixie bob. Got MANY compliments on it. Excellent video!
This was so good. I also cut my own hair and have the thinning shears.
You've just shown me how best to use them. You look fabulous!
By far the best short-hair cutting video I've seen! Thank you.
Wow absolutely brilliant, wish my hairdresser would watch this video and she would actually do this for me but she never wants to be this dramatic for some reason!!!! Well done Paula in UK x
Paula Laye hmmm... here’s your chance to try out the drama!
I love your hair. I wish I could be brave enough to wear mine that short. Such freedom. 😀
It only takes one snip of the scissors... then it's not about courage anymore. If this hair is a part of the life you want to live, then SNIP!
This was on my bucket list to do when I got older. Then came the virus and I have decided it's time to cross it off of my list! Hair is hair, it will grow back and I don't have to work till May, so why not? Start with a few inches off and next thing you know, you'll have short hair! Worse case scenario for me, I end up looking like Sinead O'Connor! 👨🦲😳😂😂😂 No regrets! ❤💇♀️💇♀️
Do it you wont regret it
I cut my short hair too. Like yours, but a little spiky on top. I look great! Thanks for the encouragement.
I too wear my hair short...actually buzzed on the sides and back... I love this presentation... I'm going to pick up those shears today! You are beautiful Thanks again! 😍
One thing that adds to the way this haircut is so attractive on you is because you have the cutest little pixie face! I don't think it would look that good on me.
I have needed this video for decades! Must try this NOW! Thank you!
