    so I was having a mental breakdown and did this on a whim...I’ve never had a good relationship with my hair so I thought screw it. I followed this tutorial and omg my hair actually turned out so much better than I expected! Sure it’s not perfect but you can’t really tell. I feel so much better and don’t regret this at all.

People often compliment my hair but I am not exactly the attractive type. I feel exhausted of all the things this world has to offer and now I don't think anything matters at all. So I am just gonna chop them off.

So far I’m super pleased and I think it looks great!! I can’t believe you gave me the guts to do it myself since I can’t afford an appointment right now and I was sick of the split ends and upkeep!

    You are soo cute! I am a mom of two boys, it’s hard to get in the salon for myself! So I often get frustrated and bust out my haircutting scissors and give myself a trim (bob as well 😉). My best tip is to leave it a bit longer than you’d like in case you royally mess up and need a professional to fix it 😅. I currently cut both my boys’ hair, but cutting my own hair is more challenging. I do find the blunt bob cut pretty straightforward and adding some upward texture does help make it more forgiving. You look lovely w short hair ♥️

    Some people suit short hair so well. I grew my hair till knee length and kept it till there for 1 year. I grew my hair 8+ years barely trimming. I got so tired until 2 years ago i cut it as short as yours i felt the happiest. Also then i realised how better i looked in short hair. People told me it suits my face😭I'm not going long hair again ever now. It's manageable, brushing and washing is easier also if you're a gym person things are 10x easier my braid would always bother me. Buns would be too heavy for my head and drying my hair would take 6+ hours (natural air dry) my roots would still be wet it was hard taking care of thaat long hair. Short hair for life now.

    That animation was so cute! How did you make it?
    I usually cut my own hair too (a standard cut in Sydney is $120...) but I cut it all in one go. I'm not going quite as short as you though-
    And at the moment, am growing mine out for the wedding 👰🏻

    • @EllenandTara
      @EllenandTara  7 років тому

      @EllenandTara  8 років тому

      +Amanda Hills you can do it! Just make sure you cut it a bit longer than you want just in case you need to trim any off to get it even and you'll be fine :) - Tara

    Thank you for your video. I just recently had a bad hair experience at a hairdresser/stylist that I've known for years. And instead of doing a hair bob she gave me a more of what a barber would do. Not happy at all, now I have decided to stay away from her awhile and to let my hair grow out and when it gets more grown out, I'll come back to your tutorial and try to do a hair bob myself. Thank you for your tutorial.

    Imagine "did a full 180°" audio playing on loop as you read my comment
    "I want to cut my hair short"
    "I'm too shy to tell my mom"
    "I'll just do it in secret"
    "But how will she react?"
    "But what is the worst thing she could do to me, it's not like it's illegal"
    "What if i do it wrong?"
    "I live only once"
    "But what if i regret it?"
    "I'm just gonna watch videos to do it right"
    "But I'm scared. I'll just leave it."
    *back to the first sentence, read over and over again until you understand my dilema*
    Okay i told my mom and she completely hates the idea. I lied to her that i wanted the shoulder lenght and she was shocked. She said ok but was still horrified and what would she do if i told her i want it to be like Grace VanderWaal's hair in City song. Someone kill me pls

    • @hannajames2181
      @hannajames2181 4 роки тому +1

      This is a late response, but, if you cut it unevenly, you can get it fixed. Hair grows back and I'm sure you would look *amazing* with Graces VanderWaal's haircut in city song! Those are my haircut goals too haha. It makes me sad when parents are so controlling over their children's hair and bodies. It's your hair and you can do what you want with it! That being said, I don't know your specific situation so do what you need to do to stay safe at home and remember you won't live under her roof forever

    Congrats on a short informative video that gets straight to the point. I was hoping to find tips on cutting your own hair in videos that weren't too long, and this is definitely beyond my expectations. Tried it, and I am really happy with the result! :) I had never cut my own hair and of course I made a few mistakes but practice makes perfect, right? Besides money, saves a lot of time and it's also a lot of fun!
