'avoid triangle hair'... I feel attacked haha I've been a triangle for way to long lmao
😂😂😂 only if you don’t like it haha you can be whatever shape you wanna be boo 😜😘
@@melindab oh I didn't like it at all haha I just recently had the guts to get layers in my 2a waves and I'm IN LOVE. Left the triangle live behind haha
Julia Wenten haha that’s awesome! Layers make the biggest difference!🖤
I love the triangle! I call it the Xmas tree
Phsst me too...since the 90s
I didn't even know this was a thing... Then I saw the pictures and I was like OMG THIS IS ME HELP
Same 😂
same here. best thing i ever did was to get an undercut. I.m so happy I did it
Anna z I have an undercut too but my hair is so thick that it literally makes no difference at all
Anna z I’ve considered an undercut because my hair is so thick. What is the maintenance like? Did you get it done at the salon or at home?
girl same
Her: show these pictures to your stylist
Me, cutting my own hair while watching the video: 👁👄👁
😂😂😂
DUDE 😂
SAME.
Sames
@@melindab I'm also crazy like that, and my sister-in-law is a hairdresser 🙈
You have an 80s shag. You're so lucky to find a stylist who can/will do this. I gave up and cut my hair myself now.
I know, when I was in high school no stylist had problem doing it but now... I tink no hair stylist has made me the correct cut in like 8 years
A small business barber shop cut my shag and it only took like 18 minutes and it came out really good
@@anasofiaparrag9549 yes! The razor always got me the best result. Now they use those thinning shears and make one blunt cunt that barely blends OR thins.
Everybody is afraid of taking away the volume.
Same here!
I’m glad I’m not the only one who refers to this as triangle hair! Finally got a style that looks good. We did a mullet-shag and it works well for me!
i cut my hair into a mullet shag last night and my hair has never looked better!!
You literally have the same hair as her😂
I call it poodle hair
Show how to do the mullet-shag! It’s been 3 months since you wrote this comment, so you hair has already grown enough to cut it for a tutorial
My hairstylists have ALWAYS told me I'm crazy for wanting super short layers!! THANK YOU!!! When you have 5 heads' worth of hair, you NEED THESE!
AH I feel so seen.
Yay!🖤🖤 glad this helped 🤗
when i was growing up i kept asking for layers because i had the triangle head problem and every time my mom or the stylist would be like "are you sure? you won't be able to braid it anymore, it'll just puff up around your head," etc etc and i was a perpetually indecisive 14 year old so of course i just listened to them but i was so frustrated every time and i've never felt so vindicated than right now
Yes ! And you can still braid long layers
ME TOOOO
@@jennyrose9454 I've always been scared of getting really short layers cause I neeedddd to put my hair up and get it off my shoulders cause I'm always annoyed by it lmao I have gotten many cuts with long layers but I still get the triangle look :(
@@alwaysreadin163 maybe let the shorter pieces dangle or use Bobby pins when you put it up?
@@jennyrose9454 I need to learn how to use bobby pins but that could be an option! 😂 thanks for the recommendation :)
As someone with the same hair type but a round face, make sure you get the shortest layer cut to below your cheekbones.
THANK YOUUU OMG you just saved my life!!
Omg yes, made this mistake with my last are cut the other week. Let me tell you, it does not look great
Alison Reyes i’m a bit confused :/ i have a round face but i don’t understand how cutting the shortest layer cut below the cheekone would help? does that mean that you shouldn’t have the shortest layer shorter than that or longer than that? 🌼
I'm sorry I'm not good at English and i can't able to understand which haircut you're advising us to have😭 i really want a picture of that haircut you're talking about
Thank you sm for this tip❤️
i had never heard of triangle hair but as soon as i saw the pictures i related to it immediately. this video might have just saved me lol
Sedna Awh yay!
Triangle hair... The only thing my hair can actually do.
-seesaw- kpop omg 😂😂
I ALWAYS tell hair stylist's that this is the cut I want and they never want to do it. But I know that's what I like and what looks good. They always think its going to be a mullet 🤣. But I was part of the scene days and I know it looks good on my face. So you're not alone. Love the color by the way! 😍 thanks for the video! 🧡
yes a little reminiscent of the scene days :)
this is sooo true. some of them are only thinking whats best for straight hair. they wouldnt believe me. 🥲
That initial haircut was SO chic!! Your natural color is also very beautiful.
watching this with my triangle hair 👁👄👁
I can't believe I've never heard of this haircut before, you literally just saved my hair 💕
rocio gomez Awh yay!🖤🖤
So nice to have found a 2A-B wavy with thick (a lot of) and med-coarse hair! That cut looks great! I always want that, and stylists just barely separate a few layers at the bottom, not throughout like I'm looking for
I’ve been cutting my own hair like this ever since reading that Stevie Nicks used to pull her hair straight up and cut it. And it works. I’ve had people compliment me and ask where I got it cut.
On my way, running with scissors, to try this. Thanks!
Triangle hair Tip: Even if your hair is looking triangle on a middle part try wearing it side parted after it is dry. It gives the illusion of a much fuller and voluminous hair
omg..this is why I don't like middle parts on me 😂😂 I've been hiding my triangle hair all my life 😅
I wish my 14 yr old triangle hair would do a side part...so dislike the triangle middle part hair...oyoy
Mine just puffs up on one side and the other side is completely flat :,(
Last time I trusted somebody with my curly hair, I told them I wanted some layers for volume, and I ended up with POODLE EARS 😭 On. My. Head. ☠️ Literally I had two very DISTINCTLY different lengths of hair, where the top layer was triangle hair!! And then the bottom continued down and was all one length, straight across. I looked like I was wearing a bob wig sitting right the frick on top of long hair 🤡🤡
Oh no
Omg this is what happened to me in October, I'm still growing the poodle ears out lmao I'm so fed up with it
This happened to me too! I wanted it cut short and with layers, so they did one layer above my ears and one just below my shoulders - I looked like lord farquad from shrek!
are they stylists or demons? I don't notice the difference 😂
Rachel Wharton THATS HOW I LOOK SINCE ONE YEAR! Still growing it out🤮😭
Yes! Earlier this month I went to a salon and showed the stylist older pics of scene hair and my hair definitely thanked me lol. It was definitely wavier after the cut, even the side that is normally more flat was just as wavy as the other side!
A hair dresser cut my hair like this to get rid of damage because it was mostly on the top layers and it was really fried. I LOVED it and thought I should just ask for layers but I havent gotten a hair dresser to do it again and I didnt know how to describe it or what to ask for THANK YOU SO MUCH
i've never seen someone with hair that looked SO similar to mine! the thickness, the amount, the wave pattern - yes! gave myself a pretty nice mullet during quarantine but will definitely be saving this for the future :)
This is so helpful!! My hair is really similar to yours and it’s SO DIFFICULT to find reference photos for hair cuts. Thanks for sharing!!
Yay! No problem! Thanks for watching 🥰
Thickness describes the diameter of each hair. Density is the amount of hair per square inch on your head 😉
Thank you!! Haha I always get it confused!
Finally!!! Someone with the triangle issue. I always tell the place that cuts my hair I utterly loathe the 'dog ears'. Had ONE cut one time the stylist said 'Thats a scene haircut' but a bit longer. I wear my hair down and let it do its wavy thing or in a ponytail for work. Love the length and the layers!! Im a bum no blowdrying or anything all natural. Love it!! Thank you😊🌹🌻🔆
Okay wait, I literally got this haircut like a month and a half ago and hatedddd it because she cut my layers WAY too short. Now I know this is really a thing, she just cut mine too short!! I’ve been wearing it up since I got it cut but now it’s grown out and settled down and I wore it natural today and it looks so much better! It’s so full and voluminous! Oh thank god hahaha thanks for this video that made me retry wearing my hair down 🙌🏼
Pasha Gibson hahah good!! I’m glad it helped 😜
Ive been trying to tell the lady that cuts my hair that i need a cut that doesnt make my hair a triangle and she keeps telling me that short layers will give me too much volume and thatll make my hair ugly so i always end up w/ the triangle hair and at this point i hate my hair a little bit lol and i'm desperate so thanks for this vid
Relate!! My hairstylist didn’t want to give me any layers because he said my hair will be to puffy on top but now I definitely have TRIANGLE HAIR ugh. They just don’t understand curly hair 😒
@@rightwaydown lets hope we can find better hairstylists this year😭
What I've learned is that, a lot of ppl and hair salons relate wavy/curly hair with unprofessional hair, that's why they don't like to make certain hair cuts or they don't learn the proper way to cut curly hair.
Sammeee
It’s so nice to hear I’m not alone! I have wavy/curly hair and bangs. It’s so hard to find inspirational pictures of girls with similar hair. I’m so glad I found you lol.
I just got my hair cut like this two days ago for the first time and I love it! I definitely found that my waves seem to be more defined now and look much better!! And I finally have some volume at my crown instead of being flat!
I call my triangle hair "lampshade hair", I have a terrible haircut right now and I can't wait to get one like this when quarantine is over.
I call mine the mushroom lol x my last stylist cut my hair soooo blunt across the bottom and it's horrendous. I can't wait for my first post quarantine cut. It's so in need. X
I have wavy hair almost like hers and I was always afraid to put layers in it because I thought it would be too voluminous but it was the best thing I ever did, my hair grows slow so getting the dryer ends off really helped too, now is in way better condition. I air dry my hair and use clips at the crown to create root lift so not damaging it.
omg, I asked you about your haircut like a month ago because I struggle with my hair and you actually made a whole video about it I'm- that's what a blessing looks like, thank you
Awh yay you’re welcome!
I HAVE A TRIANGLE HEAD
😂😂 that’s okay if you love it!😜 be your triangle self
I needed this video. I knew my hair looked off and too heavy on the bottom. I couldn’t describe it, but you just did, a triangle haircut. I have that type of haircut and I like your example and explaining. Thank you for this video! 🙏🏽💖
You said "janky"!!! My heart. Instant subscriber.
Back when I was about 13 I had no idea I had wavy hair and cut it into a one length bob...biggggg mistake. It was so triangular and as I was so young it took me ages to realise why my hair looked so ridiculous and wouldn't lie flat like most girls with short hair. xDDD
Omg 😂😂
i feel you lmaoo, I knew my hair was wavy but I didn't know how to take care of it so when I cut it, I just brushed it out with a boar brush every morning
i looked like lord farquad & a 9 year old at the same time
@@butterflyst11 same haha xD I went from having very long, pretty tame hair to looking like a scarecrow lmaoo. My friend said I looked like Windy Miller, didn't know who that was. Turned out it was a plasticine man who owned a windmill in a kids cartoon 😩 the worst part is his hair looked better 🤣🤣😅😅
YES this was totally me 😂
We are the same person hahah my best friend had beautiful natural straight hair and had this perfect short cut and mine was down to my ass xD then I was like awe that looks cute snip o.o not the same
I'm genuinely obsessed with your hair
OMG your before picture looks exactly like my hair. Mine does the same thing with the heavy bottom perimeter and gets that triangle look. I clicked on your thumbnail because of the before pic. Thanks for posting this video!
I used to think my head had a trapezoid shape but now I know I can definitely try a shag look!! Super edgy and so worth a try!!!
Finally I found someone with my exactly hair texture, volumen and more importan quantity!! I also have a lot of hair 🤩💞
OMG this is EXACTLY what I needed! I got my hair cut shorter back in July and kind of ended up with the dreaded triangle which I HATE! Will definitely show the stylist some of these pics when it gets a little longer & I go again. Thank you!!! ❤️
Omg!! I have this problem all the time with stylist! I have thick hair I like my hair natural . I always try to explain it to them I always get the BS of my hair will staked if I get short layers and they do long layers and end up a triangle. It just feels so wighted down. Never knew how to explain it without them doing a bad dated old hair cut! I love my hair flows and layeri it’s more bouncy. Thank you for this
Jazmin H you’re welcome!🤍🤍
That is my problem too! Ughhh I’m so annoyed. I just paid for yet another cut where i asked to keep the
length & give me lots of layers to take weigh off the bottom ....she gave me long layers and took a ton off the bottom. 😭
I love the haircut is exactly my kind of curls, when it was shorter it looks amazing, the color, the bangs and the curls. I also like bangs but maybe I prefer a little bit larger and not to “rounded” like kind of 80s 90s style. Thanks for your pics, helps a lot!😊
I think I need a similar haircut - my hair is all the same length and i think the weight is making my natural waves not work properly! I have medium thickness hair but LOTS just like you - like several kilos of weight on my head. Once I wore my hair in a bun while I slept and the weight of my hair strained a muscle in my neck...
Let’s bring triangle hair into fashion. 😝
Victoria yesssss!!😂
smh, I feel so vindicated right now. I’ve been talking about the triangle shaped hair forever and everyone’s always told me I was imagining it, lmao. I know I wasn’t but seeing other ppl talk about it feels 💯
Lol same since like middle school but I called it looking like a bell. LMAO
Seriously!!
to be fair ive watch 51 seconds of this vid so far but you are the exact person i want to be like your vibe & your look is everything oml
omg thank u so much for this vídeo, u cannot imagine how hard it is for me to find people with similar hair to mine! It’s so dificult to find haircuts that actually fit my hair!
I totally relate with what u were sayin, my hair is a triangle and I’ve just realized that now! this was really helpful, hopefully I can pull out this hairstyle as good as u!
You look so good with dark hair and light ends!!
i needed this video so badly i noticed recently that i had a “triangle” hair cut from cutting my own hair and ill b definitely showing this to a stylist
Wow! that was THE most informative video i’ve seen about wavy bangs! took the words out of my mouth
Literally crying rn. I needed this video. Thank you so much!
my hair is honestly too thin to make a triangle issue. i have like 4 pieces of hair and get one length blunt cuts bc it makes it look thick
Same same same 💕
I'm somewhere in-between =/ I have too much hair and not enough all at the same time
It's crazy to see someone have such similar hair experiences to mine! exact same thickness & texture, exact same reference photos to show the stylist & ward off the dreaded triangle!!!
I’m so glad this was recommended to me bc this is exactly what I needed
Rachel Kogan yay!!🖤
I thought I had the worst hair ever. No one ever taught me anything abt styling. I focused on clothes n makeup and let my hair look like shit. It would look ok sometimes, never great. I didn't even know it was wavy because it was frizzy, fine and I have a lot. When it'd air dry from swimming in the ocean it would have pretty ringlets, but no body up top. Your videos has changed my life lol I style like you now and got this cut it totally changed the game for me! Ty!!! I finally feel put together and I'm 35 lmao
yes to everything! you look stunning omg
You're so gorgeous and seem like a really down to earth nice person. Instant follow on UA-cam and insta. The pink hair suited you perfectly! Love your style. Have curls too but very thin hair and still was brave enough to show your picture at the salon and ask for the same cut for the bangs. My curls are still frustrating but your videos are helpful! Thanks so much and keep it up :)
Awh thank you so much! That’s so sweet🖤🖤 hopefully your curls will improve, just keep experimenting with different products and application techniques! You’ll get there 🥰
I have the same hair type as yours, but as someone who actually lived through the 80’s, the layers look too outdated on someone my age, even though it’s perfect on you.
It is definitely an older style! I have noticed that 😜
OMG thank you for saying this!! I’ve been contemplating this style but worried I’m too old and not a cool LA girl so will look even older with this retro style. You just confirmed! Dang....what else can I do to avoid this triangle? 🤣
Nah it's not just the layers it's mostly how you style it. Like Farrah vs 80s big hair vs mall hair lol...thete are plenty of modern styles with layers don't give up.
reading these comments about people hating their haircuts after going to a stylist makes me want to learn how to be my own hairstylist so I can cut it myself 👁️👄👁️
I used to have more curly hair but now it is just sort of wavy. I think the purpose of a deva cut is so that the hair is shaped correctly in a sense. But it depends on what you're going for and many people get layers to avoid the triangle look including me. But I understand why it isn't as necessary for someone with your hair pattern because dry cutting will get you the length you want vs getting it cut wet and having dramatic shrinkage and possible gaps in the hair. I definitely think this type of tapered 70s cut is coming back in style and is flattering especially on wavy hair. I'm thinking of trying it at my next cut.
ur like the only person on youtube w my kind of hair plz keep making videos 😭
OH SO THAT'S WHY MY HAIR DOESN'T DO THAT ANYMORE. You just made me realize omg. I have way too much hair too, and used to be a coarse wavy to curly gurl, but after what I call "the thinning" of my hair due to thyroid problems that happened a few years ago, my hair pretty much stopped being a walking puff, still kinda curly in the bottom, but I just realized why I didn't need layers anymore to control it, bc it's not that thick anymore! Woah. I still miss my thicc hair but, well, life, right?
Idk if this will help anyone but I have short and fine hair with a pretty normal density (or amount of hairs) with this type of haircut and I love it! It looks lush and kinda like a shorter version of what she has. You don’t need think/dense hair for this. I loved your video though everything you said was right on the mark, and that color on you is GORGEOUS
I swear I have the same hair as you! And my hairstylists would always underestimate how much hair I have. I used to straighten and color my hair all the time, but since quarantine I decided to stop using the flat iron as well as stop coloring and going gray. I have seen a huge change in my curl pattern and was shocked I had more curl than I thought. Thank you for the cut suggestions. I see a new cut in my future. 😊
This is so useful!! I have nearly the same hair texture and thickness as you which is amazing because I don't know anyone or really seen anyone with similar hair as me. And thank you for including how you wear your bangs because I love having bangs but struggle with actually keeping them
I think i finally found someone with the same curl pattern and type of hair, i was struggling so hard with this omg
I love that you used a brazilian meme! And your hair is GORGEOUS btw
Thank you so much! I have been so frustrated with the triangular hair, my wave pattern starts halfway down my head so the top always looks flat. But now I know what cut I want thanks to you, omgosh you are the best!!!
Cozy Kitten yay!🥰
I loved those first pics! You looked completely different. If I can handle trying to attempt getting my natural wave back, that’s the style I’d want.
Omg, this is perfect! I literally searched up 'how not to have triangle hair' earlier this month hahaha but didn't find anything so this helps heaps! Thank you ^-^
THE SHAG MULLET THING LOOKS SO CUTEEE I WANT
This is kinda wild we have pretty much IDENTICAL hair, texture, amount, waves, and even orange although mine is a bit more of a burnt orange. Thank you SO MUCH for this video!! I'm actually going to use the photos of your hair you showed in this video to show my stylist next Wednesday! I think you cured my triangle head!
Brooke Ashlyn Yayy!!!🤗🤗
watching this as i take out my crafting scissors
5 mins craft moments ✂️👁👄👁🤌
Having had so many bad haircuts over the years with my thin, curly, but excessive amount of hair, is why I learnt to cut it myself. If i ever do go to the hairdressers they are told to just trim the ends, to leave a little bit of damage and to not change the style. I have without even really knowing what i was doing given myself several shorter layers much like yours and have never loved my hair this much ever! I am literally the same as you with hair that goes on and on.The bulk of my extra hair happens to be on the top or crown which can make me look like a total boof head if not cut or styled correctly. I've got better, but for most of my life i have either tied it all up or half up as i just can't deal with it. I feel like people stare at me too much, like you can't help but notice all this f'en hair flying around haha 🙄
WOW! this gave me good insight, i never knew i had triangle hair and now imma go get layers JFIWEFJAF thank u!
Bless you for addressing wavy and bangs.
As someone who used to straightened her bangs a lot...I can totally say that they won't curl (I've been making progress, but it has been 2 months since I stopped using the flat iron, and they barely wave.....but I'm getting a wave, when before I wasn't getting anything!!!)
I habitually straightened my hair for years and mine ringlets now, it takes time for sure. Protein treatments really helped me out
You and I have the EXACT same hair texture I swear. But I feel sooo torn about layering my hair because I still like to straighten it sometimes, and it looks SO much better all one length when it’s straight 😩
I’d just leave it then and you could try wearing it half up half down when it’s wavy to take some weight off ☺️ I do that too
Also keep it the same all one length and wear a deep side part when wavy. It helps
oh that picture of you with the fair hair, been fighting that triangle my whole life until I got a shag mullet about two years ago, haven't looked back.
OMG I never thought about it as a triangle lol. This makes so much sense. Thank you!
That haircut is absolutely stunning on you! ❤
it took me 23 years of my life to realize that i need a haicut like this bc i always hated how triangle and bottom heavy my hair looks
This is SUCH a lifesaver omgggg
You look amazing with that pink/red hair!
SO needed as I am going for a haircut to help enhance my wavy pattern but have no idea where to start 😂 this helps!
Roo Cachero Yayy!🖤
2:37 omg a meme from Brazil
omg my curls look exactly like yours and ive been so lost on how to define them more and add volume... thank you 😭😭🙌
me, taking notes like I’m not gonna cut my hair myself: ✍🏻👁👄👁
😂😂😂
Hi hairstylist here!! I also have very thick wavy/curly hair and almost anyone whos ever cut my hair hasnt done it the way i wanted until i made my coworker cut with me telling her what to do 😂 whi knew that all we needed was an extremely layered “shag/mullet” hair cut in order for to style our hair without it looking unruly or like a triangle
Thank you so much for this video ! I have a loooot of wavy/curly hair !! I've come to the conclusion that only a straight cut fits me but I can't wear my hair other than I a pony tail because I hate them !! I have an appointement at the salon in two days ! I'm excited. Thank you so much for your fabulous advices. I love your cut
Getting my hair cut tomorrow and was looking for references and remembered how beautiful your hair is ❤
Aw thank you!
Omg you have my exact type of hair. Super thick and same waves. Subscribed!
Omg yes I need this. I want to try short hair again but I'm scarred from a mall haircut in middle school that turned me into a triangle 😂😭 ALSO just realized you're my hair buddy, I have super thick, wavy/curly, coarse hair. I want nothing more than pink hair omg I love yours
OMG JUST FOUND THIS VIDEO! we literally have the same hair type and I LOVE YOUR STYLE
Getting this haircut TODAY! My hair is quite a bit thinner/finer than yours, so we'll see how it turns out. :) You are adorable - thank you so much!
when you went into the salon, what did you ask for? i just wanna know if i’m saying the correct thing if i ever do this 😭
So it's basically a shag. I don't know if the hairdressers in my country know what a shag is lmao. When i asked them for a specific hairstyle they completely ignored me and cut my hair to their choice of preference like wtf.
wtf is right? and you pay them still? i would just leave if they said they cant do it or if they seem to not listen to me
This is everything I needed, thank you sooo much! My hair is always a floofy triangle since I stopped using heat, and it has really impacted my confidence.
This is perfect for my hair! ❤️
I always called my hair Christmas tree hair 😂
I literally have the same hair type. Thank you for the video. It's very helpful to see examples
Finally someone who Has so much hair like me🙃❤️
