I want to see more layer cut, just the way you’re explaining in this video.

[@Itsviviyo]

Long layers PLEASE. Like, long hair but the layers are are an inch or two away from the length. I was never taught this in cosmetology school 😭

[@heidibogan1239]

Would love to see a simple approach to seamless long layers.

[@KathyHussey063]

Thank you !!! I've been trying to find easily understandable hair cutting info that is not filled with superfluous detail/ knowledge that mostly confuses a viewer instead of teaching select techniques that stand a chance of being retrieved by my brain when it's needed. Thanks for not dragging out overly technical descriptions to tell us why to do it each of the ways & for telling me how to cut hair right, from it's most basic knowlege level. Hopefully now I won't leave funky jagged thick edges at the bottom of my hair, bulky triangular shapes on the sides of my head (so that my hair lays like a helmet) or obviously screwed up random divots instead of nice layers. (LOL All my past sins upon my own hair.) Many videos show someone cutting another's hair (or a mannequn's) but don't explain (in easily understandable visuals or words): a) the different WAYS you can CUT a section of hair b) how the DIRECTION the section is HELD IN when you cut, in relation to the head, c) & how much TENSION it's held with, will effect the resulting cut. You've made it clear for me what results from each cutting technique. So, if I temporarily lose my mind again (in a moment of hair disgust) & end up hacking away at my hair, there's a far better chance it won't look like a 3 year old did it to me.✂✂✂
