Oh Brittnee, such a pretty girl

[@christinachef]

I have super thick and long hair, so I had to do another layer or two, and it could probably be blended a little better. But we just bought a house and was trying to figure out how to save a few bucks this month, so for that, it was so worth it, and I'm very happy.

[@sherryvillneff5678]

Thank you so much. i am 61 years old on a pension. I"ve seen a lot of videos on how too. You explained the step by step so well. Saved me a lot of money. My hair turned out just like a pro did it.

[@sherilynprost1700]

Right there with you! I was lucky enough that when I went to college in early 70s my mom taught me how to do it. Refresher course was great lol;❤

[@NikkiRowCoxx]

Lady, I’m an Elementary School teacher (Sub) & I too am on a tight budget. Please check out public libraries & look up “little free pantries” & communal fridges. They aid a ton. Best wishes, & thank goodness for Britney!

[@JeannineWaters-ji1vh]

Thanks! You make it simple for me!! 👏

[@MJ-sl1nc]

I just love Brittnee. Does not stall. Thinks quickly, and it shows in her videos. Nothing pretentious about her. Really beautiful.

[@BrittneeAlexus]

THANK YOU MJ!!!!!💜💜💜💜

[@missyraus1373]

I’ve been a licensed hairdresser for 26 years and I think this is awesome!

[@emilywolf7720]

I've been cutting and coloring my own hair since I was 14. You're the best teacher I've run across, nice job explaining for the masses. Love it!

[@heatherbrewer2144]

I actually came here to say the same thing! I went through beauty school and had any of my instructors taught as thorough as she has, I probably would have finished my very last 107 hours… (yes I’m a fool for that😩🥴)

[@Sassafrass-qh8po]

May I ask what home coloring brand is best? I don’t love how brassy so many drug store dark browns are. Thanks!

[@bexrn9842]

@@Sassafrass-qh8po have you tried John Frieda 4N? I found it to be more ashy than brass last time I colored. It actually covered better than when I had my partial blonde highlights covered up at the salon 4 months previously.

[@Sassafrass-qh8po]

@@bexrn9842 thanks for the suggestion!

[@renattaclifton785]

Omg 5min in a 6 min video to actually cut blah blah blah

[@saraflees]

Looked at endless tutorials before cutting my hair and this one was by far the easiest to follow and turned out amazing! Thank you!!

[@nataliearnold2275]

Wow girl. I have been dreading going to a stylist because I feel I can't ever explain the way I want. I just did this and bam! So easy and what a relief for my thick hair. thank you!

[@patduffyforever]

[@rosemarysharlenebrooks996]

You are a great teacher. I really liked how you showed and explained everything. Best video I've seen. Thank you.

[@catherinesmeow]

I have searched far and wide for a layered cut that didn’t just exaggerate how thin/fine my hair already is, and/or make my hair look shorter than it is. I can’t tell you how grateful I am for you sharing this! This is EXACTLY what I’ve been searching for, and it was SO easy! :) Thank you!

[@marylosee5626]

I was just going to ask about fine, thin hair. Thanks for the info..

[@crystallovelace904]

I also have hair like yours fine, straight, and long. This worked wonderful for my long hair!

[@UmOkSo-ImNoProfessional]

Ur an amazing teacher I did this on my daughters hair with no hair cutting experience and just by watching this 1 video of urs less than 7 minutes long u taught me everything I needed to know and it turned out beautifully! I don’t see anywhere I can post pix or I would share some before and after pix for u to see just how incredible ur teaching methods are! Thank u from me & my beautiful daughter who’s walking talk & proud with her amazing looking new hairdo!!❤️

[@okidoll]

Thank you for the quick, simple instructions that we can do ourselves. So often the "cut your own hair " has you in positions I simply can't do.

[@hopecreekranch365]

Oh my gosh! This works! I just did this on my long, thin straight hair and it looks beautiful! Layers can make my hair look thinner but this method keeps my hair looking full!

[@stephaniep5494]

No one ever gives me the layers I want.... Followed along to this and my layeRs are BANGING!!!!! Love them!! Thanks so much !!!!!

[@victoria_beth]

Same! I got my hair done by a hairdresser and it looked so bad. I did what she said in the video and it looks so much better!!!

[@AJ-hi9fd]

I can’t find a hairdresser who will cut layers in my hair. They all say NO, then charge me £140

[@His-Dew]

#TrueStory 😄👍👍

[@melaniegerard2582]

Thanks so much! Got a haircut yesterday... asked for layers.... she barely did anything. Today I will do this, myself!

[@lee9604]

@@AJ-hi9fd Mine said no, too! Why do they say no? Is it because they don't want to be bothered? I don't get it and I never asked her why!lol

[@minervaaseberos6704]

I just came from a popular salon and I did not like how my hair was layered. I cut my own hair following your directions and I loved the results! Even my boys said my haircut is now better looking! Thank you for sharing, Britnee!

[@heathermoize4596]

I'm a barber and I enjoyed this so much sitting at work bored waiting on clients I tried it and blow dried my hair and it made my hair look so much fuller thanks gurl 🥰💯🤘

[@BrittneeAlexus]

OH LORDDDDD. please forgive these non technical skills I am using in these videos lol!!!! Glad it could help!

[@crystallovelace904]

I did this with long hair, about around my waist, it worked great!

[@lindseyreitz2391]

I absolutely love how she is explaining everything ❤️ I've watched haircut videos and feel like no one ever explains why they do it that way

[@cpresto85]

AMAZING tutorial! I just did my thick shapeless below the shoulder length bob (it took about 5 minutes) and this beautifully framed my hair/face. I didn’t even shape it or style it, it just falls on your face naturally. THANK YOU! you’re the best 😍

[@Real_stuff__]

Girl thank you. You have saved me so much money this past year watching you I finally decided to subscribe because every time I go to get my haircut it’s like women are jealous of women’s hair???!!! so they cut it too short. I love how your real 100 and don’t give a shit I love that. ❤

[@courtneyhenry7398]

I love how u over explain everything and show instructions more than once. Very thorough!!! Thank you and it looks gorgeous!!

[@neko9485]

best tutorial ive seen for this. I just cut some layers in my shoulder-length hair and now ive got some nice face framing pieces and my ends arent so bulky anymore. girl you are a life-saver!!

[@susiepopata2459]

Finally i find someone who knows what they are doing, thank you.

[@lindawolff3463]

OMG! The way you just so easily explained that! Even my ADHD a$$ understood the assignment! Thank you! I’m giving my 8 year old a hair cut and want her to have a little something and this is PERFECT!!

[@wink48]

Just searched for DIY layers and found you. 5 minutes later I was done. My hair is fine like yours and this video was awesome. I'm a young 76 and haven't been to a hair stylist more than 10 times in my entire life. I don't know that I ever got a decent haircut for $ so I decided I could do it myself and at least not be disappointed spent $$! I subscribed and I'll be back to watch the rest of your videos, plus I'll share you ❤❤❤

[@BrittneeAlexus]

thank you so much, so happy it could help!

[@sheriweems5158]

Thank you, thank you, thank you!!! I am falling down the hole of not being happy with any person who cuts my hair. I have fine curly hair and can't manage to find anyone who can cut it correctly. I cut it myself today and am so happy. I also cut the back like you suggested in your "How to cut your hair/DIY". I am so glad to have found your videos!

[@cancunadiense]

I've been using this video since the start of the pandemic. It's simple, clear, and is the perfect "Yay! Looks healthy again!" refresh. Thank you so much!

[@brittneymeadows7474]

HOLY CRAP.... I DID THIS FOR THE 1ST TIME AND I HAVE TO SAY... I'M PRETTY DAMN PROUD OF MYSELF. IT CAME OUT GREAT. THIS WAS THE BEST AND EASIEST DIY HAIR CUT. THANK YOU SO MUCH

[@HeatherBarney-g5g]

I've tried atleast 10 tutorials before this one is GREAT!

[@clivi4553]

First/ last time I cut my oldest daughters hair It was horrible! So bad we took her to the hair salon and they had to give her a pixie cut. Fast forward 10 yrs and after watching a couple of your videos I felt confident enough to try again on my middle daught. I'm currently in tears because it came out soooo good! Thank you thank you thank you.

[@dalidow993]

Best tutorial ever. Girl is professional, straight to the point, good advice, helpful. No nonsense

[@BrittneeAlexus]

THANK YOU❤️

[@karenkiunke6166]

I'm so glad I found your tutorials! You are a very good teacher. When it comes to hair cuts my experience has been that no matter if I spend a little or a lot it's not what I had in mind and I usually have to fix it when I get home. I've had the same hair cut for a long time, a short a line style, but recently have it a little longer and needed to learn how to cut it in a new style, with longer layers. Thanks to you, I did it! I will be checking out more of your tips to learn more. Thanks so much for helping! You're making the world a better place!!!

[@virginiabowen7754]

You are the best tutor ever! I love how you explain why we need to do or not do something. I will always remember that hair close to or away from my face makes different cuts. I can't believe how good my hair looks after just a half hour. It really helps that your hair is very much like my own super fine hair, and suddenly, after this cut, it looks like I've got more! Thank you, thank you, thank you!

[@nicolemceachern]

I have never had a better haircut, and I mean EVER! You are a Goddess. I commented on an older video, but I actually used both. Love you for helping me help my doo!💋

[@marieamericus8074]

I love your detailed steps!! I'm looking forward to getting mine done, hopefully soon!! My hair is down to my butt, but when I had a somewhat long Wolf cut done a couple years ago it did wonders for my hair!! My naturally bouncing curls that my momma gave me came bouncing back so beautifully!! But, when it's so long, like it is now, it just looks heavy & a little wavy!! I can't wait to get it done now!! I'm sure I'll be back to your channel for other hair tips!! Thank you!! 💇‍♀️

[@MR-gq2mv]

FINALLY! A great video on DIY layers from home, without all the extra bs and talking nonsense! Thank you! I will definitely use this video after going through about 30 that were useless. I am a dog lover too, and I find it kinda cute that a hair stylist has a hair-less dog too!

[@BrittneeAlexus]

Let me know how it goes! you will do great!!!

[@heathergillam971]

You are BETTER than Brad Mondo at explaining layer cuts FOR SURE🎉🎉🎉

[@wiktoriabaginska6880]

Hi, I'm here to let you know that I used this tutorial and the one about cutting the lenght of the hair for blunt edge. My hair was getting long and feeling thin, and both of those videos helped me give myself a trim and very gentle layers. Now my hair feels much healthier and thicker, layers gave it some bounce which I was looking for. Thank you so much for sharing your tips❤️

[@TheMagAngel]

Hi Brittney. I’ve been wanting to cut crown layers, but I’ve been very afraid to do so. I have gone through countless hairdressers who either do not listen to what I want or do not know how to do what I want. I came across your video quite by accident, and you have made me so very hopeful. I am going to try your method in the next couple of days, and I am pretty confident that it will be exactly what I want. I will be 73 soon enough, and not in the best shape of my life for sure. I feel that my hair is my best feature. I hope that I can follow your instructions, which you seem to make it very easy for me to do. I am so glad that I found you. You rock!! Wish me luck, Brittney❤️

[@chelseawithey6840]

Idk how, after 17 years of doing my own hair, I'm just now finding you, but I'm so glad! I've watched countless tutorials over the years & yours are by far the best at explaining things for beginners, but keeping it quick. No one wants to watch a 30 min tutorial before starting on the process of doing your hair 😂 I just used your at-home highlight video last night & my hair looks great! Thank you! ❤

[@TaylorBKnits]

It worked! I was TERRIFIED but decided to just go for it and it looks amazing!🎉

[@kcook1196]

This is by far the most helpful hair cutting video I’ve ever watched. You’re an amazing teacher!!

[@bsjostrom64]

Just came across two of your videos, one on how to cut side swept bangs and this one. I have to say amazing it was straight to the point, and the technique on how to perfect my hair now looks better than going to a salon and having to come home and fix mistakes. Thank you for this!!!!

[@rkmomm1]

I trimmed my length and added long layers using your videos. You explain it so well! I'm so happy. My hair feels so much better now - I haven't had a professional cut since March 2020! Thank you! And I agree - you're adorable!

I always come back to this Simple, straightforward and not half hour long!😅 Thank you!

[@glendagonzalez2469]

Finally a helpful video. I had just started (but couldn't finish) watching several videos by hair stylists that showed how to self layer on a mannequin and kept over complicating the process. I can only imagine that they either don't know how to explain as well as you do or are afraid that their own clients will question the $300 price tag if it sounds too simple. Bottom line their videos are pointless. Thank you for demystify layers. I believe in supporting the professionals do what they do best, but it's nice to be able to rely on one self when necessary.

[@SoniaRossi72]

This subtle, one length, layering technique is what I have been looking for AGES! Thank you so much xx

[@marielapedraza7]

I loved your video and I did it today, cut my layers, and they turned out great….. no matter where I get my haircut, if I pay lots, or go to great clips, no one wants to cut shorter layers on my hair, I have thin and mostly straight hair so they seem afraid it’ll look thinner, but i do have lots and once I style it looks great, but they don’t want to, so I got a haircut today, hairstylist gave me layers on the back but longer ones on the front …. So I got home , found your Video and followed the instructions and gave myself some layers, and they turn out great, just exactly what I want it. Thank you so much now I’m following :-)

[@maryurman946]

Wow, amazing tutorial. I have literally watched 100’s of hours of hair cutting, coloring and bleaching KZbin tutorials and yours are the most well explained easiest to understand. I’ve been cutting/coloring my hair at home for about two years and I’ve learned a lot and tried. Many different techniques for all the things and I’m getting ready to cut aloy of inches off and change it up a bit more than my usual so I started looking for technique to make it easier and me more confident. Thank god I found you. You explained it all so well and and didn’t leave out the tiny detail that make other DIY videos easy to misinterpret or mess up. Thank you so much! I need to binge watch you now and catch up lol

[@thedevilandhertrumpets4268]

I just found your channel and did both the overall length cut and layers tutorials yesterday. Today I wore my hair down, and my friend commented that I was having a good hair day. I have zero experience doing my own hair, and appreciate your straightforward approach - this is a game changer! Idk if I have the guts to try highlights, but your videos on that are awesome, too.
