Hello my Angel!!!!, I am a X-Hair dresser from the late 70's, I am here to thank you!!! I am a breast Cancer patient and have not done my hair in three years!!! UGH!!! we all know what that is like, especially Cancer patients. I really appreciate your DYI, it made me feel at little better about myself. Thank you so Much.

[@eringlassey5896]

I am a licensed hairstylist and this is the best "DIY"layered haircut I have seen. This is similar to what I would do, of course since I am doing it on someone else I am able to subsection the back and front and avoid overdirecting from the back to front, but this is a pretty technically correct haircut! MUCH better than the hair tie method!

[@Ellebangs]

+Erin Glassey aw thanks so much xx

[@73brook]

I mean I feel like it's not that surprising seeing as she is a hairstylist hahaha

[@charliejackson4996]

Erin Glassey. I agree. .I'm licensed also (so is she ) & this is the best example by far.. she's very talented.

[@31415926535equalspi]

I am the furthest thing from licensed and tried to save $ by following this video and cutting my own hair. I still messed up and had to get it fixed by a professional, but probably not as badly as I would have done without seeing this. Plus the stylist that fixed it said, "not bad!" Thanks for the vid!

[@leighannmcgowan5239]

Im.a hairdresser too ...dont ever cut your own hair ..you can really mess it up.

[@brengz7663]

You did this 3 years ago and it's still making a difference. I just followed your tutorial and got a bomb haircut! Saved myself $55 bucks. Thanks!!

[@Ellebangs]

+Brenda Gonzalez hahaha i know it's been a long time!! cant believe it.. this is one of my first videos, the first video I made that actually got a lot of views, and to this day still my video with the most views :D guess i did something right back then lol. thanks for watching. xoxo

[@sonyavonluehrte]

@@Ellebangs Hi Silvia! I was just wondering if this still apply to how you can cut long soft layers yourself? I personally think it helped my hair. I always cut my own hair but tried your tutorial yesterday and it looks so much more polished. The one step I wasn't doing was the point cut on the back. After seeing your video my approach on pulling the back to the front so I can see what I'm point cutting has been a game changer for me. Do you still cut your hair this way or do you have more tips you have shared since 2012? Thanks for sharing you tips on DIY hair coloring too! I'm getting ready to apply brown permanent dye to my blonde hair to create the balayage effect. I'm following one of your video's! I'm super excited to try this process! TYVM! 🙂

[@makeupfascination]

I've been following you forever! You were just a baby!! And u didn't need botox yet. Can't believe you've grown your platform so much, and you are so much more relaxed in front of the camera. So proud of you 👏 🥰

[@Ellebangs]

it's so fun to look back my first videos and see how awkward i was.. and STILL AM! :D and seeing the viewer count past a million gives me goose bumps! so please make sure you stop by my channel and see my new videos with new awesome hair tips!!

[@Desiree1176]

Now that you are even better, do other diy haircut tutorials, please. They are so useful. Thanks a lot!

[@lisafallon4921]

ellebangs I tried this myself and LOVE the way my hair came out! I watched both of your DYI videos on layering your own hair and I got something out of both of them. I like this video better for hand placement (do wish you did both sides), my hair is very thick and about as long as the second video. I went back to my hairdresser to color my hair shortly after I cut it and he didn't comment on "My" cut... although, his girls said; it came out great!~ It is exactly what I've been asking him to do for many years, but he would never listen to me. Thank you, thank you! I will be sending in my donation!

[@Ellebangs]

Desiree1176 I specialize in color, but cutting is fun too so I really should do a few more! :) thanks for watching! xo

[@blessedones5143]

[@maryefleury5712]

I learned more from this than the tons of videos on here by the 4 same guys "professionals" that talk the entire time and I get lost because they're talking too much. And they get way too technical for me.. This was just what I needed. Thanks

[@fuckoff1647]

Thank you so much. I've been cutting my hair using your video for 2 years now. I even get compliments from people on how good hair looks. And I live in London, hair competition is fierce haha

[@perlinmarcus7684]

This is my go to video. Perfection everytime. For the last 6years. I know what to do just like to watch it again🙊💕❤

[@laurahedlund9441]

I have long thick hair. I've been doing 9 sections for the past 5 years. This can be overwhelming.. This has really simplified the process for me. I always got confused about the crown section & layers. This really simplified my whole process and just makes sense. I'm no stylist. Just a mom who couldn't find time to get to my salon. I've watched endless tutorials on cutting layers, sectioning, etc. Just do this & remember it doesn't have to be perfectly sectioned. I get compliments on my hair all the time.

[@elainejolly8626]

Have been cutting my own hair at home in my own way for years but found these vidios so helpful. I wouldn't dare go public with my cutting method and think you are all so brave. Please carry on. Its such a help and you all make it look so easy. A big thank you.

[@dianaharris6003]

I've had so many hairdressers ruin my hair. I had this cut before the carnage and have been trying to get back to it. You made it so easy. I know I'll get better at it but it's a dream come true finding you. Thank you so much.

[@kelliteipel7149]

Me, too. Several times over the years, by hairdressers in different states. It’s been horrible.

[@katyamarincheva7418]

It works! I just did my own hair cut following this video, and what i achieved is the first haircut in my life which i love at first sight. I didn't just remove hair tips, following this video, I managed to get a lot smoother transition of hair layers, and a lot smoother transition to a formerly quite awkward bang too. Elle, you are Great!

another comment by either friend/relative/buddy click bait. ummmm. we can see your hair in the picture you posted so nice try cutting , layering straight, long thin hair when yours is short, thick wavy and full. you kind of ppl. bug me so much. some young kid is gonna ruin her hair not realising hair extensions were used, and cheap clip ins to boot. she didn't touch her hair and you know it.

So nice to see a refreshing and beautiful face that isnt caked in makeup or false lashes! Very pretty and natural.

Thanks.

Twice over the years, I've done something stupid to my color and desperately came to your channel and asked for help and you answered me. You are SO sweet. And now I found this older video of yours and I was actually able to do it! I gave myself a trim and got rid of the dead ends and I can't believe it, but it looks great! Thanks so much, as always. :)

Tried this yesterday, and I absolutely love how it turned out! Every time I have been at the salon, I didn't feel like I got as many layers, as I asked for, no matter what I said, or which picture I showed.. And I just made them myself, yesterday :) wow, I'm satisfied 👍🏼 thank you so much

I have natural really wavy hair. So after I wash and dry it I straighten it then cut.That way I can wear it natural or straighten. Thank you so much for this. I am so glad I found you. I have been trying to achieve this for years and never could get it. NOW I CAN!!!!

[@watercommon76]

I cut my hair after watching this tutorial. I have never cut my own layers in/out myself, I followed your instructions and the following day at work I had stylist double check my cut. Besides the fact I am no hairdresser... she said it wasn't bad at all.... my transitioning was a bit tough but over all great. And I've gotten many compliments. I was also told my hair looked way healthier. Thank You....

[@Ellebangs]

aww this makes me smile!! Glad your current stylist approved!! :) Thanks for watching. ANd you have to watch my updated haircut video

[@vickimoore6439]

Thank you so much for this tutorial! I work in the service industry (for now), and keeping my hair pulled back all the time just destroys it. I use this tute regularly to keep my hair looking healthy (but still long enough to keep it out of my face for work). A+! :)

I will defiantly try this to straighten out the bad haircut I just paid $65 for, I'm ready to cut my own hair.

[@helen.s.c.]

Thank you so much for sharing. I watched this several times before trying it. I've now used your techniques for 5 haircuts and I've been very very happy with the results! It looks just as good as any salon cut I ever had. I suggest people try the cutting the layers a little longer than you think at first, so if you make a mistake (like I did the first couple cuts), then you can simply cut an inch or so off the length for a perfect cut. Saving lot's of money and really happy with the results! Thank you!

[@AlisonLinh]

I looked up this video because I knew you had a good one about cutting your own hair. I was surprised to see how different you acted, but then I saw the date of the video. You have definitely come a long way and gained more confidence since this video. Thank you so much for continuing to make videos!

[@geekyzombie]

I just grabbed 17 inches of my hair LAST NIGHT and chopped it off to my shoulders. It’s a complete jagged mess. But I mailed out my hair today to a children’s donation center that makes wigs .....and I have an appointment on Monday. I did a search but everyone cut with rubber bands. It was ridiculously crooked -and so is mine. 😂😂😂 SAVING THIS VIDEO!! I’ll use it in 3 years on my next hair donation.

[@courtneylong5084]

I did this to my hair last night and i love it my boyfriend thought i went to a salon!! I think ive found my calling!!

[@RainbowObsidian777]

I have commented on this video already but had to come back to share that this is helping so many people. The results are really actually professional ones if you just do as she explains in her video and Take Your time. Dry hair does have a huge advantage for you too. I will be continuing to do this even once lockdowns are over. This is a great way for our family to save money and time and getting it done properly. I dont colour my hair but there are some amazing videos for that too. Just gotta do things properly. Going blonde is the most tricky one but simple once you learn how. Been there and done that but its been ages and i love my natural colour so its here to stay

[@TheSamanthaRemze]

I was about to get $20 haircut, but I went for it and tried this out, and honestly I can say I love it! Thanks (x

[@NoGreaterLove_3]

Best video on the subject in my opinion.I will be trying this on my mom, my 1,5 year old and myself.Just to tell you how much this helped, because I can barely keep up with all the salon visits just for keeping the hair healthy looking.Also I never dared to go blonde because I thought that blonde equals damaged hair but I can't believe how beautiful your color is and how 'springy healthy' your hair looks.Thank you!

[@Sonya2221]

I just want to say THANK YOU. It took me a good while to get my hair done, bc I am OCD and kept watching each step and pausing and going back, and then after the basics I kinda just took it to explore the steps over again. I love my hair. I cut it dry, and wetted the ends some bc my hair can tends to curl up in some places. But you're amazing and I can't say thank you enough.

Loved this! Thanks for taking the time to make it!

This is a very good video bc it's almost impossible to mess up. A lot of people make the mistake of cutting too deep into the layers and end up with a bubble on top (even hairdressers!) this video is very similar to how I cut my hair. Watching it with the tips and logic behind it will surely help a lot of women, and was a good reminder for me! Thanks!

So it’s safe to cut your hair at home instead of going to the salon? I feel like my hairdresser is always so scissor happy and that’s why I can never grow my hair very long if o keep going to the salon. -Mehrnaz

Just to say you are not awkward but rather clear and concise in your explanations. Thanks for the video. x

Hi, I just spent over an hour cutting 2 inches of length from my hair while cutting along to your video. Turned out pretty decent. You make it look easy. Guess it just takes practice. Kinda fun giving yourself a haircut. :) It's hard to stop doing fine tuning here and there. I'll be checking out your other vids. Thank you!

It works! It works! Thank you! ♡♡♡♡♡♡♡♡ I have very short hair and just did this to small pieces, pulled them up. Because... my hair was so damaged from bleach and dye... my roots were 3in and the rest color... well, I'm removing all the color (about 3in) off the whole hair.

Anyone else here because all the hair salons are closed 😩 lmao

I watched this video 6 years ago and this has been my go to cut ever since. Looks great every time.

[@mimseyllamenberger2097]

i just tried this, and it came out amazing! but my scissors aren't sharp enough... do you have any recommendations for scissors? thank you

[@nolid7843]

take the staple out of a book of matches and trace the angled edge of each blade on the part where you would normally strike a match until sharp enough. you can get shears sharp enough to shave the peach fuzz on your arms that way.

[@thecatspyjamas1309]

If you're still cutting your own hair, check out Aliexpress, I got great scissors off it over the years

I actually tried this on my hair which is pretty long so I figured if I messed it up no big deal I would just go to a pro because I needed to lose a couple inches anyway. No need. It came out good. I took off about 1 inch all around. Now I have cute layers. I recently moved to another state and this will get me by until I find a new salon I like. Thanks!
