This video should have millions of views b/c it’s absolutely amazing ! My hair is basically copy paste to yours and I desperately needed a haircut. Hairdressers always turn a simple trim into something else & charge $100 + 😣 I tried this out today and I seriously can’t thank you enough. I haven’t loved the way my hair looks in such a long time ❤

[@MarisasCurls]

Oh my goodness thank you so much, I’m so so happy it worked so well for you!!

[@Yoshifan75321]

I wholeheartedly agree! After being unable to see my former hairdresser due to not being able to get a response to schedule a few years ago, I found this video. This is the only video I use, trust, and share because Marisa is amazing! 💞

[@dontmindmelalala]

Just wanted to say thank you for this video! I was close to spending $200 for a curl-by-curl cut, but thanks to you, I gave myself the best haircut I’ve ever had!

[@MarisasCurls]

Oh wow really?? That’s so amazing 🤩

[@mariabrett5163]

Me too….I don’t trust hairdressers to do what I ask so this is super helpful

[@HellaKittyGoneBad]

Awesome! Good of you to let her know you appreciate the video. I haven’t tried it, but I do too.

[@TASIAawful1]

You literally cut your hair like a curly hair stylist would well done it looks beautiful

[@mariabrett5163]

The ‘curly’ hairdresser I went to recently didn’t do this which is why I think I ended up with a weird shape which didn’t work for me. I’m going to do this in future and will save on stress and money. Thank you so much for sharing

[@abigailcollins9246]

Came across this yesterday and I now have a beautifully layered curly cut thanks to you. Thank you so much for taking the time to make such a high quality, useful video ❤ I can honestly say it is the best curly hair cutting video on KZbin 🤗🥰

I just wanted to thank you for this content! Since quarantine last year I had given myself one haircut with the curly girl tutorial and it was OK. This one blew it away! I gave myself the best haircut I’ve had in my whole life thanks to you☺️ I appreciate you sharing your wisdom and gorgeous personality with us all. Thank you so much!!! It’s so empowering to be able to do this for myself🌟

[@user-my2wb4jh3o]

Thank-you so much! Had a haircut 6 weeks ago that was fair but the hairdresser didn’t really know how to cut curly. My hairdresser before that is just too expensive to keep up with them regularly. Your video gave me the courage to try again (I’ve cut my own hair many times before). Super happy with the way it looks and I haven’t even washed and styled!❤

I’m so so happy to hear that!

[@justrose6978]

You're tutorial was great! I've been cutting my own hair for years now but lately I'm losing my curl towards the back part of my crown (menopause). Being more specific and focusing on each curl, although very time consuming is definitely the way to go. Thank you🙏 I'm looking forward to my next trim.

[@MarisasCurls]

I hope it works out for you!!!

[@andreacummings7349]

Thank you so much! I needed a good cut as my last was a pretty significant chop right before Christmas. I was was happy with it once my hair settled down but my schedule is bonkers right now. My hair is pretty darn happy!

Amazing! So glad it worked for you

[@lizzy_bu]

You have dream curls, soo beautifully defined. Thank you so much for this video! :)

[@MarisasCurls]

Aw thanks so much!

[@ShatteredRippleBooks]

It looks really nice. My hair is all one length and waist length. So I just straighten it and put it in a ponytail then reach behind me and pull the hairband down to almost the end of my hair. Whilst keeping it as straight as possible. Then I just pull the hair forward to the front and trim below the hairband.

[@odessa870]

Thank you for sharing this technique, Marisa! I've seen other tutorials that highlight different approaches but this one has me feeling more comfortable about tackling a substantial style change and not just the timid trim job I've been doing for four years (which hasn't really rendered good results). Wish me luck! :)

[@MarisasCurls]

Oh that’s amazing!

[@ArtisticMysticSoul]

OMG, thank you! My hair is shorter than yours, but I think I feel confident enough to try and trim it a little. I've been unhappy with my stylist for so long now, I don't think I can do much worse.

LOVED your video, I have combination curls also. When you wear eyeglasses and they constantly move down the nose this is a huge pain. Thank you for the upload 💛

[@wilyvioletkeys]

I did it last night and took off about 2 inches to get rid of ratty ends. Took about an hour (I have 2b-3b hair and I had to reassess each area as my curl pattern changed.) It looks great and I feel confident in my ability to do it again! I didn’t do much shaping as my hair is super long and wanted to keep the length.

Your curls are beautiful! So impressed with your cutting skills 🤩 One question, how are you measuring how much to take off the back? I can see how you're doing the front by eye, but when you pull out the strands at the back, how do you know it'll all match up? Thanks!

[@nicolaoleary2482]

Oh I've been waiting for this vid. I love your hair length and shape and Its my goal.... My hair is too short atm so I'm trying to grow it out but it's a wee bit trianguly..... Gonna try over the shoulder, fluff and mirror to see where I can improve later (day 2 hair). Plus am glad you use noughty as I can get that here in Ireland. Also I bought the exact same scissors about a month ago but have been too afraid to use it! Thank you so much for sharing this. Your hair is stunning x

[@MarisasCurls]

Oh I can’t wait to hear how it goes!! I’m sure you’ll do a great job

[@MarisasCurls]

Oh great!!

[@teagangreen5603]

Thank you. I have your hair texture but the length is down to my tailbone and unpredictable. Every stylist I’ve gone to has been scissor happy and made it look rectangular with no shape!! Theres one person near me that appears to look skilled but wants 165 for a curl by curl! Just did it myself and its the best haircut I’ve ever had. I will definitely look into your channel and try some of your routines/tips and tricks to make my curl pattern look as presentable and hold as well as yours! This is a PSA that if you have long curly hair and your thinking of doing this, it makes a nice U at the back and tying your hair up looks voluminous and even!!

[@jessicagibson1995]

You make this look so easy! I'm wondering, is there a reason why you use third day hair instead of on wash day once it's dry?

[@rxgaribay]

I tried your technique and I think my hair looks good. I’ll have to wait and see how it curls after I wash it as my hair always curls more after a haircut and a wash. I mainly needed layers because my hair was all the same length and I didn’t like that because I was not getting enough volume on the top of my head.

[@simplycurlyde]

THSM! I knew I needed a haircut, but I was so hesitant going to a hair salon. I was not happy with the last 2 times I went for a haircut. It just seems like they don't know anything about how to cut wavy/curly hair well. At least in my area. So, I attempted cutting my hair. I don't think I got it perfect, but I don't think it's all that bad, for my 1st time. It's so easy. I really can't see paying $40 for a haircut now. Also, I found it easier to trim ends by holding the ends & clipping right above my fingers.

[@MarisasCurls]

Aw well done!! It will get easier each time you do it as well

Hey! Thanks for the video, I was desperate because I can’t afford a salon cut in my current situation and my hair REALLY needs a cut, and watching this video, I think I can (and will) do it! I just have a question. My hair will have lost all curl by day three. Can I do it at day one when it’s actually curly? Does it matter? Or did you just cut on day 3 because it was day 3 when you felt like trimming?

Hi Marisa, Thank you for this video. Your hair type is almost identical to mine and sadly very few hairdressers ever cut wavy/curly hair well. I have ordered my own hairdressing scissors and a few hair clips. I noticed you cut your hair when dry. Please can you let me know what shampoo and conditioner you recommend. With much appreciationa and thanks, Adele

[@astaheli3376]

Hi There! Loved your video so much. Do you mind sharing what products you use for styling? Thanks!

[@MarisasCurls]

Hi! So glad you enjoyed it. I use a wide variety but some of my favourites are curlsmith and Only Curls and Umberto Giannini

[@thoseartyfolk]

My mum used to say that curly hair was cut differently but none of my hairdressers have ever done it like this, they usually wash it, straighten it and then cut it….you might just have saved me £50 a month 🥰

[@thoseartyfolk]

Waiting for my scissors to arrive from Amazon today 😅

[@MarisasCurls]

Oooo this is exciting! Can’t wait to hear how it goes. Straightening your hair to cut it really doesn’t work well for curls, even a regular wet cut is better than that.

[@irenita1217a]

Question: will this style be even if you decide to blow dry it straight? Or is it for curly only styles?

[@EK-yi7pk]

Beautiful hair ❤

[@ttogytsirhc]

Thank you so much Marisa!! ☺️Just a few minutes into it and have a question... Is there a reason you use day 3/4 hair and not fresh day 1 hair?

[@MarisasCurls]

To be honest I would usually use day 2 hair because that’s when my hair is most settled. But I just had the time to film this day so I went ahead. I would say ideally cut it whichever day your curls sit best

[@yelenarivera2422]

How are your curls this beautiful on day 3/4? I will try this lol but maybe on day 2 lol

[@Floridameerkat93]

How do you prepare your hair for the haircut? My stylist prefers my hair to have as little product in it as possible, including no gel. Do you do the same?

[@MarisasCurls]

No I just wash and style as usual. This was day or 4 I think.

[@victorialozada2553]

Love this video!! How often do you trim your hair?

[@MarisasCurls]

I don’t really have a specific schedule, I just do it when either the ends need it or the shaping needs redone

[@sabrinatyczynski62]

This is so helpful ! Could you explain a little bit more about how to avoid a “shelfy” layer ?

[@MarisasCurls]

It’s really about only taking each layer a small bit shorter than the one below. If you take it too much shorter that is where you will create a shelf. Does that make sense?

[@sabrinatyczynski62]

Yes definitely, thank you! Can’t wait to try this, your hair is so beautiful

[@vaskylark]

Yes, this. It seems no matter what I do I end up with shelf layers and I hate it so much. Hopefully this will work. My hair is too long and it's weighing my curls/waves (2c-3a) down. I need to lose some length and do some shaping for sure.

[@lynnniblock8355]

Hi Marisa I know I commented on your hair just a few days ago, I wanted to ask, could I still do your method of cutting my hair curl by curl for a beginner like myself and it isn't layered as such at the moment ? 😊💕

[@MarisasCurls]

Yes you definitely could. And you could keep it unlayered by just cutting the very end of each clump. Or you could add some layers by cutting each section just slightly shorter than the one below it. 😄

[@amoondria]

Thank you so much for sharing. Can us wavies use the same technique to give ourselves a trim? Pretty new at this still :)

[@raraavis7782]

This technique works best, if you have fairly defined, separate curls, preferably ringlets. With wavy hair...well ask yourself: are you really going to go through with wearing it wavy-curly ever single day? Because this might end up looking choppy, if you wear your hair smooth. Be it intentionally, or because your waves/curls fall flat on day 2 or 3 and you maybe don't have time for a proper refresh/restyle. If your hair has a halfway decent cut right now, I would commit to actually doing the curly girl method for a while, before you try your hand at cutting your hair. And it likely won't make much of difference, looks wise as well (in case you're after that and not just saving money). From all I know, a regular wet cut, possibly with layers is perfectly fine for wavy hair.

[@MarisasCurls]

Hi! You definitely can use this technique if you have some level of clumps in your hair. You may find a regular wet layered cut works just as well for you. But if you want to try cutting your own hair you can definitely try this. Just start small and you can always go back and take more off 😃

Your hair is gorgeous and the volume you got from that cut is amazing. Curious why you part your hair in the middle and concern yourself with making the sides even if you wear a side part? Wouldn’t you want to have it look even and balanced in its natural state (parted on the side)? It seems like the hair appears shorter when you sweep it over and that would throw things off?

Because even though I do wear a side part I want the layers to be equal on both sides for when I wear my hair half up or the front pulled back or with a headband. Previously I haven’t done it with a middle part first but this time I found it made a big difference to how balanced it looks and it also gives me a better option to move my parting if I feel like it. I can go for a deep side part or a closer to centre one depending on my mood. But if I cut it only for my side parting I don’t have that flexibility. 😂

I do the same thing, changing where I part my hair. So it does make sense to part the hair in the middle when cutting it.

Thank you for your tutorial on cutting curly hair. My hair is much shorter than yours, though I would like to grow it out more. I have been changing up products and techniques and am having success. I’ve been cutting my hair for years after so many really bad hair cuts by Deva experts. What, if nothing, would you recommend adjusting on your technique for shorter hair? Thanks in advance.

I cut it exactly the same way when my hair was shorter 😃 the main thing is just taking it a little shorter with each layer as you go up and keeping an eye on the overall shape as you go

Thank you!

I used to hate getting my hair cut at Great Clips. It was never what I wanted. Now I do my own cutting. Thankyou so much for making it easy.

I’m so glad you have figured it out!
