Easy DIY haircut | Wavy or curly hair | Lockdown hair saviour!

We're in Lockdown. The hair salons have been closed for months. Eventually I had to take the plunge and cut my own hair. Having never done it before, I watched the awesome tutorial by Curly Tay on KZbin ( • EASY DIY HAIRCUT FOR C... ) and bit the bullet!
Here's my version; have a watch and follow along. Let me know how you get on!
Here are the scissors I use in the video:

Finally a DIY haircut for wavy/curly hair…

[@andreacockayne6956]

I,ve followed your tips and I think it's the best cut I,ve ever had 😁👌.I have always wanted to cry after the hairdresser totally did a hachet job on my hair 😭.so I stopped going to hairdresser's and cut my own, your video has taught me how to sort the fringe and sides out 👌, having natural curly wavy hair can be a nightmare 🤣 lol

[@TheAmateurMama]

Amazing, thanks so much!

[@Gam1928]

Thank you! I was able to trim my wavy hair in the way that I have desired. Your explanation and demonstration were easy to follow. I’m so pleased with my hair! It’s finally exactly how I’ve wanted it cut!

[@mindyfried6817]

Thank you SO much! This is the second time I've cut my hair with your video - the first during the "first wave" of the pandemic, and now, with an upsurge because of Omicron. The video is fantastic! Your instructions are extremely clear, and your commentary is soothing and reassuring. Both times, I've been very satisfied with the results. THANKS!!! BTW, I'm a sociologist in the US and I turned three of my sociology friends on to it, and we (jokingly) created a Sociology Hair Club. ;-)

[@quiquileroux7856]

Followed your directions and am so happy with results. The cool part was that I didn't really cut that much, only about 1 1/2 inches from each layer but it made a huge difference. I no longer have that triangular pyramid head. Thank you.

[@kodiakbear7742]

This is actually very helpful. My Wife's favorite hairdresser moved and she doesn't trust anyone else. She has super long wavy hair

[@tammystiletto]

Gosh thank you so much! I couldn’t figure out what was going on with my hair, it went from nice curls to dragged out frizzy lengths. I always used to cut my hair when it was straight. Your video has given me some confidence to try cutting my new wavy to curl hair. Thanks!

[@donnaceliano-stover9225]

Just found your video….. been cutting my own hair almost forever, yet followed and tweaked my own cut all based on your clear step by step procedures, and I LOVE MY NEW HAIRDO! Thanks. Saving this video for my next trim in a few months!

[@salty_lizard]

Thank you! Successfully cut my hair & my mother in laws too. Your tutorial was very easy to follow! 💇‍♀️💁‍♀️😍

[@charism1768]

Thank you so so much for making this! I tried cutting my hair a few times from KZbin videos but haven't been able to get nice layers like I wanted. My hair is fine but very thick and wavy/frizzy. I cut it following all of your steps a few days ago, and I love my hair more and more every day since! One thing I will say is this haircut also looks fabulous with straight hair. I cut mine after I had blown it out, and I could tell right away after cutting off a few inches (it was pretty long) that it lifted and had body again. I also tried out my new thinning shears in place of the feathering since my scissors are not very good, and it was quick and easy. I just cut each section one time across, 1/2-3/4 inch from the ends. I didn't have to make any corrections so I just kept on going! Today I've just tried scrunching my wet hair with a curl cream and the waves turned out SO pretty! This was a huge success. I look younger and feel like myself again! As long as I can replicate this haircut, I will never have to pay for one again. Thanks again and many blessings to you! 💖🌄🙏

[@SplashDashAsh]

Thank you for this video! I cut my hair twice using it - first during the pandemic, and second time when a stylist gave a terrible cut I had to correct. Both times I've been thrilled with the results and am tempted to always just cut my own hair! Thanks for making it so simple and clear.

[@sashag.9459]

Thanks so much for this video! It has helped me to cut my curly hair and it looks great 😄 Even better than when my hairdresser cuts it, so I'm gonna cut it now for the 2nd time after 12 weeks 👍🏽 Namaste 💜🌹from a 45 year old mother of 3 from Holland

Thank you!

[@saramcnulty3113]

This is such an awesome, easy cut! Alll the haircuts videos out there are for straight, thin hair which I DO NOT have. This cut was perfect for my wavy, thick hair! So easy! Thank you!!

[@margaretterrill7944]

Thank you for this video!! It’s the best, most comprehensive curly/wavy diy I’ve seen!

[@catanarchist25]

Thanks so much for sharing your home cut! You and I have similar hair texture and length, and your video was EXACTLY what I was looking for. I did trim my length last year after watching some videos, which was successful, but I tried some side cutting, and it was a disaster that took about six months to grow out (it poofed out on the side of my head )😭😭)

[@jennordstrom8582]

This video is AWESOME!!! Very detailed and extremely helpful!!!! Thank you so much❤️

[@theresamcgee-farkas2002]

Beautiful and thank you so much for sharing your video. Your’s has helped me the most. I have curly wavy hair and it does bulk out on the sides my hair is shoulder length. I feel the hairstylist do a blunt cut. They don’t cut up into the hair like you do 👍🏼you did a great job. Thank you

[@suzannehiggins1053]

This video saved my long wavy bad post COVID hairdo! My hair is longer but wavy and had shelf issues. She helped me fix it!

[@leahduhon6168]

So good! I've never really cut my own hair before, and this video was so easy to follow, and my hair turned out great. Anyone who has wavy hair and wants a layered face framing cut, this is the video for you!

[@kristendeon362]

I just got watched your video and gave it a shot and it came out so great! Thank you so much!

[@not_potaytoes_hobbit]

Awesome cut! And you give me "Liv Tyler" vibes because you have an elvish look :)

[@christinemorgan8923]

Thank you so much for the step by step guide which really helped me cut and then through my lockdown hair which was driving me mad. Seeing you cut your own hair was great and so much easier to follow than other videos I'd watched. Many thanks.

[@avigailprince]

Best haircut I've ever had!!

[@larisacortes9629]

Thank you, this is the best DIY haircut I’ve had during lockdown!

[@dianesinclairsmith7783]

Thank you so much!! My curly hair looks great now.

[@raindropaint]

So lovely description of the haircut and looks so good! Thanks for sharing. You're beautiful!

[@ThePwnatron]

You look like Liv Tyler! So pretty! Also an amazing haircut video!

[@thatswhatshesaid6326]

Love it! Mine has gotten way too long and heavy looking and feeling. I need to take off a bit. Thank you.

[@preetibhattacharjee5237]

I'm so late to this but this video is perfect and exactly what I'm looking for! One question I had is, when you cut the straight length first and then do the unicorn, do you avoid getting the v-shape style?

[@KathrynBea]

Great video - followed this and absolutely love my new hair cut !!!

[@wanderlusttorz]

Thanks, my hair is very similar to yours. Am about to try the same 👍🏻

[@tracystarling3280]

Great job explaining and very soothing voice, which helps with my fear 😰😄

[@arleenaartvark1141]

It looks like the feathering you did on all the ends is to lighten the thickness. i have very fine hair and if I omit that work, I wonder if a hairdresser would approve.

[@bethanykeeler4947]

i have fine hair and my hairdresser uses that kind of method on mine all the time to blend the ends. you don't have to do as much with fine hair, though.

[@andreacockayne6956]

I have wavy curly very fine but lots of hair follicles on my head,so it's full but fine and layers will give you body if you have really fine and not a lot of hair follicles 👍

[@kristes976]

Omg, thanks so much!!! One of the best hair cuts I had ever had 😍

[@laurenlamontphoto]

I’ve successfully cut my own hair before, but thought I’d try this and I DO NOT recommend! I have wavy hair but maybe this only works on super curly hair. Either way, totally wrecked the ends of my hair and I’ll probably have to go to a stylist to fix it, in addition to having shorter hair than I had wanted ☹️

[@laurenmorrison4094]

I don’t have super curly hair and this worked just fine on me

[@connielee8290]

Your’re the best ! With tons of thanks 🙏🙏

[@angie6476]

What if you don’t wear your hair parted down the middle, does that not matter?? Should I still part it down the middle to cut it!?

[@dmkooo]

Fabulous video! Thank you! How would you need to adapt the process for an off-center/side part?

[@Truth4peace2024]

Hi so I want to try this but also know what products you are using for after styling? I have similar hair

[@elartvaz7674]

And you got the layers even in the back? What difference it’s between this method and the one you do a few more unicorn layers?

[@misshhuu]

Ok I followed your instructions and cut my hair. Now plz tell me how to get those lovely curls. My hair looks like a roadside shrub.

[@freyaberry]

haha I did a gel cast. Wash hair with a non-sulphate shampoo and cool water, condition with loads of non-silicone conditioner. Don't dry the hair, don't even really remove any water, instead put a non-silicone gel all over it, over the top of your hair (don't rake through). Then use a cotton T shirt to scrunch it into curls (not a towel). I use Biotera Alcohol free Gel. The hair will dry in a hard, curly cast. Only once dry can you then scrunch out the hardness. Don't go mad on it though, to avoid frizz. There are some great 'how to create a gel cast' vids out there x

[@iadoreapplehead]

a bit late but look up the curly girl method! That's basically what this other person is explaining. But you do need to have at least naturally wavy hair, if you have straight hair it's gonna stay straight lol

[@nimrah4157]

just to confirm, will this help prevent curls from dropping?

[@mn8304]

Helpful! I want to try this, but I'm wondering... why the twisting?

[@sueg2658]

Thank you. Your hair looks great. 😊

[@lynnniblock8355]

I think you must have done that hair cut of yours a few times, as you made it look so easy to cut your own hair, as I tried to it and needles to say, it hasn't turned out at all the way it should have even after following your techniques even after me watching your video several times. 💕😊

[@Truth4peace2024]

Can you let know what products you use

[@s1llymuffy]

Your voice is so pretty

[@filukkasunivers2389]

why twist it?

[@veronikafannon820]

[@makeupbyayushib]

Thanks a lot! I look super cute haha :P

[@stephyclaws]

Has anyone watching this tried it on fine hair? I haven't got alot of hair so thought of layers absolutely terrifies me incase I end up looking bald 😂

[@leonalince4612]

I did this cut yesterday and I have really thin and fine hair and it actually still looks nice for my hair type! If you leave your hair natural the waves or curls add a lot of volume to it so it doesn’t look as thin or flat as it would if it was straightened or blow dried :D

[@stephyclaws]

@@leonalince4612 thank you so much! Yes I leave it natural these days 😄 might give it a go! Thank you xx

[@andreacockayne6956]

You look like you have lots of hair but fine hair like me 👍 layers will make you even more curly wavy hair .

Yeah, I almost cut my fingers off!!! :=)
