Easy 4 Point Haircut for Healthy looking hair

[@kileywray4483]

I literally had a client maybe 15 minutes after watching this video, like most women she's a super busy mom who is lucky to make it in once or twice a year (thank you balayage). I showed her this cut, sent the link for your video for her to reference when her cut isn't so fresh! She was so taken aback that I'm encouraging her to maintain her hair at home! Such an old school stigma I've personally tried to squash the moment I stepped behind the chair. I know they will argue that it's going to end up with us not having job security...you're kidding... hasn't the internet already done this? I'd rather be the stylist to show my client amazing resources than for them to find shit tutorials on their own. As for job security, these clients now are eager to prebook and try other services. Thank you Silvia for your amazing work and education!

[@Ellebangs]

+Kiley Wray I bow down to you sister!! You are one talented and progressive thinking stylist!! And you don’t lose a client you just gained even more loyalty from your client! Thanks for sharing! 🖤

[@inabind416]

Kiley Wray I love your attitude! I wish all stylists had the same!

[@JustMe-gs9xi]

what other services,,,,, do you mean a massage,,? or facial,,,,??? thank you,

[@heatherwinebarger3986]

Agree!! What are your favorite scissors? Which ones are you using here?

[@marysunshine170]

I love the black background because it eliminates any distractions and enhances my ability to focus. Great tutorial, thanks!

[@kv2723]

Agree!

[@aubreyodom468]

I’m here because of the corona virus quarantine. Never been so busy and my hair hasn’t been to the stylist since the beginning of December. Had an appointment I booked weeks in advance to a posh salon and it’s cancelled and I’m desperate lol so going to try this cut and an easy highlight since they won’t reopen until after May now. I’m sure lots of women will be viewing this soon for the same reasons. Thankyou so much!

Anyone else here because they need a trim but can’t leave the house with the stay at home orders?

Yup

[@Ellebangs]

What do you guys think of the Black Background? I'm experimenting with new setups! lol. Also, if you do find this video helpful, please do share it - it helps me so much. xx

[@christinak1759]

ellebangs the black backgroumd was perfectiom for thus video! I was able to see everything you were explaining and great job explaining too I understood exactly what you were saying!

[@cydneyewing]

I love the new background! It's nice and clean and I can see everything clearly. And I think it would be alright if you wanna use your old background for like chit chat videos but this one is great for videos like this.

[@ThatsTheWayItGoes]

ellebangs - eh, not a fan of the black background. It harkens to that of a new KZbinr and you are way more vetted! This video is helpful. What do you think about “slither” cutting or dragging scissors through the hair without clamping down - just glide through to remove weight. So pretty you are!! Xoxo

[@jesse1001]

I didn’t like it (but I love you). However, I do agree that it’s great for videos where you want to show us something such as fine details of your hair.

[@GigLifewithLexi]

I loved it because I could see what you were doing on the hair very clearly. But I love both backgrounds.

[@hawaiianflower82]

I never knew about dusting but I am now obsessed. My hair feels SO much healthier after I dusted and trimmed! This is perfect for quarantine, and Thank you for sharing this amazing beauty secret! The salons will never help clients with this!!! SO greatly appreciated because they never help me with my split ends for my entire hair, they only cut the ends. I dusted my hair and my hair not only falls better, but it feels so amazing and healthy now. I had SO much hair sticking out and didn't understand why my hair is never shiny and so tangly, so I really hope this is going to help me grow out my hair without so many broken off areas. My hair really looks immediately soft and shiny after dusting now.

[@maelgwni]

I didn't know about this before this video either. I will definitely try it - I have a lot of 'baby hairs' and shorter hair all through my hair so this is a very useful tip for me.

[@kristacassaraford5985]

This was the only tutorial IN MY LIFE that I didnt have to keep skipping ahead. Perfect. Quick. Instructional. Great job.

[@Racing_Society]

This channel has kept me out of the hairdressing chair for years and honestly my hair has never been healthier. Maybe if I could have Silvia do my hair that’s a different story but you have helped me so much!! Thank you 😊!! Last time a professional touched my hair she fried it off and I’ve never even fried my own hair off... I was honest about all of the processes my hair had been through, I read reviews etc.. this was about 3 years ago and I found Your channel and it’s been on the up and up ever since ! I appreciate how honest you are and how helpful you are it means so much to me and so many others I’m sure.

[@rorocigio]

Thank you soooo much! I am homebound (disabled) and cannot make it to a salon often enough. I am so happy I found your video instead of trying some of the non-professional videos out there. Thank you for the "no-judgement" info, and the understanding.

[@ceeenn3818]

Your video just changed the game forever. I sectioned my hair into four and trimmed it and it looks fantastic again. Thank you so much!

[@jkm253]

Hair stylists have always been some of my favorite people on the planet because when you find a good one it's the best feeling ever walking out of a salon with amazing hair but sometimes life just gets in the way and you can't get to the salon as much as you would like. Thanks for this video to help in between visits!

I’ve been watching you for so long, I feel you’re the only one that genuinely wants us to learn about how to work our own hair. I love you 🙏

[@sarahelizabeth5934]

I wish I would’ve seen this a few months ago! I had beautiful long hair and wanted a trim before my wedding, and she cut off over 6 inches of hair, didn’t frame my face & left me in tears! I’ll probably never go to a hairdresser again. I’m doing this from now on!

[@MandieSavage8]

I was totaly about to pull my hair forward in a ponytail to trim like the last video I saw, but I decided to watch a second video to make sure it was a good way to trim at home. Lol glad I saw this video because this is how I'm going to trim instead. Thanks

[@lagaufrette6781]

Bonjour! I just cut my hair following your tutorial and i am so satisfied with the result! layers are blended, it all looks clean an neat and classy. Thank you!! ♥

[@amyvartenuk]

After I watched this I got brave and tried it on myself after months of wishing for a healthy trim, and it looks so great!!!!! THANK YOU for making it so simple for those of us stuck at home! 😍😍😍

[@mj3151990]

This is amazing!!! Thank you so much for making this video! Ive been getting my hair done for 15 years and learned more in one video than a decade of salon visits. Please keep making great content!!!!

[@letthecreativityout7521]

I'm here because of needing to trim while on quarantine! I feel so much safer following this video from a real hairdresser rather than some random 20yr old KZbinr. Thank you, ellebangs!! You are so awesome! i love the way your explain things.

Im in Cosmetology School right now and have been binge watching your videos! I grad in June! I hope to be as knowledgeable as you ;)

I watched this video and immediately busted out the tail comb and had my boyfriend help me with parting the back of my head, he was so nervous, lol. Loved this - thank you for a quick and easy tutorial to help us combat quarantine hair! 💛

[@emmao893]

As soon as I saw this, I went and dusted my hair, which has so many odd broken hairs sticking out at the back. No hairdresser I know has ever suggested to do this for me as a service and I can't believe how easy it is to do from home! And my hair already looks so much better! I'm going to try the trim next. Thank you! Love your videos!

[@jennifergrove2368]

Love this! Can you also do a video on trimming your own hair but also keeping a V shape?

[@Ellebangs]

Thanks! :) Added to the list. xx

[@kathyo9420]

This was exactly what my crispy ends needed. I was able to take off about an inch and with the cutting into the ends technique it made for a softer and forgiving edge if it wasn't "perfect". My length is (was!) below my bra strap and this worked perfectly. I've never cut my length before, only fringe when I've had it. This saved me time and money. Thanks.

[@briannetalbot6906]

Wow, been using this video for a year now. I've been trying to grow out my hair forever and this video makes me feel confident in giving myself a trim. I actually use this as my main hair cut without seeing a stylist after. Saving me $$$. Thank you

[@queenwolf5501]

Please can you explain for me the nose slope guide i didnt get it 😢

[@SophieKristiansen]

Just did this to myself in realtime, it literally took me under 5 min to perform this cut on myself and I love the result! Also currently mixing up some toner against brass all thanks to what I have learned through your videos. Thank you for all that hard work you do. Hugs xx

[@laurapagano5365]

Just did this on my dry hair- it came out perfect! I was able to undo a bad cut!!

[@doloresmikula3861]

thank you! I have not had my hair cut in at least a year (due to Covid of course). I couldn’t understand why I was getting these tangled, matted rat nests in my hair over the last month or so... you explained it at the end of the video. Split end city, I’m sure. So I’m going to try your method.

[@jenm4137]

I know I have already messaged on here before about this cut lol but I LOVE this cut! It’s super easy like she says and my hair has grown so much with keeping up on my ends! Thanks so much for sharing this cut 💗💋😘

[@MooGooMichi]

Thank you so very much for this video!! So simple and worked great!i really needed a way to maintain some health between my six month stretches to my hair lady!!

[@livingloved1733]

I cut my hair just like you said and did a shu uemura colour lustre treatment and feeling like i just stepped outta the salon. Thank you 💕

[@vanessaazevedo9722]

I thought this video was very helpful for exactly what I needed, a trim! I have really thick hair, so I had to do a few more sections for my perimeter trim. All in all I am very happy with your video. Thank you for taking the time to do this.

[@denisehaddock3569]

I love your videos. You have brought me from a level 3 all the way to a level 9 with no orange tones. And i have watched your video to cut my moms hair and she has gotten so many compliments on her cut. Thank you so much ❤

[@KimmyBebee]

Wow I just seen an orb behind you Elle it starts on the right about 1.05 1.06 goes behind your back and about 1.10 it’s up on the left 😮 someone’s watching your tutorials hehe thank you for all your help over the years you have really helped me 🙂 x

[@lydiaderhake2532]

Thank you so much for explaining a "dusting". I've never heard of this, but it's exactly what my hair needs on the top layers, that are so much more damaged than the underneath parts. Thank you thank you!! 💕

[@samanthadunn9115]

Wow! My hair is halfway down my butt and I've been scared to find a new hairdresser! Just done the perimeter trim and it looks perfect!!!!! Thank you!

[@LoriThurstonInTunePhoto]

I very much appreciate your channel and awesome tips. This cut was great! I tried your older diy color at home vid with Redken blond idol. It worked well except the newest growth turned out a persistent orange (more strawberry). Light, but orange. Blue Wella toner didn’t fix it, t18 I think. I watched the one where you demo with the wella level samples and undertones inside folder. Super. Cleared up my understanding. I’m gonna have to be a little orange for a week and try again. The base breaker seemed such a great idea, but the new growth pulled so orange. Anyway I’m learning more with every video, so thanks!

[@betsy1307]

I wait too long in-between cuts and then feel embarrassed about the condition of my hair when I do go. I am overdue at the moment but thanks to your video I trimmed my ends a little and now it looks perfect. Thank you so so much!!!

[@mls3555]

Thanks so much for sharing this hair cut & all of your other awesome tips/advice! My hair is thick so it's a tad challenging- likes to run away from the shears LOL. I would love it if you would tell us thick haired girls how to manage all of that when cutting it...

[@gretastu]

I've just tried your technique at home and my hair looks much better now. Thank you, great video:)))

[@butterflyforeve]

I wish I was close to you I just love your approach to hair styling and the fact that you try and teach us how to save money makes me love you even more. Thank you

[@doobiely]

Loving your tips! I just have a question regarding the short hair sticking out. Could it also be new growth? Or would new growth not stick out like damaged hair? Thank you

[@vanessaramberg9792]

Thank you so much for such great instructions. Exactly what I was looking for and my hair looks and feels great after my trim. 😊

[@robinsargueta2055]

I love the way you explain things, you have a gift!

[@Ellebangs]

+Robin S Argueta aw thanks!! Outside of playing with hair, my other favorite thing is to talk about it! 💛

[@robinsargueta2055]

lol and I subscribed so I will be listening!

[@iwillstom]

I’ve been wanting “no blunt lines” sort of mermaid style haircuts for the last 20 years and 9 times out of 10 I come out with something that is much closer to Pulp Fiction bob than Carrie Bradshaw. This wispy, jagged style is more popular now than it was back then so I wonder why it’s still so hard to get when I request it, even when showing pictures of the exact shape I want.

[@etaylor8028]

Just because the hair sticks out doesn’t necessarily mean it’s damaged. It just means it’s not as long as the rest of the hair. This is because hair falls out after a few years, and each hair falls at a different time (if they all fell out at the same time we’d all be bald every few years), so the shorter hair could just be newer.

[@ThatsTheWayItGoes]

Dubai Girl - what? Shut up...you don’t even make sense! Dork

[@Piperjones12]

True, but severely uneven hair "looks" damaged. Also true. Best to cut it

[@TheGabapocalypse]

Nasren_91 this is the best explanation I've seen. Thank you. Some people just won't understand this.

[@etaylor8028]

Of course the shorter hairs will also be undergoing wear and tear but they will not have near as much wear and tear as the longer hairs and usually do not need to be trimmed.

[@TheGabapocalypse]

Not necessarily. If you use a lot of heat, such as blow drying your hair or styling it with a flat iron or curling iron, you will get a lot of breakage in the middle of your hair. Also if you use a lot of product along with that, or you just have brittle hair in general, anywhere you style it can cause breakage all over.

[@happytrails699]

You are the best. I love all your tips. Even though I have shorter hair, your tips help me cut my own hair so much better.

[@Ellebangs]

Aw thank you :)

[@Gena777-r95]

Hi, I did the same. Went and got a choppy, supposed to be modern shag. It is horrid and the color is even worse. I could just die!! Now looking at another year of hair growth jjust to get it back where it was at. Let me tell you, this girl did not know how to cut a shag!!! I will have to do the same, let it grow and trim the ends, and wait patiently lol. From now on, I will do my own hair. My only dilemma now is finding the exact true color to match my natural color because of grays..

[@TheOana]

This is awesome!i am very light blonde with fine hair and have same split ends problem.i'm definitely trying the cut asap.i'm a bit afraid of trimming the breakage, since i have a lot :(...

I honestly didn't know I could do this on my own. It's a video I'm definitely going to keep saved because I want to keep my hair looking as nice as I can in between my chances in going in to get it done professionally. Hopefully, this will also encourage my hair to grow longer at least a bit. I miss having long hair.

[@nemuihana]

Thank you so much for this! I've been trying to cut down on expenses and want to keep my hair growing healthy. Keeping it informative helps me understand the techniques better. It's lovely that you updated a previously done video.

[@heatherleigh6635]

Do you have any suggestions on helping fine, naturally curly, frizzy hair to grow while still highlighting hair? I am a natural dark blonde with highlights. I also use heat to style. I’m at my wits end with getting it to really grow and maintain blonde. Thank you

[@kikim9153]

Great tutorial - really easy to follow. This is just what i needed as it my hair was looking scraggy and getting longer by the second. It came out pretty well. Also, the bit about the dead hair, wow, feels and looks so fresh now. Thank you!!

can I know what brand of keratin you use on your hair that doesn't cause yellow hairs? thx

[@Justme77400]

Do you think this technique will work for curly hair? I can’t get a brush or comb through it especially when it’s dry. Then again I guess I can just use my fingers with some leave in conditioner to get it even as possible. Thanks for this video!

oh my goodness, thank you so much for this video! Months ago I had my hair bleached so many times in one session by someone and it completely fried my hair (cut off 5 inches due to the damage), and drained my bank account. I will definitely be doing this at home until I feel ready to go back to the salon again. xo

[@lauras627]

Omg! I did it! I’m so happy. I definitely need more practice on getting the back even. I used shears scissors from Sallie’s!

Bleaching my hair on my own for two years has caused my hair to have so much breakage :( i learned from you and I will always thank you because I received so many compliments. I dyed my hair red one last time over the bleach and went back to my brown hair. I trust you but I don’t trust myself so I’m going to a hair salon to trim my breakage lol

Luv your video BUT it looks so easy for you cause your hair is long & straight, I had to get my length cut to my shoulder blades cause it was so damaged anyway it's cut in 3 layers plus it's very curly; I would really like to do this should I straighten it, wet it or something 1st? & it would be a 6 point cut right?

[@ja0k]

Do i need to straighten my hair or does it not matter?
