@Cayden Mekhi - It’s funny that you and the person who commented below you both joined 2 weeks ago.... kinda suspish 🤔

[@emmadawe7625]

It worked! OMG I never thought I could cut my own hair like that! I’ve managed a trim and on the layers. It all looks smart and healthy again! Thank you so much for doing this tutorial!

[@FrankieWhite]

I completely agree that people are taking their hair in to their own hands. Great that this content is available for people that need it x

[@sheila1013]

Hi Silvia. Two years on, I've really enjoyed your videos which are so easy to follow. Since COVID I have let my natural colour come through which luckily for me has turned how to be a pale shade of grey with silver streaks in parts. Now my haircare has never been so easy and cheap with it. 😃 Thanks so much. You've helped me a lot along the way. Best wishes from Lancashire, UK. 😃🤗

[@veronicakerr4920]

Thank you Sylvia for 5 years I have enjoyed cutting my own hair thanks to your sharing, I wish I knew this when I was younger, love not going to appointments now

[@fawnmarkowitz4653]

I just wanted to thank you. I am using your hair care routine for about 6 weeks now since I watched the video and my hair instantly looked and felt great.

[@jeanettelee9848]

This video has been a godsend throughout the pandemic. I’ve come back to it regularly (have only been able to get a proper haircut twice this year due to lockdowns!). We have the same cut which helps. Thank you so much and keep well & safe 🙏🏼

[@remnantawake6825]

Found your channel during quarantine. Did my re-growth - success! Did my highlights - success! Last step - Haircut - will work up the courage. Thanks for your awesome videos. You are gorgeous, love your work :)

[@emmadawe7625]

I’m glad I found this, I need a trim and didn’t feel confident enough to cut it, I have to say I was tempted by the unicorn ponytail and snip job but I am glad I found this one before trying it!

[@lucys6223]

Newbie here at cutting my own hair. Watched your video a few times and followed along the final time, wasn’t even that precise and it still looks pretty good! Thank you!

[@sarahpenney4881]

I cut my hair tonight with this video, tired eyes and a belly full of pasta. I followed everything, even had some Olaplex and it turned out amazing! I cut my front layers a little too short and they don't look as feathered as they would in a salon, but I point cut into them and they've blended really well. Thank you so much! A little rub of hair oil and my hair feels SO much better. Can't wait to get to my hairdresser, but this has helped me so much in the mean time!

[@kimc1570]

Thanks for sharing and blessings from sunny and hot FL! You have been an amazing help to me in quarantine, and I’ve referred to your videos time and again while attempting to color and highlight and even cut my hair. So, thank you for your “work at home” which I’m sure helps so many more people than me! Please don’t stop!! Must be so hard to make a decision like this, and I’m sure your clients will be supportive. I wish you continued success in whatever you do going forward. 😁

[@miasstuff1948]

Thank you soooo much for your videos! I can’t tell you enough how much you have made me feel better and empowered to be able to do something about my hair during our Covid quarantine lock-down here in Melbourne Australia. I’m now 6 months out from my last hair appointment and feeling really down about how I looked. I am so excited to be able to do some temporary fixes till I get back there. Thanks again!! Take care and be safe from your new fan in Australia! :D

[@becurious17]

Wow!! I've wondered why my hair on the right side of my head seems longer sometimes..it's the side I sleep on! I've never heard any other stylist mention that before. It totally makes sense now. 🙌

[@ran-dee3966]

I've been a cosmetologist for over 25 years.. due to life.. marriage.. 4 kid's. Thank you for keeping me informed.

[@jessicasmith7102]

Your hair is exceptionally gorgeous!

[@jamieb4904]

Thank you so much for the help...With this pandemic there are lots of people like me who have never trimmed their own hair finding ourselves with no other choice. You are a Great teacher, this is very easy to understand, and greatly appreciated. One request would be for there to be a darker background in your future videos to make it easier to see your gorgeous blonde hair as you are trimming the ends. Thanks 😊

[@christinathomas2421]

THANK GOD FOR YOU! I am 35 weeks pregnant with twins and I am so tired I just want to cut my hair OFF. All I have energy to do is wash it and put it in a bun, it is thick and wavy and almost touching my butt and I am OVER IT. Will be doing my best to follow this and trim it after I buy some good ✂️

[@dianebays5484]

You make it look so easy, and effortless!

[@Yazmínmf]

I love your hair cutting videos! I’ve learned so much and it has had my hair looking great! Thank you 🙏 I’ve been following for years 💕

[@mmespooky]

Thank you SO much for making this video!! I just trimmed my hair and it looks great, i'm so happy with it. This was so well explained and simple, unlike a lot of videos that have so many steps it made me nervous. This was actually the perfect tutorial. Also i've loved your channel for years, you have the best hair content

[@hameley12]

Thank you! I've been wanting to go get a hair cut for months, tomorrow I will try out your advice. Keep on being awesome and keeping yourself safe 🙆‍♀️ 🙇‍♀️

[@rubyrayne8]

I have super think hair, so I don’t want to try and cut the length. But I did cut curtain bangs, u even bought pro scissors and I think I did a great job! I think I’m going to go in and create more. Maybe if I can get desperate I’ll try cutting the length w help. And good tip with the point cutting and leaving 3 inches from finger to end.

[@skyehigh3442]

I just love your style and suggestions! Glad I discovered you during this quarantine :)

[@jidingok6626]

me too

[@mignacruz3534]

Great video, Thank you so much! What brand/ type scissors do you recommend? Thanks again!!!

[@bdzpop]

Silvia = the savior our hair needed

[@raefranco5824]

Oh my god! My messed my hair up so bad that I've been working out so everyone looks at my body and not my hair. This video came too late. Hahaha!

[@jenthebubble1914]

Tips to growing out a fringe (bangs) would be appreciated xx

[@marianelson5758]

I was just thinking, I wanna cut my my hair and then I get this video recommended to me.

[@Ellebangs]

haha intuitive YT.

[@kirstymacfarlane1620]

Thanks Silviya, my hair is very similar to yours except my back isn't shorter than the front and my fringe is shorter so I'll probably just stick to either point cut or a bit of dusting, yes I remember that video! Nice to see you so looking well, really appreciate your help xx

[@cmac6992]

Love your zen energy. I did a home self trim! Before the point cutting it was choppy. Would you point cut fine ends too(my college age daughter's is super fine, blonde hair), or leave the perimeter? Her face framing areas of long layers are looking thin. Trying to convince her a trim will make things look healthier.

[@brigit6915]

Hi! Can you suggest some scissors to use to trim your hair yourself at home? Thanks for this video! Super helpful!

[@katiekate3476]

I ask my stylist to give me curtain bangs, and she did exactly what u said, straight across but did not give the other layer of curtain bangs. Good video, thanks for the info.

[@lloydellmiller6279]

Love your videos. They have helped me so much!! Thank you!!

[@bookkeeperac5050]

You are so pretty I watch your videos everyday 6 mos before I snip :)

[@chloerobinson6950]

Please do a make up tutorial of this look! x

[@LuzmilaMH]

Thank you. I need to cut my hair so badly. Will use your tips.

[@lyndabales5437]

This is the best haircut done by yourself ,, this is for me Thank thank you

[@nikog4354]

soooo jelly of your natural hair, it’s literally what i’ve tried for liiiiike, my whole life. lol

[@bubblekittea]

You're so gorgeous, thank you for this tutorial as my paranoia is in overdrive and I can't go to the hairdressers, I wish you were my friend!

[@ChelseaPearl]

Silvia, you are saving my hair right now!! Do you have a good pair of shears you recommend? I have been avoiding my regular scissors and using my eyebrow scissors since they’re super sharp. I should buy a real pair of shears if lockdown is planned to go on any longer.

[@labornurse]

Amazon has good pairs. Just make sure they are stainless steel.

[@browneyedgirl1100]

Thank you so much for this awesome and informative video. When you hold your hair straight up and cut it (away from your head) does it come out shorter or longer than if you cut it when it’s laying straight down? Thank you so much, looking forward to hearing from you.

[@magtagmakeup9120]

Your hair looks so good and you make it look so easy!

[@ClassifyMedia]

This is really what we need! Thanks for the advice!

[@sabinekreuz]

I love it, when you are laughing into the camera...😘

[@ariamembreno6119]

hi! i knew you had a hair cut video you made years ago and i searched for you hoping you had a new one yay!!!! i trimmed my hair.. or at least tried... and i have like 2 longer parts in my hair the hair at the back of the neck is longer than the front but it doesn't look good at all because i cut my layers too short.. I'm hoping watching this video ill be able to fix my botched haircut lol

[@fabsmattison]

My hair has gone a brassy colour from not bleaching my hair! What purple or blue shampoo do you recommend?

[@donnaramsey9396]

Can u to a video on a short hair cut, my grandma wants me to cut her hair but she loves it very very short!

[@xristina831]

Hello Sylvia,since you are hair expert,I think that it would be good to do some video about trihotilomania and how to recover from it Great videos,always pleasure to watch

[@cindymitcheltree7961]

Great tutorial! I have very thin, fine hair. Should I point cut?

[@michellep8709]

Hi Sylvia I'm late watching this video, what kind of scissors do you recommend please just for point cutting/softening?

[@bamagal660]

I love your videos, could you do a trim/cut with a side part??

[@melindabirgean2687]

Your hair looks so good even in the beginning of the video:))

[@Ellebangs]

my goal would be to feel comfortable in wearing my hair naturally air dried, my hair would love me for it.

[@melindabirgean2687]

I am wearing my hair naturally air dried since I am blonde (since last year ) and I haven’t used heat tools since then ,even a blow dryer

[@amygibson4435]

Do you recommend a particular comb for trimming your own hair like the one you used in the video? Thanks!!!

[@lafandenuel5605]

I've been doing bob on myself last 5 years. 4 sections, 2 mirrors, good scissors and all the time I need before showering. I do it twice or 3 times a year. I don't dye my hair and I use a hairdrier hardly once or twice a year, so I have no problems further than breakage due to hair combs.

[@fannygo6673]

What scissors do you recommend for this? I need to get a dry hair pair. I have a wet hair pair but is very choppy when the hair is dry.

[@lynnrose7562]

You explain things very well.

[@abigailmonroy6776]

Saw this too late 😂 I messed it up so had to keep cutting it to fix it now I have a bob cut which I actually like, I would e never gone that short if it wasn’t for my mistake lol

[@Ellebangs]

I love happy mistakes! I'm sure your new bob is perfect!

[@michelek6167]

Good morning I'm fairly new to your channel and I am so appreciative of your content esp these days. With that being said, could you please direct me to a pair of reasonably priced shears on Amazon to cut/trim my hair at home. Thank you in advance. Have a great day!

[@terrific2ify]

I wish u were my hair dresser.

[@Mruiz422]

Any recommendations for which pair of scissors to buy?

[@CV-cg9yg]

[@susanconroy2131]

Hello! You and I have the same hair type and color. Do you think there is a way of coloring my hair at home or should I wait until I can go back to my hair colorist? I have about 3 inches of dark roots now..

[@cristinaplatz7572]

Thanks for your tips! I'll try today! I live in Buenos Aires and wanted to buy the Monat products. Can I do it from the link bellow?

[@janetschwartz8604]

I love your videos! They’re so helpful! I have a couple of questions. When mixing lighteners, I have 2 questions. When it says 1:1.5 which part is the lighter and which part is the developer? Also I read where I can combine Wella Blondor Extra Cool Blonde w/Wella Multiblonde. How much of the Cool Blonde can you add? Thank you!

[@JennaSynthetic]

I can help with the first part of your question! 1 part color, 1.5 parts developer. Hope that helps!

[@HisWifeySou]

Is it a normal scissor or a fading one?

[@pyrrhichos]

Made the mistake of cutting my hair in pigtails and it left the v shape at the back hahaha, it's not too atrocious and it'll grow back but I'll definitely try a different method next time

[@shearsparkle]

Ok something like this I feel confident to try. My split ends are so bad. I don’t wanna be disloyal to my stylist but I’ve not gotten a trim since the fall& I’m concerned how much length I’ll lose just due to breakage. I’m also pretty cautious-I’ve watched this 3x just to make sure& I’ll probs watch it at least 2x more 🙈

[@Ellebangs]

I promise this cut is pretty fool proof!

[@shearsparkle]

ellebangs thanks 💖💖💖 waiting for my hair to air dry& kiddos to be in bed so that way I can take my time& not be stressed 😁😁😁

Shes a hairdresser, our scissors are hundreds of dollars. Your best bet for home scissors is somewhere like Sally's beauty.

@@labornurse I dont know if I'd trust cutting hair with $10 scissors .....I stick with something around at least $40 bucks....you get what you pay for. My last pair was $1200 for professional ones. You dont need that for a home hair cut but you do want a decent edge you dont have to sharpen after 1 haircut

When the notification came and it said bodge, I thought, "surely she means botch, but I don't know *every* English word, so I better google it." And, lo and behold, bodge was correctly used (it's a synonym for botch)! So I say change it back and force us to learn a new word. Go, Adam!

@@larsonanne haha, I like the word Bodge better, but I think people recognize Botch over Bodge.
