I love the wolf cut! Finally; a cut for my thick hair, I can't afford to go to the salon, so these videos help me a lot. Now if I can get my husband to watch a video so he can cut my hair! He's willing to do it, he's such a good guy!

[@karynsuepohlmeier2109]

Seriously, you did a great job and your hair turned out beautifully!! I love the curls! I've cut my own hair for years the exact same way you did in this tutorial and it always turns out good. I'm 50 y/o and still have pretty thick hair and I do keep it long even though they say once a woman gets older she should shorten her hair but I say, live and let live! To each their own! Great job! ♥️✂️💇🏼

[@carolsanders3979]

I'm 53 and have hair down to my waist and it's thick my daughter does my color and trims she went to school for it I don't fall into that crap a woman in her fifties and up shouldn't have long hair if you can rock long when your older then do so I get compliments on how long and thick my hair is I'm not ready to cut my hair don't know if I ever will be but will see .

[@heathernks8]

I turned 50 three months ago and felt the same way. Now, I look haggard and old so I have to git rid of some length as it's pulling my face down. As long as folks can still rock it and feel bright and energetic, absolutely go for it!💯

Ugh! Same. My hair is so thin since I've had my last baby. I just hope my hair turns out like hers. 😕

[@glendagrant9042]

I tried this tonight. I had medium length hair but had grown a lot. I had colored it today so had more volume. I have natural wave but when too long lays flat on my head. It looked awful just laying ugly flat and too long. I decided it couldn't look much worse so I went for it. After the cut I turned it upside down and applied some gel and scrunched it. I let it air dry as I always do. I cannot do much styling as I have back issues as I am older. I also trimmed my bangs. It looks so much better. I will definitely do it again.

Colorist here. Maybe you could consider extensions instead of bleach. You’ll get your fun blonde without the damage. Meanwhile get some Olaplex to help with the damage. I had a minor heart attack when you showed us your breakage. 😄

[@AprilG]

Oh no 😮🏥I'm sorry lol

[@unknownangel3101]

Me too! I used to be a stylist and could not believe the destruction of the hair! 😲😲😲 Try to rest your hair while you are using treatment, and not to heat treat as often, straighteners etc. Anna UK.

[@caroldmiller2744]

Me too! I bet it has that gummy feeling when it's wet. I was doing a ladies hair for the first time. I asked if she had any recent bleach or color treatment. She assured me she had not so I continued with the bleaching. When I rinsed it was gummy an breaking off. I had to cut her hair into a pixie. I was pissed that she lied to me an mortified that people were going to know I did that. I was so upset over it that I quit coloring hair at my shop. I think it gave me PTSD.

[@sheilaabraham4350]

@@caroldmiller2744 I had almost the same situation once. I went to the back and told my friends (and accomplished stylists as well) and they said, “Well it’s about time welcome to the club!”😄 It’s the best thing they could have said at that moment.

[@brendadon9394]

The haircut looked very nice.

[@Tesseus2006]

Hi Love! Your hair went elastic because whatever lightening agent you put it on was left for too long. You gotta be extremely careful when you comb it. I am glad you cut a good length of your hair. This way it's less of a burden. Use coconut oil on your ends and any dry area to seal the cuticle. When you do use coconut oil. Dont use hot tools until you wash it off.

[@chrystalthornton1502]

Have a family member with long thin straight hair and I've been thinking a butterfly cut would be great for her (get that stuff out of a bun). Your video just proves my point because it looks great.

[@AprilG]

😊thank you so much 💕 I appreciate your lovely comment.

[@jrboudreau6]

So cute!!! Turned out great! ❤️ You need aphogee 2 step protein treatment, available at Sally’s. Miracle stuff, but make sure you use it right and especially don’t agitate your hair while it dries or it could snap where you bend it.

[@AprilG]

That's what I've been using I recorded it just never posted it but will show how it used to look vs now

[@uraluralie1725]

No you have all wrong Jules B ! From what I can see April has beautiful natural hair !! All she needs is growing it out and stop putting chemical shit colours on it. Just use castor oil once a weekend stop coloring and come back in2 years to show u result ❤

[@donnaw246]

I would recommend olaplex treatments over any other protein bonding treatment. I've seen olaplex heal hair damage and restore bonds on severely damaged hair to keep it from snapping as easily. There's no way some of the damage I've seen should have been able to be restored by anything, but after a few olaplex treatments it went from sad and lifeless to winning!!

[@amymbeauty8765]

@@donnaw246 YES to this, but make sure the system is used right!

[@sondraarrache1908]

If you have low porosity hair, too much protein can cause breakage.

your hair looks nice at the end ... but you parted slightly wrong + cut it at wrong angles... he made it clear *from apex to a parting behind the ear, not infront * when cutting front ponytail place it at an angle, not straight down * back ponytail cut holding it at a front diagonal angle not forward. Also if you want stronger hair, take a teaspoon of coconut oil 5days weekly after water and before any food in the morning...

[@TheWondabar]

You’re the first one I’ve seen use the side of the comb to part your hair and it’s the right way. You’ve got the straightest part of any of the other videos that I’ve seen. Good job!

[@AprilG]

Thank you 😊

[@e.erin.]

The last time my ex-husband had some backhanded comment designed to control the length of my hair, I cut it into a pixie. “I’m just kidding” is a gaslighting tactic. His goal is to play on your insecurities and plant a seed of concern: If I cut my hair, he won’t find me attractive. That kind of shit will keep a person spinning for years. Someone down there said that abuse comes in many forms. She is so right. Just keep these comments in the back of your mind. File them away, and remember them. Everybody who left one wants to see you happy.

[@DoniaDesautels]

I came here to say what you just did, thank you! Men should be making exactly ZERO comments about what we do with our bodies, including the skin and hair attached to it.

[@TimpBizkit]

I do think a buzz cut can look a bit odd on a woman (unless they have an exceptionally pretty face structure), but a pixie cut looks nice.

[@Grimmarox]

I like the haircut. It's similar to what we had in the later part of the 70s called the shag but prettier and very manageable.

[@caroldmiller2744]

I had hair to my waist and had a habit of falling asleep with gum in my mouth. 😂 I was in 2nd grade. I would sit for hours with my mom using butter an crisco to get it out. She warned me that if it happened again she would cut my hair. Well I ended up with a shag.😩 I think this cut reminds me of the Farrah Faucet style.

[@pjSoCal23]

You could’ve put a bonder treatment on it a couple times a week. Olaplex or Redken acidic bonding concentrate intensive treatment. No heat, and continue to get trims for your hair. It’s very difficult to bleach very dark hair. My hairstylist will never bleach jet black hair. She turns clients away because of the damage it will cause to the hair.

[@tamarastrong3036]

Chi Silk or bio silk light should be your best friend right now! Silk contains 17 of the 19 amino acids that are in the hair and it holds 3 xs it’s weight in water (so keeps the moisture in). There is also bio silk balm conditioner.

[@tamarastrong3036]

@@deeg1785 I’m not sure where you are coming up with not adding silk prior to heat. Hopefully with her hair in the condition it is she wouldn’t be using any heat. But chi silk/bio silk is safe to put on before or after heat. It also serves as a protectant.

Beautiful professional results, continue your treatments.

[@DanteVelasquez]

Very Charlies Angels circa 2000! The reality is that hair is a long journey and learning experience. I can't count the number of times over the years that I damaged my hair either experimenting or by accident. But we learn and it grows back. A few tips on how to avoid damage if we can: 1) lifting hair more than 3 levels at a time is always likely to cause severe damage (using 40 or 50 volume to do it is even worse with lightener), 2) chemical re-texturizers (curly perms, straight perms, keratin, hair botox, relaxers, thermal reconditioning, texturizers) always have the potential to damage hair or alter texture or color in ways we don't want or expect, 4) High heat styling even with heat protectant and too often (400 degrees and higher) depending on your hair type always has the potential to damage, weaken and over-dry hair which will make it break off, 5) Improper shampooing (bad shampoos, too frequently, not conditioning after) always has the potential to over-alkalize hair (hair is on the acid side of the ph scale), dry it out and make it break off, and finally 6) Combining any or all of these will increase the potential for damage, breakage, texture or color alteration a great deal. Olaplex or other bond builders, protein treatments, and conditioning treatments can only repair so much. Once hair is pushed past a certain point there will be no coming back from that, and no treatment can do anything to restore the hair to a healthy state at that point. The only remedy is a haircut. Great alternatives for texture or color changes are wigs and extensions, and they are also a great way to try something before you commit as hair health is the most important thing. This all being said, everyone should always do what they want to do with their hair for whatever reason they feel they should and it's no ones business. Just be prepared to accept the consequences and remember it will grow back if you need to cut it 🙂

[@Mistyvalentine]

I feel bad about the condition of your hair. I did that to mine years ago and I was so bummed out. Hang in there because it grows back so fast that it will soon be a distant memory. It did look nice after you curled it though! BTW, what kind of curling iron was that? I love how it made the spiral curls! Ooos, never mind I just found out what it was in the description. thank you

[@rg1whiteywins598]

Her hair looks not so bad. It has a fine silky texture and thus isn't so thick. I don't color mine so I don't know how much that affects it but her hair doesn't look damaged.

[@Mistyvalentine]

@@rg1whiteywins598 Didn't you watch the whole video? Did you see when she pulled on the stands and they broke? She even said so herself that it is very damaged. I wasn't trying to make her feel bad, in fact, I was trying to make her feel better when I said how fast it will grow back. Any chemical you put on your hair has an effect on its condition. Many permanent hair dyes use three components: ammonia (NH3), hydrogen peroxide (H2O2), and p-phenylenediamine or something very similar to it.

Just as it was starting to dry a lil bit before u cut it, it was super frizzy & didn’t even rly resemble hair. I’m so glad u chopped it off!

[@kasiakarewicz1210]

Brad Mondo was cutting under angle of 45 degrees front, and back also pulling hair into front under similar angle. You cut your hair without this angle, flat, it makes difference, still you look great!

[@katbrunelle2290]

I have never cut may hair that forces me a style it. I had shag cut once back in the 70's and NEVER again. It looked like a hay stack unless it was curled. Pain in the ass, always having to mess with it.. Since then, I've kept it 1 to 2 layered long lengths so when it dries on its own it still looks good. I don't have to use products and appliances on it.

[@littlebeebs1]

OMG ! Try Lamellar Water ! I have the Not Your Mother’s Smooth Move Lamellar Water. It helped heal mine a lot . I once had mine falling apart while it was wet too .
