HOW I CUT MY OWN HAIR AT HOME (Easiest Long Layers) ✂️

This was one of my FAVORITE haircuts ever! 😄 In this video I'm going to show you the super quick & easy DIY way I cut long layers into my own hair using a modified "butterfly cut" method to keep the layers in the back long and tapered while the front is full of volume like in a 90's layered haircut.
I'm just soooo impressed with the results! Give the vid a thumbs up if it was helpful and let me know if you try it out ✂️

I've been wanting to try cutting my own hair for the longest time and finally just DID IT! I'm actually so, so pleased with how good it turned out so I'm definitely going to do this again in the future, especially since I'm pretty picky with salon cuts and I hate that awkward part at the end if you want to adjust anything. Anyone else like this? 😅 It was actually very easy and straightforward so I hope this was helpful!

[@tyv3229]

I L❤VE IT! I only tried Brad Mondo’s tutorial and it came out very similar to your style. It feels so refreshing, right? I, too, saw very little length removed but the feel and body was so apparent. You did an outstanding job! It almost gives K-Pop star vibes. ✨❤✨

[@judysuprtrkr3423]

You are right on point missy!

[@veronicasalas2666]

New sub! Love it! 🥰👍

[@jirowang110]

Thank you! I always get waaaay too many layers cut into my hair. If I can just cut my own hair I would never have a bad haircut again.

[@amuthanagappan4082]

Superb lovely dear

[@whistleblower1826]

Okay. So I just used this cutting style to try for long layers in my hair. She makes it look easy because I'm sure that there is editing that's been done. So what I did, and my hair ended up great, was watch a video three times in a row. When I did my front section I watched how she did it three times. It's almost like measure twice cut. The secret to getting this right is time, time, time. Take your time and do not rush. If you have to do it for 5 times before you cut then measure for five times. This worked out extremely well for me. It probably took me about 45 minutes. Straighten your hair before you do this, and use hair cutting scissors that aren't blunt. If you follow her directions exactly, you will be happy with the way it turns out.

[@user-ni7fd1qw8p]

So I just cut my hair following exactly what you did and it came out amazing!! This is actually the first time I've cut my hair and I'm so happy with the results. Thank you so much. I will be cutting my own hair from now on!

[@yeffer_]

I’ve been cutting my own layers for the past couple years and this is by far the simplest tutorial I’ve used! I was kind of nervous cutting the front so short but it looks great and only took a few mins (my hair is on the thin side) thanks for posting this

[@MissKASEYWRIGHT]

This is going to be my go to maintenance cut for the rest of my life! I was hesitant, but SO glad I did it. It took 5 min and gave my hair new life! 🤯

[@traceyb8370]

THANK YOU, THANK YOU, THANK YOU, finally cut my own hair with layers just like you showed and I'm over the moon - you are amazing thank you.

[@user-wy3pg8vc8f]

Okay THANK YOU!!!!!! I just did this and I feel 100000% better. my hair was driving me so crazy postpartum with hair loss, and the split ends and I've been itching to just slice it all off like Mulan, and I was probably about to give myself a bob out of need to fix it all, but following your steps has given it a style and it was soooo easy and feels so much better. Grazie Mille!!!!!

[@monalishapadhi2312]

Easy to watch hard to do .

[@noordianamohammad7986]

😅😅😅I feel you

[@whistleblower1826]

Well this scares me... Lol

[@Nihawi996]

So true

[@sreelakshmi6909]

Exactly 😊

[@JessicaL085]

I've cut mine and my daughter's hair for years, I will never go to a salon again. I gave my daughter a wolf cut last year, I cut 13 inches off, she LOVED it. Her friends all have me cut their hair now. It's honestly not hard if you follow the directions exactly

[@user-ye6sn5ej9w]

Perfect! And thank you. Mom of 6 here and no income to spend on myself so this is an absolute gift

[@kimchaffa]

I get this! I asked my hair stylist for some really light layers and framing around my face. She said no because it's too thin. But I've had them before and they looked great! Lol so I've just started cutting my own hair. I can't justify spending over $80 on a haircut that isn't even fully what I want. You did a GREAT job! Looks beautiful! 🙌🏻

[@kelliemishmish]

I did this and half-assed it and it still looks great. I'm positive an actual hair stylist would see my mistakes but I'm happy with how it turned out, I just needed a quick refresh and this helped so much. I have thick long hair that is a mix of wavy, curly and straight so I figured there's not much I can do to make it look worse! I think it turned out nicely. My hubby likes it ❤

[@hannahs8404]

This is such a great tutorial. As someone who has had unsuccessful hair cutting stories and trying to save some money, this was the best balance of mixing a butterfly cut with just cutting some layers while maintaining length!

[@KirbyTasha]

I just used your method to cut my daughter's hair and it turned out AWESOME! This technique really works for long layers with a v shape in the back. I will definitely do this again! Thanks so much for posting! Love it!

[@samanthadelayne]

I’m so glad I found this video. I have a lot of the same preferences and am often disappointed by salon results. I can’t get anyone to give me the taper and layers I’m looking for, and end up with too much hair the same length. This technique was easy to follow and execute. I got the lightness, tapering, and varied layers I wanted, while maintaining length in the back. Thank you for saving my hair!

[@briglou]

Thank you for making this video. This is exactly how I like my layers to look. I have used it twice now (few months apart) and now I’m absolutely certain I don’t need to leave a hairdresser’s unsatisfied again. I always wear my hair wavy or curly so it’s a perfect cut for that style. ❤

[@user-ek4zd4ot6q]

Cut my hair after watching a few tutorials and ultimately decided on following your tutorial, it came out great! I went a little shorter for the front fringe per my personal preference lol, thanks for a great tutorial 💗 saved me a lot of money!

[@leevang6144]

Easy to watch and follow! Tried it and I have to say I’m super happy with how it turned out! Definitely gonna be cutting my own hair at home from now on. Love the voluminous look and still keep my length! Thank you so much for this diy!

[@kellyracer576]

I just tried the cut on myself at home and I love it! Thank you so much

[@5432l0]

100% recommend!!! I did it and it came out really nice. It’s been about 15 years since I had l layers and today I decided to give it a try and I’m happy with the end results definitely recommend! Thank you

[@anshuldrayan6231]

Tried the tutorial and it turned to be very beautiful. Happy with the results. All the ladies out there who are nervous, please do straighten your hair for clarity while cutting.

[@halakz]

Did this video last night, I’m innnnn love with my new hair cut, thank you !! I’ve been growing out a blunt cut hair cut and this has been a game changer ❤❤❤

[@DT-fd7bj]

Followed this cut yesterday and it turned out amazing with my natural wavy hair 😊

[@LdyVV]

That's exactly how I want my hair to be and have been trimming my own hair too since I never liked the way they cut my hair at salons! Your video came out just in time for when I was thinking I needed to cut/style my hair!!

[@frmheadtotoe]

Yessss try it out! Tag me on instagram if you do it

[@smritisingh9138]

Girlssssss.. I'm giving the honest review. I tried it today and it turned out to be perfectttttt. You're gonna love it. But for the perfect look you've to do the partition of your hair as it is told in the video. Follow the steps and you'll achieve the perfect look.

[@karenletourneau3552]

exactly the video I needed for the cut I wanted. It was easy to follow and I loved the way my hair came out. thank you!

[@esmelopez376]

👏🏼👏🏼 Love the results!! Watched your video twice and my hair looks great!!

[@nimaflorio5502]

I just tried this and it was super successful! I have very wavy hair and it looks great! Gave me a better cut than many salon visits. Turned out exactly like what I was wanting! xo

[@juanitazietsman1701]

You explained the exact haircut I always ask for and never get 🤣🤣

[@user-gn8yp5ox2l]

I have been searching for a DYI tutorial that makes sense and actually shows it in the video. Thank you. 2 thumbs up ❤

[@annabeatriz_sm]

I cut my hair with this tutorial and it just turned out perfect, thank you so much!! 😭💗🫶🏽

[@savinabees9220]

I am a hairstylist...15 years ago....This is the best long layered cut I've ever given myself!!! Its so hard to cut your own long hair 😢😶 This one works because of the pointy length in the back. Love it! Thanks for the video❤

[@dreamingofsuger]

I DID THIS. I followed your video and cut my own hair, I have straight asian hair so it was easy to follow your video. Thank you for sharing this tutorial, I've saved this video for future cuts when my hair grows out ♥

[@rhondawilliams2140]

I just did this to my hair yesterday. I love it.

[@maryannagibson5838]

I love how you just cut your own hair, and love the style as well!

[@stylemoodcorner2639]

This the best tutorial I’ve ever seen I already done this and finished effect is the BEST!

[@Onthevirg415]

This was the most straightforward instructional video for layers. Thank you so much! You just saved me $100!

[@JessicaL085]

Doing this right now! ♡♡ I used to get my hair cut at the salon like every 8 weeks, I got the jennifer Anniston in the early 00's pixie cuts, diagonal wedge etc. So i watched my hair get cut a lot, and started cutting my friend's hair and then my own, now having youtube videos to follow makes it even easier! ❤

[@kaylasimmons4408]

I have butchered my haircut the last few times I tried to cut myself, this time it looks amazing! Great video!!!

[@narhaq3438]

Awesome tutorial! Watched your video twice and then cut my hair in 5 mins. I have thin baby fine hair so layers make it look fuller. 🎉

[@kumiray6957]

I tried it today, and it worked very well!! Thank you so much.

[@rachelverdi437]

Ive done a few long layer tutorial hacks... none are quite as entertaining and clear as yours. Just dyed my hair vivid magenta violet balyage, and about to have some snazzy long layers to go with it!! Thank yooou!

[@SpiritualBeautyInc]

I did it! You made it so easy to understand. Thank you. I needed a trim but couldn’t afford a salon.

[@mercedesbardales2933]

Mission accomplished and I love it. I love my long hair but it was so worth taking off 14 inches. Thank you thank you ❤

[@marcywhite4970]

I did it! I didn’t think I could, but I took it slow and I didn’t cut a lot off this first time. I’ll try again in a few weeks and cut more for more layers. What I did looks great, though! A fresh cut…even perimeter…yay! Thank you for this🥰.

[@seniadenisse2463]

I am a hairdreser and I need to tell you I love how looks after the cut.

[@ahsxnzj_]

The hair cut style is suitable for curly hair? Should do that?

[@GA_2993]

Thank goodness ❤ Love the new layers and work like a charm in less than 15 mins. Thank you!

[@thesimpledimplelife9293]

I did it and it ended looking so good! thank you for the tutorial!

[@moniquewilliamsismagic]

This was great and so easy. I had looooong straight hair all one length so it was scary when i made the first cut! Looked like I was out of my mind. But the end result is super cute and exactly what I've been wanting. fee;s great, looks great. Thank you so much!

[@yaminijoshi4948]

Did it on 2 of my sisters. Both of them love it. Easiest laser haircut process with great results

[@AL-xv5kr]

Finally somebody who breaks it down so easy. Thank you!!!❤

[@sararad1982]

Okay I just used your video to cut my long limp lifeless hair that I was going to go to the salon and probably pay no less than $100 for something I may or may not like….your video helped me cut my own hair and save the money and I absolutely LOVE IT!!! 😍 Thanks for sharing 🩵👍🏻

[@shakilaazimi5034]

Thank you so very much for this video. I used your method and trimmed my own hair for the first time by myself. It was so well taught that I did it with confidence and love the results!!! I will look forward to seeing more of your videos. ❤❤❤❤🌸🌸🌸🙏

[@Anna33010]

I just did this! It looks great -- I will definitely keep doing this haircut forever now!

[@christinatheofanis2769]

It works! I’m happy with the results, thank you!

[@qefserepulatani4303]

IT LOOKS GORGEOUS!

[@user-ny7ff1mr2m]

This turned out better than any haircut I've ever gotten at a salon! And it was very forgiving if you don't do it perfectly. I even tipped myself with an expensive latte and candy 😊

[@jessicarodwick]

This looks great! I tried cutting my hair for the first time during the pandemic and liked it… Your 3 ponytail idea makes sense and makes it a little easier/simpler- I’m going to try it!

[@shwetabalgobin6571]

I tried it and I love it.... Very simple and easy to accomplish once u follow instructions.

[@glennaeck7405]

Thank you sooo much for making this video! I’m never happy when I go to a salon…I cut my hair this morning and I’m thrilled, your video made it so easy!! Love my long layers and face framing fringe💜

[@Max2U]

I wished I could give you more than just one like for this video. I use it every time I cu my hair since the lockdown. I too have very thick hair and was often disappointed with salon cuts. Many thanks 🙏🏽

[@juliecline633]

I cut my hair following the tutorial, the cut turned out great!! I seriously think this is one of my best haircuts ever ❤ Thank you for sharing!

[@MissSeaworld8]

I think this method only looks good when it's styled. Not straight. The layers are way to wonky and harsh.. But curled it looks good!

[@Kari-glvn]

I did this in like 15 minutes! Thankfully I had recently purchased new shears from Amazon. How in the world did it come out better than most of my haircuts at the salon. I am shocked. Thanks for sharing!

[@reneemartin5415]

I found your video to be easier to follow than some professional hair cutters! Thanks and good job!

[@bkim7000]

This is the first video i ever saw from you. Just tried the cut and i love it THX😊❤🤸‍♀️🙌

[@barnaclesinthesea]

I have curly hair but I prefer to wear it straight and I really wanted layers so I followed your tutorial and I am sooo happy with how it came out, thank you

[@LindaAL-Ganadi7726]

I did it to my hair and I love the result, thanks ❤

[@maueebelle]

I got waistline length hair, it's thinning coz it keeps on falling. I grew tired of it so I look for a tutorial that is easy to follow. Thank heavens I came across this vid. So happy with the result, my hair feels lighter. Will definitely do this again. Thanks a bunch!😊❤

[@jessicahampton4888]

Im really excited to try this! I have really thick, wavy-straight hair, too, so this is perfect!

[@JuliaBuglia]

Wow that’s the easiest layered cut I’ve done and i LOVE it! I have wavy thick hair. I did it on dry and styled hair

[@krissy9908]

Looks great! You did an excellent job! 💗

[@muksuraart24]

I tried it today and it came out really amazing 🤩 It's very easy . Thanks to you❤️

[@Mis_T97]

Amazing, I followed the steps and for my surprise it worked. BTW I chopped my hair for the first time Thank you

[@ysibel38]

This actually works 🎉, I am more excited the way it looks than going to a salon

[@soulsatisfiedseries9419]

I just did your cut and I love it!!!!! Thank you so much! It was so easy 💜

[@heidigeorge616]

So easy! Im in love with my new cut! Thank you so much!!

[@Moody.beauty]

Thank yo so much!!! Single mom who needed one so bad! Ive been trying to find a video for months! I have much longer hair but omg amazing!!

[@teresareams1766]

I absolutely love this. It is gorgeous ❤❤❤

[@jesssica.com34]

I just tried it!!! Wow!! Thank you!!! I was nervous but I love the end results 🥰🥰😍😍

[@angiec2713]

Gorgeous, you did an awesome job. I am the same way, I am always a bit disappointed when I get my hair cut at a salon. So I have been wanting to do this on my own for a while now. Your video looks super easy, definitely managable. I will cut my hair now. Thank you so much.

[@annrich3652]

I tried it and it turned out great! Thank you bc I prefer to do it myself.

[@Ieticia848]

I would love to do this but I first have to work through the trauma of cutting my own bangs when I was in elementary school. Lolol. I am impressed! Your hair looks beautiful!

[@lmf5755]

Wow! Your hair is beautiful, and the cut turned out great! 😍😍😍

[@jl_jx]

Thank you. You made me cut my hair myself. I love my long hair very much, and today I cut it 🤍🤎🤍

[@CheezayBallz]

The only tip I would give, put the unicorn horn part a bit more down. Like between the eyebrows, or you might accidentaly cut off more than you want and end up with horrible bangs.

[@meriemouta346]

I tried this and it worked, i love the result, thank you so much ❤️ Edit: just wanted to add that my hair is thin and it's a mix of wavy and curly

[@margienegri1210]

This is exactly what I've been looking for. I'm never happy when someone else does it. I'll let you know how it goes.

[@user-bt6kc9hd4f]

Thank you, tried it myself and it worked perfectly

[@AlyssaLove217]

I did this a few months ago and loved it, time to recut it again!

[@maeanncuyos54]

I love this❤️I was just bored then I saw your video and then decided to follow your instructions I'm glad it turned out well 😂Thank you ❤❤

[@wt9094]

I am so glad i found your video! I have long hair almost too my waist and its time for my layers and i dread going to a salon because i feel like A. I leave seeing no difference other than my bank account has less money or B. they end up taking too much off my length.

[@Nat073]

Omg I just had the same itch last week! It was nerve wracking but fun. I will say that one side was so much more difficult for me to do. It still came out beautifully!

[@user-jm4kz6of3k]

Thank you for this video 😊 I am very happy with my result

[@dandelionsdandelions1517]

Oh I hope to try this someday! My hair is naturally thick, but currently is medium length and thinning out for unknown health reasons I'm going to investigate! The cut turned out great! 😊

[@MommyT83]

I've been cutting my hair on my own for years. I like how you did this cut

[@elysiansoapshop]

It turned out great! I was wondering how to get a tapered cut in the back, all the other tutorials I watched were for blunt cuts. I will definitely use this method again. Note: if you’re trying this for the first time, err on the side of caution. I only took an inch and a half off just to be safe.

[@user-vb6mo7lm1b]

BEST video I’ve seen on layered hair. Awesome!!!

[@privateeyeagent194]

Soooo cute! I've been watching videos to help me make a decision, & I think yours just convinced me! My hair is long & pretty fine... so much so that it's hard to see the real length unless I reach back & pull it down. I'm also older (66). I wore my hair really short from after HS until when I was about to turn 60.. figured it was my last shot to grow it out lol. But I'm wanting to change it up a bit and keep most the length. I think I'm ready now! Thanks 😊

[@wandakelley5473]

I wish I could do that ! You hair is beautiful !

[@linden5576]

❤ I watched a videos on the Wolf cut, and the butterfly cut. My hair is long and thick like yours when you started but it’s more of a blonde with some gray around the face. I have a small amount of gray that frames my face somewhat. My hair is waist length straight naturally in all one length. I decided to go with your video because I like how you section your hair on your head before cutting. I like the idea of the combo videos all in one, so you get more of a unique style! I’ve cut a bleached I foiled I’ve done my own hair since I was 16 and I’m 62 now. So I think giving my naturally straight hair a bit of layers and is going to be wonderful. Although, it’s going to be relatively short maybe a good 10 inches, 8 inches taken off . We’ll see!😅
