OMG I just paused literally every 15 seconds but I cut SUCH CUTE 90's style layers into my long hair. so much more body, texture and volume that my thin hair neeeeeeded

[@kaylarodriguez2005]

DO NOT skip the first step. After you do step 1 and determine your hair length, tie that hair back for the rest of the cut and DO NOT LET IT FREE until she says "moving on to the final step"; at this point, your length is completely safe from accidentally being chopped too short. For those who are lost, when she cuts "the back section of her hair", I believe she is referring to the TOP HALF of the back section (the obvious section that hasn't been layered by that point). This technique truly is perfect, and I kept my length exactly where I wanted it while getting perfectly layered hair! A big plus that this saved me $80 today, and thousands more as I never see myself going back to a salon after learning how to do this! Reminder: your fingers that are guiding should be perpendicular to your middle part (parallell to your face).

[@christinawalters5670]

Thank you!! I was worried about that the whole video . Lol

[@sangriad.938]

OHH! Now I got it. I was like...she determined the length she want at the beginning but then she cut it much more...So happy I found your comments because I really do not want to lose my length hahaha

[@marthaj.gonzalez9260]

Thank you! That part was a bit confusing

[@glamyla4136]

This made so much sense! No wonder i lost length the last time i followed this tutorial. It turned out soo good but the length was shorter. I rewatched it and realized she doesn't cut the length part. Thankyouu! 💕

[@IceQueen234]

I've definitely saved money from this amazing video. However I feel like a step is missed when she is cutting the length of the hair the very start, as she only does the bottom half of the back section and not the top (only touches it when doing the front) And now my hair is a completely shorter length at the bottom back section. I've done 3 times now I think and this is the first time I've done messed up and don't know how hahahah!

[@christinamarquez9989]

I did this haircut on myself today and it turned out amazing! You just saved me $100, thank you!

[@sasham.3411]

it took me about 1.5 hours because i was being careful, but i don’t think i’ve ever had such a nice haircut in my life 😍 i went from fairly long -> medium length hair and the result is so wispy and elegant! thank you!

[@user-ew6rz7yr1h]

i've been doing the butterfly cut for almost a year now and i got a bit tired of how thin it made my hair feel so i wanted to switch it up. I followed your tutorial to the T, pausing, rewinding and playing again and it turned out so great!!! i am beyond impressed with the look of my hair now, it looks so full and healthy, thank you so much for sharing!

[@Umnothanks]

I just did this 5 minutes ago and I’m so happy I did! I haven’t had my hair cut in 3 years and just couldn’t stomach the idea of going to a salon, paying $150, and hating the cut. I figured I’d give a shot, if it turned out terrible I’d still have plenty of length left to have a professional fix it. Well, it turned out beautiful! Thank you sooo much!❤

[@ElderQueen]

I just tried it and came back to say THANK YOU SO MUCH! this gave me the perfect results. The ponytail method doesn't work for me and looks tacky. But THIS is the ✨b e s t✨ tutorial out there for long layers. Bless you ❤️

[@kyandengy4660]

I've been looking all over youtube to find a tutorial like this. Thank you so much, you look absolutely stunning!

[@livehrndz9771]

Although I had to pause several times because it was my first attempt ever to cut my own hair. The results are amazing!!! I am honestly in shock. I cut off about 12 inches and this tutorial worked great, even for a shorter desire. Thank you for sharing this! Lately I have been super depressed and felt the need to want a change but paying over $100.00 right now for a hair cut is just not in the budget. So thank you!

[@amandad5785]

I'm here for this too. I'm in that end stage of some major depression this last year... and I can't afford to go to a salon. But I need to do something different. And I'm feeling bold enough to do it myself!

[@Lowere]

I avoided so much the layer haircuts because I had 2 bad experiences at some top salons 😅 after two years of growing my hair to my belly button I’ve tried this haircut sooo nervous. Hands down the best haircut I ever had. And probably my forever go 2 😂 thank you ❤️

[@haililevits6591]

This took me 35 minutes because I was so nervous, and I’ve NEVER been happier with a haircut. THANK YOU 💕

[@pinkwatermelon9910]

My hair is curly (3A) and that had me doubting because Olive’s hair is straight but I knew I wanted a layered haircut because I wanted more shape and volume (something like Julia Roberts in My best friend’s wedding) so I gave it a shot, and it is the best bet I could have ever taken. For my curly girls out there, go for it! I am incredibly happy with the result, thanks for this tutorial!

[@Glock19Atlanta]

Absolutely stunning and this worked PERFECT on my hair at home. Thank you so much!

[@squeaky8586]

I have been doing the single ponytail “unicorn” cut for a while now, and adapted it for my curls, it was okay…but the layers seemed to all curl together and weren’t really noticeable. I tried this (took me an hour) and I’m SO much happier with the shape of my hair and curls. It looks great, thank you so much! Pinning this on Pinterest & saving it for later! ❤

[@bexrn9842]

This tutorial is the best. If I knew it were this easy to do with a systematic approach I would have cut my hair a long time ago. I had attempted bang trims in the past with seriously botched results. Once I finished in an hour, I proudly showed my husband and he was very impressed. He strongly advised against it given my past failures but I assured him I'd studied up this method and watched the video 5 times. This is the most confident I have ever felt after a haircut and I did it myself:-) I read a great many of the other reviews and I skipped step 1 entirely and went for the half inch center part to start the layers. I'm pleased with the results.

[@angelimateo2298]

Had a botched haircut yesterday and your video saved my hair! Thank you so much!

[@Heather-oj7ps]

I'm about to try it. I have very long, thinning hair. It just hangs off my head, no movement. UPDATE: I did it and LOVE IT! I was scared a few times during the cut, but I trusted the process. Just take your time and watch her closely. 😊

[@crystalynjasskirkpatrick5898]

I started cutting my own hair after a botched curly dry cut in 2021. I realized I could do better than most of the $100 cuts I was paying for. Then last winter, I decided to start growing my hair out, and start straightening it again. It recently finally got long enough that I could add layers for straightening. I watched the beginning of this video, skipped to the end, and decided to go for it because my hair is about the same thickness as the creator’s. I blindly watched to the whole thing from start to finish as I cut. My cut ended up perfect, given the shortest length I picked from the start. It’s a symmetrical U, almost V shape in the back, and has lovely layers in the front. I think as I grow my hair out more and cut again in six months, I will simply pick the starting piece and trim only the dead ends and go from there, so the same shape just grows longer over time. The cut reminds me so much of the cut I had in high school back in the late 90s, which is basically back in style, and it does really well with a blowout styling too. Thanks for this awesome tutorial!!

[@mistyjohnson5852]

Omg this is not for the faint of heart, I paused and hit rewind a million times. When I got to the two inch strains used for the back, it is seems like a lot of hair to cut off the back lol but it is okay it works perfectly! My hair looks great! I will try this dry cut next time, wet cut is way too hard even with Detangle spray! Thank you for this tutorial! It was not easy, but it works! 😂❤

[@happyplacenails]

i just tried this on my curly hair and i’m so happy with the results!!! it works so well and my hair is nice and even, full, voluminous, and i’m just so happy.

My hair was long and heavy. This is a game changer for me! Thank you for sharing your beautiful haircut! Mine came out fabulous! I love that I still have some length!

[@Binal8]

I just want to say thank you so much for this video! I would pause and rewatch each cutting section to make sure I was doing it right. Almost gave up after the bottom part because I wanted to cut off 8 inches of length because my hair had gotten up to my hips and was too heavy and thick to manage. I thought I already messed it up, stopped and considered doing to wolf cut but thank god I didn’t. I resectioned and continued with the video. I love the results. I have the overall length of hair I wanted. The only think I didn’t do was the face framing later because I did really paranoid when hair that is close to my face is short since I have a round face and chubby cheeks that I’ve never been able to get rid of. Again thank you again for this tutorial, I’ll definitely be using this again and again in the future!
