How to Cut Face Framing Layers into your own Hair *without having a meltdown

[@oldladygamer1962]

I usually hate home haircutting videos because they seem too complicated or talk about things I don't know, but this is great. I'm actually going to try this and your directions and explanations are so good that I'm eager to try instead of anxious to try. Big difference! Thanks so much!

[@lah1237]

You're amazing! I have hair that is very similar to yours and I just spent $300+ with a new stylist who told me what a bad haircut I had... he took almost nothing off because he wanted the layers to grow out but he left me with nothing framing my face at all. I just used your technique and my hair looks amazing! Now if I could only learn to color my own hair! :)

You’re not spending enough time per section. You need to make sure that your hair is 100 percent dry, smooth and shiny before moving onto the next wet section. I have a video explaining this that’s coming out on Friday of this week.

Love this! I keep asking my stylist for this look but never really get it. I’m going to try it myself. In the summer I need to wear my hair up and would love a more face framing effect. It’s the downward cutting that scares me, but you make it look easy. Hoping for success🤞🏼

[@AnneThaiHero]

Me too. I didn't know what they were called. I used to say I want bangs that are longer. The stylists just didn't understand. I realize now that the style I wanted were always grown out bangs! Now it's too late. I got gray hair but when I was 15, 16, 17 I always wanted those!

[@MorganaRodrigues-ks3jd]

❤😂🎉😢😮😅😊

[@lifestilesla]

Great content. Be careful of the round blow dry brush. My hair was obliterated by one- not overnight but over about 9 months until I woke up one day and realized the quality of my hair was greatly diminished to the point it all needs to be cut off. I have fine hair, too, but enough of it. The blow dry brushes put tremendous heat on the hair like a very hot flat iron.

[@wendymena1791]

how did you cut the back of your hair?

[@Poochipup]

Be careful with velcro rollers if you don't have her smooth hair. Getting them out of naturally curly and frizzy hair is so difficult, hair will rip no matter how careful you are. Velcro is only good for straight hair that is so smooth that rollers don't stay in place and the velcro keeps it in place.

[@abbeyB9680]

You always said no layers. I’m so surprised to see you with longer hair and no bob! You look good in anything though.

How do you do this cut on hair that is much longer? I just got 3 inches cut off my hair. It is now bra strap length. (It's also VERY thin on the sides). I would love to do this! But how would I cut so it blends in with that long length?

[@nolasfamily3913]

Gabi, I like the new set you and your husband created. It's cozy without being sterile like a commercial. I enjoyed your face framing tutorial; I remember the first time I had a customer whose hair was very long and my customer wanted a very steep angle.....wow, what a challenge it was to match the other side. Yes, small sections are the key! Your results looked beautiful; you are now set for the remainder of summer!

I think she only done face framing layers which my hair has became very thin as I've gotten older I find that it helps a lot if you do it correctly for very thin hair Hope this helps I had to question that myself but looking into it and other videos I find that a very straight cut on the perimeter meaning around in the back of your hair makes it look thicker as well

Best tutorial ever! Love your detailed instructions and styling tips!

[@thesinstreamstreams9465]

I have very fine blonde hair. As with most blondes, I find myself pulling the sides forward to give more 'oompf'. Do you find that when sectioning the front / back, going a bit more behind the ear (as opposed to directly behind the ear) as a guide gives more bulk to the front and sides? Most stylists use the ears as a guide, but it doesn't leave quite enough for those of us with very fine, very light blonde hair.

[@sophiesylvain439]

Love it ! It's so well explained, thanks Gabi 👍 💋💋💋 from France

[@lcarolc03]

You are such a lovely person. The new studio is gorgeous. Your simple explanation is a major confidence boost. I’ve been trimming my ends for years but always feel too intimidated to try this attractive style. Previous tutorials have been way too complicated to follow. My hair is shoulder / collarbone length with short bangs, wavy , silvery with a bit of natural blond ( I’ll be 67 this month but don’t really enjoy short hair). This small update sounds perfect. I honestly feel like I can do these face framing layers now. My question is - should I wait until my bangs grow at least below my nose ? Currently they reach the bridge. If I try it now , I’m not sure where my guide point would be. I wear up- do’s , half up do’s , pony tails and still want to continue. I’m in Georgia with summer’s heat and humidity. I’ll be very appreciative for your help.

Wore long layers for years with a lot of curly/frizzy hair and it helps so much! Velcro rollers could replace the hot ones I used back in the 90s/00s. I wish that roller dryer existed back then!
