How to Cut Your Own Hair In Long Layers ~ Easy Hair Cut Tutorial

[@rheannbrown970]

I have used this video twice this last year, and had success both times. I have went to many stylists over the years, and have cried many times because of the bad results. I saw your hair, and lo and behold, it's the exact haircut I ask for, beg for and never receive. Now I can just do it myself, thanks to you. I'm a single mama of two girls, so the money I am able to save for my girls by cutting our hair is substantial! You are a lifesaver, thank you so much for taking the time to make this video!!!!!!!!

[@betsyciao]

OMG this is one of my favorite comments EVER !!! I am soo happy to hear that.. THANK YOU so much for commenting :)))

[@DanceLessonsOrlando]

Yes, you have very thick hair! One section of your hair is like my whole head of hair. I hate going to the salon because the girl cutting my hair always says, "You have such thin hair!" I feel embarrassed. It's like a woman who just had chemo, but without the chemo! Here's the great news, I cut my hair per your instructions, and it was the first time my hair looked fantastic! Today, I'm going to cut my hair for the second time and viewed your tutorial to refresh my memory. Thanks a ton!!

[@laurenalexander2567]

DanceLessonsOrlando its better then the stylist saying your hair is like a lion. I have been told that several times by different hair stylist. The end result of each hair cut was terrible because they had no experience with thick curly Irish hair.

[@twinkletush5053]

DanceLessonsOrlando I know what you mean. The last time I got my hair cut by a professional I was told the entire time about how my hair is so thin etc etc.. My hair falls out because I have PCOS, and I don't want to be reminded of it when I'm getting a simple trim. I felt so horrible that I haven't gotten my hair trimmed in two years. Guess I will have to do it myself!

[@dragonclaws9367]

I have a lot of hair- it's thick but it is also fine in texture. I had one woman tell me I can't layer your hair it is too fine. I never went back.

[@____Ann____]

If you don't want bangs, do you stop at 5:48 and you are finished ? Or do you skip the bangs part and then still follow the rest of the tutorial?

[@aniadunn9397]

This is a testament to how awesome this tutorial (and the lady who posted it) is. I followed this tutorial a couple of months ago, and when I was finished I thought it looked pretty good. This being my first time, I did get a bit nervous as the day went on, and decided to go ahead and see a hairdresser for an opinion. Being too shy to admit I did my own haircut, I told the hairdresser a friend of mine did it. Wouldn't you know, the hairdresser said my friend did a good job, and that there's nothing to fix : ) Kudos to this video! Kudos to an honest hairdresser as well who didn't try to swindle me out of a few extra bucks in an attempt to fix something that didn't need fixing. She said my haircut looked good : ) I am going ahead and redoing this haircut again today, and thank you. I enjoy this mostly because my hair is quite long and the last time I got it cut, the hairdresser cut off too much even though I specified not to. I would rather save money and do the cut myself, not being as upset if I mess something up. My hair is the length that this cut works perfect and isn't too fussy. Thank you again!!!

[@betsyciao]

Wow, that's awesome and thanks for the compliment and congrats on doing such a good job cutting your hair !! It's super convenient to be able to cut your own hair sometimes. It makes me really happy to be able to help. Thanks for commenting :)))

[@sparky35242]

I use this tutorial every time I cut my own hair! Usually if I'm getting a dramatic cut then I will go to the salon, but if I just want a trim / to get rid of my split ends, this works AMAZING! A lot of times it turns out even better than a salon cut, and it's super simple. Great job!!

[@jenniferbacoka6582]

I successfully cut my hair by following this tutorial. It was very helpful! I have thick, straight hair, and this is the only KZbin video that seemed feasible for my hair.

[@betsyciao]

Jennifer Bacoka Thank you, that makes me so happy 🥰

[@mindlesskittles]

Did you say you're a stylist? Awesome. That makes me feel better about cutting my own hair because most stylists say never to do it. I guess they don't want to lose money. ;)

[@betsyciao]

Thank you :))

[@jaclynconstanza1924]

I just want to tell you that I used your video when I first started cutting my own hair. Then I made a mistake by trying other people’s videos and my hair was just not the same! I love your video and I am always using it from now on! Thank you so much!!!

[@hampolard]

I used this video to cut my hair and It turned out great!! Thanks for the video! I love my new haircut!!!!!:) and you really know it's easy to follow because I'm 14 and it still turned out amazing. People say it looks like a pro did it!! Thanks so much!

[@GinevraG92]

What a wonderful tutorial!!!! Easy, professional, well explained: I cut my hair today and it turned out just the way I've always wanted (and never got in a hair salon). Thank you from Italy :)

[@betsyciao]

Yayay !! That's awesome. Thanks for commenting :)))

[@cynthiaksurginer5928]

Hairhowto, I've spent part of this afternoon previewing video's on layering your own hair......although I haven't cut my hair yet ....that will be in a few minutes unless delayed by a grandchild's needs.... but I do want to say, that although yours required a few more steps, and a bit more time, your final result was excellent...exactly what I was looking for. I appreciate the side by side, before and after fotos you supplied also. One thing I would suggest though, is....when you're done with your cut, if you could lightly lift up the layers from the crown area, so we are able to see the length of the final layers. They are so well blended, that they aren't detectable...such a beautiful cut, and the tapered shaping....just beautiful. Worth the extra time....just a professional looking cut. I'll let you know how mine turns out. Thanks for sharing your expertise,....good will come back to you many times over. Cyn

[@tzeyan05]

I've been cutting my own hair for 4 years now, trying all the techniques I can find here. I'm so excited to try your technique that after I watched the tutorial I went straight to the bathroom and cut my own hair. Goodness! It's awesome. Thank you so much!

[@0TashieLeigh0]

Can I just let you know that because of you and this easy how-to tutorial you've put out here for all of us to learn from is exactly one half of THE reason I now feel confident cutting my own hair (the other half credit goes to ElleBangs :))! When people tell me my hair looks great and are astounded to hear I did it MYSELF is saying something. Your talent for hair and describing the steps is outstanding and I truly appreciate you sharing this with your viewers. Little secret.... I combined what I learned from this video and what I learned from a video ElleBangs posted on self cutting (another KZbin stylist, I'm sure you know of her) and your two techniques combined are the perfect methods for my hair needs and how I am now so gratefully able to cut it! Thank you for this free and useful knowledge! I'm off to subscribe to your channel now! :)

[@kristinablabla2186]

Great tutorial. Thank you for not playing annoying music in the background, as others usually do

[@thippymalathip6793]

Thank you so much for your tutorial!!!!!!!!!!!! I had my haircut today and it is the worst haircut I had ever had. I asked for long layers but it turned out so awfully. I thought about going back to another hair salon to get it fixed right away but decided to try any tutorial first and your video is my life saver!! I have never cut my own hair and my first time from your video turned out so beautifully...just exactly how I want!!! Thank you so much!!!!! No more waste my money and my time on any salon...ever again!!! :)

[@taylorlc210]

I had never cut my own hair before. I'm living abroad for a while so I used this to do it myself, and I am happier with my haircut than I have been with the way any stylist has done it in the past 5 years. You are awesome. Thanks so much!

[@sparky35242]

I have used this tutorial to cut my hair more times than I can count. It has worked and looked amazing every time without fail!! I have saved so much money by using this tutorial instead of going to the salon. I've tried other tutorials in the past but none have been as good as this. Thank you so much for this video!!!

[@betsyciao]

sparky35242 Wow, thats awesome, made my day !! thanks for commenting :))

[@jodimacgregor6065]

I tried cutting my own hair after watching this, and I'm soooo happy I did! My hair was almost to my butt, and it needed a trim so bad after a year of not cutting it. I tried layering it as well, but it didn't turn out exactly perfect, which is fine to me! It still looks and feels so much better :) I can't wait to regularly trim my hair now without paying out for someone to mess it up! Thanks so much for posting this :)

[@betsyciao]

Wow, thats awesome. Thanks Jodi :))

[@loric1909]

I have curly fine hair but a lot of hair, and this turned out beautiful! You don't need stick straight hair for this to work :) so happy. At first I didn't take enough of the mohawk section in the back and it was too heavy in the back, but the next day I pulled more hair into the mohawk from behind the ear line and got perfect layers in the back as well. Thanks so much. This is the best and easiest to follow video I've found so far.

[@yudoeaqua9927]

This is my second time find this video to cut my own hair , never feel satisfied by cutting my own hair ,but this video made me not going to salon to fix my hair again! Love it !!!!!!

[@highrise]

this is my third time using this video to cut my hair. after following a different tutorial on youtube over a year ago, i was left with the left side of my hair way shorter than the rest. i found this and used it to trim my hair twice until that side part grew out to a length i was comfortable with. well it finally did, and used this video again to cut about 5 inches off my hair to even it with the side that was messed up. i felt really confident i wasn't going to mess up, because this tutorial is super easy to follow, section, and understand why you are cutting what. at the end, my hair looks great and finally one length again! thank u!!!

[@StephanieEva]

Love it! You're so right about the misconception that hair stylists get their hair done whenever they want! I usually just comb forward all of my hair to mimic the "ponytail" cutting technique without actually putting it up in a ponytail. However, I love your layers, I'm thinking I'll give this a try next time I'm cutting my hair.

[@betsyciao]

Thanks for commenting Stephanie :))

[@donnavaughn6729]

Thank you, Mrs. Betsy! I've been getting my hair done in long layers for years and my hair has never looked as great as it does now! I watched your tutorial...followed your easy instructions and my hair looks wonderful! Thank you...you just saved me $45 bucks and an hour of my time! You go, girl! You rock!

[@sunliteyes]

I just cut my hair following this tutorial and it turned out way better than I expected. I have thick hair too so it’s hard for me to get a haircut I like. With quarantine I’ve not been able to go to the salon. Thank you so much for sharing this!

[@HortonHouseAK]

Ten years later and I am still using this video to cut my hair several times a year. I have long hair and the first time I tried it, I was bound to cut my hair shorter than usual. I was afraid, but it came out great! This is the hair cut I had always tried to get stylist to do on my long straight hair, but they would only trim the bottom. I love the layers. Thank you so much Betsy!

[@betsyciao]

thank you, this makes me so happy 😍

[@CarinJanel]

I freaking love You Tube! I just successfully trimmed my own hair and saved $30 not going to the salon! I feel a little guilty to my stylist but I am a single mom on a fixed income, son just started Senior year of high school, daughter is Junior. It's extremely expensive, and I am always looking for ways to cut costs but not do without. .....I believe God wants us to have things and feel good about ourselves! That's $30 to put away towards a mission trip! And the kicker is that I have been growing it out from a $9.99 hack job Walmart cut 2 months ago! It looks and feels and lays so much better! Yay :-) Now, if you could teach me how to hombre my hair, I would be so grateful! !!!!!! Thanks and God bless!

[@betsyciao]

Hi Carin, Thanks so much for the lovely comment. I am soo happy to have been able to help. It always feels great to be able to save money $$ I have an Ombre video under Hair Color if you still need it. Thanks again for watching !!!

[@jabmeas1368]

Not too bad

[@kittycath1]

9 years later I still use this haircut! Tried it a little shorter too and it still worked, (though I had to concentrate..!) Thankyou Betsy!!

[@betsyciao]

Thats awesome !! Thank you for letting me know, that makes me so happy 🤗

[@RainbowSKYYE]

I followed your video step by step pausing along the way to give myself enough time. I have always cut my own hair as I have found that every professional I've gone to, has messed up my hair. I've only had a couple hack jobs myself but nothing too major to I able to work with. I'd never tried doing it the way you did in this video and I only had ever done free layers or with razored layers. I have fairly long hair (mid back), so I was a bit nervous this tutorial wouldn't work for me. However, I went for it and I must say I am extremely pleased with how my hair turned out! It looks stupendous! Thank you so much for sharing your knowledge with KZbinrs like myself! Have a blessed day! Let's see some more videos!

[@RainbowSKYYE]

Oh yah! I forgot to mention that my hair is also EXTREMELY thick! I would say that I have about twice the amount of hair that you have. I didn't have to go back in and add extra layers like I was thinking I might have to!

[@betsyciao]

glitterspg yayay, thats awesome :)) soo happy !!!

[@bigfatbunny]

You are a great lady, clever too, thank you so much, my hairdresser just ruined my hair, I cannot wait to do it by myself like you showed me ,maybe two years later,have to wait till my hair grow back again.

[@creeksidehomeschoolers]

This is so perfect!! I'm a cosmologist too and my favorite hair stylist broke her arm several years ago and I've been trying out different ways to cut my own hair, because well I just can't find another hair stylist to cut it the way I like it! I'm super excited to try the way. I always struggle with the back middle sections and I think you just gave me the solution thanks so much!

[@betsyciao]

I know right, were always last in the list, lol !!

[@creeksidehomeschoolers]

@@betsyciao Yes we are! I just cut my hair using this technique about a month ago and I love love love it! In fact it's the best hair cut I have ever had, well for a hair stylist that is super picky. I mean its still hard to get the very middle of my back section just right by myself, but this way is better than any other way I have tried! I hope all is well and covid-19 didn't set you back with your business too much. I have been in prayer for all the hair stylist and nail techs. I know most of you guys took a big hit and my heart breaks for all those affected by all this. God bless and thank you once again for sharing this so awesome of you! I'm so grateful!

[@mairghead]

I'd long ago given up getting a stylist to do long layers for me. I'm also at a place in life where I just can't get in anywhere to have a haircut. I followed your video and now I have the haircut I've wanted a long time, and it turned out great. It's been a couple years since I have had a haircut. Thank you so much. You have no idea how greatful I am.

[@catherinelopez4294]

Love the colour and how you’ve cut your hair. Saves a fortune doing it yourself. Thankyou for posting xxxxxx watching from lockdown UK

[@veronicaharris]

I am so thankful for this. I can't afford haircuts from professionals right now, and this has worked wonderfully for me in the time being.

[@betsyciao]

Thank you Veronica :))

[@sidselj.lyster308]

Excellent. My first own haircut - and it looks good!!! As a single mother and student at the university, I haven't been able to afford a haircut since May. Now I tried - and I am just as satisfied with the result, as I were after the last visit at a professional hairdresser. I don't have long, but middle hair (to the shoulders), but your advices worked fine to me. It was a bit difficult to cut in the beginning, since I had to look in the mirror all the time, and it was hard to control the scissor. But suddenly I got used to it, and I have been playing with the hair since until I was satisfied with my look. Thank you!

[@ayshaashfaq8360]

I just wanted to say thank you so much! I tried this out (it was my first time cutting my own hair) and it worked out great! My mum wants me to cut HER hair now! You're video was a great help xx

[@betsyciao]

Thank so much Beth, Glad it worked well for you.. and yes the more times you do it the faster it will get.. thanks so much for commenting =)) have a great weekend !!!

[@xxsamuroxx456]

You're the most informative, helpful tutor I have ever seen in regards to cutting your own hair.

[@6590492]

Thank you so much for this tutorial! I just trimed up my already layered hair using your technique and it turned out beautifully!

[@betsyciao]

Wow that awesome !!! Thanks Erica :))

[@ginnymoore6423]

I bit the bullet and cut my hair this evening and it turned out great! I used part of yours, part of someone else's and it turned out wonderful. I now have long layers again, and it looks much better. THANK YOU so much for your video and your wisdom and knowledge. I look forward to your future videos. THANK YOU, THANK YOU, THANK YOU!

[@betsyciao]

Your very welcome I'm glad I could help. And happy your hair cut came out great !!!

[@ginnymoore6423]

If and when my hair grows back, I will try layering around my face again. Right now I'm worried about it looking thin, so I want it longer around my face, but I will layer it when it grows back. I have multiple health issues, but my hair is my number one priority at this point in time. It is so hard to stay positive when you are worried about your hair. I'm so glad you were here!!

[@JenS-eo4hd]

Thank you!! I live in a remote little corner of southeast Asia, and I haven't been able to get to a salon in almost 18 months. Today my hair was so unhealthy and scraggly that I couldn't stand it anymore and decided to google a tutorial. I am SO glad I landed on yours! My hair looks great and I've already gotten compliments. I will never go 18 months without a hair cut again! Thank you so much for putting this video together and giving me the courage to actually try cutting my own hair :-)

[@LioraHessArt]

Really pretty final result. I like how you left your ends quite thick. I'm not a fan of the V-look, and it's nice to see more of a U-shape as well as your technique for connecting the sections. Thanks!

[@sarahsheik57]

Best video on this, hands down. I have never cut my or anyone else's hair EVER and i was sick of getting all my hair chopped off each time i went for a trim. I gave this a shot while watching this video step by step and i cut my hair! looks healthier, not much shorter and definitely doesnt looked chopped. THANK YOU!! no one can tell i cut my own hair :)

[@ciaobella8823]

Yayay !! That's awesome. So happy it came out great !! Thanks for commenting and Letting me know you you did :)))

[@RaileeJones23]

I used this tutorial back when this was still a new video. I found a stylist about 3 months later who I’d been seeing for the last 9 years, and she recently decided to stop doing hair. I immediately remembered cutting my hair with this and I’m so glad it’s still here!

***** Hi Amy :)) Yes you can purchase them online. we have several new products being release in the new year on my web site, so stay tuned.. also it's fine that you dont cut in a straight line. I save my straight lines for perimeters. and usually my layers are cut uneven. I think it gives a more blended natural look. Thanks for commenting :))

[@Lola73t]

Thank you so much for uploading this. I can't bear going to the hairdressers & by using your video I have just trimmed 3 inches off my hair - and it looks good! :)

[@lolawave2159]

Betsy-thank you so much for your helpful, fantastic tutorial! My hair was sorely in need of a cut as we enter week 6 of covid-19 quarantine in PA. I could never have imagined cutting my own hair, let alone having it turn out surprisingly even and pretty, thanks to you. I cut my hair yesterday and it was just the boost I needed to feel better this week. Sincere thanks! Be well!

[@betsyciao]

thank you !! that makes me soo happy !!!!

[@AnonymousAmyMakes]

This is the perfect style for me. I've been to stylists so many times and I always end up with something OTHER than this cut!! I'm not brave enough to try it on my own. I quit getting my hair cut because it always gets messed up! So I've decided...I'm going to take your video with me to the salon and show them the before and after freeze frame and tell them THIS is what I want!! Thank you so much. Your hair is BEAUTIFUL!

[@cieltabris]

Thanks so much for this video; my hair was so long I was sitting on it and I am tired of going to salons and paying so much. This took me about an hour with all my hair and now it is so much more manageable. It looks good, too!

[@theironmaiden1]

Been meaning to say this for a couple years now....I love you girl! I saved this video maybe 3 yrs. back. Every couple months, I pull it up while I'm in the bathroom and cut my hair and it comes out amazing every time! Haven't used a hairdresser since I found you! THANKS SO MUCH!

[@AppleofHisEye23]

Long story short you have helped me out more than I can ever thank you! I had a salon owner get up in my face when I wanted my money back. Years later I am slowly getting my hair back. The control is in MY hands now so God Bless YOU!!!!!!

[@jemmapembury1242]

Thank you so much for this video, I cut my own hair after being fed up of "professionals" cutting loads off my hair when I haven't asked for that! I have met trainee hairdressers who give me the most horrible look when I said I cut my own hair which just fuels my reasoning too! I understand the need to make a living but I am really appreciative of you sharing your methods and not being snobby or snooty about people cutting their own hair. Xxx

[@HopeGirl587]

Girl, you totally rock! I've used this method several times thanks to you! Works great! Bless you.

[@LT7070]

I have very long layers and have decided that I will teach myself how to cut my own hair. So, I have watched at least a dozen you tube videos. Yours is by far THEE BEST. I just took my laptop into the bathroom, and watched you while I cut my hair. It turned out pretty good actually. I'm pleased. Thank you for teaching me how to cut my hair!!

[@lisathompson8062]

I just wanted to thank you from the bottom of my heart for this video. My hair was a one-length fried mess, plus I am growing out bangs. I followed your tutorial, and my hair looks absolutely wonderful. You are an angel to take the time to make this video. You are a great instructor, and beautiful besides. Thank you, thank you, thank you!

[@DaerLyerhc]

Thank you! I've been needing a hair cut for a long time but am never really pleased with what the hairdressers do. I just did it myself in a little over 30 minutes and I like it better than most cuts I've paid for! Thanks again!

[@betsyciao]

that is AWESOME !!! I love hearing that :)))) thank you so much for commenting !!!

[@lilywinter1596]

My hair needed a trim something terrible! But with money tight I decided to do it myself... On my own not sure how it would have come out, but with this video it came out fine! I was not brave enough to do the layers or bangs, so I just spot snipped those of split ends. But my longer hair REALLY needed a full trim and this worked perfect. Thank you!

[@sherry2283]

I just cut my own hair! Thank you.. you made it so easy!!!! Sending hair love.... thank you thank you!

[@crsh2007]

I just cut my hair this morning, and tried using your video to do my layers, but I have SO much hair that it's hard keeping the sections together :( But I love how your layers turned out, so I'm going to try again tonight! I just want the top layers, and to lighten up the bluntness of the initial cut.

[@WomBeatss]

Betsy, I first found this video 9 years ago and it helped me cut my hair perfectly! I couldn't find it again until now (2023) and I'm so grateful. Thank you so much!

[@betsyciao]

That makes me so happy❣️ Thank you for commenting and letting me know 😘

[@lucfromczech]

Wow! I love the way it turned out! Let's be honest I was skeptical during the process but I cut my own hair for 4 years now so I know how to fix a messy cut:D But this is just great!!! Love it! Thank you so much for this tutorial!

[@betsyciao]

Yayay!!! That is awesome,Thanks for commenting !!

[@andreibesant]

I've watched multiple different tutorials on cutting hair today, and this is by far the best one I've seen.

[@JMACXO]

I have medium long curly hair and i tried your tutorial cutting 2-3 inches off and my hair turned out great! Thanks Betsy!

[@melanienorris1017]

My most favorite stylist ever moved several hours away about a year ago. I only get to see her about 2 times a year and I don't trust anyone else with my hair. I tried going that long between cuts but the split ends were terrible. I had an idea of how to cut my hair, I just didn't know how to get the V shape in the back. It was already cut that way but I was afraid I would lose it. I just used your technique.....it came out beautifully!! Thank you so much for making this video!

[@kristym117]

Great video! I've cut my hair once before a few years ago (without really knowing how to divide the hair, or to point cut) but tonight I cut my hair following this method and it turned out great! I have curly hair, so instead I cut my hair while damp, and it worked wonderfully. Thanks for sharing, this helped a ton!

[@sheluphouse1513]

I have been cutting my own hair forever, this really helped me with some trouble areas!!! Thanks so much!!!

[@betsyciao]

thats great :)) thanks for commenting !!!

[@deepmansvr2854]

Very helpful thank you. Im a licensed cosmetologist as well and you are so right about not always being able to have your own hair done. I will def use your technique to at least clean up my perimeter from time to time. Much love!

[@betsyciao]

thank you :))

[@4444Rosemary]

I know this video is from a few years ago, but I just used it today to take 3" off my very long hair and build the layers back into it which had all grown out. Your directions worked much better than another video I tried last year. Thanks for your great contribution, I looked at a lot of videos and yours is the best. I really needed a haircut and didn't have the time or money to go the salon and I don't have anyone I really trust to cut my hair right now. Thanks so much!

[@betsyciao]

Thats awesome, look at you !!! good job :))

[@amandacameron4527]

Great tutorial! I followed it to a tee and my hair looks so much healthier.

[@betsyciao]

thank you :))

[@CarlaPrine]

I used this video today and my hair came out very cute! I've been using other methods found here on KZbin and this one is absolutely the very best, so far!

[@betsyciao]

Thank you Carla, so happy I could help. Happy hair days :))

[@emily.decloux]

This was a really fantastic tutorial, and I'm going to be using it for a LONG time to come. My hair looks great, it turned out very even and clean looking, PLUS the layers really added a lot of dimension. Thank goodness my split ends are finally gone and I didn't have to pay through the nose! I'm always so afraid to go to a hair dresser after so many bad cuts, so I figured I'd try this and if it didn't work I'd just go anyway. LUCKY FOR MY WALLET! Thanks so much for posting!

[@sols2217]

I wish I'd learned how to do this a long time ago. My self-done haircuts have been awful for my entire life. Thanks Betsy!

[@annathompson5369]

Thank you!! Tried this for the first time and I am impressed! My hair was uneven from a previous hairstylist and this defiantly helped get the length even! I am so excited to actually be able to wear a pony tail again without it being all flat and boring, this cut gave my hair some lift! I didn't get it perfect, but it is soo much better than what it was! I'll defiantly be doing it again. :)

[@Criesta1]

This helped me a lot.My Grandma is a beaution and normal trims my hair.It is pretty long.Half way down my back.This well really help to do it myself.I don't do layers but none the some the tutorial help a lot.Thank you!

That's great, thank you for commenting !!

I have EXTREMELY long, EXTREMELY thick hair. I hate going to salons because it's pretty much a guarantee I WILL NOT get what I ask for (this happens to me at every single solitary salon I've ever been to beginning with my first salon experience when I was 6 and was left to flaunt a beautifully layered mullet bowl). So it goes without saying, when it comes to getting my hair cut, I am VERY VERY apprehensive (like VERY VERY;) Anyways, I scoured the internet, read millions of websites, watched billions of videos, in hopes of discovering the best, easiest, and most stylish way to cut (yes cut, not butcher or filet) my own hair. After watching sooo many videos, and reading sooo many posts, I noticed I kept returning to this one, so I thought "yeah.. let's do this" Long story.. ummm longer.. I did exactly what this video told me to do, it only took me about an hour from begining to end, which I think is GREAT timing for my first ever coupe de cheveux (french for haircut, yeah I went there;), and it came out INCREDIBLE!! I have gotten sooo many compliments (side note: can "wow your hair looks amazing, the ends arent all dried up and dead anymore" really be considered a compliment?) and I LOVE the way it looks... Listen to & follow exactly what this woman says & does and you will end up with one of your top most favorite hair cuts of all time (just like I did)!!!!!

StylistCheats super grateful you commented as I’m currently needing a hair cut and can’t find any one who can cut it ! Definitely doing it this weekend !

[@chinchillafurbabies]

I just decided to cut my hair like an hour ago because a hair dresser is too expensive for me right now and I'm in need of a good trim...and your video was the first one I watched to get a step-by-step tutorial on a good cut! Great video and all was well explained! Thanks!

[@sisboombah9595]

Thank you very much for your tutorial! For years I have wanted to learn how to do my own hair. You did it step by step and talked us through, and even sped up parts we didn't need to see in real time. Thanks!!!

[@npohlman4983]

Love it! Love it! Love it! I've been cutting my own hair for 4 years now. I'd get so frustrated when stylists wouldn't cut my hair the way I liked. I watched your other video and gave it a shot. My hair turned out just like I wanted. Just finished cutting my hair with this video..omg my hair feels so good! Thank you so much for the videos!!

[@laaaysuh]

I've cut my own hair for ~15 years now... I found this video a couple years ago and I love it! I always use it at my reference when I cut! Thanks for posting/helping! Off to go cut my hair now 💇🏽

[@kingk641]

hey this is the first time a real person started from scratch THANK YOU !!! I am looking for a nice way to layer my hair the whole head not just at the end of my hair ! Please start from scratch meaning do not start the video with someone who already has her hair layered and you are just trimming it ! I really appereicate it ! Thanks !!!

[@betsyciao]

thank you I will add that to my list, stay tuned :))

[@rumpelstinskin]

Most of the video, I was like "no, looks wrong...", but it's impressive how beautiful it turned out to be. And, really, you have amazing hair texture. Thank you for sharing :)

[@summerlauer7156]

Thank you so much for sharing your knowledge with us! I trim my daughters' hair but I never thought I could cut my own. I don't have money to spend on myself so I usually go about a year in between cuts. I just cut my hair from one long length using your tutorial. I'm sure I made mistakes, but it looks great to me!

[@betsyciao]

thats awesome !! I know how it is, us moms are usually last on the list :)) thanks for commenting..

[@brittneyrenae7742]

I have been using your tutorial on myself for a couple years now and I just recently used it again to cut my 13 year old nieces hair and she loves her hair so much! Thank you so much to making it so easy! ❤️

[@nathaliellaurador]

I am sooo excited to try this on my hair!!! absolutely amazing! thank you

[@thehilaryglow]

Great tutorial. I was a bit skeptical during the process because it looked that easy haha... but it turned out really great. Good job!

[@puidemare2337]

Thanks you so much for a fabulous instructional video!!! Just followed it and I'm SO HAPPY with the results!!! So much better then some of the salon results I've experienced. I love how cutting your own hair allows full control. I love your no nonsense, simple and clear instructions. You're an awesome guide!!! May I just offer one suggestion, sometimes(not many times) your a bit close to your camera and I'm not able to see every fab snip you make!! How I would love to see all your fab snips!! I'm such a nerd!! I need all the help I can get. :D HEAPS OF THANKS again for taking the time to share your knowledge!!! I'll be watching this again for a refresher.

[@betsyciao]

YAYAY !!! thanks so much, soo happy :)))

[@GcanyonmonkVR]

Just finished cutting my own hair today, with u. It looks great! Thank you!!

[@AmazinGrace1965]

I love this video!! Betsy is very clear with her instructions. I just sit in front of my laptop and do everything she does for my perfect haircut every time!! Thanks Betsy!!!!

[@ashleydavid92]

This is fantastic!! I have been dyeing my own hair for while (I go to Sally's to get my stuff, I've heard that it is better than box dye) and I have wanted to try cutting my own hair for forever! I can't wait to try this. Now I just need a good pair of scissors!

[@SugarDesti21]

Just did mine, (I graduated cosmetology school in 1991 and had never even attempted my own hair!) and it came out great, ty!

[@ikhrahussain157]

my hair is unbelievably long and dead and mum doesn't want me to cut it in case i ruin it, finally a way to do it that actually looks possible for me to do without ruining my hair! thank you for making my life a billion times easier cant wait to try this before i sleep... FINALLLY!!!

[@soozeworthington]

Hello betsyciao, thanks for posting this video - I found it very clear to follow and you've easily saved me £25! I've never cut my hair before (only tidied up the front) but I've cut the hair (the whole haircut) for my boyfriends for the last 10+ years. But no-one - boyfriends or friends - has been brave enough to cut my hair for me. I have lots of mid-back length fine blonde hair and I dislike how hairdressers have a) used razor/feather cutting so it goes fluffy and b) cut it straight across so it looks like a curtain. Even though I ask them to cut it blunt and in a V. Your tutorial resulted in me getting exactly the cut I want - a natural-looking layered V-shaped mane. For free! I watched the whole video, then rewatched it in sections, going into the bathroom to do each bit in turn, to make sure I missed nothing out. There's only one thing I didn't understand - after doing your fringe/bangs, you then go over the layers again - from 7'10" in the video - but I'm not sure what I should be doing here. On the first section, you cut along straight then point-cut, but the other section you seem to leave at an angle. These are 'head-shaped layers', because you're pulling them out perpendicular to the head - is that right? Could you explain a little more about what I should be doing here? And what the effect would be if we miss out that stage? Thanks again betsyciao and just think of all that money you're saving your viewers! I'm very grateful for you sharing your skill like this and I'll recommend your video to my friends. xx

[@betsyciao]

Hi Suzanne :)) Thank you so much for your lovely comment. I am happy that I could help. Yes at 7:10, I am and cutting the layers at an angle, I look for the bottom piece that is my guide & I use that to follow and connect my layers. you want to keep them at an angle so that they lay nicely. Thanks Again for watching :))

[@mrsbreezylynn]

That is a great tutorial. I moved about 6 houra from my home town and have been on the search for a new stylist I have been to so many stylists and they haven't did so well. I am also a stylist and have no time ro get my hair cut. This was very detailed and looks great. I have done my own before and let someone else do the bottom...this is awesome.

[@betsyciao]

Thanks Sabrina :))

[@LaceySmithsonian]

I just cut my hair like this and it looks better than when I pay 60 bucks for someone to cut it!

[@betsyciao]

Yayay thats awesome !!

[@wheatlc]

Thank you for sharing your skills. I really needed this. I moved to a new state and I haven't found anyone to maintain my hair. I no longer need them!!! Your awesome.

[@youzztubezz]

Thank you soooo much for this tutorial. I just followed along (pausing and unpausing at every step) and it looks great! No more split ends; so happy!!

[@betsyciao]

Awesome thanks for commenting :))
