I am 70 yrs young and every time I get my hair cut it is an extremely bad haircut,Then it takes me months to grow it out. Some of my friends agree with me salons do not want old people in their salons.I do not have the courage to cut my own hair. Rosie I wish I lived near you. You would be the person I go to for a haircut. Thank you for this tutorial.

[@lynnrichardson610]

Sorry Raquel I re named you Rosie.

[@LeeEmDee]

Your explanation is amazing! I have super long hair with several different curl patterns and I need a trim in the worst way. I can’t stand the “v” or oval look in the back, but haven’t been able to find a good DIY blunt tutorial until now. I’m looking forward to trying this - thank you!

[@samanthamendiz]

I hate the v cut look too! I’ve been trying to get rid of it and now this video has givens good insight 👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽

[@luciaayaso2260]

Yes girl thank you. I been cutting my own hair in a v and U shape for a while but am growing it out so I want it square with no layers. I just haven't done this in a while and I was kicking myself when you showed how you do this because that's how I cut other people's hair. Thanks for the video. 😊❤

[@martina_laray]

Thank you so much for this! I have been doing a 'V' or 'U' Cut on myself for around 10 years, but PCOS has made my hair look very fine and stragly in the last few years. A blunt cut looks so much better and makes my hair appear way more thick and full than my previous style.

[@en2336]

This is the BEST blunt hair cut tutorial. You clearly know what your talking about and I feel like I can 100% trust you with my hair. Thank you!!!

[@empresslunah]

I love your channel , this technique even worked for my curly hair when I straightened it and it made the v shape look fanatic bc I was still a little confused about the parting and you helped so much !💛 thank you for this !

[@treasureharris3968]

Hands down the best video for cutting a blunt cut on yourself. Thank you!!

[@StephdeIcaza]

Oh my God! I watched a whole bunch of videos to cut my own hair and did the whole hairtye thing. I'm sooooo doing this next time!! Saved to my makeup and hair playlist 💓

[@myramv3079]

I tried cut my own hair using a KZbin video and couldn't get it straight in the back. I been looking for weeks for a video to get it straight in the back. Thank you for this video.🙏🏽❤

[@sassjas7642]

This totally works! 😊And your directions make sense. This is amazing and absolutely life changing and I am eternally grateful for you making and posting this video. I am very happy I found it because you're saving me from many disastrous diy haircuts, and I am so excited about doing this now onwards since it went smoothly the first time and saving money on haircuts in the future. You're the BEST! 💗🤗

[@hairhome7613]

This comment made my day 🥹

[@LK-gt8oz]

Well, with a lot of prayer and your wonderful directions, I did it! Thank you!

[@MsHorrified]

Thank you so much! I've never had the confidence to cut my own hair but your video made it so simple! It literally took me 25 mins and its nice and even! 😊

[@hairhome7613]

Oh yay!! Happy you got good results 🎉 easier than we build it up to be in our heads isn’t it

[@MsHorrified]

@@hairhome7613 Absolutely! 💜

[@moni70963]

Genius! Thank you so much. I struggle with this everytime.

[@cystalinum2461]

This video deserves more views I used this method and my hair turned out perfectly how I like it it turned out being more u shaped but I really like that

[@marnig.1172]

Thank you! I have been trying to figure out how to cut the back and front evenly, and this makes total sense. ❤️ Going to try it.

[@Dee2Jaay]

Wow that’s amazing! Thanks for the tips!

[@gabrieluhh_]

Literally the easiest way I've found to do this cut thank you so much !!!!

[@beatrizramos9414]

Just tried it. Works amazing. Had tried the Brad Mondo technique a couple of months ago and it had worked well, but took me way longer and needed hair ties (which at the moment I didn't have available). Wonderful tutorial!!!!! Thank you for sharing

[@hairhome7613]

Thank you 😊 Glad it worked for you!

[@StephiNordlander-bb8yu]

Trying out now!!!!!!!! This is so helpful, saves me $80 in a haircut at the salon today!

[@Emilyadrianaa]

I liked this a lot more than the hair tie method, it's way easier for me and comes the ends come out nicer. There's not many diys on yt that you can do for a one length cut.

[@nala7899]

fantatic, it's the second time I'm using your tutorial - first time worked well, and since hairdressers have the urge to cut and thin out, even though I say blunt cut, I'm goint to do it again at home!

[@JulienArbor]

This is brilliant…thank you!

[@blueshoes915]

This was so helpful. Thank you.

[@dawnjohnson8739]

I did it. Works great. Thank you!

[@josephine2886]

Thank YOU so much for this DIY blunt haircut video - I've been wanting a blunt haircut for years but my hair dresser actually didn't know what I was asking for when I asked her for a "Blunt cut"...and the steps/tips you give on this particular cut are easy to follow - so wish me luck, I'm off to DIM!!🤩 I will get back to you after the cut - oops, blunt cut!!

[@kimberlyv9548]

Wow this technique really works guys! Your explanation was on point. Why have I known this just now !

[@hairhome7613]

I’m glad you tried it out!!

[@ViolettaD1485]

I wish I'd seen this video this morning. My hair is really too thin for the unicorn cut, although I was able to round off the longest section so it wasn't a sharp angle. Next trim, I'm trying this method.

[@UOlover13]

Need to try this! I tried other methods but I don’t like the v shape. My hair is so long and driving me crazy! I need a blunt cut

[@BlueSky_Breezy]

This worked! Thank you!

[@Foolescent]

Thank youuu I needed a tutorial without hair ties because I have 0.

[@carmelsileo6520]

Super helpful, thank you

[@rajanigurung8885]

Yesterday i cut my hair by same way. And it's result awesome. Now i don't need saloon to cut my hair length. 👌👍👏

[@gwendolyncarson6127]

Great tutorial, thank you❤

[@marion06]

Please could you upload a full video not just little parts of it. I dont understand it well like that 😐

[@kerihatgirl8990]

Interesting about looking up to cut it blunt. My husband trims my elbow length hair, and he lets my hair down in 1/2” increments to trim each layer. For the front, he has me turn my head to each side to match it to the back. So it is one length, not longer in the front. I like my ends blunt as well, as layers would leave straggly pieces sticking out of my braids.

[@hairhome7613]

That’s exactly how I would do a blunt on one of my own clients, he’s got skills!!

[@kerihatgirl8990]

I am very happy with the great results I get every time, my best friend watched him trim my hair one afternoon, asked him a few questions about the technique, as as he finished with my haircut, she said I am next and him him trim about an inch and a half off her midback length hair. She was happy with the results, and she stops by to visit to see me and get her hair trimmed. She likes his work and that she is getting a free haircut.

[@TheQShow53]

Oh wow thank you so much!!

[@HairByPierre]

This is Genius gonna try!!!’ I love a blunt cut but didn’t want to have to have someone else do it

Thank u !! I have much hair but its fine and i dont must part my hair for this and it came out amazing !! Thank u so much Sorry my englisch is not the best im from Germany

[@hairhome7613]

Oh Guten Tag! I’m happy it helped you

[@akankshamahobe7574]

I tried it , it looks simple but it's really tricky. You need to be very carefull, and take really small amount hairs at once , also whenever we cut we shall measure it with our hair on the other sides,. I thought I messed up but at last it all came together, but in the process my hair got really shorter than I intended it to be.

[@hairhome7613]

I’m sorry it got shorter but glad you gave it a shot and found what works for you 👍🏽 thanks for sharing

[@66ElleCamino]

Great video!

[@MoonLightOnWater1]

👍🏽amazing!

[@LK-gt8oz]

Hello, love this video! You mentioned at the end of your hair coloring video that you have one for cutting layers. Could you let me know where to find that? Thank you!

[@hairhome7613]

Hi! I never posted them, I had them edited then deleted (long story) but I’m overdue for a trim so I’ll be sure to film myself 👍🏽 I could probably have it up by next week

[@LK-gt8oz]

@@hairhome7613 I can't thank you enough. I look forward to seeing it!

[@blondiewendy]

Thank you

[@soniaf7794]

Hello, Thank you for your video. How do you call the haircut that is not straight blunt but curve at the shoulders? U-shape?

[@hairhome7613]

Yes u-shape :)

[@ClaudiaSanchez-jz1pu]

How do you cut hair when parted on the left side? Can you cut hair parted in the middle then part hair to the left? Hope you can provide some advise. Thanks

[@hairhome7613]

Hi!! Yes exactly as you said part down the middle then flip, unless you have a deeper part in which case cut with the side part

[@huevitoestrelladoo]

So if i have thin hair i don't need to section my hair?

[@meryrimmer1381]

💯 if you don’t have a lot of hair or want healthier hair cut it straight also if you are using bleach! If you have layers your hair looks extremely damaged cut it straight!! What i like about straight square blunt hairstyles is that when you curl the front it doesn’t make the curl higher then the back … Also if you are a little chubby it hides the side of your back and if you have it long better because it even covers your chubby arms. People who I don’t recommend is if you have short hair and have a square back with no waist DON’T DO IT but if you have it long yes, but not short

[@paocaro1181]

Hola que tal ? , estaba buscando videos de este tipo porque me quiero cortar el pelo yo misma pero en este estilo recto , yo siempre me lo e cortado sola pero e usado estilo en v pero ahora quisiera cortarlo recto pero yo misma y me e dado cuenta que este estilo es el más difícil , ya que tienes que ser precisa para que no te quede chueco el pelo por la parte de atrás , quisiera intentarlo con tu método pero la verdad me da un poquito de miedo , por ahora le pido a mi hermana que me lo corte . Pero muchas gracias por este video . Siento que me va a servir si me decido a cortarlo yo misma 😊👍

[@hairhome7613]

Inténtalo cuando estés lista 😊 y se paciente contigo misma porque a veces hechando a perder se aprende. Cuando agarres la técnica ya no se te va olvidar. También ofrezco ayuda por video conferencia en rshairstylist.com si quieres 👍🏽

[@angelsanwinhtay5171]

Beautiful

[@sassydaisy123]

I notice your hair bends in at the ends , what am I doing wrong at home when I blow dry it? Is it the cut?

[@cheriloveaffairrr]

good video

[@duraeshahwar3443]

i wish i could do the same as u hv done it

[@jennasantostefano7785]

this literally saved my hair another turtorial i watched made it sooo uneven

[@kalimatayyeba7746]

We can cut a diagonal forward line

[@hairhome7613]

Yes if you feel comfortable doing that it would also get the job done :)

[@A441]

I have medium thickness hair. What would happen if i just cut it all this way instead of sectioning off the top portion?

[@hairhome7613]

It would just be a tiny bit harder cuz the shears have to work through more hair but feel free to take sections large enough for you to handle!

[@renestaten5240]

👏👏👏👏

[@mistymusic8]

If I normally wear a side part, would I want to keep a side part while doing this haircut or should I part it in the middle? If parted in the middle, wouldn’t it look weird after when I switch it back to a side part?

[@hairhome7613]

Yes you could keep the side part if you would like a more symmetrical look but you may still have a slight variation in the length on the heavy side. If that happens just don’t look up as much when trimming the sections from the ear forward. Side parts are tricky haha and no it wouldn’t look funny when you switch it back. If you wear both parts always choose the middle for cutting

[@hairhome7613]

Let me know if that made sense I can try to explain better

[@AlioH89]

I'm confused. when you turned and tilted your head your fingers didn't move so how is the cut changing?

[@hairhome7613]

Hey!! Sorry I missed your comment but thanks for asking. The tilting of the head is what shifts the weight line (the ends of the hair) To see what I’m talking about, pretend you’re cutting you bangs, bring the hair forward brush straight and hold your hair where you intend to “cut” (scissor finger style) now tilt your head ear to shoulder towards the right. You should feel the hair sliding from one side of the bangs. Now bring your head back to center and voilà “side bangs” you should have the hair on the left side of the bang longer than the right. This is what’s happening on the ends of the hair when you look to the side and look up. Alternatively you look down to create a V shape. This is why stylists typically ask you hold your head a certain way for the entirety of a cut or at least part of it. Let me know if that made sense 👍🏽😊

[@Allsmilelovee]

I can totally see me messing this all up. I don’t think I would be able to turn my head and look up in the same angle every time. My hair would be a mess😅

[@Ireneputri]

can this actually be applied to shoulder length hair?

[@hairhome7613]

Hi! No I don’t recommend for shoulder length hair, only armpit length or longer (As in the ends of the hair fall below your armpit) you could try it but I have a feeling the back center would present an issue more than it did for me.

[@Ireneputri]

Thanks for answering! I've already done it hehe and it turned out not that bad! The back center hair indeed needed a fixing and impossible to fix it by myself (too short). Your tutorial is definitely a good one. Thanks so much!

[@97mph]

you are the bomb

[@Maryroselan]

I cannot thank you enough

[@robyncalvosa2064]

👍🤗

[@brenna0323]

So I just attempted this, and something I didn’t realize is making sure your fingers holding the hair taut are parallel with the floor 😭

[@hairhome7613]

Oh no!!

[@foreveryoursunconditionally]

I think there needs to be a little more explaining because before i followed a few tutorials, i think it needs to be a bit slower and just purely showing the cut, instead of the video with explanation. But apart from that good tutorial, but first time a tutprial this easy and i didnt get it correctly.

[@annmccall5183]

What about side parts???

[@hairhome7613]

You can cut with the side part :) but there will always be a little bit of asymmetry when cutting with a side part depending on how your hairline grows. To disguise this don’t go for too sharp of a square shape on the heavier side.

[@pineapplemendez]

Thank you for this video. I don't like the V look. This video was really easy to follow.

[@darlcha771]

Its sound so complicated. What if you made a wrong turn of your head

[@inhaleexhale]

I'm sorry, this does not work for me. I get disoriented trying to look to the side at a very precise angle. It is not easily reproducible for me.

[@Meiko_001]

I'm so confused lol

[@guzeldreamer3932]

Why you made it so complicated? Just devide hair in half in front and cut diagonally. The hair in back should be cut shorter and hair in front should left longer. And it will give straight line. Don’t understand what are you trying to do with moving your head. Seriously confusing .

[@hairhome7613]

Hey! It would definitely look straight in the front but it would be in a slight V in the back. This technique is for those of us who really don’t want that look. If all you care is to have it straight across the front 👍🏽

[@user00616]

Your hair looks so uneven 😂

[@melissatimson9447]

Thank you for this video! I don't want to start cutting my own hair, but at this point I don't trust anyone anymore. A lot of the time it seems like they don't finish the haircut (they leave one side longer) and I have perfectionism with my hair so I can't have that. I've been finishing it myself when that happens and it comes out okay so I think I'm gonna start being my own stylist 😂 this is the best video I found so far! 🩵

[@hairhome7613]

I’m glad you found it helpful! The saying “progress over perfection” helps a lot especially when learning a new skill, don’t beat yourself up if you can’t get it right the first time 💕

[@melissatimson9447]

​@Hair & Home Thank you so much! I'll keep that in mind 😊 I have a question though. When you turn your head to the side and look up, do you cut straight across with your head in the same position or are you allowed to look down at your fingers and cut straight across? I watched the video a few times and thought I saw you doing both. I hope this made sense, maybe I just confused myself haha

[@hairhome7613]

Yes I understand! Yes you can 👍🏽 just keep your fingers nice and tight and make sure there’s no tension left on the hair shaft. You can move your hand up closet to you whatever you need to make it easier (and safer 😅) for you

[@user-jf4xi4tv3q]

Thank you
