How to do a Middy haircut in 5 steps

[@chrisBEiGE]

DO MORE OF THESE PLEASE!!! Full 20 minute tutorials (cut, color, styling) on mannequins into Old Hollywood glamour icons. Rita Hayworth, Ava Gardner, Elizabeth Taylor, Marilyn Monroe, etc! This could go viral if done right! ❣️

[@bouffantdelacroix]

Wow!!! Thank you so much for your advice darling. I would absolutely love to do more videos. Send me through some styles you would like to see.

[@aneu544]

@@bouffantdelacroix I loved this video! Any chance we can get the steps written out? I would be eternally grateful ❤️

[@Hurrrdurrrrrrr]

@@aneu544 that would be amazing

[@blowball17]

Please do Gilda hair!! :D

[@sailorhamlett]

The only other video I’ve seen of the middy being done does not actually explain how to actually do it. All it had was the stylist doing the cut saying to read the diagram and if you aren’t able to read the diagram she implies you’re a bad stylist. I really appreciate a true tutorial since not everyone can understand how to do something just by looking at a 70 year old image from a text book

[@emmaw.6872]

I think I know what video you're talking about...she calls it simply and easy but its like, lady, nobody learns from old fashioned diagrams anymore

[@BenSonZuniga]

It's so good seeing you back! And, yes, it's so hard to find tutorials on this. Amazing video.

[@bouffantdelacroix]

thank you Benson. i couldn't agree more. i have looked everywhere and there are some great attempts, but they are still pretty hard to follow. thank you for your support. Magic Michael

[@lulococo9700]

This was such a good tutorial. Ample patience, along with the diagrams and some vintage books on how to choose your style from the 1940s, I was able to give myself this haircut. It took a while and I had to use a spray bottle to rewet my hair, but it's a very forgiving process and turned out in VICTORY! Thank you so much for posting this, you're an absolute doll, thank you thank you!!

[@jessgonzalez6564]

YAAAAASSSSS! So happy to finally have a tutorial for the middy cut, and your right that is simple 😊! Can't wait to see the second video 😍👏.

[@bouffantdelacroix]

thank you so much darling. i am so glad you liked it. and i will absolutely be shooting the styling video this week. please click on the notification button so you don't miss out . Magic Michael

[@muffycrosswire2757]

Really helpful instructions 😀 I still watch your Marilyn Monroe video, would love to see other videos for styling this haircut. Thanks for sharing! 👍

[@bouffantdelacroix]

Thank you Muffy. You are a darling. I will be working on some more videos soon ❤️

[@historylov3r]

Love this. Now I know how to describe what I want to my stylist.

[@carolina.helena]

I cut my hair for the first time today, trying to mimic your tutorial! And it looks good, not professional, but I am impressed with what I have managed to do. Thanks for the tutorial :))

[@bouffantdelacroix]

Well done! It is not easy to cut your own hair, I am so happy you got all of the information you needed. Send me a picture of the outcome to Instagram @poisonapplehair . Love Magic Michael

[@AnneAndersonFoxiepaws]

These are so wonderful Michael. My hair isnt what it used to be and discovering I could do these vintage styles on a wig has opened up so much more options that I dont think my own, ancient, hair is up to these days. Also it leaves me the choice of so many colours because I dont want to start dying my natural hair which hasnt gone gray yet despite my advanced age lol! Powder pink here I come!

[@michelehays1974]

FANTASTIC tutorial!! You break this down very clearly - even the most green of beauty school student's can follow along and understand :) VERY well done! :)

[@vetervgolovy]

Amazing! Will show it to my hair stylist.

[@chickenofhesea]

Michael, thank you so much for this fantastic and detailed tutorial!

[@bouffantdelacroix]

chickenofthesea my pleasure darling. I hope it helps. I also have. Tutorial with layers too!

[@haze7eyes163]

Just found your videos! Love your work.

[@bouffantdelacroix]

thank you so much. i am just uploading the styling videos now. i hope you like them.

[@Hurrrdurrrrrrr]

I would love it if you did haircuts throughout the decades.

[@Justafan333]

You have the most fabulous detailed videos ❤️ Is the hair you work with human hair as I struggle with curling my synthetic wig?

[@neppiesworld9432]

This was AWESOME! I absolutely enjoyed this tutorial! ❤️❤️❤️❤️

[@Timetraveler1111MN]

That’s fantastic wonderful I was able to cut my hair took me about three times as long as the video of the actual cutting part I already know how to do the roller set but I think it’s brushed out too much for my liking I like a lot more curls in mine and much more added pin curls in the front.

[@PLOffical]

That’s great and I hope to get it back alongside with making a modern middy here

[@Riches2Rural]

If I go with this cut, and wear it straight, is it a pretty cut? I love it styled, but I won't be able to style daily. Beautiful job!

[@ajrodgers1687]

When are the products back in stock? Nearly cried when I seen there was none left!

[@bouffantdelacroix]

AJ Rodgers hi darling. Sorry for the late reply. They will be back in stock soon. I think cherry la blaze is stocking them

[@magicsoda]

[@charlie_remi]

Wow wow you never disappoint looks beautiful and sleek can i try this technique on a heat resistant synthetic wig should I saturate the hair with water ?

[@HollieDepp_85]

This was wonderful! Thank you!!! Another video yes!!

[@vinoto]

Great! Thanks for sharing 👍😁 Time to get choppin 💇‍♀️

[@bouffantdelacroix]

thank you so much for your comment. i hope you liked the video

[@Timetraveler1111MN]

Noo i’ve been trying to cut my hair for months now and every time I brush it out and get in front of the mirror it doesn’t seem to feel like it’s gonna work out at all I rewatch videos over and over I think it’s just an art form because you check in on us and you’re like oh see how that’s working out there and I’m like nope I don’t see it at all that’s not a horseshoe!! Ha ha I have a really great respect for the art form of cutting hair now.

[@russiasgreatestexports4026]

Thanks for this!

[@maryanne1830]

You are actually hilarious! Thank you for this!

[@babyrenee6537]

you look fabulous David~so does dolly! (ok not as pretty as Miss Kitty) So growing out my grey~planned to go lilac, have had special salon day booked since Jan. for my BIG 6-0.. Now won't be going anywhere due to lockdown *pouting* salons all closed, looking like very intimate party (w lambchop my maltese lol) Did find products-and had no trouble going blond on my own so ok w doing color.. do you think i might manage this cut on myself hehe *sheepish* i know the back darling thats the kicker.. ("Order your CreaClip NOW! 1-800-JAK-ITUP!" *lol@self* so not above it...)

[@ginarosas199]

Will the middy cut look good with naturally curly/wavy hair?

[@karenny4909]

Que hermoso trabajo , gracias por compartirlo ❤️

[@anastasiaromanova7665]

Dolly’s head must really hurt lol! I hope you are gentler with humans... thanks for the video it’s rare to find a good vintage haircut tutorial

[@bouffantdelacroix]

Thank you so much darling. Isn’t it frustrating? So many promises out there leading to dead ends. I’m so glad you liked it

[@DiamondDivaPrincess]

Do you have a space for consultations? Do you know how Marilyn Monroe had her haircut in The Seven Year Itch?

[@ladytino5715]

Good job can't wait to try it on my wig

[@emmafreeman6582]

Yes another video

[@bouffantdelacroix]

thank you so much darling. i hope you like it. Magic Michael

[@Timetraveler1111MN]

1:37 that’s what my hair looks like now. Yeahhh me!

[@Chowah]

💥BOOM💥

[@Timetraveler1111MN]

I set my hair in rollers for years and love 1940s -early 50s hair, I can’t really get my hair cut 💇🏽‍♀️near me. Also they don’t know; shear the front argh 😖

[@delicatedile7860]

Please can do you make s vidio on how to cut very short middy haircut ,the shortes version

[@MarryBery]

Thank you

[@bouffantdelacroix]

Marry Bery you are welcome darling

[@julianneaitch]

Id love to see a video of the middy (original) that includes the layers.

[@bouffantdelacroix]

what a good idea. i might do a follow up tutorial about that.

[@julianneaitch]

@@bouffantdelacroix That would b awesome! Thank u xxxx

[@Gam87]

Beautiful. Could you Hilda Huracan's hairstyle? Please? She is Ana Paula Arosio

[@daisydaffsforever723]

I wish you lived in UK I would get you to cut my hair!!

[@citytrees1752]

I realize this is a mannequin but why does a hairdresser not know that for getting tangles out of wet hair you start combing it out at the bottom first. Anyone with wavy or curly hair knows this. Why don't hairdressers? They always break and rip my hair by putting the comb at the top and ripping it down through wet hair.

[@user-cv4bl3oz5n]

Is this like how grace Kelly had her hair cut?

[@TheRetroFanatic]

If I went in for a muddy I’d be disappointed in this cut. This doesn’t look right, it’s supposed to have lots of blunt layers not be even at the bottom.

[@FridaAvosetta]

That’s what I was thinking, there’s no layers to it and the swoop is so drastic that it just looks off. Not a great tutorial imo

[@lizh1955]

Kind of disappointed. From all my reading, there were 2 predominant cuts from that period. This is the horseshoe cut. Every description I've read of the Middy says it was a layered cut. From the diagram, it looks like the layers are spaced at 1.5" except for the bottom one which is only 1".

[@kitsunekainko]

This is just the round cut for the bottom. A true middy cut has layers throughout.

[@bouffantdelacroix]

thank you for your reply. i hope you received at least some joy from the video. wishing you the best of health through these hard times.

[@Kittiekaos89]

Not true. A true unstyled middy has limited or no layers toward the back, only layering in the front. I think you’re thinking of a “modified middy”. There are different ways to cut hair to suit different styles. This is a classic for the pageboy style made popular in the 40s.

[@muffycrosswire2757]

@Kittiekaos89 - Good point, layers would make the pincurls or rollers more difficult.

[@Plektrud]

I am sorry but this is not correct. In the diagram there are layers shaped into u shape, each after the other.
