How To Trim Hair Straight Across At Home

This video is Part 1 of a series of videos on steps to cut your own hair in an easy way. This first video focuses on How to trim hair straight across at home. I easily show how to do the trim using a hair tie to make sure the back result is a straight line

[@lizbethdane]

You did a great job, thanks for showing the difference between getting a V/U shape in the back and getting a blunt line. I feel like no one ever explains this. Thanks!

I just cut my own hair for the first time using your tutorial! I haven't had a haircut in over 3 years. I haven't bothered because I work in a hospital med surg, and my hair has been in a bun for decades. Well, I just retired and no longer have to wear my hair up. I could sit on my hair, and I'm sick of hair everywhere. Even my cat is complaining about my hair on everything, and she's tired of finding hair in her food. Anyway, it worked beautifully! I cut over a foot off. I watched your video 4 times and played it as I was cutting. If anyone gets it wrong after watching your step-by-step guide, then they weren't paying attention. Thank you!

[@user-it2qw3em2d]

Kristy . I discover you 3 months or so. I'm watching your videos often, very professional and useful lessons. You are very knowledgeable. However what really got my attention was your personality. The honesty and goodness uzes from your heart. Amazing.

I’ve watched soooo many tutorials on diy haircuts and this has got to be the best explanation and technique yet!! Thank you!❤

[@ameenahatim]

Best information I've found on this so far and I've been watching a lot of videos on diy haircuts for the past couple of days

[@annamarialauda5193]

Thank you so much for this very useful video! I feel like you touched upon all the topics I had been missing in other tutorials. I finally feel ready to take the plunge and flaunt my scissors 🙏 wish me luck!

[@Triciadean7777]

❤❤I watched this two times and went in the rr and did mine!!! Worked perfectly! Can’t thank you enough!!!!!❤

[@potluxsucculents3806]

Thank you so much! I listened to everything you said and my son just told me my hair is now perfectly straight in the back. I appreciate you!

[@jeanettefujikawa]

Your part 4 video showed up in my feed and I had to see more! You are very thorough and what I appreciated the most was in the reveal, you kept it straight to show the true cut. Every single tutorial I have watched shows it curled. I need to know what it looks like for real, any style looks good curled 🙃.

[@jambajackson1818]

I love straight Sleek hair I think it looks really good tucked perfectly behind both ears with a Sleek middle part

[@KarenMunoz-vl1in]

Great job on the video! I feel a bit more comfortable trimming my hair the right way now. Thanks for your time!

[@kristymaccone7045]

M Lewis Thank you for sharing that with me. I can’t wait to start making more videos again. These are the comments that give me that push. I’ve just been sick for a while.

[@kathrynfriedlund3280]

I tried this, and I had to touch it up after doing my regular part in my hair (I wear a side part). It turned out longer on one side, but the second trim fixed it. Thank you!

[@christinaserrano2768]

I just have to say...that for ME...you totally explained this to me the way i needed it to be explained so that i can understand. Ill just be honest i cant afford to spend 15-18 bucks for a basic trim that my hair visibly NEEDS after some time...even without any heat applied to it!!! Ive been watching what feels like non stop videos trying to understand the concept of how to cut my hair straight and i just couldnt understand and so ive been terrified to get into it myself up until this point .....until finding your video so thank you and know your video and content made it to the right person and is so greatly appreciated and genuinely helped me so thank you thank you thank you !!!!!👍👍😊😊

[@kristymaccone7045]

That is just so inspiring to read. Thank you so much. I can’t wait to get back to making videos. I’ve been a bit sick lately but I want to come back to work.

[@orls9068]

I understand I'm the same, I can't afford to spend so much money on a basic cut. I have tried this before cut at the hair tie didn't go well for me, this method is much better !! Going to give it another try and know it will go better

[@GypsyDanger-5150]

I second this! Excellent video and explanation. It's been SO long since I've done anything to my hair, and I need it BADLY (along with a lot of other neglected stuff I need to do to ME) Sooooo...you have given me the courage, motivation, inspiration, etc. to get started and do this. Thank you SO much 😊

[@1984bham]

Thank you for this great tutorial! Do you have a tutorial for the long A-Line cut or recommend a good one?

[@kathyr.1721]

I wish I had seen this long ago... So good! Thanks, I look forward to following your instructions. 🙏🌼

[@yangyue3459]

Lovely video. Thanks

[@jessicashirtliff8672]

Good video i agree with so much of what youve said. But How about blending the back with the front after if your not just touching up a different shape of cut? I know you didn't really cut much length off your hair but im looking to take 2-3 inches off all around & I have much less, finer hair than you. I want it all in a blunt straight cut all around long bob cut & just don't want to have a shock or lose a bunch more length trying to even it out once I've cut the back and front and take out the ponytails...

[@jennifermcclarnon1554]

Is the a way to keep you length all the way down your back but only put a little bit of layers in the front?

[@aprilshtatman6299]

I am curious about parting my hair . Should I still partition straight down the middle if I normally wear my.paet slightly ti the left.

[@lupegaehring2362]

I cut my own hair , and it's fine hair ... And I also had the vcut, and I cut just the point off , thanks ! Btw I am a hairstylist and do not like anyone to cut my hair ( thank God I found this😊 )

[@Lila-oi9xt]

❤️I absolutely luv ur Yt channel & adore your hair! can u make a vid showing how u color it? Oh and before I forget where do u get your capes from baby doll? mine just teared the other day!😰 hopefully it comes before the video, otherwise you’ll be protected in a normal cape, meanwhile I’ll be in my ripped one getting hair all over and itchy. I better look fast, I loved my cape so much until the tear😭💖 and would love a color refresh vid!!

[@kristymaccone7045]

Hi Lisa Thank you so much! This haircut focus series has 3 more parts but then comes the Color, Highlights and Toning series. Regarding the cape, I actually just use a white shirt 😜when I’m cutting my hair, I like to have the color contrast between my hair and my shirt. This enables a better view on the lengths I’m cutting. Although I know it can get itchy hahaha.

[@Lila-oi9xt]

@@kristymaccone7045 u should defff use a cape next time dolly!! thats all i used it for before it ripped! and speaking where do u get urs from? i wanna match with u!! 💜

[@bellakristen5605]

How many times in a year should we trim our hair for more hair growth?

[@tailzzzzz]

How do I get it longer in the back, sort of ovaled? My hair is more medium-length now because I just had 4 inches taken off. I'm 59 with long, thinning hair. It's not bone straight, some wave, though not curly. It has texture, so not shiny either. The stylist who cut it yesterday interpreted my 'round the back' as sort of a 'fan cut' (fans out shoulder to shoulder), which looks GREAT until gravity settles in. The fan is nowhere near oval enough. So now everything looks blunt, and most everything ends up hanging down the front. In the front it looks blunt, straight across, slightly shorter in the back, and front heavy. And with thin hair, I need more chunks of hair hanging down the back and want the back longer than the front, but blended. If I wear a hoodie, it looks even shorter in the back with even less hair there. To make matters worse, his fan wasn't perfect, so when it all settles forward, one side is longer than the other. I want some soft layers, which he got right, but if I start chopping away, I'm worried I'll lose them. I don't want the A-look face-framing layers. I want the length, but I want the layers softly within the length, if that makes sense? I ordered a pair of scissors, but they won't get here until Tuesday. I still need to buy a comb. Just the 'uneven' is driving me nuts. What sucks is I like this stylist because he does section off, snips slowly, takes his time. I can't see if it's even though until I get home. I have to take my glasses off while he's cutting. I've gone back for a fix twice in the past, and I don't want to do that anymore. I always feel bad, though I do think he should be pulling more pieces, checking to make sure they're even. I wish I was young and pretty again like you are. Your video is perfect, just the opposite of what I'm needing right now.
