Make YOUR Hair Look FAB. DIY Cut for MOVEMENT & VOLUME

[@Sooz1234]

My wavy fine hair, when it gets too long and has no layers at all, just drags itself down and drags my face down along with it! I have been cutting my own hair for several decades, but have learned SO much from you- thank you! 🥰

[@StylesBySummer]

So happy to hear I've been helpful to you! Thanks for watching and supporting the channel!

[@mlmartin2922]

Same exact thing here. I'm 51 and have cut and dyed my own since I was 19. Everyone in a while I think "Oh, let's grow it out"...only to have it end up looking stringy and weird, because the top layer of my hair is fairly straight, but the underside is pretty wavy. So I have to style it every day when it's long, or it looks like a hot mess. After a while I'll cut it to wear it just grazes the top of my shoulders and sometimes add layers or at least make little snips at the end of the length to give it some movement. With it cut that way, it will comb or brush out straight, so I can let it air dry...or I can blow dry and curl or straighten with flat iron or curling iron.

Hi summer, can you tell me which shampoo is your favorite at the moment? I get oily hair I’m 2 days , I’m recently using the morrocanoil hydrate shampoo and conditioner and it makes my hair more oily. Please let me know thank you

[@melissapalmer1839]

I can't thank you enough for this tutorial. I followed it exactly and absolutely love my hair! I have been afraid to go back to the salon because the last two times I asked for a "trim" they chopped so much off. So, now I know how to do it exactly like I like and it doesn't cost me a dime! you are an angel. thank you!

[@twinklepoornima7]

The shorter hair looks gorgeous!

[@StylesBySummer]

Thank you! It was SO needed!

[@goldenera7th]

This is by far the best haircut tutorial I have seen on KZbin. So thorough and very professional. Thank you👍🌹

[@L4Lxo]

This is exactly what I'm requesting at my next appointment. I'm so over mine too! I have the same problem, I need to bring my length up, connect the layers, and give my hair a fuller overall look! ❤ your channel Summer!

[@janetsantoro9639]

I am all about the long hair, but I do like this length on you too. It’s not that short. I’ve been cutting my own hair off and on since I was 16. It comes out so much better now that I’m a stylist, lol!

[@StylesBySummer]

🤣 it is a difficult task cutting your own hair! At least if it's not perfect by my own hands I don't get as upset lol

[@LindseyLeighAR]

Oh my goodness, thank you! I have an entire playlist dedicated to “Hair Love”. There are a ton of videos to sift through. Hundreds of tons, actually. I’ve never made it thru an entire video until this one. Thank you for posting. Thank you for being detailed, yet concise. Thank you for using plain language that an average American can easily understand. I still don’t quite understand “perimeter”, but this is the first video that helped me understand how to use a “guide”-every video mentions “point cutting” and using your “guide”. You explained it so well. I think I’ve been using sections that are too thick. They seemed small to me, but I could never see the guide

[@ritastojanvic9344]

It looks gorgeous. I’ve been cutting my hair for 20+ yrs. (I was a stylist way back). I’ve always done layering and I’ve wanted to get rid of the v look in the back. Thank you for this. I need to try this!

[@StylesBySummer]

Thank you so much!!

[@lizbrown4240]

Thank you so much for this tutorial, honestly my hair was ruined, I followed this and now it’s perfect, I’m so happy. Thank you so much Summer 😘

[@veronicafullford1697]

It’s really good to see you cut your own hair. It looks great. I have to cut my own hair due to back issues (agony to get my hair washed) so this is very helpful. I cut layers throughout on my longish hair but luckily it is curly which conceals any imperfections.

[@StylesBySummer]

Curly hair is helpful like that!! Thanks for watching!

[@suziescrapbook3574]

I live in the sticks so I love these tutorials on how to cut your own hair.

[@StylesBySummer]

Awesome!

[@carachow007]

Cutting your own hair is very hard. You did a fabulous job! I love this cut on you. It looks so fresh and makes your hair look really full. Like you, I have denser and thicker hair in the back and thinner and finer hair on the sides, so I really appreciate your tips on how to cut and style our kind of hair! During lockdown, I tried blunt cutting my hair using hair ties to make it even, but I think next time I will try using a guide as you did.

[@StylesBySummer]

Thank you so much!!

[@leesennett2798]

Great Cut . Keep the videos coming . Love watching them .

[@StylesBySummer]

I might try and do some cuts on wigs for DIY viewers. Can only chop my own hair so many times 😂. Thanks for watching!

[@leesennett2798]

Sounds Awesome. Look forward to it . Your Hair Looks Great as usual .

[@NaturenNatashacandlecrafts]

I've used your cutting method and super pleased with my hair. Thank you for sharing. Your layering technique works brilliantly on my fine hair. Didn't use thinning scissors though as my fine hair didn't have bulk. Sometimes layers leave it too thin, super happy 😊

[@StylesBySummer]

Awesome, happy to hear!

[@oelfahrautenbach]

Hi Summer. Your hair was so long. I love your new hair cut👌! You are such a pro and did an awesome job cutting your own hair.

[@StylesBySummer]

Thanks! That's the longest it's been on it's own probably since I was 18 😂

[@tiffanysasges1800]

Love it! I'm a stylist, have very similar hair type, cut & color my own hair(because I never take the time to get it done) and I'm also a lefty. It's nice to see the cutting methods you use. Sometimes, watching a right-handed stylist cut, trying to switch it in my brain, gives me a headache! 😂

[@turragorman59]

I love it. Fine hair with to much length gets heavy and flat. Excellent!

[@StylesBySummer]

It really does! I'm so happy I cut it, so much easier to get volume now!!

[@ErinCRN]

Love this length on you. I’m super impressed you can cut your own hair.

[@StylesBySummer]

Thank you!!

[@joannduval-bartmess8636]

I love your videos…. I’ve learned so much from you! Always trimming my hair after watching your videos. Most recently I did long layers after that video. Your hair looks beautiful! And you are so sweet to share your expertise with all of us. ❤️❤️

I really like it this length I had my hair your length or a little longer but I asked my partner to cut it because I was sick of long hair. Now its easy to wash dry and style and also I've noticed it has a natural girl ❤

The shorter length helps!

[@sarahpetrie6219]

I love this tutorial! Definitely going to give it a try!

[@MsKelsieJH]

Hi, Summer. I usually strongly prefer long mermaid hair, but I can't stand the disconnect/gap/dropoff with the current styles. It reminds me too much of the bi-level/mullet cuts of the 80's.Your hair looks SO much thicker and better with your new haircut! I can't wait to see the different ways you will be styling it. I have pretty much the same length and same problems with my fine straight hair. It's so fine it mats underneath. I usually can't stand layers or even texturizing because it just looks and feels like hair is missing. Most stylists just don't seem to get it like you do, so I really appreciate your videos. I like a nice thick perimeter like you have. My right side is always shorter, thinner, and scragglier, no matter how it's cut or styled. It's more noticeable in photos than in person. Some parts clump or snarl and refuse to curl while the rest is mess of constantly tickly flyaway hairs. I usually don't even sleep on the right side. I try to baby it more than the left side but it doesn't help much. Even stylists can't figure it out when they cut it and insist they've checked the length, then see it still looking shorter in the mirror. 😂

I always cut my own hair, it gets easier. I usually give myself a long pixie cut. My hair is almost the same length as yours except I side shaved the sides, now I'm growing my hair out to get it longer. Beautifully done :)

[@whatsamacallit3833]

I'm letting a pixie grow out. It's agonizing! I've had my hubby cut just the very bottom back of my head so the other length will catch up. It's hysterical watching the agony on his face. He's so scared but is a trooper and it's actually suitable for now. Reason I don't go to pro is they always cut too much! This way I can just do enough to allow the length to grow.

OMG Summer! 😍 Your long hair looked lovely, but this shorter style looks AMAZING! It’s incredible to think it’s the same hair in both before & after pics! 😲 I love the bouncy, fresh look of this on you 🥰 Thank you for such a well explained tutorials for us mere mortals who aren’t hair stylists can understand 👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽 You don’t know how long I’ve searched for a tutorial like this! I know you collaborated with Glam Girl Gabi a while back, and I was wondering if this cut would be a similar look to the blunt/no layer cut she has shown her hair stylist doing with her hair to make it look thicker? Or if there’s any major differences, would you be able to roughly explain them? Sorry to be a pain in the butt 🤦🏼‍♀️ I just love the way you explain things! 🙏🏽 Sending love from Australia 🇦🇺 ❤

[@kathygould6363]

Summer my hair is super thin and super fine I always get a one length bob

[@lee9604]

You look great in that length! Thanks for doing this. I need to fix the front of my hair, maybe I can copy what you did. I have a bob and want the front to be layered more to comb back and fall nicely. Does this make sense? What is that called? I had the owner cut my hair and I spent A LOT and still feel like it needs help. I'm not comfortable going back and asking her. That's silly, I know. As a stylist, what do you think? Should I look for someone else?

[@claralink1]

I did it with my hair and I love it 🥰 thank you 😊

[@lindaalden2867]

Love your hair long, I have the same style but my hair is thicker, I can't believe you have cut it, didn't you wear extensions to make it longer early in the year.

Hi there. I have a question about colored hair. I have auburn dyed hair and was wondering your thoughts on Sulfate free shampoo…. Do you recommend sulfate free for dyed hair? I am interested in your recommendation of loreal pro longer but don’t know if it is color safe? Hope this makes sense😀

[@MummyLabz]

Should you part your hair the way your normally style it before cutting or should you part it in the middle and then start cutting? 🤔

[@StylesBySummer]

If you flip flop your part, one should cut it down the middle. If you know you always wear it to one side, cut to the part you wear.

[@MummyLabz]

@@StylesBySummer thank you!!

[@LindseyLeighAR]

EXCELLENT Question!! I’ve always wondered that, too. It makes me super uncomfortable when a stylist doesn’t cater to my part or doesn’t even know where it is. I want to get up and run!!! I reeeally want to cut my own hair and that’s one of the basic questions I have. I’m a “big tucker” too lol, so I always made sure to specify that the front layers MUST be long enough to tuck or I’ll hate it. My amazing hair stylist moved 25 minutes away and I just can’t seem to drag myself there… I’m even more scared to try someone new, so I want to take a stab at it myself. THANK YOU for the tutorial/tips. This is the first hair cutting video I watched in it’s entirety (and I’ve tried a lot!! I have an entire playlist dedicated to potentially helpful videos)

Do the front layers and back layers ‘have’ to be connected?

[@BipolarCourage]

I've been trimming my own hair for over 6 months. I am not quite sure about what to do about the inside part that is just in front/above the ear. Currently, it's 'length' not layered, and tends to come forward. Is that part supposed to be layered with face-framing?

[@Spiritual_LiaLune]

U look younger with shorter hair ❤

[@sandramysliwiec5648]

Summer it looks amazing. I’ve cut my hair so many times without really knowing any techniques. I’ll be honest, not sure I could do my layers like you did. I’d really have to this start and stop this video 😅. I have a really good pair of shears, but no thinning as I have fine hair to begin with. Is it possible to just point cut when wanting some texture and not necessarily thinning? I’ve had hairdressers use thinning shears on me and they really thinned my hair. I never get mad as I know it will grow out, but I do let my hairdresser know I’m not fond of them. Think I’m not quite understanding the difference? Anyway, thank you for a super video. You look FABULOUS!!!! I thank Gabi Girl mentioning you if interested in hair cuts. 😁😁✂️💇🏼‍♀️🩷
