Alexxxxx!! I'd love to see you try out the curly girl method! I'd love to see your natural curls pop out, I think it'll completely change how your hair feels, it won't feel as damaged or frizzy, even if you can't get curls from it, it might help improve the health a little!

[@MrsYukke]

Yes please! 🥳

[@lalacustard]

Yes!!!!!!!

[@meaganclarke4007]

Totally agree!!!

[@cherrybomb965]

LOVE this idea

[@Hryule]

Yessss I second this! My hair is pin straight (but bleached and very damaged) and since I started doing a modified version of the curly girl method my hair has been thriving! Products for curly hair are SO hydrating and overall amazing for the hair.

[@lucinda2329]

When you cut the angled bang pieces it became too short because you didnt divide the bangs down the center again evenly. By not working each half separately, you pulled in hair from the opposite side which was then clipped too short. That said the short bangs are cute on you!

[@BuinidhMoChridheDoAlba]

She didn't cut parallel to the Patrington either. The fringe suits her though

[@wendycorson9710]

Yes I agree. They look cute on her

[@badenixe8669]

And it's way to much hair 😅🙈

[@meinkanta]

Her triangle was also a lot wider than his. He said finish above the brow, she finished at the other end of her forehead 😂

[@bebe44144]

Alex!!! When brushing you hair, brush it from the tips of your hair and work your way up. doing this helps prevent damage from brushing out the knots in your hair. When you start from the top of your hair you're pushing down all the knots and tangles to the ends and they all accumulate there making it harder to brush out. This then causes you to rip and damage your hair when trying to brush them out. By starting at the bottom of your hair it prevents that from happening and is more gentle. I noticed you started from the top when you were brushing your hair out here 15:31 and with wet hair its even more important to do this because the hair is most fragile and prone to breakage when its wet. I hope this helps!

[@sydneyfloth857]

why did I never know this?! You have changed my life!!! Thank you!

[@PSujka88Azi]

Yes! But also brushing with a conditioner or a mask on should be fine because the hair are more 'slippery' and it helps spreading the product evenly. Also I don't that brush exactly but the tangle tezzer brushes can cause damage to the ends of the hair especially if you have fragile hair so I don't recommend those. I had TT before my ends were becoming more and more split :/ later I have learned that it was not only my experience and I said goodbye to it.

[@bebe44144]

@@PSujka88Azi oh okay, I have no idea about tangle teasers cause I have never used those I just use a wet brush. Personally tho, even with a mask or conditioner I still start from tips when brushing my hair, just as an extra precaution for me. It’s also just become habit for me to brush it like that as well.

[@PSujka88Azi]

@@bebe44144 that I agree with 100%. I also brush them from the ends :D

[@freya.v.d.a.]

Also don’t sleep with wet hair ever. Super important !

[@main5869]

A short red pixie would be so romantic on you! ❤️ You’ve got such a beautifully framed face, a lovely heart shaped hairline, a super feminine jaw and neckline- I could go on forever but a super short cut would compliment you wonderfully. Whatever you choose, it has my vote!

[@brittanypaugh8230]

Hairstylist here! You did amazing except you missed one crucial part that he didn’t mention in his clip. Once you do your triangle section, split it down the middle and clip one side up! This helps to not accidentally grab hair from the other side. Then cut one side parallel to the parting then clip it up and do the other side! I know you can do it! Love the red ❤️

[@beckawilk]

Yes, this tutorial is amapzing and I always cut my bangs with this method but I need to clip up the cut bangs too. You look awesome no matter your style.

[@Foirelle]

Agreed! It made the hair longer in the middle as a result. One thing I noticed is that she also missed *where* Brad grabbed the triangle section. He said not past the edge of the eyebrows, meaning not past the upper temples. Alex grabbed hair all the way to her ears, which resulted in a *wide* boxy fringe (not what she wanted from what I can tell). I know hair terminology and the like is difficult to understand, especially condensed in a Tiktok video. I wish she took more time to look at the sectioning part because it's like you said, the most crucial and effects the results as much as the cuts made. I'm glad Alex is getting to experiment with her hair though, best to get it out while you have length left so it can all be cut off proper after! I personally couldn't do it, scalp issues + head being small = disaster waiting to happen. I do love my natural hair and curls too so that helps. My hair experimentation shall live on in Alex's videos/life instead lol. Looking forward to what's next!

[@BryannaGordin99]

I noticed this was a tiktok video, so I think she missed some crucial steps as his KZbin videos are far more in detail

[@lunaredelvour2972]

Watching you cut the whole section of bangs off to the side instead of just the one side hurt, as someone who regularly cuts her own fringe😂😭🍀🙏

[@sandylee9564]

No one can fault you for trying. It looks like you are really enjoying life. I have to say that I am going to predict that one day you will cut all your hair off because you have mentioned going bald in almost every video and I dont think you will be happy until you do. Go For It! you can pull it off.

[@kalirock1809]

Be careful with what you do to your hair before the appointment like give it a good few weeks of a break before you go or the hair stylist won't be able to do much. Especially dye wise.

[@kalirock1809]

I made a comment when I hear you say "I don't know anything about hair science" or something like that. Now that I finished the vid I'm glad you are aware of at least a little bit about hair🤣❤

[@KlaydoTheStormMage]

You freaking killed me when you sent Brad the thank you. I think the bangs you ended up with do suit you even though it isn't what you were going for at all.

[@martinsdontjump]

Alex parting her hair and already doing it wrong. Face palm 😂 you're my favourite trainwreck 💥🚂

[@DestroyAllWarnings]

Yeeees, do a micro pixie!!! Your bone structure would absolutely POP. I ended up going from a dry, fried mane to a micro pixie to start fresh a few years back and it was honestly the best decision.

[@naomistein6621]

I actually like the way your hair looks at the end of the video. The color seems nice too. Also, I checked out Sam's etsy and It's amazing! Might get the flower necklace when it's on there!

[@shadowkat0808]

To keep your hair as healthy as possible. Once you have it cut by the professional... get a silk pillow case- this allows your hair to slip across your pillow case while you sleep without so much resistance and friction lessening frizz and split ends. Use only micro fiber hair towels on your hair when it is wet they are much gentler on your hair than regular towels.. do not brush your hair when wet. If you must do something with it while wet- A wide tooth comb or wet brush will do much less damage. also use a tangle teezer/ tangle tamer on dry hair instead of a regular brush. Always brush your hair from the ends up to the roots, working your way up allows the tangles to loosen instead of yanking the tangle down the hair shaft and causing stretching/breaking. And finally, really good shampoo and conditioner without sulfates and drying alcohols, and regular masking. Hope this helps!

[@rozharris6834]

How do you get your hair to dry with a microfibre towel, and how do you not get super sweaty from the silk pillow case?

[@PSujka88Azi]

@@rozharris6834 you don't get your hair dry with microfibre towel. Towel is only supposed absorb excess water from your hair not dry it.

[@celadonangel7985]

before I even watch the whole video just know that your videos bring m so much peace and happiness! I love watching what you do to your hair even if it makes other people annoyed, I sat my boyfriend down to watch one of your videos with Caitlin with me earlier because I've been watching you for years and you're one of my favourite youtubers and the first thing he said was how cool your hair was! Thank you for all the content you make for us ♥

[@lauski317]

omg i laughed so much when you let go of the bangs!! i could see it being too short right from when you sectioned the pieces but omg alex you suit short bangs so much!!! it literally looks so perfect on you 🥺

Can we add a few words for Sam here! That necklace is stunning! He's really mastered his craft!

[@thegreybunnygirl2445]

[@Lauras_Laurel]

I have a slight styling tip! I wanted to grown my bangs out and I styled them as curtain bangs whilst they grew and obviously they're too short to style the way Brad suggests but if you split your bangs in the centre and use a round brush (start with the brush on top of the bangs not underneath) and curl and dry away from the face (to the side) they mimic that curtain bang style! Hope that makes sense 😅

[@user-xr1uv1jk5e]

The pixy cut could be styled to be either cute or badass and would look amazing on you!

[@janeleeder8614]

[@skyla7985]

I love "chaotic and making the most of life Alex" and I will never tell her what she can and can't do with her hair. HOWEVER. Once you get it cut and want to start taking care of it again while it grows out, listening to some of these comments could be super helpful! Personally, I have fairly curly hair and always had insane damage because I didn't know how to take care of it. I know everyone has posted it all before, but the best and simple changes that are good for any and all hair: - Minimise heat usage, and use a heat protectant spray if you do need to use heat - Don't rub hair in towel, pat/dab/scrunch it instead (you're already all over this one! Woo!) - If you can, don't use a towel at all. Using a 100% cotton t-shirt will actually reduce frizz a lot better! - Try not to wrap your longer hair in the "hair turban" as it results in pulling/tugging hair at the roots - Brush slowly from the ends of your hair and move upwards incrementally (honestly a bloody life changer for me) - Use a wide toothed comb, particularly if you are brushing your hair while wet - If you hair gets super frizzy overnight, sleeping on a satin pillowcase or wearing a satin bonnet can do wonders! Cannot wait to see all these amazingly fun changes each Friday and so excited to see what the hairdresser does come Christmas!

[@katelynelms3062]

I actually love the straight bangs! Super cute!!

[@AYWTMO]

Alex! Lol something that will also help with lessening shedding is to comb or brush your ends first and work your way up! Also to help hydrated your hair use more moisturizer on your ends rather than your roots bc your roots are fresh but your ends will always be the most damaged bc they are older!! Hope this helps

[@KZesty]

These are so fun to watch. You gotta live your life and change it up when you want! Also your skin looks amazing with that skincare you did, wow!

[@coffee_and_crumpets]

Yes come to the pixie party Alex! I think you would look amazing! I thought I'd never go that short and now I don't think I will ever grow it out. There are so many different kind of pixie cuts too so lots to choose from and when you feel like going a bit longer or longer there are always the fun of wigging it up. I think you would look so cool with a modern updated audrey hepburn pixie cut.

[@utsux3]

Omg for real!! I always had short hair growing up but I went full pixie when I was 17 and couldn't bear to grow it out for YEARS. I just went 4 years without cutting it to see if I could, my hair was majestic, but I was soooo over it so I just went side-buzz bob a few weeks ago and I'm ready to go full pixie again already 😂

[@jminsh463]

Living my hair adventures through you! But after all this time it stresses me out that you don't have proper hair dressing scissors, I got some cheap ones at the start of lockdown thinking I'd use them maybe twice. Used them at least 20 times now! It makes the whole hair cutting experience a million times easier. Can't wait to see what happens on 24th.

Totally cut your hair into a pixie Alex! I went through the same phase as you where I would keep recoloring my hair till I decided nothing was going to make me happy until I cut it. Safe to say it’s the best decision I’ve ever made. It’s so easy to style and makes me feel unique! I’m actually rocking a super short mullet so you don’t have to go for the traditional pixie either :))

Just a small hair tip, if you are interested. If you are going to comb or brush anything through your wet hair, start at the ends, and then work your way up to the scalp. That will help eliminate so many strands from breaking off. You are beautiful, as always! ❤️

[@baranamtara]

You inspired me to try my dyeing dreams... xD Well, first had pink hair ends, now I am a dark red (because I'm a brunette and didn't want to bleach my hair)... but omg I love it so much. It looks soooo good on me. Thank you~~ And yay for red! I am so excited to see the final result tomorrow.

[@riptiderobin1676]

Next time you should follow tutorials of people cutting their own hair. That would probably make it so much easier and less lengthy a process and the cut will come out the way you want. I've been cutting my own hair for years, I also use self-hair-cutting tool Creaclip. I've cut a-line bob, one length bob, shag cut, step cut/feather/layered, baby/curtain/regular bangs on myself.

[@leannem.r.williamson2269]

💗🎉 I love getting the notification that you've uploaded!! ♥️

[@TvTrollByIvy]

YES! Coco&Eve is a great choice! You've been rebuilding the hair a lot with that Kerastase product, which is ok, but it does need nutrients and water more than aminoacids right now, so products like Coco&Eve are great to bring back moisture! Look for products (even cheaper ones from drugstores and supermakets) that contain ceramides, collagen, hyaluronic acid... Look specifically for hydrating products, stuff to put water back into the hair and you should be golden! Application wise: concentrate the product on the lenght and ends, not in the roots. The ends are the part that needs the most and the roots dont deal very well with heavy textured products, so avoid getting product there, unless explicitly indicated on the instructions.
