Pro Hairdresser shows: How to layer your hair at home

[@TheMostComfortableHeels]

I cut my hair like this and I never had so many compliments. Even a person came up to me asking if they could take a picture of my hair and show it to their hairdresser. Well done

[@mia.caputo31]

Same thing happened to me except with my curtain bangs , they were like “oh my god your curtain bangs they are stunning “and I told her I just use 3 products which is a 1. blow dryer on bangs. 2. Use a Velcro hair roller you can get one from ultra . 3. Hairspray it. And then in like a hour take it out.

I just cut my hair following your video and it’s the cut I ALWAYS wanted and no hairstylist, not even way expensive ones, could ! Thank you!

[@hilu1023]

This is much better, than those "ruin your hair in 2 minutes with this ponytail trick". Have tried those quick cuts, and the after math is awful. Your video was not like that at all. You explained everything well, and the outcome is sweet and well blended. Thank you ❤

[@JustN7]

I just did this cut on my own hair. My last two salon trips honestly made me cry and gave up cutting or trimming my hair. Finally I am so happy with how good this cut turned out. If you are trying it for the first time like me, few tips: 1. Watch the video like 100 times. Not just this one, she has two more videos explaining in detail how to length cut and then how to do the face framing. Please watch all of them. 2. Start with length cut to level your hair first before going in on with layers 3. If you have fine hair, go for bigger sections, don’t take too many thin sections. 4. Be mindful of all the little tips she gives, those are honestly useful. I have medium length hair. I went for very short layers. And very little face framing almost at the bottom of my hair length. It turned out just exactly how i wanted it to look. Thank you Rachel😍😍😍😍😍😍

[@Blue-vy7qe]

the scissor holding technique is game changing 😍😍😍

It really is so much easier!

I just cut my hair like this and I cannot believe how good it looks. I didn’t do any layers in the front, but cannot believe how great it looks! Don’t need to go to a salon anymore lol. Thank you girl!!!!🫶🏼

[@venenumletalis]

I've been cutting my hair at home for years, and I have to say, this is THE BEST at home haircut tutorial/routine. Along with your blowout tutorial it makes my hair look amazing, like I have stepped out of an expensive salon. But even when I don't do a blowout, the haircut still looks pretty good. Thank you!

[@studybootcamp1]

I just cut my hair watching this and then canceled next week appointment with hairdresser. Thank you for saving me 70€. 🙏🏻

[@rayneofstars22]

I know you posted this a year ago, but I just wanted to say thank you so much! You explained this and showed all the steps in a way that work well with how I process information. Something “clicked” that I struggled with in the past, doing similar haircuts. My hair was in desperate need of reshaping, I have very curly hair & this type of cut looks amazing with curls/layers. You’re awesome for taking the time to share this and help others. ❤

[@bun__]

It turned out great! I took a lot of notes and practiced the muscle movement before cutting and it helped a lot💓

[@accountfortruthfulreviews677]

I waited to thank you, I did hair cut and messed up the front a little bit because I have very thin and fine hair, my front was a lot shorter than back my fault but it still came out nice, my hair normally always looks thin, because I used to cut it straight and all together with no layers to make it look thick, but it did the opposite, after doing this hair cut my hair looks amazing, air dried or done, looks amazing and full, very lively, thank you so much, I have curly hair and I have never had a better haircut than this, keep going I really really appreciate it and made my self-esteem better than before.

[@iheartsinging1989]

Stumbled upon your video a few days ago and decided to finally do my hair yesterday. It was so dry and lifeless and my curls were not curling anymore. It had been a few years since I’ve had my hair done, it was in extreme need. My hair turned out amazing, I don’t think I’ve ever seen my curls with this much volume and the shape is perfect. Thank you so much for sharing, I know this is an older video but it’s saved me so much money and I am so happy with the outcome!! I’ll definitely be doing my own hair from more on x

[@safae4969]

Girl you’re so talented 🫶🏻

Thank you!!! X

[@Horseluvver]

U just helped me SO MUCH...was able to fix what I did trying to follow a different tutorial...the extra details about cutting back- direction, tension- excellent & TY.

[@animeqawaii]

I cut my hair like this and the bangs video you have. It turned out really pretty because I followed your tips on fine hair, I always used to have the problem that you mentioned, I used to cut too much hair and it looked really weird. Now it looks really pretty. And I cut my mom's hair the other day, this time I followed all of your steps because her hair it's thick and omg it turned out beautiful. Thank you very much for your video.

[@applesaft]

Do you only cut the first step the 90° layers on your thin hair?

[@hhhhhhh-rr6nf]

@@applesaftyes this is what I’m confused about too

[@emarjhay]

Probably the best haircut I’ve given myself and the one I’ve been really satisfied with. It didn’t turn out perfect cus I didn’t realize I was not flexible lol so my angles were a bit off but it still turned out well! I’ve been cutting my own hair for the last couple years and most of them have been ones where I just tie my hair in certain ponytails and hope for the best so I’m very happy about this outcome. I started from scratch too so I watched all three videos to trim, layer, and frame my hair around my face and now I’m obsessed! Thank you for the very detailed tutorials! ❤️

[@Azs492]

[@mush.room_112]

I followed this tutorial and the front layering one, and I am absolutely in love with my new haircut! It doesn't look the same as it does on you, but I don't really care. Everyone's hair falls differently. Anyway, thank you and keep up the good work! ❤❤✨💇‍♀👍✨

Please show us the technique on how did you blow dry your hair. It has a lot of volume and you are so pretty. Please make another video for that.

[@swan_sia]

This is a great tutorial, but my haircut didn’t turned out as her did. I hate it now. Obviously, i made a mistake at some point. Also my hair is not as long as her. Although i see a huge amount of positive comments & people whose haircuts went well, I would better recommend you to go to a nice hairdresser. Btw the girl in the video is the hairdresser herself, no wonder it turned out so good. So you can try it at your own risk & I wish you good luck. But I definitely need to fix my hair now.

[@LisyCO]

Thank you so much for the details in this video. This is exactly how I like to cut my hair but could never seem to get it just right😊

[@itsymeg7008]

I am absolutely in LOVE with this hair style. You've convinced me to put effort in how my hair looks. My question tho, is this possible for finely densed hair?

[@minivan1680]

Yes, this style gives the illusion of thick hair because of the major volume. So don't worry too much of you have thinner hair, the appearance of visual weight will balance it out.

[@islesofshoals3551]

Too complicated for ME to do on my own, but YOU did a fantastic job

[@flowergirl9794]

This is a great tutorial thank you so much for taking the time to be so specific, really appreciate it. 👋

[@GentleStorm1]

This was very helpful. I’ve been cutting my own hair for years - even before COVID :) - but have gotten lazy, resorting to just trimming the ends. Because I have thick hair like yours, paired with a heap of curls at the top & back and wavier curls throughout, I haven’t found a layering tutorial that really works for my hair; I wasn’t getting as much movement or removing enough weight to let my hair fall loosely around my face/shoulders. This did the trick. Also, FWIW, it was helpful to see you doing it a) yourself and b) in a bathroom. Yes, the lighting could have been better and it would be awesome to have multi-angle camera footage showing exactly what you’re talking about, but the reality is that most viewers will be facing the challenges illustrated in your video. Are the studio videos appealing and engaging? Absolutely. Do they illustrate conditions as accurately as this one? Not necessarily. 😊 … as you develop your video skills and resources, it would be helpful to add in some zoom shots (ex showing the guide locks vs the to-be-cut section, etc), but I really appreciate the authentic environment. I could also relate to your authentic disappointment when you thought the first 3/4 of your video had been lost! 😣 I’m glad it wasn’t! *I don’t think I’ve ever written such a long comment on YT! 😄

[@littlebeebs1]

Your hair is so amazing that you could do anything to it and it would still look amazing 🤩

[@Danelle475]

[@picklechip5462]

Thank you so much! I have been waiting for this video! I watched the one cutting the front layers and I have been eager to cut the back and almost followed a different tutorial but I told myself just wait and be patient because I knew if I ended up doing a different tutorial than yours would probably post the following day and I would have regretted it. There are many ways to do layers for different effects and I looked all over KZbin and haven’t found any layering that I specifically like except yours so once I watch this about five times than I will attempt it myself. Thanks again

For finer hair I’d recommend just getting surface layers, so you see how I cut each section 3 times pulling the hair out at different angles: ⬆️,↖️and ⬅️?That removes a lot of hair and will make your ends look drastically thinner If you just stick to the first angle ⬆️that will give you a much finer surface layers and keep the thickness at the ends, did that make any sense?😂
