How I cut these bouncy 90's style layers into my own hair:
1- Starting at the very top of the hairline, cut the first section to the desired length.
2- Gradually introduce more hair section by section and use the length of the previous section as a guide while cutting in a downwards motion for a seamless gradual effect.
3- Repeat this on both sides
4- Once the hair is dry, remove weight to shatter any harsh lines

Guyss I tried it. I have layered haircut and ı wanted to trim it then ı saw this video. I did it with a good scissors cause if you use bad one you will make it horrible. İt looks amazing on me . But if you don't trust yourself, don't try it. Thanks a lot for this tutorial.

[@Dalissay]

Omg you have the same name as my daughter I love it. I will try this tutorial as well

[@dahlia6336]

😂😂 best comment ever

[@sarrehman]

Just did this and tbh this is the best haircut I’ve ever had, I’ve never been this satisfied when professional hairdressers cut my hair 😭 such a good idea to cut our own hair cause only WE know exactly what we want for ourselves and for our hair! This way you can really customize it to your liking! So happy I saw this video and if you follow it exactly you’ll get everything perfect! Also I didn’t twist the comb I felt it turned out weird when I did that, I cut from bottom to top on the hard side and tbh it still turned out really nice 😅

[@oui1864]

I wanna do it but I'm so scared, I'm afraid i might ruin my hair

[@BananaTPie]

How does it look in a ponytail?? I want to do this, but whatever cut I have now the top back part is longer than most of the hair in my pony and it looks awful

[@sarrehman]

@@oui1864you should do it 😝 ever since I did it I feel I can’t justify spending sooo much on a trim now…. Because I know I can do it at home and customize to what I like! (Only trimming a little bit - I feel like all the hairdressers trim more than what I want and I have past trauma about trusting new hairdressers Hahhaa) BUTTT if you’re going to do it MAKE SURE to buy “barbers shears” / proper hair cutting scissors…. I made the mistake of not using hair scissors… I used random scissors…. And it actually caused the ends of my hair to look so damaged :( so please be careful and buy barbers scissors… the haircut is perfect but the ends of my hair are damaged.. I will still do this haircut again but with better scissors this time. I read on google that using random / regular scissors causes damage to the strand :( and eventually breakage / thinning of the ends and that’s what happened 😭 this time I’ll try with good scissors and I’ll update after a few weeks 😝

[@sarrehman]

@@BananaTPieI think it looks normal in a pony tail!! But I don’t wear my hair in a high pony tail since my hair is not that long, I only wear it in a low pony tail. But I put it in a high pony tail to see what it looks like I think it looked normal to me hahah Maybe you can try it and just try to trim very little for your first try 😛 and then next time you can make the framing layers more dramatic when you’re more comfortable Also like I said in my other comment make sure to use proper hair cutting scissors !!! Otherwise you might end up with damaged ends like I did 😭 I used random scissors The haircut is still great tho it’s my fault I used the wrong scissors 😢

[@Fatima.ameen3]

Genuinely curious have you tried the ponytail cut? By Brad mondo type 2 ponytails

[@jasminesingh1863]

I did this after I let my hair grow out from a not so great hair tutorial cough cough butterfly hair, and omg I love how gorgeous my hair looks it flows in all the right directions and look effortlessly beautiful on wavy hair !

[@ajroberts4288]

Rachel, you did a wonderful job on this video. If you felt out of sorts, self conscious or awkward at all you shouldn't. Please keep on keepin on and keep em coming girlfriend!

[@queenmarissa]

I cut my hair the way you've shown me here and I was able to incorporate my growing out bangs and girl... My hair is insane is insane right now. I already use salon products that are my soul mate shampoo and conditioner etc. I've done a lot of research over the years. Not a hairdresser. But holy good lawhd. This is the best haircut I have EVER HAD. not even the hairdresser gets it like this!!! Thank you thank you thank you. You angel! I'm in my mid 30s and look 20 lol and this haircut is just so flattering for me. So I'm super grateful ❤️❤️❤️❤️

[@oui1864]

Hi i wanna do this haircut today but I'm so scared, is it gonna look good, if i air dried it, cz i don't have any rollers or anything at the moment

[@liisette]

I did this tonight on a whim and the results are amazing!! I wasn’t extremely precise since it’s just a timely trim so I’d say it’s pretty foolproof. I went off on how my hair felt between my fingers and how it bounced up after each cut, video was super easy to follow!!

[@user-ly4ci9nz2o]

So beautiful!! You explained it perfectly!!!💗

[@passionfruits107]

Thank you so much for taking the time to explain everything - I got my hair cut yesterday and it just didn’t have much shape so I’m going to try this out!

[@lowseason]

Girl, you’re a genius!!

[@meowmeow1stgen668]

I haven’t seen this video before, but I gave myself this exact haircut the other day because my hairdresser from the 90s used to give me the style of haircut all the time :-) and I have super curly hair and this works really really well :-) I love that you’re giving a tutorial on this because now I can make it super perfect

[@marytan7511]

Thank You Rachel for this tutorial. The tips you gave me are fantastic & happy to work on. I've got really long straight hair & always find it difficult to work on the back as I can't get them balanced with an U. Always ended up longer in the mid section. Glad you pointed that out. ❤❤❤

[@manonj7990]

This is excellent! I’ve been cutting my own hair since COVID started and this is definitely my new haircut! Gonna try it this week since I’m due for a trim!

[@katisfaa]

I did this cut around a month ago, it turned out so good!! Then I got my hair done (bleached), and now I’m here again aiming to do this cut🕺🏻 that you for the tut

[@molovely2775]

Thanks to you and your easy to follow video, I found the courage to cut my waist length hair for the first time in my life and it came out AMAZING!!! THANK YOU!

[@aleefa6346]

Hi! I'm not sure if you're going to see this but I'm really intrigued by the technique you used to make the back more rounded. Can you please make a detailed video on how you gave the back of your hair a rounded shape? Much love!

[@kandiblick3822]

[@dianemcarthur1523]

It looks amazing,Very easy to see how to do your own hair!

[@b_dai6256]

Ok when I tell you this is the most, “Trust the process” kind of deal. I’ve been trying to do most hair related things at home, and I followed most of the steps 😅. I feel like once you start, you sort of listen to how your hair moves. I had to def improvise since my curtain bangs were much shorter than hers. Please consider how short your bangs area is before starting (; Listen I’m not going to tell you it came out amazing but it’s pretty good considering I have never cut my hair. This lady knows what she is talking about. Thanks for the tutorial 🧡🧡🧡

[@casualviewer3662]

I just did this, it turned out amazing. It gave my hair like a long shag and I love it. Tip: if your hair dries make sure to wet it down again. I thought my hair was uneven but it was just flipping weird from drying.

They dont understand what i want any time. İ want this but i find a shit every time. Thanks for this tutorial i will always do like that. ❤

[@TheGabygael]

Eeeh, if you have fine hair, have a back-up plan, i used this technique to even out my face framing layers and had to go do my own thing around the ear and the back of the hair ended up doing wierd things so i ended up cutting the length using the beard self trim method put in some sqaure layering and evened out for a while i don't even know if my hemline is straight or u shaped anymore it's official face framing layers are not for me but the blunt cut just above the chest really gives me a lot of mass

Did u cut any layers into the back? What angle should i cut for less layering the back? I followed ur last tutorial a few weeks ago and rly liked it but need another trim b/c i neglected my hair for a while

[@njah1590]

Thank you so much I love DIY. The type of hair a hair because it's naturally curly and I bleach it, my top layer often ends up too short because it gets so damaged that it has to be trimmed quite heavily, it is this way at the moment. Wanting to ask your advice what you would do? Should I take some of the length and till it goes down or should I just let the whole lot go? Also, do you have any tips to help protect this top layer? Thank you so much for your videos 🙏

What shears do you use? 😊

[@CharmiJade-xt6uw]

I just wanted to ask. Does this step come before or after layering

[@Starymoon.87]

Sorry if this is a dumb question, but by doing this cut, do you have layers just on the front and sides or also on the back of your head? Because in the end of the video I got confused if what I was seeing was layers on the back or if the layers formed because you flipped the front hair to the back.
