[@isjustisus1430]

Natural teacher. The best teacher of a haircut I have ever seen. I worked in afew different salons when I was younger and good teachers in this industry are very few and far between. It's almost like the majority are trying to make it look more complicated than it is. Thankyou so much. Never forget a good teacher. Wonderful 💋 lady 💕

[@MsAabbo]

I followed your tutorial step by step and it turned out fantastic!!! I have just the right length layers and I finally achieved the face-framing layers I was lacking and never quite achieved at the salon. This was so easy to follow and it is seriously the best cut I’ve ever had-and I did it my self!!!❤. Thank you!!!!!!

[@2raw2war2]

Thank you❣️ 💯🥂 I have been try to tell stylists this is the cut I want for years now since I had it done once long ago and it was the best ever. I say long layers and no hole on my left side. No one has ever gotten it quite right. I appreciate this tutorial and am glad I’ve put off the cut until now.

[@nolasfamily3913]

You nailed the 90s vibe with an easy DIY layered cut, SUPERMODEL!

Yet still modern and fresh, not ol' fashion stale. Love the details given for a great home cut ✂️

Beautiful! So kind of you to share the techniques for doing it yourself.

[@GlamGirlGabi]

Thanks for watching Becky and for taking the time to leave me such nice feedback. :)

[@ColleenJoudrey]

This was so much more helpful than other tutorials I have seen. I impulsively gave myself a wolf cut in August and it worked out well with some tweaks but it's well grown out now and time for a change.

[@GlamGirlGabi]

Hey Colleen! Did you do it with a ponytail technique? I have seen tons of wolf cuts done that way recently. Thanks for watching and for taking the time to leave a comment!

[@ColleenJoudrey]

@@GlamGirlGabi Yes. I used ponytails for both the back and front sections before I overextended the front to soften the front peices and then thinned out the thicker spots with thinning sheers. My hair is ultra thick and wavy so it took a little while to do.

[@TurkseTulp]

Great turorial! For years I've been cutting my own hair exactly like this method. If you master this method there is really no need to ever go to a hairdresser again.

[@GlamGirlGabi]

You can really give yourself an amazing haircut if you go step by step. It’s very true.

[@bellarose8511]

Love your hair color! Would love if you’d share the formula for base & hilights! 🌺

[@MissLauraSquared]

Oh my gosh, thank you so much for this! For the last several years I’ve wanted my hairdressers to cut my hair like this and none of them ever would because it was “never in style.” I used to see a hairdresser for many years and he always would cut my hair in this style and it always looked amazing. He retired about 9 years ago, so I’ve gone that long without being able to have this cut. Going to try doing this myself now since no one ever will for me! Thank you! (Also, as a side note, I started cutting my husband’s hair at the beginning of the pandemic and I finally feel I’ve got some skills to the point that I’m confident enough trying to cut my own. Hopefully, it goes well! 🤞🏻)

[@mohammadaboohosseinitabari4454]

The result was perfection. You look amazing with that haircut. Plus, your lip color was awesome!

[@GlamGirlGabi]

Thank you so much 🙂 I just bought this lip color! I almost never wear such a nude lip but I am really loving it.

[@esmeraldagems9487]

The ponytail layer cut actually worked really well for me. So does work for some. I've always had waist length long super thick hair (never cut or layered till my late 20's) i actually liked the diy layered look and got a bunch of compliments. The only thing about it really was that it was difficult to do braids, esp french braid on my hair. But it worked for my face shape and everything.

[@cattastroficka196]

Excellent video. I’ve been cutting my own hair since I was about 18 (59 now). I got tired of hairstylists always cutting too much off. I have fine hair. I also colored it myself, blonde. I did go to a stylist years ago for color because I wanted red, brown and blonde streaks. I went to her for years because she only trimmed about 1/4 of an inch each time. She moved out of state in 2010. Devastating! I stopped coloring (LOVE my gray hair!) and since then I’ve had my hair professionally cut about 6 times, otherwise I do it myself. This video helped me with the front area. Going to try that pulling to one side. I have bangs and want the curve from the bang down to the sides, like in a ‘C’ shape. Thanks for the tutorial. It helps a lot.

[@GlamGirlGabi]

Thank you for watching and for taking the time to comment! I am really happy that I was able to help you (especially with the front sections!) The key is to always go slow and cut off less then you think. You can always slowly add more later.

[@sherriberger6677]

Gabi, you are an inspiration and all your videos have been so helpful. I have not been happy with haircuts lately from my stylists so I have been using your video tutorials and have now cut my own hair and am loving the styles I'm achieving on my own. Thank you so much. You are so darling and fun to watch as well as being a brilliant stylists with great ideas. I don't know why there are not more hair stylists who know what you know in styling hair and I loved watching your hairstylist cut your hair and was so happy to hear your views of starting from the front instead of the back which I've always suggested to my stylists and they always refuse. Now I'm going to insist. thank you so much for all your wonderful videos.

Thank you so much for this tutorial! I’ve been cutting my own hair for years and this is the first I’ve seen for low density hair. My hair has thinned out so much over the last few years and it’s great to finally have one out there for that! I’ve tried just about every diy haircut on KZbin and none of them really turned out how I would’ve liked them to. Would this also translate well for wavy/curly textures?

[@monak2069]

This was incredibly helpful! Thank you! I've been cutting my own hair for years and I didn't know about the angling of you fingers. Which makes complete sense. I've just brought my hair straight up, let a bit fall in the back and cut the rest straight across. I was about 12 when I learned how to cut my own hair. My brother's girlfriend at the time cut his hair and his friends hair. I watched and figured it out. But, I didn't notice the angling of the fingers. Now I understand how to change the depth of my layers. I am definitely giving this a try for my next cut. I think I'll try the angle up for a shag. I'm really looking forward to my next cut now. 😁💖🌺

[@monak2069]

So... if I pull it more towards nt face when I pull it up, that should give me longer layers? I pretty much already have built in long layers from the vid and losing my hair 3xs. It has finally gotten back to the thickness I am used to. However, that is only abot 4 or 5 inches from the scalp. It get thinner as it goes towards the ends. So I'm thinking to get it to look and feel healthier, some long layers may do the trick.

[@dandeliondreamer3365]

Great tutorial! If only I could do that to myself, my hair is long, thin and fine and I’m terrified of most hairstylists, I’ve tried so many…I usually look worse after they are done than before they don’t seem to know how to deal with hair as fine as mine once they wet it they can’t find the layers and just cut it straight across like a kid with scissors. Yours is beautiful ❤

[@GlamGirlGabi]

I am so sorry that you had such a tough experience getting your hair cut in the past. Have you ever considered cutting your hair shorter and closer to my length? The shorter and more blunt you cut your hair, the thicker it looks.

[@dandeliondreamer3365]

@@GlamGirlGabi thanks Gabi I think of it but I don’t think I have a pretty/perfect enough face for it, I had short hair for a couple of years like 15 years ago every time I see a pic from then I notice some uneven features, people looked at me so much harder in the face, with long hair people mostly just notice my hair (for better or worse ha ha)

My hair is the same. I don't know what I should do with it. Setting it in curls can damage it over time for work

[@pristidactylus]

Gabi, you look gorgeous ❤The hairstylist I saw a few weeks ago needs some lessons from you. I have fine textured hair and she cut all these short layers (2") over my head. Then she said she had to cut off the back length of my hair to even off what she had done. The only long section left was my bangs and she styled them with a big round brush and it was all puffed out 😬 I am glad I am in Canada and I can pull up my parka hood and hide under it 🤣

Can you give links to pics of 'holes' because I can't imagine a hairdresser deliberately doing that. Or the name of a website with holey pics.

[@silviakhan1073]

During covid out of boredom more than needing the cut I followed the pony tail method. Divide hair in the middle and cut the front towards face. It came out awesome and I have tons of volume with soft waves…then being the perfectionist I am given to details, started trying to even out the tips like how a hairdresser does at the end and messed up an entirely good thing. 😂 but it turned out pretty darn good! I showed to my mom and she wasn’t aware I had experimented. Lol! I think I’ll try it again. To keep, the back is the problem lots of hair and separating hair then evening out things. Maybe I should just clip the very ends and call it a day. Only the dry tip ends.

Nothing like running your fingers through freshly cut hair! I have cut my own hair many times in my life, got better at it with time but made some big mistakes along the way. For example in high school, every other month, I would trim the ends of my long hair by dumping my hair upside down, brush thoroughly and lightly trimmed the ends parallel to the floor. Then I would stand up, brush my hair into place and trim the ends from side to back. It turned out pretty blunt in the front and uneven layers in the back. Not perfect…but I didn’t have split ends! Lol. Thankfully my wavy texture was very forgiving and disguised the mistakes well. Thanks for this tutorial! I am sticking with my hairdresser, Melody. She is such a great listener and so precise!

[@fionah3433]

We used to do the ponytail cut back in the day, but it was a bend over kind of thing, and you could control whether the front was longer or shorter by moving the rubber band back and forth. I called it the "self inflicted shag" as my hair was fairly short. Lately I have done it with my husband's automatic trimmer and it's a lot easier, since my hair is really long now. It works OK in a pinch but I end up with too much distance between the layers for my taste. I am going to watch this a few times and maybe try it. Would love to hear how it works for people!

[@Ziggydoodah]

I do the ponytail cut and if done properly, it works!!

[@debramccormick456]

I’m SO SICK of getting horrible haircuts!!! Haven’t had it cut since April & just wore it up all Summer. Now it’s pretty bad, but it’s curly, so curl often hides a multitude of ills. I really need a cut but am afraid to go anywhere, (will YOU please cut it???) so I took the plunge!! Bought some stylist’s scissors & followed your directions to a tee. We’ll see…my hair is longer than yours & taking off length wasn’t addressed, so it is the same length but the layers are cleaned up. We’ll see what happens when I wash it again and style the curls as usual. Thanks for a GREAT tutorial!!! I’ve never done this, so it took forever just to section off that first front quadrant!😂🤣I know it’s not perfect, but it’s better than it was! Thanks again!!!

Or something like that🙄😁 Anyways, I'm more that happy and forever grateful for this video!!! I'm going to my mum's tomorrow for lunch and I'll ask her to help me.

Perfect timing because I am gearing up to cut layers in my hair for the first time 😁 I really appreciate your tutorial ❤ I had an amazing stylist but he has retired. So detail oriented and did an amazing job. I miss him. I’d like to cut my hair close to how he cut it. I wish I could send you some pictures in case I need to modify the cut to be a little closer to what I used to have. Is that possible? to get your feedback I just had one question. The pie shape in the back rear crown is a pizza slice with the point going down correct?

[@xKitsunax]

How do I do the face framing when I always wear a side part? Because I find that if I cut it in a middle part and then lay and style it in my side part it looks uneven.... Should I just do this technique on the whole head, cutting it while it is in my usual side part?

[@user-or1ye3iz6d]

Thank you. How do you cut the length shorter PRIOR to this layer technique (by yourself)?

[@GlamGirlGabi]

On my hair, it is SUPER hard because it is so short. If you have long hair, you can divide it in half at the back and bring it forward. By over-directing the back hair forward, you will get a V shape in the back where it gets longer in the centre of the back. On hair that doesn't come forward like that, it is super tricky. You would have to watch the blunt haircut video and maybe get a friend or family member to do it for you. The link to that cutting video was in the end cards.

[@mikam8801]

Can you clarify that finger angle on the back layers? Should they be parallel to the head? Backslash or forward slash? Thx.

[@GlamGirlGabi]

They should be angled downwards so that the top layer stays long. So your fingers point on an angle down towards the floor. Does that make sense?

[@mrs.brophy4732]

One clarification if I understand you correctly: If your hand that's holding the hair is conning from the top of the section, you point your fingers down toward the floor, but if you are holding the hair from underneath the section, your fingers are pointed toward the the ceiling. Is that correct?

[@GlamGirlGabi]

@@mrs.brophy4732 I had to position my hands on my head to visualize this but yet. I do believe you are correct. Just remember that the top section of the hair needs to be longer so angle your fingers so that top section is longer and not shorter.

[@mrs.brophy4732]

@@GlamGirlGabi Thanks, Gabi!

[@abunchahooey]

This is a great cut technique, but I get all caught up in the back trying to make sure my finger angles are the same on each section. It’s so hard to remember exactly how angled my fingers were on previous cut. I always make things harder than they need to be. 😂

[@GlamGirlGabi]

I know how you feel. When you don't have the experience of doing it a lot, it can be really confusing. The key is mainly to follow the guide. Take sections that are small enough that you can see the guide through. That is the easiest way to make sure that every section is exactly the same. Practise makes perfect too. You just have to practise and you will get better and better each time.

[@abunchahooey]

@@GlamGirlGabi Good point about the guide. See, I get all caught up in finger angles and forget there is a guide! 😂 Thank you.

[@GlamGirlGabi]

@@abunchahooey Yes I did that too when I was a beginner. Be careful that you have the angle you want when you make your guide and then just use that for everything else. As soon as you have your guide, the rest is easy because it's just dragging that guide around the head (by taking half of it as you move around) and cutting to match that line. If you can't see your guide, it is because your section is too thick. Slow and steady wins the race :)

[@abunchahooey]

@@GlamGirlGabi Useful advice! I watch a lot of hair cutting videos, and nobody has made your point clear to us amateurs. Appreciate your replies. 🙂

[@monstermcboo7282]

I tape a piece of paper in the proper angle on the wall opposite the mirror. I’ve been cutting my own hair for almost twenty years and I’m not a professional by any means. The paper trick I’ve used for years because my astigmatism makes me see really wonky if I look too far into my periphery. 😂 I’ve used a few pieces of colored construction paper for this when I’ve cut my hair super short. My DH has suggested painter’s tape but I’m used to the paper. If you have good eyesight, a Sharpie marker line on a mirror can do the same thing. Rubbing alcohol takes Sharpie right off the glass.

Great tutorial thank you 🙏 I enjoy cutting my hair. I will try this

[@umaimasiddiqui7376]

Can we do this only with front face framing layers Just like 90's layers On thin hair?? And the simple trimming on the back not to cut the length?? Would that gives the thick hair illusion?

[@MushMellow780]

Youd be a really good instructor in a beauty school if you already arent. You explain stuff really good

[@og6920]

If they were really great senior stylists, they were not really that great. I find the majority of hair stylists are not that great. They watch too much social media and think they are worth their crazy prices. They are not.

[@GlamGirlGabi]

Tell me how you really feel… 😂 😂 Just kidding. I feel your pain too.

[@tconcotelli]

Most are lazy…I’ve never had a stylist that attended to details like Gabi.

[@GlamGirlGabi]

@@tconcotelli You mean you have never had a stylist be a neurotic psychopath? LOL. I joke about that with my clients all the time. I practically following them to their car with a comb. I am so detail oriented that sometimes I think I just need to chill the hell out. It can be a blessing and a curse!

[@theselyn]

Hello thank you for your tutorial ! But if you have long hair how can we cut in order to have a soft gradient ? Thank you!

[@kellycook4347]

@@tconcotelli you need to be a big tipper if you are a perfectionist like I am. They always make extra time for you because they know they get paid.

Love it! What product do you use for volume? I’ve had no luck… I find they all make my hair sticky

[@dixitapatel4283]

Thanks for sharing. Loved ur tutorial 💓 I also cut my hair in the same way and what a transformation 👏 👌

[@GlamGirlGabi]

Are you loving it? I’m so happy that you found this tutorial to be helpful. That makes me really happy.

[@deidrabay]

Thank you so much for this tutorial! But, I’m a little confused - in this video, you angle your fingers downward in your first cut at the top of the head so that your top layer is longer than the hair underneath BUT, in your other video of a beautiful woman with thin grey hair (“Women Over 50”) you angle your fingers up to the ceiling. Can you please tell me which angling technique works best to create layers for fine hair? Would appreciate it so much since you’re the best! Thank you so much!!!

[@Lc-Lc-]

Hey Gabi, I've always loved this style and your technique seems simple enough to follow. I just want to know, what are your thoughts on thinning scissors? I'm not sure if that's the technical term or not...🤔 ❤️

[@honeyowen3163]

I'm going to try this, I have 0 shape, long VERY VERY thick wavy hair. QUESTION: Does the first back section go start at the base of the neck?

[@Rosary716]

QUESTION- have you used the Dyson Airwrap?

[@soniasuch8029]

My hair is fine like your . I would probably never cut my own hair so what do I ask for when I go get my haircut ? I too do not like a lot of layers in my hair which most hairstyles like do.

[@angelamoreno5914]

It looks gorgeous!! YOU look gorgeous! Such a great technic, and your step by step guidance seems doable...I think 😬

[@GlamGirlGabi]

Give it a shot and if you get stuck, leave a comment and I can try to help the best that I can! I appreciate you taking the time to leave me some feedback.

[@Lala-pb8xf]

I don’t think I angled my fingers right, and definitely cut the back and the sides of my hair with more layers than it’s supposed to be 😅 (but I wouldn’t mind) And it looks so amazing with my natural wavy hair (even without much styling)! I love it, thank you so much for this tutorial.

[@ExploringCanadaInfo]

What a great video! 💇‍♀️ I predict a million views on this one! ❤

[@amywilkins543]

I Luv your earrings! I want a pair. Where did you get them?

[@marciamellow1211]

My career was hair cutting... Perfect haircut...love❤

[@UESGrl21]

If you have curly hair is it best to do this cut dry (hair straightened)? I have a really hard time cutting face framing on curly hair.

[@cerasselapopa7009]

Great! Thanks! Tell me, please, how did you get over the thinning period and hair loss. What products did you use?

[@lindahoffman2692]

Maybe Gabi will reply to you but meanwhile she did a video on the fact that she got hair transplant so maybe find that video. Also she has one step by step on the very blunt cut her own stylist gives her to maximize fullness which is a great video to show your stylist.
