Hey Gabi, a couple things; Great video And I am a 45y female with a scar where my cowlic was, than spans about a 3 in diameter. Plus fine, curly hair 2c and 3a, length to past the bra line. Usually wear it in an offset braid, to ensure coverage of the scar/hairless area. Been a year and a half since a trim, because I need help with knowing what's best. I am scheduled for a consult to possibly expand the skin and remove the scar(lupus related). Any suggestions?

[@pamjones6926]

Love these cuts! MY problem is very damaged and very bad thinning at the top of my head, caused by a bad dye job gone bad 😱! And, no matter what I do to my sides, which I part to the left, I have barely any top hair left. I have tried parting from left to right , middle, just about everything. Nothing can be done for me now. Soooo embarrassing! Good video, though. 👍🙂🙂

Hi GABI, Iam desperately looking for a great stylist like you. Where is your salon located??

[@angelmoonlighttarot3681]

Can this style work cut a bit longer? I have fine hair but don’t like having short hair.

[@GlamGirlGabi]

@@angelmoonlighttarot3681 yup!! I have my hair cut the same but its a lob (long bob). The shorter the bob, the thicker it looks though.

[@jazz901]

Your detailed description is perfect. I've had thin, fine hair my entire life. I have expressed to my stylist that I don't want any layering, strictly a blunt cut, all one length with a slight angle on the sides and a slight undercut. She absolutely argued up a storm and said, "I don't do that kind of blunt cut" so I answered, "well, I won't be having you cut my hair today." Now I'm hunting for a good hairdresser who, I hope, will watch this video before I let him/her touch my hair. Thank you so much for your video.

[@GlamGirlGabi]

Why wouldn't she do it? That is so bizarre. I almost wonder if her ego got bruised because you suggested something that she may not be as familiar with.

[@jazz901]

​@@GlamGirlGabi First - love, love, love your video. You totally get it about thin, fine hair. Thank you for your reply. So many time I've requested a slight cut angle and want a little shorter in the back like you explained. You are point on. Anyway, my hairdresser said a simple blunt cut is too difficult to get straight. Huh? She also would not highlight the way I asked. You couldn't even tell I had highlights after paying $190!! She said I didn't know what was in and heavy highlighting was out. So...I'm trying to find a new hair stylist and it is difficult in the town I live. I try to be subtle and non offensive, but I know what is best for my thin, fine hair and it is exactly what you've said in your video. Can you say where you studio is; if possible I would fly to you and have you cut my hair. I am desperate for a good hairdresser for thin, fine hair.

[@jazz901]

​@@GlamGirlGabi Oh my Gabi. So it took me another 6 months to find a new hairdresser. By this time my hair had grown so it would be easy to do a blunt bob. I explained how I wanted it cut; she commented that she had been cutting hair for 20 years and she would do a good job. She also highlighted my hair. I wanted golden blond highlights; no ash. What did I get? Ash. So... the cut. I even asked if she wanted to see the video which I had transferred to my phone. Answered no. She started with the back. The first chop she started cutting in and layering. My breath stopped and I said I thought we understood I wanted it all one length. As she continued to cut, she said I don't know how to cut straight across. Result: a layered haircut! Devastated. I'll have to wait another year for it to grow. I live in a town of 350,000 but can't find a hairdresser who will listen. I'm ready to fly to your state just to get a good haircut. Are you on west coast, east coast, or middle of America?

While I take extremely good care of my hair, and it’s super healthy, I’ve noticed that it’s thinning more and more due to hormonal issues. This video popped up randomly in my suggestions yesterday. I showed my husband the video and I broke down and let him cut my hair. He ended up cutting off over 12” and I may have had a moment or two where I was wondering what possessed me to let him take scissors to my hair. But I’m happy to say I now have a super cute cut and my thinning hair doesn’t look so thin. This cut literally breathed new life into my hair! So thank you, thank you, thank you for making such a great video that even a husband that’s a complete amateur could follow with success.

You are so right on. I've had long hair my entire life because it is so fine and thin that I cannot do anything with it. I have it cut blunt. They kind of look at me like I'm in the 1990s but I have to wear what works for me. No texturizing. Just blunt. It's about three inches below my collar bone. It has worked really well for me. Thank you for all of your tips. I totally agree with you on the blunt cut!

[@LazyIRanch]

Christopher Hopkins, the Makeoverguy who does amazing transformations with mostly older women uses this cut a lot. Really brings back the body to thinning hair. I need to go get mine cut like this. I hate how thin it has become after menopause. Last night I had a nightmare that I was completely bald on top, like an old man! I woke up in tears, but was relieved to find it wasn't that bad!

[@aashpreetkaur1803]

Oh my godddd!!!...You understand the fact the point-cutting reduces the volume for thin hair 😭😭😭😭😭😭 I want to cryyy....... Told this to hundreds of hairdressers literally....explaining them for 1/2 before they start....and they always snap back that more layers introduce more volume!!! I have always ended up with no hair...they just leave a thin tail on my entire head combined 😭😭😭😭

[@GlamGirlGabi]

I totally understand the struggle. The thing is that layers DO give volume on the crown but it doesn't matter if you have no baseline. The most important thing when working with fine hair is to keep the baseline strong or you lose the entire structure of the cut. Some people literally cannot have layers! I'm sorry that you have had some frustrating experiences.

[@suesmith3744]

Exactly Aashpreet , it’s SO frustrating 🤬🤬

[@joanmcdermott6798]

It’s been my experience that most hairdressers don’t know what to do with fine thin hair.

[@kimmy0868]

Professional here! It’s ALMOST NEVER OK to point cut baby fine thin hair. Blunt lines are key to creating a weighted look on most styles therefore making the hair appear thicker. I can’t tell you how many times co workers have point cut my hair and I have to go back and blunt that out cause it makes me look bald. I tried this haircut during Covid, let my hair grow down but it was so raggedy and thin I took it back above my ears again. I do love this video and I hope a lot of stylists are watching and taking notes!!!👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏

[@jeanmastrangelo1157]

I just got my haircut yesterday exactly the way that you suggested… My hair was down past my waist and it is basically all one length so now it’s up a little bit below my shoulders and she said the exact same thing no layering and my hair has a natural wave to it so I don’t even have to use a curling iron or any apparatus all I have to do is shake it and scrunch it with my hands … And of course bangs I have to have bangs… But what I was amazed that was she actually asked me questions on what do you do with your hair prior to cutting it and I said just brush her dry so she gave me a haircut that would cause me to do the same thing… Thanks for the tip

[@zb611]

Thank you for sharing the slight undercut trick. I’m a cosmo student & bobs are in my top 3 fav cuts to do, & I have a handful of regular clients with bobs who are going to love this.

[@sarahmoore1701]

Love this - this style is exactly what I've looked for - for literally decades. I have carefully written down instructions for hair dressers very similar to what is offered in the video. I have brought and shown pictures of bobs just like this. I have carefully explained my "difficult" hair - over and over and OVER. "Rinse repeat" every darn time without ever actually getting the cut I want and the cut my fine thin hair truly needs because most hairdressers just do not listen to or respect what the customer wants, IMO. They decide what THEY think you "need." Then to disguise a poor haircut, or one which does not even ballpark resemble what you have asked for/written down for no possible confusion on their part/provided photos of - they then pressure you to buy expensive hair products to use to "make the style happen." The last time this happened to me, the $200 cut was lopsided and literally 1/2 inch "holes" had been cut in my hair so that several cowlicks stood straight up while some shoulder-length hair remained. I left the salon in tears then next day drove 130 miles to a toprated salon in the nearest mega-city and got the shortest pixie available. I still trim it myself (no more 130 mile/260 rt with gas prices so high) and call it my "pandemic pixie." At least the cowlicks no longer look out of place! Every hair tutorial by every KZbin beauty advisor needs advice on how to deal with hairdressers that refuse to give you the cut you want or worse give you what they "think looks good" but never does! (Followed by really good advice about growing out a pandemic pixie without resorting to scarves or wigs.)

[@irenehigh3175]

So sorry! Did you pay her?

[@jazz901]

I can so relate. It's so maddening. Who in the world created this idea/style of "cutting in" anyway? Obviously a moron. It looks like a bad shaggy haircut! Grrr. So sorry you are having he same experience I am having.

[@rosievriesinga5904]

Great advice. Even for if you have longer hair. Never do layers, it makes your hair look so thin and short especially if it is long. It just looks shorter and thinner. So the advice you basically give for short hair also works for long fine hair.

[@JehanineMelmoth]

I haven't been to a hairdresser for 12 years because the results were so bad. Thank you for this - this is exactly the hairstyle I want, and I'll be able to give precise instructions now.

[@paulinefaulknerartist2738]

I have always wanted to have a blunt bob which is slightly angled like your demo. My hair is fine and I have had a layered bob with a fringe. Now I am growing the fringe out and my layers and slowly cutting the back myself (with two mirrors!) to allow the shorter front to catch up (angle going the wrong way here). Thanks for the tip of a shorter piece at the back to cushion the curve. I am sure I will like this style but will have to wait at least 6 months to achieve it. I will get there!

[@claudiamund-cooper8595]

Great, Gabi, this is it. An irregular bob is best for fine hair. I have managed to create my own style for my medium-fine hair during the long months of the pandemic. I layer, then blunt-cut. I'm quite proud of my results, but then again, I would have liked to be a professional hair-stylist, but ended up in Adult Education. I'm 62 now, and professional re-training is too late. So I keep watching videos like yours. I will do as you say, you're spot on in everything.

[@GlamGirlGabi]

Hey Claudia! I’m so impressed that you’re able to cut your own hair! I tried to cut my own bob once and it was an absolute disaster lol! I can’t get the angle right on myself and it doesn’t help that I’m such an insane perfectionist. Thank you for watching and supporting my channel. It means a lot to me.

Amazing what people give up on. Many States charge senior citizens NO tuition for community college, State college, and State University classes. Most only allow non-tuition paying senior citizens to 'audit' classes. However, depending on State licensing requirements, passing a State licensing test may be enough to qualify for some kinds of State licensed. The places to enquire include the State Secretary of State's Office (usually in charge of professional licensing), State Department of Education, and the campuses if interest. Often, benefits are included such as access to the Student Placement Office and free versions of student computer programs for downloading. The medical community is warning women that women ought to be preparing now to live to be 100. Of your potential 38 years of longevity, 35 might turn out to be far more active than you expect. You might consider whether your retirement budget is set up for that. Licensed hair dressers volunteer once a month at women's and family homeless shelters and cut hair in nursing homes and private homes for fees and tips. S.C.O.R.E. (Service Corps of Retired Executives) hand train individuals fir free in hie to create and manage a small business. Community college, college, and university classes can include auditing public relations classes in journalism or Communication to learn self promotion. Senior citizens are frequently found in the studio art classes, photography classes, literature classes, and history classes. Classes are selected in consultation with advisors who assure that campus requirements are satisfied. You might reconsider at 67, if you become bored in retirement once you get several years of rest and see how your budget developes.

[@peoplewatchingtoday7231]

@@nancy9478 And check on State community college, college, and university fee discount programs for retirees and the disabled. The typical offer is retirees being able to "audit" for free. This is to add mature experience to class discussions, so basically the school gets you for free, and you get the school for free. Maryland is in the minority of States that allows retirees to take for credit undergraduate and graduate courses for a few hundred dollars instead of for thousands of dollars. Retirees are allowed to earn degrees through Maryland discount programs for retirees. If your County runs the community colleges rather than the State, check on their discounts for retirees and the disabled. Our County in Maryland runs a multiple campus community college system that allows those on Social Security retirement or disability to pay only the registration fee and lab material fee while paying NO tuition. Also, be certain to visit the Student Placement Services Office and read their webpage on the school website to discover what they can do for you free. They keep an elite job list of employers who prioritize hiring part or full time with college experience. The most typical deal is that you get lifetime access to Student Placement Office services free for your lifetime upon earning 15 credits. Furthermore, ask Registration and Library Staff whether the school has a free computer download program. These are common. You might be entitled to about $500 worth of free computer programs for your home computer or laptop free as soon as you are given a student ID number or campus email as part of registration. These programs are generally for currently registered students. Find out about free access to the swimming pool and workout equipment. Keep in mind that Student Government has many interesting experiences to offer. Often Faculty Committees manage the school and seat 1 undergrad and 2 graduate student as voting members to set school policy. This can also get you invited to an occasional party. It certainly allows you to add an Administrative Experience section to your resume. The process is to walk over to Studen Government offices and chat with them -- but avoid making the visit the first week of classes. CLASSES are only one aspect of college culture. As a registered student you can usually volunteer at professional society conferences in exchange for free registration. In retirement it can be very beneficial to carry 1 credit hour to get the perks. That 1 credit hour can be in an audited or pass/fail pe class in folk dance or skill class, etc. Studio art and photography and beginner foreign language instruction before traveling are also very popular with retirees. Inquire whether the college has an Interdisciplinary Major Program that allows a 4 year degree you uniquely design for yourself. Typically, those require a balance among freshman, sophomore, junior, and senior classes with some reasonable connections. For example, the college might not have a Social Psychology major but allow a combination of Sociology and Psychology courses to lead to an Interdisciplinary degree. A person might to study one part of the world or etc., taking an Interdisciplinary degree in Eastern Culture or European Studies or Third World Commerce, or Allied Arts. On average, those who earn a 4 year degree live 8 years longer than the general life expectancy tables. If/When you get to the level of being able to teach yourself fully through independent research, feel entitled to stop going to school. As long as guided study helps you more, you are welcome in classes.

Hi Gabi, Thank you for the video and the great advice. I had a shorter hair cut 6 months ago with layers, on my fine hair. It was cute but it made the ends so wispy. I have moved now and found a recommended hairdresser and plan to get this cut, I have waited 2 months for the appointment and its grown a lot. Its out of shape and I tie it back to look styled. As my hair is greying it gets a bit wild, so a blunt cut will be perfect. Thank you.

[@suettle]

OMG this haircut is the best one I've ever had! I have very fine, wavy hair with 3 cowlicks and oily skin and scalp. I sent this video to my hairdresser and just got this cut for the second time. The only modifications are that I didn't get the slight undercut or forward angle because the hair below my crown is much curlier than the longer hair on top, so it looks shorter naturally. I rarely straighten my hair so this works for me. Byebye limp, wispy, straggly locks! My hair looks so much fuller and healthier. I can finally go a day without washing without my hair looking stringy and terrible. I hope you offer a follow up video on different ways to style hair cut in this style. This truly was a life changing haircut, no exaggeration! I feel so much better about how my hair looks! I'm spending much less time styling since I'm working with my hair, not against it!

This is also a great haircut for thinning or losing hair, whether from age, medicine, or health issues. I love the cut . My hair is naturally wavy and in better days, pretty thick. If cut correctly, it will definitely frame your face. I have a long face, and it looks really well together.

Just wanted to thank you for all the terminology and details you share in this video. I only wish I had seen it before I got my hair cut last week. It’s now very short in back and angled longer in front. Cute, but this looks & sounds like it would be even better for me. Of course, it’ll grow and I can start applying the tips next time. I took lots of notes and saved the video, so I’ll be ready! Thx again. I’m going to check out more of your videos now.

[@vlrissolo]

Thank you! A woman who finally knows what they are talking about! I was a stylist when I was younger until I got hurt in my mid thirties. I was a great stylist and own my own business blah blah blah. I had the best thick curly / wavy hair I can do anything with. I did everything with it LOL! That I was diagnosed with thyroid disease and my hair got thinner however I was still able to get a lot of volume out of my hair and where the styles that look best on me. About 4 years ago I evidently according to my dermatologist have hereditary alopecia. It just started coming out in a handfuls every time I shampooed which was the only time I would put comb or brush through it as it was Curly I did not want to tug on it after it was styled. I started to use Minoxidil on a regular basis and because of my already dry skin from the thyroid disease I began to scab and bleed on my scalp. The prescription shampoo and treatment did nothing nor did my hair come back. Now I am fussing like crazy to get something even suitable to leave the house. Unfortunately to add insults to injury I have a condition that causes sweating. Particularly on my head, another autoimmune problem they don't have a reason for. I should be freezing all the time however it's the opposite. And then there's the migraines and swollen scalp. As a younger person I could rip that comb or brush right through my hair and not even feel it now those tiny little clips will sting and burn after about 30 minutes! I am at my wit's end. If I didn't have the knowledge that I had I would probably never leave the house. The style you have is the style that I used to give my clients when they were losing their hair however I have large facial features and I notice you do too. That makes a big difference! I need the volume or I'm all face. I have been pulling it to one side and taking advantage of the curls and it looks pretty good with the exception of the side that I'm pulling over. I'm using powders and hair fibers so you cannot see my scalp on that side while the other side looks great. The front and top are also thinning out, it's just thinning out all over. I am so afraid to cut it and I don't trust anyone to cut it. I know it will draw up substantially when it's cut. I'd like to take advantage of the curl but I don't mind styling it as a matter of fact I miss it so much. I've tried various hair pieces but like I've said the clips are agonizing after a short period of time so I'm looking into a $2,000 topper. They only have about two clips which I think I might be able to tolerate. But $2,000 is a lot for something that might work. Plus I need to get human hair so I can color it to match my own. That is the only way I can get a decent match. I'm going to go through your videos but I wanted to thank you with this ridiculously long comment! Again, you are the only one who seems to get it. I cannot have my bottom length snipped at comet you are right it needs to be absolutely as blunt as possible. I also thought with this cut it would be fun to scrunch it up and take advantage of the curl and get a different look. I know what I want I just wish I could cut the back of my own hair LOL then, a Topper may work much better than with the length I have now which is about at my mid back. It is very long so I can pull it up in a bun or back or over to the side and it will stay. There are so many different lengths because of hair falling out and growing back and falling out and going back if it weren't growing back I would be completely bold. Okay, enough said. Too much said. As you can tell I'm desperate.

[@maureenamos5240]

Hi from down under. You must be the only stylist on the planet that knows hair. You confirm what we all think and want, have been requesting but getting something else. I'm so misunderstood by my hairdressers that I've been cutting my own hair in frustration. Guess what? I recently cut it (using my common sense) and it turns out to be the same as your tutorial. Confirming I'm not mad. Keep up the great and thoughtful styling.

[@amandaludwigs6956]

Literally same. Like Ive been trying to get this haircut for 6 years with no success whatsoever. when I stumbled across this tutorial shortly after it came out I thought THIS IS MY MOMENT, I'll show the stylist and she can give me exactly this ! Ha nooooope. Shorter in the front than the back, layers everywhere "bc it's fine" even tho the whole purpose was blunt and NO layers, point cutting galore. Leaving me with like 4 strands of uneven hair I can do nothing with yet again. My hair is BONE straight too and doesn't hold a curl whatsoever. So yeah, I'm ready to book my flight to canada for her to cut my hair at this point. my most recent fail was last June, been growing it out to try again. Finally, just now long & stringy enough to need cut, although this time the hair around the front of my face is broken and even more scraggly than normal after months of depression-induced-hair-neglect, sooooo I'm not sure there's even enough to make it longer in the front. AHHHHH 🆘 SEND HELP lol!

I have fine hair, but a lot of it, so my ponytail was a respectable thickness. Unfortunately, an illness caused me to lose most of it. I went to a hairstylist and was going to shave my head, but she talked me out of it. She performed a miracle. They way she cut it, you can’t tell I lost a ton of hair. Now it is all growing back and I have inch long hairs sticking out everywhere, but in a couple or three months, I am going back to that same lady and letting her cut it any way that she wants. I know she will do a good job.

You beautiful woman! Honestly, I'm tearing up a bit because I have been struggling with hair loss due to significant amounts of weight loss (which is great, but my confidence began lacking when my beautiful mane started thinning out a great deal). I have been needing a haircut to get me through this temporary stage and I have been unsure of what to get, nor how to even determine and then explain what my specific wants are. I have no clue about things when it comes to the inner workings of cutting hair and so getting my haircut is always a hassle because I don't know the specifics of what to ask. I just point to a picture like a kid and tell them to use their best judgment, lol. From the bottom of my heart, thank you for going a step further and letting us know specifically what to ask for and why. I am looking forward to a new haircut and now I can do so with the confidence of knowing how to relay what I am looking for. Thank you!! God bless!

Thank you so much!!!! This is exactly what I always ask for but not always get. The worst thing is when I ask for this exact way of getting my hair cut and it looks perfect, only for the hair dresser to point cut in the last few seconds because they just can't resist doing it, and I walk out feeling like I have thin ratty awkward strands for hair while just minutes before that it looked full.

Loved your video, I am trying to grow my hair. It takes ages and it's very fine. My hair is thicker at back, very thin on top. So at the moment using products to stimulate the hair and it does help. Hairdressers always want to put layers in so trying to grow them down. Last time I did ask them to blunt cut my hair so they only cut the length slightly. I shall remember as well to maybe have a middle parting instead of a side one, also cutting the back neck slightly shorter underneath. Very helpful. Thank you. Sue.

Thanks for this. Do you have a video that talks about best haircuts for thin, fine hair like this one, but for thinning hair on the top of your head. My hair never really came back after chemo at 37, the scalp is a visible if I don’t have my hair light. I love the platinum, so that’s not a problem, but I am early 40s and don’t want a cut that makes me look older. I wear a lot of wings, which I love, but I do a lot of outdoor activities where I can’t wear them, and I’m just looking for something that might help a bit as far as cut goes. I know it’s never going to look great with that degree of thinning but I didn’t know if there’s anything that is a little better than others?

[@HealthyWealthyandWise365]

I have wavy fine hair and learned in my own to cut my hair exactly this way except I also layer. My cuts are better than I ever received from a hair dresser. The layers bring out the wave which makes the hair look fuller. I get tons of compliments. I learned the hard way not to point cut.
