- Hey, everyone.
Kayley, your friendly, neighborhood hair stylist here
with my sister, Anna Laura.
Today, we're gonna be cutting Anna Laura's hair
and answering your questions.
- Woo.
Dance break. (dance music)
- Anna Laura comes in to work everyday
and I'm just like, (sighs), I need to cut them.
(both laugh)
- She's like a fiend.
She's like, "Let me cut your hair."
So today, I finally decided that it is time.
- Honestly, your ends are better than mine
so I don't know why I'm hating so hard.
- Well, you can see them more on mine
I think. - That's true.
And also, I'm waiting on my own haircut.
We have, there's a thing happening.
So, we're gonna be answering some questions.
I asked you guys on Instagram
what questions you have for us.
We ready?
We ready to do this? - Let's get into it.
- All right.
So what we're seeing here with Anna's hair
is that there's a lot of whispiness right here.
You know, you can kinda see my fingers
through the bottom of the hair still,
whereas if I move it up here, you can't see my hand at all.
So, basically what that means is that
there's not a lot of density here.
Additionally, there is some damage.
Her ends are starting to do what I call palm tree-ing.
Basically they're going like this,
which is kind of the precursor to splitting,
which we don't want.
So damage travels up the hair,
so as soon as you start getting damage down here,
it's gonna keep going up and basically the longer
that you put off getting your ends cut,
the more you have to get cut.
I don't necessarily subscribe to cutting your hair
every six weeks, but I do think you need it
whenever you start to see damage on your ends.
What are your goals for your hair?
- So, I really like to keep as much length as I can,
but I like for it to be as healthy as it can be.
- Okay.
What do you feel about layers?
What are face framing?
- I like layers and I think it gives it
some life and some movement.
- Right.
Maybe just to get some like, to get it to float
a little bit more up here. - Yeah.
- Okay.
And then definitely face framing layers.
- Okay.
- So, we like face framing layers in the sense that
we like to, kinda, take some weight out
so you can flip and stuff,
but not so much that it starts, like, here.
- Exactly.
- Okay.
- Let's chop it.
Boom.
Aright let's start off easy.
What is your favorite color?
- My favorite?
Oh, I don't even know anymore.
I think it has to be blush pink, though.
- My favorite color's yellow, by the way,
if anybody was wondering. - It's still yellow?
- Yeah.
- Aww, that's so cute.
I've had, like, seven different favorite colors
in my lifetime and I think yours has stayed the same.
- I've had one favorite color my whole life.
Has there ever been a braid you couldn't master?
I'm gonna answer first.
Yes, like basically every single one.
- Yes, when I was doing the, my festival hair video.
I wanted to do this one that I saw on HairByRuslan's page,
also, he's got a great Instagram and YouTube channel,
if you wanna check that out.
He did this really cool half up half down braided hairstyle
with a french infinity braid, and it was gorgeous.
And I literally spent hours trying to figure out
how to do a french infinity braid on myself
and it would not happen.
- Do people ever think y'all are twins?
Yes.
All the time.
People thing we're twins or that I'm older.
- And not because of the way you look,
it's cause you're so confident
and that I have a really young energy.
I think that's really it.
I don't think that either of us look particularly
old. - Young or old, yeah.
Well that goes straight into this one.
How old are you guys?
- I am 30 years old.
I am a 30 year old lady.
- That's super exciting.
I'm 24.
- 24 year old lady.
- It's a pretty good age, I like it.
How do you guys handle differences of opinions
and remain professional?
So I really think that, when it comes to the big picture,
you and I are pretty much always on the same page.
If there is a difference of opinion, it's usually
in how we get there.
- Execution?
- Yeah.
- And then, I think in those moments our differences
typically complement each other.
- I think so.
Okay.
Let's just take a minute here.
Which, like, she looks like she has
double the amount of hair on this side.
- Yeah.
- Cutting off scragglies, and not.
So yeah, this is why we get regular haircuts, ladies.
As I have not had a haircut in, like, six months,
but we've got plans.
- We're about to make up for it.
- Next question.
- Is your sister also a hair genius?
- You know what, I think you are.
Cause this girl has done hair for her friend's graduation,
proms, even like bride's maid hair for weddings.
You actually could do a dutch braid before I could.
- What, really? - Yeah, yep.
- I forgot about that.
- Yep.
- Obviously, I see you and all the things that you can do
and I'm like, yeah that is not on the same level as me.
- But I genuinely think if you had the same amount
of experience that I did, we would be on very equal footing.
- Such a compliment.
- Let's put some layers in it.
- Okay.
- Grab the chair.
- All right, next question.
Do you guys live together?
- (laughs) Technically, no.
- I am married and I live with my husband,
but I do come over here and work everyday,
so we joke about that.
Cause we'll talk about groceries.
- There's a lot of we happening, too.
- There is. - We say we a whole darn lot.
- How did your sister start working for you?
So, I was working in social media marketing,
and then when Kayley moved back from LA,
she asked me to help her with her Instagram.
And so that's kind of how it got started.
Then you came over to my house for the Christmas videos
and we did all that.
I think that was the first day of really working together
fully, during all of production.
- Yeah, that's true.
Definitely did kind of evolve into it.
- I just say that Kayley's cloned herself.
- Yeah.
- That's how it worked.
- That's how I say it, too.
I've cloned myself, I did it.
- Congratulations.
What are your zodiac signs?
- Oh, hey.
She's a Sagittarius.
- I am.
- And I am a Cancer.
We, oh my gosh, I wonder if we could find that again.
- Oh, yeah we have to.
- Here you can read a couple of it,
if you wanna know what working together is like.
- Cancer might be surprised by the hyperactive nature
of Sagittarius, and Sagittarius might not understand
the mood swings of Cancer.
That pretty much I think sums us up right there.
- Yep, so Anna has learned how to work with me.
She makes coffee in the morning and walks by me
so I can smell it and then she puts it on
my makeup vanity so I'll go put makeup on
so we can get to work.
- How do you find an inspiration for new hairstyles?
- A lot of Instagram.
It used to be a whole lot of TV and movies
and, I mean, obviously from the Game of Thrones stuff,
that still happens but I think a lot of it
is Instagram driven right now for me.
- All right.
Describe your different styles.
I'd describe yours as definitely feminine, a little girly.
I think playful.
And, like, I don't know.
Like light and airy.
- So for your style, I would say,
you remind me a lot of Blake Lively in the sense that
you have style and it's really cool,
but it's also very relaxed and approachable.
One of my guy friends once had the audacity
to tell me that he didn't understand
why Blake Lively was my celebrity crush
cause she wasn't even that pretty.
The audacity. - Oh my god.
That's like one of those things,
like he couldn't have been serious.
He literally could not have been serious.
- I know, I was like, are we seeing the same person?
- What is your biggest pet peeve about the other?
I know mine.
- Oh, god.
- It's not that bad.
You'll see why I know mine.
Kayley will just start singing a song,
then it gets stuck in my head and so I'm singing it,
and then I pass it back to her,
and she starts singing it, and it's this, like,
terrible viscosus cycle.
- Yeah, we pass the same little ear bug back and forth
all day long.
- It's so annoying cause it's like, I can't stop,
you can't stop, we both can't stop.
- Nobody can stop.
- And then The Shallows was really bad
because neither of us can actually sing those notes.
- We also didn't know the words.
- So that would be mine.
- Yeah, probably that you seem to always have energy,
and I'm like, but I wanna sleep.
At the end of the day, it's good for me
and it's good for our working relationship
that you're like that, but oh my god.
All right, go see it.
- Yay.
Perfect, that's exactly what I wanted.
- Promise?
- I promise.
That's exactly what I wanted.
Absolutely perfect. - Okay, cool.
Cool.
So, yeah, we basically copy and pasted her haircut,
just higher up.
But let's just take a minute to appreciate
how much healthier. - [Anna] Oh my gosh,
it feels so much better.
- [Kayley] I know, I just wanna like play with it.
- Freedom!
- All right, well this was fun.
- Thanks for cutting my hair.
- Of course.
You're happy with it?
- I'm so-
- I can tell, you can't fake it.
Not with me.
- I'm so bubbly, I'm so happy.
- Yay. - A fresh cut.
- Me too, and this was fun.
