today's video is going to be about how
to do a haircut on yourself so it'll be
pretty basic nothing too crazy I'm gonna
keep it to where like most anyone can do
it so the other thing is I'm going to be
cutting my hair dry I would always
recommend cutting hair wet I feel like
you get cleaner lines and just a better
haircut all around but to keep things
softer and if maybe this is your first
time ever come in dry because when you
do it dry you can see every mistake that
you have done and when it's wet it of
course you can see mistakes too but when
you blow-dry your hair it will sit
differently than when it's wet so if
you're doing it dry you can already
automatically see what it's going to
look like so you cut a little or if you
see like there's a line and you're like
oh that's not supposed to be there so
it's a lot easier to fix okay
so first step is you always start clean
quadrants so first you divide the hair
going down the middle in the front and
then down the back so we have whole left
side and the whole right side and then
the other you find back of the ear
coming up so I mean kind of just feeling
you know you know your head so just come
down and separate that and that's your
other section so this way and then so
we'll be starting in the two back
sections
so the first step we have to determine
do you want to go across if you want the
more rounded design light you grab that
section of hair and you angle up up
going this way towards the face and then
when the hair goes back and meets up
with the other hair then you've kind of
got that base and that's going to be
your lowest point of view so kind of
found it out as much as possible like
that and I like to point cut you just
get softer lines so you have to kind of
visualize so say you want to get rid of
that much length so kind of come up that
high then when you can kind of see what
it's looking kind of jagged you can kind
of go across just slightly straight up
don't just go in and cut it completely
straight across and always kind of
keeping an angle with the scissors
we've kind of slightly point cutting
into it a little bit again so it remains
really soft and then drop it down and
you can kind of see if it is smooth or
there's a spot that needs more so you're
like back here it needs a little softer
transition now we've done that so we've
established our length now even this
front section and angling it kind of
thing that's already there just kind of
cleaning up some of the edges and now
just kind of drop it since these are
pretty much my outgrown bangs it's now
kind of matching up with the rest of the
hair if that's what you want that's fine
I think I want a little bit more
separation but we'll get to that later
for the bangs so now you grab kind of
that hair where the two sections where
they meet so just kind of come down and
grab so you you make sure that they kind
of meet up so mine meet up pretty well
but it's always nicer to make sure
okay so we've got that first section
done so now we do the same thing to the
right side obviously okay
so once you've done established the
length on both sides kind of angle that
and make sure that it's pretty smooth
now we're going to start on layers okay
let me I'm clipping out the front
section so now I'm going to I'm going to
establish the length of my shorter
layers in the back
I want my front to kind of be this place
longer and then I will just cut things
in so what you do with this is to bring
it up to a pretty high point see so do
you see my shortest layer and then it
kind of just gets jagged and kind of
broken so if you want a more of a
transition where you want shorter layers
and then kind of graduating into like a
longer on the base or if you just kind
of want long layers and just kind of
like a smooth transition then you would
bring it out here if you want a more
smooth transition in long layers if you
want shorter layers and you bring it up
higher so I want a pretty smooth
transition so I'm going to bring it off
to the side and I'm just going to kind
of clean up and get rid of like some
split ends so not much of really losing
length I'm just going to go across
it can be a little tricky cutting hair
and looking into a mirror because
everything is backwards obviously but
only harder the first time or so in the
user so then I'm just point cutting
again so you don't have any blunt lines
you can drop that and you can see
there's no weird jacket or straight
across blunt lines just kind of a soft
transition yeah we're going to do the
same to the front so the friends a
little different online because my bangs
like I said match so depending if you
want shorter up at the front you could
go up higher and just a bit shorter
again I'm just going to kind of get rid
of those split ends
then off to the side and you can just
kind of see like if they're all kind of
lining up and you can just see that just
starting to look healthier because
you're getting damaged okay and then
again like we did in that first base cut
I'm grabbing a piece from both sections
from the front section and the back and
again holding it out together and you're
just trying to make sure that they kind
of mirror each other so that front sound
longer or so it's about similar so it
looks about fine but just clean it up a
little bit because you don't want to
have like of your point here like wait
here because it the back is nicely cut
in the front and that weird transition
is kind of heavy so just to balance
everything out okay and then again
same thing to the other side to kind of
save time I'll just show you one side
because obviously it's the same thing
then what you can do too and you can
start off doing this first before you
pour the layers this could be your first
step in establishing the length and then
just following it on off to the side I'd
like to do that way first and then just
kind of bringing these two up and making
sure that these to line up because we
kind of cut this for you and then in the
back for you so just to make sure they
line up looking pretty good so again
just point a little bit more
and we are done with layers now what I
would show you is the banks and maybe
some of you all you want is a bang trim
and leaving the rest for a hairdresser
that's great - bangs are something that
are quite hard to keep up with
especially through short or minor logs
so they just blend in with the rest of
my hair but um so first thing in bangs
is determining how thick you want how
much hair you want in the bangs so if
you want pretty thin that's about as
much hair as you need I like mine pretty
thick so I'm gonna go back about an inch
so and then just kind of come straight
out at an angle kind of towards imagine
like the tip of your eyebrow kind of
coming down angling at that I would
start bringing them up and cutting off
say an inch or whatever it is that
you're trying to do I'm not I'm gonna do
about a quarter inch just straight
across because the fact that you're
bringing it up when you bring it down
there to have a straight across line
because you're over directing hair in a
different direction that it naturally
must sit so see there's not like a crazy
stark line
hope you try this out and hope it's not
too crazy difficult hope you enjoyed it
you know guess I'll see you next time
