hey guys so today I want to be showing
you how I got this lob slash bob haircut
I did it myself
in my bathroom with a $10 pair of
scissors and it's actually really easy
so hopefully in this video I can show
you guys how you can do it too
I've never been a fan of long intros so
let's just jump into the video so here I
am with my long or at least longer hair
I know I'm only cutting off a couple
inches today but this process will work
just as well if your hair's a bit longer
than mine or all the way down to your
bun the first step I've done already I
just shampoo and condition my hair last
night and I let it air dry my hair is
naturally straight so I just left it
like that
I've also parted it in its usual
position this is so that when you style
your hair on everyday basis it's gonna
look the same as when you originally cut
it today I've also gone ahead and
changed into a plain white t-shirt so
that I can really clearly distinguish
the ends of my hair and it doesn't have
any like crazy gel old stuff that I
could accidentally cut off if you're
clumsy like me I suggest you do the same
so the next step is to determine how
long you want your bob to be definitely
depends person-to-person and based on
your face shape I generally use like
around my collar like I'm a crewneck
shirt has my guideline on but I've done
this before so I'm just kind of using
some guesswork here now I'm going to
take two brightly colored lesyk stare or
inject heal so you guys can see them and
they're basically going to act as
placeholders where I want to cut my hair
so I'm just going to place them around
the little front bits of my hair just
like a half an intersection and I'm
going to tap tie them rather tightly so
that they won't slip around or anything
so here I'm just adjusting them a little
bit so that they are even and exactly
where I like them to be I know this
looks a little ridiculous but trust me
it's better know exactly where you want
cut your hair then end up with the wrong
haircut later on so now I'm going to
take two thicker elastics and tie all of
my hair at the back of my head in just a
low ponytail I'm going to try not to
move these marking pieces at all because
that would kind of them
I'm going to tie this thick hair tie
just below the marking here since I have
thick hair in order to keep it even more
inflate I'm going to tie a second one as
well now that my ponytail is in place
I'm just going to pull up for marking
Bionics a bit so that they only get one
and I suggest moving this big elastic a
little bit below from where you really
want to cut your hair just so that
you'll have a little bit of leeway just
in case you mess up the cut or if it's
over voltage jagged alright so now I'm
going to go in big cut I'm going to be
using these scissors I got for around
ten dollars at Target they're by Conair
I don't think you really need anything
more professional than this but
definitely try to use hair accessories
instead of kitchen scissors or craft
scissors just because they're a lot
better for your hair and they won't
result in any split ends here I'm just
cutting as evenly as possible and as
close to the hair tie as possible my
hair is pretty darn thick so this was
kind of a Bop if you find yourself
having difficulty like me you can always
ask a friend or family member to make
the cut for you
so here am postponing tail cut oh you
can skip a little bit rough right now
around the edges but you get the general
idea so it's a little bit shorter in the
back get its longer-run so I'm going to
go ahead and take out these placeholder
hair ties kind of shake out my hair and
now we're going to do some general
touching up so I have to do this
quotient of mirrors on with the camera
so I'm going to be touching up my hair
this process depends a little bit on how
cleanly you cut your ponytail but
basically I'm just going to be defining
the edges and making sure that they form
a straight angle line so it's a little
bit shorter in the back and longer run
alright so the front is looking pretty
clean now now I'm just going to touch up
the back
I'm sorry for the weird camera angles
here but I had about five mirrors going
on at this point so I got really
confused on what to shoot but anyways
basically I'm using the mirror to check
out the sides and the back of my head
and trimming off any pieces that are
sticking out this step is definitely the
most difficult because it can be hard to
see the back of your head in a mirror so
if you find yourself having difficulty
you can again ask a friend or family
member for help if you don't trust them
with scissors around your hair where
they're not particularly good hair
cutters you can always just ask them
whether your hair cuts looking even so
now I'm just going to shake out my hair
a little bit to get out any extra hair
pieces and to make sure that nothing is
sticking out if it moves around and
making rule adjustments like all right
so now that my basic haircut is done I'm
going to be doing a little bit of
feathering just to cut out any harsh
lines and to layer my hair a little bit
so I'm basically taking the scissors and
grabbing a little piece of my hair like
this with my fingers and just moving the
scissors vertically and making little
tiny vertical cuts I'm just continuing
we use this technique throughout my hair
I'm focusing on all in the back loop
because I do like the front to look a
little bit sharper and I don't want the
back to look like a giant hair block so
after you layered your hair to your
liking you're pretty much done Here I am
shaking out my hair and admiring my
handiwork and or freaking out and
wondering where all my hair went just
kidding about that last part I'm
actually really happy with how this
turned out now after all your hard work
