- Today we share our shear genius.
- Let's talk about that.
(upbeat music)
- Good Mythical Morning!
- Now I know you probably can't tell by looking at my coif,
but I cut my own hair.
- Oh. (laughs)
- Have for years.
And Link used to be in the same hair-cutting boat with me.
- I did. - Used to cut your own hair.
What happened?
- I don't know.
I felt like when it got shorter on the sides,
there was more at stake.
And I might go back to cut my own hair.
- Well, hopefully you're a little rusty
because we're gonna see just how well
we can cut our own hair today.
- Well, but not our own hair.
Hair that's gonna be on our hair.
- Yeah, you'll figure it out,
as we play,
"DI-Why are we cutting our own hair?
"There are professionals for this."
- Okay, here's how this is gonna work.
There's gonna be three rounds of us
trying to perform increasingly difficult hairstyles-
- Yep. - Or cuts on wigs
that we're gonna be wearing.
- Yeah.
- We're gonna be guided through the process,
varying steps in YouTube tutorials by Lizzy.
You're gonna walk us through the process.
We have not seen or prepped in any way.
When we're done, we're gonna remove the thing
that is keeping us from seeing each other,
and then we're gonna judge each other
against what the hairstyle should have actually looked like.
- Declare winner amongst the two of us.
- The winner gets to dye Alex's hair in Good Mythical Morn.
- You scared me for a second.
- Let's do it.
- [Both] Round 1.
- Okay, Link, I don't know what you look like
'cause I can't see you,
but if you look half as good as me right now.
- I look like a Norse god.
- We are in business buddy roll.
Okay.
- We're gonna get this-
- Call me Rock, Rockin' R. Lathbrook.
- We're gonna get things started a little bit easy.
We're not even gonna cut this round.
This round is about more of a style
but this tutorial we're gonna be having Lizzie lead us
through, it's supposed to take us two minutes to do this.
Okay? So this should be piece of cake.
- Piece of cake.
- Lizzie, when you're ready.
- Okay guys.
So the first one is gonna be a braid.
- Step. - Oh a braid.
No cutting involved yet.
- No cutting involved.
So step one, you're gonna part your hair
in a deep side part and make sure it's
on the opposite side from where you want your braid to go.
- What?
Okay. - But I do deep side part.
Deep side part.
- Oh, that's nice.
Oh, I wish I had this much hair.
- Where's the, where's my face?
- This is a good wig.
- It's real Norse god hair.
- It feels like it was just like rip right
off of a Ukrainian woman.
- It was.
- That's how it works, right?
- Yes. - All right, here we go.
- All right.
So step two, grab a section of hair along the top
of your forehead and divide it into two equal sections.
- A section of hair.
- How big?
- That's your prerogative.
- I can't see 'cause my hair gets in the way.
- So much hair, so little time.
- Is two.
- [Link] Okay. I've got two.
- Okay. Step three.
Take the- - Ready?
- Okay. Take the front section
and cross it over the back section.
- But, what do you mean front and back?
You said make two groupings in the front.
The front section and cross it over the back section.
- Done.
- Okay.
- This is easy.
- Okay. Step four.
Add more hair into your quote, unquote new front section.
And then cross that over the back section.
- What? (Lizzie laughs)
- More hair?
- I think I thought you needed three groupings.
- More hair from where?
Is this out of the front section?
More hair from over here?
- [Link] So much hair.
- And then you come across.
- Okay. I'm pretty sure this isn't correct.
- [Link] Feeling good?
- Yeah, I'm trusting.
I trust.
I trust YouTube.
- Okay. Repeat steps three and four
until you reach the nape of your neck.
- What? (Lizzie laughs)
- The back of my head?
- So keep adding hair to your new front section
and keep crossing it over the back section.
So keep doing that.
- Oh yeah.
- I made a mistake.
- I've got it.
- [Link] I added wrong here to the wrong parts.
Come back - Man, This is difficult.
- [Lizzie] Oh, you look kind of good.
- [Rhett] I need another hand.
- Link, you only need two sections
- Too late for that.
- And then you grab a little bit more
of that and you keep going on.
- Is it a twisting motion?
- [Lizzie] Ooh. It could be.
- I'm like, I'm a freaking machine.
You just get, you just want to get down there
and you just do that.
- [Link] So much hair.
- Oh, I'm getting to the naps.
- I wish something you said was helpful to me.
Then you do this.
Then you do that.
- I look, look at that.
Look what I made there.
Look at that little piece.
- Yep. I'm kind of giving up at this point.
- Okay. Take the two sections.
So take all of your hair into two sections now.
Okay, now once you have all of your hair
in the two sections, you're gonna twist both
of them individually counterclockwise.
- You mean like this?
- Twist them individually counterclockwise.
- Oh, too late.
- Twist them individually. (Group laughs)
- Too late.
- [Lizzie] No, you can still do it, Rhett.
- I feel like I'm right on course.
- I feel very pretty.
- All right.
I'm counterclockwise in this.
- So once you've done that,
you're gonna twist the two sections together clockwise.
- Yeah. Done.
I see, 'cause I did.
I took care of all that already.
- Okay. Once you've done that, secure with a hair tie.
- Is that what you do?
- Feeling good all of a sudden.
I'm getting some last minute momentum.
- I mean, I look beautiful.
Look at that.
Comb that up a little bit.
- Now when Lily was little, I would like put her hair
in ponytails, but I never did a braid.
Never could do a braid until today.
- All right guys.
So I'm gonna show you what it's supposed to look like, okay?
- Oh yeah.
- I mean...
- I got, I got it going on, lil' bit.
- My hair is in the same places.
It's not configured exactly the same
but I think it, mine actually looks a little bit better.
- Than what, hers?
- Yeah.
- Let me be the judge of that.
- Okay.
- [Lizzie] Let's go ahead and look at each other, guys.
- Okay.
- [Link] What is this over here?
- The extra.
That's my thing, man.
- You can't have a thing.
- Look at this.
I started slow.
Didn't incorporate the nape, but...
- But, look at that.
Look at the wham, bam, thank you ma'am right there.
- That's a weakness, man.
- Rhett, You did like half of it right.
- But then it ended up looking like it all fell apart.
Mine came together at the end.
- This is how I feel about this right now.
- You did really good here.
- But, I feel like I could go out right now.
You know what I'm saying?
I could go out and then be like, "Look at her."
- But, when I look at her and then I look at me
I'm like hard to tell the difference.
- Are you guys ready to declare a winner?
- I don't think we can.
I think you should do it.
- I'm gonna go with Rhett just
because he did it almost right for the first half.
I'm sorry, Link.
- But when he goes out on the town,
no one's gonna know that.
Okay fine, Rhett, Congratulations.
- I'll see you Friday night.
- [Both] Round two.
- All right Lizzie. - Lizzie, what is this?
- All right, guys.
So this round you're gonna cut your own bangs.
- Oh yeah.
- Okay. Step one is section out a chunk of hair at the top
of your forehead that you want to become your bangs.
Go light on the amount, you can always grab more later.
- Well, that's a good point.
That's wisdom speaking.
- All right guys.
Once you have that section, the next step
you're gonna pin back the rest of your hair.
So isolate your bangs.
- Isolate the bangs, pin back.
Here we go.
- This is like a big alligator.
Look at this big alligator.
I've always wanted to use these.
- Okay?
- Okay. So comb the front section of your hair
and then use your fingers to create a straight line
around the bridge of your nose.
- [Rhett] This is the bridge, right?
- Sure. (group laughs)
Holding your hair between your fingers.
There we go.
Start to cut diagonally upwards
underneath your finger line in chunks.
- [Rhett] Here we go.
- [Link] Above the finger line?
- That's still way too long.
How many steps are there?
Is this, are we going for, am I going straight for bangs?
Am I banging yet?
(group laughs)
Did I just take the lead?
What happened?
- I just moved way out in front.
- All right guys.
Cut vertically into your bangs
until they're at the desired length.
- [Link] Okay.
- I'm just gonna move my hands.
- You might look a little more off, Link.
Rhett, you're just done?
- Yeah.
Well, I'm gonna take, bring my hair down,
but I mean, listen, (group laughs)
the thing that you don't understand is that I look amazing.
- All right Link, I'm gonna give you the last step.
Rhett, you can participate if you want to.
- I'm standing by.
- Hold sections of your bangs straight up
above your forehead and cut down into the ends
to create some finishing layers.
- [Link] Yes. - [Rhett] I could do that.
- [Link] You've done this before.
- You don't want it to look like you
just came from the salon.
You want it to look like you've been working this
for a couple of weeks and it's really settling in.
- I think I caught up with you.
I don't know.
I went the long way around
but something tells me we're in a similar place.
- I probably not.
- All right.
That's the last round guys.
You ready to see what it's supposed to look like?
- Yes. - Oh yeah.
Bangs. - Yeah, but her bangs
are being defeated by gravity.
That's what she doesn't understand.
Your bangs have to make a statement.
Your bangs have to say I reach, I reach for the sky.
- [Lizzie] All right, ready to see each other, guys?
- Yeah.
- [Lizzie] Take a look.
(both laugh)
- Well, what happened to yours?
- You look like a rocker.
- You kinda do as well.
Mine are a little better though.
Mine really hold themselves up a little bit.
- Bangs are supposed to go down.
- No, they're supposed to bang.
- All right guys, what do you think?
- I mean, personally,
just my personal opinion is that mine looks better,
but if we're going with which one
followed the tutorial more,
I say we gotta give it to you.
- Yeah. Thank you.
- [Both] Round three.
- Can I get extra points
for cutting myself in the last round?
- [Lizzie] No.
- Look at that.
- You cut your finger?
Oh god, of course you did.
Tie breaking round.
Both looking as beautiful as ever
but there can only be one beauty queen, Link.
- All right guys.
So this last round's gonna be a little different.
I'm gonna give you the name of a hairstyle.
It's a very in hairstyle right now
and you're gonna cut it without any instructions.
- Okay. - Oh, based on name alone.
- I want you to cut a lob.
- A lob? Never heard of that.
- It's all the rage on Pinterest right now.
- L-O-B?
- L-O-B.
- Can you give a celebrity who has the lob?
- I will not.
- You will not.
Well, a lo sounds like a Bob with an L.
- Yeah. I definitely feel like if we're going
with this philosophy of the Bob,
the Bob has like, like it has a, it has a body to it.
- Mr. Bob-a-bob-a.
Mr. Lob-a-lob-a.
- And guys, you do have styling gels in front of you
should you like to style it.
- Whoa!
- Look at that.
What you got?
Well, I got one half of a Bob.
I'll tell you that much.
- I got the same thing.
I think we're tracking.
- There's something so freeing about cutting hair
that's not yours.
Like the way that we just so aggressively go
after it is, you know, you would never do that
if there, if your own hair was at stake,
- I don't have, I gotta start with a vision.
It's like a sculptor.
- I have a vision
because I think it's all about
what the L stands for.
Hmm. (Link chuckles)
- Yeah. Here we go.
- It's not quite doing what I need it to do.
- Are you actually cutting,
trying to cut a L in your hair?
- No, no, no.
I'm interpreting what the L
here means,
but gravity is really, is really hurting me.
- You gotta defy gravity.
Is that what's happening?
It's the lob.
You haven't heard of it?
(group laughs)
- I feel like I need...
What is that thing that you stick inside your hair
that makes it? - Oh, a bump it?
- [Link] A bump it?
- Isn't that what it's called?
Like what Snooky has in her hair.
- Oh yeah.
Oh!
- Whoa. Goodness.
Are you already in style mode?
- Well, I think I've got a great vision.
There's gotta be-
- There's a fly on my forehead.
I was stab it with the scissors.
Oh yeah.
Look at that.
I'll keep that.
That's a rat tail.
- I'm having some trouble with the front.
Okay. I'm actually feeling pretty good again
because I've got the, what the L was
and I still got the bob part.
I feel like I've got the bob part.
- All right just another, a few final touches from me.
- All right.
You guys ready to see what it's supposed to look like?
- [Both] Yeah.
- It was a Bob with a little lift.
They just didn't lift it much.
- It's a lazy, it's like a bob that's growing out.
- It's a long Bob.
- A long Bob.
- Oh.
- Obviously.
- Okay. I, well, I took a different direction,
but I, I still feel good.
I still feel good based on that.
- [Lizzie] All right, take a look at each other.
- Long bob.
It's pretty similar, we got this like-
- Uh-huh.
Did the, yeah.
- What happened up here?
- [Rhett] Touch it.
- Whoa! Did you put a product in there?
Like literally the container for a product?
- Yeah, the glass bowl is in there.
How else could I get such a lift?
- What about me?
- We have the same thing, but mine has something
that yours doesn't.
Mine has a bowl in it
- A bowl in it.
- I feel like this one's gonna have to go
to a judge vote again.
I mean, 'cause I respect what you did.
I really do.
But, I respect what I did a little bit more.
- I feel like I'm closer to a lot.
- It's coming down to me.
- Lizzie, Do you agree with that?
- Here's the thing.
It's a long bob and Rhett's is a little longer.
- Oh! - So I gotta give it to Rhett.
I'm sorry. - Woohoo!
- It is. Look at that.
Look, look at this.
It's yeah, look.
It's down there.
It's not up there.
- Yeah, it is longer.
Mine's... - And this.
- Mine's a, a slightly shorter long Bob.
- [Lizzie] Yeah.
- Hey, we could still hang out though.
