Hello, so today I am going to be showing you how I cut my hair. I'Ve done this for the past couple of years, where, instead of going to the hairdresser kind of just cut my hair myself at home, actually cuz, i was saving money but partially because I was just like I'm going to go and it worked. So I kept doing it so today I thought I'd show you how I do it so. First up you're going to need some scissors. I like to use some little sharp nail scissors you're, also going to need two hair ties and a drop cloth and and bin to catch all the hair it does get quite missing. You'Ll also need some mirrors, so you can see what you're doing and a hair straightener, which I will show why you need that in a second. So first up, I section my hair and the idea is you want to get here? That'S all in the same layer of your head, so it's all the same length and then what I'm going to do is straighten it. Just so. I know that there aren't any kinks in my hair that are going to affect the length and meaning that I'm going to cut one bit way shorter than the rest next you're going to decide what length you want it. I just decided to go quite short. This time and you want to cut it a little bit longer than what you want it to be. The first cut is definitely the scariest and for a while, it's going to look a little bit weird, but persevere you'll get there and in this stage you're not worried about cutting it perfectly straight. We'Re going to fix that. So how I do that is I cut upwards in a motion and this kind of Ruffins the edge makes it not too blunt, but it also helps shorten bits. So you can even out any crookedness once you're done with that section and it looks pretty straight you're going to tied up in a little ponytail just so it doesn't get in the way over the next video here, we're going to cut and you're going to take Down another section of here, so you keep the process of straightening, then cutting and trimming, and you can also use another piece of hair that you've already cut off. It'S a guy, that's kind of gross, but it works. It'S helpful, make sure you're not going to get it way shorter than the wrists underneath and then once you've done. That section, I take it out of the ponytail and check those are two layers kind of the same length when I did it. The bottom layer was a bit long in aside to trim that, so you pick that with every layer of your hair until your whole head is done. And finally, I like to give my hair good shoji mess up, and sometimes you will find a bit that's longer than the rest, because it was flipped around in the wrong place and then you're done so today I curled mine a bit. I'M still not sure how to kill it when it's this short but they'll be learning process, I'm sure maybe I'll do a video about how I do my damn when it's short, when I figure that out. I hope this was helpful. I'M not a hairdresser, but this is just how I do it and I thought I would share so I hope you enjoyed it and did give it a thumbs up, and I will see you next time. Hi

seola: I watched this over and over while cutting my hair. I am alone and no one knows what I did. I look gorgeous right now. Thank you
Cyn R561: Love that you don't talk to much , half the time i turn off the video before finishing because the person takes 30minutes to say exactly what you did in 2. awesome
Mélodie Bergeron: anyone else here because of a mental breakdown lol update: i cut my hair and it looks GREAT
Lpg 8: wow, I'm shocked it actually turned out good and with those tiny scissors.
Momo: I’m still processing the fact that I actually cut my hair.. so I was having a mental breakdown and did this on a whim...I’ve never had a good relationship with my hair so I thought screw it. I followed this tutorial and omg my hair actually turned out so much better than I expected! Sure it’s not perfect but you can’t really tell. I feel so much better and don’t regret this at all. Thank you so much for the video! ~

Take care. X

It's seriously brilliant!!!!! ✨

Maria Taylor: It looks incredible ! Thank you, I’m going to try this technique
HEM: I followed your instructions and cut my hair short (almost as short as yours). And I loved the way it turned out. It sure was a risk. I was so scared to experiment with my hair like that. But i did.. And loved the result. Thank you sooo much. If it wasn't for your video I wouldn't dare to touch my hair. But I'm quite confident now and I think I'll do it again xD
cannadle: Thank you soo much for this video! As i want to cut my hair to exactly that length that you did i'm sure it will help a lot! :)

Aliza Khan: I cut my hair and I love it! Thanks for this video
Zerina Taznin: Used water instead of a straightener And followed the rest of the instructions, and my hair looks GREAT! Thanks for the tutorial :D
Daisy Chambers: Hey great tutorial! Can I just say you look like Sophia Myles? You're really beautiful! Thanks so much for the tutorial! I cut my hair recently and the back bits are really hard to do. But this has made it so much easier. Short hair looks brilliant on you! You made it look so easy. I might straighten my hair before I cut it now, it makes it look easier to do x3 Thanks so much! Also your facial expressions in this were priceless XD!!
briejoana.: Awesome technique and really simple. Congrats on the good video !
PC H82: Great video! Helpful definitely! I don’t know how some manage to go on and on for 20plus minutes Thank you for this
gabriella gtg: I did it and it turns out great! Thanks so much!
Fernanda: You are soo cute! I am a mom of two boys, it’s hard to get in the salon for myself! So I often get frustrated and bust out my haircutting scissors and give myself a trim (bob as well ). My best tip is to leave it a bit longer than you’d like in case you royally mess up and need a professional to fix it . I currently cut both my boys’ hair, but cutting my own hair is more challenging. I do find the blunt bob cut pretty straightforward and adding some upward texture does help make it more forgiving. You look lovely w short hair ♥️
Hollie Jade: This was definitely the most helpful video I have watched on cutting your own hair into a short style. I just cut my hair which desparately needed over an inch off the ends and it looks ok. Thanks.
dj: Simple yet informative :) Thank you for this vid it is very helpful.
J Lombard: Looks easy! Thank you for going straight to the instructions. I can not tell you how many hair cutting videos I stopped watching for long drawn out commentary. Good Job!
A Plague Doctor: I love this so much. I realized I didn’t have any extra mirrors or a hair straightener so I used my phone camera instead, it worked out. My haircut didn’t end out like yours (mostly because I have adhd and halfway through I stopped paying attention) but now I look like a fairy mushroom creature and it honestly fits my aesthetic perfectly XD
Christina L. Suarez: Great job! Looks amazing and very stylish!
Briana Sheldon: I hate going to a stylist because I'm growing my hair out from pixie length and every time I try to get someone to even it out they cut it too short. I literally just followed the instructions from this video after watching it and my hair looks salon quality. I love it! Now I have cute little chin length bob. Forever cutting my own hair from now on.
Isabell G: It looks super cute xD I already cut my own hair, but I have pretty long hair and have never tried cutting it this short yet. Love the style, hope I soon try it.
Lulu Wu: This is the exact length I want to cut it short. Thank you so much.
Kang Jimin: i LOVE that it's a normal/straighter looking bob you are going for and i just did this yesterday and it turned out awesome!! i'm sooo happy with the result~
Oindrila Duttagupta: Hey, I followed this tutorial and I'm lovin' my hair. Thank you!
mademoiselle: That animation was so cute! How did you make it? I usually cut my own hair too (a standard cut in Sydney is $120...) but I cut it all in one go. I'm not going quite as short as you though- And at the moment, am growing mine out for the wedding
Dyn: my mom is allowing me cut my own hair ^w^ the other videos I watched took like 30 minutes to finish one layer! quick and easy to understand thank you so much!!!!! (I've wanted to cut it for a year now)
pigment studio: This looks so nice Tara! I cut my mums hair regularly and I've cut my own fringe in the past but I don't know if I would be brave enough to do this myself! haha! x
Fran Covey: Thanks for this... Your hair looked so cute when you got done.. Ive been debating on cutting my own. Ive done it in the past and it came out, ok-ish. This gave me some tips (straightening) that I didnt think of before.. Thanks again!!
Susan Ridenour: Excellent video, thank you! As short as you cut yours is exactly the length I'm wanting to cut mine. Plus I needed courage to do it myself, and watching you take that much length off your hair was just what I needed.
Haley Powell: Just did this tonight and it turned out awesome!!!!!!
Megan Mahoney: Your hair looks great, never would've guessed you did it yourself! Love the animations too xx
Linda Greaves: Looking fabulous Tara! I love that you cut your own hair. Also, ahhh the cute little animations :D Nicely done!
Bubbles Swizzer: My hair was nearly down to my waist and I just got sick and tired of it...so I cut it, just a wee bit longer than yours in this video, and it is absolutely amazing, thank you so much for sharing this...(also for looking so amazing to inspire me to just go for it )
Fiona Mehta: Thank you for your video, really clever, will give this a try. Your hair looks lovely and you have great skill too (never thought about cutting hair like this). Really lovely hair cut, well done you!
Eldsflamma 82: This was so helpful! I will try this when my hair has grown out!(I had 2 shave it all of last june after a big hair fail when I had it pink)
Candace Miles: The tiny scissors are so cute!! Definitely doing this, maybe I'll make my own video hehe
Scarlett O.: I cut my hair and it looks SO GOOD. Thank you!
galiagoze: Thanks for this video and getting straight to the point without gab!!! I too cut my own hair! Stylists often cut my bobs too short or lopsided!!! I look best in a bob. My hair is shoulder length and I put it up (so easy to do). But, bobs make me look younger and fresher. Thanks again!!!
fluffybangtan: Really helpful!! Can't wait to do this! :3
andrea: That's it, I'm chopping my hair off. lol
Ikra Khan: Oh my God this was so helpful. I just cut my hair and it end up so amazing. Thankyou for the video.
Jasmine Rosie: I've been having such trouble with hairdressers not getting what.I wqant my hair to look like, I'm really excited to try this once this cut grows out so I can have what I want!:) Thanks for posting! This was actually totally what I imagined it would be like! I like a really blunt cut :)
M S: I was really dreading the outcome of cutting my hair myself. But this video was super helpful and it turned out really well. Not as great as yours but thanks!
MurrayPaws: I just cut off 14 inches of my hair. A big thank you to you and this video. Now I can donate my hair to Wigs for Kids.
Christine S: My hairstylist cut my hair in a longer bob because I had it very long (middle of my back) and she didn't accept to cut more. So I just came home and cut another 5 cm. Great video, really helpful :*
Maria Welling: You did an amazing job..it looks so good!
Meri Dannbom: I just cut my hair insipired by your video for the first time and it came out almost perfect!
Nicole Mountz: This really helped me! I've been looking to save money and time by cutting my own hair, but I just didn't know how to start! Thank you!
Dana Sellers: After watching I will probably attempt this - I've been cutting my own bangs for years, but I've never taken the leap and did the whole head. Any tips on getting the back even with the front? Yours looks great! You make it look easy...
Pam Coyle: I used your method and it worked great. I watched your video several times, and then cut it about 1inch shorter, and it looks much better than when it was getting too long.
Aleksandra Zimpel: I cut my hair yesterday and it looks great
Isabel: You could wet your hair instead of straightening it too :) Amazing method though, I didn't expect it to turn out so good.
onyion: It works on me! This is the second time I tried your tutorial. Thank u so much :)
Dayana Alvarado: This looks way better and straighter then the past 10 videos I just seen! Lol
Vanny Lidl: Thank you for this video it's sooo helpful!! I cut my own hair about as short as yours and it looks amazing and I'm sooo happyyy!! I subscribed to you :DD
Annel Moreno: Wow this ended up looking so gorgeous!! you look beautiful! love it
cinamooon: This looks so good! I want to try it but I'm 15 and have long thick hair
Philomanie: Your haircut looks great! A modern lob/bob with a soft edge - well impressed :)
Emily Moon: Congrats on a short informative video that gets straight to the point. I was hoping to find tips on cutting your own hair in videos that weren't too long, and this is definitely beyond my expectations. Tried it, and I am really happy with the result! :) I had never cut my own hair and of course I made a few mistakes but practice makes perfect, right? Besides money, saves a lot of time and it's also a lot of fun!
Eva: Just did this and it worked really well, thank you! I love that the video wasn't unnecessarily long as well
