A few months ago i shared with you a video on money, saving hacks and in one of the tips i mentioned, that i've been cutting my own hair for at least the last five years. So in this video i'm going to show you how i do that now i'll be completely honest, i hesitated a little bit when it came to making this video, because i recognize that i am not a hairdresser. Nor am i a hair expert, but after i gave it some thought. I realized that pickup lines is about sharing with you simple and minimal ways of living. So if i found something that works for me, then why not share that with you? But look ultimately it's your decision if you want to follow along or not, but if this makes you feel nervous to cut your own hair or maybe it's not even the cut that you're going for then just disregard this video all together. But if you have been interested in cutting your own hair, giving it a trim or adding in some layers, then you might find this video helpful in some way, and just so you know this is after i've cut my hair. How about i show you what it looked like before? This is what the hair looked like curled, and it was just getting too long feeling a little bit wild and way down on top of the head, and what you can see is the ends were a bit damaged and in desperate need of a trim. Here'S what it looked like straightened just to give you a better indication as to how long it really was so time to give it some more volume and get it looking a bit more healthy now to cut your own hair at home, you're just going to need Four simple things: some hair, elastics or hair clips, whichever you prefer you're, going to need some scissors that one should go without saying you're going to need some kind of brush as well as some kind of comb. I like to use both personally and that's really it now. You can choose to cut your hair dry, in which case i definitely recommend that you straighten it. So your hair is all the same length or you can choose to cut it wet. As you'll see, i've chosen to do, and in that case, you're going to need just one extra thing, like this little handy spray, bottle to make sure that your hair stays wet throughout the time when you're cutting it all right. So step number one is determining the length i start by dividing and separating the top two thirds of my hair into a bun, and i begin by cutting off the desired amount from the bottom third of my hair. To do this. I just brought this hair to the front and separated it into two parts, starting with the bottom piece. I run my hair through the comb, brushing it forward on a bit of an angle and then cut to my determined length so cut straight across with the scissors and then point cut point cut just means cutting into the hair like i'll be doing here. It gives the hair some more texture and it helps the layers bleed together a little bit more now we take this piece and use it as a guide by combining it with the other section so combing it all forward, as we did before, holding the hair firmly Between our fingers and then looking for the guide, which is the shorter part that we just cut then cut to the guide, but be careful not to cut the guide itself, you can also choose to point cut into the hair if you'd like but you'll see. I skipped it in this step because we're going to come back to cutting the front of the hair at the end of the video, but go ahead and point cut now. If it gives you peace of mind. So now you can see that when we cut the hair in this way, it already adds a bit of layers. The front pieces are shorter and what's going to fall into, the back is longer it's been about six months since i've cut my hair. So you see i've gone ahead and cut off a fair bit, but if it's your first time start by trimming modestly, you can always cut off more the next time. You do it if you ended up liking the results and also keep in mind if you're cutting your hair wet. It gets even shorter when it's dry, so cutting off less might be a better idea, especially if it's your first time after you're finished cutting on the other side. It'S always a good idea to double check that the lengths are the same on both sides, and in this case they are so we're good. Now i just repeat, as i did before, finding the guide and cutting to that length cutting across at first and then point cutting from the back you'll see that this style of cut naturally gets longer as it approaches the spine, and i feel this style of cut Suits me much better than when the hair is cut in a blunt straight line across the back. Now i'm going to tie away this part and get started on adding the layers for the layers i'm going to bring down the top two thirds of my hair that i tucked away before and i'll create a center part. You'Ll want to create a center part, regardless of how you part your hair. Naturally, when it's styled, then using my comb, i took a one centimeter section to the right of the center part and flipped it over to the opposite side of my head and tied away. All of the hair on the right side of my head, we're gon na come back to this later now using the comb. I neatly created a two centimeter section on the top of my head about one centimeter to the left and one centimeter to the right of the center part. Now it doesn't need to be exact, more or less is fine. Now this is the section we're going to use to determine the length of our shortest layer. So i begin by combing the hair straight up, holding the hair firmly between my pointer finger and middle finger. You just want to make sure that your fingers that are clamping the hair are parallel to the floor. Now, keeping that tension between the fingers, you can bring the hair down so that you can see it and cut it straight across blunt cut. First and then point cut in how much you choose to cut off is entirely up to you keeping in mind this is going to be the shortest visible layer you can see here. This is as short as it's going to be for me, and it's a length. I'M happy with now i'm going to move about half of this hair to the other side of my head, because i don't need it anymore, but i want to keep about half of it to combine with the new section of hair because i'm going to use it As my guide now that it's all been combined, we do the same thing: combing the hair, all the way up, holding firmly between the fingers and applying tension, keeping the fingers parallel to the floor and holding that tension between the fingers as you bring the hair down. In front of your face to cut, you should be able to see very clearly the guide, which is the hair that we just cut in the previous step. We want to cut to the guide without cutting the guide itself and i usually actually blunt cut about half a centimeter or so below the guide and then go in point cutting after this and that's pretty much all there is to it. At this point. It'S gon na get really simple, because it's gon na start to get really repetitive section away. Some of the hair you've just cut to the other side of your head, so it's out of the way, but keep some of that hair to combine with the new section. So it can be used as a guide combing up with tension, fingers parallel to the floor, cutting half a centimeter below the guide and then point cutting in. You might be wondering how layers are going to form if we keep cutting the hair to about the same height as we're doing here, keep in mind the head is curved, so layers will naturally form at different heights when we allow the hair to fall after we've Cut it when everything has been cut, you can bring the hair back to its original place, and i just sprayed it here to give it a brush to show you how the layers turned out. So, as you can see shorter layer on the top and longer layers on the bottom, of course, no extreme layers, just a modest amount to give it some texture and volume. Now we're going to move on to the opposite side of the head, but be sure to first separate a one centimeter portion to use as a guide before tying all of this hair away. Then you can let down the hair that needs to be cut and it likely also needs to be sprayed and combed through to make sure it's evenly wet. Now i've sped up this part of the video, because we do exactly what we did on the other side. Here, taking a new piece of hair and combining it with a previously cut portion, combing up finding the guide, as you can see here, which is the piece we just transferred over from the other side, and then we cut just below the guide and then start point Cutting in, i think, you're getting the idea. It starts to look like i'm cutting off a lot of hair and i'm sure it looks really daunting or scary. But i assure you, i've kept much of my length and you'll see that for yourself at the end of the video granted, it has been six months since i cut my hair last, so i cut off more than i would if i was cutting every three or So months, ultimately, though, cut off as much as makes you feel comfortable and if it's your first time cut less and see how you like the results, if you like how it turned out cut more the next time now, especially in this last part, you can see It starts to look like i'm cutting off a lot of hair, but trust me. It looks really good in the end and all the layers come together really nicely alright. So now both sides have been cut and layered and we're almost done. The only thing left is to frame the hair around the face, so go ahead and recreate the center part. You can also remove all of the hair elastics. We used to tie back the hair and spray the hair, if needed, to make sure it's all sufficiently wet. You can see the hair is already layered at the front of the face, but i like the layers to be a bit more noticeable and clean cut. So all we want to do is take the comb and draw a line from the center part down to the top of the ear, and we do this on both sides of the head. Then we tie away the hair on the back so that we can focus just on the hair that frames the face, wet it if needed, and then start to comb the hair down and on an angle holding the hair firmly between the fingers. You might need to do this a few times and take your time making sure you've got the hair held firmly because we're working with the front of the face. After all, this is not a section we want to mess up when the hair is evenly distributed between your fingers, you can begin to cut just a little bit off the length about a centimeter or so point cutting in with the scissors. As you work your way down the hair on an angle, so now that it's done, you can see that the layers are a little bit more pronounced and i usually like to go over this part one more time to make sure it's looking neatly cut on an Angle, cutting away any little stray bits as needed. Then we repeat this on the other side, because i'm right-handed with the scissors and it's easier for me to see what i'm doing on this side of my head you'll see that i cut the hair from the bottom up, whereas on the other side of the head, I was cutting from the top down, but really it doesn't matter in which direction you do it so long as you're cutting off the same amount from both sides. As you can see, i always do a check anyway to see if the layers are the same length on both sides of the face, and after doing this, i noticed i needed to cut off a little bit more. So that's what i'm doing now and checking this one more time. I see that the layers ended up being the same length on both sides. So i'm happy with it. Now you can let down all of your hair and i've just given it a spray and a brush to show you what the final layers look like when the hair is still wet before we begin styling, so you can see the layers are not extreme, but they Are definitely more visible and the hair has overall maintained its length, so even though it may have looked like we were cutting off a lot in the end, it still looks long and healthy. Now that the cut is finished, you can go ahead and part it. However, you normally would, i usually part it on a little bit of an angle on one side of my head, which naturally gives one side more layers than the other. Then the most important step is to dry and style your hair. However, you normally would so that you can see how the final result looks. I'M always so happy with it, and even after five years, i'm still dumbfounded with how easy it is to cut my own hair at home. So now that i've finished styling, my hair, you can see that the layers framing the face, look really cute and give it a lot of volume. Now a lot of you asked me what products i use in my hair, and the answer is simple. I don't use any products, i'm lucky to have a hair type that holds its style, so i don't need any mousse or hairspray or anything like that. The only thing i do use is a little tiny, tiny bit of coconut oil just to de-frizz the hair and of course it naturally adds a little bit of shine too. But i mean it when i say just a tiny bit. It goes a long way and you don't want your hair to be oily now. Let me show you the back. You can see that the hair looks healthy, it tapers really nicely towards the center and the layers make the hair look luscious and add plenty of volume. As well seriously, could this have been any easier? I thought i'd also show you the hair. When it's been straightened, so you can better see how the layers look. You can see now there's a lot of texture and the shortest layer is about shoulder length on me, but you can always make the layers more or less extreme, depending on how you, like it, curly, wavy or straightened the layers, look visible and beautiful, either way. All right so now you know how i cut my own hair at home and how i've been doing it for the last five years. It might go without saying i'm always so pleased with the results, or else i wouldn't be doing it time and time again. I love how light it feels afterwards. Above all else, i love how healthy it feels, especially with all the little dead ends, trimmed away and gone. So i like to keep up with it every three or four months by giving it a little trim. But of course, now you are at the liberty of cutting it. However, often you'd like that's one of the perks of being able to do it yourself at home, and i'm going to emphasize this one last time for good measure. If it's your first time cutting your own hair, please cut it modestly, at first so trim away just a little bit wait for the results, see if you like it. If you do the next time you cut it, you can always cut away a little bit more. If you'd like okay, that's it for today guys thanks a lot for watching, and i will see you next week, ciao you

Nikoletta Markou: Out of all the at home layering videos I have seen and experimented with this is HANDS down the closest guide you will get to a salon hair cut. And also its super easy. My hair came out sooooo good! (context: I have super long, thick hair)
MsFabliaux: I tried it yesterday evening and it worked like a charm! Took me about 20 minutes and more courage than I anticipated at first, but totally worth it. I can't stop flipping my hair today.

Bianka Horváth: I've been cutting my hair this way for two years now, and I still love this method. I tried something else last time, it just didn't look good. I come back over and over again for this tutorial, thank you!
Black Tourmaline: I tried a couple of other tutorials but I keep coming back to this one. This one always gives me consistent and nice looking results :) Definitely recommend if you're looking to cut your hair by yourself.
Unusual Practical life: Great job! I am a hairdresser and I think you're doing a great job
Olga Tuchina: I’ve been cutting my hair like this for the last 3 years, I’m so grateful this video exists☀️ Thank you
Wendy: Thank you for this tutorial!!! This was a lifesaver as I got my haircut from my regular stylist but she doesn't like doing layers in my hair and I didn't feel like paying another 70 dollars to go to someone else. This came out perfect and exactly what I wanted for my layers. It looks great and was easy to follow!
Janet Zamarripa: I found your video after searching for an in home cutting for my two nieces and sister. Followed thru your tutorial and it was so easy and quick! Both nieces and my sister were very happy with their hair cut. I am now going to try it out on myself as soon as I get home, super excited to give myself my first cut! Thank you so much!
Debbie Rigby: Thank you for this! All the hair salons are closed, but my hair was just too long and heavy. It went almost to my butt and I was done! I chopped the shortest to my chin and the longest to just below my armpits. About 8-10 inches. It turned out great! Took about 30 minutes and was fairly easy! Thank you!
S M: Tried this with very VERY thick and wavy hair... was a bit of a workout making sure I pulled the pieces straight up and tight, but totally worth it. I like it better than the last few professional cuts I’ve gotten. Thank you!
Regina Phelange: This is a really great tutorial! I super long hair (down to my belt) and the only mistake I made was make the bottom and first layer shorter than the layers above it. The bottom layer was my desired length though. I didn't notice, since I tied it behind my head when I was working on the other sections. Not a big deal, I'll just cut the top again. Just a little tip to pay more attention to the bottom layer blending than I did
M: Thank you so much for this tutorial! You have done an excellent job teaching and demonstrating how to cut your hair. You have given a wonderful walk through and thorough explanations. I have been using this video for 2 years now as a reference when cutting my own hair and I always love the results. Thank you!!
Lauren Woods: 2 years ago I watched this video and have been growing my hair since. It is long enough to do this cut now and I can't thank you enough for showing a beautiful, simple, timeless cut that I see myself doing for years to come.
Satine: I'm coming back for my second cut, I love how my curly hair has grown out after this wonderful tutorial. Now just for a little trim a couple of months later thank you!!
Nicole Abercrombie: I just cut my hair like this and honestly it’s one of the best haircuts I’ve gotten in a long time. Thank you so much for posting this!
Shannon Bailie: Question! I cute my hair using your video before and it looked great -- although, I realized the layers I cut (especially the lower ones) were still a bit longer than the length I'd cut my bottom half too. How do you make sure the hair you trim into layers remain consistent with the longest length? Does that makes sense? :)
Amber Alexandra: This is literally the best at home layers hair cutting video I have seen and I’ve seen a LOT!! I struggle a lot with getting my layers even and this is fool proof Thank you!!
Clohan Mom: After watching the video several times, I gave it a go and my hair turned out so good :) I'm sure I made a bunch of mistakes as it was my first time cutting my own hair. Thank you Pick Up Limes for giving me the freedom of not having to depend on anyone to get my haircut and save some cash as well :)
Laura pi314: Worked beautifully, and so easy! I layered my hair for the first time - slightly longer than her hair was. Worked great! Thank you for this tutorial :) such great tips on this channel
Lauren F: Just went for this completely following the tutorial and I was super nervous but it turned out PERFECT. This is exactly what I feel like I always ask for but never get. I think the trick is to make sure you pinch the hair tight with your fingers and get the angle as perfectly vertical as you can while you’re holding it
zuzuloves: Just used this tutorial to cut my hair! I was suuuuuper nervous but it worked out amazing! Totally going to keep cutting my hair myself! I’ll be uploading a video sometime this week so you can see how the haircut turned out! ❤️ Thank you so much!
Jennifer Kelley: Love this video. Super easy to follow. I was skeptical at first, but since it was Covid, home cuts were the only option. I've got long thick hair and the cut helped thin it out a bit and the layers looked great. This is my 2nd time back around watching the video and doing the cut.
A. D: I have used your tips and my mother cut my hair step by step the way you do and it turned out perfect! The best layered hair cut I’ve had in years! They NEVER cut my hair as I ask - they never give me enough layers but I am so happy with the way it turned out. I wish I could show you my pic. Thank you so much for your video!
MissyBee37: Thank you for sharing this! I just wanted to say that I used your video to teach myself to cut my hair last year when the pandemic started and I was both nervous to go to a salon and did not have the extra money. I've kept doing it myself now simply because I like it and it saves me time & money. So, thank you!! This video is so easy to follow and so helpful.
Nikki Dickerson: thank you for making this video! it was so easy and i love the results!
Keila Mickley: Your hair is gorgeous! Great tutorial, super easy, and I'm very pleased with my new look!
Kathleen TLY Ching: Due to COVID I became the hair dresser for the entire family, however, my hair was suffering. Thankfully I ran into your tutorial and it was a life saver for my heavy long hair. Thank you for your tips and making this entire process doable(I made up horror stories in my mind) and easy.
Jess Saade: It’s about time I comment on this video. I’ve been using this tutorial for over a year, and my hair is seriously the best it’s ever looked. This is also saying a lot because I have curly hair (type 3A/3B for any fellow curlies out there!). I’d always struggled to grow out my hair because of stylists chopping too much off during my salon visits. With this tutorial, I can give myself modest trims every 3-4 months and my hair is finally showing length!! I feel so empowered and no longer have that getting-a-haircut anxiety. Thank you, Sadia!!
SDC: I'm 68 and have always cut my own hair. My hair is long and all silver and now I have your haircut. Always nice to know a new way to cut hair. Thank you, I'm thrilled with my new cut.
Iryna S.: Thank you so much for such a simple and straightforward tutorial that proved to be very helpful!
S.D77: Thank you so much, this really helped. I just cut my hair using this tutorial and it looks decent :) it was a bit sloppy being the first time I did it but it looks much better than it did before. I am excited and will use this again in the future!
Katlyn Weaver: I haven’t had a hair cut in 15 months and my hair was in rough shapes. I have some significant bald spots from a medical condition so I was anxious at how it would look but it looks great. Thank you so much for making this. Best haircut video on here!
Mari fg: This tutorial was amazing! Thanks so much!
Vivian Crespo: I just cut my hair. I was scared beyond belief, started doubting myself halfway through, and at the end I was so impressed with results! Thank you so much!!!
Christie Sifferman: First and only tutorial I watched, watched it only once, did it, never paying anyone to cut my hair again. It's so easy, so fast, and looks great! Highly recommend this tutorial!
Julia: It's my first time trimming my hair at home and your advice is great, though my hair is longer and I am unable to stretch it all the way up and I had to even up my hair later on quite a bit. Overall, I am going to a hair salon in 3-4 months for major change anyway and you saved me at least 60 $ for trimming. My hair does look much better. Thanks!
Madalynn Lashley: I followed your tutorial, having never done more than a trim to my hair here and there, and honestly I don't think I did bad. Your tutorial was very helpful. I think I did better on one side than I did the other, BUT this was my first attempt to do something like this. I am pretty happy with it, and I know it will grow back if I do mess up doing this in the future. I will definitely be using this tutorial to cut my hair! Thanks for the tips!
蔡慧華: Thank you so much for this video!!! I tried to cut my own overdue long hair for the first time and it looks great !!! Thank you!!!
jade brown: I have been doing hair for 30 years & I can give you my stamp of approval You did a great job!! I love your videos & always look forward to what great tips you have have next ❤️ take care
Erin McGuire: OMG!!! Thank you so much for this tutorial. Took me over an hour but my hair looks and feels fantastic! Very thick. Very long. Lots of split ends. Cut out a massive amount of weight, shaped nicely, tidy and healthy looking. Almost combed my hair dry trying to get the parting Technique but oh so worth it!!! Love my new haircut.
Karen Arceo: I have tried this at home myself recently and it turned out decently well! It would help to save money but the only thing that bothered me was the obviousness of each layer. But, using my hair curler helped to soften the look of the layers. I used thinning shears instead but I think it looked fine for the simple look I was trying to achieve. I of course, prefer to get my hair cut/trimmed/done at a hair salon and even coloured a little more than I have it at right now, but Quarantine Times have forced smaller businesses including the ones at the mall to be closed & many people like myself, in the city of Winnipeg, MB, Canada to have to resort to at-home haircuts.
Vanessa Jones: Thanks so much! I’ve been cutting hair for years and trimming my bangs since the pandemic but just hadn’t loved any of my attempts on the rest of my hair since my hair is so long. This worked great! My hair feels so happy and looks fabulous!
Kim H: I know this is an old video, but I just wanted to say, “Thank you!” for posting this! During this pandemic I’ve resorted to cutting my entire family’s hair... but my own hasn’t been cut since January. After watching this, I was determined I could do it. I just cut my hair following your tutorial and it turned out great! I was nervous because I don’t have nearly as much length as you, but I figured it would still work because when I pulled the bottom towards the front of my face I could easily see to make the cuts. This was the best!!! Thank you!
NeonHologram666: This is my 2nd time (first time in may) doing this tutorial and at first I thought i took off too much but I was once again pleased at the results. Honestly if it keeps looking this good, may just do it myself for now on
Madalyn Fernandez: The best haircuts tutorial I ever followed. The results came out so great. Thanks for the tutorial!!
Anna: Omg I just found your page out of nowhere and saw this video! Tried it and I have to say this is the easiest and best haircut I've ever had! I didn't know I was capable to cut my own hair before. Thank you so much this is life changing
Maria Vittar: Thank you so much for the tutorial. After months deciding whether to try cutting my hair at home, I finally did it today using your tutorial and I am really happy with the result! Thank you
Miranda Gonzalez: After months of considering cutting my hair, and watching this video like 100 times I finally did it. I will not be going back to the hairdresser. It wasn't THE BEST haircut I've ever received, but with some practice I think it will get there. It was pretty good, and I was impressed. Everything came out even, and it looked good. My biggest issues were cutting with my left hand and deciding what angle to pull the hair from my head. 2 more times and I think I will be a pro. Thank you for posting this.
Anne Archy: My hairdresser used this exact haircut on me and she told me it was a style you can cut at home but I wasn't exactly sure how to... Thanks to you I now know where to start :)
Marilyn Amaya: What an excellent tutorial I loved how clear and easy to follow your instructions were and my hair cut came out Awesome. Thank you again for posting it
pushpa GK: I literally stopped going to parlours to cut my hair cuz of your amazing haircut tutorial. It's been 2 years since I started to cut my hair on my own. And I love it! Thank you❤
kiki: Cut my hair for the first time in 8 years using this, came out great!
Bediha Yilmaz: I have curly hair and I tried cutting my hair using your technic and the result is amazing! I was wasting my time and money at the salon for all these years! Thank you so much :)
Sandy Seddon-Rice: I just finished cutting my hair using your method. I have very thin, long hair with bangs. It was a challenge to adapt your method for my bangs, but I did it. I happy to say my haircut looks good. Thank you for posting your video.
BethPoet: Thank you so much! Followed this video today, and am so pleased with the results! Also took me about 2 hours (hair kept drying too fast - didn't have a spray bottle - highly recommend). My hair is naturally wavy, and was super long (so heavy). I am happy with the amount I took off, but had I just wanted a "trim" I probably would have felt I made it too short. So yes, be very careful as to how much you cut off, you can always do it again if needed. Set aside a good chunk of time, be patient and persevere and you'll be very happy with the results!
