This whole thing on YouTube right now, where you put your hair in a ponytail and you just cut it yeah we're we're not gon na. Do that today. We'Re not gon na do that. I am not even going to go into the many many reasons why I feel like that is very risky for someone who's, not a hair stylist truthfully even for someone who is a hair stylist. So much so much can go wrong with that technique. Today, I am going to teach you how to give yourself a long, layered haircut, though, with some face framing pieces and I'm going to teach you how to do it in the exact same way that I do it on my own clients. Let'S get started for this haircut, you are going to need a few tools. You are going to need hairdressing scissors, you can buy them online, you can buy them on Amazon and you need a hairdressing comb. As you can see, one side of the comb is wide tooth and one side is fine tooth. This is very helpful to have, especially if you plan on keeping up with this or you plan on giving your family members haircuts as well. The first thing that we're going to do is part our hair directly in the middle, so that the haircut is even no matter which way we decide to part our hair later. This gives us some flexibility in our future styling. The next thing that we're going to do is subsection the hair from just behind the ears forward and put that in a clip so that it's nice and neat and tidy. And you don't get confused when you're working on the back foreign section from the back of the middle of the head and you're going to bring it up. You are going to position your fingers so that your fingertips are reaching towards the ceiling on an angle. What this is going to do is keep that top layer. Long all right, I'm going to show you what I mean on a mannequin head. So if you position your fingers parallel to the ceiling, the layer at the top gets shorter. If you angle it the other way, then it goes from a short to a long layer. I have fine hair, so I don't like a lot of layering if any at all. So I position my fingers in a way to ensure that my layer is long. My fingers are positioned in a way that, when I drop the hair that layer is going to be long once I have that angle set and taut in my hands, I can bring the hair down and snip those ends. Look at how dry and pathetic my ends are here. I needed this cut so badly after you've cut the first section. You now have a great guide to work with all those other sections are going to be based on this guide, no pressure. Everything else is based on this: one cut snip snip. So now I'm going to take half of that previous section and integrate it into a new pie, section right beside it again, I am angling, the hair up making sure my fingers are in the position that I want them to be in finding that previous guide and Cutting to match the guide, so, as you can see, I now have some nice long layers on the one side and there are no layers at all. On the other side, pretty easy right now we're gon na go and we're gon na do the other side. So take half of that first section cut for our guide and add hair that hasn't been cut position your hands and cut. You can really see that guide here. Do you see that? Do you see how clearly that is you really just have to match that first cut to all the other Cuts now again take half of that section? You just cut pie out a new section, and do it again keep doing this until you finish the entire back? I personally like using a smaller to mid-sized section so that I am neat and controlled. If you have thicker hair, you will need more sections than I do with finer hair. If you have finer hair than I do, you may need even less sections just make sure that the hair that is in your hands is neat and it's not spilling out all over the place. The neater you can keep the hair in your hands, the better. Your haircut is going to turn out now. I just take the hair outwards to double check that it's the same length on both sides, because I am a little bit neurotic. I typically go through the entire cut at the back again to make sure that I didn't miss any pieces at all. I always find that the second time around, I still have a few hairs that I missed, or that I need to take off in order for the cut to look really really perfect. Here'S a little hair, stylist tip for you when and you are sectioning make sure that you are using the fine tooth part of the comb so that everything is in order before you cut. You want it to be taut and perfect before you take anything off when you get to the front. It is tremendously important to be very careful here, because the front hair tends to be a lot more fine than the back of the head and you can get a whole real, quick, especially if you have any thinning in that area at all and a lot of People do have either like a deep recession here at the temples or they just have really fine hair on the sides I have had so many holes cut into my hair because my hair's so fine at the front. It'S not even funny so many holes even from like really great senior stylists. So what I'm going to do here to maintain my Baseline is seriously over direct that section back when you over direct hair. You keep a lot of length so make sure that the bottom section, which is the Baseline, falls out of the comb and then cut those ends, do less than you think seriously. So much can go wrong at the front if you have fine or thinning hair. If your hair is thicker at the front, you can do a bit more, but if your hair is thin at all like proceed with caution, do the exact same thing on the other side, now over direct the hair back check that your finger angling is pointing down. So that the top layer stays long, make sure that Baseline bottom section falls out and then cut. You can always cut more front layers when the hair is dry, but you can't fix a hole so chill seriously, don't overdo it. I don't want anyone crying over there. After using my tutorial as a guide, now, let's do some Precision face framing layering. Are you ready? Do you have your hair nerd glasses on pay attention section that front area just above the ear out and clip the back away so that you don't get confused? Okay, we're just working at the front now. What I'm going to do now is take a tiny triangular section right at the front of my hair and I'm going to use that as my initial guide, so remember how we had the guide in the back. We'Re going to make a guide now for the face framing length at the front, because I have a cowlick and I also like wearing my hair swoopy. So I'm going to use my chin as my guide. Some people like to use below the nose if they want more of like a serious curtain, bang Fringe. I did a tutorial on that where I did cut it to my nose, so I'll leave a link to it in the pinned comment. If you want to see what it would look like, if you cut that section to the nose at the front, I like to point cut all my sections so that they are wispy and so that they blend better. All that means is that you are cutting in on an angle and not straight across, so that you get little Peaks and valleys in the hair. It'S not a blunt cut. It'S peaked now. Let'S work on one side at a time: you're gon na take the these diagonal subsections and you're going to combine your guide with it and cross it over to the other side, keep your fingers parallel to the subsection and point cut by angling. It across your face, like this, you are creating this natural bevel. Take another section: go across your face: angling, your fingers, so that is parallel to the part and point cut repeat this a few times and keep checking your work to make sure that you are getting that soft angle that you want and that it is all even And really nicely Blended foreign tuck it away and start working on the other side, doing the exact same thing as before. If your hair starts to get dry make sure to re-wet it, it has to be really wet in order to get that precision when you are down the side, go through your layers and check your work to make sure that each side really is perfectly even if One side is longer than the other, then you just need to angle your fingers a little bit more on the longer side to even it up that happened to me once that was a little longer. So I just went back section by section angling, my fingers a little bit more all right now. I just blew it all out and then I straightened everything with a flat iron. Even if you don't like wearing your hair super straight, and I don't I always like to wear my hair with volume. If you go through this extra step, you can see where there is heaviness and where there are weight lines. We at least see if something is uneven when your hair's super straight and you can fix it so just straighten it super bone straight just so that you can see what's going on this extra step really will lead to a much more professional looking haircut now. I basically redid the entire haircut but dry. I checked it all dry and while I did that I point cut into every layer so that it Blended perfectly into my hair. You don't want to remove length here. We'Ve already done that when the hair was wet, but you do want to remove density. So, don't angle your scissors because you will cut off length, bring the tip of the scissors into the hair totally straight down, and that will chip away some of that thickness. I did this for every single section at the back now, when I get to the front, I notice that I wanted a tiny bit more face framing, so I took that frontal section forward across my face and I slid my scissors down gently through that section. If you have fine hair, like me at the front, make sure when you do this, that the section is going across your face before you slide cut, because it will over direct the hair and leave more length. So there is less of a chance that you will make a big mistake or cut a hole or just like totally take off all of that density at the front. If you feel any heaviness, you can also go in and you can point cut it just to make it softer and more Blended, of course, repeat the same steps on the other side as well. This is what the haircut looks like when it is completely straight. As you can see, I have some beautiful, even blended layers and some nice heavy face framing layers. There is loads of movement without there being any chunkiness, which is key, and also my hair feels absolutely amazing now, which is so awesome. This is how this haircut looks after giving myself an extreme volume blowout. It is a very 90 super model with which was the haircut inspiration that I pinned on Pinterest. I really wanted to go back to that 90s supermodel Vibe. That'S why I gave myself this haircut and I definitely think we achieved that if you're gon na do this and you have any questions, please leave them in the comments. The video It's Over.

Glam Girl Gabi: Thanks for watching you guys! If you do this and take a picture, tag me on instagram @glamgirlgabi so I can see it and share! If you want to see how that face frame looks when you cut it to the nose, check out this video: Hairdresser's Guide To Cutting Your Own Curtain Bangs and NOT HATING THEM! https://youtu.be/murddyc58Y8

Colleen Joudrey: This was so much more helpful than other tutorials I have seen. I impulsively gave myself a wolf cut in August and it worked out well with some tweaks but it's well grown out now and time for a change.

abunchahooey: This is a great cut technique, but I get all caught up in the back trying to make sure my finger angles are the same on each section. It’s so hard to remember exactly how angled my fingers were on previous cut. I always make things harder than they need to be.

Mona K: This was incredibly helpful! Thank you! I've been cutting my own hair for years and I didn't know about the angling of you fingers. Which makes complete sense. I've just brought my hair straight up, let a bit fall in the back and cut the rest straight across. I was about 12 when I learned how to cut my own hair. My brother's girlfriend at the time cut his hair and his friends hair. I watched and figured it out. But, I didn't notice the angling of the fingers. Now I understand how to change the depth of my layers. I am definitely giving this a try for my next cut. I think I'll try the angle up for a shag. I'm really looking forward to my next cut now.

Lucy S: I am due for a hair cut and this video came just in time❤! I've cut my hair since 2017. I was sick of paying for the holes in the front that you mentioned in the video and having to wait months for them to grow back.

Tanya Tucker: Thank you so much for this tutorial! I’ve been cutting my own hair for years and this is the first I’ve seen for low density hair. My hair has thinned out so much over the last few years and it’s great to finally have one out there for that! I’ve tried just about every diy haircut on YouTube and none of them really turned out how I would’ve liked them to. Would this also translate well for wavy/curly textures?

Becky: Beautiful! So kind of you to share the techniques for doing it yourself.

Carrie Thompson: U got some Cindy Crawford vibes going on! I think you're so gorgeous! Your personality makes you even prettier! This was proly the best tutorial I've seen. I cut my own hair but never follow any directions lol.. I think I'll actually use your directions bc they're so easy.. I'm usually fixing small parts of my hair for a few says until I feel it's "almost" perfect lol EDIT: OMG I paused & wrote this b4 hearing u say u were going for 90s supermodel vibes.. u really are reminding me of C. CRAWFORD!

Styles By Summer: Love it!

Anna L: This absolutely made me smile today! I love your tutorials!

Cattastroficka: Excellent video. I’ve been cutting my own hair since I was about 18 (59 now). I got tired of hairstylists always cutting too much off. I have fine hair. I also colored it myself, blonde. I did go to a stylist years ago for color because I wanted red, brown and blonde streaks. I went to her for years because she only trimmed about 1/4 of an inch each time. She moved out of state in 2010. Devastating! I stopped coloring (LOVE my gray hair!) and since then I’ve had my hair professionally cut about 6 times, otherwise I do it myself. This video helped me with the front area. Going to try that pulling to one side. I have bangs and want the curve from the bang down to the sides, like in a ‘C’ shape. Thanks for the tutorial. It helps a lot.

L M: Gabi, you look gorgeous ❤The hairstylist I saw a few weeks ago needs some lessons from you. I have fine textured hair and she cut all these short layers (2") over my head. Then she said she had to cut off the back length of my hair to even off what she had done. The only long section left was my bangs and she styled them with a big round brush and it was all puffed out I am glad I am in Canada and I can pull up my parka hood and hide under it

DandelionDreamer: Great tutorial! If only I could do that to myself, my hair is long, thin and fine and I’m terrified of most hairstylists, I’ve tried so many…I usually look worse after they are done than before they don’t seem to know how to deal with hair as fine as mine once they wet it they can’t find the layers and just cut it straight across like a kid with scissors. Yours is beautiful ❤

Rubi Potter: Great video! Thank you Gabi, just a question, how often do you trim your hair? Is there any general rule how often to trim one’s hair if we want to gain length?

Mohammad Aboohosseini Tabari: The result was perfection. You look amazing with that haircut. Plus, your lip color was awesome!

Janith Mathews: Very helpful tutorial. Thanks for sharing this much needed information and tips for us do it yourselfers

Antonia Rebelo: Gabi, you are so beautiful I could never cut my own hair, I will leave that up to the professionals (lol) Thanks for showing us this idea though! Cheers

topazlake85: Thank you for sharing your technique. I rarely attempt cutting my own hair but face framing layering is useful !

Music Lover: Nothing like running your fingers through freshly cut hair! I have cut my own hair many times in my life, got better at it with time but made some big mistakes along the way. For example in high school, every other month, I would trim the ends of my long hair by dumping my hair upside down, brush thoroughly and lightly trimmed the ends parallel to the floor. Then I would stand up, brush my hair into place and trim the ends from side to back. It turned out pretty blunt in the front and uneven layers in the back. Not perfect…but I didn’t have split ends! Lol. Thankfully my wavy texture was very forgiving and disguised the mistakes well. Thanks for this tutorial! I am sticking with my hairdresser, Melody. She is such a great listener and so precise!

whereisleigh: Love this tutorial!!! Now we need a tutorial on how to cut men’s hair! I’ve been cutting my husbands but I’m afraid to cut my boys’ hair

Jamie L: It’s so hard to find a good stylist. My last one was great the first few times, but after I got home the last time she completely missed a section (I fixed it) and I have yet to go back. Thank you, this will be the refresh I need! * grabs scissors *

Patty: That cut looks so good on you. Thanks for the DIY

K: Thank you. How do you cut the length shorter PRIOR to this layer technique (by yourself)?

Christine Stefanovski: Oh lala beautiful girl.. I put my hand up with the pony tail cut.. sometimes there's just not enough $$$ to go around with the life responsibilities I know for me personally it's a great cut when I style my hair at home and I love it I've used a few choice words when I can't..lol Thank you ..great session. Stay well

Genevieve Hodgins Laity: Thanks for the great tips. So many great tips.

Diane M: Very helpful. Thank you for the tutorial.

Turra Gorman: You look absolutely gorgeous with curtain bangs. I did what you told prior and did blunt cut and it is growing in great from that outdated stacked bob. My hair is really thin so I don't think curtain bangs would work and my bob is only half inch below jaw now.

ReuCat: Can you do a whole box dye video for men? Garnier, Clairol, L'oreal vs Men brands (Just for Men etc), Which reflect of color fits men better (Ash vs Neutral vs Golden)? How to dye very short hair and root touch up? Thanks!

Bella Rose: Love your hair color! Would love if you’d share the formula for base & hilights!

Melissa D: Gosh, you're gorgeous. I'm not brave enough to do that to my own hair, but glad some folks are!

O G: If they were really great senior stylists, they were not really that great. I find the majority of hair stylists are not that great. They watch too much social media and think they are worth their crazy prices. They are not.

angela moreno: It looks gorgeous!! YOU look gorgeous! Such a great technic, and your step by step guidance seems doable...I think

Lexi Jones: I had that cut in 1998. Love it. It’s so good

meena gohil: Tell you what, you are truly amazing in your work, keep it up.

Notperfecttonya: I want to try the blunt bob you talked about previously. I have lost a lot of hair and now a lot is growing back so I have flyaways everywhere! (Advice appreciated!) I’ve just been letting it grow. I can tell at the bottom, it’s super thin and unbalanced. I had the idea to just blunt cut to the point where it looks thicker. That would put it more shoulder length. Do you have any tips on how to cut that myself? Thanks for another amazing video! I always look forward to new videos from you!! ❤

Gina Spencer: Gabi you are beautiful, as always, but how do you get your hair to grow so fast?

Frances Campbell: Dear Gabbie Thank you for helping all of God's fine hair fillies! Question: Have you ever tried Ion's Brown shampoo & conditioner? I am trying to cover fine gray hairs, with as little damge as possible. F

Tseten Sampho: Although a little nervous about cutting .y iwn hair, this was very helpful just when I needed a haircut. Yours was perfection and it looks so sophisticated.

Mely Mel: I have no choice but to cut my hair once I dry it and use a flat iron to straighten everything super straight. My stylist used to do this as well. She agreed my haircut turned out far better that way. I also have fine, wavy, thinning hair. Is it okay to use this technique?

ayesha m: So what can be done? Just recently got a hir cut they took weight of my ends with the texturizing shears but I saw she went horizontally and I have curly hair that I like to wear straight but now I feel all these like dents wear you can feel where thickness ends and then really light ends all throughout my hair is that normal?

Sectou Dié: So much love for you , thank you beautiful soul Wish you showed us the end result for little longer, to my taste was not long enough to appreciate your amazing haircut. I want to show it to my hairdresser. Is the cut of the hair ends at the back of your hair (to remove heaviness)appropriate for fine hair? What I mean us about the point cutting to remove density, is it appropriate for fine hair? Blessings beautiful sister

Cerassela Popa: Great! Thanks! Tell me, please, how did you get over the thinning period and hair loss. What products did you use?

Dante Velasquez: I have tried those unicorn cuts on the mannequins and I never liked how they looked. Look how long your hair has gotten it looks fabulous. Doesn't even look thin at all. Great tutorial. What would we do without over direction LOL

Nena Wells: This is the best haircutting tutorial on utube. Stunning blow out at the end. You remind me of the super model Cindy Crawford. That nude matte lip is fire. It realy suits you. Adding abit of gloss can make the lips look like glass if you like that look too.

K S: Great Vid! Could you do one with someone who has very long hair. Most of the pony tail vids I have seen are very long hair almost to the waist, some actually are, not mid length or shoulder.

Rony Rodriguez: nice tutorial, thank you for sharing l will try it, wish me luck

Victoria Knapp: This is 1,000% the exact hair cut I want and need. I don't have near the skill to DIY it, but may email my stylist this video, is that wrong? Following you now, here and on IG.

Navin K: I wish I could be good with parting especially the back of the hair .... I find it so difficult to do it myself

Maryland Mermaid: QUESTION- have you used the Dyson Airwrap?

ENARJEY: Hair tutorial of my dreeeeams

buddy holly: To me this is short hair. Maybe medium, but definitely not long. Would this technique work on longer hair?

Kimberly Dawn: Making sure that the hair being cut is pulled straight from the scalp?

Sonia such: My hair is fine like your . I would probably never cut my own hair so what do I ask for when I go get my haircut ? I too do not like a lot of layers in my hair which most hairstyles like do.

CherylAnn Gutierrez: You look so pretty with that side part!

meena gohil: You look beautiful in the hair cut

Maria DeSantis: Oh my gosh Gabi those videos stress me out you have no idea. I watch with one eye open cringing as they cut the ponytail in a sweat. I feel like I need a glass of wine afterwards lol. I wish I could be like that but I’m too type A personality I’m definitely not a risk taker. These type of hair tutorials I definitely appreciate.

Ибрагим Абдулла: ur hair looks great

Diane Harrison: You look fab x

Josie Lancaster: Beautiful

Lut Devroede: Hello, I love your hairstyle! Do you have a video to blowdry this style?

Tamara Morton: I truly love your videos – and here comes the but - but on this one, you’re showing it from the perspective of a person looking at themselves in a mirror. You don’t show how you arrived at the back sectioning. Darn it. Your styling videos are fantastic though.

Dany DL: Thank you beautiful video

Helen L: I will never cut my own hair. This is why Goddess invented Cosmetology schools.
