Don't Forget To Live Your Extra Life.
Hello beautiful: how are we feeling today we're good we're hanging in there stay positive, we're gon na live our best lives during this time and we're gon na learn some stuff about hair. Yes, today, you're gon na learn how to cut your own hair at home properly. Let me just tell you: this video has been requested for such a long time from all of you. My channel is about going to a professional whenever you can, however, based on the current circumstances of the world that we live in, you probably cannot leave your house or go to a hairdresser, because no salons are open right now. I have created a very simple guide to follow when doing your at home haircuts and i'm going to show you guys how to do it. I know half of you are going to do it anyways and i'd rather you do it. Well then, botch your hair and have to live with it for many months until it grows out. I also want to make it clear that this cannot replace a hair stylist doing your own haircut is just never going to be that that great now, what a hairstylist is going to do is really mold, that haircut to your face, shape and to your lifestyle and To just who you are so, this is the absolute absolute basics of hair cutting, and this is not how a hairdresser cuts hair. This is sort of a one-size-fits-all haircut, it's slightly customizable, but it's a very general way of cutting hair. This is not the techniques we use, they're a lot different and a lot more perfect. This is the basics and with all those warnings out of the way, let's get it started. First of all, you're gon na need some tools in order to cut your hair at home. What you're to need is maybe a couple of clips that would be nice. They can be any kind of clips. They don't need to be like this, but just clips in general will be good, some shears some scissors. I would recommend buying some hair dresser scissors they're, not expensive. You can get cheap ones, but at least they have the ability to cut hair using office, scissors or kitchen scissors. It'S not gon na. Do it as good of a job as this is gon na do, and it's going to kind of up your ends. If you try and do that, luckily, you can go on amazon and order, something it might take a couple weeks to get to you at this point, but you'll get it. You also need a comb and some hair ties. These are just like the tiny little ones. You'Re gon na need four of them. You can do big ones, you can do small ones whatever you want to do. Just a hair tie in general will work. Just fine and a brush would be great in general. You definitely should have. One of these here is everything you need and let's bring in my client for today. Can you guess who it is: she's extra, really special, miss manny quinn come on in girl, come on in oh hi beautiful? How are you today, boop um, you miss thing, have been in more videos than any miss manny quinn ever usually your time is done by now. Sweetie, i don't know how she's doing it, but maybe today is her. Last and final day did i just say that in front of her oops, as you can see, miss minnie quinn is beautifully prepped um, so satisfying when hairs are straight. Her hair has been washed, and you need to do this. Also wash your damn hair apply product to protect your hair. Today on miss manny quinn, i use a brand new ex mondo product that i am so excited about, because i'm excited about every single product. Oh, is that not the sexiest thing ever? This is called forcefield heat shield, and this is our heat protector. So this is going to protect your hair up to 500 degrees. Fahrenheit, it's going to make sure your hair stays healthy. You get absolutely no heat damage. It'S also going to add a nice amount of hold to your style, and we included pro vitamin b5 in here to thicken your hair fibers and make your hair more luxurious.

This baby is, if you've damaged, compromised, hair. Please protect it. It is so important also if your hair is healthy, protect it that way. Your hair is always healthy and beautiful and vibrant and shiny, and that's what we love to see now. I also took some viper smoothing oil through her ends. Just to give her a really sleek shiny glossy look before we get started with the haircut, you can find out more about forcefield on our website at xmondohair.com, it'll be linked below for you. It is not released yet it'll be released soon and you can keep up to date with new product launches on our instagram page x. Mondo hair follow us there to find out when this product is launching so after you've applied the proper products. Please blow dry, then fully straighten your hair bone straight today, we're going to be cutting on dry hair as a hairdresser. We usually cut on wet hair right. Usually you get your hair washed and then cut, but today we're going to work on dry hair, because what dry hair is useful for is seeing the actual outcome of what you're doing. Sooner than later, once you cut a piece, you know exactly what it's going to look like when it's dry, because it is dry. Now we cut hair when it's wet as a hairdresser, so that we don't have to put all that work in beforehand to straighten it and make it really perfectly straight before we cut the water acts as kind of a weight to the hair, so that we can Get all those little kinks and curls out, while we're cutting so having perfectly straight hair, is gon na be very important for today's job. Okay, so make sure everything in the back is all straight all those little pieces underneath all the front pieces are completely straight and one other thing before we really start. If you have curly hair, this isn't for you. If you wear it curly and natural, all the time you're not going to want to straighten it and then cut it, because you wear your hair in that natural state all the time. You should really be cutting it to the shape as how you wear it. So a curly haircut is going to be a lot different than what i'm doing today, and maybe this isn't exactly for you. But if you wear a blow-dried and straight all the time, then this is for you. You can also use this now that we have that all done. We have our hair blow dried straightened bone straight. Take your time with that, ladies or jets, or anything in between. Let'S get into the technical stuff we're gon na start off by doing our four sections, we're using four sections, not two! That'S right! I see a lot of people doing two sections and pulling it to the front now. Why that's bad is because, when it's pulled to the front - and you cut it there, when you pull it to the back you're gon na get a lot of overhanging length. Um and it's gon na look kind of like a v, but like not a very cute v, that's kind of dated that whole v look um, it's not my cup of tea. It'S not my style! So we're not doing that today, so we're gon na part. Our hair just like how we would part it normally, so if you part the side part to the side, if you part it to the middle part, it's the middle. Now that we have our part in the middle all set, you want to bring it all the way down to the back okay, so we have it parted like this all the way down the back. Now that we have that we're gon na then section out each of those slices into two more sections, so we're gon na go to the top of the head and you're gon na lay your comb on there and you're gon na find where the apex is. That'S the high point of your head, the tallest part and i'm gon na - take the comb from that apex and go right behind her ear. All the way down right there right behind her ear and those are our two sections on this side and then you're, gon na repeat the same thing on the other side. So for now, i'm just gon na throw a couple clips in the back to keep them separated. Okay done with step one. Please make sure your hair is all brushed out or combed out and let's start off with this front left section you're gon na kind of want to see how your hair falls and be like look in the mirror and figure out where you want your hair to Land, if it's like right here, just mark it with your fingers and remember that spot we're going to take one of our elastics we're going to comb it together in our hands and we're gon na make a little ponytail right where we want our hair cut. Make sure you're not directing the hair forward like this? Okay, you want it to be right on the shoulder. So if your shoulders were there it'd be like this. She don't have no shoulders she's like i don't need shoulders, and i'm like okay and right about here. I'M going to put my elastic in all right, you can put it up high and then you can kind of drag it down but make sure when you're putting it in you're, not lifting this section up or down all right you're not going like this you're going Like this, exactly how it should lay make sure to keep tension on that hair at all times, so now that we have that in there to the best of our abilities, we're gon na take this and just bring it down. If you need to you can just rag this down a little bit to exactly where you want to cut it. So let's do like that much hair and it should lay nice and flat now that we have our front section done like that, let's move on to the back. It would be nice if you had a friend there to help or a mother or a father or anything just anybody, a dog i don't know so you're gon na be sitting like this. You need to comb out your hair down the back, put the tie in back here: you're, not bringing it forward, you're, not bringing to the side you're, just gon na lay it down your back. Alright, you see how i'm not directing it forward or back it's just straight down. If you have a lot of hair, you can do more than four sections. That'S totally fine! I'M gon na do just four sections to keep it simple today and we're just gon na bring that down slide it down to meet the other one. If you don't have anybody to help you, and you can't see the back of your head, you can comb it flat. Take your hand, keep that tension on it just the way. It'S laying right now and then follow it forward and put the tie on and don't lose that tension, because we want it to always lay flat in the back. So if it's going like this, when you put it back, that's not right, it needs to lay perfectly flat. So we're going to repeat those two steps on the other side and i'll see you in a second. So what you can also do now is just put the comb across and just check. If everything is straight and in the front don't worry if you have pieces coming off, that's totally fine! Those are just your layers, that's just face framing you have going on there. It'S okay! If some strands are coming out, we just want your length. Okay, we're just dealing with the length right now and we can put this comb in between and just make sure it is all straight now onto the fun part we're going to start cutting our hair. Are you scared yet? Well, you shouldn't be because you're in good hands with me, okay, i'm going to be doing this a lot where i have my scissors and my comb. In the same hand, you can do it if you'd like this is how it should look totally understand. If you don't want to do it, it's kind of hard, you can always just leave the comb down pick it up. When you need it and comb. You may have more sections than this. You may have like six, that's totally fine too. We can actually just lift it up now at this point, doesn't really matter where we lift it to, because our section is still pulled really tight into where it's supposed to go. We are gon na point, cut now point cutting is when you go up instead of across or down, but instead of a cross we're not going across. None of this. What horizontal cutting is gon na do is give you a very sharp line, we're looking for a nice blended effect. If you're trying to do a very blunt haircut yourself at home girl just stop trying it's not gon na happen. It'S not! You need somebody to do your hair in order to get a very perfect blunt haircut. We'Re gon na give you a little bit more of a feathered look, but it's still gon na be very straight across we're gon na take that section and we're gon na start point cutting. You can also point cut downward upwards like this or downwards like this. Okay, it doesn't matter it's the same either way. I'M gon na go like this, because it's more natural for me, but i'm just gon na start cutting that hair just taking a little off at a time. There'S our first cut. Congratulations all right, and we can point cut down on this and take some of the bulk out. First cut down. First cut down all right: let's do the back section now the same exact way so we're gon na lift it up. You can pull it to the front. You can cut it just like this. Just don't pull the elastic we're gon na just start, cutting this be careful with your hands beautiful. That looks really good. Let'S do the other side the same exact way as we just did on this side, all right and our last and final section look at these ends. The reason why it's good to have real hair cutting scissors is because it's gon na be really hard to cut through this thick hair with anything but hair. Cutting scissors see i'm really going into that bulk and just getting rid of it. That'Ll make a nice effect when we let down the hair after we did our first cut. That was so fun now that we have all that done, we're gon na let these sections out, and hopefully everything is perfectly even hold on look at that first section. Ah, let's let the next section out and we're going to comb that out. This is actually like coming out better than i expected the last piece, and that is the first step. I literally guys have not done anything off camera to perfect this at all. All i've done is exactly what you've seen and that's the result. There is no v in the back. There'S nothing weird happening. It'S perfectly rounded. Now we're gon na make it even better our next step. This does tend to get a bit long because of the over direction we had over here. So we're gon na correct that now we're gon na section off just a bit we're gon na comb, the hair in front of our face. Hopefully, you can kind of see through your hair, or else this might be a little difficult for you, we're going to take our scissors, and you see that slight bend happening in the front. It kind of goes down a little bit because of the over direction. We had on the shoulders we're going to correct that we're just going to point cut across and we're just gon na get rid of that little tiny, ledge all right, and now it's gone so now we're pretty much straight across up here looks amazing. Now this might be a good place for some of you to stop. If you have fine hair or you like your ends, just feeling really thick with no layering, you can totally stop here all right. This looks great. I'M happy with this. If you want to get a little more style, if you want to do a little more, we can keep going all right, so we're going to bring the hair back into those four sections once again, we're gon na use those four hair ties once more. We'Re gon na take our brush this time or a comb. You can still use a comb if you'd like, but i prefer a brush for this all right. So now we're gon na take the hair and bring it all to the top of our head. Like this. Make sure it's all nicely brushed out super important that there's no tangles everything is very smooth and we're gon na take our finger and go through about an inch and a half up or an inch up just like halfway through that ponytail and let that down and The rest of it we're going to bring up to the top put the elastic in while holding that tension. Just like this, i just put the elastic right there. I'M not gon na cut it right there once it's tied tight, let it down very lightly. Leave it like that. So what we're doing here is we're gon na add layering. Now we're gon na do the same thing on the back: we're gon na lift it up to the apex we're gon na. Let down half of that hair. Keep it up high, while you're putting the elastic in and let it down it's gon na. Look very weird, but it's all good, that's exactly what we want and i'm gon na do the same thing on the other side. Okay, now do not move the elastics at this point, that's very important. Let'S turn her back around get her back up here. All right girl, you're back you're, back we're gon na do the same thing. Point: cutting all right, bring your fingers to the bottom. Hold it like this and you're just gon na take off that high point. So it's a little bit like just get rid of that. We don't need that and don't make this perfect, don't cut it straight across. Please don't do that, make it very very feathered and don't take off too too much like an inch is probably good. If you want a lot of layering, you can go for it. I wouldn't exactly recommend it not at home, at least so that's where i'm going to leave it. So it's a little more straight across but still kind of frayed and keep doing that on every single section and make sure you do the same amount on each side. So if you took an inch off that side, take another inch off this side and don't make it perfect working my way around town and our last section, you can bring these to the front of your head by the way, don't pull on them. You can also kind of spread it out with your fingers and go in between and point cut. Probably don't do it as fast as i'm doing it since you're, probably gon na cut yourself, be careful of that. Don'T cut yourself! Okay, we've done that beautiful. My favorite part we're gon na. Let all these sections down and see what we got. Oh yes, what we just did is gon na be very evident when you blow dry it not so much when it's straight, but as you can see, we have all those little pieces now a little bit of layering at the bottom. It'S not totally blunt! You have a little bit of body a little bit of movement in there. You see that so pretty, okay, let's bring it all down. So what we've done? There is kind of bevel the edges and make it not so blunt you can see when i mess it up with all those little pieces coming through down here. It looks so much more natural and a lot more movement and it's so much prettier. That way, this looks awesome. Look at that movement. We have now now that's pretty much the extent of layering. I would do at home. Don'T do too much of this because you're just gon na get like weird stacking. You can definitely take more off than i did and bring your layers up a little higher because we let half of the hair down on each section. You'Re, never gon na, like cut into your length. So, no matter how much length you take off when you're doing the layering portion, you're, never gon na lose how long your hair is because we let down that bit of insurance so that we don't cut into the length. But i'm satisfied with this. I really like the way that came out now. Lastly, you guys, you can always have a little bit of fun and we can add some layering in the front if you so desire to. You can take about an inch and a half out of the front, and while your hair is just laying flat look in the mirror and point cut very so slightly and work your way down the hair, making little stairs beautiful and kind of round out the bottom. That looks great and now do the exact same thing on the other side, part out about an inch and a half put it behind your shoulders. Just do little steps you can always do more. After just take it easy, and now we have some face framing going on, that will be more evident when you have a nice blowout, but you can see cute little face framing um and now, if your ends are still feeling a bit thick, you can point cut Straight up, so you take the hair, lay it in place and point cut directly up to just get rid of a little bit of that weight, be very careful with this, or else you'll have little holes everywhere. I like the way her hair is, i think it looks amazing. She looks so beautiful all right now that i've finished my very simple haircut, i'm going to curl her hair a bit, make it a little wavy and fun and i'll show you guys what the finished result is i'll, be right back and here is the final result. Oh, my god i mean hello. Did you order one at home? Haircut? Oh, yes, it'll be right. There yep it's here. Okay, she looks incredible. I just quickly did a five second curling iron moment and she is done that is her haircut. She looks fabulous she's living her extra life, beautiful she's, so happy, oh, my god. She needed that so bad. Her hair was way too long and now her ends feel so much better. Thicker amazing! Oh this color is so freaking cute on her.

Comments
Brad Mondo: I hope I can save some of you from doing awful quarentine cuts
Emma Fleck: Brad really said “I know all these idiots are about to be cutting their own hair during this quarantine so I’m gonna teach them how to not make themselves look like trash”
Koufaxx: STEPS [Tools] - clips - haircut scissors (other scissors damage your hair and aren’t as accurate) - comb - hair ties (4-6) - brush [Prep] 1. Wash hair 2. Apply heat protectant product 3. Smoothing oil through ends (optional) 4. Blow dry hair 5. Fully straighten your hair (NEEDS TO BE BONE STRAIGHT!) 6. Part your hair into 4 sections (part how you do normally and bring it down to the back. Then for each large section, part it into two slices by finding the apex [top] of your head and taking the comb and going right down behind the ear) 7. Brush your hair, important to not have tangles 8. Figure out where you want your hair to fall 9. Take your elastic and put it on one of the four sections of hair. It should be at the height you want your hair to be cut. Make sure to not move the hair, it’s important to keep it straight and lay it flat. - for the back: lay your hair flat down your back straight down. Keep tension as you put the elastic on! - repeat for the other sections of hair 10. Check if your hair is straight by using your comb as a level [Cutting] 1. Point cut the hair below the elastic (having your scissors pointed up at an angle to cut your hair) you can point cut downwards OR upwards, whichever is more natural for you. Take of small bits at a time. 2. You can point cut to take the bulk out Repeat for all sections: BE CAREFUL TO NOT PULL THE ELASTICS. 3. Let out the elastics for each section and comb them all out 4. If you have uneven points at the front, comb your hair in front of your face, check where you want it to be level and Point cut to make it even. [layers] 1. Bring all your hair to the top, brush it out 2. Use your finger to separate the section into two parts, about halfway up. (The hair you let down is for length security) 3. Put the elastic in the one at the top, when it’s tied tight, let it down. DO NOT MOVE THE ELASTICS. It does not matter where you tie the elastic as you may not be cutting it at the end of the elastic. 4. Take off the high point in the hair by point cutting. Make it feathered and imperfect. One inch of hair off is good enough. Do not cut straight across. Do the same for each section, taking about the same amount for each off. You can also fan out the hair section and point cut like that. 5. Let the hair out and comb it! Don’t try to layer too much! 6. If you want layering in the front, look in the mirror and section about 1.5 inches from the front pieces (for face framing) and put the rest of the hair behind the shoulders out of the way. Point cut down gradually to blend it in. Like little stairs down the hair. 7. You can point cut straight up to thin out the bluntness in the bottom of the hair, don’t overdo it or you’ll have holes on your hair! That’s all :) enjoy your day! (Yes I also wrote these for myself because aha ha... I’m going to attempt to do this) Update: edits mainly correcting typos and for clarification. And yes I did this and it actually turned out really well, I cut off like a foot of my hair myself lol. I’m probably going to cut my hair again soon using this method :) praise brad mondo. Also good luck to everyone else cutting their own hair. Remember, if you screw up it will just grow back, there’s always tricks to hide and fix bad hair moments. (Trust me, I’ve had plenty) Edit: it’s crazy people are still reading this, I’ve cut my hair twice following this guide and cut off a LOT of hair. It’s not perfect because it’s hard to see the back, but usually you can get someone else to help even that out. Otherwise it works really well. Good luck all of you :D
Gracey Anne: To anyone debating whether or not to cut their hair: DO IT!!! I couldn't wait any longer to cut my hair short, shorter than I've ever had it before. Both my mum and dad refused to do it for me so I did it myself and now I feel like a bad bish. My confidence has sky rocketed and I only cut it half an hour ago!! It's slightly uneven and I need to get the back trimmed a bit but I don't care because I have never felt this confident in myself!! THANK YOU BRAD MONDO <3
enirffeJ: But shouldn’t you have put the wig on your own head? I can’t just take my head off and cut my hair like it’s a mannequin head....
Amor Antasia: You’ve inspired me to cut my own hair! It’s damaged & I can’t find a natural hair stylist
Keeley Marshall: This is like the equivalent to a mom saying “I’d rather you not drink but if you do, I’d rather you do it in the house and be safe” Edit: Holy crap, thanks for all the likes!!!
Dawn Pybus: THANK YOU BRAD! Out of sheer desperation from lockdown-long-hair I asked my husband (who I found out has never so much as put a women's hair in a ponytail) to help cut my hair following your tutorial. The result was INCREDIBLY GOOD..................... and we are still speaking!
NeverEnding RoadTrip: "Based on the current circumstances of the world we live in" ... a year later, we are still here but looking for fresh ways to cut our own hair.
Alondra: Brad: I do recommend going to a stylist Me in the bathroom mirror mid break down:*skips to the cutting part*
Iaintlistening: Just followed your tutorial and it turned out fantastic. Took me ages to do the partings (had to make 6 instead of 4), as I didn’t have any help and my hair is long and thick, but it was so worth it :) The hairdressers where I live (small German city) can’t cut hair for the life of them, so from now on I’ll always do it myself. Thanks again for uploading this.
Lillie Manecke: My sister: I want my hair cut Me: I have to ask brad first Brad: Posts tutorial Me: He said yes
Just Somebody: I have been using this method for a year myself and my hair turns out perfect every time! Yesterday I cut my hair 3.5 inches and it ended up being a bit over my shoulders. I also bleached the underside of my hair and dyed it bright pink using everything I've learned from Brad as well!!
Marie Oy: I wanna see Brad put a wig on & cut his “own” hair
Katie Krull: Brad I’ve used this tutorial 4 times to cut my hair (from big chops to small trims) and it has been wonderful every time! You can’t even tell that I didn’t go to a salon. I’m going to keep doing it on my own from now on! Thank you!
Awesome Cat: I can't believe I went through with cutting my hair! I was nervous but I set my hair up exactly as you said and it worked out great! I'm so happy, thank you so much! I found that for me the key was point cutting and getting someone to help me tie the back sections of my hair.
JJGalz: Conspiracy: he’s making this video to encourage people to cut their hair so he has more videos to react to
Lea: When your anxiety is to bad for calling your hairdresser and making an appointment
Daubenton: So I gave it a try. My hair is lightly curled (parents are from North Africa) and I could not find a proper hairdresser where I live, because they don't care for ethnic hair. I cut, following instructions you gave. Turned out like a charm. Needless to say scissors make ALL THE DIFFERENCE. I did the back by myself, hoping for the best and I just asked my neighbour how the back looked. She told me it is amazing! Thanks Brad for making my life easier!
Gwen Jalbert Landeck: My sister and I just followed your tutorial to cut both of our hair! (it's been over a year because of quarantine) both of our haircuts came out great and my hair feels so much better because all of my split ends are gone. Thank you so much for uploading this!!!!
Stephanie Paul: I just did this. Had to go through like 3 different times. Make SURE the front and back sections are absolutely even, the first time, the front was legit like 2 inches shorter and it looked crazy. I finally got it to the point where you can tell it's not perfect, but it doesn't look awful haha.
Karol Geraldino: Brad Mondo: “ *NEVER* cut your own hair” Also Brad Mondo: “Imma teach you how to cut your own hair”
Nachowasherepoo: Me a latina with extremely thick and abundant hair: You know what, fuck it, if it turns out bad it grows back!
Red Rocks: I’m a super new follower Brad but I have to tell you that I can’t even express how much I appreciated this video! As a life long person who’s pretty much “hated their hair” & has always “gotten it done,” I actually just cut my own hair because of this amazing video & ya know what? It came out perfect because of your ability to make it easy, precise & fun !!! Like most things in life…math, picking out paint & cooking if we are never taught what the fu*#k is actually taking place during a hair cut (isn’t it funny how so many hair stylists turn you away from the mirror as their cutting your hair instead of explaining or educating you on what the “f” their doing??) or dye job?! Of course no one thinks to ever ask either? Is that why we come home after spending $300 & dislike what happened to our precious hair? I could go on & on but ultimately I just want to say, thank you! Now I have to watch ever freaking video you’ve ever made & I’m happy to be one of your almost 7 million followers…that’s insane btw?! Thank you, thank you, thank you!!! ❤️✨
Chinkyfist: Thank you so much for this video!!! Just finished following the tutorial right now to trim my long 26in hair down to 22in (yes, I know I needed those 4in off ) and touched up the ends nicely afterwards with your tips. It only took me 30min! I am immunosuppressed due to meds right now so I didn't want to risk going to a salon at this time. Your tutorial was very simple and easy to follow. I had no one to help me so I'm glad you shared tips on how to do the back. Whew! It turned out perfect! All I had were arts and crafts scissors but it was still really sharp and good to cut with. Thanks again! You're a life saver!
Blue Cat: This saveeeed my hair. Thank you Brad , for saving me. I thought of cutting a little bit of my ends and I did this having curls and obviously the thought came to my mind to straighten the hair so I could see better what I just did. Guess what, my hair was horrific, looked so uneven and you don’t wanna even imagine. I needed to save myself from that situation and hoped you posted some tutorial on how to cut your own hair. That moment I made the best decision to cut more of it cause it was awful. So this way I went form long and horrible cut hair to cutesy short hair. Thaaank you so much Brad , you just saved me. Now I’m feeling so me with my hair cut, cannot even put it in words, but I’m relieved and thankful. Thanks again bro
Lia Lines: I wish Brad would’ve done this exact video but on himself in a wig.
Michelle Brock: You're such a life saver!! I've watched your tutorials before cutting my daughters hair. Each time the cuts came out great. A million times thank you!!! They are both pleased with their cuts. We are still under safe home orders & children are not really allowed in establishments, unfortunately this includes teenagers. So once again thank you!!
Gaydin Duty: I just used your tutorial to cut my older sister's hair and it turned out SO CUTE!!!! It is absolutely perfect and I even got the layers perfect and it's all even and everything!! Thank you so much!
Jessica Donoghue: Thanks Brad! This is the best DIY hair cut I've done, other ones have left me with a round shape at the back or uneven. I literally chop my ends off when they start to get split ends so this is perfect. XxxX
Cassadee Reber: Followed this tutorial and I got the most amazing haircut of my life! I had both my mom and dad do it, and since I have thick hair I sectioned it into 6 instead of 4. Thanks so much! U are a hair saver brad ❤️
Azlyn's Mixed Media Arts: Anyone else wanna see him do this again but with a wig he's wearing?
avonee1976: I tried this on myself today and I was so happy with the results! My hair is actually in pretty decent shape and I’m natural (five years no relaxer) but I wanted to just make sure I keep it in good shape. This technique enabled me to retain my length but just clean my ends a little bit. My hair looks bouncy and healthy! I will definitely do this again in about three months!
SayHelloToOblivion: Holy cow. Thank you!!! My hair was to my waist and in serious need of a “trim”. It’s now right below my shoulders. I can’t remember the last time I’ve had it this short. I didn’t mean to cut it so short but it feels good and looks so much healthier. Thanks, Brad! You are a diamond! ❤️
Desiree Cowling: It's currently Nov 2021, I just used this process to cut my mom's hair and she LOVED it. Thank you for the help!
stephanie: I am so thankful I found you. My hair is unruly and naturally wavy and it’s grown down to my mid butt and I wanted to chop it all off in frustration. I found your video and followed it meticulously step by step. The entire process was smooth, easy, and a little therapeutic and my hair looks like I paid to have someone cut it! Ty so much for saving me from a hair disaster/ mental breakdown!
mason messler: i feel like he made this because he knows that everyone is going crazy in the quarantine and wants to cut their own hair lmao
Courtney Lawrence: Just used this method to cut my curly hair and it turned out great! I cut it in it's natural state and had to point cut a ton to make sure the ends weren't so chunky, but even with just the initial chop it was surprisingly even. Definitely would recommend!
Maria-Anna Georgiou: I’ve been cutting my hair since the start of quarantine following brads advice, always with a middle parting (even tho I wear it to the side), always came out real good! Last night, I decided to cut with the parting the way I wear it… big mistake.. left side shorter than right, had to ask my mum to even it out, my hair is now A LOT shorter than I normally have it.. idk how I managed to do this, but yeah… do with that what you will ♀️ professional cut it is
Tayler Gentry: Thanks, Brad for this tutorial! I used it to cut my hair from upper back length to just above the shoulders. I love it so thank you for this easy-to-follow tutorial!!!
Maria Nemashkalo: Thanks a lot! I did a haircut, two layers. Took off about 8-10 cm. Looks great! Greatly appreciate this video:)
savanah: This has the same energy as "if you're gonna drink, i'd rather you do it in the house"
Rob Theoret: I am a guy with long hair and this video saved my ass during quarantine. I was honestly shocked by how well it worked! Best demonstration I could find on YouTube. Thank you!
Natalie DeAmicis: Love this tutorial. I started using it during the quarantine and my hair turned out great! Now I use it whenever I want a little trim. Thank you!!!
Laura Shahidinejad: I love this tutorial, I’ve done it twice already and it definitely works if you do it right but I did need help from my mom, it wouldn’t be too nice/easy without someone else’s help
Ju Lia: I saw this at the time it was released, was too scared - just did it! It looks perfect!! Better than my £60 hair cut!! Thanks so much, Brad. ♥️
Cassie Díez: Brad, you're a week late I have already destroyed my hair and my sister's. Now my house has 2 Dora the explorers. Update: The hair has grown great (thankfully) I will never cut anyone's hair anytime soon.
Anita Angatookaluk: Omgggg! I followed this and my hair is amazing!! I had my hair down to my hips and now it’s just under shoulder length. I love it!!
Ann Y.: Just used this to cut my hair and my god it turned out lovely! I was getting a little scissor happy so I stopped but it looks really good for having done it by myself. Thank you Brad Mondo!!
Wild Cat: Hi Brad..I just wanna say I've never cut my own hair before and I followed ur video and cut it and it turned out perfect! And I'm happy with it I just didn't cut the layers at the front and didn't thin the ends cuz I like it that way. So.. Thank you (I chopped off half of my hair and got scolding )
flybynight x: hi, I've just taken the plunge and cut 4 inches off my curly hair using your video (I know you said it's not for curly hair) and I'm thrilled with it - it's not perfect of course, but feels so much better! - thanks!!
Captain Julien Meowington: "what a hair stylist is gonna do is really mold that haircut to your face shape and to your lifestyle and to just who you are." literally no hair stylist i've ever been to!
Hope Rose: Love this totally helped me cut both my daughters hair. I didn’t want to cut too much just cute trims and slight layering. It came out great! Thanks!
Anne Smith: Thank you! I did it and I love it! I have really thick, long (waist length), wavy hair, so it’s pretty forgiving. I took off about 6” and did a little face framing. It’s certainly not the salon experience, but my doll-hair dead ends are gone!
M K James: This is fantastic! Thank you, thank you, thank you! I guess a wash & wear lady with thin hair should only do one layer (after the length). I love the body from the undercutting. This video is a hair lifesaver for people with thin hair.
Claudia: Thank you Brad!! I'd never cut my own hair before, but I followed your tutorial to the T and the result is great. I had the same reaction as you when I took off the elastics - happy giggles because it turned out better than I expected haha. Thank you!
Mikey Truelove: Brad honey, I could’ve used this yesterday when I was dramatically giving myself bangs and dying my hair turquoise at 3am Edit: YouTube had the nerve to not notify me of all these comments omg, y’all are really concerned lmao. Results were actually pretty good!!
Tracey McLennan: This video was great! It’s the first time I have ever tried cutting my long hair myself and I was absolutely amazed with the results!
Scarlet Night: Thank you so much, you are awesome!!!! I currently have very short hair so I can't do this just yet, but can't wait to try this out when my hair grows out more!!! ❤ I really enjoyed your video, and all the information that you provide!!!
lxrd wander: I used this video to cut my hair yesterday and it came out so pretty! I had very long hair and cut about 6 inches off of it. It turned out so pretty :)
Milena Marshall: I just followed this video with the help of my husband and it worked! Thank you so much for making this video, it was easy to follow and had clear instructions. I was a bit concerned at first as I have more hair in the back of my head than the front, but everything came out even. Thank you, Brad!
Tamsin H: Brad, we are in a pandemic. I will be using the scissors I have had for seven years, clips that miss teeth and a broken mirror.
A: I have tried it and OMG it works! Make sure the sections on the sides are the same length with the ones at the back by moving them gently towards the back and comparing to their level. Otherwise you might end up with an uneven length at the back. The layering trick is so good too! ♥️
CRUNCHYBABY: Thank you Brad!! I did the hair cut tutorial at home just now! Amazed! I ended it before the last layering step because I tend to like a more blunt / thicker cut. I might go in later and do that last layering step if I feel I need it. So far I love it!!! :)))) let me tell how nervous I was, but totally worth it & uncomplicated if you follow steps exactly!
J F: Thank you so much for this video! We are still in semi lockdown and hairdressers are still closed, but was able to give my daughter a decent cut until they reopen. So appreciated!!
Jen H: Just followed this again for the 3rd time since covid started. It had got too long and looked scraggy as all hell. This time I took 4 inches off and am so happy with the results, as I have been every time. Literal hair saver xoxo

Callie Thompson: So I totally failed at the "don't cut yourself" part of the process but on the upside my sister's hair looks great! And I didn't even bleed in it!
Amanda H: I tired this today and love the outcome . I cut off at least 4 inches maybe more. Some trial and error getting all the sections even but turned out decently. Thanks Brad Mondo!!

Diane Y: Thankyou. I used this tutorial to trim/cut my six year old daughter's hair recently. It still looks great. It helped in saving money for just a trim especially since she just needs a simple hair cut.

Abby __: I’ve been cutting my own hair for three years! I get compliments and I’m finally getting tips from you this time around. I honestly only go to salons when I want my hair colored but I just saw your video about it and I’m tempted to try….I’m not working lol
Jen: I am SUPER pleased with how my hair turned out after following this video - as soon as you explained that pulling hair over the shoulder will give that weird V shape I was like, yes! because that's exactly what happened with the last tutorial I followed. Now that V shape is gone and I love how it looks!! Thank you!! ❤️✂️
Nder: well thought out and easy, great tutorial!
Lisa Coombs: This worked for me! Thanks Brad! Everytine I try to book a hair appointment theres a oter lockdown and My hair had gotten so long it was so annoying. Took my time like you said and am happy with the result considering I did it myself :)

The Makeupist: CONSPIRACY THEORY: make everyone cut their hair at home so that they absolutly need to go to the hairdresser once everything is over
Damnber_Jackson: My bob haircut was uneven towards the bottom, and this video saved me! My hair is a little longer than chin length, so it was difficult to adjust the hair ties without them falling to the floor...but it worked! Looks like a blunt chop now!!
Petra Grigoriu: I followed your instructions and my hair looks beautiful! Thank you
Miss Rose Noir: I learned the hard way how to cut lighten and dye my own hair properly. I definitely don't recommend it, but it was long before Brad graced us with his knowledge.
