    NOTE: One of my hairdresser told me about this haircut and this (goo.gl/R3SEd2) is the only video I watched on CZcams before cutting my hair. ✂️

    I am REFORMED!!!! I did this tonight and got the best haircut I’ve had... well, ever!
    I get SO tired of paying and explaining what to do to my curly hair to a stylist only to walk out with hair worse than before I came in. They just don’t seem to understand why we want our “V” and until yo break with naturally curly hair you don’t get it and it allows me to let my hair naturally air dry and my curls simply LOVE me for it!
    Thanks girl! And for those comments that say, “ go pay for a hair cut- in a stylist blah blah- then you’re probably the same person I pay that I get bad haircuts from- they just don’t get it.

      I'm getting ready to do this right now as I have the same freaking problem whenever I go somewhere and pay someone to cut my hair. The last one was the worst ever!! She cut like a bowl shape like half way up the length of my hair and then started going to town with the thinning shears!!! I said "NO" I do not want my hair thinned and she's like well I have to or it won't lay right, blah, blah, blah!! Well, I've heard and read somewhere that you never use thinning shears on naturally curly hair and this dumb ass did! Supposed to have been specially trained from somewhere but how the hell could she not know about thinning shears being a no no on curly hair? Never again. My hair is super long right now and I have to cut it because it's too long to do anything with, I'm an older woman so wearing my long hair down doesn't work for me anymore. I just want the vee shape and the length to be at my collarbone.

      I have curly hair but I've always just gotten my hair cut straight across (my mom cut it until last year, and I was very explicit that I didn't want it styled, just cut off the required amount to donate it.) Why is the V shape helpful?

    People in the comments be saying "use a wide tooth comb!" and I can agree that's a good idea, but only for initial detangle. She wanted to make sure to get the hair very straight and smooth together in a ponytail, and you do that with a BRUSH.

    My big sister is licensed cosmetologist/hair stylist. She has cut my fine mousy brown/wavy/curly hair since I was about 10 years old. Now I'm 48 and dang it if my sis up and moved to another state. NO! So I watched this video a few times and tried the KP-DIY cut method the first time Summer of 2018. I was so nervous. But I loved how it turned out. So I have used this method about every 2-3 months. It's time for my Winter cut and I don't get nervous anymore. However I had to figure out where I'd put the special pair of hair scissors after my last haircut! I love how I can do this cut myself and have not felt afraid I'd mess it up (not since trying it out for the very first time). I am always super eager to re-wash and style it after the cut, since it always reawakens my lazy curls. My supercritical big sister checked my work after the 2nd cut and totally approved, telling me I was doing fine with these cuts and that it looks nice. (She'd rather I cut my hair regularly even if I DIY it--than to just get in a funk because I don't trust others with my locks.) Yay, I don't have to let my hair grow wildly long and start to look ratty in her absence, nor do I have to shell out $$ to experiment with results from other hair stylists. And also, I love your cat Monkey!

    I am 54 and have always gone to a salon. I moved to a new town and can’t find anyone to do my mixed texture, graying in a fantastic way, old lady “do” - at least not like my former salon professional. 😩 So I screwed up my courage and did this cut. I was flippin’ brave...cutting 5” off and then relayering it with the steps you showed. It looks great! Thanks for your courage to try it AND to share it! You made an older lady’s day! Now I can budget that salon money elsewhere...
    BTW...conditioning my hair right now with coconut oil in a warm towel from the dryer. 🥴

    I just did this. It worked like a charm. I too, have curly hair. It has gotten thinner over time. It looks thick, but really isn't.
    Anyways. I have tried other methods. You know, parts on either side, tie off, cut straight accross. It never ended up looking nice.
    This method, however, really worked nicely. A lovely "v" at the back...healthier looking curls. The feathering after is a great tip...it makes the cut much less blunt.
    Anyways, thank you for posting. Cheers all the way from B.C. Canada....eh? 🍾🙂

    Thank you Kristen Emily! I watched over a dozen other videos! None were as straight forward and simple as yours. I have medium length hair with natural curl. I have always worn it long.

    I've been doing this for about three yrs (also have curly/ wavy hair) and it's by FAR the best haircut I've ever had! Hairdressers always cut either too much or my layers came out chunky (ugh) or I'd wind up with 3 hairs at the longest parts. With this, literally the best layers I've ever had! I had to do it for $$ reasons but now I do it because it's waaay nicer!

    I read some of the other comments here and I have to agree that whenever I go to a parlor, they don’t hear me and cut whatever they want to cut. Short, long, uneven, whatever. This time I did it on my own and had it checked by the hubby and it turned out quite alright. I live in Norway and services like this can be quite expensive so I saved around 50usd (just an ordinary cut, no wash or tip). Thank you! ❤️

    "I just out out a candle with my hair" 🤣🤣🤣 I just wanted to respond to all of the comments about brushing out your hair and give you a tip: For keeping the ends of your hair healthy and helping prevent breakage, while you have conditioner in your hair in the shower, use a vented shower brush (starting at the ends.) This sort of helps distribute the conditioner but also detangles it while it has some lubrication. You can also use a wide-toothed comb. Both can be found a Dollar Tree! 🌲

    I have wavy/curly hair and did this bc right before we got in quarantine I got my hair bleached so it was starting to look like a mess. Super dry and tangled even with my regular hair treatment. This tutorial was fabulous, thank you so much. Just as a tip to all girls, I initially cut it with vertical "strokes" not horizontal, looks more natural. Thanks again.

    Thank you for the video! I'm about to do my first unicorn cut because I don't have Deva Cut money and this was very helpful. I'm feeling a bit more confident about it now. I'm also about to check out the method you've linked to in some of the comments- my hair/scalp can't handle any product so I'd love to go product free. You have gorgeous curls!

    I just wish I had watched your video before my last hair cut. I have long curly hair, better yet, I used to have until yesterday when the hair stylist butchered and now is short with a lot of weird layer here and there. It was a horrific tragedy and I am very sad. I just wanted a V shape. Thank you for bring me hope. For now I am just wearing my hair up with a scrunchi. Maybe in a year from now I will do the “Kristen” style. I will for sure.
    Thank you Kristen ❤️

      Hey, I have tried this on my hair maybe a week ago. I did in 2 parts: First my whole hair then my pile, I love it! It looks way better when I did it myself instead of going to a hair salong, because when they did it, it was more like a sqare/U shape and not so much a V shape, witch wasen´t very flattering + it costs alot of money. No more hair salongs for me, I am gonna do it myself everytime I need to cut my hair. Thanks for the help, your hair looks so beautiful! :). And if you are not on the CG method, I could highly recommend that! The hair dosen´t get that damaged anymore and you can grow longer hair without the extra split ends. It has helped for me! :)

    @fromcalifornia2822 Před 4 lety +4

    When you trim more often it creates a smooth shaft so the natural oil in your hair can go down to the end (of the hair) when you brush it. If the shaft is split at the end the oil does not go to the end and the hair breaks off eventually at the split end point.
    Also, where your hair hits your shoulders (top) it also breaks off more often, particularly if the oil does not travel down to the end of the shaft.
    So, trimming your hair more often makes it stay on your head longer and it makes it look thicker.
    If you use conditioner and then use a strong or high pressure shower head you can negate using the conditioner. This washes out what it should plus what should stay in your hair. It causes the hair to be dry and break off earlier than it would otherwise. Some say “my hair doesn’t grow,” but what they should be saying is my hair does not stay on my head long. Btw, hair does grow in spurts.
    Another thing is if one wants long and thicker hair, always comb it out in increments from the bottom up.
    There is nothing worse than going to a beauty shop and the girl puts a comb in at the top of your head and starts “ripping” down. Even if there is conditioner in your hair it should not be weakened, stretched or broken off from improper combing every time your wash it.
    Another thing; some oils penetrate the shaft/follicle and others don’t. Argon oil (spell?) does, coconut oil not so much. Coconut sits on top of the hair shaft. And try to avoid oils/conditioners, hair treatments that have alcohol or non natural, as the first 3-5 ingredients.
    And finally, if your hair cannot stop being too dry even with treatments, stay in or otherwise, brush it the 100 strokes they taught girls and women for centuries. It carries natural oils to the end of your hair. If you do that you may not even have to trim it at all.
    Hope that helps.

Doesn't matter what you tell them - they're gonna do what they know how! I stopped going about 4 years ago....love my longer hair but it needs a trim and a shape so bad now! I'm going to try this - couldn't hurt!

      Yeah, most hairdressers don't have ANY idea how to cut curly hair. I haven't had my hair "professionally" cut in years. I usually do a part down the middle, braid each side, and then trim the ends so they're even. Boom, done. Once or twice a year is plenty, since I've been doing curly girl for over ten years at this point.
      I might give this a try next time, though.
