  • How to cut your own hair at home!
    I was feeling so bored and fed up of my long hair and felt like it was limp and lifeless so I decided to give myself a makeover!
    The most important thing when cutting your own hair is symmetry, you want to make sure that the hair is the same length on both sides so that you're not let with a crooked lopsided haircut so checking each section after cutting it is a must.

    Finally! Layers on thick hair, light color hair! I have tailbone length hair that’s super thick and strawberry blonde. It’s hard to cut and not show any mistakes. This tutorial is well explained and easy to follow! Can’t wait to cut my hair now!

    So strange how I always thought 90's hair looked so dated and bleh, and now that I'm seeing my generation and younger embrace it, it's started looking amazing to me XD Beauty and fashion ideals are truly so evanescent and I love it.
    Your cut looks beautiful. I'm just going to show this video to my hairdresser lol.

    Thank you for finishing the tutorial. I would appreciate a more detailed one. I was obsessed with this haircut since I saw your tiktok. I wanted it so bad, but having my hair done isn't really an option right now, cause I lost my job and my ass is broke lol. Soooo, I really wanted to try to cut it myself, but I was apprehensive of finding a tutorial. And then you come to save the day! I've been cutting my fringes and doing slight trims for years, as well as doing my mom's and grandma's haircuts, so hopefully I won't mess this up 😅 Gonna pop in and say how it went when I do it!
    Upd: I did it! And honestly, I'm in love 😍

    Thanks for showing people how to cut their own hair at home THE RIGHT WAY!! Instead of just putting it in ponytails and chopping it with kitchen scissors like so many tubers have been doing. As a stylist who's fixed a couple of those " CZcams butterfly cuts" those really irk me 😂
    You're explaining what, why and how. I don't have the guts to cut my own hair but if I did I would trust this tutorial over all the other ones out there. I'm assuming you're a stylist or have a very close relationship with one?
    Note to anyone watching this: you should check out your local beauty school for a good, cheap haircut. They have instructors with decades in the biz who oversee everything so you get a quality service at a fraction of the price.

    Hi Rachel thank you so much for an amazing tutorial, this is sol helpful!! Question - I'd like to have the layers (last part of the video) a little less pronounced at the back, and sort of confined to the bottom 2 inches of the hair (to try and preserve as much overall length as possible). Can i achieve this by holding the 3 sections horizontally outward instead of holding them vertically above my head, thus reducing the gradation of layer? Or what would be the correct way to do it?

    I've been trimming my own hair for a while now, since watching this tutorial. Looks pretty good for a DIY cut. I am wondering though, about the inside pieces, just above the ear. The are currently longer, and sometimes come forward and kinda don't look right with the face-framing. But then I'm scared to cut them off, in case that part is supposed to have length.

    Hello! I love your videos! My only question is, how would it change things if my hair isn't parted in the middle, but a bit to the side?
    Because there would be more volume on one side, especially around the face... I don't want to mess up the layers...

    • @Rachelmckeown
      @Rachelmckeown  Před rokem +16

      Heyy, thanks so much!
      It does make it a bit more confusing but if you part your hair as you usually would and then start on the narrower side (ie the same side as your parting) as this hair will lie flatter.
      Then decide how short you want your shortest layer to be and take note of where that layer sits in relation to a specific feature of your face, e.g. cheekbone, chin, collarbone however you prefer.
      Now for the other side, brush your hair as you normally would, so that the hair is sitting where it would fall naturally if it were dry and following along from that feature you’ll be able to work out where to cut your your shortest layer.
      If you brushed all of your hair from your hairline forwards, one side will be longer than the other but that’s because that hair needs to travel further to get to that specific feature so that’s to be expected! Don’t worry if they seem uneven!
      I hope that makes sense, it’s a bit difficult to explain in writing! ☺️
