What NOT to Do When Giving Yourself a Pixie Haircut (I Accidentally Gave Myself a Buzz Cut)

- 10 mistakes to avoid when using clippers to give yourself a pixie cut. If you want to cut or clip your own hair - especially if you've never used clippers before - don't make the same mistakes I did! I watched a "Do It Yourself Pixie Haircut" tutorial on CZcams, and thought it it was as easy as it looks. I was wrong.
If you're a woman over 50, my pixie haircut tips might be especially helpful. The older we get, the shorter our seems to get! And if you're a woman who spends a lot of time on the road in her camper van (like me), you'll love the ease and freedom of a pixie cut. Or even a buzz cut.

I laughed so hard at this. She is awesome brave and funny!
I paid someone for my pixie and I hate it but seeing you made me feel better. Thanks for reminding me it’s just hair 😊
I’m only a few minutes in so far but damn, this is a well made video! More laughs per minute than a local comedy show! Bravo! Thank you for the laughs and life lessons! 🤣😂🤣👍
I just messed my hair up a few days ago. Afraid of hair stylists in my town. I figured if I mess it up, I haven't waiting weeks for an appointment, hours at the shop and over $100.00 wasted for slow service and a bad cut to have to go back home and correct it myself. In the back, I clipper cut my pixie too high and too short. If I had the right mirrors, this wouldn't have happened.
I'm buying mirrors so I can see the back. Glad I'm not alone on t his one.😢🎉🎉🎉🎉
I love this video!! I love how playful you are with cutting your hair and how happy you are about it 😊
BRAVO, brave lady! You attacked that hair with gusto and fearlessness! I SO MUCH appreciate you sharing your experience with us :)
I just stumbled onto this video as I search for and watch every possible pixie cutting video known to CZcams, and I wanted to just stop and say that I absolutely LOVE this and love your attitude and playfulness! Great video and I’m now subscribed, thanks for being you!
Your new haircut looks great, even if it was an educational experience!
This was very entertaining! You look great with almost no hair.
Nailed it lol. Got that look of who cares, I'm happy.
Really cute cut!! It was fun watching each step with you while experiencing a new do. Now you know a little more about your electric hair cutter than you did before! You have gorgeous hair too.
Thanks, Gloria. If hair didn't grow back, I might have been more careful. But I really do love the buzz cut, it's so easy and feels great. I may keep buzzing it all summer long.
Thank you so much for this vid. Thoroughly enjoyed it. In my case, I did not rewatch the video I had used before.
Okay but you are INSANELY BEAUTIFUL!!! 😍😍😍😍
Sweet, thank you!
first time with the haircutter is always an eye opening experience
Especially when you're the haircutter, & you don't know what you're doing! :-) First time for everything...
I laughed so hard !! But it's only hair !!
Your hair looks great that length!
Oooomy god Lmaooo you just saved me from making the same mistake lolol yeah I think I’ll go to the salon instead 🤣🤣🤣🤣 ty for sharing your experience 👍 great help
Thank you for being brave! I’m about to cut my own hair, and this was useful! You’re so cute!
My husband gives my two teen boys their haircuts every three weeks using the clippers with attachments and clippers over the comb cutting on the top and to blend the sides and back. He has told me that cutting their short hair to look good is easier than trimming my long hair. My mom watched him give my boys their haircuts one day, and commented that he does a great job, but it looked like too much work, she would just shave them bald. I also have a friend that had an overgrown pixie with a mullet thing on her neck that was bugging her big time a couple years ago and she asked if he could cut short hair, as it is more difficult than long hair. I pointed out that he gives my two teen boys their haircuts, and she said great, I want mine like my older teen. So he gave her a boy short haircut using the same techniques as when he cuts the boys’ hair. He took off a lot of hair, and she loved t, so did her husband. If he didn’t have the experience of giving each of my boys over a hundred haircuts each, I would have advised against it. So given your inexperience with the clippers, there was definitely a strong chance that you were going to wind up giving yourself a buzz cut.
Yes - I was going to add that to the video! That's part of why the experienced pixie cut demonstrators on CZcams make it look so easy. They've done it a few times, at least. Sounds like your husband does a great job. Maybe he should make a video :-)
Agreed, having experience makes all the difference. My husband always makes sure what is wanted before he starts cutting. Of course, with mine, my best friend’s long hair and my teen boys, it is same as usual. He starts with the larger number attachments up higher, then smaller numbers as he gets lower on the back and sides. We have never taken any video of him cutting hair, just photos after. I won’t even let him take pictures when I have henna on my head. I posted Pictures of my boys a few years back and mentioned how handsome they were with fresh haircuts and a friend who is a stylist commented that she really liked the haircuts and that she should learn to use clippers. I thought her comment was odd, as being licensed, you would think that is a tool she would know how to use. We do have a GoPro camera, so if one of my friends was ok with it, I could do a video, but I am not sure that they would be ok posting it on the internet. Maybe if they had their own channel and wanted it for content, that would be a possibility.
best 5 mins of my day watching this! LOVED!
You look so good w buzzed haircut..love it
I feel it looks great. You left the back and sides which softens it.
😂 this was so funny
"Uh oh", "we have come this far" 😅
Your awesomeness knows no bounds! You are a soulsista!🤩😍🥰
Oh gosh. I gave myself a pixie last week. Wish I would’ve watched your video before hand because the exact same thing happened to me😢 please listen to her!
Hats are great ways to cover up botched pixie cuts 🙂
That was hysterical 😆I too, hate to read directions! Just do it!
Can I do yours next. Darin? ;-)
@@LaurieSheBlossoms Absolutely! I'll be right over! 😉
I just cut mine, but I covered the sink with newspapers so it wouldn't go down the drain, lol!
it actually came out pretty good 👍
This was hilarious! I can't believe you actually cut your hair this short for the video! You should see what I've done to my cat with the shaver, haha!
You have really honorly reflected your doing! 😃Great job! 😄👏
I did the buzz. Many years ago and ended ip with a crew... aaagghhh.
It grew, everything was fine, didn't leave the house in daylight for 3 months.
Everything was fine it grew...
Hats! I've always loved wearing hats, and absolutely adored them after I buzzed all my hair off 🙂
LOL! ❤😂 I did something similar when I decided to try the electric trimmer on top.
Let it grow back a bit more. You are so lucky to have that much hair. But you look great in a short cut.
You look lovely with short hair!
Good job. I cut mine myself all the time. Never even..don’t care
I am pro hairstylist except for the buzz LOL it look's good on you will grow out fuller and trendy
Thanks! It's already about an inch long, and I'm missing the buzz cut. I'm on the road and even an inch of hair can get oily fast. I don't think I'll buzz it again but I'm glad I did. It was a good experience.
great vid! love the buzzcut:)
Oh I have missed your voice. I love the cut!
Tara, great to see you here! I miss your voice too -- I often think of how I used to visit you in the home economics/cooking room at Rosslyn. I'll be in Colorado in July...any chance you'll be there? Maybe PM me on FB if it's easier. xoxoxo
You are brave! It's cute and it'll grow :)
Thanks! It'll grow, and I'll keep cutting it! I really do like it short. I thought a short cut felt good, but this is a whole new level of feeling wonderful! Free.
If you're going to do a DIY haircut even a buzz cut, watch LOTS and LOTS and LOTS of videos before you even pick up that shaver! I've been cutting my own hair for years (usually into a pixie) but I've studied hours of videos before I start cutting. "It's only hair" is an OK thought process if your hair grows quickly. Mine doesn't so I take more time to study before I cut. Instructions on your particular shaver are there to help you use it. 👍👍
You are a hoot!
Thanks, Laurie! Though I daresay all "Laurie's" are hoots :-) xo
Fun video and cute cut!💓
Thank you! It was a fun video to make, and I actually really like the cut. I'm surprised, but I'll keep it buzzed for a few months at least.
xo
Beautiful 💕
New Tofino owner. Love your videos Laurie!
Thanks, Bigfoot. With a name like that I have to assume you're Canadian...but I also know what assuming does (makes an ass out of me) 😊 Welcome to the Tofino family!
Your great awesome to watch and I live the " ohh"
Thanks Sheila, it was a fun video to make! Now, if only I could find a way to make an interesting video of my hair growing back... 😊
I really like alot! It looks very good on you 💕nice work
Thanks! Once the bald spots grow out, I'll like it too :-) Still have to level it out, so it's even.
xo
That's 🤣🤣🤣 crazy. It takes time and knowledge to achieve cutting your own hair. At least you were quite jovial.
I try not to take life too seriously 😊 And in the grand scheme of things, a buzz cut isn't serious at all!
😊❤ 2:06 still cute as a button
When does part two come out?
I haven’t thought about Part 2! Other than “her hair grew back, and she lived happily ever after.” 😊
@@LaurieSheBlossoms Well, I was just thinking that a part two might be a fun idea where all of the lessons learnt in the first part was applied...
If not, wish you all the best...
Good thing that you are happy with your buzzcut, as there is not anything left to fix. Given that was your first time using the clippers, you should have had someone help you.
Ha ha! "There's nothing left to fix" -- that's great, I love it. That's my favorite place to be. I can start fresh :-)
Well, you experienced buzzing your head, but for the way ahead as your hair grows, whether you decide to grow out your hair and manage a short haircut or keep it buzzed off.
To cute and funny lady
❤
Que has hecho ?
Just dodged a bullet thanks to this video.
Crazy bold mu friend
Thanks, Michelle! It was actually a lot of fun :-)
guessing you are going to cut it really short and this is just a bit f fun. You wouldnt actually cut the crown with clippers for a pixie
Are those whips hanging on the wall to the right? 😮
Nope, those aren't whips - they're necklaces! I'm not a whippy girl 😊
You're so cute.
Noooooo......!
Omg! 😱😱😱😱😱😱😱😱😱😱😱😱😱😱😱😱😱😱
My sister, pay $20 for a pro!!!
Can't get a pro cut in my town. Still trying to find one. Those cheap clip places always mess up my hair.
you missed one of the most imprtant: understanding how to fade and how fading works. 😁😘💜
