They Kept Cutting Until This Happened

How bad can a DIY haircut get until it becomes unsalvageable? Hi, beautiful. You look ravishing today. Today, we're watching people cut their own hair with way too much confidence. I'm breaking down exactly where it goes wrong and whether any of it can still be saved. Let's get into it. I will be cutting my hair today and I will be cutting it very, very short. Am I professional? No. Have I accidentally shaved my head on the internet before? Yes. I don't think I've seen this video before, but it looks very familiar. I think she color her hair last time. What was it, you guys? >> Um, so this is what my hair looks like right now. It's [music] actually very pretty. >> Why are we cutting this hair? No. [screaming] Why? Why? Why? [music] >> It is so luxurious. When she took out that hair, I was like, like, oh my god, it is so thick, [music] so luscious, so healthy. I'm sad. Okay, I'm already sad. >> It's very healthy. It's mostly virgin hair. At the very ends is like processed dyed hair. But 95% of my hair is virgin, never dyed. I don't even really put heat on it cuz I don't have time for that. Um hair. It's very shiny, very healthy, very pretty, very [music] thick. You keep on naming reasons why we shouldn't cut it. I want to know the reasons why we are cutting it. Please. >> So, for the first time in my life, I'm not cutting my hair because it is damaged or [music] breaking off or ugly or I'm balding. It's literally just because I want short hair. I love me a cute short hair. This is the inspo pick we're going for. Yeah. Yeah. >> We're cutting all of her hair off. She's doing like a full-on pixie cut. Holy [ __ ] >> And this is what I want to do. He says office kitchen supply. Oh, well, I'm already here. No wonder they were so cheap. I was wondering why shears were so cheap. >> Great. We're using kitchen scissors [music] instead of real cutting scissors for hair, which is going to be much more dull than real cutting scissors. It will do the job just fine, but obviously would rather her use real hair cutting scissors. Especially cuz she has such thick hair. Like cutting through this is going to be a pain in the ass. To >> be honest, I don't really know where to start. Um, I know I should section this part off cuz it's like the top of my head and like very important, you know, >> and a dream is the highlight here. Doing a pixie cut on this thick of hair would be hard for even a hairdresser to do. The hair is so thick that if you put any wrong cuts in there, it is going to show immediately. [music] It's going to be like cut mark right there. So, hopefully there's a lot of elevation. Hope there's a lot of layering. And hopefully there's some thinning shears, which there isn't cuz she already showed what she got and she did not get thinning shears. Flip that out the way. And then I'm going to do just a ponytail moment. I mean a split down the middle. Wait, this is actually the pressure is getting lesser. Okay. And then we're just going to do like two ponytails. >> Okay. >> We're just going to full send it cuz if I don't cut it, then that's it. >> Goodbye long healthy hair. See you later. >> See you later. I love that. >> Okay. I want to make sure you guys have a good angle. All right. First chop. First chop. >> No, [groaning] don't do it like this. I think she's going for like an undercut. I don't know. The thing she showed was a pixie cut, which is kind of layered, like 90° layers in the entire head. The middle part of that ponytail is going to be very short, like a half an inch. And then all the hair from here overdirected back is going to be very long. And same with the hair back here. Because everything's going into this middle ponytail, that's not going to be easy to cut. Um, if you want to just get rid of some hair overall before you start really going in and cutting, just pick up pieces and cut. That'll be the best way of doing this. >> Okay. Okay. Okay. Okay. Commit. Commit. Commit. I'm going to [music] need some commitment from you, Christina, right now. >> Commit to the bit. >> To the bit. After this, there really is no going back. So, we're just going to >> Oh my god. Wait. Holy [ __ ] >> Yo, look at how much hair. That's an entire head of hair for [music] one person. Actually, it's more hair than I have my entire head in that one ponytail. >> I committed. >> Yeah, you did. >> Ooh, I [ __ ] up already. >> Did you think it was going to look good? Cuz no. >> Oh [ __ ] Gosh, [laughter] it's okay. All right. >> Okay. So, how are we going to make this better? How are we going to make this at all better? Because now we're just cutting random pieces of I'm glad you cut the mullet off, though. I was kind of digging that vibe with the the short and then the mullet on the bottom is kind of cool. We got to layer it. So, if you want to do this right, I don't think you want to, but I'm going to tell you how. Anyways, you would take sections like slices like this. Okay? Elevate. Cut at [music] 90°. cut all over. Everything is the same length. It'll look really pretty and it'll have a nice bevel to it. It'll make your head look nice and round and you can style it in that finger wave thing you showed us earlier. >> Why does this always happen when I cut my hair? I have this kind of section that's like that was way too much hair to cut. But >> yeah. [music] >> Oh well. >> Girl, now we have short pieces [music] in the random center of the side of your head. Random as hell. That looks painful in a lot of ways for your hand and your hair and everything. Everything's pulling, I'm sure. And those scissors are not strong enough by any means. >> These scissors suck. >> Yeah. [sighs] >> Like, let's just both take a breather. >> I really [ __ ] up by getting these [ __ ] scissors. They suck. chalking at my hair. >> Oh, this is going so poorly. Oh god. >> Come on. [clears throat] Cut. Literally. Come on. God. [music] It's not cutting, guys. It's not cutting. That's hella uneven. Oh, that feels so good, though. Oh my god. I'm crazy. >> It cut. It finally cut. That was the most stressful 3 minutes of my entire life. I hated every second of it. Please get better shears next time. That was horrible. >> Okay, I forgot low key to press record for y'all, but >> Oh, that looks [ __ ] crazy. That looks awful. Wow. Don't ever do that again in your life, please. >> I'm basically just trying to make it even. >> It's just that these scissors are really bad. They're like really bad at cutting. You saw that? And there's so much hair on my lap. I even have hair in my lip gloss. I'm really scared about the top though. >> It's not getting any better. She just keeps on taking pieces and cutting them and it's not looking remotely better. This is already too short and completely uneven. I'm definitely interested though to see what she does with the top of her head because that still has to be cut. Okay, let's just leave my hair like this cuz then I can like pretend I still have hair, but it's just not as thick. It's thin. Like, this is what thin hair would be >> for me. >> Honestly, kind of cute. Let's just ignore what happened underneath there and let's leave it like that. I think that's a better idea. What do you guys think? [laughter] >> Maybe not. For the top, I'm kind of going to just freestyle it, which could be totally dangerous, but also like you see my techniques I'm using. [clears throat] >> No, absolutely not. We need scissors that work. And oh my god, I've never seen anybody just pick up their hair like that and cut it an inch from the root without even giving a [ __ ] And I love it. >> I am clearly not a professional. No, >> this is clearly not a tutorial. >> No. God damn it. >> So, if you decide to follow this, that's amongst your own free will. >> What would they be following? It's quite literally nothing to actually follow here. You're literally just taking random pieces and chopping them off. Though, this technique is better than the one we just had with the ponytails because now she is kind of cutting the sections at 90° in a little bit of a way. is not as precise as a hairdresser would do it, but she's getting that short layering going on, which I can see happening in the back. >> Oh my god. >> Uhoh. >> Uh-oh. Okay, we cut one side. Now we're going to cut the other. I love that she's not panicking at all. Like, she's confident still. She's running through this and just chopping [ __ ] up. You might as well shave it at this point. >> Oh my god. >> My husband probably thinks I'm insane. >> I can't get over how much hair she's cutting. >> Let me see if there's like any I'm sure there's like some pieces where they're still pretty long. Let me just cut any stragglers. Regroup and I'll come back to you guys. Okay, this is literally all of my hair. >> You're telling me she's done? That's the cut. Ain't no way. >> It's been about a month. So, we have a month of growth here. I guess this is my first update, but this is kind of like one of the main styles I've been wearing my hair. I basically just like flatten it down, part it down the middle usually, and then do a few swoops in the front. Is it completely even in a professional cut? Obviously not. I'm not a professional. Do I love it? Yes. Yes, I do. >> So, that's the result. That's it. That's all she wrote. She is so beautiful that like the haircut somehow looks fine on her. But god, it is a mess. It's like she turns to the side. There is long hair everywhere that shouldn't be there. There's a kind of a mullet in the back. I don't know what the hell is going on. I mean, it would be pretty easy to just make this a little bit better with just a few more cuts, you know, just a little bit more of that 90° angle, cutting it all around. Don't ever do that again. Please, just And thank god you get the face card to pull us off cuz [music] it would have been bad. It would really been bad. And for that, I'm gonna have to give you a two on the mango reader. >> Hi guys, I'm cutting my hair. My hair is like very beautiful right now. Like I love the way that it looks, but my goal is shoulder length. I think that'll look really cute. I'm very nervous. Why am I never nervous whenever it comes to cutting my hair? >> Another person with absolutely gorgeous thick hair. Ooh, this is going to be pretty. She's doing a bob. I think >> I looked up a whole bunch of different videos on how to do it. A lot of it says to straighten your hair. I'm just going to cut it like this. And I'm not going to cut it wet. I'm going to cut it dry. I'm following the Brad Mondo method. >> All right, Brad Mondo. I don't know which method she's talking about, but we're going to find out. >> Where you put it [music] into ponytails and then kind of get it like right behind your ear. This is not going to be perfect. And that leaves like all of this, which is a lot of hair. >> I know the one now. I do. I It was the one length cut tutorial of mine. This one where I put it into ponytails and I cut everything straight across. Great. I know some of y'all out there love a on one length haircut. Couldn't be me. I don't love a one length haircut. I love layering. It just adds sexuality to the hair. It makes it I don't know. I just love it. >> So, I think I'm going to separate this into [music] two pieces as well. Realize I just kind of jumped into this. Like, I am so ready to cut my hair short. This is something I've been wanting to do forever now, but I've always been like so nervous and so scared to. Can I also just say I love when you guys [music] post YouTube videos. Can everybody make more YouTube videos? Like I know everybody's about the short form life, but can we make YouTube videos again? I love watching them and I love seeing you guys do to your hair. >> So I'm happy that I am actually doing it. But [music] these back ones, I am kind of pulling it more towards like in the back of my head and then putting the rubber band. Not cutting this much. >> Exactly what she said. Do exactly that if you've ever tried this haircut. We got to make sure the back is straight down and then we put the elastic in when it is straight down our back. We don't want to pull it forward or direct it anywhere because the moment we do overdirection, what happens, guys? We add length [clears throat] when it's overdirected. We want to just direct it right from the place it lives. Boop. Right down. >> I kind of like pulling it, seeing if it's [music] like even these two. I'm so nervous. Oh, that's too low. Now, another thing is like don't pull it like this because then that is not going to turn out great. All right. So, from the back [music] these two even. >> Yay. She's so smart. Like I love this. She's like, "Don't pull it when it's forward like that." Not a good idea. Exactly. Don't pull it any way. You start pulling the hair when it's forward like that, you're going to have overd direction issues and you're going to end up with weird long pieces throughout the head. >> We're just going to do this. This is like definitely longer than I want it to be, but we're just going to test it out. So, here we go. >> Cut above the elastic. It's there to catch the hair for you guys. You make it so hard for yourselves. >> I'm also not tugging my hair. Oh my goodness, y'all. I love doing this. You see how like choppy that is? So, now I'm just going to kind of even it out towards more straight. All right. >> Chop. Cha churoo, baby. Oh, this is looking nice. Yeah, look how blunt those ends are. Oh, they're so healthy. >> Now, the ultimate test. See how bad I did. So, it didn't come out bad. It's definitely choppy as you can see. >> That looks wonderful. If you want steps in your hair, it's okay. Something went wrong. And I think the elastics were at a bit different heights. Plus, we cut below the elastic, which makes you add a little bit more length. Just don't do that. >> I'm going to try to like fix it up from like right [music] here to make it straight. >> How does it look? >> It looks very jagged. She had extremely thick hair. This is the problem. If you don't put layers in your hair when it's this thick, you're going to always see issues like this unless you get it professionally done cuz you just can't make it that straight yourself. It's too hard. >> So, I saw with the back here that it definitely [music] No, I do kind of like the U thing that it was going for, but no, no, no, no. We're We're [music] not doing that. So, now I'm going to try this method where I just kind of cut it across. >> Wet your hair. You have so much wave in your hair right now that I don't think is there every time you style your hair. Please. >> I found that that helped [music] a lot. Kind of help make it more straight. Okay. I found that that helped. I think the rubber bands did work, but I think like just using that to get the length off and then doing this to shape it up, I think is the best bet here. Okay, that did not come out half bad. So, how's the back look? Is it like pretty okay? Wow, that like did not turn out as bad as I thought that it was going to. >> Wait, she really tore. Something went very right there. She really cleaned that up perfectly cuz the back even looks nice and scoopy. Whoop. Like a little bit of this. It's just really nice. >> All right, we're going to do this again. I've heard that if you have thick hair, doing like instead of four rubber bands, doing six to eight [music] is better. >> What do you mean again? We just made it perfect. Why are we doing it again? I guess that is a good technique to use, right? Like, so if you're going really short, test out your cutting skills first on a longer length and then go shorter after once you feel more confident. She's on to something actually. Oh. >> Um, and I think eight is really going to work for my hair. Like I don't have thick hair, but I have a lot of thin hair, if that makes sense. I have them all in now. >> You have thick fine hair is what you would say. >> Now I'm going to make it the length that I want. I think I'm going to try to aim to cut [music] at my collar bone. Take two. >> I wish you would cut above the elastic. >> Um, let me put this back up. Oh my goodness. Oh, that looks horrible already. Those came out pretty straight. >> I was going to say when you were cutting it, you legs don't look the same. One of them was like that long. One of them was that long. It was kind of just all over the place. Babe, what the hell happened? >> Ooh, but that's that's bad. That's bad. >> Oh, one section is an inch longer than the other. Explain yourself. Oh, Nelly. Oh my goodness, that's bad. Okay, let's see if I can like even this out the same way that I did last time. I'm just GOING TO >> GO ACROSS. >> WHOOPS. What happened there? >> All right, so it's not all [music] one length, but I'm not horrified by what it [music] looks like. You know, it's like wonder if I just pull it to the front and kind of just like, you know, whack it here. >> She's going in. She's putting in the work to get this all nice and even. And it is working. I feel like it is getting much more even as she keeps cutting. So, that's good. And it's not getting that much shorter, which is the thing you need to watch out for when you just keep on cutting. It gets shorter and shorter and then all of a sudden it's like an inch shorter than you wanted it. Yeah. >> Here is all my hair. I cut like a good bit off. little [music] snippets, but I cut like a good bit off. >> Yeah, you did. >> I'm proud of myself. >> Oh, that is a lot of hair. Damn. >> One last thing before I let you go. Look at how cute this is. So, I just got out the shower. Yeah. Like, this looks so cute. And like it's still wet right now, but I'm hoping that it'll hold my curls a lot better being that it'll it's like [music] short. >> Oh. [laughter] Oh, I love that she's so happy with the cut. That makes me so happy. I love when I can help provide a skill to you at home to your own hair so that you feel more confident. That's literally all I've ever wanted. Thank you for trying out my haircut. It looks wonderful with the waves. It's so beautiful. The only thing I'm going to say is, of course, like I always say, I want layers in your hair. It will also help these curls stay curlier and look more sort of rounded. But if you don't want that style, totally get it. You know what finishes look perfectly? The iconic wavete wave foam. Ooh, it will give her hair crunchfree waves [music] of her dreams and will look so fresh and delicious. And if you want to buy some X model for yourself, make sure to check us out with the links below. So pretty. And you did such a great job. I'm going to have to give that a solid five on the modern meter. Today's video is sponsored by Lifen, my love, my life and I have been partnered for literally years and I love them so much. Their hair tools are incredible. This is the new Swift 4 hair care dryer and it is sick. It has this beautiful premium aluminum body, the iconic LED light ring, and this brand new innovation called the oil nourishing nozzle. It is so cool. It's designed to dispense oil through the airflow while you blow dry right through here. And of course, I had to put this new blow dryer to the test. First, let's do the normal routine, right? We blow dry the hair, then we put the oil in our hands and put it all throughout the hair. That's the typical routine with the Swift 4. That is all incorporated into one single step. So, here you can see me rough drying the hair as usual, but with the oil diffuser also attached. The warmth of the air through the blow dryer helps expand the hair fiber so that that oil can reach deeper into [music] the hair strand. I'm using my HydroFi smoothing oil because it smells so good and it's so luxurious. Then, I just attach that nozzle to the dryer and it goes click cuz it's a magnet and it's sick. I switch the dryer into hair care mode. This blowdryer also has a negative ion technology which helps reduce static for smoother, sexier, glossier looking hair. Life describes this as getting healthier looking hair with every single use. So, let's look at the results. Our normal routine versus the new one with the Swift 4. On this side, the normal routine, it's looking good, but it's not looking as good as it could. On this side with the Swift 4, ooh, this looks good, shiny, healthy. So, if you want to bring home that spaike experience [music] and that nourishing treatment, Swift 4 is for you. Visit Life's official website or Amazon using the links right down below. This is sexy as hell. Now, let's get back to what you came here for. Holy [ __ ] this woman got 3.7 million views on this video. I follow Brado's butterfly cut tutorial at home. Terrified. Better get a good transformation here. >> I'm never really happy with the way my hair turns out at the salon. So, today I thought I would try Brad Mondo's butterfly cut on my over 60 hair. [laughter] >> Why am I so excited? >> Now, I do have bangs that I'm working on growing [music] out into more of a curtain bang. They're not there yet. So, this is going to be a butterfly cut with [music] bangs. We'll see how it goes. >> I am so happy to see her cutting her hair because these ends have seen better days. Let's be honest, guys. Come on. Let's be honest. They need a little trimmy trim. I think this is going to lift her up because this hair is a little down at the [music] bottom. It's a little bit like weighing her down. This is going to bring aireriness to her. So, the supplies you need for this haircut are a hair detangler, two ponytail holders, a fine tothed comb, a detangling brush if you have it, and a [music] pair of scissors. >> Wow, she is so prepared for this. And those hair cutting scissors couldn't be any smaller. Go off. But damn, those are tiny. Teensy tiny. That's like you got like an inch to work with big. I prefer bigger ones, but like do you, you know? >> And the first thing Brad says is that you [music] need to have very wet hair. Mine obviously is not. So, I'll be right back. >> He also suggests putting in a leave-in conditioner or detangler. >> She wet her hair. Yes, >> that is great news, you guys. Next time she should use Hydri brings that life back to your hair. Um, definitely love that she's using a hydrating mist because this is going to help her detangle her hair and easily work through it and put those ponytails up rather than kind of ripping her hair out like I see so many of you guys do when you try to put these ponytails [music] up without any conditioning mist or anything. So, that's awesome. >> And then I'm brushing through my hair to make sure that there are no tangles before [music] I get started. Now, it's very wet, dripping wet, and that's what you want. All right, so the first thing you need to do is find the apex. And I'm [music] just going to use this comb. If you set a comb on top of your head while you're looking straight ahead, where the comb balances is [music] the apex. >> Some of y'all were good students in school, I can tell. And some of you not as much. I know she's got that apex. She's got that hair brush. She's got everything lined up perfectly for the best braondo butterfly cut possible. >> And behind your ear. And pull that hair [music] forward. And then that goes back. And then from the apex again and down to [music] behind the back of the other ear. And that comes forward. >> She made that sectioning look so easy. And yes, to me it's easy. But to so many of you, I see people struggle with just making that section from here to here. It can be easy. Right in the front of the head. >> That one might be a little far back. >> And I lied. And what the hell is that? Cuz that looks crazy. I know we can do better than that. I gas up a lot and then down the hill we went. Let's get that line a little straighter, guys. We definitely want to be nice. Not like absolutely perfect, just nice. [music] And we want to go right here to right here. Or else you're going to have issues where the layering is in the wrong place. >> I feel like I have too much. >> Yeah, I was just going to say that's way too much hair in the front of your head. >> There. That feels better. >> I went too far back. So, [music] maybe do this one a little bit. And now you're going to take this hair. This is when it's helpful to use your brush. And all of this is going [music] to come forward. You're you're directing all of this hair forward. >> The brush is not quite doing the job because the bristles are so spread apart and so flimsy. I think at this point she can definitely transition to a comb and get this much smoother. Hopefully she does. >> I'm using [music] a different brush. My hair is really fine. If you have really thick hair, you might need that. >> Thank god we changed the brush because that was not working and it was looking crazy and now it's looking a lot better. detangling brush, but I don't have a lot of hair, so I was having trouble grabbing it all and getting it pulled over. You want it really, really smooth. I watched him reacting to people doing this, and the the number one thing I think I saw him saying was that they were placing it wrong on their forehead. Most people were putting it here. You want it between your eyebrows. >> Yes. >> If you go too high with it, then you're going to get little bitty tiny bangs and they're going to be much shorter than you want. Exactly. You guys, you have to think about it like where you put it here. Okay. If you're cutting that [ __ ] really short, your bangs are going to start there, right? This is kind of a rounded layered haircut. You're going to get a lot of beveling around the face, a lot of good face framing. So, if you put it here and you cut short, you're going to get [ __ ] baby bangs. That's not going to be cute. >> Okay. Now, the back one, [music] the back section, you want to bring that ponytail straight up. You want to get it as high as you [music] possibly can. >> And she put it up a bit too high. The thought was there. All right, we're getting that back ponytail in. Really directing it high up like Miss Ariana Grande. Now, for this front section, [music] you want to pull and carry it forward following the line that it's [music] already taking. You don't want to cut it down here. You're redirecting it. And then you want to keep the direction going. You're going to use your fine tooth [music] comb and comb all of those hairs going in the right in the same direction. And you can see I don't have a ton of hair. But you want to make sure that you cut the same amount off the front that you do the back. And so I think I'm going to go with >> before she says it. Just make sure you cut enough off. Please tell me you're going to cut enough off. I don't really know what that means, guys. Maybe I should give like a suggestion. An inch is not enough. This is about an inch. Two fingers. 2 in. I would say that's enough. More than that, definitely enough. >> Three fingers. [music] I know it's not a lot, but you can always cut more. You can't put it back on. [music] So, I am going to I have all of this. I'm going to pull it out in [music] the direction that that ponytail was already going. I've got about three fingers worth. And I'm going to cut above my fingers because then you can hold on to the hair. >> Oh my god. All those dead ends just in her fingers like that. Just get the [ __ ] you get out of her head. >> A lot of people will point cut it. I mean, I guess you can. I don't know. He said, "You don't really just kind of stay there." >> She was about to trigger me because she was about to point and she goes, "He says don't do it, but I'm going to." You see, everybody just wants to do they're like, "Let me [ __ ] it." He said, "You don't really need to because it's already overdirected so much that the point cutting doesn't [music] really do anything. And then if you want, you can take it out and see what you've got. And if it's not enough, you can do more." I think it's going to be enough cuz I don't want it to be super short. But you can see already how I've got some face framing going. >> I'm excited to see this in final look because the front already looks fire. I know you guys probably aren't seeing the vision yet. Just wait. You're going to see the vision come to life. It's all going to be like whoop. So far the front obviously where it's wet, guys. It's wet. She has hair that's on the finer side. It's going to look great when it's blown out. You got to you got to wait for the [ __ ] And let's make sure we do the back the same way though. Huh. >> You take the back pony, >> right? >> And you're going to comb it straight up. I'm going to back up so you can see a little better. [music] And you just want all of those hairs going in the same direction, nice and straight. Clamp it with your fingers. Follow the scissors with your fingers. I want about three fingers. So, I'm going to come down just a little bit further. >> I'm glad she only came down a little bit further because she got to cut those dead ends off. Like, she got to cut more off the back than the front. The back looks like it doesn't have any layering in already. And the front looks like it did have layering already. [music] So, we got to overcompensate for that. >> And now, since I've got my fingers clamped, now I can move the hair to where I can see what I'm doing. And [music] I can cut above. >> You're going to cut those knuckles right off. The knuckles stick out a little bit on your hands. You don't want to cut above. You want to cut below where it's flat. >> My fingers. And hopefully my two sections, this was the front section. They're about the [laughter] same. >> It's like three pieces of hair. She's like, I guess it's the [ __ ] same. I don't know. >> So, I've cut off a lot of the scraggly ends. The other thing I'm doing is cutting off most of the growout [music] from when I stopped coloring my hair last April. So I you can see I still have about that much to grow out and then all of my hair will be my natural color. So let's get rid of this guy and comb it the way it's supposed to go. I'm going to part it all the way down the back and I'm going to pull the hair forward so I can kind of check and make sure there's no weird drop offs. >> I love that she's checking your haircut with her hands. That is great to do. I don't think I said to do that, but you can definitely check with your hands and then resection and redo it if it's all kinds of [ __ ] up. So [music] that's great. Just again going with the hands. See where the hair ends and then cut it again. >> My bangs are kind of starting to angle the way I want them to. And [music] it's really not bad. I think I'm going to leave it alone. I did not cut off very much hair, but I think I got a lot of nice layers. And let's check the back. First off, I rough dry it just to get a lot of the moisture out [music] so it doesn't take quite as long when I pick up the round brush. And I do the bangs with a round brush and the regular dryer. And then to help with smoothing, I'll use the detangling brush again just to get out some of the moisture. >> All right, she is blow drying, styling, doing the works to her hair. And o, it is looking so good. Let's check out the final result. >> That's just blown out. I really like it. It has so much movement. I mean, it took like no time at all. When my bangs grow out more and I [music] have more face framing gear, I think I'll like it even more. But I love the way it frames my face. And in the back, I always have this extra part here that I have to fiddle with and spray to get it to cover. Look [music] at how it moves. And there you have it. My Brad Mondo DIY butterfly haircut. [music] And I love it. >> Oh my [laughter] god, this looks so good. She said it. I mean, just the volume it gives around her face. It really frames her face and connects those curtain bangs with the rest of her haircut. Like, everything just really came together, the movement, the body, the volume, everything just looks sexy. Ba va voom. And gave her hair more life. And I am just blown away at how perfect that looks. Wow. That is going to be a solid five on the monometer. Woo! Yeah. >> Today we're cutting bangs. [music] Cutting bangs. And I'm going to show you how to cut your own bangs at home. Whether you're just bored of the length of your hair, but you don't want to lose a lot of length with a absolute [music] crazy haircut, or you just want something different, I'm going to show you how to cut your bangs and style [music] them so you can actually enjoy bangs. >> Show us, girl. Show us how it's done, and I will judge every part of you telling us how to do it. >> So, the very, very important thing is to [music] section your hair. Also, cut your bangs dry. Do not wet your bangs and then cut them. and they will always end up too short. By cutting them dry, you can see exactly how much you're losing in length. So, today we're going to be cutting a length that is long enough to get out of your face and grow them out quickly if you hate them. So, not too short, but not too long to just be a random layer. And I don't want these [music] bangs to be too far back. So, the further back you go, the thinner the rest of your hair is going to look. So, I'm going to keep my hair in my bangs, not going back too far. >> That's definitely true. However, I like to explain it more of like if your head's tilted forward like [music] this, you kind of want everything that automatically kind of comes into your face to be cut. Obviously, if you like put your head all the way down, it's going to all go forward. But like, if you just kind of rock your head forward a little bit, you can kind of see which hair naturally comes forward. Some people have thicker hair, thinner hair, whatever. So, you might need to put more hair in the front than others. You know, don't go halfway back cuz it'll look ridiculous. >> I want enough bang, right, to look like a bang, but I don't want to go back too far and lose a lot of volume towards the back of my head. And as you can see, I have breakage here. So, I'm going to be having these bangs graduate a little bit. And I'm stopping sectioning right at my temple. So, that's as far as back as I want to go with these bangs. I actually That's a lot. I keep thinking she has extensions in her hair because her hair is like so nice and thick and it's so blonde. It just looks [music] like she's extensions. It's like too perfect. >> But we are going to graduate it. So you can feel how thick your bangs are going to be. All right. So these [music] are going to be pretty thick. I might not go back that far. >> Those are some big babies. That's a Taylor Swift bang right there. Right in front of the head. Let's get rid of some other hair. Huh. >> Once you cut, you can't cut less. And I think that is good. So, I would say from my hairline to where the bangs, how full they're going to be is about an inch. I would say that I have definitely gathered all of the length that's starting to break off around my [music] face. I'm going to start by cutting straight across because I want a graduation. Okay, there's [music] no going back. And I give you this tip. Don't chop in. >> That's a whole lot of hair and no overdirection. I'm buckling in, seeing what she's going to do here, but I'm not living for it so far. >> Use the pressure at the back of the scissors to cut. Do not use the tips to just start cutting. You're going to saw your hair. Okay, here we go. And you might end up seeing my mirror, but I really need it close. So, so I'm using the weight of the back of the scissors. What is this video turning into? Okay, cutting dry. Let's go. Oh. >> [screaming] >> All right. So, >> that's a blunt bang. It's like a a bob starting here. I don't know where she's going with this. Obviously, you guys know me. I like to overdirect the opposite way it lives. So, it's coming from here. We go over here. It's coming from here. We go over here. And we cut on a diagonal so that when you let it down, you get a nice sweeping effect. That's it. It's that simple. >> Now, we have the bangs. And what if I was like, I'm done. We're not. Okay. So now what you want to do is start cuz I'm going to wear mine at my center part. So I'm going to take my scissors. I've seen people cut up, cut down just so you know where you're going with it all. And then use the weight of the scissors here. And I'm going to start cutting right at the outer corner of my eye and just gradually cut here. >> I mean, if this works for you, obviously it's a way of doing it. I think it's difficult to do this way and a little bit difficult. I already said that. Besides overdirecting each side thing that I just explained, you can also use a razor at this point. Like if she just wants to go in and freehand it with a razor so much easier than cutting with scissors. >> Ooh, I'm using the weight of the scissors here. Cutting downward. And actually, I am going to go up on this side. >> It's just getting complicated. >> So, let me eat my words on [music] the going up. Some angles are difficult to get. And then I'm just gonna start shaping the length itself. [music] And now gonna get this part out of the way. >> It doesn't feel like it's getting any more like diagonal. It feels like it's still staying [music] pretty straight or even getting straighter somehow. I don't know. Maybe I'm crazy, but like what? >> And now I'm going to go ahead and chip [music] into the bangs cuz we don't want harsh edges. We are not going for a straight across bang. So [sighs] >> I need to stop getting worked up for point cutting. iron deck because it's clear that everybody's going to do it and I have no control over it, so I should just let it be. Um, but I can't. Thinning shears would have been awesome for here, too, guys. Instead of point cutting, thinning shears. Okay, I can get behind thinning shears for sure. But this is doing absolutely nothing. I don't even know where she's going with this. >> And I'm going to make it the thinnest texturize it the thinnest in the center. And you can really see what you're doing here. Angle, [music] angle, angle. Leaving it the longest at the outer part of the hair. All right. Okay, I'm going to do the same thing with these sections. >> We can also take the hair from where it lives, bring it up, and really [music] point cut deepen the hair at a diagonal instead of really straight down like this. Kind of like this. Not like this, like this. When we lift it up, we're creating over direction, which gives you nice softness when you point cut into the hair instead of point cutting it like this, which can give you a lot of issues. >> Texturize, making it longer on the outer part of the hair. So, we're going to go [music] from the inside out and just pull your scissors downward. When you get towards the outer edge, same thing. Just texturizing and chipping away at the [music] weight of the end of the hair. You can start to see it come together. Now, I'm just grabbing all of the hair. Comb it out. >> I hate to be the bearer of the bad news, but it doesn't look any different. Like, we just keep on we're cutting, but some for some reason look keeps looking the same. >> And I'm going to go ahead and texturize this way. Just thinning out the bangs, keeping it longest on the outer part. Looks crazy right now, but we're about to wet and style and then go in and cut more. >> I do like the idea of wetting and styling because it really does bring everything together. She is totally correct in that. So, I'm glad she's going to wet and style and then do more cutting. That's very a professional thing that we would do is style and cut a little bit more >> because I'm going for that like volumized, you know, and [music] then kind of fade it into the sides of my hair. So, I'm going to go ahead just kind of fluff it up with my fingers and cut along my face. Now that it's texturized now that we've established the length we want, we can go in and really shape things up. >> All right, the vision is coming to life. I'm seeing it now. She has a little bit of that diagonal bevel that she's looking for. And I think with the styling, it's going to really help. Like I keep saying, >> this is what we're looking at after using a round brush. I think that they're super duper cute. [music] I do want to go a little just a little bit shorter in the middle just because I don't want full curtain bangs. I am wanting kind [music] of like a voluminous situation. >> Okay, they're styled now. And I'm going to say something that might be controversial, but they look exactly the same. We could have done this in one step. We're doing it in 15. >> So, I'm just going to go ahead look straight into the mirror and cut length just like this. Now that they're styled, as you can see, you you [music] know, it's always best to start out longer because once they're cut, they're cut. I'm going to hold it here, texturize it to [music] shorten it. I'm no longer doing like straight passes with the scissors because I don't want just chopped lengths. For me, what it's giving is like straight like chrono out really straight across bangs, which is I don't think what you're looking for. I think you're looking for nice like that. And I'm not going to go over how again you can achieve that because I think we get the point. But let's just see how she finishes this off. >> Again, when you pull your sections out, just make sure you are cutting into the very center the most and losing length there first and then you can graduate to the [music] outer edges of the bang. Oh my god. I feel like honestly, not to toot my own horn, but I feel like I'm elevating my haircut a lot right now. >> All right, she keeps on going with the point cutting, keeps on trimming, and you know, it's you can see she's she's going in there. They don't look bad. They just look a little bit straight to me. And the biggest thing I'm seeing here is that it's very heavy at the ends. If she elevates the section and cuts layers into it, I think it would be phenomenal for her. They would make the ends a lot more wispy and like when you push it off your face, they just kind of sit perfectly. That's how you do that with [music] good amount of layering and texturizing within the bangs. We don't want them all one length. Rarely do you ever want to see bangs that are all one length unless you're going for that just extreme blunt Nicki Minaj look. >> We typically don't want to see that. So, mostly all professional bangs that are done are layered. >> Girl, I am loving them already. And I feel like, oh, we could even go shorter in the center, but I am not going to do that. I [music] can save that for another video if I decide. This like volumized curtain bang is giving me a lot of life. I'm just going [music] to take the ends of my hair and curl them under a little bit more. I'm living laughing and loving right now. Okay, I'm very happy. This was definitely [music] the goal bang. And you know, if it goes wrong, I don't have anybody to blame but myself. >> Okay, I mean, I shared my opinions. She loves it. I'm happy for her. I think they could be a little bit more diagonal and wispy. It would just make a lot easier for her to style that way. But I'm happy she loves it. She looks beautiful no matter what. [music] I think the style does not look bad in any way. But I would have personally done it a little bit different. But to each their own. You know what finish this whole look off? If she put like an 8A super gloss toner on her hair because it's giving a little bit too bright for her complexion. I don't mind it. Bringing this hair color down a couple levels would look fierce as on her. I would be obsessed. And for that, I'm going to have to give you a three on the mondo meter. I wasn't really seeing eye to eye. >> This is the state of my hair now. It's It's pretty nice. I like it, but uh it's getting a bit too long for my taste. So, now I'm going to give myself another DIY chop. Thinking like somewhat French bob style because I thinking about going so short today. The approach is going to be slightly different from my last DIY haircut video. [screaming] >> I'm excited, but I'm also really scared for her because doing really short cuts by yourself at home is [ __ ] impossible to get right. These are precision haircuts. These take major scale even from a hairdresser to do right. If you want some that's all the way up here, you better know what you're doing or else it's going to be really crazy looking. >> Right. So, this is this is the setup. I'm in my bathroom. I am equipped with a pair of scissors, hair clips to hold up my hair, a bunch of hair ties in case I need them. I will need them. That is the plan. A bottle spray. So, the plan today is to cut it quite short. And this is the picture I'm kind of wanting to go for. >> She does have hair cutting scissors. Amazing. I love to see it. >> I don't know what it will turn out to be. So, let's hope the end result looks something akin to that. >> Wo! This is going to be a big transformation. >> So, basically, I've kind of like tried to gather up like [music] the nape stuff. Going to grab a hair tie and just tie that together. >> We're only like 1 minute into the video and I'm already confused. Why are we tying the back up together? I'm not really getting it, but hopefully she's explaining it. I don't know if this is the best way of doing this. This is what it looks like. It's right at the bottom of the nail. >> Okay, we're doing three sections instead of four quadrants. You know that I love this this not as much but still liking it because they are sectioning which is really exciting to see. If you're sectioning, you get a happy jump from me. To prevent mess, I tie a second band down there so that [clears throat] you know the hair doesn't scatter everywhere. And I got to take it out in one bunch. Clever, huh? Right. Okay. So, [laughter] let's go. >> Okay, we're chopping that off. Okay, she's chopping a good amount off, maybe like 2 in. Damn. [cheering and screaming] Okay, I see you. Now, what's going to happen here is because we're overdirecting the hair from here to here, she's going to have an A-line bob. You're going to have a very like [snorts] slanted line going forward. Not my thing, but some people's thing. There was a time where that was super super in. If it's your thing, go off, which is not what she's going for. She's going for a blunt bob. >> All right. Okay. So, time to let her out and see what I've done. What horror I've inflicted. Okay. Right. OKAY. [clears throat] [screaming] OH, SHE seems confident about this. Very much so. As still, which I saw the back and I went, you saw what I did. I literally am sitting here filming a video, but you saw replay. This is really short. It's above where her hairline starts. So, she's going to have to shave the underneath of her hair to make this make more sense. [music] And there is a little bit of overdirection happening. So, she does have a little bit of that A-line moment going on in the back where it goes from short here to longer on the sides. Again, not my thing, but maybe hers. So, now she's wetting the hair and trying to get that line a little bit more straight, which I think is a really good idea. When she put the ponytail in, she sort of lifted the hair up instead of having it really smooth against the neck. It's always going to add some kind of layering and bevel on the bottom. If you want it straight, wet the hair, push it against the neck and cut. Don't lift it at all. You're going to get layering that way. The moment you elevate, you'll get layers. All right. Now, she's just trimming these B up. She's trying to get rid of that A-line little moment going on. And of course, we got a point cut because what would a hairdresser react cutting video be without point cutting? Everybody loves it. Y'all are like the biggest advocates for point cutting. I've never seen anybody love it so much than every DIY person out there. They saw their hairdresser do it once and they went, "Oh yeah, point cut that bitch." I guess I'm here for it. I don't I don't hate it. It's just that you never do it right. She kind of just keeps on going in this haircut and cutting more off. That is what you don't want to do. And guys, that's where you start ending up with problems even as a hairdresser. The more you cut, the shorter it gets. Believe it or not, it does get shorter every time you cut it. Everybody has to learn the hard way. She's basically letting one strand of hair down at a time from each of these side sections and then cutting it at the same point she cut the back section. So, using the back as her guide and then repeating the haircut throughout to have one straight line across, which is totally a great way of doing it. I don't mind this at all. I'm excited to see if this actually works out for her or something goes a miss. She's feeling confident and she's feeling good. She just turned around and I finally see that it is okay looking. Um, I wouldn't say it's great. I would say for her hair, it is so thick to have it all one length like that is going to always look a little chunky at the bottom. It's always going to kind of bevel out, but most people want it to just sit straight down. And the way you do that is with proper layering on the ends of the hair. Proper thinning, proper layering, texturizing, whatever you want to call it. That's how you make that [ __ ] stay really flat without getting the whoop. She just took down the front of her hair and oh my god, she has so much hair left. I honestly didn't think there was going to be that much hair. That is a full head of hair that's going to be hard to cut through. She's doing some horizontal sectioning in the front of her hair, too, which I also think is a great move. I think this is a very easy DIY friendly way of doing this. And she's going to again match it up with the back section. Oh, it is so satisfying watching her chop that hair off. She's chopping off so much. And she's just like fearless about it. She's like just boom, making that mad short. And I love the bob on her. It is such a cute look so far. Okay. The thing I don't love is that the hair is drying in between the cutting. If we were trying to go for perfection, try and make sure that that hair is sping wet. It should be dripping. Okay? And that doesn't look sping. Could you see that? Cuz she has all this wave pattern going through her hair now because she left her hair in a clip and then she's not even getting the wave pattern out before she cuts with the water. That's going to cause issues in a bob. And then when she does straighten it for the first time, it's going to be like jagged on the bottom. Hate to see it. She's saying she's checking the length on both sides, which is amazing to do. Every time you cut a new layer of hair, go like this and see if your fingers slide off the hair at the same time. That's how you check evenness in a haircut. >> [music] >> Ah, the reason why I'm screaming is because she's kind of taking the hair and pulling it forward. That, my friends, is putting layers into the hair. All you got to do, I swear, just wet that a lot. Comb it into place against your skin. Cut it. Never lifting. Okay, she's turned to the side and I got to say, yikes. That looks wavy. And not the wave pattern in her hair, but the actual length looks and I was cheering you on the whole time [music] and now I don't feel as confident at all as I did before cuz I just saw this and that looks like a hot mess. >> Cutting your own hair is strangely cathartic. [music] Gives you this sense of control. >> I love cutting my own hair. I don't love it. I like it because I'm in control and I know somebody's not going to chop my hair off and I know my hair the best. It is kind of like therapeutic and like I don't know. You feel in control. It's fun. I don't know. It's something that everybody has to do once in their life, you know. All right, I think we get the point. She is continuing to take down layers of hair and cutting it to the same length over and over again. And then she's checking it and trying to make sure it's all even and everything. And god damn, she has so much hair. She just keeps going. Like I keep looking over. Oh my god, this bob is going to be so thick on the [music] ends because we're barely adding any texture. It is just Thank god her hair is really straight naturally because this would have been like poofed out on the ends if she had any other hair texture. This hair texture is iconic [music] for bobs. I'll tell you that good Asian hair eats with a bomb. >> This is all the hair that I've cut out. >> Look how much [ __ ] hair she cut off. This is nice. I love a big transformation, you guys. You know that already. But like, oh god, that is so much gorgeous hair just in that sink. >> Yeah. I'm going to give this a blow dry and see how it goes at the back cuz the back's still looking a bit pokey. I want to see if styling can just disguise it a bit or I always do it a little bit off to the left. I hope this uh has given you some inspiration um for your own DIY haircut at home. >> Guys, oh my god, you in the video. You look so [ __ ] beautiful with that bob. I can't believe how nice it sits without barely doing anything to the [music] ends to texturize them or thin them out. It is like the perfect length for you when your hair sits perfectly. Ah, this is really really pretty and honestly to the naked eye like I think it's perfect to a hairdresser's trained eye. Would I put a little more texture on the ends? They sit a little nicer. Yes, for sure. But you can also do it yourself. Lift the hair up in sections. Boom. Like that. And either use thinning shears or point cut deeply into the hair. Let it down. That way you have some nice diffused texture going through and a little bit less thickness and bulkiness on the ends. Damn, you [ __ ] killed that. That is going to be a solid five on the mono meter. Make sure to check out new hair reacts videos every single Sunday. I'll be here waiting for you. Bye, beautiful.
