So should you cut your hair yourself? Should you be cutting your hair yourself? I would say no, don't do it. Nothing is better than a professional doing it.

But if you really have to, there is one thing, with long hair, that you actually can do. It's one chop. So I'm going to show you.

You will need to take all of your hair and actually brush everything. So it's brushing or combing everything forward. Then go all the way to the end. And what happens here, you will take the scissor and just cut that straight off. What that will do is actually keep all the length that you have here, that goes here. So that won't be touched. And once you cut here, it will actually give you some of the layers in front too, at the same time. So in one shot you can actually make your hair look pretty decent.

The second option would actually be to turn your face sideways, comb your hair in the front, meaning bring all the hair towards you, and actually cut the bottom of it in a straight line. And do the same thing on the other side. That's the only way you can actually reach the back of your head. It won't be perfect, but it will help.

But, like I say, nothing is going to be better than the professional. So don't do it your

    i remember my 5 last hair experiences to a salon and they screwed up 5 times. and it was expensive. so now i'm screwing up my own hair and it's free.
  • For everyone saying "just pay for a cut"....some people simply can't. I was one of those people for about 3 years. When a haircut costs $30-40, and you have to decide whether you spend that money on food or the heat bill, well...you don't get the haircut.

    I have very long thick wavy hair. I'm not gonna lie, I have incredible hair. It grows really fast and can get really long 🤷🏼‍♀️. I always want layers, but hair stylists hate doing it cause it's so long and thick. So they charge me $100 and take 2 hours to cut it. This morning I wanted 5" cut off. Called salon, not working today. Searched youtube = less than a minute and free. I pulled my hair forward like he showed first. Took shears, cut straight across five inches up, Gorgreous haircut. Better than I get at a salon. Took less than a minute and was free. GOT THE CUT OF MY DREAMS FOR FREE. Wish I could share photos. 🤷🏼‍♀️😊
  • Step 1: spend 30 minutes curling your hair Step 2: Rip a brush through your hair and destroy those curls
  • @SuperLaloca
    The reason why I'll do it myself because when I tell my hairstylist I want to get rid of the dead ends she ends up cutting a lot of my hair or if I want layers she will cut too much... So YES I will do myself thank you!
  • @marteenie7189
    I was cringing so much because he brushed and pulls on her hair so harshly. You could see her holding back on saying "ow".
  • @MrDammit2hell
    Ok. So I just cut my wife's hair as Pierre showed (one cut) and she loves it. She said it is the best hair cut she has ever had. It totally has all the layers. I can't believe how well this worked. Pierre, you are a genius my friend, thank you. Do you realise how much money in haircuts we've just saved over the next 20 years??
  • @pokerworld
    For anyone wondering if the first method works - I just did it to my wife last night. Took one second. She has long hair down to about her mid back. She wanted three inches off and we did that. Looks great. Saved about $20/$25 it would cost at a salon. Looks like I’m cutting her hair from now on.
  • @BeenaGena
    I have really long hair and watching this guy comb her hair hurt me
  • I’ve just mustered up the courage to do this. I was hesitant (despite all the positive comments here) because my hair is really thick. It’s turned out great! Easily as good as I’ve had at the hairdresser! I would really recommend it. It’s quick and easy and never had to leave the house. If you’re not sure, just cut less off initially so you can prove to yourself it works, then do it again straight away and cut a bit more off the length. Thanks so much for this video❤

    How to do this: don't. But here's how you could do it if you have to. But don't

    I haven't been to a salon in 5 years, I always just cut it myself. Saves me a ton of money
  • @shinybloom
    With fine thin hip length hair, I was desparate for a solution that does not cost $75-100. Held out on a hair cut for almost 3 years because i refuse to pay those exuberant costs. Finally mistered up the courage to try this at home after watching multiple videos and tutorials. Stumbled across this video that an 8 year old could easily accomplish. The results were amazing!! For years i jave ask stylist to layer my long hair and few ever get it right. This was the layered haircut of my dreams. Gave my hair loads of texture and volume to my thin locks. The only amendment to the tutorial i made was trimming the long point of hair left over in the back straight across using two fingers, a mirror and snipped away. I will never be back to a salon, thank you sir!

    Every time I go to a hair Solon they always do it different then what I asked or they screw it up. So now I cut my own hair and I color my own hair. I may not be the best on doing it myself, I'm not a professional but it still looks good and I save a ton of money. I'm very happy.
  • @margiearens1908
    Thank you for this video. My daughter has long hair and it was getting hard to  brush. I'm a bit limited on funds the next few weeks, so I did the first option you showed of bringing all her hair forward and cutting it across. I also cut into the line a bit at an angle with the scissors to make the line less blunt. When we combed it back, she was very happy with it! It looks lightly layered around her shoulders! Thank you again.
  • @sugarfreeXcandy
    Hairdressers always ruined my hair... I cut and dye my own hair for three years now and I receive so many compliments on it, way more than when hairdressers did it.
  • @mugen3603
    Wow, she looked like she was in pain. Aren't you supposed to be a professional? How can you brush such fine hair so roughly? You'll damage it and give her terrible split ends. See, this is why I don't go to "professional" people to get my hair done anymore.
