This is how I cut my hair at home in long layers... MissLizHeart

welcome back guys so today I'm going to be chopping my hair off let me show you guys how long it is it's been a year since I've been to a salon I basically just do maintenance at home it is so long right now so I'm thinking of taking like this much off we'll see if I'm brave enough I'm just give my hair some movement it's super flat right now hopefully guys find this video helpful if you do it definitely give the video a thumbs up and subscribe before you go and let's go ahead jump into it I'm gonna start off by sectioning my hair I usually part my hair to this side so that's what I'm gonna do and I'm gonna section off just the front of my hair so like right where the ear starts and that way I can later go on and like face-frame if I want so like that much you can see this is like the shortest part of my hair just securing it with bobby pins then I'm gonna go ahead and divide at the top part it's just like the crown area so I'm starting like where the arch of my brow is and I'm just gonna go so I'm gonna go ahead and secure that to the top of my head this is the last piece we're gonna work on and then this is everything that's left so now I'm gonna go ahead and section this into two parts so I'm starting like right where my top will make your starts and I'm just going back and I'm gonna put both of those pieces into piles you want to try to make both pieces pretty even so once I have both ponytails I can go ahead and start cutting and this is how I like to do it I will start in the longest length and going all the way up until I have reached the length that I want to cut and I want to cut about that much I just bring it to the front like this making sure not to lose my place and I'm just gonna start cutting I like to cut in an upward angle like this you know it's kind of choppy but that's okay we're gonna go in and clean it up I always say start with a little bit because you can always cut more off later and I always get myself a little bit of room for error so now the next layer I'm going to do the same thing I'm smoothing it all the way up and I'm gonna cut off just a little bit more than I cut off before just smooth it up and then bring it around do the same thing so next I'm going to take the bottom ponytail off and I'm gonna put the top part of my hair in a ponytail now we're gonna do the same exact thing that I did earlier so just smooth it up I'm gonna take about this much off now I'm gonna go ahead and blend so I'm gonna put this piece back up in a little bun and I'm gonna release that middle ponytail and blend this into the bottom part you can see how it almost starts to form like a little layer already so now to blend this I'm just gonna divide my hair in half and I'm gonna go with a brush or comb and we're just gonna go in sideways like this [Music] and you guys see how it kind of starts to form like a natural v that's what we're gonna clean up do something to the other side they see that natural v that starts to form just gonna clean that up this is what we have so far okay so now we're going to blend this bottom part into the rest of the hair so again we're just following that natural lead and just cleaning it up [Music] see how it starts to kind of start to like be up like that so I just continue blending that shorter layer at the very top with the longer layers at the very bottom and I continue doing this all the way around my hair so now for the bangs we are just going to you can actually put your bangs in a ponytail if it makes it easier for you but I'm just gonna freak on it you can basically do exactly what we did and just tie a ponytail right here same thing that we did with a ponytail I'm just gonna comb it all the way up I'm gonna put about that much off this is what we have left so you can see how there is a pretty big separation and gap between this hair and the next layer so now we're just gonna blend that in hard it the way usually part it this and we're just gonna take some of the hair from the long piece and then some of it from the short piece and this is gonna help us blind everything together I like to take my scissors and angle it downwards and we're just gonna start kind of snipping all the way down it's like a little baby and this is what your left what I think you can see now it's so much better we're gonna continue blending all of that down just like that now we're going to do the other side this side is always a little harder for me to do because I'm right-handed so I'm actually gonna bring my bangs up just a little bit so I'm gonna take just like that much and I always like to do this cuz I guess it gives your face a nice little frame without having to have like super short bangs and that is perfect so you can definitely go in there and clean it up a little bit more if you wanted to also if you wanted like even more layers you could pick up this part again and you can make it a little bit shorter which is what I'm gonna do I'm gonna shorten it just a little bit just gonna make it a little bit shorter just to like add a little bit more layers to the bottom of my hair go ahead and smooth that up I'm gonna cut that much off and that is it now we should have the desired layers you have shorter pieces up here and we have longer pieces down here and now what you can do is make sure that both sides are nicely even by just parting your hair down the middle yep you're good so that is it for today's video thank you so much for watching make sure to give the video a thumbs up if you enjoyed it and also consider subscribing before you go and try this at your own risk I just that I'm not a professional if this is what works for me and ya I'm gonna let you guys go and we'll talk to you guys next time bye
