Just did this and I have a couple of notes. If you have a lot of hair, the sections are difficult to wrangle, so be patient and try to make them even as you can. Keep in mind that it seems all of the butterfly cut videos have the center part, so for those of us who *gasp* part on the side, you’ll have a heavier section that needs thinning bc it’ll be too chunky. I have professional-ish shears and thinning shears coming so I can refine things and soften things up on that thicker side. I was able to trim off 3-4” and still maintain decent length. Bring your patience and trust and this video on repeat. It does work! You may just need to go back and refine a bit after a blow dry to see where any chunks are. Hope this helps!😊

I want to give a big thanks for keeping the end result w straight hair. It’s annoying when everything gets hidden in curls with other tutorials. I love how you filmed with simplicity. Thank you! Thank you!

*THANK YOU* for not wasting our time, and just getting to the point!

Finally a video that’s straight to the point. Not 10 mins worth of talking. Great job!

I'd start at the front ponytail. If you start too short in the back and try to match them all, you could end up shorter than you want in the front.

I've been doing this for 4 years and I've gotten so many nice compliments. I've also kept my lenght and it grew a lot in those four years

Someone please explain to me why this comes out so much better doing it yourself over getting a bad chop from a cheap salon? Like can’t even they at least do this? I just don’t get why I need to suffer with paying outrageously for a decent haircut OR be more frugal but get the worst cut. Someone explain this to me?

I’m a guy with shoulder length hair…. I just did this in 20 minutes… hair looks and feels great 👍🏻 £60 saved 😂 Thanks for this post!!

Omg I followed this tutorial yesterday and my hair looks gorgeous!! I will never go to a salon again. I wish I could show a picture.

From the last 8 years, i have never been to salon for my hair cutting. As i always like to cut my own hair and do it just my way, the length i want, the bangs and many more❤

i have curly hair and this worked so well... literally have never had this experience at a salon and i always ended up looking like a mushroom!!!!! :( this framed my face perfectly and looks absolutely amazing; if you're thinking about it, do it!!

Saved myself $100 on a haircut; have fine & medium length hair that's naturally wavy. Watched this a few times, then gave it a whirl and... bam! I'm happy with the results. Only took about an inch off but it's noticeably cleaner on the ends. Also created my own face-framing layers, which added a little dimension. Thanks so much. You rock.

It would have been nice to see how it looked from the front as well

you need to cut to the same length; the result after the cut will give you locks of different lengths forming layers on the lengths, once the hair gains the natural lengths longer at the back and short in the front and for more volume and movement after styling..

I used to do this by turning my head upside down. I'd look between my legs at the mirror and just cut straight across. Came out perfectly layered every time. But it's not so easy now that I'm older. Lmao. I'll try this way and see how it comes out.😊😊

Perfect! Love it! I’m a hairstylist who no longer works (SAHM) so trying to find someone good and getting out of the house to get a haircut is mentally and emotionally exhausting! This is one of the best haircuts I’ve given myself, Thank You!!!! Turned out beautiful ♥️

My hair was down past my bottom, and I finally got the courage to try this tutorial. My hair looks and feels so much better. This is such an easy tutorial to follow. Thank you for posting ! 😊

OMG I just tried this on my daughter’s overdue hair and it came out perfect, as if she has gotten her haircut at the salon. So easy, thank you for this!

Thank you for this very simple and helpful visual of how to get a layer at home for the not so skilled wanna be beautician at home . I have watched so many video of them explaining and cutting and honestly it was hours of watching videos to not get anywhere close !!! This was perfect simple to the point and very easy to do . Wonderful video for sure and much appreciated

Thank you for the simplicity. And thank you for teaching us to cut hair at home. I love it.

Best video ever on haircuts..no drama and excessive talking.

This method is so easy and forgiving! My back and middle parts were not 100% same length but still turned out fine! Thank you so much ❤

My husband help me with this, we got trouble to section the hair, but we manage it. It turned so great. Thank you 😊

Since the day I started cutting my own hair, I’ve saved so much and every month my hair is groomed well!!

This was literally the best video I saw for layers. Thank you sir! You made it so simple! I appreciate you!❤

I just did this in 10 minutes and I love it! Thank you for showing this and now I don't have to go to a salon at all! Just decide how short you want the layers and go! To cut overall length part down back of head, pull to front cut straight across bottom to desired length and it falls into a nice U curve in back when done. I am happy!

I just did this yesterday, I thought I messed my hair up at first even though I followed the video to the t, but I did it!! I just had to keep blending!! Had a very big dramatic change in my hair!! Stumbled on this on accident, it’s perfect for me!!❤

This is absolutely 💯 brilliant. Saves me a trip to the salon, and I can even give myself a Tip lol. 😊 Thank you a bunch.

Since the lockdown I have been cutting my hair myself and I don’t want to go back to a hairdresser. It’s fashionable to have untidy hair and I am loving this cut

OMG thank you so much. Will def try this. Love that its clear, no talking and straight to point. Sub!

Thank you so much!!! Easiest hair cut tutorial ever!!!

Guys i just tried it it's literally amazing

Thank you for the great video. The only missing thing for me is not seeing the front when the hair was all done.

Wud have liked to hav seen front after the cut but nice job

Perfect. Exactly what I needed. Nothing fussy. Layers are usually forgiving 💇‍♀️ TY for sharing

Hmmmm, I went to a very good hair-stylist, did an awesome color job, didn't fry my hair or ruin the natural curls... but she totally f*%#=d up my hair cut... put super short layers in... now I'm stuck until I can do the cut myself. So pissed. I've done this cut before and it works like magic. I will NEVER again let another stylist touch my hair with scissors!!

After video and commenters I’m in! I haven’t had a cut for 10 months. Thank you to all the commenters and especially a great video. One comment - I wish I had seen the hair cut before the rubber bands because I would have liked to have seen the difference!

It fixed my choppy haircut. Thank you

I’m excited about trying this. I recently learned to groom dogs, so I’ve got decent shears. I’ve had some recent monthly expense increases so aim looking for services I’ve previously paid for that I can DIY. Since learning to groom dogs giving my three boys hair cuts has been any easy tradition. I needed a method or template for my own hair.

Fantastic! I loved the results!!! I have super thick hair and I feel as light as air and it looks good!

The hardest part of this cut is sectioning it off when you have a lot of hair, but if you take the time it is worth it. Within ten minutes I had a cut worthy of my $65 cut at the salon. This is my new go to when I need a haircut going forward. Thank you !

I tried this and it turned out sooo good!!! Thank you!!!

you the best !!! keeping it simple, clean and original!! thank you ....

I tried this on myself and cut off 6 inches, it turned out perfect. Thanks!

You're the best haircutter.Where did you ever get that talent?❤

Thanks for explaining so well!! By the way, just want to know, if I want more abundant and deeper layers , do I need to make more pony tails like this and repeat the technique?

Melhor tutorial de corte de cabelo que já vi !obrigada por nós ensinar 😍

Worked like a charm!! I was so nervous when doing it 😂 but wow!! Thank you❤

i’m cutting my own hair with this method and i get so many compliments

excellent lesson and very easy to follow. (And it turned out great! Looks like I went to the salon!)

This works perfectly. It turned out great on my straight short hair. Not all the pieces of hair fit in the elastics but that didn’t matter. It was still great after. Just what I was looking for. Did get help from my partner though because putting it in the ponytails was a bit difficult

Wow..your video is so helpful. I'm going to cut my hair following this video right now, all i need is 3 rubber bands and a pair of scissors. Gotcha!

I just attempted this. Never need to go to a hairdresser again. I'm so happy with the result.

Ty ty so much from India ❤❤❤... Just tried your haircut steps n trust me is just looks so cool ... I'm struggling with lots of hairfall so decided to add some bounce and I just did it 🥰🥰.. thanks a ton .

Very happy with the results!

I am going to do this today! Thank you so much!!!!

Супер , очень нравится,просто класс,мастерство, Украина,

Amen to all the positive comments below...just did this and fixed my own mullett-ish f@#$ up lol

OMG IT TURNED OUT PERFECT LOVE IT

Wow brilliant idea!! It worked good on my curly hair.. very simple. Thanks to share

My step mother told me a story when she was a teenager she saved a lot of money to go to a famous hairdresser in Las Vegas and laid $200. He put her hair in a ponytail like this. She was shocked she paid that and she thought I can do that and that is what she did. So, I guess her $200 was an investment as she did it herself like that for years😂

Can I ask please, would you recommend thisvor butterfly cut on natural wavy hair ? Thank you

Omg! 🎉❤I love my haircut and was free.. Ty so much..

I did my haircut yesterday with the help of this video (in the same way but a little shorter) thank you!

I cut my hair using this tutorial and it turned out great 😊 thank you 💕

La mejor técnica que he conocido ,me la acabo de hacer y me quedo perfecta 👌 thank you so much 🇨🇺🇺🇸

What kind of shears/ scissors should I buy? Any good, affordable options?❤

Awesome! Thank you 🙏🏻

This is really helpful thank you👍🏻

Woow! Si en una academia enseñaran esto! Gracias por este excelente video♥️

I LOVE IT!

Wow, it's like art of a sort. 🌟🌹🙂☺️

SHOW THE FRONT!!!

I did it. It work brilliantly. Don't think I will ever go to the hairdressers again!

Okay wow this looks so cute!!!

❤ thanks for easiest way of explaining.

you can cut on wet or dry hair cutting on dry hair allows you to choose the right length, because wet hair always goes up as it dries tapering the ends of the hair brings movement and prevents scissor cuts that create a bar effect

BEAUTIFUL!

The best vidéo i saw for layers ❤

Ty sooo much!!!This works!!!!!!!🎉👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻 Celeste

Finally, Thank you, Thnak you for sharing this educational process. I have been looking for something like this for a long time. Again Thanks!!!!!

I’m gonna give it a try

Perfecto y maravilloso , muchas gracias y bendiciones

THE BEST! THANKS A LOT! 👍🏻🙏🏻

Wow wonderful Plz make video on steps cutting

I've been doing this cut at home for years now. Its the same result as the stylist I paid who pulled everything over the front and put my layers together for the flip I used to wear. Want more layers? Section it and cut again. I let my hair curl and this gives me what I need for natural or a steaight blow out on a roynd brush. I wear a side part. I dont thin the heavy side. I compensate by layering in a couple of extra long layers on the front section of the thin side and the curl does the work. I also dont use professional shears. I am not cutting someone else's head so weighted shears dont seem necessary. I bought a six dollar barber shear at Walmart and took it to the knife shope and had a blade sharpened on it for fifteen dollars. I was told by the people who stole it and gave it to a stylist it was better than a two hundred dollar professional scissor. Its all in how you look at it, I guess. I have to do a new one. I seriously need a cut. This is a good one. Its very versatile.

This is beautiful ❤

Thank you so much !

Outstanding....

Super. Pas de plus facile que ça , merci à vous. Bonne continuation

Looks great 💇‍♀️

Gracias mi corte de cabello quedó predios lo hize paso a paso luego suavizar las puntas y luego me lo seque con paciencia y mis primas me pidieron que les hiciera el corte y quedamos genial y yo siempre salía enojada porque la peluquera cortaba mucho y ahora me ahorre y no pague 45.00 dólares y en la comodidad de mi casa gracias por el tutorial ya no tengo que aguantar ni esperar que la peluquera deje de hablar en su celular mientras me estaba haciendo cel corte ahora yo soy mi propia peluquera muchas gracias

Great, to the point tutorial. Thanks.

vous devez couper à la même longueur; le résultat après la coupe vous donnera des mèches de différentes longueurs formant des couches sur les longueurs, une fois que les cheveux gagnent les longueurs naturelles plus longues à l'arrière et courtes à l'avant et pour plus de volume et de mouvement après le coiffage

Wow thank you!!

Very nice tutorial gonna try Thankyou very much

Did it and love it!

Fantastic! ❤from 🇨🇦

Are they cutting straight across or kinda like at a certain angle i wanna try doing this cut😄😄

Thank you very much !!! 🙏💚🙏
