I thought you did a wonderful job. I watched you following everything you did. I went shorter on the top. I love Jamie Lee Curtis cut. Thank you for showing the steps you took.

Hi, I'm only two years late! As a former hairdresser, you did an amazing job, 👏 I love the fact you weren't scared to do it, most people are BTW. And it looked great too. 😀 xx

Cutting your own hair is so difficult and I think she did an amazing job on herself. Plus she explained everything while she did it which was very helpful, especially with the clippers!

Thanks Janet! Appreciate the kind comments! I did upgrade my clippers as it seemed that I had to work a bit harder with my old clippers. I used the new clippers on my kids last week and they worked like a charm!

@jolynbranch1211 Жыл бұрын

What clippers did you upgrade to? I’m going to buy some for myself, because I’ve been trying to maintain my undercut and need better tools. I went to a wonderful hairdresser for over 30 years, but a couple of months ago, she moved to a faraway city.😢 I tried someone else at her shop and she did ok, but last time, I didn’t think the cut was quite right. I’m really nervous about going anywhere else because I’ve had a lot of squamous cell carcinoma on my scalp and a lot of scarring that affects how and where my hair grows. So, I want to learn how to cut my own hair, will save a ton of money, too! I’ve cut my husband’s hair since we got married 55 years ago, and I used to cut my kids hair, too, so I think I can do this! Thanks so much for the clear detailed instructions and video, very inspiring! Your haircut looks awesome!!!

@@jolynbranch1211 I learned over the course of the pandemic Costco sells good clippers with a decent motor (the brand changes according to bids, but they do insist on high quality with a good warranty). Upgrade your clippers with ceramic blades so the motor doesn't have to work as hard. I haven't found any clippers sold at Costco to not have ceramic blades options available online. Hope that helps!

I've been cutting my hair for about 20 years. I would also recommend thinning shears. They work perfect to add a little texture to the top and transition between the shaved part and the longer hair!

OK, I am NOT a professional. Only a professional youtube haircut watcher since March. 😂 If you want to soften up the blunt ends, either look up point cutting or get yourself some texturizing sheers. Some stylists use them instead of point cutting. You did a great job! Super cute!!!!!!

@plevanger 3 жыл бұрын

I am a hairstylist. When you do either of those tips ( both good) before starting to cut pull your section piece out horizontally, comb smooth and do that trick with the hair pulled out horizontally at a 45’ degree angle from the head. That way when you comb it down you won't have chunks taken out of the bottom. It will be a nice fine layer

Love how you cut your hair. So cute. After watching you and one other channel showing another lady cutting her own hair at home, I think I'm ready to tackle mine. Plus both of you used clippers, which has always intimidated me, but with your instructions, especially about going up and then sideways in both directions with clippers, feel much more comfortable. Thanks for sharing.

I have used a #4 on the back and a #8 on the top and a #6 to balance the transition from back to crown with the tapering attachments for around the ears and then a nice cleanup on the neckline with no attachment. About the beginning of the month seems to work well.

I loved your "do" sooo much that I talked myself into doing it on my pixie and I LOVE it!! It was so easy and it's nice and even, which was always a big problem especially when I cut the sides the old way with scissors. My plan is to do this every 3 weeks or so, so I never look like it was just cut or like it's needing cut. The clippers I have suck up the hair too which is really nice. Thanks for your fun videos--a nice change from all the other gloom and doom on KZfaq!!

Kudos to you I think you did an awesome job!!. I started doing my own pixie undercut a couple years ago right before the pandemic. A couple of tips, I use professional scissors as well as a shorter brand that's not super Sharp along with a longer pair of scissors. Having the variety of scissor lengths makes it easier to cut the back and not end up injuring one's self. The long pair of scissors are what I use to cut the back (or hard to reach areas) and I do point cutting with those that aren't super Sharp. The channel Sharalee's Box of Chocolate has some videos of how her hairdresser does her pixie undercut. Anyway I enjoyed your video and I also have to say your bathroom is especially pretty love that tub!! 💖 God bless and stay well.

Thanks. You gave me (73) the courage to just do it! I used 0.5" edge (largest I could find in our clipper box) then scissor- trimmed the top mop. (The hair was much worse than the YT photo of me.) I'm so pleased with the results that I'm going to keep it up. Three years ago, my hair decided it needed to grow unruly curls (hairdresser said hair has 7 yr phases). My scalp psoriasis has become manic with external rx of little value any longer. This haircut really allows much better access to the scalp. It was hard not to do my whole head with that 0.5" edge.

I always use the 24mm guard when I do the back of my head, but I think I'm going to go shorter next time because yours turned out so well. I usually use thinning shears too to blend the sections. They are a miracle tool! I bought them, along with some hair shears off Amazon. Really makes a difference!
