Mel, I HAVE to tell you. The pigtails cut AND this cut combined and IM NOT SORRY but I'm not visiting my hairstyler anymore. My hair has never been this light and beautiful. Thank you. I absolutely ADORE you.

@owoboogieoogie884 Ай бұрын

did you do the pigtails first?

@Sloppyjoemamma Ай бұрын

How do you combine the two?

@saramarcaccini5231 Ай бұрын

I did the pigtails first and this one immediately after to even the layering! Got myself the haircut a couple months ago and then just the one of this video a few days ago and the hair looks great. I have 2b/2c waves. Try it out!

@jenniferjen5422 Жыл бұрын

The reality is most regular hairdressers don't understand curly wavy cuts and way too many hairs don't get cut properly. It takes a long time but i know Mel's methods are more thorough than visiting a commercial premise with 1 hour on the clock!

It might be scary to get started but once you tried cutting your own hair once, realized it looks better than anything you've ever had done by a professional in your entire life of 30 years and more... you basically only trust yourself to cut your hair. You can also start with something easier than this one like Mel's pigtails haircut tutorial.

When I went to "beauty school" in the 90"s I learned this method, it was called pivot point cutting, and I have used it for 30 years. This combined with my ouidad cutting training has served me well as a stylist.

@ilariabenedini1188 10 ай бұрын

Hi Mel! English it’s not my first language, so I’ll probably mess up with the grammar and I’m sorry for it. I’m Italian and I live in a really small town where hairdressers are not used to treat curly hair. I struggled a lot to find someone who could actually understand my hair pattern and cut it properly, in facts it’s been ruined one too many times and I always left the saloons in tears. I started cutting my hair by myself in the past year and you’ve been my guru ever since. Today I followed this tutorial and it turned out absolutely gorgeous, so I wanted to thank you for being a life saver and for spreading your knowledge to people like me. P.S. I have mid-back lenght hair with different curl patterns (from 2B on the bottom to 3A on the top layers) and this technique worked out really fine.

@galenwilliams9839 Жыл бұрын

I gave this a try last night on my longish, fine, 2B to 3B waves. Despite my variable curl pattern, I got really nice, even layers and more definition and movement with wet cutting. The back is especially nice for a DIY.

Mel thank you so much for posting this. I just tried it on my own hair after a bad Deva cut. It’s not dry yet but I can tell the shape is 100x better than before. The layers from the Deva cut were not uniform and I was left with a bottom heavy triangle shape. A lot of my ends were stringy and uneven. One quadrant of hair had a long layer on top, a short layer in the middle and another long layer on the bottom. Idk how she managed to cut my hair that way.
