Do It Yourself Butterfly Haircut

I cut my own hair for the first time ever this weekend, and I love it. I saw a random video on YouTube with the technique for a butterfly haircut, which is super easy; you basically make two ponytails in the right locations on your head and then cut the same amount off of both. I did it and my hair looks better than it has in years. I felt pretty confident because the guy who made the how-to video has several later videos that are him reacting to people taping themselves following his instructions, and they all came out really pretty.
I decided to do it, because I feel like no matter what I ask the stylists for, they pretty much always do the same thing, trim it a tiny bit and that is it. I ask for layers, and put a tiny amount in, no where near what the picture I bring in looks like. So I did it myself. Worked out well. Anyhow, here is the video in case anyone else is interested: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9wgLacjgiv8&t=606s Make sure your hair is wet. Make sure you part the hair perfectly. Make sure you put the ponytails in the right location and pull them in the right directions when you cut. That's pretty much it. |

| I have been cutting my hair at home with the crea clip for years and years and I’m always happy with how it turns out. I felt like a super genius for already having it when the pandemic hit. |

| OP - I totally agree with you. I started cutting my own hair when the pandemic started. My hair looks better than it ever has before. Honestly, it is SO EASY and fast. In the time it would take me to go to the salon, I've already given myself a full haircut. No appointments, and no waiting. LOVE IT! |

| It's cute. Is it just me or does anyone else think it would be better if the longest back layer were a little bit shorter? Sometimes that can end up looking scraggly. To adjust that, could you make the back ponytail lower on the head? Or better to try to trim the back once finished? |
