Looking for a long haircut? The V style cut can be done at home with a good pair of shears and a bit of experience. If you've ever cut your own hair before, this cut will be easier for you to accomplish. This cut is especially useful when you've got split ends and usually have to go to a hairdresser to get them cut off. You'll save money plus do a great job! (hopefully)
Split ends can be a real problem if you style your hair a lot. They can give you frizzy hair and look pretty bad. The other bad part is that once split ends happen, they will continue to split up towards your head if you don't get rid of them!
Times are hard right now, so cutting a few corners (*pun intended) is a great way to save a few bucks. Spend the money buying makeup or hair products that help you style your hair instead!
This video will explain to you how to V cut your hair. It is a long haircut and will give you a V in the back. The higher up you start the V, the more sharp the V will be. The lower you start the cut, the wider your V will be. You will need to have a good set of shears to do this. Its also a technique that works better with straight hair but can look good on wavy hair. It does not work well on overly curly hair though unless you straighten your hair everyday. For that reason, straighten your hair before you cut it or just cut your hair while it's wet.
You also need to know that when hair is wet, its longer than when it's dry. If you make the cut while it's wet, allow a little more length than you actually want. Hair usually shrinks about 1/4" - 1/2" when it's dry. The most important thing to remember is that you must use the same pressure on both sides when you hold your hair out in front of you to make the cut(s).
Take baby steps if you are unsure about the length. Better to cut too little than too much! If you are too nervous, don't do it or get your mom, neighbor, or a girlfriend to do it for you! This long haircut is better left to someone who has a bit of experience cutting hair, but can be done by anyone who has a bit of patience and confidence. Watch the video to learn more!
If you try this long haircut, be careful and stop sweating the small stuff. Just relax and enjoy it if you can. Life is too short. 1/8" or 1/4" off isn't going to show up. If anyone notices, tell them either you meant to do it that way OR tell them to get a life! (btw, this is my video:o)
