If you are looking for a long layered haircut, this is the cut for you! With just one snip of your shears, you will have a professional look and be very happy!
I learned this technique many years ago, but never thought about trying to do it for myself until a few short years ago. Then a lightbulb went on and I said. Hmmm..... What if....
So I tried it and the technique worked great. Since then I've helped a whole lot of women learn a new technique they can use in a snap, to get a professional look at home! This technique works best for hair that's shoulder length or longer.
You really do need a good set of shears to do this cut though. Even the less expensive shears at any superstore or Sally's Beauty Supply store will be fine. Just don't use your packaging shears. You really need better scissors to cut your hair correctly!
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.
Take baby steps if you are unsure about the length. Better to cut too little than too much! Do the steps slowly if you want great results! If you are too nervous, get your mom, neighbor, or a girlfriend to help!
Try this long layered cut and create the long layers that you want! This cut will be more accurate if you straighten it first.
