How Do I Cut My Hair in Layers
Looking for an easy way to cut your hair in layers at home? The butterfly haircut might be just what you need! This quick, three-ponytail method can give you beautifully layered hair in no time. Here’s a step-by-step guide to help you achieve that professional look, even if you're doing it yourself.
Step 1: Sectioning Your Hair
The key to a good butterfly haircut is all in the sectioning. You’ll need to create three ponytails:
First Ponytail: Start with a triangle section at the front, near your fringe (or bangs). Follow your hairline to create this triangle and secure the ponytail at your forehead.
Second Ponytail: This one should sit just above the first ponytail, over-directed forward. This placement will help shape the layers perfectly.
Third Ponytail: The final ponytail is created by pulling the hair from the back and securing it at the top of your crown.
Step 2: Cutting Your Hair
For this step, a good set of scissors is essential. While I’m using specialized thinning scissors, you can achieve similar results with regular sharp hair-cutting scissors.
Start by cutting the first ponytail to your desired length. Be gentle and use point-cutting techniques to soften the ends.
Repeat the process with the second and third ponytails. Remember, the key to a successful layered look is blending the cuts together to avoid any harsh lines.
If you want extra volume, you could try using texturizing scissors to remove excess weight and add movement to your hairstyle.
Step 3: Styling the Layers
Once you remove the ponytails, you'll see the beautiful layers taking shape. Now, it's time to style! Using a flat iron, like the Dyson flat iron, add a slight bend to your hair for movement. You can finish off the look with a lightweight oil, such as the Paul Mitchell Awapuhi styling treatment, to smooth the hair and give it a glossy shine.
Extra Tips
This technique works well for various hair types, from fine to coarse hair. Whether you have nappy hair or brunette hair, the butterfly cut is versatile and customizable to suit your preferences. It's also a great way to refresh your look without visiting a salon, making it one of the best haircuts for curly hair or straight hair.
Conclusion
Cutting your own hair in layers doesn’t have to be intimidating! With the butterfly haircut method, you can easily achieve professional-looking results from the comfort of your home. Whether you have 4c hair, 3b hair, or anything in between, this technique is suitable for all hair types.
