Flat Ironed & Layered My Own Hair (Pics)

[tiffjust2002]

Now that title is a little misleading. Let me clarify I always flat iron my own hair but I recently for the first time cut layers in my own hair. I followed this youtube video http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=hamVwPGm3As

This is before the cut, after being flat ironed



After the Cut


Here is the hair I cut off


This is the next day after I wrapped my hair, slept and then added some curls with my big barrel curling iron.


Here is side view, you can really see the layers here.


I love my new cut!

Thick hair is yummy hair

Looks lovely! Makes me want to get a good cut but I'm still growing out a terrible, oddly layered one from a year ago.

Nice job! I use that ponytail method to trim my hair also, although I don't do the layers. Maybe I'll try this for the holidays

 

[yynot]

Very nice! Great job!

 

[sharifeh]

Very pretty. It's so full and thick. I'm too scared to bring scissors near my real hair, but I'll layer the mess out of my weaves lol.

Does layered hair make your hair look thicker asking because thinking of the layered look for me

 

[Lylddlebit]

Looks great. I love the fact that your hair looks exactly the same length after what looks like was a cut of at least an inch(judging from your sinks stopper). Great job

You did an amazing job!! When my hair gets your length, I plan on adding layers and color. It's nice to know that YOU CAN really do your own hair without the add of a hair stylist.

I think so personally, I think because it adds volume and dimension to your hair therefore appearing to look thicker I could be totally wrong though but that's just my thoughts. I get that effect on my hair vs. when it's all one length. Plus when I do braid outs, twist outs, or wash n go's I like the look of the shorter layers laying on top of the longer layers.

Me too I was amazed. Although I should note that I didn't cut much off that last bottom half, just a slight trim. I tried to cut the front and crown areas mostly, I didn't want to lose length.

That's why I decided to cut it myself because everytime in the past I've been to a salon to get layers and I ALWAYS say I don't want to lose any length just layer the middle I'd always come out with some fly layers but like 2-3 inches of length gone. So never again, I'll be a DIY'er fo life (in my Ice Cube voice )
