you're welcome! and thanks for responding! Quick question: I have long hair, about waist length. When I put it up in a ponytail it falls into two "chunks" (the top part of it is fuller and then there are longer pieces at the bottom), and there isn't an even gradient, if that makes sense. Any recommendations as to what I should ask for or do with my hair to make it look more normal? I would like to keep as much length as possible...also I'm realizing this question is a lot longer than intended, sry :P
yahee122 it sounds like you have tooo many layers in your hair and then a small chunk thats basically there to give you length. If you dont want to get rid of a bit of length you will have to let it grow a little more in order to get a cut to fade out the layers a little more :)
I cut my own hair and each of your hair tips haved helped me get a better cut each time, whether I'm just trimming or sorting my layers out. Your hair is gorgeous too! Thanks for these videos =)
I cut my sisters hair while I was in cosmetology school and since I had practiced on doll heads I thought "ok no big deal, I can do this" however the results were so far off than what we expected. I cut too much length off and gave her bangs. I guess i didn't expect hair to shrink so much after drying lol. So long story short, shes crying and I'm crying and my dad was just confused on what was going on lol the experience traumatized me and my sister for quite a while.. now I always do her hair :)
Cut my boyfriends hair, because he came home with a sidecut but the lengths weren't corrected at all- his hairdresser simple did a horizontal cut there and sent him home lol my bf refused to go back for a correction so I thinned out his thick asian hair so his sidecut didn't look like a mullet anymore lol (IT WAS A MULLETT)
Absolutely love this video - & I know you've done your own layers/bangs in your other videos, but would you be able to do another video like this showing from beginning to finish on the steps of giving layers/bangs to someone else? Thank you for your videos :)
I really enjoyed this video. Me and my sister used to cut each others hair way back in the early 80's when the farrah fawcet style was the rage. We would trim each others hair in between appointments to save money out of desperation! Neen
I just enjoy all your videos and it's helpful when communicating to hairstylist because us nonhairdressers don't know the language to communicate what we want.
Thank you for creating this tutorial! I use this to cut my beautiful daughters’ very forgiving wavy blond hair. It looks amazing and is so easy to to do.
I just finished an at-home trim with this technique and I am super impressed by the results! I didn't take much off (2 inches at the most) but it made a huge difference.
will you be doing your updated highlights soon? Just wondering because my roots are getting bad and I love your hair but I can only get wella. Just wondered when you might be doing it? Thank you :) Love your videos!
I follow u and use almost all of you’re techniques but the one thing I have to ask it where did u get the shirt me and my mom have been everywhere for them
Looks easy. I've been cutting my own hair. I graduated cosmetology school but moved States and never got my license. So I've cut friends and families hair and it is very nerve racking! I should get my license one of these days since I'm still paying for my schooling!
Hey! Soooooo appreciate these hair cutting tutorials! Always cut my children's hair (4 kids), had done my Mom's and now do my own. Didn't say I did it well, but....do ok. Please do a cut tutorial for a short shag style. I have fairly thick, except on sides, fine hair, with a bit of curl. keep it short since lost it during chemo 12 years ago (doing well now!). God bless you.....
ellebangs I have question for you I have dry frizzy overworked hair to help my hair with cutting it?? Thank you all the great tips and product recommendations ..
💇💕I don't get the complaining. I could hear the video fine and I have two girls yelling in my house. Thanks 4 sharing all of your tips and knowledge. I think that it gives ppl more "empowerment" when telling their stylist what they want instead of saying "I trust you" are you still using the same color combo on ur own hair. Looks fab as always. 😘💆
can you PLEASE do hair cut on "lizzy" of your exact hair cut? ? I'm SOO picky on my hair and so far your hair cut is the ONLY cut that I like please please do this
ellebangs Hey there I am so bummed I didn't get to meet you at Beauty Con today but I am so glad I stumbled upon your page! Please tell me where you get your blonde done?! It is stunning!... and I am desperate and new to the LA area Please Help! P.S love your channel very col vids
Aw woulda loved to meet you at BeautyCon. I do my own hair actually, check out my "how I went from brunette to blonde" video :) if you're ever in San Francisco come see me at my salon! :)
oh, ok. I was watching a Sam Villa video a little while back and I thought he'd mentioned using specific scissors for dry cuts. I'd never heard of such a thing, so I was just curious ;) Thanks!
They make scissors that are "better" for dry cutting or wet cutting. But at they end of the day super sharp high quality scissors will give you a clean cut no matter what.
I messed up this time a bit.. I didn't notice the Music to Voice volume until after I uploaded it..and I did it as I left for LA for #BeautyCon, so I cant really go fix it now O_o i normally have the background music half as loud as the voice.. my bad, hope it doen't make it too distracting.. thanks for watching :)
I'm a new subscriber! I watched you work your magic on JLovesMac1 :) I've already watched a few of your hair tutorials & I learned a tip or two already. I love it & thank you! :)
My hairdresser’s going to kill me. I keep watching these & hacking into my hair lol!! It’s too thick & unmanageable to do on my own sadly....but your videos are fantastic!! I hate having to pay for haircuts.
ellebangs yeessss! I would love to see that! I will be ecstatic when its up:) you're the best, Silvia! I honestly love my home blowouts thanks to you!! Keep it up! Your subs are GROWING😀😘 Xoxo
TheodorouC72 WildDoveX I didnt notice the Music to Voice volume until after I uploaded it..and I did it as I left for LA for #BeautyCon, so I cant really go fix it now O_o i normally have the background music half as loud as the voice.. my bad, hope it doen't make it too distracting.. thanks for watching :)
I always cut my sisters hair when she comes into town. It always turns out great, except when I convinced her she needed bangs. Yikes! We all kept telling her she looked FIERCE..."fierce bangs Federica!" Haha. I love to cut my sons hair, but my husband won't let me near his! Ha
I don't know why, but you make me calm down and relax when i see you cut hair. I don't know why, because I'm a boy and cutting hair does not interest me at all.
I'm thankful for your videos. I am very surprised though because I don't call this a layered cut. It looks like all you did was trim the edges and even them out. I was expecting to see a lot more layering....interesting videos by the way. I've subscribed! ;-)
She did say it was a layered cut. She said it is a also 4 point cut on somebody else!! It was layered , just to freshen up the layers after the trim. It was long layers. :)
Thanks for the video!! It bothers me when licensed cosmetologist don't like sharing or demonstrating things and also get mad when other licensed professionals do. It's hair! You not showing us how to add freon to our cars! Yes that's best left to a professional! I think you handle those naysayers very well in your comments I have to say. Don't they realized that the more open you are to teaching your client or just a person more overall you are to likely have their business overall as a client. Look how people want you to do their hair and wish they live in your city!

This one got a little messed up with the audio, I put the music volume way too high in contrast to the voice, by mistake and I left for LA just as I uploaded it so cant go back n fix it now boo. mmmm don't think my normal videos are too quiet though, but i'll look into it. thanks for watching and I hope you're really really good at reading lips! :)

omg I just re read what i wrote, and omg i sounded like i was being slighted rude, which i assure you i wasn't, my intentions were to say your freaken awesome, and I love your videos, just this one was something i listened to on my way to work, so probably was bit quieter then your past vids, again hope you understand! xoxo
ellebangs I HAVE THE HARDEST TIME HEARING ALL OF YOUR VIDEOS. VIDEOS OF OTHERS, I HEAR QUITE LOUDLY. IS THERE ANYWAY THAT YOU CAN TURN UP THE VOLUME ON YOUR VOICE ? YOU'RE MY FAV ON RUclips.
well, my theory is that people are going to do it regardlessly, so here's a few tips to help them along the way :) it's really simplified, and honestly pretty fail safe. Thanks for watching!
I'm not licensed or trained but this is helpful for a mom like me that can't afford to take my daughter to get her haircut at the salon.....Thank you ellebangs for the tips and showing us these simple steps!
I would be afraid of telling people how to cut hair from a video. I don't think it's as easy as watching a RUclips video & learning how to do a cut. Lots of mad folks after ruining their hair after attempting this. Lol
I cut my own hair and each of your hair tips haved helped me get a better cut each time, whether I'm just trimming or sorting my layers out. Your hair is gorgeous too! Thanks for these videos =)
I love that you aren't annoying and loud like a lot of other youtubers. Very refreshing. Jlovesmac sent me!
aw thanks :) so nice of her to give me all that publicity. love her, she's a superstar.

Have any of you ever attempted cutting someone else's hair? Crazy / Awesome / Nerve-wracking outcomes??! Please share your experience lol!
My sister and I cut each others hair once in a while for fun. We usually do pretty good! Will follow your steps next time! Great vid!

You definitely made that look easy! The only one I have ever cut was a guy who wanted it super short so that was pretty simple. ♥ Elle
haha this is really super easy too! :) thanks for watching as always. xo
I can hear you perfectly and i have my phone on less than half of the volume. I love all your tutorials. They're easy to follow and very detailed.
I was also wondering, what is your tip on getting even bleaching?
Great demonstration...scary model!! Was it real hair...couldn't take my eyes off the greys!! Hope it was from a live individual!! lol
yea it's real hair haha. those dummy things are like 60-120$ so better get some real person hair on there :D
I just finished an at-home trim with this technique and I am super impressed by the results! I didn't take much off (2 inches at the most) but it made a huge difference.

Are the scissors you're using specifically for dry cutting?
nop, there's no such thing. dry cutting is just fool proof because you can see right away when you make a mistake.. Thanks for watching :)
oh, ok. I was watching a Sam Villa video a little while back and I thought he'd mentioned using specific scissors for dry cuts. I'd never heard of such a thing, so I was just curious ;)
Thanks!
They make scissors that are "better" for dry cutting or wet cutting. But at they end of the day super sharp high quality scissors will give you a clean cut no matter what.
Gotcha...makes sense :) Thanks
Do you have a video to do this on yourself ?
I love your videos, very helpful!
I love that your model has some sparklers haha
It was hard to focus on what you were saying with the music :(

Your hair now have a beautiful color,what you use for hair dye
What's the name/brand of shears you use?
The music is distracting it was hard to hear you. But I enjoyed watching.
Better would have been music at half the volume it was, and you at double the volume it was. I too enjoyed watching!

Ok got fixed :-)
I poked my sisters eyes with the scissors while cutting her fringe. Luckily her eye was closed and so were the scissors.
geeeeezes, u got lucky lol.
hun your background audio music is louder then your voice, makes it harder to concentrate on your actual tutorial. but all and all your freak awesome!

YOU'RE TERRIFIC! THANKS!
I am a licensed cosmetologist and I wouldn't recommend cutting someone else's hair unless you are licensed and or trained!
well, my theory is that people are going to do it regardlessly, so here's a few tips to help them along the way :) it's really simplified, and honestly pretty fail safe. Thanks for watching!

ellebangs exactly… Not to mention, and I know it's not your point… It's mine. A lot of the chain cosmetologists don't cut here so good anyway
Not Her so true!!!!
Oops! Sorry about' I don't know why that happened :/
I couldn't hear you :(
I would be afraid of telling people how to cut hair from a video. I don't think it's as easy as watching a RUclips video & learning how to do a cut. Lots of mad folks after ruining their hair after attempting this. Lol
hahaha true, if you shave someone's head by mistake they wont be happy, this really is as easy as it gets though.!
are you a real hairstylist?
Yes, she is. Silvia (Ellebangs) has been in the business for a long time.
You look like shakira so much.
I can't see your work if you don't style it, not a very good video
I cut my own hair and each of your hair tips haved helped me get a better cut each time, whether I'm just trimming or sorting my layers out.
Your hair is gorgeous too! Thanks for these videos =)
Y can't I see it ? I hear u but a black screen comes
