Hey guys!!! It's Rebeccah, the stylist from the video, I'm so happy you all like the video so much!! I am so happy to have even a small part in it! Gabi is a sweet beautiful angel!
Oh my gosh woman, you have been a life saver. I'm slowly letting my layers grow out. I started losing my hair in my early 20's and I have so been enjoying your content. Im 50 now and more confident than ever styling and using all the tips and tricks you have recommended for all of us fabulous thin, fine haired girls! Thank you so much 💖🙏
I was raised by my father and my mother was absent so I didn't learn anything about hair care, make up etc. The past few days I've been learning about hair care. Thank you for making this video The final results & styling section of the video was helpful because it let me see how that hair cut looks without products and styling as well know what hair tools create which appearances 👍.
took me 30 , did this same thing a few years ago after years of horrible layers on long very thin and fine hair. It not only look fuller now after 5 years, I think my hair actually started growing back and is less damaged since it kind of groups together and protects itself. Eliminating layers was the best thing I ever did, Im just sorry I didnt try it before
TRUE * I have worn this same cut and style for all of my adult life. I have thin blond hair and discovered as a teen that this cut worked great, so I kept it for most of my life with just a couple exceptions when I tried something different. I’m 65 yrs now and it still looks good as I am turning grey. Great FYI for ladies with thin hair! Ty. 👍🏼 🇺🇸 ♥️
This is so great, I almost went back to the salon to do layers!!! Thinking my hair looks boring this way, I have been cutting it the exact same way - same size - for years now. Thank you so much for reminding me that layers are not a good hairstyle for fine hair!!!
I am a licensed cosmetologist and I used to get scolded for starting haircuts in the front. I haven't worked as a hairstylist for many years, but it is nice to know I wasn't a bad hairstylist for starting in the front. My clients loved my haircuts, but the owner of the salon always mad me feel like I was doing things wrong.
I agree do NOT get layers!!!! I have fine hair too. Great video! And her cutting "into" the underneath to prevent the bottom hair swooping out...genius!!!!
I was 34 years old when I met the hairdresser that confirmed my suspicions that layers just made my ends look whispy, and introduced me to this exact cut (including cutting upwards into it.) It's literally life changing. Another tip I got is a tougher one to put into practice: flipping the orientation of my side part to the other side. She cut my curtain or "side bangs" so that they fall beautifully no matter which side I brush them over to so that was a non- issue. I noticed an even greater change in volume when doing this, of course it's because the hair is being "bent" into the opposite direction than it's used to and lifts up at the roots as it wants to fall back to its favored (usual) side. For me, I swear I look completely different with my hair parted the other direction and I'm not sure I like it, lol, but it's a tip worth mentioning in case others don't have this same issue.
I agree 100% on "flipping" the side part. Additionally, as with most people, my eyes are asymmetrical, the right being larger. So, flip to left, when I have photos taken, want to literally have my best side visible and so on 😉
I have super fine hair and have been considering a shorter lob style myself and after seeing this I"m in love with it! I will definitely be going to my stylist with this.
Yes! Yes! Yes! I have been following this principal for several years with my fine, thin hair and it is a lifesaver. I usually get a monthly short bob but sometimes grow it out to a lob when I'm just too busy to make it to the salon, or have had covid symptoms and needed to cancel. I get so many compliments on my hair now. My stylist has now adopted this approach with her other clients with thinner hair as well.
Thank you for affirming this! Am getting so tired of that thin see-through layer at the bottom of my hair. I'm afraid if I go all one length right now it will be too short, but I'm getting there! Your hair looks amazing - I would never guess you had fine hair!
Yes totally! I think that is why I am so in love with this haircut. I can literally do EVERYTHING I did with my long hair but have it actually look thick and not wispy and awful. When I want length (for like a low bun updo or a long ponytail), I just add extensions. I have a video called "Four Days with FINE HAIR" coming out soon showing five different styles over four different days (tutorials on all of them) so stay tuned for that. I am excited for that video.
Omg I have been saying this for years and stylists are always wanting to give you layers!!! You have no idea how many times I have tried to get this haircut and always come out with a graduated bob. So much that I started cutting my own hair in a straight line, it’s not easy but looks so much cuter now, I’ll have to find a stylist and show her this video LOL.
I just have to say "Thank you!!". I have been struggling with my hair for years and getting older with peri-menopausal thinning is hard to deal with. I know I wanted this haircut but now I know exactly how to ask for it. And for the first time in a long time, I am looking forward to getting it cut. I can't thank you enough.
Omg! You hit the nail on the head! I’ve had this problem for all my life with layers! I realized this same awakening some time ago and have been growing my hair for over 6 mths to get this type of bob cut. Love your haircut 🥰
Love that cut!! Would love to see a video on how you dried and styled your hair as well as products used to get that straight flowy style! Absolutely beautiful!
I had *just* watched a video where the hair stylist said that layering gave those with fine hair more volume. I was like "WHAT?!" But, I was gonna try it because he made it look plausible. After finding and watching your video, I'm not wanting to layer my hair anymore. I have really fine hair and am over 50 YO. So, it's back to the "book of styles" for me to hopefully be able to choose a hairstyle I like. I'm going in a couple of days to get my hair highlighted. I have brunette hair with individual natural strands of grey, throughout. Have found a picture of how I'm wanting my hair to look, and, I hope the stylist I'm going to can indeed make my hair look like the picture. Thank you for posting this video - I feel it has saved me a bunch of tears. 😉👍😻
Absolutely!!! it took me YEARS of bad haircuts to actually find someone that suggested cutting it blunt to make it look thicker. The difference is HUGE! Layers into fine hair - bad idea! They always made it look wispy and lifeless. It only had volume when styled at the salon right after cutting it. And the split ends would be spread aaaalll over my head. Blunt cuts for the win!!! ☺️☺️☺️
I went to the hairdressers after doing my research! She trued to suggest layers to hive volume but I asked for a blunt cut with face framing layers. I got what I wanted and looks so much better! Thank you for your advice for fine hair its saved me from terrible hair cuts!! xx
Hi Rebecca..I actually did not believe that your hair was not thick, until I watched this. I don’t work much now as a stylist, but boy do I see a lot of super layered hair. It is crazy. It looks like there is no hair left on the sides especially. It is hard to teach people that the less layers the look is better . My husband and I did hair together . You are absolutely beautiful. Do u do make up too. I used to have to do make up for make overs and weddings. I know more now than way back then, but no one complained so guess I did ok.. I really enjoy your videos. You never completely give up hair..it is in our blood ❤
So glad that I found your channel. I’ve been loosing my hair for months due to Covid and it’s very thin. I’m definitely going to grow all my layers out. Always had them because was told they would make your hair look thicker . Thank you.
Love the versatility and look of this cut! My main struggle is I have bangs..... a hard thing to grow out when I've had them for all my adult years! Nice to hear that your in Ontario too! 😊
Thanks for sharing, that cut looks great on you. I'm 52 and have fine hair. I used to have a lot of hair though. My hair has been falling a lot for nearly a decade and continues to fall. I've had bangs since I was a child, I don't think I'll ever wear a haircut without bangs. I moved to Westport NY from Washington State and need to find a hairdresser.
GGG, I cannot tell you how grateful I am to you and the info you put out there! Fellow fine, frizzy haired gal. Solid 2a/b hair. Unless you have this hair type you have no clue. I’ve been going with wavy/curly, but as you mention in one of your videos, it NEVER looks good on day 2. No matter what method or product. Also have sad thinning. Won’t go into all of why my hair has rapidly and dramatically thinner (except to say I am dealing with and proactively working on it), but bottom line is I’ve felt so hideous over they past year. Was going with a heavily layered shaggy type cut. Always was a struggle to hide the thinness and always felt bad. Always. Then I watched your videos on the short blunt bob with no layers and a slight angle towards the front. God blessed me a a new stylist who is of one mind as you and I GOT AN AMAZING CUT! Every day I LOVE MY HAIR NOW. I wish I could post pics here, but the change is dramatic in a wonderful way. I got mine pretty short, but my hair looks twice a thick, is almost one length now (praise God!), and it’s a pleasure to wash/style now. It looks so chic straight and even looks great curly!!!! Thank you Gabi for the great content you’re putting out there. God bless you!
Love all your different hair styles. I too have fine thin hair and fell for "layering will make it look thicker"; it was a disaster. Blunt shoulder length has worked best for me. Wish I had the know how to style my hair as you do. Thanks for sharing.
You my friend are gorgeous, smart and so on point. I have been told to get layers and always looked like a stringy mess. I am using MD Hair products and my hair is growing out nice. I recently got a stylist tell me to go with stacked bob to get more volume. I drank the Kool aid and hated it. I got a stylist I trust and she trimmed it up to get it closer to blunt, though short it is growing out nicely. I love your hair length and hopefully by year end it will be back to lob. I am going to make my stylist watch this video before the next cut. Thank you Gabi, your videos are made for my hair.
I never get my hair cut at a salon because I’m embarrassed by how thin my hair is, I always have my hair up in a bun but I’m going to try and cut it myself so thank you for detailing how she cut it ❤
I just watched your video and OMG! It seems like my whole adult life stylists tell me to get layers, and it has the effect you’re talking about with having the ends seem stringy and skimpy. Then I grow it out but after a while I want a change, and guess what! More layers that I end up hating! This video makes so much sense!
Welcome to my life for literally 36 years (well maybe 35 because I didn’t have hair when I was a baby 😂). It’s so true. It feels like no layers is the boring solution but it can be the most beautiful solution at the same time! Glad it made sense to you.
I m sold, i m getting a blunt cut. I did the butterfly haircut a month ago and now i feel like my hair is thin but i know it isnt. So happy i found this video 💛
I am beyond thrilled that I found your channel!!! I have baby fine, thin hair..THANK YOU for all of your tips and tricks to styling! Helps renew hope that maybe I can do more than just have my hair lay flat to my head. Now if I can get the execution of some of styles down that would be super..haha!!! Love all of your videos! Thank you again!!!♡♡♡♡
Yay! Thank you so much for your message. I am so happy that you found my channel as well. I have a video coming out soon called Four Days of Fine Hair and I show you how I style my hair for four straight days. It goes over hot tools, products, tips, tricks and even hacks. You may find that one super helpful if you're still learning how to style your hair. Stay tuned hair bestie!
Thanks for the advice Gabi! I haven't cut my hair since before covid and when it's so long it looks very fine and thin! I can't wait to get it cut back into a blunt bob- I felt so much prettier when I had one. I needed your inspiration 🙂
I’m excited for you Amy! It will be your goal hair and then you can have a ton of fun styling it! If you end up doing it, tag me on Instagram @glamgirlgabi so I can see!
This video is right on point, and just in time for all us ladies that have experienced hair loss during Covid. My hair has always been thick and I had plenty of it. I had dramatic hair loss after contracting covid and have been raking my mind trying to find a solution. I thank you for myself and all women facing sudden hair loss. ❤️😘 I will take this vid to hairdresser . It looks beautiful on you
Hi Gabi, I took your advice and got this cut and think I may have written about it to you in the past. I wanted to find out what color or what I would tell a stylist to get a similar color to yours in this video. I watched your hair color video when you had yours very long and dark and through the steps you gave know I am a warm tone brown. I always use dye from a box (affordability). but this time went to a beauty supply shop instead of the drugstore to pick a color. I purchased one that came out dark with no dimension. I picked a neutral (before I watched your video) and it was simply too dark and flat. I was meeting old friends today and panicked but saw a video from another influencer who suggested part developer and part baking soda. Lo and behold it worked like a charm! I rinsed with a clarifying wash shampoo then deep conditioner. My hair is perfect. It was indeed a happy accident and I cannot stop looking at my hair with dimension and color...looks like a salon...crazy! To avoid this again, was just wondering if you could give any tips. The last drugstore bottle I did came out very red and it was a dark brown as well. The gray growing out with the brassy red tones just looked awful-that's why I thought I'd go to the beauty supply and thus ended with this happy accident. Anyway, LOVE your content as always, just wondering if I do go to a pro, what to tell them to get the nice caramel highlights you have. If you think they'll know, please disregard, but thought I'd ask anyway. You are the best and thanks for all of your amazing content!
I found your channel a couple months ago and after watching a similar video was brave enough to cut my long, layered fine hair into a lob!! And I love it 😭🥰 Thank you!
I've been looking for a new hair style for my long over grown fine hair. I'm going tomorrow. Hopefully the stylist can pull off this cut! Wish me luck on a tight budget!
thank you for confirming this. for 30+ years i have kept changing stylists because they insists i need layers. finally found one that agreed with me but then i move far away and have to start again
Your videos have changed my life! I have fine feather like frizzy hair that I have been growing out to one length. If I could just figure out which product to use to get it to hold the waves, I’ll be really thrilled!
Hey Teena! It's so nice to hear that the videos have helped you! That is exactly why I spend all of this time doing these. I really am here to help women feel their best. :) Have you seen the TYMO airflow video? This hot tool is really good in getting fine hair to hold: ruclips.net/video/3aGX8UfEGlQ/видео.html I also did a curling video that talks about reasons why your hair won't hold: ruclips.net/video/P6u2PKyiThI/видео.html
I just made the chop and I totally agree. So much fullness and volume. I didn’t see this video until now. Affirms my choice. Post Covid hair loss made things worse so this was the best choice.
So many great tips! I've never had a stylist start cutting in the front. I'm 66 and every stylist I've ever gone to starts cutting in the back. How does one tactfully ask for this, and to cut upwards into the hair once length has been cut, without offending them? Thank you for your great, informative videos!
Layers give my fine curls diamond head! Flat on top, poofed out at chin length, then tapered in to nearly invisible pointed ends. Horrible! Worse than triangle head! I decided to grow my hair to all one length and couldn't be happier with the fullness and volume. This video confirms I made the right decision. Your advice is spot-on and for that, I thank you!
You are a godsend! I’ve been having post covid hair loss-Telogen Effluvium. I am getting this cut tomorrow. I am infinitely grateful for you! Can you please, please do a tutorial for the look at the beginning of the video that looks like a French roll and you’re walking in a field?🙏🏻💕
Thank you for this video. I always had thick hair but as I got older and after menopause my hair because much thinner. I am going to give this haircut a try, Thank you for bringing us to the hair dresser with you and explaining how to get this look. Thank you soo much!!
I’ve had one person cut my hair well like this and since I’ve always told the stylists: blunt cut w/ a slight under cut (cut up to avoid the flip) and minor face frame. No one has ever gotten it. Thanks for the video.
Nice to have this confirmed. I was always told to add layers to my "thick unruly" hair to make it more manageable and it always looked terrible. They even used to go in with thinning shears on my hair. I got the idea from Milabu about 2 years ago to have zero layers when I watched her vlog of her haircut. I actually say to the hairdresser - no layers, not a single one just to make sure. There are some good tips here - I didn't quite follow the bit where she cut up into the hair. Oh can you also do a tutorial on your French braid - I am hopeless at them!
Hey! I have a really easy French braid tutorial right here: How To Do A French Braid For Beginners | Step By Step | On Someone Else ruclips.net/video/P9qt0B3PHzc/видео.html
I also am cutting my hair this way and Love it,It took me many years to finally realize layers don’t work for my fine hair, Now I know why my mom had me wearing a Bob when I was little....
I had my hair cut 10 days ago. I chopped off 20cm. After it has been damaged in April with highlights that the stylist went overboard with, too much blonde and too light. I now want to transition back to my dark/medium brown. The haircut isn't great (also she has left one side shirted than the other) but the length is doing good for the overall look of my hair as it looks fuller and thicker. And my hair is super fine. It's a long bob/medium length . Good advice !!
This is perfect timing since I have a haircut appointment in a few days! I am definitely going to ask for this cut. My hair is a lot thinner than it used to be so your advice to lay off of the layers (which used to be my go-to) is so helpful!
Hi Gabi, I watched your previous video about this haircut a couple of months ago and it was the best advice I have ever gotten for my fine thin hair!!! I immediately cut it myself, and though I'm not a hairdresser and it was pretty rough, it is the best hair cut I've ever had. I am almost 53, and spent my whole life underwhelmed by any professional cut I've ever had.... always with the layers they said I needed!! I feel 39 and fabulous with this cut, even just rolling out of bed on day 3 hair. Thank you so much!!! I do have an issue I am looking for help with, my part is very long... I generally wear a center part but it goes off to the side down the back of my head and it is so tricky to hide. Would so appreciate any advice on this!🙂
That is amazing to read Christina! This cut was honestly life changing for me too. It seems so vain to say that, but a great cut can make you feel like a totally different person! I am so glad that you have had that experience with it as well. As for the part situation, do you blow out your hair? I use a blow out brush to give myself a lot of volume at the crown of my head. I also often use velcro rollers. Have you tried that before? You need to control the hair from the wet stage to offset that long part that is naturally happening because of your growth pattern. I made a video tutorial about how I blow dry my hair and get a lot of volume. Here is the link: ruclips.net/video/7cOQm4f47g4/видео.html
I have fine hair and most want to give me a few layers. I tell them no as it makes my hair look awful and ultimately makes me depressed with a bad cut. It also looks dirty really fast. I’m waiting to have it cut by the right person. This has been a life long struggle. Thank you for sharing. You look gorgeous with this style
Thanks for a great video, I am very happy to have found a Canadian creator here. I found your channel through the recommendation of another utuber but can remember who! I am going to show this video to m stylest at my next appointment!
This cut looks amazing on you! I too have fine hair (but a lot of it, so I'm told) and, for the majority of my life, hairstylists have recommended layers to add volume. I was never happy with the wispy bottom layer that flew out when I walked (ugh!). I'm slowly getting my cut to grow out to one length, just meeting at the shoulder, and now the right side constantly flips out even though I use my styling tool exactly the same way on both sides. My stylist said it was because I had less hair on that side. Hmmm. Any suggestions? P.S. "Hi" from western Canada!
Gabi, you are very talented in styling your hair. I'm very intrigued to learn them even though after bilateral carpal tunnel surgeries left my left hand strength much weaker which often keeps using the curling iron less balanced looking. I just keep telling myself "It's only hair" but oh how I long to have your know-how! TY for sharing! Maybe I'll get the zero layers long bob cut next time. (I will wash my fresh cut hair tonight and get to style it myself to see what it's really like. I live that my stylist friend's curls hold so well compared to how mine usually turn out. I know it's lots of different products. I avoid gluten containing ones. 🤔)
I went down and had my hair cut into a bob, with a straight cut with no layers. I really love the haircut. You can do a lot of hairstyles with it even though it is not that long.
I love the fact that I don't need my hair layered. I knew she was wrong when she (my hairdresser)told me it would look thinker if it was layered. This is so good to know.
My hair is fine as in smooth but I have a lot of it, so layering suits me if I want some volume & movement, otherwise the weight of it pulls it down flat and straight.
Countdown! 38 hours until my appointment when I get this haircut! Wish me luck! Not to be dramatic, but I don't remember ever being this excited for a hair appointment!
Ugh, I remember finally getting a blunter cut, and then the stylist "texturized" the ends, so I left the salon looking like I badly needed a haircut. I've been trimming it myself ever since, but I need to go a bit shorter so I'm going to bookmark this video and show it to them.
I had layers put through my hair and my thin hair looks thinner. So after watching this video , I am growing them out. I was under the Impression that layers give movement and make the hair look thicker. Nope they don"t. Thank you for this video xxx
I so agree with what you said. I have a similar issue. When I had layers I hated how thin my hair looked. Then I asked my hairdresser to cut it one length for me and it made much more difference and I have the volume illusion that you mentioned. It even feels healthier and less hair falls off than when I had layers. The only difference from your hairstyle is that I left mine a little taller. I feel that due to my obesity, the length gives an illusion of slimming my face.
*I feel that due to my obesity, the length gives an illusion of slimming my face* Agree. Why I hesitate on getting a chin length bob. With my heavy body, I'd look like a bowling pin. Having longer hair that I can style and curl, makes me fondly believe I'm balancing out my frame as much as possible.
Aw, I had a blunt cut and it looked amazing on my thin hair. Then my hair grew and I got a few long layers. And the other week I got even more layers in my curly/wavy thin hair and the hair stylist cut a very short layer in (I didn’t object, but now I remember after I saw your video). I don’t like the super short layer. I’m going to grow it all out and have one length, at collar bone length. Just came across your channel and saw your video about face shapes and body shape… and I’m petite but curvy, so I find that I don’t quite like bobs, but more longer wavy hair about collar bone length. Thanks for your videos and helping me think of what I like best. 🥰💕
If you’re petite, curvy and have curly/wavy hair, try a cut that sits about an inch or two below the collar bone and has some long layers. The long layers will help a lot with curl. If your face is rounder, opt out of short face framing layers and keep it longer at the front. If it’s not round you can face frame so the curls dance around your face. 😘
@@GlamGirlGabi thanks so much for your tips. My face is a long oval… I think that’s oblong? I find I like a long fringe… I think it’s called a long curtain bang? I think that length below the collar bone sounds nice. If my hair gets too long, then it makes my face feel even longer, which i don’t like. 😅 🙂💕
Hey Joanna! I am so happy that you are loving this haircut as much as I do! If you want a 90s supermodel tutorial, check out this video: ruclips.net/video/7cOQm4f47g4/видео.html I explained in detail how I achieve this result here.
Hi Gabi. I love the content of your videos. I have fine textured straight hair that is somewhat dense in quantity. I have had variations of the same cut for decades (since my high school graduation lol). Shorter layers, longer layers - it makes no difference. My hair is flat and sticks to my head. Your cut and color are absolutely stunning 😍
If your hair is always sticking to your head then you need some styling tips! Do you blow your hair out? Check out this video next because this is the #1 way that I get my hair to look super full: ruclips.net/video/7cOQm4f47g4/видео.html
The last time I went to get my haircut was a nightmare. I wanted a shoulder length blunt bob, and they told me an angled bob would look better on me. They nearly cut off all my hair in the back. It was the worst haircut I've ever gotten. I've been having a hard time finding a stylist I love. I go get another cut in 1.5 weeks at a different salon, I hope they can pull this off. Wish me Luck!!
Another way to describe it is a one length 0 degree Bob. Tell them the last haircut was a "A - line" Bob, and it didn't work out for ya..Hope that helps!
I have been asking for a blunt cut with no layers for years but not all hairdressers are like Rebecca, they just can't help themselves and before you know it you come out looking like a stick if candy floss 😢 It's great to have a video I can show to a hairdresser so there is no misunderstanding, thank you so much xxxxxxx
So I got this haircut done today- it is not the right fit for me. I don't regret it though. I have fine hair, but a lot of it- I am naturally ash blonde and very fair. This haircut makes my hair feel heavy and have absolutely no volume. That is ok! Better luck next time and I really enjoyed being able to have a quick video to show my stylist (I skipped to that part) to describe exactly what I wanted. It was worth a shot! Thank you:)
Gaby, I love your channel. I took your advice and I got the short bob (longer in the front haircut) for the summer. I loved the cut and agree that it helped make my hair look fuller. I am ready to start gradually growing it out to a blunt bob. But how do I tell my stylist to cut the front first? She has been doing hair for 20+ years, and worked for many years in NYC. How do you tell a professional that you know better? Seems like a way to ruin a relationship with an otherwise competent stylist. I have lived a lot of places and have had at least a dozen stylists over the years, and none of them cut the sides/front first.
Hey Kim! Yay!! I’m so happy you loved your summer hair! If you’re happy with how she cuts the hair and the front and back are always even, I wouldn’t tell her to cut the front first. This way that Rebeccah does it works for her but every stylist is an artist who creates in their own way. If she’s giving you great haircuts that you love, don’t fix what isn’t broken. ❤️
Thank you Gabi! Because of your advice, I don’t suffer many bad hair days at all, and my hair looks great! I have a few ideas for videos (based on stuff I have questions about): fine hair and soft water vs. hard water - how to beat the droop; shampoo bars - why are they so terrible for fine hair; ACV products and fine, porous hair - are they miracle workers; Nutrafol and other hair supplements - are they worth it?
Love this. Desperately growing out my "layers" which have only made the bottom parts of my now naturally wavy but fine hair look scraggly and wayward. I'm in that awkward in between phase and keep some of it longer so I can wear it up in summer while the rest catches up. I have "Lob" on my wish list for 51st birthday in August!! Question: - My layers are still growing out. Can we get the basic shape of this cut even before ALL the layers have grown out? Or is it better to wait until it's all able to be one length? Thank you for this!
I love your haircut my hair is fine and every time I get a haircut the stylist layers my hair and I end up with thin ends or one long strand in the back. I definitely will take this video in to show my next hair dresser.
I'm showing my stylist this video and will ask for this cut next time. I would love to learn what products you use to keep your hair looking so smooth and healthy. I'm sure the color helps, which I don't do, but my hair frizzes and looks dry all the time. Post menopause doesn't help!
Thank you Gabi! My hairdresser always recommended layers to my wavy hair....now I know how it should be done. It's too bad your hairdresser is in Waterloo not in Toronto 😀. Love your suggestions!!
Do you wear your hair with natural waves often? If you do, that’s likely why they’re recommending layers. Wavy and curly hair does look better layered.
@@mariapawlicka2487 Yes that would likely be the reason. When you don't layer wavy hair it goes into a triangle shape. I still wear my hair naturally wavy and I actually like the width around my face since I have a long thin face but most people don't love that. There's no harm in trying it and if you don't love it, when you go for your next cut, you can layer it again.
@@GlamGirlGabi if the wave pattern is strong enough. I have very, very loose waves from the ears down when my hair is long but whenever I wanted a bob and the stylist put layers in "because it brings out the waves" it would sadly just cause my ends to turn outwards like crazy. Not even a straightener was able to turn them inwards for more than an hour 😅
I’ve clipped the portion of this video where you say how to prevent the annoying “flippy out Bob” to show my stylist she I really hope it doesn’t offend her. She’s amazing but I continually have that problem. Thank you for this video!
I watched one of your earlier videos about the cut for fine hair--and I immediately talked to my stylist about just giving me a blunt cut all around. But then she started to pull the hair out and trim the ends--which basically resulted in NOT a blunt cut. OK, so I chalked it up to a failure to communicate. The next time, I was very specific about only cutting the bottom. That seemed to do the trick. However, I usually just let my natural curls air dry so I've just been cutting it myself since any unevenness melts away in my curls.
Wow!! Don't know if you have ever been told but girl you don't need any makeup you have natural beauty 😍 I wish I was as lucky as you are I would never wear makeup 😔.. But just wanted to say you are absolutely gorgeous 🥰
Your hair looks beautiful with this cut! But, your hair looks naturally wavy and the waves make your hair look like it has some movement. What do you do when your hair is not only fine, but also straight - doesn't hold a curl for very long - no matter what you do? I feel like without some modest layering, fine, straight medium length hair looks lifeless, but how do you do modest layering for this type of hair? Any suggestions?
I seen my hair stylist today. I had been interested in going 1 lenghth except a little in front. When I finally got her to look at ur pics here that you stated was 1 length. She didn't believe it was 1 length & she could see all the layers in it, when I showed her the 1 curled with a curling iron. Every time I have ever showed her a pic of anything I like she has some negative to say.
Hey guys!!! It's Rebeccah, the stylist from the video, I'm so happy you all like the video so much!! I am so happy to have even a small part in it! Gabi is a sweet beautiful angel!
Yaaaaaay our girl has entered the conversation! Rebeccah has a channel too so if you love her cut and style, check her out over there!
Hi Rebeccah I live in Barrie. How can I contact you to make an appointment. Thank you so much, Sylvia
Contact her over where?
Looks fabulous ,well done 👏👏🌹
my hair is thick... but I love the haircut ❤❤❤
Oh my gosh woman, you have been a life saver. I'm slowly letting my layers grow out. I started losing my hair in my early 20's and I have so been enjoying your content. Im 50 now and more confident than ever styling and using all the tips and tricks you have recommended for all of us fabulous thin, fine haired girls! Thank you so much 💖🙏
What a sweet message!!! Welcome to the community Yvonne. I’m so happy that all of the styling tips have come in handy! 🤗
I agree love this cut, going to ask for it
Welche Tönung benutzt du?
I was raised by my father and my mother was absent so I didn't learn anything about hair care, make up etc.
The past few days I've been learning about hair care. Thank you for making this video The final results & styling section of the video was helpful because it let me see how that hair cut looks without products and styling as well know what hair tools create which appearances 👍.
I really loved the part that you mentioned " it has taken 36 years to finally find the best hair style " pure enthusiasm and honesty
took me 30 , did this same thing a few years ago after years of horrible layers on long very thin and fine hair. It not only look fuller now after 5 years, I think my hair actually started growing back and is less damaged since it kind of groups together and protects itself. Eliminating layers was the best thing I ever did, Im just sorry I didnt try it before
TRUE * I have worn this same cut and style for all of my adult life. I have thin blond hair and discovered as a teen that this cut worked great, so I kept it for most of my life with just a couple exceptions when I tried something different. I’m 65 yrs now and it still looks good as I am turning grey. Great FYI for ladies with thin hair! Ty. 👍🏼 🇺🇸 ♥️
This is so great, I almost went back to the salon to do layers!!! Thinking my hair looks boring this way, I have been cutting it the exact same way - same size - for years now.
Thank you so much for reminding me that layers are not a good hairstyle for fine hair!!!
I am a licensed cosmetologist and I used to get scolded for starting haircuts in the front. I haven't worked as a hairstylist for many years, but it is nice to know I wasn't a bad hairstylist for starting in the front. My clients loved my haircuts, but the owner of the salon always mad me feel like I was doing things wrong.
I agree do NOT get layers!!!! I have fine hair too. Great video! And her cutting "into" the underneath to prevent the bottom hair swooping out...genius!!!!
I kinda like the flipped up look sometimes, is that not cool anymore ? 😂
I was 34 years old when I met the hairdresser that confirmed my suspicions that layers just made my ends look whispy, and introduced me to this exact cut (including cutting upwards into it.) It's literally life changing. Another tip I got is a tougher one to put into practice: flipping the orientation of my side part to the other side. She cut my curtain or "side bangs" so that they fall beautifully no matter which side I brush them over to so that was a non- issue. I noticed an even greater change in volume when doing this, of course it's because the hair is being "bent" into the opposite direction than it's used to and lifts up at the roots as it wants to fall back to its favored (usual) side. For me, I swear I look completely different with my hair parted the other direction and I'm not sure I like it, lol, but it's a tip worth mentioning in case others don't have this same issue.
This is an amazing tip! Thanks for contributing to the conversation!
I agree 100% on "flipping" the side part. Additionally, as with most people, my eyes are asymmetrical, the right being larger. So, flip to left, when I have photos taken, want to literally have my best side visible and so on 😉
I have super fine hair and have been considering a shorter lob style myself and after seeing this I"m in love with it! I will definitely be going to my stylist with this.
Yes! Yes! Yes! I have been following this principal for several years with my fine, thin hair and it is a lifesaver. I usually get a monthly short bob but sometimes grow it out to a lob when I'm just too busy to make it to the salon, or have had covid symptoms and needed to cancel. I get so many compliments on my hair now. My stylist has now adopted this approach with her other clients with thinner hair as well.
My hair stylists gave me this exact hair cut and my hair never looked this full and lively before 😍⭐
Thank you for affirming this! Am getting so tired of that thin see-through layer at the bottom of my hair. I'm afraid if I go all one length right now it will be too short, but I'm getting there! Your hair looks amazing - I would never guess you had fine hair!
Love how many styles you showed with this cut! I was surprised how much you can do with a length than is moderate. Looks lovely 💕
Yes totally! I think that is why I am so in love with this haircut. I can literally do EVERYTHING I did with my long hair but have it actually look thick and not wispy and awful. When I want length (for like a low bun updo or a long ponytail), I just add extensions. I have a video called "Four Days with FINE HAIR" coming out soon showing five different styles over four different days (tutorials on all of them) so stay tuned for that. I am excited for that video.
Omg I have been saying this for years and stylists are always wanting to give you layers!!! You have no idea how many times I have tried to get this haircut and always come out with a graduated bob. So much that I started cutting my own hair in a straight line, it’s not easy but looks so much cuter now, I’ll have to find a stylist and show her this video LOL.
I just have to say "Thank you!!". I have been struggling with my hair for years and getting older with peri-menopausal thinning is hard to deal with. I know I wanted this haircut but now I know exactly how to ask for it. And for the first time in a long time, I am looking forward to getting it cut. I can't thank you enough.
Glad I could help!
Omg! You hit the nail on the head! I’ve had this problem for all my life with layers! I realized this same awakening some time ago and have been growing my hair for over 6 mths to get this type of bob cut. Love your haircut 🥰
At last someone with sense! No layers. Thank you ❤
Love that cut!! Would love to see a video on how you dried and styled your hair as well as products used to get that straight flowy style! Absolutely beautiful!
I had *just* watched a video where the hair stylist said that layering gave those with fine hair more volume. I was like "WHAT?!" But, I was gonna try it because he made it look plausible. After finding and watching your video, I'm not wanting to layer my hair anymore. I have really fine hair and am over 50 YO. So, it's back to the "book of styles" for me to hopefully be able to choose a hairstyle I like. I'm going in a couple of days to get my hair highlighted. I have brunette hair with individual natural strands of grey, throughout. Have found a picture of how I'm wanting my hair to look, and, I hope the stylist I'm going to can indeed make my hair look like the picture. Thank you for posting this video - I feel it has saved me a bunch of tears. 😉👍😻
Absolutely!!! it took me YEARS of bad haircuts to actually find someone that suggested cutting it blunt to make it look thicker. The difference is HUGE!
Layers into fine hair - bad idea! They always made it look wispy and lifeless. It only had volume when styled at the salon right after cutting it. And the split ends would be spread aaaalll over my head.
Blunt cuts for the win!!! ☺️☺️☺️
Blunt cuts for the win!!! Such an amazing solution for us fine hair girls of the world!
I use many of Gabi’s advices for my fine hair. I just love watching her; she seems genuinely kind, positive and helpful. 🌹🙏🏻
I went to the hairdressers after doing my research! She trued to suggest layers to hive volume but I asked for a blunt cut with face framing layers. I got what I wanted and looks so much better! Thank you for your advice for fine hair its saved me from terrible hair cuts!! xx
True! I tryed layers this year but regretted it right after! Hope they grow fast to gain back their fullness ❤️
Hi Rebecca..I actually did not believe that your hair was not thick, until I watched this. I don’t work much now as a stylist, but boy do I see a lot of super layered hair. It is crazy. It looks like there is no hair left on the sides especially. It is hard to teach people that the less layers the look is better . My husband and I did hair together . You are absolutely beautiful. Do u do make up too. I used to have to do make up for make overs and weddings. I know more now than way back then, but no one complained so guess I did ok.. I really enjoy your videos. You never completely give up hair..it is in our blood ❤
So glad that I found your channel. I’ve been loosing my hair for months due to Covid and it’s very thin. I’m definitely going to grow all my layers out. Always had them because was told they would make your hair look thicker . Thank you.
Love the versatility and look of this cut!
My main struggle is I have bangs..... a hard thing to grow out when I've had them for all my adult years!
Nice to hear that your in Ontario too! 😊
Thanks for sharing, that cut looks great on you. I'm 52 and have fine hair. I used to have a lot of hair though. My hair has been falling a lot for nearly a decade and continues to fall. I've had bangs since I was a child, I don't think I'll ever wear a haircut without bangs. I moved to Westport NY from Washington State and need to find a hairdresser.
GGG, I cannot tell you how grateful I am to you and the info you put out there!
Fellow fine, frizzy haired gal. Solid 2a/b hair. Unless you have this hair type you have no clue. I’ve been going with wavy/curly, but as you mention in one of your videos, it NEVER looks good on day 2. No matter what method or product.
Also have sad thinning. Won’t go into all of why my hair has rapidly and dramatically thinner (except to say I am dealing with and proactively working on it), but bottom line is I’ve felt so hideous over they past year. Was going with a heavily layered shaggy type cut. Always was a struggle to hide the thinness and always felt bad. Always.
Then I watched your videos on the short blunt bob with no layers and a slight angle towards the front. God blessed me a a new stylist who is of one mind as you and I GOT AN AMAZING CUT! Every day I LOVE MY HAIR NOW.
I wish I could post pics here, but the change is dramatic in a wonderful way. I got mine pretty short, but my hair looks twice a thick, is almost one length now (praise God!), and it’s a pleasure to wash/style now. It looks so chic straight and even looks great curly!!!!
Thank you Gabi for the great content you’re putting out there. God bless you!
Love all your different hair styles. I too have fine thin hair and fell for "layering will make it look thicker"; it was a disaster. Blunt shoulder length has worked best for me. Wish I had the know how to style my hair as you do. Thanks for sharing.
You my friend are gorgeous, smart and so on point. I have been told to get layers and always looked like a stringy mess. I am using MD Hair products and my hair is growing out nice. I recently got a stylist tell me to go with stacked bob to get more volume. I drank the Kool aid and hated it. I got a stylist I trust and she trimmed it up to get it closer to blunt, though short it is growing out nicely. I love your hair length and hopefully by year end it will be back to lob. I am going to make my stylist watch this video before the next cut. Thank you Gabi, your videos are made for my hair.
I never get my hair cut at a salon because I’m embarrassed by how thin my hair is, I always have my hair up in a bun but I’m going to try and cut it myself so thank you for detailing how she cut it ❤
I just watched your video and OMG! It seems like my whole adult life stylists tell me to get layers, and it has the effect you’re talking about with having the ends seem stringy and skimpy. Then I grow it out but after a while I want a change, and guess what! More layers that I end up hating! This video makes so much sense!
Welcome to my life for literally 36 years (well maybe 35 because I didn’t have hair when I was a baby 😂). It’s so true. It feels like no layers is the boring solution but it can be the most beautiful solution at the same time! Glad it made sense to you.
I m sold, i m getting a blunt cut. I did the butterfly haircut a month ago and now i feel like my hair is thin but i know it isnt. So happy i found this video 💛
I am beyond thrilled that I found your channel!!! I have baby fine, thin hair..THANK YOU for all of your tips and tricks to styling! Helps renew hope that maybe I can do more than just have my hair lay flat to my head. Now if I can get the execution of some of styles down that would be super..haha!!! Love all of your videos! Thank you again!!!♡♡♡♡
Yay! Thank you so much for your message. I am so happy that you found my channel as well. I have a video coming out soon called Four Days of Fine Hair and I show you how I style my hair for four straight days. It goes over hot tools, products, tips, tricks and even hacks. You may find that one super helpful if you're still learning how to style your hair. Stay tuned hair bestie!
I agree with you about the layers - layers on fine hair just guarantees that your hair will be in knots with the slightest breeze!
Good tip to start cutting in front, nothing like having to wait for the sides to grow out! Have a great day Gabi!
RIGHT!?! Rebeccah LITERALLY gave me that advice last week and I was MIND BLOWN. It is so obvious but no one ever does it.
Thanks for the advice Gabi! I haven't cut my hair since before covid and when it's so long it looks very fine and thin! I can't wait to get it cut back into a blunt bob- I felt so much prettier when I had one. I needed your inspiration 🙂
I’m excited for you Amy! It will be your goal hair and then you can have a ton of fun styling it! If you end up doing it, tag me on Instagram @glamgirlgabi so I can see!
This video is right on point, and just in time for all us ladies that have experienced hair loss during Covid. My hair has always been thick and I had plenty of it. I had dramatic hair loss after contracting covid and have been raking my mind trying to find a solution. I thank you for myself and all women facing sudden hair loss. ❤️😘 I will take this vid to hairdresser . It looks beautiful on you
Hi Gabi, I took your advice and got this cut and think I may have written about it to you in the past. I wanted to find out what color or what I would tell a stylist to get a similar color to yours in this video. I watched your hair color video when you had yours very long and dark and through the steps you gave know I am a warm tone brown. I always use dye from a box (affordability). but this time went to a beauty supply shop instead of the drugstore to pick a color. I purchased one that came out dark with no dimension. I picked a neutral (before I watched your video) and it was simply too dark and flat. I was meeting old friends today and panicked but saw a video from another influencer who suggested part developer and part baking soda. Lo and behold it worked like a charm! I rinsed with a clarifying wash shampoo then deep conditioner. My hair is perfect. It was indeed a happy accident and I cannot stop looking at my hair with dimension and color...looks like a salon...crazy! To avoid this again, was just wondering if you could give any tips. The last drugstore bottle I did came out very red and it was a dark brown as well. The gray growing out with the brassy red tones just looked awful-that's why I thought I'd go to the beauty supply and thus ended with this happy accident. Anyway, LOVE your content as always, just wondering if I do go to a pro, what to tell them to get the nice caramel highlights you have. If you think they'll know, please disregard, but thought I'd ask anyway. You are the best and thanks for all of your amazing content!
I found your channel a couple months ago and after watching a similar video was brave enough to cut my long, layered fine hair into a lob!! And I love it 😭🥰 Thank you!
I am so happy that you love your new haircut!!! YAY!!! A new haircut has a way of changing everything doesn't it? It completely revives your style.
I've been looking for a new hair style for my long over grown fine hair. I'm going tomorrow. Hopefully the stylist can pull off this cut! Wish me luck on a tight budget!
thank you for confirming this. for 30+ years i have kept changing stylists because they insists i need layers. finally found one that agreed with me but then i move far away and have to start again
Your videos have changed my life! I have fine feather like frizzy hair that I have been growing out to one length. If I could just figure out which product to use to get it to hold the waves, I’ll be really thrilled!
Hey Teena! It's so nice to hear that the videos have helped you! That is exactly why I spend all of this time doing these. I really am here to help women feel their best. :) Have you seen the TYMO airflow video? This hot tool is really good in getting fine hair to hold: ruclips.net/video/3aGX8UfEGlQ/видео.html
I also did a curling video that talks about reasons why your hair won't hold: ruclips.net/video/P6u2PKyiThI/видео.html
I just made the chop and I totally agree. So much fullness and volume. I didn’t see this video until now. Affirms my choice. Post Covid hair loss made things worse so this was the best choice.
Wow the difference that it made!! You look amazing!! I’ve never wanted to cut my hair more than now !!
Wow, you look so good with no Make-Up and with that natural hair style! Amazing!
Aaw thank you. That’s really sweet of you ❤️
So many great tips! I've never had a stylist start cutting in the front. I'm 66 and every stylist I've ever gone to starts cutting in the back. How does one tactfully ask for this, and to cut upwards into the hair once length has been cut, without offending them? Thank you for your great, informative videos!
My thoughts exactly!! Because all of them are so sensitive!!😢
Layers give my fine curls diamond head! Flat on top, poofed out at chin length, then tapered in to nearly invisible pointed ends. Horrible! Worse than triangle head! I decided to grow my hair to all one length and couldn't be happier with the fullness and volume. This video confirms I made the right decision. Your advice is spot-on and for that, I thank you!
👍 yes.
Yay! That’s amazing to hear! I am really happy that you are enjoying your haircut now and getting the best result out of your beautiful fine curls.
You are a godsend! I’ve been having post covid hair loss-Telogen Effluvium. I am getting this cut tomorrow. I am infinitely grateful for you! Can you please, please do a tutorial for the look at the beginning of the video that looks like a French roll and you’re walking in a field?🙏🏻💕
Thank you for this video. I always had thick hair but as I got older and after menopause my hair because much thinner. I am going to give this haircut a try, Thank you for bringing us to the hair dresser with you and explaining how to get this look. Thank you soo much!!
I’ve had one person cut my hair well like this and since I’ve always told the stylists:
blunt cut w/ a slight under cut (cut up to avoid the flip) and minor face frame. No one has ever gotten it. Thanks for the video.
You're welcome
Nice to have this confirmed. I was always told to add layers to my "thick unruly" hair to make it more manageable and it always looked terrible. They even used to go in with thinning shears on my hair. I got the idea from Milabu about 2 years ago to have zero layers when I watched her vlog of her haircut. I actually say to the hairdresser - no layers, not a single one just to make sure. There are some good tips here - I didn't quite follow the bit where she cut up into the hair. Oh can you also do a tutorial on your French braid - I am hopeless at them!
Hey! I have a really easy French braid tutorial right here: How To Do A French Braid For Beginners | Step By Step | On Someone Else

I also am cutting my hair this way and Love it,It took me many years to finally realize layers don’t work for my fine hair, Now I know why my mom had me wearing a Bob when I was little....
I had my hair cut 10 days ago. I chopped off 20cm. After it has been damaged in April with highlights that the stylist went overboard with, too much blonde and too light. I now want to transition back to my dark/medium brown. The haircut isn't great (also she has left one side shirted than the other) but the length is doing good for the overall look of my hair as it looks fuller and thicker. And my hair is super fine. It's a long bob/medium length . Good advice !!
This is perfect timing since I have a haircut appointment in a few days! I am definitely going to ask for this cut. My hair is a lot thinner than it used to be so your advice to lay off of the layers (which used to be my go-to) is so helpful!
I hope that you get an amazing new haircut! Get that baseline as thick as possible and it will make the hair look really full by default.
Hi Gabi, I watched your previous video about this haircut a couple of months ago and it was the best advice I have ever gotten for my fine thin hair!!! I immediately cut it myself, and though I'm not a hairdresser and it was pretty rough, it is the best hair cut I've ever had. I am almost 53, and spent my whole life underwhelmed by any professional cut I've ever had.... always with the layers they said I needed!! I feel 39 and fabulous with this cut, even just rolling out of bed on day 3 hair. Thank you so much!!! I do have an issue I am looking for help with, my part is very long... I generally wear a center part but it goes off to the side down the back of my head and it is so tricky to hide. Would so appreciate any advice on this!🙂
That is amazing to read Christina! This cut was honestly life changing for me too. It seems so vain to say that, but a great cut can make you feel like a totally different person! I am so glad that you have had that experience with it as well. As for the part situation, do you blow out your hair? I use a blow out brush to give myself a lot of volume at the crown of my head. I also often use velcro rollers. Have you tried that before? You need to control the hair from the wet stage to offset that long part that is naturally happening because of your growth pattern. I made a video tutorial about how I blow dry my hair and get a lot of volume. Here is the link: ruclips.net/video/7cOQm4f47g4/видео.html
Did your hairdresser tilt your head slightly when cutting the back
I have fine hair and most want to give me a few layers. I tell them no as it makes my hair look awful and ultimately makes me depressed with a bad cut. It also looks dirty really fast. I’m waiting to have it cut by the right person. This has been a life long struggle. Thank you for sharing. You look gorgeous with this style
Asking for this very cut this weekend. Wish me luck!!
Thank you for saying don't get layers. Finally someone that gets it!❤
Thanks for a great video, I am very happy to have found a Canadian creator here. I found your channel through the recommendation of another utuber but can remember who!
I am going to show this video to m stylest at my next appointment!
I got my haircut like this recently and I love it. My favorite haircut ever
This cut looks amazing on you! I too have fine hair (but a lot of it, so I'm told) and, for the majority of my life, hairstylists have recommended layers to add volume. I was never happy with the wispy bottom layer that flew out when I walked (ugh!). I'm slowly getting my cut to grow out to one length, just meeting at the shoulder, and now the right side constantly flips out even though I use my styling tool exactly the same way on both sides. My stylist said it was because I had less hair on that side. Hmmm. Any suggestions? P.S. "Hi" from western Canada!
Gabi, you are very talented in styling your hair. I'm very intrigued to learn them even though after bilateral carpal tunnel surgeries left my left hand strength much weaker which often keeps using the curling iron less balanced looking. I just keep telling myself "It's only hair" but oh how I long to have your know-how! TY for sharing! Maybe I'll get the zero layers long bob cut next time. (I will wash my fresh cut hair tonight and get to style it myself to see what it's really like. I live that my stylist friend's curls hold so well compared to how mine usually turn out. I know it's lots of different products. I avoid gluten containing ones. 🤔)
I went down and had my hair cut into a bob, with a straight cut with no layers. I really love the haircut. You can do a lot of hairstyles with it even though it is not that long.
I love the fact that I don't need my hair layered. I knew she was wrong when she (my hairdresser)told me it would look thinker if it was layered. This is so good to know.
My hair is fine as in smooth but I have a lot of it, so layering suits me if I want some volume & movement, otherwise the weight of it pulls it down flat and straight.
Countdown! 38 hours until my appointment when I get this haircut! Wish me luck! Not to be dramatic, but I don't remember ever being this excited for a hair appointment!
I'm excited for you! I hope you love it!
Ugh, I remember finally getting a blunter cut, and then the stylist "texturized" the ends, so I left the salon looking like I badly needed a haircut.
I've been trimming it myself ever since, but I need to go a bit shorter so I'm going to bookmark this video and show it to them.
I am not a hairdresser, but have believed this for years. Thanks for all your videos.❤️
I saw at 5:57 I love the look of the 90's style. Can you share how you achieved that look?
I had layers put through my hair and my thin hair looks thinner. So after watching this video , I am growing them out. I was under the Impression that layers give movement and make the hair look thicker. Nope they don"t. Thank you for this video xxx
I so agree with what you said. I have a similar issue. When I had layers I hated how thin my hair looked. Then I asked my hairdresser to cut it one length for me and it made much more difference and I have the volume illusion that you mentioned. It even feels healthier and less hair falls off than when I had layers.
The only difference from your hairstyle is that I left mine a little taller. I feel that due to my obesity, the length gives an illusion of slimming my face.
*I feel that due to my obesity, the length gives an illusion of slimming my face* Agree. Why I hesitate on getting a chin length bob. With my heavy body, I'd look like a bowling pin. Having longer hair that I can style and curl, makes me fondly believe I'm balancing out my frame as much as possible.
Aw, I had a blunt cut and it looked amazing on my thin hair. Then my hair grew and I got a few long layers. And the other week I got even more layers in my curly/wavy thin hair and the hair stylist cut a very short layer in (I didn’t object, but now I remember after I saw your video). I don’t like the super short layer. I’m going to grow it all out and have one length, at collar bone length. Just came across your channel and saw your video about face shapes and body shape… and I’m petite but curvy, so I find that I don’t quite like bobs, but more longer wavy hair about collar bone length. Thanks for your videos and helping me think of what I like best. 🥰💕
If you’re petite, curvy and have curly/wavy hair, try a cut that sits about an inch or two below the collar bone and has some long layers. The long layers will help a lot with curl. If your face is rounder, opt out of short face framing layers and keep it longer at the front. If it’s not round you can face frame so the curls dance around your face. 😘
@@GlamGirlGabi thanks so much for your tips. My face is a long oval… I think that’s oblong? I find I like a long fringe… I think it’s called a long curtain bang? I think that length below the collar bone sounds nice. If my hair gets too long, then it makes my face feel even longer, which i don’t like. 😅 🙂💕
I just had my hair cut in this style. It’s awesome. Will you do a drying video showing how you get the the 90’s volume? Love it.
Hey Joanna! I am so happy that you are loving this haircut as much as I do! If you want a 90s supermodel tutorial, check out this video: ruclips.net/video/7cOQm4f47g4/видео.html
I explained in detail how I achieve this result here.
@@GlamGirlGabi Thank you.
Hi Gabi. I love the content of your videos. I have fine textured straight hair that is somewhat dense in quantity. I have had variations of the same cut for decades (since my high school graduation lol). Shorter layers, longer layers - it makes no difference. My hair is flat and sticks to my head. Your cut and color are absolutely stunning 😍
If your hair is always sticking to your head then you need some styling tips! Do you blow your hair out? Check out this video next because this is the #1 way that I get my hair to look super full: ruclips.net/video/7cOQm4f47g4/видео.html
@@GlamGirlGabi thank you so much for the tip ♥
The last time I went to get my haircut was a nightmare. I wanted a shoulder length blunt bob, and they told me an angled bob would look better on me. They nearly cut off all my hair in the back. It was the worst haircut I've ever gotten. I've been having a hard time finding a stylist I love. I go get another cut in 1.5 weeks at a different salon, I hope they can pull this off. Wish me Luck!!
Another way to describe it is a one length 0 degree Bob. Tell them the last haircut was a "A - line" Bob, and it didn't work out for ya..Hope that helps!
I have the exact same type of hair, fine and super straight. I need to see Rebeccah!
You will love her!! She’s really amazing at cutting.
I have been asking for a blunt cut with no layers for years but not all hairdressers are like Rebecca, they just can't help themselves and before you know it you come out looking like a stick if candy floss 😢
It's great to have a video I can show to a hairdresser so there is no misunderstanding, thank you so much xxxxxxx
Love your hair! Just cut mine the same length and I’m obsessed with it now!!! 💇🏻♀️♥️
Thanks for doing videos on thin hair. So often people with thin hair are overlooked. 🙂
So I got this haircut done today- it is not the right fit for me. I don't regret it though. I have fine hair, but a lot of it- I am naturally ash blonde and very fair. This haircut makes my hair feel heavy and have absolutely no volume. That is ok! Better luck next time and I really enjoyed being able to have a quick video to show my stylist (I skipped to that part) to describe exactly what I wanted. It was worth a shot! Thank you:)
Gaby, I love your channel. I took your advice and I got the short bob (longer in the front haircut) for the summer. I loved the cut and agree that it helped make my hair look fuller. I am ready to start gradually growing it out to a blunt bob. But how do I tell my stylist to cut the front first? She has been doing hair for 20+ years, and worked for many years in NYC. How do you tell a professional that you know better? Seems like a way to ruin a relationship with an otherwise competent stylist. I have lived a lot of places and have had at least a dozen stylists over the years, and none of them cut the sides/front first.
Hey Kim! Yay!! I’m so happy you loved your summer hair! If you’re happy with how she cuts the hair and the front and back are always even, I wouldn’t tell her to cut the front first. This way that Rebeccah does it works for her but every stylist is an artist who creates in their own way. If she’s giving you great haircuts that you love, don’t fix what isn’t broken. ❤️
Thank you Gabi! Because of your advice, I don’t suffer many bad hair days at all, and my hair looks great! I have a few ideas for videos (based on stuff I have questions about): fine hair and soft water vs. hard water - how to beat the droop; shampoo bars - why are they so terrible for fine hair; ACV products and fine, porous hair - are they miracle workers; Nutrafol and other hair supplements - are they worth it?
@@kimr1967 Thank you so much for such amazing suggestions! I am going to write these down right now and hopefully get to them as soon as I can!
Love this. Desperately growing out my "layers" which have only made the bottom parts of my now naturally wavy but fine hair look scraggly and wayward. I'm in that awkward in between phase and keep some of it longer so I can wear it up in summer while the rest catches up. I have "Lob" on my wish list for 51st birthday in August!! Question: - My layers are still growing out. Can we get the basic shape of this cut even before ALL the layers have grown out? Or is it better to wait until it's all able to be one length? Thank you for this!
I love your haircut my hair is fine and every time I get a haircut the stylist layers my hair and I end up with thin ends or one long strand in the back. I definitely will take this video in to show my next hair dresser.
I'm showing my stylist this video and will ask for this cut next time. I would love to learn what products you use to keep your hair looking so smooth and healthy. I'm sure the color helps, which I don't do, but my hair frizzes and looks dry all the time. Post menopause doesn't help!
I FINALLY learned to stop getting layers on my own 2 years ago,at 40!!!
Thank you Gabi! My hairdresser always recommended layers to my wavy hair....now I know how it should be done. It's too bad your hairdresser is in Waterloo not in Toronto 😀. Love your suggestions!!
Do you wear your hair with natural waves often? If you do, that’s likely why they’re recommending layers. Wavy and curly hair does look better layered.
@@GlamGirlGabi Thank you for clarification. Yes, my hair are naturally wavy/curly.
@@mariapawlicka2487 Yes that would likely be the reason. When you don't layer wavy hair it goes into a triangle shape. I still wear my hair naturally wavy and I actually like the width around my face since I have a long thin face but most people don't love that. There's no harm in trying it and if you don't love it, when you go for your next cut, you can layer it again.
@@GlamGirlGabi 👌
@@GlamGirlGabi if the wave pattern is strong enough. I have very, very loose waves from the ears down when my hair is long but whenever I wanted a bob and the stylist put layers in "because it brings out the waves" it would sadly just cause my ends to turn outwards like crazy. Not even a straightener was able to turn them inwards for more than an hour 😅
Wow I’ve never thought to start at the front. That’s makes so much sense. I’ve always started at the back.
Same!!!
I’ve clipped the portion of this video where you say how to prevent the annoying “flippy out Bob” to show my stylist she I really hope it doesn’t offend her. She’s amazing but I continually have that problem. Thank you for this video!
I watched one of your earlier videos about the cut for fine hair--and I immediately talked to my stylist about just giving me a blunt cut all around. But then she started to pull the hair out and trim the ends--which basically resulted in NOT a blunt cut. OK, so I chalked it up to a failure to communicate. The next time, I was very specific about only cutting the bottom. That seemed to do the trick. However, I usually just let my natural curls air dry so I've just been cutting it myself since any unevenness melts away in my curls.
Wow!! Don't know if you have ever been told but girl you don't need any makeup you have natural beauty 😍 I wish I was as lucky as you are I would never wear makeup 😔.. But just wanted to say you are absolutely gorgeous 🥰
Thank you so much!! That’s so sweet of you to say that 🥹
I have a hair appointment this Saturday and I am sending my stylist this video now! Thank you 😊💕
Yaaay! I hope you love it as much as I do! Are you going for a long Bob or one that floats above the shoulder?
@@GlamGirlGabi long bob! 💕💕 love it!
Can you recommend a flat iron for fine hair with highlights? Thank you for all the fabulous tips you send our way.
Your hair looks beautiful with this cut! But, your hair looks naturally wavy and the waves make your hair look like it has some movement. What do you do when your hair is not only fine, but also straight - doesn't hold a curl for very long - no matter what you do? I feel like without some modest layering, fine, straight medium length hair looks lifeless, but how do you do modest layering for this type of hair? Any suggestions?
Thank you SO much! I know I asked you on your last video about layers and this is such a great explanation.
No problem at all! I’m glad this came out in good time for you!
I seen my hair stylist today. I had been interested in going 1 lenghth except a little in front. When I finally got her to look at ur pics here that you stated was 1 length. She didn't believe it was 1 length & she could see all the layers in it, when I showed her the 1 curled with a curling iron. Every time I have ever showed her a pic of anything I like she has some negative to say.
Thank you so much for sharing this! I am going to work toward this and grow out my layers in my thin hair!
You are so welcome! If you cut your hair like this, tag me on instagram @glamgirlgabi because I would love to see it!
YOU ARE A GENIUS. IM LITERALLY GOING TO GET THIS CUT NOW
