hey y'all
welcome back do y'all want me to stop
saying welcome back every video because
i chill
like all right so i just washed my hair
with first class to morocco shampoo
you can get that from deeper than
hair.com and i gave myself a protein
treatment with my resurrection mask
my hair has been like going through a
lot and i can't figure out if it's
because of my
plant-based diet which i doubt um
but my body might have taken a little
plummet in protein intake
so i've been upping my protein shake and
what i eat
for protein and i'm also about to add
vitamin d
pills to my um
you know my morning routine you know
just to see what's really going on so
you know you can follow me uh as i work
on trying to figure out what's going on
with my hair
but because of that today um
you see i'm gonna put some serum in
before i blow dry of course you already
know that step if you are
a veteran here um and
you know watch me as i get my hair back
but because of all of this
what's happening today is i'm going to
give myself a haircut
now you guys always ask me to teach you
how to trim your hair at home
so if you follow this guideline it will
help i'm cutting a lot more
than you should cut as a trim but you'll
completely understand you know how to do
it
alright let's get into it
if you are new here her strands of hair
is always my professional sheer of
choice
she has different colors like chili
which is a cute red
shadow black it's like smoke majesty
y'all see me use these
all the time green orchard so cute
dragon stone that's like mermaid vibes
um
timeline i love those um
tanzanian sky which is blue and
amethyst ice purple so i guess y'all
know what i'm choosing i'm going with
the purple
i really kind of wanted to use the
silver ones but whatever
but look at my ends up close like come
on like how'd i let it get so bad and i
the crazy part is i've had a trim like
three different times in the last like
three months
i also said it could be from me going
swimming three times a week too
but my hair never gets wet i did have
like a little time where i did let my
hair get wet but
i don't know i think it's it's got to be
something that's coming from the inside
that's doing this to my hair
but i'm about to get it together i'm not
playing around no more
so the first step is you want to just
comb your hair
all down to the front now i like to
start with blow-dried hair everybody so
i like my hair to be straight i know
some people like diva cuts and curly
cuts but the only way you can truly
see your ends is if your hair is at
least in a blowed out state
that's the best way to get the best trim
and what you want to do
is you want to start with this section
right in the front
some people may call this the bang
like the top of the crown i'm just
trying to use terms that's better for
youtube and not from hair school
and what you want to do is you just want
to start looking at your ends and
determining how much you want to take
off
so right now i'm just pulling my hair to
the top and i realize
like a lot's going to have to come off
and and i'm okay with that it's just
hair
it is what it is so now that i've like
looked over that i'm gonna go and
perfect my section
and i'm gonna pull it up
and i'm just going to put it in between
my pointer and my
middle finger and i'm going to hold it
where i need to cut it
and i'm i'ma take that off guys this was
so hard for me to do this using just the
camera
i was like oh my god this was a bad idea
but
i wanted you guys to get it next i'm
going to take a part down the center
and i'm going to take it over to my ear
and i'ma pull that section up next
[Music]
now how this works is you're going to
take the first section that you trim
and you're going to line it up with the
next one and you're going to cut it even
to match
now you're going to do the same thing on
the other side
just match it up with the hair that you
cut previously
again this is a lot of hair that i'm
cutting guys you don't have to
cut this much this is more of a cut and
not a trim
now i'm going to take that same section
from the beginning
but i am going to take more of the crown
out from the very
top center of my head with it i'ma turn
to the side soon so that you can see
exactly what portion of the hair that i
took out
okay see that i didn't go too far back
because i didn't want to touch the hair
that i can get from around the bottom so
don't worry about that just yet
i'm just going to go in i'm going to cut
a little more than i cut from the front
here because i like to give myself a
little layer too and this will give
that effect
now i'm going to go to the back and just
pull from the center and i'm going to
pull my hair to the front
now on this part i pressed my hair a
little bit on the tips because i wanted
it to be super straight because i didn't
want any straggly pieces
so those little straighter pieces
because i hit it with the flat iron you
do not have to do that matter of fact i
don't even really recommend it
but the truth of the matter is i'm going
to cut that hair off anyway so it
doesn't matter
you can see where i've cut from the top
of my hair it's already created a little
dark
line in there so just kind of follow
where that line
is when i do the other side you're
really going to see the dark line
it's going to be kind of patchy you know
what i'm saying like you're just going
to see where
some short pieces is that from you
already cutting it and you just follow
it as a guideline still
this is not easy everybody i understand
like
it's really hard to trim your own hair
but it can be done
i never was fully an advocate for
trimming your own hair at home but the
truth of the matter is one we're in
quarantine and two
everyone does not go to the salon and
that's okay so
i'm just like okay i'm gonna show you
how i do mine because most of the time i
do trim my own hair if one of my
stylists tashima isn't doing it
see how heavy that side looks already so
this is a better way take your comb
and spin it to the side you want the
hair that's closer to the middle of your
head to be by your neck
and the hair that's closer to the side
of your head to be closer to your
shoulder
that's how when you flip it to the back
it's going to be even
see how it's already a heavy line so i'm
just going to go in
and cut it right where that heavy line
has already been created from trimming
the top of my hair
[Music]
yes look at the weight look at the
weight on the hair already that just
it's such a big difference now i'm just
going to part down the center of my hair
not a perfect part not that serious and
i am going to
pull the hair down and i'm going to give
myself a little bit of a little aliyah
layer
that's simply because i had a little
heat damage in the front and i don't
mind
taking a lot of that off on this side
i'm going to cut from the bottom
up because it's hard to angle my hand
the same way i did on the other side
so just be a good judge of character
when it comes to that
look at the weight on my hair now and
when you flip it to the back
it's pretty even you see that
easy now i'm just going to go in
and make sure that everything is even
[Music]
[Music]
[Music]
so i am very satisfied with how it came
out it just looks so much heavier than
it did it almost even looks longer which
is like crazy to me
how that works but it's just so nice and
chunky now
and now i can you know get on my little
road to recovery
so next step is to go in and
get those edges the truth is the hair
underneath of your hair
like longer the longer part of your
edges or even the shorter part
you might want to go in there and just
make sure that you get
every end within your hair you're not
going to be able to get
every split you might do a really good
trim and look at your hair like oh my
god more splits but it's hair and
you know it's almost impossible not to
have a split
within it unless you're like bald so
you know now i'm just going in and i am
about to trim the shorter parts
of my hair
i also want to say that you know i see a
lot of videos on youtube and instagram
of people trimming their hair with like
school scissors or safety scissors or
kitchen scissors
or sewing scissors and it's like you
are not supposed to use those for your
hair because one
they're not sharp enough they will end
up just
shattering the shaft and and making the
hair worse than it was to begin with
so always get a professional shear you
don't have to get her strands of hair
i'm not trying to promote
this in this aspect i just want you guys
to get professional shears because
that's the best way to cut your hair to
use a hair shear
[Music]
now you want to go to the nape and do
the same exact thing
[Music]
there
[Music]
okay so perfect now that i got my hair
nice and heavy and healthier
um i'm just checking out the front i got
that most of that heat i had low heat
damage in the front i think i said that
earlier in the video but
i wanted that off um one of the best
things about this trim is my curly hair
is going to be so good and it's going to
flourish and the curls are probably
going to be even tighter which is
probably going to drive me crazy
um but you know i'm just
excited to see how my curly hair comes
out without those damaged ends on my
head
now i'm taking my 22 titania iron i got
i know i know i'm not even going to get
into it about the irons they're they're
almost here
i i know i say that every video but i
also told y'all last video i got a
tracking number
i got a tracking number so i'm just
going to go in
and what i'm going to do is i'm going to
curl my hair tight
why i'm curling my hair tight is i want
a little more volume
yes with a fresh trim it's
pretty amazing to do your hair straight
because then you can really look at the
ends
but i'm not really concerned at seeing
my ends i know they're fresh i know
they're new i know they're healthy
um so i'm not really concerned with
seeing the ends right now i just want my
hair to have
you know a little volume to it just a
little bit so i'm going to curl it tight
but i'm going to wrap it flat
[Music]
i always like to compare ends to
pantyhose yes you have to get a trim
you should get a trim every 10 to 16
weeks i'm being nice when i say that
you know because just like pantyhose
when you get a
hole in your stockings all it's going to
do is run and it's going to run up and
up and up until it's just
not worth anything anymore and that's
exactly how
split ends work your split ends are
going to just keep splitting
up that hair shaft and if you don't cut
it off it's just going to keep splitting
all the way up and that's going to cause
breakage
and it's just going to make your trim
end up shorter
so you got to get those ends while you
can you know what i'm saying make sure
you just get those splits off
every now and then okay all right
[Music]
now that i finished my curls y'all know
i'm gonna spray with my glass brilliant
shine it was already shining from that
mask
that resurrection mask but you know we
always want some more shine
okay so now i'm going to do this little
70s flip action because
if i go to try to wrap it while the
curls were in it's just going to be very
tangly so what i do is i like to brush
the curls out first just so that the
brush doesn't tangle within my strands
my hair been through enough i
damn sure i don't want to tangle it up
anymore
and um be rough with it you always want
to choose gentle over
rough
this is kind of cute i'm not going live
i would have definitely wore this
back in the day for sure i would have
all right now you just want to take your
vent brush and you want to
wrap it up wrap it flat what i'm so
excited about it clearly
wrap your hair girl and i don't even
know which side i want to wrap it on but
i like to switch sides um some people
think that when you wrap your hair the
same way
every night that it causes breakage or
some people hair is longer on one side
than the other
um they always be like you think it's
because i wrap my hair the same way
every night
i don't think that that's exactly why
um but if it feels better to you to just
switch it up just switch it up
i like to wrap my hair depending on
where my bang is and what placement i
want and where the part is i like to
just
you know do it like that so i'm just
going to wrap it
around to the left
it's on the right if you're watching tv
but it was my left
it was my left like he don't know her
right from her left
i do most of the time
and then i'm going to take a soft brush
and i'm just going to flatten it out
because
even though i curled it tight i do want
it to be
mostly flat with just a little bit of
fun you know
i don't want it to be curly curly not
today
now i'm just going to take a plastic cap
and i'm going to put it on my hair and i
am going to tighten it
um by tying a knot in it in the back
and then i'm gonna sit under the dryer
on cool air for 10 minutes it has to be
cool air guys a lot of people like why
cool air
because you're going to sweat if you
make it hot
and now i'm just combing it down
let's see what what we ended up with
see just a little fullness i almost got
my justin bieber bangs back you know
what i mean
um just serving a little michelle obama
oprah winfrey
queen latifah vibes
you know it's it's shorter than my hair
has been in a while but i'm okay with
that you know it's health over length
health
over length guys like i can't ever say
that enough it was
what does it matter if your hair is long
if it's unhealthy you know what i'm
saying so
it's just better to just go ahead and
take that bad hair off because all it's
doing is hurting you
in the long run okay thanks for watching
guys i hope you learned how to cut your
hair and i see you next time
