Cutting my own hair into choppy layers


Question Posted Saturday August 8 2009, 11:11 pm

I've been wanting choppy layers for quite some time now. Everytime I go to a salon, I never get what I want, even though I explain what I want and show pictures. x.x So I would like to try cutting my own choppy layers. Yes, I have some experience with cutting my hair. xD I've cut my own bangs and hair before... Does anyone have any tips or strategies on how to make my own choppy layers? Preferably simple tips/strategies? Like maybe I should use a razor or something? Please don't tell me to go to a salon to get it 'professionally' cut... and also, please don't answer if you truly don't know what you're talking about. I'm asian, so yeah, I have that thin asian hair. xD Also, when you answer, PLEASE be specific. I would like to know how I can cut my own choppy layers correctly. I don't wanna screw up my hair. xD My hair is a little below my shoulders, and it's the same length all around. (Which I hate D:) Here are some pics I found that I like:

I don't want anything too dramatic though. I also don't want to tease my hair, or mess with hair spray, I just simply want choppy layers. Also, does anyone know a way that I can thin out the ends of my hair? It just looks like a bulky box shape to me, if you get what I mean. Probably because my hair is so short... If anyone knows how to cut my bangs to match the rest of my hair, that would help too. Cutting choppy bangs seems complicated to me. o.o Thanks in advance!! <3

i cut my own hair like this a few ages ago, and its takin foreverrrrrrrr to grow back. so make sure you really want this hair cut because youre gonna have the layers for a while.

if you want the bangs to go short to long across your forehead like them. first cut INTO them, not across your face. make little snips with the scissors facin upward. then, take a razor (like what you shave your legs with) and start goin over THE ENDS of the bangs.

for the layers, cut into your hair again, shorter up top and then the next layer make it a lil longer, then a lil longer...etc. make sure you get the back of your hair too, and you might want a friend to be there just so they can tell you if the front layer is even with the back layer. then go over it with the razor again. if you razor and cut layers in your hair then ends will definitely be thinned out. you should get the layers you want if you do it correctly.

for a good, very easy look when you cut it, just get some hair wax, put a tiny in your fingers and put it in your hair. it will make the layers stick up a little or jus make them look messy which is kind of what the looks about.

if you have any more questions feel free to ask !
good luck

Um ok so I don't have anything very specific to tell you, but I think to get the result you want you should use a razor and just sort of go crazy...:D
