DIY Haircuts // Which is better? // Unicorn haircut vs double unicorn haircut vs pigtail haircut

I also forgot to add that unicorn haircuts are probably better for looser curl patterns 🤭 which is your favourite?

Yesterday I was wishing for some one to have this comparison! And today I found it! Thank you so much!💗

@wavygirljessie ... I would love you to try the beard cut. It is like the pigtail cut only you bring both your pigtails under your chin and tie them together. That way you are guaranteed to get an even length as you are cutting them together. It gives you a u-shape at the back and not a v shape. If you then want to add a few layers, you can then do a single unicorn cut and just take off the required amount. I did forget to mention that you don't tie your pigtails separately, but just bring your two pieces of hair that you have divided into pigtails and tie them together under your chin. You are only using one hair tie!🙂

I've been doing the unicorn cut and I did start due to hair dressers saying "don't worry you'll love it" and then experiment by hacking of chunks of my hair. This has happened a couple times to me since my stylist of 20 years moved across country. So I've done these cuts and they all look pretty good. My SIL thinks my hair looks best when I do it myself! I agree!

It feels like the room for error would be the largest with the pigtail cut. You'd have to get two pigtails placed exactly symmetrically on your head, and then cut off exactly the same amount without being able to compare them.

Interesting that we have the same favourite! I found it didn't make my hair look thinner since it gave me just the right amount of layers💗

This video was so helpful!! I've been debating cutting my own hair for a little while but couldn't decide on a method. Going to give pigtail a whirl tomorrow!

First, you can prevent the bottom from getting too thin by sectioning straight around your hair from ear to ear and bringing that forward to cut, while leaving the bottom alone. Second, you can really see all those hard, choppy layers when you styled your hair straight. To prevent that, be sure to turn your shears and snip vertically into the edge before removing the hair tie, breaking up the hard chunky edge. Even thinner hair benefits from softening that harsh line.

I've done both the unicorn cut and the double unicorn cut and liked them. But i do feel like my longer hair is starting to look sparse on the bottom. So now I'm thinking I may have to try the pigtail cut. Thanks for sharing this! It was very helpful.

Brad Monday butterfly! 2 pony's but slightly different to double unicorn x

When you do the pigtail cut with the pigtails higher, do you still cut the hair at the same angle being a right angle to the floor, or do you cut on a diagonal?

Hi I,ve tried both of Manes cuts and I like the pigtail cut the best. Just like you I found that the ends thinned out when cutting the ponytail cut and looked thicker when cutting the pigtailcut. 😃 I recently saw two cuts from Paul Watts that I thinking of trying, the 3 ponytail cut and the butterfly cut. Maybe you could try them? 😘 Keep up the good work, love your channel ❤

Quite a few times I have heard hairdressers say that it doesn't really matter what the back kinda looks like just as long as the front is framing as you talk face to face with people not face to back of head. And with styling, pinning, clipping and hair spraying you can make it look good or at least decent.

I'd like to get your opinion on the Pinwheel haircut. Manes by Mel and Paul Watts both have a Pinwheel haircut video.

I recently did the pigtails cut by mel and personally for my hair it's not enough layers. I love the shape of it but it's important for me to have more layers or it's hard for me to detangle it. I might try the unicorn cut by mel in another 6 months 😆

How do you do a pigtail cut on side partings? Do you keep the hair in the parting when you put it into pigtails?

So then would you say your favorite is Manes by Mel Unicorn (not double unicorn) cut?

I do the Pigtails Cut since i saw the Video by Manes by Mel 🥰❤️👌..it is my favorit Cut....it makes soft Layers....with Volume..so easy to Cut with a good sharp Scissor..this is absolut importent for Cut your Hair at Home..👌..i Wish i had your beautiful length..🥰❤️❣️..my Hair is thick,2b-2c Waves..but i never come to this length ..🤷.. absolut Stunning 🥰❤️😍❣️

Girl as a hairdresser I can tell you, you don't have thin or little hair. Your hair looks very good

I haven't tried any of them, yet, too scared. I've just been doing the curly cut, shown by Marisa Curls, just trimming each curl.
