    THE FACT THAT I WAS JUUUUST ABOUT TO DO THE UNICORN METHOD AND YOU SAVED ME
  • @TM-oe2on
    The red dye demonstration was really eye-opening!
  • I took the plunge and did this cut. As soon as I got done, I started crying! I have RARELY had a good experience with a professional cut and haven't been to a salon in almost 10 years. I have never cut my hair myself other than trimming my bangs. I had tons of dead hair on the ends and I cut off quite a bit! (4-6 inches in some places.) My hair was really long, but not pretty. The end result of changing how i care for and style my hair and then doing this cut was totally transforming! My hair now frames my face beautifully and my hair is curling so nicely without all that dead weight at the bottom. Thank you! Thank you! Thank you! I'm over 50 years old and have never loved my hair as much as I do right at this moment.

  • Thank you for explaining the why behind each "do this, not that," and what happens with each.
  • Mell you’re a star! I’ve just cut my wife’s hair using this technique. Best cut she’s had for years . She’s spent a fortune at the hairdresser and they never get it right . I’m the perfect husband now 😂😂😂. Thanks again x
  • @aprilwade6209
    For anyone using this video and you have really thick hair; when I put my hair in the ponytails on the sides I split the ponytail half top and bottom and I cut the bottom first and then used it as my guide for the top part of the ponytail. It worked perfect! I hope this helps😁
  • @karen9331
    It’s been 6 months since my 1st curly girl cut and my strands needed some attention. I tried this pigtail cut and the results were amazing!! I had nice layers in the back & around my face. I just saved over $200 and my dyi cut looked better than my salon cut. Thanks for all that you do!
  • I've been trimming my own hair ever since quarantine started and I don't think I'll ever get a professional trim again lol
  • I hadn't cut my hair for almost 2 years and was dying for a cut. You're a life saver. Watched the video, grabbed the essentials and while in the shower, washed, combed, tied and snipped away. The relief was so real. Done!
  • @rachhan1
    Love the way you mentioned how hair can take a few washes to settle after a cut . I always hate my hair after a cut and then 2 weeks later I love it! I thought I was crazy ! 😂
  • @Prakriti2041
    a lot A LOT of stylists claim to be "curly hair specialists" the rest. will reassure you they are trained experts.

    i dont trust any if them anymore.
    They love to thin and layer and chop.
    Which is cool is you like to look like a triangle.

    This lady Id trust.

    I never let people with straight hair cut my hair anymore. In all honestly I've been cutting it myself for a few years
  • Love this cut! I was terrified to give myself my own curly cut… umm IMMEDIATE lift! A few ringlets came out out of hiding, so much volume at the roots… and I got my first curly compliment from a stranger today. Seriously 🥰 watch it twice then watch it again as you do it. You won’t regret it! Thanks Mel!!
  • @BlackthornBetty
    This may come across as a weird comment and if so, I apologize. I was raised in an 'inadequate' environment which is the nicest way to put it. I just turned 50 and always straightened my hair because no one else in my family had curly hair except for my father. No one was ever able to teach me how to take care of my hair so i always hated my hair and it really made me feel bad about how I looked. I'm getting ready to go on a thru-hike of the Appalachian Trail from Georgia to Maine so I knew I had to learn how to take care of my curly locks so on a YouTube search I found your videos. You are so patient and nurturing and I've learned to love and embrace my curls, not hide them and i wanted to thank you.
  • @alexasbury760
    I'm too scared to cut my own hair, but there is something about cutting hair that is so relaxing.
  • @OddlySweetArt
    THANK YOU! I just gave myself a $150 haircut on my own and how I’ve actually always wanted it cut and layered. This was so easy to follow. My hair was down to my butt and unlayered due to Rona. Now I have the cut I’ve always wanted. Thank you! All my volume is back. Big hair don’t care! ^_^
  • I tried this method today on my wavy curly hair and it ended up amazing ! Thank you so much !
