There is no reason to pay big money to take your daughter to a hair salon when you can easily cut her long hair right at home! I'm going to show you just how easy it is to cut your girls hair at home, using my own daughter to demonstrate.

How To Cut A Long Layered Haircut Tutorial Step By Step

My daughter has been bugging me to trim her hair for awhile now and I want to share some easy tips to cutting or trimming girls long hair because maybe someone else could use this tip! I was a little startled by how long her hair had grown! She wanted several inches cut off so it would be easier to maintain for summer, and not so hot.

Full disclosure: I'm just a regular mom, I am by no means an accomplished hairdresser or even a hairdresser at all! In fact, back in college I trimmed Mr. DIY's hair and left a bald spot on one side...he had to go and have it fixed! Since that big mistake, I haven't been allowed to cut his hair again 😏

However, I'm not afraid to cut my kids hair. I've often found that the job I do is nearly as good as the cut they get at the walk-in salons...if not better!I was finding I had to fix their hair after they went to a salon, so I decided to save myself the money and do it myself at home.

Grown Out Length, Long Hairstyle

I have a good, sharp pair of hair cutting scissors as well as clippers for my boy's haircuts. I bought a hair trimming set and it came with all the attachments for the clippers as well as the scissors. They're relatively inexpensive for something that you'll use so often!

Cutting my daughter's long hair is the easiest, so much easier than cutting the boys hair! There's no trimming around the ears (my least favorite thing) or the neck. It's a simple matter of making sure the ends are even.

There's a trick to it, and I'll share it with you so you can easily cut your daughter's hair too...all from the comfort of your own home...and save yourself some money!

Your daughter's long hair needs to be very wet before you cut it. I have my daughter wet her hair under the tap, and I keep a spray bottle of water handy to re-wet it as needed. Use a wide tooth comb and slowly comb all the tangles out, being gentle. If the hair is really tangled, rub a little conditioner between your palms and work it through the hair; it will make the job easier. Look just how long this little peanut's hair was! We recently found The Salon Guy 25 spray, which detangles in literally seconds! It also keeps the hair wet for longer so you're not having to spray water as much.

Make sure the hair is parted where your daughter normally parts it. If I'm going to make a mistake on her hair, this is where it happens because after it's washed, the part is often slightly different. But that's no biggie, you can go back when it's dry and make adjustments!

Depending on the thickness of your daughter's hair, you will need a couple large clips, the best are the ones with claws like this, although you may need smaller ones if your daughter's hair is very fine.

Ways To Cut Your Own Long Hair

You're going to think of the hair in terms of 3 horizontal sections, the bottom section is what we're going to cut first, so we want to section off the hair using the comb to divide the first section straight around her head so you have a nice, straight line. Twist and clip the rest on the top of her head.

Spray that bottom section of hair with water again if you need, to ensure it's nice and wet. It's very important to make sure your girl is keeping her head straight, not tilted. You'll want to check this periodically during the haircut! Have her find a spot on the wall straight ahead and stare at it.

Decide how much hair you're going to cut and make the first cut in the middle, after first drawing the comb straight down the hair. Then repeat this step all the way around each side, snipping it evenly. When the hair is wet, it lays flat and there are no flyaways so not only is it easier to cut but you are more apt to cut it evenly.

Once you've cut this first section of your daughter's hair, stand in front of her and compare the sides, making sure both sides are the same length. Make adjustments as needed.

Remember, it's always best to cut small amounts at a time; you can always trim more hair but you cannot add it back once it's cut! ✂

Now it's time to let down another section of hair. Divide the remaining hair in half, let down the next piece and twist and clip up the rest. Wet as needed.

How To Cut Long Hair Yourself

Starting at the middle back again, draw the comb through the hair nice and tightly and snip your daughter's hair right at the length of the first section. The clipped first section works as the perfect guide. Work your way around the head in this manner until the second section is done, going back over and making sure it's all even by combing through it and trimming any longer pieces.

Here is my daughter's hair after the second section of hair had been cut. You can see that it is wet. You can see the straight line right across (easy to do when it's wet and when you use your comb as a guide).

Let down the last section of hair...we're almost done ! Wet the hair again...Oh, and you can see that we discarded the towel...my comb's tines kept getting caught in the terrycloth. It was much easier without it! So proceed with this last layer just like you did with the first two. Comb through each strand before cutting to loosen any knots and make sure it's laying as straight as possible. We the hair as needed before cutting and cut as before.

Cutting my daughter's entire head of hair only took about 10-15 minutes. That will vary according to the thickness of the hair you're dealing with, and obviously this is for hair that's all one length. If you're wanting to layer the hair, you'll need to find another tutorial!

And I've been doing this for many years! Sometimes I get it a little bit crooked (see below) but you can bet my teenager let me know! And of course I fixed it 😉

I've been cutting my two boy's hair for years as well. Boys hair is a little trickier because you have to be more precise, but you can watch some YouTube videos for a tutorial.

If you’re lucky enough to have long hair but are unsure about how to style it, you’re in the right place.

Not everyone can manage to grow their hair long. Some simply can’t surpass a “genetic length”, others struggle with brittleness, and sometimes, long hair can just be a burden — it is literally heavy. If you’re in the last group, layered cuts are the best solution. You can grow your hair to envious lengths without the heaviness that all that hair carries with it.

Although long hair with layers has long been the classic symbol of a bohemian style, the hairstyle can fit any style and personality. Check out the list of great styles below.
