I am so excited to share with you an ultra-simple, super-quick way to cut your hair in beautiful layers! My friend Paula Ramm at Beautiful Life gave me permission to share this with my readers, so now you can easily cut your daughter’s or even your own hair in only 5 minutes!
You may never go to the salon again!
“I just did this – LOVE the results! I was just thinking this past week I need my hair re-layered!” -Lea H.
Before: My Daughter’s Pre-cut Hair
Meet my daughter! As you can see from the photo, her hair is thick with a slight wave. Waves are easier to cut, since imperfections are less noticeable. However, with care this method will work on very straight locks as well!
“Just tried this on myself. So simple! I can’t believe I’d never heard of this before. So glad to have found this!!” ~Mrs. McAteer
Step 1. Comb: Smooth All Your Hair Forward
Here is how to cut your own hair in five minutes:
First, thoroughly wash and condition, then comb it all starting from underneath, smoothing everything to the front.
“This is brilliant. I just tried it and am really pleased with the result. I’d been wanting to get my haircut again, but couldn’t afford to. I don’t think I’ll ever need to pay a hairdresser again. Thank you.” ~Shelley
Step 2. Ponytail: Secure At the Front
Next, gather it all into a ponytail on the forehead, securing with a ponytail holder.
If you usually wear your hair parted to one side, then position the ponytail on that side, directly in front of where your part would be.
Tip:
The more you pull the hair forward, the more layers you will have. The pony at the top of the head would give you longer layers, and not as many.
Step 3. Cut Hair Straight Across the End
Then, making sure the hair is all combed out as smoothly as possible, and using your fingers as a guide, either just cut straight across the ends, or use little vertical snips to cut across the ends.
Done!
Simple, right?
Comb out, and you’re done!* That’s it!
Easy!
Five minutes!
Incredibly beautiful results!
*The “after” photo was color edited, but the curls are all natural. The new layers brought out the curls, with a little curling gel and light scrunching.

Hi Jacque!
My daughter and I have cut each other’s hair by putting the ponytail at the nape of the neck and cutting straight across. I don’t know the name of the style, but from a profile view, the hair in back is shorter with a diagonal line of transition to longer hair in front. Hope that makes sense!
Thanks for a fun practical post. We’ve saved so much money by cutting everybody’s hair at home for many years.

Katie, Yes, your explanation is perfect and does make sense! Great to know as I had never thought of that!
Bless you,
Jacque
Elena
This method appears to work best with really long hair as someone with shoulder length hair (like me) won’t get their hair pulled forward in a pony tail very far
Jacqueline
Yes, Elena, there is a point of length at which one can’t do it!
Lena Moore
I just did this today and it worked! I couldn’t believe how easy that was. Thank you for sharing.
Jacqueline
Lena, that is so neat! I am so glad you left me this comment to share your success!
Thank you so much,
Jacque
