Hi Beautiful! Today we watch some DIY bob attempts. It might be a hard task even for a skilled professional since this haircut reveals all the mistakes you could make. Hope we will see some beautiful results, but tbh my expectations are kinda low today.

Hello beautiful
0:03
Today we're watching some people attempt to cut a bob on themselves. How are you gonna cut a bob on your own hair when you can't see the back of your head
0:11
I would say I hope they do well, but I just know they're not going to today. I'm probably gonna be a little disappointed
0:16
But let's see. Maybe I'll be surprised at some of the results
0:20
Up first we have a video by Heather Hughes. I think I'm gonna get my hair cut today
0:25
This is how long it is. Okay! Wow! I'm like, should we do it, should we do it
0:30
Yeah, I'm gonna f***ing chop the whole thing in like a matter of two seconds
0:33
Love it for you. For me, I don't know. She has very pretty hair
0:38
It's so thick, it's so luscious, and it looks so healthy. I'm excited for her to have a different look though
0:44
It's a lot of weight, it's a lot of hair. Hopefully she puts some layers in it
0:48
Hopefully she doesn't just give herself like one chop, but she probably will
0:51
I think we're going here. Imagine if I just took these scissors like right here and just was like. Oh. Oh
0:59
I highly messed up on this one, I've gotta say. First of all, was there a plan at all
1:07
I'm just wondering, like was there any kind of like thought of like how you should do this
1:12
Because it kind of just didn't look like you planned anything. You just kind of like chop something, which makes me really nervous for the rest of the cut
1:17
And secondly, I would highly recommend washing your hair before you do a haircut and cutting
1:21
it wet. It's just easier, trust me. The hair clumps together, it falls to the floor, it's easier to clean up, and it gives
1:27
you a better result in the end, you know? Last time I watched like a tutorial, so I know how to do it now
1:33
This is a tutorial on how to cut your hair at home from someone who has cut their hair
1:37
at home once, now twice. Don't follow this as a tutorial, any of you
1:42
Hopefully you won't. At this point I don't put anything past anybody because the things I've seen over the years
1:49
I'm surprised I haven't dropped dead yet and just like from everything
1:57
First you have to part your hair. Definitely don't mess this part up. This is what we got
2:00
Is it crooked? Yes. I feel like I need to cut the front one as well because now it just looks weird
2:06
Way too short. No. Stop grabbing pieces and just cutting them. There's so many tutorials of mine that show you how to do these things
2:15
I actually don't think I have a bob one. You can do a lot of my tutorials and make it into a bob. We got to section the hair
2:20
We got to put elastics in. We got to make sure everything's sitting in the right places
2:25
And then we can start cutting. Not before. We got the front done. Now we just have to do the back
2:30
So we are getting a technique here. We're progressing slowly. We did a little shock moment in the beginning, but we are now doing sections
2:37
We are putting the elastics in and that is great. I love to see it
2:41
Let's see if she manages to cut on top of the elastic instead of below the elastic because
2:45
y'all love to cut below it and let the hair fly everywhere and it doesn't make any sense to me
2:55
This is what we got here. Our like four sections. Okay. There's an issue going on
3:00
Does anybody see it? Basically, when you do this sectioning in the back of your head, you need to make sure
3:03
that you are putting the elastic in the way that the hair lays. Okay
3:08
So if it lays this way, you're putting elastic back here. You're not putting elastic in over here
3:12
Not pulling the hair and over directing it. Because what's going to happen is everything you over directed from the very back of your
3:17
head is going to be super long. If you over direct it this way and you lay it back down, it's going to look like a V
3:22
in the back and she's going for a bob, not for a layered V thing in the back of her head
3:27
I mean, maybe you are going for that. I don't know. The ones in the back are longer than the ones in the front
3:32
But why? Why would you want them longer in the back than they are in the front? Make it make sense
3:36
Explain it to us. Tell me. I thought this was a tutorial. You take your scissors and you just cut it
3:41
What are those scissors? Those are not even going to cut your hair. No. And you're supposed to cut like down like this
3:45
Why would you cut downwards? What was the point of that? Who taught you these things? It wasn't me
3:49
Not this time. She's got like a slope on the side of her head. Halfway done. I'm thinking it's highly possible I went way too short
3:53
It is not long anymore. She's cutting below the f**king elastic. She's cutting below the elastic. She's cutting below the elastic
3:57
She's cutting below the elastic. She's cutting below the elastic. She's cutting below the elastic. She's cutting below the elastic
4:01
She's cutting below the elastic. She's cutting below the elastic. She's cutting below the elastic. She's cutting below the elastic
4:05
I'm thinking it's highly possible I went way too short. It is not long anymore
4:10
She's cutting below the f**king elastic. She's cutting above one of them but below the other
4:15
And we don't want to do that. We want to cut above the elastic. Oh, I was not paying attention. This is so bad
4:19
You should probably start paying attention. Open your eyes because what's happening right now is not good. I literally cut it again. Okay, to be fair, I did a pretty good job
4:23
I did a pretty good job. I did a pretty good job. I did a pretty good job. I did a pretty good job
4:27
I did a pretty good job. I did a pretty good job. I did a pretty good job. I did a pretty good job

5:39
I did a pretty good job. I did a pretty good job. I did a pretty good job. I did a pretty good job
5:43
I did a pretty good job. I don't know. I was gonna think of like an acronym for like, your boyfriend does it, but like, boyfriend
5:59
is going to help apparently, which is good. I like that better than people just doing it themselves
6:03
Your boyfriend can see the back of your head. So that's good. I feel confident. Also, really interesting hair texture you got
6:08
It like looks as if it's straight on the top and then you have curls in the bottom, which
6:12
I've never seen in my life. Usually the opposite, like there's more heat damage on the bottom and it becomes straighter
6:17
So I'm excited to like even out this texture that's happening and just cut off those curls
6:21
You know, just something. This is how long my hair is. That's how long? Right to your shoulder
6:25
Um, maybe like here, yeah, like right to my shoulder. And she's cutting it to her shoulder
6:32
I don't know. These just, scary. I wish we could see the back right now, but I already know what's going on
6:41
Like he just put all the hair behind her and it's just cutting a line across, which is
6:46
a way of doing things. But when she pulls it forward, she's going to have this A-line bob like this
6:52
Not something that I'm a fan of personally. If you guys like that, go off, do your thing, have fun
6:58
For me, A-line bobs are dated and a little bit strange. She is so confident in coldering this whole thing
7:07
Like how is she so like sitting there just so secure? Like, ah, just cut it
7:13
Just do it. Short hair again. What is that piece? Neither of them notice that there's like one little straggly hair, just long as hell
7:22
Like what is that? I feel like the back is really short. It is so short
7:27
It looks good. Okay. Yo, it's so short in the back and it gets so long in the front
7:35
Like mm-mm. What is going on in the front? I think that he's trying to layer the front of her hair with some angles
7:47
The way he's doing it is by putting little steps into her hair. And with a bob, like you don't really want angles in the front of your head
7:53
Like it doesn't really make sense. Kind of ruins the structure of the bob
7:56
And doing it like that is going to literally create actual like layers
8:01
Not like, I think she's going for like face framing, like feathered, and that's not going
8:05
to give you the effect you want. It looks good. I don't know. Okay
8:09
Yeah, it looks cute. Okay. She's trying to be a supportive girlfriend and the boyfriend's trying to be a supportive
8:16
boyfriend and I appreciate it. I'm going to come in here. I'm going to interject a little bit and just say, it's not quite there
8:22
We should all just do things that we're good at. And hair cutting is not one for you
8:27
The stress has set in and she's still committed to it. Look, she's going for round three now
8:30
She's like, all right, you know what? Whatever you say. I'm just going to sit back down and shut my mouth and let you do your artistry on my head
8:44
My question is, what is that long piece in the front? Why is it all lined up and then we got a long piece just hanging there
8:51
Oh no, it keeps getting worse
9:06
So my hair looks really bad. Even though it was long, it looked really bad. I was going to kind of like shape it out and like add some layers
9:14
Why are you taking chunks out of the front of your hair? We don't want more angling
9:18
Like she now has like this rounded fringe thing going on with a bob
9:23
It's getting wild. Okay, so that's the end result
9:42
We're going to a salon next time, okay? Do you promise me? Please
9:48
Listen though, you look beautiful. No matter what hairstyle you have, you still look gorgeous
9:53
Also the way you styled it in those end pictures, I'm so happy you did that
9:57
It looks much, much, much, much better. And it actually looks like you purposely cut it like that
10:02
So I think in the end you got a beautiful look and you look stunning
10:05
I'm happy for you. But that was so scary. Next time follow my tutorials and then we won't end up in these situations
10:13
We need some texture in there. We need some thinning, sheers. It's a lot of hair
10:17
It'll be much easier for you to style too if you got rid of some of it, you know? Thin that thing out, babe
10:22
Up next we have a video by Megan. I've been wanting to cut my hair for a while because it was getting kind of long
10:27
And it's not like that it's like super long, like obviously it's short. Something's telling me I'm having like a vision
10:33
Something's telling me you are going to ruin it. It might be the title that says cutting my hair gone wrong
10:38
That might be the indicator. Or I can see into the future. I'm probably going to be using these little kid scissors
10:45
I'm sorry. What? You're going to be using these little kid scissors
10:50
What part of cutting your own hair makes you think that little kid scissors is going to do the job
10:55
What part of it? Come on. Oh my gosh. We're doing the same technique as the first girl
11:03
Just taking a piece and chopping it off and just hoping for the best
11:06
It's kind of choppy obviously because I'm the one cutting it. Yep, yep, yep, yep, yep
11:11
Definitely gonna be choppy. Definitely gonna be chopped off since you're just taking pieces and just chopping them up
11:16
How low should I go? Should I go like to right here? Sure. I mean listen, at least give us a show if you're going to do it
11:25
Don't close your eyes while you cut it. You know, if I can make one suggestion, it would be to look while you cut your hair
11:31
Look in the mirror. Don't close and cut. And I don't feel like I have to explain the reasoning behind that one
11:36
I remember I did this like a few months ago. And I just wanted to cut my hair
11:40
Ooh, wow, that's pretty short. Honestly, it's not that bad though. I'm not sure about that one
11:46
Do you see this? Like, it's like half and then like I cut like a lot of inches off
11:51
You went for it. You just cut like four inches off of your hair. I mean honestly, she's really, really going for it
11:57
I have no idea how she's gonna cut the back of her hair. You can't use that same technique of like pulling a piece and cutting it
12:03
You're gonna end up with like all kinds of choppy sh** in the back. What's the plan
12:13
Okay, so like this side is basically done. I don't know if I should go shorter or not
12:17
I'll decide. I'm gonna decide for you. I'm gonna step in here. I'm gonna say don't do that
12:21
Shoop, shoop, shoop, shoop, shoop, shoop. You know, I can hear the fact that those scissors like are so dull
12:29
Like, you can hear it. And she's trying to point cut. Everybody always tries to do point cutting and none of you have ever done it correctly
12:36
I don't feel like anybody is going to do it correctly. So, just leave the point cutting to the professionals
12:41
and just, you know, do what we can do. You know, let's not go too far
12:45
Okay, so now to this side. Alright, let's see if she can make the other side the same length
12:49
Probably not, but I'm so mean today. I'm sorry guys. I don't need to be so harsh
12:54
It's just like I'm not seeing a lot of good stuff happen. Gosh, this is taking forever
12:58
My hair is like thick. This looks really off
13:08
How did you manage to make it that off? Please be the same length
13:12
It's getting worse. Oh my god. Oh my god. It's okay. We can fix this
13:17
She seems still very hopeful after she just demolished her hair. I don't know if I can fix that
13:25
I literally am bald. Like, as you can see, you can't see like all the layers down there. I just don't know how it looks on the back and I don't want to see it
13:32
Let's try and fix this. Gosh, I hope I don't mess up. Honestly, it looks even
13:43
Now we just have to see how it looks from the back. What is that thing in the back
13:52
It's all a disaster. I'm honestly happy she can't see it because I don't know what her reaction would have been
13:57
Okay, I think it looks pretty uneven. I haven't seen it yet, but I can just tell by like feeling it
14:02
The front is also not even. What happened there, babe? So I'm going to cut a little bit more
14:06
I think I got this. I'm hoping this turns out like decently good
14:10
Just stop cutting. I think it's pretty straight. I don't think I did too bad
14:17
I still haven't seen the back or seen how it looks. I hope it looks okay
14:22
Somehow she loves it. Listen, you do you. I'm happy you're happy
14:26
Objectively, I don't think it's a good haircut. There was a lot going on there
14:31
I would just love to see some layering in there. We need to thin that hair out
14:35
It's just sitting so heavy on the bottom. With some shape to it, this bob would look spectacular on her
14:42
The hair sitting down here, it's too chunky. It's too big. It's blocky and it's strange
14:47
But I'm happy you love it. Again, I'm happy for you. Not for me today
14:51
That was torture. Wow. That was something. I'm still stressed out from all those haircuts, but I will recover
14:58
