I CUT MY HUSBAND'S HAIR...
this either could go really well or
but the DIY girl in me just could not
all these TikTok tutorials convinced me
convinced me that I could cut my husband's
Ethan started growing out his hair at the end
of last year
and each time they haven't
and each time they haven't nailed exactly what he wanted
so I have saved
so many flow haircut videos and
he complained
he complained that the back of his hair
and the sides just
there was
there was too much
so I started off by sectioning
and then cutting
to kind of give me an idea
to kind of give me an idea of where I want the hair to sit
on his neck then I started from the middle back of his head and cut
I think they're called square layers
where you pull out the
you cut at 90 degrees and it layers the back
I took small sections
I took small sections all across the back of his
and then moved on to the
look how long the sides
this is primarily where he felt like it was
so we took off quite a bit
I went in small diagonal sections
and then connected it to
I'm not gonna lie we had a couple crash outs
I don't think I got his hair
so I was having some trouble seeing where I had previously cut
to line it up but I just tried my best to kind of
take off the same amount
and then connect it as best as
I then took the top down
connected the top to the back
he didn't want
any length off the top especially
any length off the top especially near the front of his
because that grows a little
I was trying to
go a little bit because the hair in
go a little bit because the hair in the front should be longer
and then it should angle a little bit upward in the back
I didn't do much cause I don't wanna
but my goodness I got the best compliment at
Ethan goes this is what I've
Ethan goes this is what I've wanted every time I've went to a
so I don't know if I should be
because now I think
I think I'm the one that he's
gonna go to every month for a haircut
definitely a little bit of
I think it turned
but most importantly he loves it
so everyone is happy
