 Hello, beautiful. Wolf cuts are out and butterfly cuts are in. Maybe they can coexist. They're both really cute and they're both really fresh. And it's too soon to let the wolf cut go. That haircut is way too entertaining. They're more or less a very similar haircut, but the butterfly cut is an adaptation to the wolf cut, right? It's a little more escalated, a little more elevated. Today I'll be teaching you how to do the butterfly cut. So basically this haircut is going to give you a lot of face framing layers. It's going to be beautiful. It's going to be boom, like this, boom, like this. Stunning. We love layers. It is the vibe. It is the moment. And it is going to stay the moment for a while. You are going to have a lot of layering in the back as well, whereas the wolf cut really maintains those layers in the front area. And then it does get a bit more shaggy in the back. This one is a little bit more even, just tiny little details that have been changed. It's going to look like this and like this. Gorgeous. Let's do it. Hello, hello, Miss Manny Quinn. You look stunning today. And guess what? It is your lucky mother-f***ing day, bitch. You are getting a cute haircut. I know, it doesn't happen that often where you guys get to not get something bad done to your hair. Today, you're the chosen one. How do you feel about that? Great. Anyways, so what you're going to need in order to do this little butterfly cut project, baby, is a few things. The first thing is wet hair. Yes, that means you watching, trying to do this haircut. You also need to wet your hair. You are not exempt from that rule. Is the microphone on me? Hello, wet your hair. Cause I already know so many of you are going to watch this and then not wet your hair. If you wet your hair, it's going to help make the haircut more precise. It's going to be easier for you. You're going to actually be able to cut through your hair without it being a huge annoying issue. Like I see all the time in these videos where people try the stuff I tell them to do and then they don't do it right and then they don't listen to my directions and then everything comes out wrong and then I feel bad and everything is bad. Sorry for hair's wet. Great, awesome guys. We're doing good so far. Now, obviously we're going to comb this out. Beautiful. The supplies you're going to need, a comb. Why am I using a white one on a white wall? It's not very good for this, but I also don't feel like getting another one. So we're going to use this today. This one is great. See how it has big teeth and little teeth? It helps you cut hair easier. You can section with these teeth and you can comb with these teeth. Well, they both comb, but you know what I mean. Scissors. Hair cutting scissors would be best. Just get something that'll actually cut your hair. Two of these. You probably have these, hopefully. You're going to use both of them. That's great, awesome. Optional moment, it's an optional moment. If you want to overachieve in this haircut and you have very thick hair, thinning shears are a friend. When you're doing a layered look and you're only doing two really quick cuts, these babies are essential. You can get those cheaply too somewhere. I don't know, do your research. Do I look like a researcher? Do you? No, I'm a haircutter. Do you want to see how to do the haircut now? I'm doing it, okay, hold on. We are going to comb all the hair forward from the apex. So gorgeous, easy. If you don't know what the apex is, it's the highest point of your head. And you can find it if you just lay something flat on the top and you see where it touches. So I'm going to comb all of that forward from there. This doesn't need to be perfect. You know, obviously take your time with it, babe. Don't rush it, but you're doing great so far. And I'm just really proud of you. Head is turned this way towards me. That's her nose. We're going to go from the apex to behind the ear. Gorgeous. Okay, I'm going to do the same thing on the other side. There we go, that's right. And that, ladies and gents, and everything in between, that is our first section. Oh, your hair is very soft to this man. What have you been doing? We got that all good, all pulled tight, looking fabulous. And I'm going to use my small teeth on my comb and I'm going to make this all nice and flat to the head. I'm pulling everything now to the middle of the brows. You do want to look like a unicorn. That is when you know you've done this section correctly. Make that as flat as possible, as straight as possible. Take our elastic. What a little ponytail in there, babes. Now, as you can see, this is already very similar to the wolf cut, except for the wolf cut, if you remember how to do that one correctly, because nobody really knows how to do it correctly, you just pull all the hair into one up here. This one is a bit more, this one is less, so that's what we're going to do. We're going to keep it that way. And then on the back, get ready. Flex your arms. You gotta do some push-ups before you do this, because you gotta lift the hair right up. Grab the hair and we're going to do a really high pony right to the apex, the highest point of the head. If there's one thing you ever learned from me, it is the word apex. Actually, I don't want it to be, oh, maybe you learned from me, that's kind of lame. I want you to be able to be the best hairdresser for yourself ever. That's my goal for you. Throw that hair tie in there, girl. We are already on step three. We are rolling and moving and grooving and it is going fast. That is our sectioning, baby girl. This is what you should look like. Half unicorn, half pony, kind of vibing with it. All right, we're ready to cut. I need you to do a little meditation for me before you do this. A little breathe in, breathe out, and a little bit of like concentration needs to be involved with this. Just like don't mess it up, okay? And hopefully your hair is still wet and if it isn't, grab a spray bottle or something. I don't know, figure it out. Now, what we aren't going to do when we start cutting is go like this and cut. We did put this at an angle on purpose and we want to cut in that same angle, continuing that line, not like this. That's very important. Are you listening? Now with the Wolf Cut and with the butterfly cut, it is so essential that you take enough hair off. I do see it so many times where people will just give themselves a trim with these like this. That's not enough hair. This is not going to be visible when you let it down. What you have to do is you have to cut off a significant amount of hair to see this haircut really come into life. But I do want you to work your way up. This sectioning is super easy. You can start off small. You can cut off two inches at a time and work your way up. You definitely don't need to do the whole, boom, nine, 10 inches off at once. So do experiment with it. Do not do it all at once and don't tell anybody that I told you to do it if it looks terrible. Yeah, don't do that. Just, we'll just, just keep it between us. All right, but she's going to get a significant amount of hair off because she wants it. I'm going to cut off this much more. All right, that's like two, three inches. Ooh. Oh yeah, baby. The first cut has been accomplished. We did it. We did that together and you slayed. Next, we are going to try to cut off the same amount of hair. Instead of going all the way up, we are going to bring this one a little bit forward. And this one, I am going to cut off the same amount of hair. So about four inches. You can use your fingers to measure hair, by the way. Two fingers is on average about an inch. So I'm going to try and cut off about four inches off of this top while directing it forward like this. You can't see anything, can you? Woo. We did the cut. Congratulations. It is that easy. All right, and then we're going to let this down and we're going to see what's going on. If I don't like it, we can do more. You know, I will show you in real time. If I don't like it, oh, I like it. Oh, this is enough layering for me. You will see how much more dramatic. In my opinion, this cut is then the wolf cut. Do you see how short you don't see anything? Do you? Well, you will see it when I'm dry, but her layers go up to about here. It is very much textured. It is giving life to her hair. Okay, now let's take this front section out. Let's let this go. And let's see those face frimming layers. Ooh. Look at this. That's what we want. Parting in the middle or wherever you part your hair. Let's get that in there. Fierce, fierce, fierce. This haircut gives you a lot of face fring layers. Now let's just connect the dots here. All right, this is the last and final step. See how this in the front is a bit shorter than the layering in the back. And we have this kind of like, we're just going to subtly get rid of that on an angle. Just connecting it. Don't do too much, please. Just do a little boom, stop, stop cutting. Now we are connected. Some of you may already be connected. Like this is very subtly. Like it is actually connected, but I just want to smooth that transition out a little bit more from the front to the back of our hair. We're obviously going to put in some force field heat shield to style our hair, to protect our hair from any kind of heat damage. And we'll make our style last forever while she's in the closet. Okay, and then we're going to put in some salty sea salt spray because this is just my go-to when I want gorgeous, glamorous texture and volume and sexiness. Yes, I use this for blowouts, not just to scrunch the hair, but if you do want to wear your hair natural. Salty is that bitch. Including also wave tech, but salty. Like girl, she looks hot. I'm going to blow dry this in today to get such a glamorous blowout with texture and volume and sexiness all around because I hair, well, I'm getting really into, getting really into this. With a haircut like this, you need that volume, that texture, that life, that body and the hair. Well, it's just not going to come alive. Let's see if I can do a middle part today. Yeah. What do we think? Middle part? Good enough. We're going to do a quick little halo section because that is how I love to blow dry these looks. Just makes everything so much easier. Boom, took me two seconds. Bang, gorgeous. Oh girl, she looks fine as hell. The look is almost complete, but let's top it off with some viper smoothing oil just because like who doesn't love a ton of shine in their hair. And this just adds that perfect amount of like oh hydration without making it oily and weighed down. Just going to scrunch that in there. Oh my God, I can't even handle the amount of volume and texture and body she has. And look at this face framing. Oh, damn, honestly, wow. New favorite haircut? Most definitely. Now, if you have extremely thick hair and it is looking a little bit chunky in parts, you can definitely take some thinning shears. And I like to just kind of look at where the chunkiness is. She doesn't have a lot of it, but if it was chunky, I would just go in there. And about two inches up from the ends, just thin it out. This helps blend anything that isn't blended. Like if we see a part that looks a little bit too like blocky, we're gonna go in there and just get rid of some bulk. This is also a nice thing to do to these like face framing layers because it makes it even more wispy and gorgeous. It really just depends what the look is that you're going for. I am gonna keep her really bold and big though. Like, cause I just think her face really suits this look. This is the final look. I could not be more obsessed. So as you can see with the butterfly cut, you're getting this extreme amount of layering in the front. And if you blow dry this all inwards, you would get like even more than what you're seeing right now. But look at this, like, ooh, hot. And it really holds the shape of a blowout. And in the back, you're gonna see all of that body and that movement and these shorter layers up on the top. You're getting that extreme amount of layering. You're getting that face framing in the front. You're keeping that length intact. I just can't stop touching it. I'm obsessed. This style I know is going to be huge.
