 Hey Co-Friends, I'm Bianca Renee, and you're watching Bianca Renee Today. And today, as promised from my last video, I'm gonna be cutting my hair. I usually go to a hair salon because I have zero hair cutting experience. But today, since we're doing the no comfort zone challenge, I'm getting out of my comfort zone, I'm gonna cut my hair myself. Partly because I'm kinda getting over my hair, I just need something new, I'm just getting really bored with it, so if I mess up, it's gonna be okay because I kinda don't care. But luckily I'm not gonna do it by myself by myself because I wanna have a professional virtually help me cut my hair. You're gonna see the actual live with the professional hairstylist and then me doing it and we'll see how this works because I know you guys are all over the world. So now if you don't have a curly hairstylist where you live or you have a hard time finding a salon that you like, now you have an option, no matter where you are in the world. So, without further ado, let's do this. Hello. Hello. Long time no see. So can you tell us your name and about your salon and a little bit how this like started? Yeah, so I'm Daisy Henson. My nickname is Daze, go buy curly hair daze. And I've been a licensed hairstylist for over almost 25 years. And I've been doing virtual curly cuts actually before the pandemic started. So like back in January, 2020, it was just kind of a fluke. I was helping a few clients help them with their hair cause I couldn't get to them. Oh, I thought it started because of the panini. No, actually a couple of months before and then the pandemic hit and it was like, hmm. Yeah, I need an option. Yeah, maybe it was an option. I actually joked that, oh yeah, this is gonna be the new service, but I was not serious. Oh my goodness. We were expecting a 12 day quarantine, but that happened two years later and you're located in San Diego, right? I'm in San Diego, California. Okay, and then do you still go to your salon or this is just the new thing now? This is my main business now. That's awesome. Every once in a while I'll be in the salon, but there's been such a big request for virtual hair cutting. So I'm doing curly girls all over the world. So it's been amazing. And then you're also kind of like empowering us to be able to do it ourselves. And I know there's just this natural anxiety with curly girls going to salons and many people say that they're curly specialists, but they're not really like you. They just say that and then you leave with a cut that's for straight hair and we just don't say anything in the chair for some reason. At least that's me. I sit there, I'm like, yeah, I love it when I don't. But now it's like you're kind of giving us the control and the power and if we don't like it, that's on us. So it's pretty, you know, empowering to hold the scissors myself. Right. It's a little scary, but also a little empowering. Absolutely. I know everybody that comes on here will say, oh, I'm really nervous, but I am excited. But that's why I'm here. Here so that you don't mess up your hair. But I'm on. And you know, you're still working with a professional. It's gonna be amazing. I think you're gonna do great. We gon' see. We gon' see. Okay, everyone, here's my before. Here's the side. Very flat. No more layers or volume. Just have a look from the back. What do you think, doctor? I think you have amazing curls, but we give it an even better shape and more lift. I've been going back and forth between like what I want because I did love my bang era. I love like the round shape. Like I just need something new. I need shape, something to give it more life. So I'm okay with losing some length. Like I could tell it's like a little thinner here. Take your hands and then show me on your hair the length that you are comfortable with after it's washed, dried, and the hair pops up after we cut it. I mean, even if we went to like here would be fine. Okay. What everyone knows that I preach is I'm always about health over length. And I just want it to look as healthy and as full as possible versus just trying to make it look long. That would be great to bring that up a little bit. Unvirtual, I try to go a little more on the conservative side. We'll cut a little bit less than what we think. Cool. And then we'll see how the curls bounce back up after you wash and style it again. I have this service that's called the nip and tuck. So when you go to a curl specialist you get your hair cut dry and then we wash, we style. And then we go back in and kind of trim up based on how the curls bounce up, right? So let's get your tools and check. So let's say you have your mirror. Check. You have your scissors. Check. You have your clips. I got three of these claw ones and two regular, is that okay? Perfect. So I'm going to section with. Check, even though I never sections, well that's going to be the hardest part of this whole haircut. You're going to do great. Now tell me, are you left handed or right handed? I'm right handed. Okay, so your dominant side always feels more awkward when you're cutting. Okay, that probably makes sense. We're warning for you. Okay, got it. And then since you're right handed let me see how you hold your scissors. Like this. All right. Like this. Okay, so as stylists we hold our scissors with our ring finger in that top hole. Like this? Uh-huh, just like that. And your ring finger or your pinky on the end. On top of it? Like this? Yes, but I think you need to flip them because the little tang is on the top. There we go. Guys, I'm a professional already. Really? First of all, just to get started we're going to part down the center in the back. So first you can just use your fingers to start with. Okay. So just kind of like, yeah, find the center and we're just going to take off a little bit of length. Now we're just going to jump into the deep end. You said it, Karen. Then you said it and then I got nervous. Okay. So you're going to gather the left side like you're putting it in a ponytail. Mm-hmm. Take your two fingers over the top, there you go. More, more, more, more, more. More, more, more. Right there. Okay. And now go ahead and you're going to cut straight up. You're straight up. Right at the end. I'm filming like I get this here. Yup. Parallel to your hand there. Okay guys, first cut. Here we go. There we go. Let it go. Oh, it's perfect. All right. Thank you, bye. It's good. Okay, take your left hand. You're going to take your left hand. Oh, left hand still. Okay. There you go. Down, down, down. This side's a little longer than the other side. Right there, stop. Yeah, call this the warm-up. Okay. Get you comfortable. Kind of like this little curl, do I? Yup, yup, really good. Yeah, right there. And then go ahead and cut on top of your fingers. Right here. Yeah, right there. Good. So that's good. That's just like your warm-up. So now I'm going to cut the back of my hair, but that's the trickiest part. So if you want to know how to do that, you're going to have to book with Daisy. Last piece for the back of my head. This is a big chop, guys. Here we go. Goodbye. You're doing amazing. Are you just saying that? No, I'm not. It's a workout. That's how you do a workout? Yeah, you were my excuse for skipping the gym today. I was like, oh, Daisy said I can't go, so I have to stay. So where do you think you want your fringe to land on your face? Like right in the front center section, not this whole piece, but... Maybe here? I tend to like to go a little on the longer side, starting out, and then see how after you wash and style them, and if you're like, you know what? I do want to go shorter. We're going to start here first, and we're going to see how they bounce up. So turn your hand to the side, and now you can cut again. There, cut, fit. All right, right there, cut. We're going to fine-tune it. So you see this curl sticking straight out at your shoulder there? Yeah. So just hold it at the very tip, and just like that. Take your scissors and cut on top of your fingers. A little bit more. It's really working. So yeah, trim that down. Yep. A little stringy-raising. Perfect. All right, other side. Okay. Are we less nervous? A little less nervous? Yes, basically a professional now. Now we're going to adjust those pieces. You might have to... Move my tree. Yeah, move your tree. That's nothing. Here? Yeah, that's the section that's going on here. Let's see, right here on the left, lower, lower, lower, lower, midsection, right there. You see? Yeah. So we've got those top curls only. Right. Yes. Thank you. Yeah. Okay. That really is the magic trick. It looks so much healthier already. I even like putting it like in the ponytail. Like it just feels thicker now. And there's a little shake there. Yes, look at that. Ooh. It's no more stragglers. No more. I'm also going to get my pineapple back. I've graduated to like a waterfall palm tree situation. I love it. Are we done? Did we do it? We're done. We did it. Oh my goodness. High five. Bam. Yes. All right. See, I usually don't do high-fives. I do, I do pounds. You gotta pound it. Let's do it. I'm so glad I did this. I'm glad you did too. Thank you so much. Are you proud of me? I do approve. Are you going to hang up and be like, oh my God, she butchered that. Ooh, did amazing. No, I'm very proud of you. And I know you were nervous, but you did amazing. Thank you. You're the best. Love it. Wow, we have shape. We have volume. We have layers. No more little stragglions. And I did it. I'm very proud of myself. This was definitely out of my comfort zone.
