Meet the ponytail method, also known as "The Unicorn Cut. It's a bold move to say the least, but the results aren't as harsh as they seem. The ponytail method can only give you one type of haircut: a heavily layered one. As a professional hairstylist, I'd suggest only entertaining this method if you have extremely long hair or curly hair , because drastic layers are best suited for curly texture and lots of length.
Thankfully, attempting this haircut method at home requires only a few affordable tools. Here's what you'll need:. Continue reading for a quick breakdown on how to achieve this 5 minute transformation in just 5 simple steps.
A few flips of my thumb later and I saw another person in their bathroom, ponytail in one hand and scissors in the other. And then I saw a third one. And another… and another. Apparently, I had stumbled onto the world's next beauty phenomenon: the ponytail shag. Though these unconventional hair-cutting videos show results ranging from OK to flat-out amazing see the clip below , no one will be surprised to learn that hairstylists aren't the biggest fans.
View on TikTok. So, what can go wrong with the ponytail shag? Before we get into that, let's talk about why gathering and snipping hair like this creates these kinds of layers in the first place. You should have a professional making any other kind of haircuts. When you cut your hair wrong, using the wrong kind of elements, such as any kind of scissors , you damage the hair fiber. With damage, comes breakage. Wash your hair, making sure to untangle it completely. Comb your hair with a parting in the middle, pulling all your hair back, so that all your hair rests on your back.
Ask your friend to comb and style your hair so that it is well extended and flat. Now, lower your head, looking down. Once your chin reaches almost to your collarbone, your friend can start trimming your ends. Separate the strands that will become your future bangs. To do this, comb your hair with a parting in the middle.
Put your fingers near the bottom of how long you want your crop to be, and cut there. Take a thin vertical row of hair, and cut vertically up, or down it. You want to cut a straight, even line as you do so. Take as much off as you want to achieve the desired length. Continue to cut the rest of your hair.
Using the previously cut section as a guide, pull a small amount of hair into parallel to the first cut section, and cut accordingly. Continue taking parallel sections, using a small piece of the last cut section as a guide. Refine the edges when you are done so that it is even and balanced.
Method 5. This cut will give you heavier layers on the top of your hair. If you've recently washed your hair, you needn't wash it again. You can simply wet it using a spray bottle and some fresh water. Bend over at the waist, with your head pointing downward. If you don't want to turn upside down to cut your hair, you can also do the high ponytail method while standing upright. Just hold the high ponytail up over your head in one hand as you follow the rest of these steps.
Comb or brush your hair into a ponytail near the top of your head. Do this while you are still bending over at the waist, with your head pointing downward. To ensure that your hair is as even as possible, aim for a ponytail that is right at the centre and top of your head. Use a mirror to help you determine the position of the ponytail. Secure your ponytail tightly with an elastic band.
Put this first band close to your scalp so that your hair cannot slip out of it. Place another elastic band further down the ponytail. This second elastic band will sit just below where you want to make the cut. Cut your hair just above the second elastic band.
Holding the bottom of your hair firmly in one hand, hold scissors in the other hand and use them to cut through your hair. Do not try to cut through the entire ponytail of hair all at once. Make small snips until you are all the way through the ponytail. Release your hair from the ponytail. Remove the elastic band and shake out your hair. Brush it and run your fingers through it.
Make some finishing touches. If it looks too blunt or uneven, flip your hair over once more, again securing it into a ponytail at the top centre of your head, then, holding the ponytail in one hand, trim any stray hairs that hang out of the end of the ponytail.
There shouldn't be many stray hairs. If you see a lot of them, move the ponytail around on your head until the hair is mostly even when you grasp it in your hand. For a more natural look, you can make some small, upward cuts into the ponytail. This will soften the ends of your hair so that the cut looks less blunt. It will also give it more of a shaggy look, incorporating any unevenness into the style. Method 6.
Ensure that your hair is clean, smooth and dry. This is particularly important to do before you start cutting, especially if you have frizzy hair. This cut is good if you want more layers framing your face. Brush your hair into a ponytail at the centre of your forehead. With your head still upside down, brush your hair forward and gather it into a nice tight, secure ponytail that starts right on your hairline in the centre of your forehead.
Think unicorn horn. Work out how long you want your first layer of hair to be. Are you going for a fringe that ends at your eyebrows or layers that start at your chin? Measure the distance of where your ponytail starts on your forehead to where you want your first layer of hair to fall. You can measure this distance with a comb. Hold your ponytail firmly with one hand and cut it with the other.
Get your scissors and then shear your ponytail off at the length you measured with the comb. Snip into the blunt end of the ponytail. Change your grip on the scissors now and, pointing them directly into the hair, snip into the blunt end of the ponytail until it looks like a shaving brush: all graduated and fluffy, with no hard lines. Take care to lean forward as you do this so you don't jab the scissors towards your eyes or get bits of chopped hair falling into your eyes.
Pull off the hair elastic and shake your head so your hair falls into place. Method 7. Start with clean, dry, brushed hair. If it's not already straight, you may want to straighten it as well. This haircut may not be suitable for people with fine or thin hair as it will remove quite a bit of weight from the bottom of your hair. Using a fine-toothed comb, divide your hair into two equal parts, using a mirror to ensure that the line down the center of your head is straight, and that the two halves are even.
Put your hair in low pigtails. Tie the two halves of your hair into two separate ponytails also known as pigtails. Ensure that they sit low on your head, behind and below your ears — close to where your hair meets your neck at the sides of your head. Tighten the pigtails.
Then, gently pull the two halves away from one another so that the elastic band moves upwards, closer to the base of your head. Pull the elastic bands around your pigtails down evenly and slowly. When you've reached the desired length STOP! Cut your hair just beneath the elastic band. Do this for both sides. If you cut your hair straight across, it will look choppy; for a more natural look, hold the scissors at a degree angle and cut upward into your hair.
Remove the ponytail holders. Once you've cut each pigtail, you'll notice that your hair comes to a point at the back. If you like the V-shape at the back of your hair, move on to the next step. If you don't like it, you can remove the point by tying your hair into a single ponytail at the nape of your neck, and then clipping off the point. Polish your cut. Trim your ends and snip any bits of hair that seem longer than the rest.
When point-cutting into the ends, hold the scissors at a 45 degree angle to the hair. Method 8. Wash and towel dry your hair. There is no need to blowdry your hair as you'll want it to still be slightly damp for this cut. Place a towel on the floor in front of you. This will catch the pieces of hair as you cut them.
Flip your head over and brush all of your hair in the direction of the floor. Cut in small sections, moving left to right. Cut parallel to the floor, being careful not to move your head. After each small section, run a comb through your hair to ensure that you're cutting it as evenly as possible.
Always take off less than you'd like, as your hair will be slightly shorter when it's dry. Remember, you can always take off more hair; go slow and be conservative in your cuts. Stand upright and evaluate. Once you're done, you should have evenly trimmed hair with some long layers in it. Method 9. Ensure that hair is clean and damp. If you have recently washed your hair and do not wish to do so again, you can spray your hair down with a spray bottle full of fresh water, instead.
Stand in front of a mirror. If possible, stand in front of a large bathroom mirror, with another mirror placed behind you so that you can see what you are doing from both sides.
