Hola, This is how I cut my long hair at home. I Use a combo of Faye's method and the ponytail method which are both awesome! I found this video www.youtube.com/watch?v=L9Erf49Eyxc by Habioku that explains the first step in so much more detail. She has beautiful hair! I like to take it one step further by adding face framing layers to the front section of my hair. Hope you all enjoy!
