Beauty: Hair Chop (I Cut Off My Sister's Hair)


My younger sister, Ellie, has been wanting a pixie cut for a while now, and we finally got around to making the chop. I should mention that I'm NOT a hair professional, and I've had no training. I've been cutting hair for my family, and myself, for about 6-7 years. Everything I know about hair comes from the internet and practice.

 So many celebrities like Shailene Woodley, Jennifer Lawrence, and Jennifer Hudson are cutting all their hair off and rocking really cute pixie cuts. I tried to model my sisters cut after the very-short-in-the-back-longer-in-the-front, wispy look, that seems to be so popular. I am very happy with how it turned out and she really likes it. Also we got 10" of hair from the back and sides of her head, which we sent into Locks Of Love.


Here are some pics of her hair before. She had shoulder-length wavy hair with long layers. 




I began by sectioning off the top and gathering the rest in little ponytails (to get the most hair possible).


Then I just chopped them off.


I evened out the back and sides leaving it longer in the front. Then I got to work on the top. This took about an hour an a half. I really took my time making sure everything was blended, and there were no blunt pieces.


Here's the final result!






I hope you've enjoyed this post. Have a great day!
