Alright guys, so today I’m gonna walk you through my experience with the “birds nest hair cut.” I know, the name sounds kinda wild, but trust me, it’s a fun one!
First off, I saw this cut online and was immediately intrigued. My hair was getting long and boring, and I wanted something with texture and a bit of an edge. So, I started by doing some research. I watched a bunch of videos and looked at pictures to get a good idea of what I was going for.
Next up, I gathered my tools. I’m no professional, but I’ve been cutting my own hair for years, so I have the basics: sharp scissors, a comb, some hair clips, and a spray bottle with water. I also grabbed a towel to drape around my shoulders.
Then the real fun started. I sectioned off my hair, starting with the bottom layer. I took a small chunk, pulled it away from my head, and started point-cutting into it. This is key to getting that “birds nest” texture – you’re not cutting straight across, but rather making small, choppy snips. It felt a little scary at first, like I was just hacking away, but I kept going.
I just kept going and kept on layering, working my way up to the top of my head. With each layer, I tried to blend the lengths, making sure not to leave any harsh lines. This part took the longest because I was being super careful. I also found it helpful to occasionally step back and look at my hair from different angles to make sure everything looked even.
After that, I took some time to refine the cut. I went through and trimmed any stray pieces that were sticking out and added more texture where needed. This is where the “birds nest” effect really started to come together. It was looking messy, but in a cool, intentional way.
To finish things off, I used some texturizing spray to really enhance the choppy layers. And honestly? I loved it! It was exactly the kind of edgy, textured look I was hoping for.
Of course, it wasn’t perfect. I definitely made a few mistakes along the way, and there are some spots that could be more even. But hey, that’s part of the fun of DIY, right? I also learned a lot about my own hair and how it responds to different cutting techniques.
Would I recommend trying the “birds nest hair cut” yourself? Absolutely! Just be prepared to embrace the messiness and have some fun with it. And maybe watch a few more videos than I did, just to be extra sure you know what you’re getting into!
