Steps on how you could cut layers into hair at home?

I have very bad experience with salons that cut my hair(either too short or not even noticable) so I'm thinking of letting my mom cut my hair. She cuts perfectly straight across all one length but how could she add one long layer. Step by step directions would be helpful, and 10pts to best answer! Thanks in advanceSteps on how you could cut layers into hair at home?

um... i cut my own hair without my mom noticing.. so take like a little at a time and just snip at different parts.
first straighten your hair then take a rag of wet water and damp %26amp; wet your hair where you want your layers to be
i am not to sure but i have seen girls put their hair in a pony tail and cut diagonally, best advice don't do it at home find a salon...
i am going to try cutting my hair using the method that Belin told and i'll tell you how it goes:)


wish me luck:)
If your hair is long, sit down, bend your head (like looking underneath your chair), comb your hair all down like you're going to do a ponytail on top of your head. Hold it like that and cut it all by once considering the length you want for bangs (3,5 to 4 inches). When you comb it back down, your hair will be in perfect layers.
with me i took a shower, strighted my hair and just cut highs and lows and it was layered
Steps


1. Shampoo and condition your hair. Towel dry, leaving your hair rather on the wet side. You may want to have a spray bottle of water nearby to keep your hair moist during the process of cutting your hair.


2. Comb your wet hair straight back.


3. With your comb, evenly section off about one half inch of hair as though you are going to cut 鈥渂angs锟?, but continue the section all the way down your face in front of the ears. The rest of your hair should still be combed straight back to keep it out of your way.You should see a straight line from the top of your head to the sides.


4. Bring the top-section hair forward and down in front of your eyes. Using your nose as a measurement for length, cut the section of hair straight across to just the outer edges of your eyes. Your starting cut should be at the tip of your nose, but if you want your hair shorter, cut higher up but never higher than the bridge of your nose. You should now have a straight line from the outer edge of one eye to the other. This line will be your length guide for cutting the remainder of your hair. The further down your nose you make your first cut, the longer your overall haircut will be.


5. Standing in front of the mirror, comb the section you鈥檝e just cut straight up. Holding your hair between your index finger and your middle finger in a scissor-like grip, snip off just the very tips of this section. All you are trying to do here is get a straight line while the hair is held straight up. Cut too much, and you will have a shorter haircut overall.


6. Comb the sides of the section straight up pulling with it some of the hair you鈥檝e just cut. Notice that you can easily see how the sides are longer than the cut section. Using the 鈥渂ang锟? cut as your guide, and holding the side sections straight up, make your next cuts straight across. When you let the hair go you will notice that it falls easily into layers.


7. With your comb, section off another small halo of hair from ear to ear combing it forward and keeping the remainder of your hair straight back. Comb the new section of hair straight up, pulling with it the first section as your cutting guide. You should easily see where the first section was cut and the new section that is needing to be cut. Cut the second section evenly with the first. Pull the side sections straight up again to cut it even with the bang area.


8. Continue sectioning and pulling the hair straight up and cutting across using the guide lines from each previous cut. Be careful not to section off too much for each new cut, as it makes it difficult to see where your cutting guideline is. You will continue sectioning and cutting all the way to the back of your head, pulling each section straight up until you have sectioned and cut all of your hair.





Tips


* Keeping your hair fairly wet through this process makes it easier to hold the area you are not cutting out of your way.


* Be careful to continue your cuts at the same length all the way across the top as you pull each section up. It is very easy to make slightly shorter cuts as you section towards the back of your head which will give you kind of a punk look on the very top of your head.


* To make an even longer version of this haircut, comb each section straight up and slightly forward when making your cuts. This will make the overall cut longer in the back, leaving the front shorter and wispy.


* The first few times you cut your hair this way, cut only a small amount and work towards the length you are really after. Making drastic changes can cause you to be very unhappy with the cut you鈥檝e made.


* This method of cutting your hair can be used for rather short to very long depending on the angle you pull your hair.


* Use a pair of scissors that is meant for cutting hair. These types of scissors have that 鈥渉ook锟? off of one of the finger-holes. Scissors should be held with the thumb in one hole and the ring finger in the hole with the 鈥渉ook锟?. Your pinky finger rests on the 鈥渉ook锟? . This gives you complete control of the scissors so that you can insert and remove your thumb from its placement and you can comb the sections of hair as you go along without having to put the scissors down between each cut.


* With each cut, hold the hair you are about to cut between your index finger and the middle finger in a scissor like grip. This way you can use your finger as a guide for your scissorw to make straight cuts. Don't bend your fingers.


* Make sure you cut straight across from ear to ear, not tilting your scissors. To do so will cause one side of your haircut to be longer than the other.


* Have sharp scissors. There is nothing worse than trying to chew through your hair with a dull pair of scissors.


* Understand that if you currently have a haircut that is a 鈥渂ob';, where the hair is rather long in the front and sides but short in back, this cut will cause your hair to be drastically short looking.


* Keep the blades of the scissors closed between each cut.
