How do you cut long hair by flipping it over?

I have a friend who is a beautician and she does this on the "side". We actually work together at a major cell phone company and I was in shock one day when she put a co-workers hair in a ponytail...my co-worker then flipped her hair over and my friend just CUT the pony tail .....about two inches off the end. She then took the hair down...shook it out and it was BEAUTIFUL. Perfect layers. I don't know that I would have the nerve to try it but good luck!

NOT BY YOURSELF!

She can see things from a different perspective that you cant when in that same position.

The cut is not only one cut across the hairline... it is a downward angle that you can't properly do yourself from that position with the perspective needed to do it right...

Trust me... don't do it yourself!
