@katliamom It wasn’t difficult. I just cut all the hair in the clip about 1 inch…then collected top half of the hair in clip and cut about an inch…and then the front crown area and cut about an inch. I already had a grown out layered cut, but it was difficult to see where the layers are because it blends. I just curled it and looks like I like it to look. I think it is probably more forgiving for my type of cut since it is medium-long. Again, I am not super picky about my hair.
