It's CREACLIP!
But...what exactly is CREACLIP?
Well, i have given up on the search of a hairstylist that suits me.
It's pretty frustrating as they never seem to listen or understand. And of course, the end result never came to what i desire.
I have countless experiences with bangs especially and layers as i am VERY particular (anal perhaps?) about the way it should turn out.
Hair stylists NEVER seemed to get my bangs right! (well i'm sure for some of you lucky ones out there, good for you!)
I wanted full bodied side bangs and i always end up with flat wispy ones!
How annoying right?
So i actually cut my own bangs since, as i have natural curls and i understand how my hair will hold up after.
And no, i'm not having a Britney moment with my hair....
So i was prowling online and found CREACLIP and was immediately intrigued by it...
This was the youtube video i watched!
And that's the lovely MAI!

Creaclip is a company created by Mai Lieu (a fabulously nice lady!) and her company is from the United States.
It took 11days to reach to Singapore and it was sent via USPS First Class Mail International, in case you're wondering.
Communicating with Creaclip was very pleasant!
Mai handled my emails and i am very happy with her customer service and delivery!
Owning an online store myself, i understand that a strong customer oriented store is vital. Customers NEED to trust that their items will be delivered and if anything goes wrong, they know that they have a good customer base to fall back on.
Emails are normally replied within the day!
Not to mention that there is a vast timezone difference between here and USA!

I have trimmed my hair before and i recommend doing it at your bathroom's counter sink, in front of a good big mirror.
AND
Please lay enough newspaper ON the sink! You wouldn't want to clog it!!!
You may also do it in front of any mirror that reflects up to where your hair ends for visibility. With that, you may just need to cover a larger area of the floor as pieces of hair would fly around when you cut it.
- Large Paddle Brush. Great for combing out knots and tangles for long hair. (You HAVE to comb through before cutting!)
- Hair ties
- Claw clip
- And of course..your newspapers :)
I have worked on 2nd day hair, meaning, hair that was washed the night before.
I just prefer it as it is easier to manage. It is the same golden rule with heat styling as well.
Also after cutting, you may want to wash your hair or shower right?
That's my long hair, without any styling products on.
I have trimmed my hair ends few weeks before for split ends.
So this time i am just going to trim less than 1cm at the hair ends & give myself long layers (which i have no confidence to do so since its hard to do a good job as i can't see the alignment at the back of my head).
I chose to follow the video clip above for that 3 layer cut!
I like voluminous hair as i curl it a lot! This cut was perfect for me!
Although Creaclip advertises the short blue one for bangs. You can actually use it on fine hair, or if you want to cut straight ends easily.
I interchanged the use of both Creaclip and it took me 15mins tops to cut my hair.
And remember...
Cut little by little.
Don't be too quick to snip off more than 1 inch if you're unsure!
You can always go back and fix it. But once it's cut...sorry... :(
So i did the first layer and cut off 1inch.
The 2nd layer i did 1.5inches..
The 3rd and top crown area i used my side bangs as a gauge and left twice the length of that and snipped off the excess.
You just have to play around with your Creaclip to make it work for you!
I finished off by checking for alignments (especially the front ends) and trimmed it off without the Creaclip, and using the Creaclip to cut the longest ends of my hair to a U shape (there's a video and tricks on how to do that!)

Like Creaclip's celebrity 3 layer hair cut video!
That rounds off the review!
Here's a little pros and cons i've came up with.
Pros
✓Save money in the long run!
✓Cut with confidence & ease each time with the bubble gauge.
✓Great for whole family! Especially children's or even men's hair cut!
✓Excellent customer service!
Cons
My hair is pretty fine, so hair at the sides of the Creaclip may not hold. Thus, do press onto areas which have lesser hair when clipped, before cutting. But that doesn't deter that this is a faulty product really!
