Trim your own bangs

Trim your own bangs

Save time and money by learning how to trim your own bangs.

You Will Need:

* A fine-tooth comb
* Elastic bands, pins, or clips
* Hair-cutting scissors
* A steady hand

Step 1: Style your bangs
Style your bangs the way you usually do, making sure to apply any styling products you frequently use.
*Tip: Make sure your hair is completely dry. If you cut your bangs when they’re wet, they’ll dry to a shorter length than you wanted.

Step 2: Section off hair
Section off the hair you do not want to cut by putting it in a ponytail, pinning or clipping it away, or tucking it behind your ears.

Step 3: Comb bangs
Comb your bangs down. Then, holding the scissors vertically, start making little snips using just the points of the scissors. Err on the side of caution: You can always cut more hair, but you can’t reattach what you’ve cut!
*Tip: Don’t try to cut your bangs across in a straight line. It’s very difficult to do, so they’ll likely end up uneven.

Step 4: Hold down your bangs
If you need more control, hold your bangs down with one hand as you snip. Just keep in mind that the bangs will spring up a bit when you release your hand, so leave them slightly longer than your desired length.

Step 5: Comb hair again
When you’re done, comb the bangs once more to shake loose any cut hairs.

Step 6: Show off
Show off your handiwork!

*Fact:
In the late 19th century, fashionable English women sported “frisettes,” or curly bangs, with the rest of their hair pulled back.
