Angled bangs fall diagonally to one side and are flattering on any face shape. Unfortunately, angled bangs do need to be maintained to keep them looking perfect. You should update yours approximately every 2-4 weeks. Learning how to style your own bangs will save you money on the haircut and time that you would otherwise spend on frequent trips to the salon to tidy up.

Method 1 of 3: Prepare your hair

1. Make sure your hair is completely dry. Wet hair dries shorter and in a different shape. With wet clipping, you can't work as accurately as you need to for those fabulous bangs. For the health of your hair, it is best to let it air dry. If you are in a hurry, you can also use the hair dryer.
2. Choose the right scissors. You don't necessarily need special hairdressing scissors, as long as your scissors are sharp. However, hairdressing scissors can be more ergonomic, so you can get a better result. Blunt scissors create frayed ends and damage your hair. Test the scissors on a piece of string to see if they are sharp enough.
3. Choose a suitable razor. This can be a classic knife, a barber's knife or even a disposable knife. Make sure the razor is sharp and has only one blade. Using blunt or multi-blade tools can cause split ends.
   • Professional hairdressing knives have an ergonomic handle, which is specially designed for cutting the hair.
   • Using a razor for very dry or curly hair may not be the best option as it can sometimes lead to split ends.
4. Take one section of hair at a time. Start with the part closest to your nose. Just as you would with scissors, hold one section at a time and cut for the best look. Remember to always pick 1.5cm or less to avoid cutting too much.
5. Straighten each section of bangs. Use your middle and index fingers to pull your hair up to a 90 degree angle to your face. Slide your fingers to the ends. Hold them just above where you want to cut.
6. Run the razor over your hair. Use your razor to gently cut the hair in a diagonal line. Use a gentle glide away from your face. Cut each section at the same angle. Continue until you get to the longest section.
7. Check your bangs when you are done. Comb your bangs and style them the way you want them. See if there are any parts you missed or that are uneven. Correct your mistake by grabbing the section in question once again and shortening it slightly with your razor.

Tips

• If you're going for a new look, you may want to cut your hair a little longer than you'd like. You can always cut it a little shorter if you find it too long, but it will take weeks to regrow if you cut it too short.
• Keep your hand still. An uneven line can ruin your bangs. If your hand is shaking from caffeine, avoid caffeinated drinks during the hours before cutting your bangs. If, on the other hand, you are addicted to caffeine, your hands may shake if you hold back. Make sure you find the right balance before cutting.
• Cutting with a knife instead of cutting with scissors gives a more layered look with more volume.
• You don't have to wash your hair before cutting it. Hairdressers often wash your hair with shampoo, because wet hair is faster to cut.

Warnings

• Be careful. Cutting too fast or too rigorously can damage your hair by cutting bites out of your bangs.
• Only use the razor method if you have experience and a steady hand. You can cut yourself easily. Cuts to the head and face can be very dangerous and leave scars.
