Are you tired of going to the salon and shelling out money for cutting your bangs? Start saving time and money by doing this procedure yourself! Whether you need straight or angled bangs, trimming them is a simple matter not to be feared.

Steps

Method 1 of 2: Trimming the beveled bangs

1. 1 Part your hair. Use a fine-toothed comb and comb your hair to make it smooth and tangle free. For side bangs, you will need to part the bangs towards the side where they naturally fall.
   • Then use the index finger of your free hand (not the one you have the comb in) to lock the hair separated for the bangs at the hairline. Place the tip of the comb where you placed the tip of your index finger.
   • See where your brow arch is located, which is the opposite of where you applied the tip of the comb. Align your finger between these two points to create a straight, oblique line.
   • Pin any hair outside the bangs back. You will only be left with the hair that needs to be shortened.
2. 2 Moisturize your hair. Use a spray bottle with water to lightly dampen the bangs. Comb through it with a comb to detangle and also make sure you separate the bangs evenly. Never cut completely wet hair, as in this state the hair becomes longer, and after drying, the bangs may turn out to be shorter than desired.
3. 3 Cut off your bangs. Take scissors, align their slope in accordance with the slope of the bangs (from the tip of the index finger to the brow arch). Then bring them to the tip of your nose and cut your hair at the same angle.
   • Cut your hair with as few scissors as possible, making sure you don't miss anything.
   • If you cut the hair at the level of the nose, you will end up with a side bang that is long enough that you can make the bangs shorter.
   • When shortening your bangs, cut your hair about 1 cm each time to avoid accidentally shortening it more than necessary.
4. 4 Style your bangs. Take a brush, bring it under the roots of the hair in the bangs, direct the air flow from the hair dryer upwards. Let your bangs dry for a couple of minutes to dry completely and set them aside. Rejoice!

Method 2 of 2: Cutting straight bangs

1. 1 Part your hair. Place your index finger against your forehead so that the second knuckle of the finger is at the hairline. Then, place the comb at the tip of your finger. This will be the starting point. Part the hair with a comb, aligning the selection with the outer ends of the eyebrows. Pin back the rest of your hair.
2. 2 Collect your hair. Comb all the separated hairs over your face, making sure they are not tangled. This will straighten your hair, which is what you want for straight bangs.
3. 3 Moisturize your hair. Use a spray bottle with water to lightly dampen the bangs. Avoid getting your bangs too wet, as wet hair gets longer than dry hair and you may cut more than you should. It is only necessary to slightly moisturize the hair so that it does not frizz and curl, thereby escaping from under the scissors.
4. 4 Cut off your hair. At the middle of the nose, cut the hair with a minimum of scissors. Then shorten the bangs by working vertically with scissors, not horizontally. A vertical haircut, in comparison with a horizontal one, is less likely to get an uneven cut line of hair. Cut your hair into sections of about 1 cm so as not to cut off excess.
5. 5 Style your hair. Wet your hair thoroughly and then blow dry to get rid of small pieces of hair. Rejoice!

Tips

• You can call someone else to prevent you from making mistakes.
• For curly hair: When cutting each curl, keep the hair at a 45 degree angle so that the outer edge of the curl is longer than the inner edge. This makes for very nice curl ends that all look great together.
• If your hair is naturally curly, leave it a lot of extra length. For example, people with curls should not cut more half of the length that it seems necessary to cut. After each single cut, let go of your hair to allow the hair to return to its natural position and you can look at the length you get before continuing.
• If you are a child you need parental help / permission to cut your hair.

Warnings

• Don't cut your bangs by simply hacking the hair out of your face. They don't grow back as quickly.
• Usually bangs should be shortened by no more than 6 mm; do not get carried away.
• Be careful when working with scissors near the face and eyes.

What do you need

• Sharp scissors
• Flat comb with fine teeth
• A couple of hair clips to clip in excess hair
• A mirror you don't need to hold to look into
