Bangs are in right now and sometimes it’s just too much work to go all the way to the salon for bang upkeep and trims. Keep in mind, though, that many salons will do free bang trimming if you are regular customer. But if you would like to be able to trim your bangs at home, and just don’t know how, I have the step-by-step instructions you’ll need to get great bangs in no time!
1. Start with quality scissors. The best kind to use is sharp, pointed scissors no longer than 5 inches long. You can buy great scissors at any local beauty store.
2. Always cut your bangs dry. If you cut them wet, they will shrink when they dry and end up too short.
3. Pull all your hair back that you won’t be trimming, either in a ponytail or with bobby pins. Only your bangs should be loose.
4. Divide your bangs in half with a styling comb. Styling combs are combs with very fine teeth. Comb half of the bangs downward with the comb’s teeth facing outward. Rest the comb on the brow bone and don’t cut your bangs any shorter than where the comb hits your face.
5. Start ‘point-cutting’ or snipping the hair at a 45-degree angle. Go slowly, only doing a bit at a time. Don’t ever cut your bangs straight across since it’s impossible to keep a perfectly straight line.
6. If you want shaggy, face-framing bangs, use a razor instead of the scissors. Use only a single-blade razor, since double or triple-blades will cause split ends. Use your index and middle finger to hold the bangs, instead of the scissors in step 5.
7. Repeat either the scissor or razor cutting (whichever you have chosen) to the other half of your bangs.
8. If you want to add layers to your bangs, you can pull some of the bangs vertically above your head with your index and middle fingers. Slide your fingers right to the edge of the hair, letting some hair fall. Back your fingers up about an inch and point or razor cut no more than ½ inch away from your fingers.
9. When you’re done, check to make sure each half of your bangs is even. To test this, pull a section of bangs from each side of your face towards the center of your face. They should be equidistance from the bridge of your nose.
Congratulations! Now you’re done and I’m sure your bangs look great! This whole process should only take about 10 minutes from start to finish, so you can squeeze it in whenever!
