Have you ever been in a situation where you needed to trim your bangs quickly but were unable to go to the salon? I can relate. That’s why I have become skilled at cutting my own bangs at home. In this article, I will provide my personal advice and methods for achieving professional bangs without having to leave your house!
1. Gather your tools
Before we begin, make sure you have all the necessary tools on hand. You’ll need a pair of professional hair cutting scissors, a fine-toothed comb, and some hair clips to section off your bangs.
2. Start with clean, dry hair
Always begin the trimming process with clean, dry hair. Wet hair tends to shrink when it dries, which may result in uneven bangs. So, give your bangs a good wash and thoroughly dry them before you start.
3. Section off your bangs
Using the fine-toothed comb, carefully section off your bangs from the rest of your hair. You can create a triangular section or a straight line, depending on the style you prefer. Use the hair clips to secure the remaining hair out of the way.
4. Begin cutting
Hold the scissors vertically and start cutting your bangs horizontally. Go for small, incremental cuts rather than cutting off a large chunk all at once. This will give you more control and ensure that you don’t accidentally trim off too much.
5. Check for balance
After each cut, release a small section of hair and check for balance. Are both sides even? Adjust as needed, making sure to trim a little at a time until you achieve your desired length.
6. Texturize if desired
If you prefer textured bangs, you can use the blade of the scissors to create soft, wispy ends. Simply point the scissors upwards and make tiny vertical cuts along the bottom of your bangs. This will give them a more natural and effortless look.
7. Style and admire
Once you’re satisfied with the length and texture of your bangs, style them as desired. Use a round brush and a blow dryer to give them some volume or apply a bit of styling product if needed. Take a moment to admire your handiwork!
Trimming your own bangs can be a daunting task, but with the right tools and techniques, you can achieve salon-quality results from the comfort of your own home. Just remember to take it slow, make small cuts, and always check for balance. Happy trimming!
