Trim Your Own Bang

Step 1: Wet your bangs.

Step 2: Towel blot strands bangs. Detangle bangs completely to remove knots. If your hair is prone to frizz, apply a defrisant product before you blow dry.

Step 3: Blow bangs completely dry. If bangs are wavy or naturally curly, use a boar's head paddle or natural round brush to blow bangs completely straight.


Step 4: Separate bangs into three equal sized sections.


Step 5: Clip the two end sections away from the middle section. Firmly, without stretching hair, grab the middle section of bang hair hair between the index and middle finger of your dominant hand so
that it forms a smooth even line.


Step 6: Hold your trimming scissors at a 45 degree angle to avoid crooked slicing when chopping straight across. Start very slowly and snip off tiny pieces of the bangs with the scissors moving from the right to the left. Finish clipping the middle section. Check the length. If you need more hair removed, repeat the same action cutting from left to right.



Step 7: Once you are happy with the length of the middle section, unclip the right side. Using the finished middle section as a point of reference for the length you desire, cut the side section.


Step 8: Once both sides have been trimmed, study the completely sweep of bangs from edge to edge. Make any adjustments to the middle or either side.
