How to cut your own bangs at home?

If you want to alter your appearance without going too drastic, bangs are a great option. It enables you to add fresh accents, highlight the oval of the face, and draw attention to the eyes whether it is thick or light, straight or oblique. Bangs are easy to cut with your hands, unlike a full haircut, which can be challenging to do at home. A comb, some patience, and some sharp scissors are all you’ll need. We show you how to create bangs using any of the hottest forms.

Straight bangs

• Divide damp strands into several horizontal layers, for example three. Pin the two top layers with invisible pins or clamps.

• Start cutting the bangs from the center to the right, holding the scissors vertically rather than horizontally, as if you were going to thin out the hair. You won’t need to pull the strands in the free-fall haircut technique. The ideal length of the first layer is a few millimeters below the upper eyebrow line.

• Clamping the hair layer with a comb just above the working area, continue the process from the center of the forehead in the opposite direction: you need to cut the bangs evenly from temple to temple. At the temples, the cutting line should rise at a slight angle upwards.

• Repeat the cutting on the second layer of hair, then on the last. Dry the strands and trim the cut. If you still find it difficult to work with scissors in a vertical plane, trim horizontally.

• Try profiling the ends, lifting strand by strand and thinning the hair slightly, holding the scissors so that their tips are perpendicular to the cut.

• Don"t try to immediately make a stylish shortened bangs. Let it be long, then if the home experiment fails, the hairdresser will easily correct your mistake.

What if you didn’t get wet and chopped your own bangs? or by tugging the threads?

We reply that nothing negative will occur. Furthermore, our professionals advise against wetting the bangs in certain methods as you will undoubtedly cut off more than you intended. This method can be used to cut straight bangs without compromising the strands’ tension. Your bangs will be lighter the higher the pull. Pulling down produces massive bangs that are the least light.

Experts at SalonSecret provide a life hack. The uniformity and smoothness of the strands are arguably the most crucial aspects of styling straight bangs. Using a hot hairdryer, style them with a drop of Redken Oil for All applied to a round brush. Actually, this is heat protection, but the oil’s disciplinary qualities make it a great helper in any circumstance. The styling’s light texture ensures that a voluminous straight bang keeps its airy volume.

Oblique bangs

Experts at SalonSecret provide a life hack. Using mousse and a large-diameter brush to style bangs with side lengthening is the most elegant option. Kérastase’s Mousse Densimorphose will give the hair a glossy, silky finish while also giving the bangs the volume and noticeable thickness they need.

How else can you cut curtain bangs yourself?

Bangs are very offensive because they grow back so quickly. They seem to be creeping back into your eyes as if you just left the salon. But there’s more positive news. Grown-out bangs of almost any shape can be trimmed with your own hands, saving you the hassle of visiting the hairdresser every two weeks.

Method No. 1: classic

You will only need very sharp scissors.

• Wash and dry your bangs completely.

• Spray them with water from a spray bottle and comb them so that the strands touch your forehead tightly.

• Pinch the central part of the bangs between your middle and index fingers and cut no more than half a centimeter.

• Trim the side strands, trying not to deepen the bangs in the temple area, the longest side strand of the bangs should be below the eyebrow line.

• Compare the side strands by pulling them with both hands: they should be the same length.

• Dry the bangs with a hairdryer and trim where necessary.

Experts at SalonSecret provide a life hack. Instead of holding the scissors perpendicularly, hold them at a 45-degree angle to neaten the ends of the bangs.

To stop your hand from shaking while cutting the bangs with one of the fingers that are clamped between the strands, rest it on the bridge of your nose.

Method No. 2: in layers

A laborious procedure, but it makes the cut perfectly even.

• Wash, dry your hair and divide the bangs into several horizontal layers.

• Separate and pin up the two upper layers, comb the lower one and cut strand by strand, starting from the sides areas.

• Separate the second layer, repeat the trimming.

• Do the same for the third layer.

• Comb the entire bangs and trim where necessary.

Method #3: paper

Have you ever attempted to draw arrows on your eyelids and temples using tape? This method is comparable, but it doesn’t require any glue.

• Wash and dry your bangs.

• Comb the strands.

• Attach a sheet of A4 paper to your bangs so that the edge of the sheet is at the level of the desired bang length.

• Use a hair clipper to remove everything that goes beyond the edges of the sheet. Comb again and see if you are satisfied with the result.
