How to Cut Your Bangs at Home: Tips and Ideas

If you’re thinking about cutting your bangs yourself, we’ve got some tips and tricks to help you get the look you want. And if that doesn’t work, remember that hair grows back and that whoever doesn’t take a chance doesn’t win. Plus, now might be the perfect time to take a chance and cut your bangs in that style you’ve been wanting to try for a long time.

Things to consider if you’re going to cut your own bangs.

Use a Sharp Scissor

To cut hair with precision, use sharp and easy-to-handle scissors. It’s preferable to use specific scissors for cutting hair, but if you don’t have any, simply make sure they cut well and aren’t too huge to hold.

Dry or Wet Hair?

You can do it either way, but keep in mind that wet hair tends to be longer than dry hair, and the sensation of length increases if you also brush it with a fine comb. The advantage of wet hair is that it allows you to control it better and handle it with more precision, but you may be surprised because you have cut more than you expected.

If you want to trim your bangs with dry hair, first wash and dry your hair as usual, then follow the instructions again, but this time with dry hair.

What Kind of Bangs to Cut?

Another key consideration is to determine what style of bangs you want to trim; if you’re going to do it yourself, choose something inconspicuous and uncomplicated so that if the outcome does not satisfy you, you can conceal it or fix it quickly. It’s best not to take too many chances the first time, but if you’re brave enough to do it, the hair will regrow.

How to Cut Bangs Step by Step

Choose whether you want to do it with dry or wet hair first, and then follow the steps below.

• To begin, comb your hair back and gather it in a ponytail or bun.
• Now separate and comb forward the section of your hair that will be chopped; keep in mind that the further back I count, the thicker your bangs will be.
• Make a triangle out of the amount of hair you want to trim, keeping in mind that the further back you go, the fuller your bangs will be.
• Comb the hair forward and leave a couple of fingers longer than you believe the length should be; remember that you’ll have to correct the cut later, and it’s better that it’s not missing.
• Twist the hair to the desired length and mark the cutting line with your fingers or a bag clip. Always cut below your fingers, not above, and cut straight.
• Now separate the hair and begin cutting diagonally from top to bottom to blend it in with the rest of your hair; because it is a stepped cut, you will need to leave it longer to parade it.
• After that, the lower section stands out a little more, making the bangs look less like a thick line and more like a lighter line at the ends.
• This is more or less the result if everything went well; this sort of cut is curtain type, and it is one of the simplest cuts; however, you must be careful in the final finish, and it must be nicely incorporated into your cut.
