Avoid parting or combing your hair when it is wet as this can damage your hair. Dry your hair before you start. This will stop your hair from shrinking when it dries and leaving you with shorter bangs than you intended.
If you want very thin bangs, place the tip of your comb 0. 5 inches (1. 3 cm) from the front of your parting. If you want thicker bangs, measure 1. 5 inches (3. 8 cm) back from the front of your parting. Keep in mind that cutting thicker bangs will make it harder to see through your bangs. This is particularly true if your hair is dense.
If one of the partings is narrower than the other, brush your hair and start the parting process again. Keep trying until you achieve an even triangle parting.
If the rest of your hair isn’t long enough to tuck behind your ears, use a few bobby pins to secure the hair.
If you find that the hair doesn’t cover as much of your forehead as you wanted, redo the triangle parts at a wider angle. This will give you a greater width of hair to spread across your face.
If you want longer bangs, move your fingers further down your hair toward your eyes.
If you don’t have hairdressing scissors, use a sharp pair of fabric scissors instead. However, it’s best to purchase or borrow a pair of hairdressing scissors, as other types of scissors can damage your hair and cause split ends. Cut your hair over the sink to make it easier to clean up afterward. If you want your bangs to frame the sides of your face, cut your hair in a slight semi-circle shape. This will give you longer strands towards your ears which will make the fringe look more natural.
Only cut a few strands of hair at a time to avoid the bangs looking uneven. As you cut, use the first section of hair as a guide for cutting the remaining sections.
Make sure your hair is completely dry before straightening it to avoid damaging your hair. Additionally, apply a light coat of heat protectant to your hair before you straighten it.
