The Cutting Process
Starting Dry
- Begin by styling your hair as you normally would; cutting your hair dry is best because it provides accuracy, according to the reference article.
Layering First (Optional, but recommended)
* Cut longer layers around your whole head before focusing on the bangs. This can help create a softer look.
* Frame your face by cutting longer layers, this will help blend the bangs in.
* Layering the sides also helps blend the bangs in better.
* Once the layering process is done, take the hair out of the ponytail.Focusing on Bangs
- Section the Bangs:
- Section off the hair for your bangs into an inverted V shape using a comb. This creates a natural-looking sweep.
- Cutting the Bangs
- Cut the bangs at a slight angle using your shears; This method helps create softer, more feathered edges that are more forgiving.
Post-Cut Check
- After cutting, check the length and make sure that they are the length you were aiming for, adjust accordingly if necessary.
Tips for Success:
- Start Small: Always cut less than you think you need to. You can always cut more, but you can't put it back.
- Use Sharp Shears: Dull scissors can cause uneven cuts and split ends.
- Take your Time: Don’t rush the process; it's better to go slow and steady.
By following these steps, you can confidently cut your front bangs at home. Remember, patience and practice make perfect.
