How to Cut Wispy Curtain Bangs?

Published in Hair styling 2 mins read

Based on the provided video snippet, here's a method for cutting wispy curtain bangs, inspired by Sabrina Carpenter, using a clip-in extension:

  1. Use a clip-in extension: Instead of cutting your own hair directly, use a clip-in extension. This allows you to experiment and avoid mistakes on your actual hair.

  2. Clip in the extension: Secure the extension, mimicking where your natural curtain bangs would fall, creating a "V" shape to blend with your existing hair.

  3. Dampen the strands: Lightly dampen the extension hair to make it easier to cut and manage.

  4. Cut the face framing pieces: Cut the extension to achieve the desired length and wispy texture for your curtain bangs.

Important Considerations (Inferred):

  • Length: Determine the desired length of your bangs before cutting. Curtain bangs typically fall between the cheekbones and the jawline.
  • Angle: Cut the extension at a slight angle, shorter in the middle and gradually longer towards the sides, to create the curtain effect.
  • Wispy Texture: Achieve a wispy texture by using thinning shears or point-cutting (holding the scissors vertically and snipping into the ends of the hair). Alternatively, use a razor tool for a softer, more feathered look.
  • Blending: After cutting, blend the extension bangs with your natural hair by styling them together. You can use a round brush and blow dryer to create the signature curtain bang sweep.

Disclaimer: Cutting hair, especially bangs, can be tricky. Consider consulting a professional hairstylist for best results, particularly if you're unsure about the technique or your hair type. This method using an extension can be helpful for practicing.
