How to Cut or Trim Your Own Bangs

Hi, I'm Jessica Tingley and we are up here at Frederick Fakai in Beverly Hills and these are my style tips. So, step one for trimming your own bangs is really gathering the right equipment. You really need to have actual hair cutting shears. You can't use nail clippers or things like that because you're going to make a mess. So, you really want to find a nice pair of real hair cutting shears that you only cut hair with and a comb. Step two for trimming your bangs is really to have your hair styled as usual.

You want to have it kind of going the direction it's going. If you have a sweepy bang, blow dry them that way so you can really see what you're doing. You're not cutting something that doesn't belong. You don't want to start cutting your bangs on wet hair at all. So, just make sure they're dry and sort of going the direction you want them to go. Step three is gathering your hair, your dry hair, and separating out the front pieces that are your bangs, making sure you're not grabbing a piece from over here.

So, just separate it out, comb them really smooth, and make sure all the rest of your hair is out of the way so you don't accidentally cut anything. And step four is pulling the hair straight out where you can see in front of your eyes. And just take your shears and trim. And that's how to trim your bangs.
