How To Cut Side Bangs

Everyone’s bangs seem grow faster than the rest of their hair, so I’ll share some secrets to cutting a side bang. Does anyone remember Nick Arojo from What Not To Wear? A few years back I took a class from him down in LA. What I’ll be teaching you is similar to what he taught me. The only differences are the fact that he had us cut tiny sections at a time and we used a straight razor. The over all concept is the same though. Step One: With dry hair, section out your bang area. You want your hair to be dry so you don’t accidentally cut too much. Clip the rest of your hair out of the way. Step Two: Starting at your eyebrow, cut down the side of your section with the scissors to create an angle. You might have to take another pass going upward to get a nice clean line. Step Three: Do the same to the other side. Now you should have a nice point with the shortest pieces being by your brow. Step Four: Take thinning shears and cut into the section vertically several times to reduce the bulk of the hair. My biggest criticism of people cutting their own bangs is how it tends to look like a big random chunk of hair hanging in their face. This helps with that. What are thinning shears? Take a look! They are also called texturizing shears. Anyone attempting haircuts at home needs a pair of these. The “teeth” come in different sizes and spacing to cut a lot or very little hair. This pair has pretty moderate spacing and I use it the most. Your done! Easy enough right?
