Bangs can be super stylish and make for a great look, but they do come with a host of inconveniences. If you’re willing to put up with them getting sweaty and blowing out of place in the wind, then you’ll also have to find a way to deal with the problem of how quickly they grow and how often they have to be trimmed.
Sure, you can go to the hairdresser for a trim every four weeks, but that can get annoying and expensive. Your best bet? Learning how to trim them yourself. Don’t worry, it’s not as scary as it sounds. Here’s how to make it work.
First, make sure that you use real hair cutting scissors. They’re not that expensive and they won’t ruin your hair like kitchen or office scissors.
You’ll also want to get familiar with point cutting. Instead of cutting straight across like a piece of paper, point cutting involves cutting upward with small snips until your hair reaches the length you want. It’s much more forgiving.
Finally, start small! Just cut off a tiny bit at first to build up your confidence cutting into your own hair. Then, once you’ve figured it out, you can always take more length off.
Good luck and bang on!
