Hair grows a half an inch or so a month. That means your bangs need a trim every three weeks to maintain a consistent length. If you plan on trimming, yours frequently invest in scissors made for cutting hair or use sharp cuticle scissors, whose small size will keep you from being tempted to cut large sections. A common mistake. We all make start with your bangs dry and, as straight as possible, wet hair tends to shrink as it dries so after you shower separate your bangs from the rest of your hair and pull the rest of your hair into a ponytail. So you won't accidentally snip any non-bang strands, then using a blow-dryer with a nozzle dry, your bangs pulling them forward and down with either a paddle brush or your fingers to get hair even straighter. Flatiron. Your bangs a few times now stand in front of the mirror and begin with a very small section, on whichever side feels most comfortable you're going to cut just one-eighth of an inch from each small section, as your bangs will spring up a bit when you style Them be sure to follow the curve of the banks that your stylist created if hair is shorter in the center and gradually gets longer at the sides, and most bangs are cut in this upside-down. U-Shape keep this arc, as you trim, cutting very small sections. One at a time will help you see this curve, as you move from one section to the next after your first full trim across put down your scissors and step back from the mirror and take a look if you're happy with the length pick your scissors back Up to texturize, so your bangs move freely hold your bangs straight up to the ceiling with your left hand, so the hair is between your middle and index fingers. Then, with your scissors in your right hand, point the blades straight down toward your scalp, now make cuts into the hair just at the tips. This won't take any length out of the hair. It just creates a few small layers. Do this across your bangs and you're finished you
