I learned a few new tips and tricks when I was at Image Expo Houston. They were all about hair there!
My scissors were from Sally's, I spent about $20.00 of each pair. They should be more expensive because you want the scissors to cut with as little friction as possible. A clean cut gives you less split ends!
FAQ's:
Is that your real hair? Yes they are real. I come from a long line of people who have really thick hair. Lucky me, but I also get so tired of it!
What color is your hair? Here is the video on how I dye my hair:http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=dWmCSMW... here is how I maintain the color: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=tgSnTrw...
What color contacts are those? Bambi Mimi Series by Tsubasa in Grey.
How long did it take to grow your hair out? Took me about 2 1/2 years
How long is your hair? About 80cm or 32 inches....

Hi guys so it's time to trim my hair and I had a moment of weakness. I decided to just cut my bangs, but before we start let me just say that I am NOT a hairdresser and I might not know what the heck I'm talking about, but this is how I do it and hopefully it inspires you guys. So the first thing is, I pull the front section of my hair to the front and I went to comb with water and I just comb through now. You can use a little spray bottle, but I hate water hitting my face, so I'm just doing it this way. Next you'll want to use the end of a rat tail comb to carve out a triangle on your head. Now, if you want a more dolly look at recommend, starting really high up on the top of your crown, but it also depends on how much hair you are willing to sacrifice for bangs as well. How wide the triangle should be depends on your eyebrows. I like to hold my comb at the ends of my eyebrows, and then I angle it towards the point at the top of my triangle. So that's just kind of like that invisible line that I use to guide myself now. Once I have my hair all carved out, I use a clip to clip the rest of my hair back now, I'm going to use the same guide on the other side of my head as well, okay, so here's kind of like the weird part, if you want To sweep your hair to the left side, what you do is you cut it when it's on the right side? Now, if you're sweeping your hair to the right side, you'll want to cut it while it's on the left side by the way you guys, I have like this baby hair problem. I have no idea why I have so many of them, but let me tell you: those suckers are so hard to dye red alrighty so, like I mentioned before, I'm souping my hair to the left. So I'm going to hold it to the right side. While I'm cutting the next guide is the hollow of your cheeks, it's best to cut right there, because you got to remember that your hair will look shorter when it's dried. So using your cheers, go ahead and cut a straight line and your finger is going to be your guide for this. So it looks a little bit funky right now, but when you swoop it over to the side that it was intended for you'll notice that your hair is cut at an angle. And this enables you to swoop your hair over without too much bulk. Also by using the hollow of your cheeks as a guide, your bangs will end up there, so it doesn't look too choppy when it blends in with the rest of your hair. So then, the last thing I like to do is section my bangs up, leaving the bottom portion and clipping up the top section, I'm using some thinning shears to feather out the bottom of the bangs. Now you can use a razor here, but I'm avoiding them because well I didn't like the damage. Now I keep letting down smaller sections and feathering accordingly making sure that I check the shape of my bangs. You don't want to alter the angle, but you just want it to not look so choppy at the bottom now. This is only for me, but I have a ton of hair, and that includes bangs, so I have to go in and thin them out now. If you have thin bangs, you can definitely skip this step. So that's pretty much how I maintenance my bangs yeah I gave in to them and I decided to cut them but anyways. I will show you guys how I cut my layers next week. So good luck to all of you who are going to try this and remember, don't cut off too much by

Christa M: Thank you so much for this tutorial, these are the only kind of bangs I like to have if I even have them. Its Corona Quarantine 2020 and I cut my own hair for the first time since I was 5yrs old. With no access to a salon, suddenly my hair was feeling really heavy haha. I also cut my toddlers hair. I can't cut his and not be brave enough to cut mine. I am proud to say it turned out great, it doesn't look blunt or choppy at all!! I cut off 12 inches...my hair is really long.

Judy c: You did it exactly right, I love your tutorials! You should try just using your cutting shears to take the bulk out by just sliding them half opened thru your hair where you see too much weight that usually gives you more control than thinning shears ^_^

I took your advice on taking multi-vitamins and my bangs grew to the original length before I knew it. so I need to cut my bangs every 2-3 weeks. This is a great ~ More bangs cutting tips!!! I have been really bad with cutting my bangs with a cheapo razor comb I got in a Japanese 1.50 store because I got crazy with it.
