I did a video, I think, how a year ago on this, but you know things change and in this video I'm going to take two layers. I did the bottom layer and then I did the top layer. I just felt like it gave a sharper cut and a lot of people might be thinking. Well, how can you see where you've cut you kind of can and you just even it out and that way, you're not just taking scissors to a whole chunk of hair you're kind of giving it that detailed kind of cut? So I also have my little mini Flatiron and that's essential because I have wave in my hair, especially in the front, so I make sure that it's really flat as flat as possible. Before I start trimming, I also section off my sides and for most people the traditional Betty bang overlaps over top. I don't like mine like that, so I pin back my sides. I don't like them cutting over just because of my hairline, but I do like it to be somewhat sectioned and even on the top. So I'm just sectioning it now, I'm grabbing all the small pieces and I'm just gon na comb that out and then I'm gon na take the small, tiny flat iron it's by Conair. It'S like 16 bucks and I'm just gon na separate two layers, I'm just using a double metal clip just to help separate my hair. You can get those at any Sally store. This is actually a blowout clip that I got in a pack from them. That was actually really good, because that clip has grips on the on the inside and I got it in a hairbrush blow out set for five bucks that they were selling off during Christmas. It was actually a great deal anyway, so I'm just gon na sprint or I'm spray very lightly, with a little water to get it um a little bit damp and it's not so wet that I can't take my little mini Flatiron and it's not gon na burn. It it's just really light. I just want to comb out any kind of frizz or kink, and I'm gon na basically cut one layer, I'm gon na trim it and I'm just carefully sectioning it off making sure I don't kind of cut too far. So I'm just using a rat tail comb as you see in the picture, but I've moved on and I cut the first layer and then now I'm I cut the top layer and I'm going in and just cleaning off the extra hair that gets on my face With a little makeup brush, that's a good little tip, so, as I can see, I did the first layer and then I put a layer down combed it out. Now I'm gon na go in and trim that so I just kind of press it down very carefully and I go a little higher at the sides and longer in the middle. So I have a middle length point that I always have and I go by that and I don't really worry. If I'm super super perfect, I just want the illusion that it's very clean-cut and perfect. Otherwise, you may drive yourself nuts, and you may also cut way too much. Hair off hair also has body and movement and mine has a natural wave, so I'm very careful not to over cut and very carefully use that little mini iron, and I'm going in with my makeup brush just cleaning off that hair because it can get in your Eyes and be super annoying and I just kept combing down with my rat tail comb and trimming and making sure it's flat as possible and the scissors. I got those from Sally's as well and they are traditional professional haircutting scissors and I don't recommend using anything else. But haircutting scissors, because you can really do some bad cuts in your hair, so you can see how I'm leveling it and it's getting straighter and straighter and I'm just getting also rid of any kind of loose hair. And I'm just gon na make sure I grab all those loose ends. I'M going to press down one more time and just trim, and I just keep gently tilting up and making sure I keep the longest point in the middle and that it's even on both sides and you just kind of have to guesstimate and really just look at It and measure you can see by where it lands on your face and I'm just matching my bottom layer to my top layer and that gives a nice crisp clean cut. I find and you're not cutting off chunks of hair and then I always look at it. The next day too, because sometimes you know things change and I make sure I blow it out and it's all the hair is gone and you can see it's it's working. So if you're not sure how to cut your buddy bangs. This is just one of many ways, and this is how I do it and it works for me and once again I just constantly try to get that tiny little hairs out. Sometimes I use a blow dryer, and sometimes I just use little makeup brushes. It just depends on what I'm doing, because I'm sitting in front of the makeup table. I just find this easier right now, alright and now I'm taking out the clips, so you can see it. In contrast, with the longer hair pieces, it looks nice and clean there. You go and I here's the final picture. I just want to show you what it looks like, and this is with hair and makeup done. This is I've gone in and I did a wave on the the middle of my hair hang on. It'S just coming right. Now I decided to do this little clip to show you the final look. I love this new wave that I've posed the video for this. I did a video on this, but you can see how the bangs look nice and clean and then the wave just kind of contrasted. So this is how I do it. I hope you like thanks so much for joining me and don't forget to like share us and see you next time. Bye, bye,
