How To Cut Your Bangs At Home // Trimming My Fringe Bangs Tutorial - How To Cut Your Own Hair

Hey guys welcome back to my channel today, I'm gon na be showing you how I cut and maintain my bangs I've gotten at this question a bunch lately just asking if I cut them myself or if I go get them done and I have been cutting my Bangs for over a year now actually got my bangs cut first by my girl, Sarah Eisner in Nashville. She does the rest of my hair. She does all the coloring, and I got my bangs cut November of 2018, so I've had them a little bit over a year and I still love them honestly when I got them cut in the beginning. I was like I'm just gon na, do it and if it looks bad I'll, just grow them out. So I really only thought I was gon na keep my bangs for a couple of months, like I just thought I was gon na cut them and then just start growing them out again, because I was going through a crisis. I think, and I need some change in my life, but that's why we all get haircuts, but I have fallen in love with bangs and that hairstyle and I honestly can't see myself really going back to not having them. I'Ve had them for over a year now, and I still love them, but one of the things that comes with having bangs is that you have to keep them cut because at least my hair grows super fast. So I have to cut them. Probably every two and a half to three weeks, and that was just a lot to go to my hair girl, for it would be kind of annoying to have to drive like 20 minutes into town to get them cut for literally 30 seconds and then like drive Back home, so I've started cutting my own and I actually like the way that I cut them when I first got them cut. I had them go straight across because I thought I wanted, like kind of a blunt cut for bangs and looking back it's my own fault, that my bangs look like that. It'S not even my girl, Sara she's, like amazing and, like she asked me if I wanted. The kind of like side sweep bangs or if I wanted, like the blunt straight across bangs, and when I first got them, I was like just cut them straight across. I want them to be like blunt cut, and I regret that you know. Sometimes you just have hairstyles that you look back on and you're like. Why did I do that? So now I feel, like my bangs, are in a pretty good place to where they're a little bit more messy they're a little bit more like chill, and they blend a lot better into my hair. And so I thought I would show you guys how I cut them right now, there's definitely starting to get to that place where they get in my eyes, and so I like to keep them right above my eyes, so I kind of just screw them out. So I could do this video, but I honestly probably would have cut these like a week ago, but I wanted to film this, so I let them grow a little bit longer. But if you are looking to get bangs and you don't have bangs, I would highly suggest just paying a professional to cut them. The first time because then like maintaining, is so much easier, but I don't think I would ever cut my bangs from scratch like. That. Sounds like a horrible idea and those who have done it and have succeeded, and it looks good like you're so fortunate, because I just feel like if I had tried to cut my own bangs. I would just hide it for months until they grew out. You don't have bangs you're looking at bangs, just go, see someone for the first time and honestly, what I would do is I would go back to your hair girl or whoever you go to and have them trim them, maybe like twice so that you can watch What they're doing and then you can feel comfortable cutting them cuz, if your little just like I don't know I just like it, can get not good. Basically, I am right up against a mirror. When I cut my bangs, I cut them in the bathroom and I'm like face to mirror, as close as I can get. This is definitely very different for me to like be kind of far from a mirror and also filming this. So I really hope this turns out well because you can't undo a haircut, so all you need is a hair tie. You'Re gon na want a little comb and some scissors I highly suggest getting actual like haircutting scissors, not just like a pair of kitchen scissors, because you can get more like precise, with these they're also super sharp, so you're not dealing with like dull scissors, okay anyway, When I cut my bangs, I like to pull literally all of my hair back, because you just want your bangs kind of sticking out, and this is why I suggest getting your bank's cut professionally the first time because they are gon na. Do this part where they decide where your bangs start and where, like the rest of your hair blends, they will take care of that. This part will be like very defined. If you have your bangs cut already, but if you don't, then basically you just want to make kind of like a little V. I guess see how it like starts higher up here and then kind of these down. I mean sure kind of so it's kind of a B like this, and you can take your cone to and make sure that it's like a pretty like straight, be like that. We'Re gon na just tie this back. Okay. So now we're just dealing with the bangs and, like I said, I, like mine, to be kind of side, swept a little bit more like wispy feeling versus just straight across. So what I like to do, though, is kind of get the hair where you want it. So this is kind of gon na be where it's gon na fall and to if you need bobby pins, you can always pin this stuff back and like narrow. In on this section, I don't have bobby pins so what's happening right now. I like to take my little comb, can get everything length where you want it to lay once it's done. I also highly suggest cutting these dry. I have cut them wet before it. Just doesn't go well because your hair, when it dries, will naturally like shorten a little bit and I've done that, and then I realized that my bangs were like above my eyebrows. It was not good, so I highly suggest just have them placed exactly how you want them to be. I always start in the middle, because that's what we're going off of so this little part right here, I'm so nervous to do this on camera. Okay. So this little part right here I like to just take this and I actually start cutting it straight across so we're just gon na straight across okay, now see how that's really straight, and I have hair all over my face with it - see how what I cut Is like straight across what we want to do it's after you cut it straight, because you want to make sure that, like what you're cutting is, even but after you cut it straight you're, going to take your scissors this way and you're just gon na start cutting In different parts to make it a little bit like uneven, so see how I'm just going vertical with the scissors. Now that way, your cuts literally aren't just like straight across. You have some different length pieces and it looks a little bit more like wispy. So now the middle part is cut. This feels good. I like this length. Okay, so now we're gon na do these side parts, because we want these to blend into what we just cut and we want it to look very natural, not natural. We want it to look very like not cut at home. I don't know, I am NOT a hair cutter. This is what I do. I don't have to usually explain it um. Okay, this is hilarious. So then I like to go on each side, so our middle part is done and now see how this parts like super long compared to that I'm gon na comb it out like this and I'm gon na cut it following the hair like following that line. This is why I say: get your hair cut by a professional in the beginning, because, if you don't, you won't have that line, and it will be extremely difficult to know how to make that naturally do that you can't tell. But I've cut off a lot of hair actually and we're just gon na again place it where you want it to lay and just follow the line in this part like that, then we're gon na do the same thing: we're going vertical and we're gon na just Kind of go in and make it a little bit less polished. Cuz. That thing I like about these like window-curtain bangs, is that they are a little bit more messy and free-flowing than the straight-across looks about right. You can definitely just I kind of how you want it to go. Also don't be hard on yourself, the very first day that you cut it like give it a week, because, honestly, the first day you get something cut. It feels so weird because you're used to like split ends and stuff, and it's gon na feel really weird that it's freshly cut. So I just like to follow this line up. That makes sense, and I just use my comb to pull it out and I just follow the natural line. Okay, so then, when it go besides, it's like my explanation is so bad, I'm so sorry, but hopefully you can see what I'm doing now we're going to do this side to even it out, and this hair right here go back a little bit. So my hair is actually thicker on my right side than it is on my left, and so that makes cutting bangs, sometimes kind of tricky. And again, that's why I say: go get someone to cut them the first time because they're gon na know, if you have like a cowlick or like how to cut your bangs with that or if your hair stick on one side to the other. They'Ll just know how to do that. So this part again, I'm just gon na pull it out with the comb like this and we're going to just cut along this line. Basically, just tilting my head to the side and just free-forming li cut like this and go slow because you can always cut off more, but you cut off too much game over. I also typically do this at night before I go to bed and not like before. I put makeup on or when I have makeup on, because you just have little hair stuck to you, okay, so this side I'm going to go in and kind of thin it out with that vertical scissor trick that I showed y'all just try to make it look A little bit less polished, it already feels a lot thinner. Actually, I took out a lot of hair okay, so this is what it looks like now and, as you can see, I shortened it in the front. I, like it, shorter, because if it gets long or too long, it starts to get caught on my eyebrow and then I have like gaping holes in my bangs and I would just say the more often you cut them the better, because then you're not doing as Much cutting necessary for length, you're, literally just maintaining tiny tiny amounts. So, honestly, I cut mine like every two weeks, just trimming on up doing the vertical thing I would definitely say. Cutting vertical, though, is my biggest tip to making them look like you didn't just cut your bangs like it makes it look blended and just looks better. I'M sure people are gon na comment be like you're doing that wrong, but this is how I do it and everyone's always like. I love your bangs, so I'm doing something right. So these are my bangs cut and I took a lot of hair out. Actually, I wish you guys could see how much hair is on the floor, because I really thin doubt this front part and I did take a good amount of length off of the front. So that's pretty much how I cut them and I know that's not like a super technical tutorial, but if you just follow the bangs that you already have and just do small cuts, you will be just fine. I promise, but I hope you guys enjoyed this video and I hope that kind of cleared up how I trim and maintain my things. It saves me a lot of money and time from having to go to my hair girl and have her do them. So that's how I cut them and maintain them.
