Cutting My Own Curtain Bangs With The Help Of Brad Mondo

Hey guys, it's your girl tina here. Welcome back to a new episode of tina, tries it in today's episode. I will be attempting to cut my own curtain bangs. Okay. Now, if you guys watch my previous bang video, i did cut my own bangs. More of like a korean bang style and that turned out pretty well, so i felt pretty confident about cutting my own curtain bangs and after searching on youtube. I did find a really good tutorial from brad mondo, who uploaded a hairdresser's guide to cutting your own curtain. Bangs, so that's the tutorial i'm going to follow today. I want to cut like a bang, that's a little bit thicker and then something that can kind of like frame my face because, as you guys can see, i'm quite boring at the moment. This is just this. Is it this is my hair, so, according to brad's guide, i need some hair cutting scissors, not kitchen scissors. He specifically said no kitchen scissors, something that actually cuts your hair, not kitchen scissors, and then i need some clips to clip my hair back home. I only have like a wide tooth comb. I hope that's. Okay, i'm gon na need to wet my hair, so i need like a bottle of water or you know you can just go wet your hair in the bathroom and then like a hair dryer and a round brush. So let's get started so step. One is gon na be to have wet hair you're gon na want that to not be dry, so i'm gon na just dampen up this front section with some water. Oh, my god, i should have like done my makeup on okay, so step one wet the hair dampen it because that's going to weigh it down and kind of like straighten everything, especially if you have frizzy hair. I don't know how much it is to wet. Maybe more, do you think more? I don't know she's gon na wet the whole front section. Keep watching our hair in front of our face. Just like this. The next step is to do a middle part. Everybody loves a good middle part these days. We all know those are also very trendy. Apparently, if you do a side part you're ugly, i mean i do enjoy a good middle part. I do, but you know sometimes side parts can look fun and cute we're part in the middle. I hope i haven't lost. You quite yet we're gon na take the bangs back about two or three inches up to you, depending on how thick you want them and, depending on how thin your hair is. Naturally, i'm gon na go about two inches back and i'm going to take these down to about the end of her eyebrow. Okay. So for this i don't know if i'm gon na go that thick like he said like to the ends of the eye, i cannot see any actual mirror. Okay. So now i need to figure out how thick i want my bangs. He suggested like at the end of the brow, so let's just see what that looks like, but i think i need to grab more. I'M gon na aim for like a medium ish thickness. Why does this side look so thick compared to this side? Okay, i'm not gon na go as far as the end of my brow, i'm gon na go like the like the middle of my brow, depending on your face shape. That might be the middle of your eyebrow, maybe the end of your eyebrow. If i only went to the middle of her eyebrow it'd be a very thin bang. Okay, that's fine! If you want a very thin one go for it, so you should have this little triangle section right here and we're gon na clip the rest of the hair out of the way just like that, all right or you can just take off all the hair into A ponytail, that's also fine, i think that's the ring finger and the thumb we are going to close. You cut what nicely okay he's holding his scissors like this. What i don't feel comfortable cutting like this, i feel like i can't control anything so we're gon na hold our scissors like this. So the third finger right here, i think that's the ring finger and the thumb we are gon na comb. This section - oh, i usually just hold it like like this - is my middle. We are actually gon na. Take this entire section in one now. Normally i wouldn't do that, but we're trying to make this easy for you guys. Okay, then you're gon na decide what length you want to cut. Normally i like to go right under the cheekbones for the curtain. Bangs, that's usually a good height to start with. You can always go shorter. You can't go longer all right, so i'm going to start off a little bit longer than that. Maybe right at the nose and i am going to cut across. I just made that first little snippy snip i'm gon na. Let that go! I'M gon na re-comb it and i am going to cut another okay, so i need to figure out how how short i want my bangs. I think i wanna like a little bit longer because, like he said you can go shorter, you can't go longer. So i think i'm going to maybe just where my my top lip is we're gon na snip. This is the thickest bang. I'Ve ever cut. Okay, first snip we're on a roll. Now it just feels so weird cutting with my like cutting holding the scissors like this. Oh, my god, that's a lot of length. I just cut off shoot alfred, warned me not to come home with an abomination, so i'm gon na try my best to cut something decent for our relationship's sake. Oh my gosh, all that hair well. This is not very straight, so let me just fix this. The problem is like. I need like a mirror. That'S just the front on you know what i mean, because i'm looking down at the moment and it's cramping my style. It just went into my eye how my own hair attacked me wet it. Does that even look straight, i'm not gon na lie. I'M kind of like half regretting this. This is this is a bit chunky. Okay, let's keep going. Let'S keep going, i feel like. I have a hair in my eye. Like i kid you not one of my hairs. Just like stabbed me in my eyeball. It was like the universe telling me to stop. Oh yeah, i see it. Oh i got it. Damn. Hair was in my eye and i'm gon na take a strand from each end and just make sure that they are the same exact length on both sides. They look great and if they weren't great, we would just do a little snip snip snip, okay. So i'm just gon na check my work to see if it's like, even oh, my god kind of tissue, my nose is leaking. My body is just rejecting this. It is rejecting these curtain bangs, like everything, it's it's trying to pull all the tricks to stop me, but i'm unstoppable. Okay, i want a mission. I need to make sure this is even okay. Let'S just say it is even now you're doing a great job. I can see you following along, and i am so damn proud of you. You did it. You did your first snip, it's gon na be a home run. Okay for both of us, it's gon na look beautiful all right. So now we have our bang. Oh and add okay, at least it gives me time so we're gon na part. The hair then we're gon na over direct the hair across the other side, opposite of where the part is we're also going to make sure our fingers are parallel to the section up here so now, you're getting this moment, let me show you that again pick up The hair i comb it parallel to the parting, and then i hold my fingers parallel to the parting, so you're gon na get something like that. He splits the hair back into the two sections, and now he combs this section across like this, and i'm supposed to hold it like like that in between my fingers. It goes from short to long, and now all we have to do is cut off those longer pieces. Let'S do this, so i'm gon na hold it across and then chop. How do i feel more comfortable kind of going like this chops? Oh, that is looking choppy hello. Okay, do you guys see how this is just like straight across and then i just like kind of lay it look at that? How am i gon na get it the same on the other side? That'S the question, as you can tell it's a lot of pressure, this side, i'm quite happy with: let's just try to replicate it on this side, so again kind of brushing it over or combing it over. I cannot hold my scissors like this, so bad i tried. Did it work? Okay, i mean this side is a little bit shorter than this side. I'M gon na fix that we're gon na get a beautiful angle to the fringe. Gosh, it's beautiful mine does not look that beautiful and then the two end pieces and make sure they are the same length. Okay, so i just got to double check my work again. Grab the two end pieces bring them together. I'M just gon na snip a little bit. I guess it looks kind of even i'm kind of freestyling this bit. Brad didn't tell me to do this part, so i'm just just following my instincts, so i'm kind of getting like this like triangle in the middle, and i think that's what we want now that we have that part done the biggest most dramatic part of all. I am now gon na just blow dry, her hair, for you get it all nice and cute and then we're gon na go in and detail the bangs okay. So i'm just going to style the rest of my hair and then we're going to blow dry. This and try to make it look more. Like cotton, bangs, i'm using my new dyson supersonic. I just got this baby and yes, i know i'm a little bit late to the game, but hey better late than never guys. I hate drying my hair. It takes really long and my arms get tired, but with my dyson it literally cuts the drying time in half plus the hair. Dryer itself is much lighter than my old clunky one. So here i'm just using the wide styling concentrated nozzle to smooth out my hair and create a soft curl at the ends, because i'm trying to be fancy so now with this fringe part, it kind of looks thick, but we'll just see how it looks. Once i blow dry, i'm just going to use my round brush and then just like blow dry it and kind of just twist and turn my brush as i dry. But first i just need to make sure it's all going straight because i did have a center part. So let's just blow dry it downwards. First, okay! So now i'm gon na go in with my round brush and i'm just doing this on medium heat and a medium air pressure. Okay, so that is what it's looking like and then now we're going to just kind of like flip. It flip it and kind of separate this part just where you're going, i just need to powder properly. Okay, it's just very choppy huh. I think i do need to like blend it in with these side bits. What do you guys think like so far? It'S looking good, i think you definitely need to dry your hair with a round brush, because if i left it straight or to air dry, it just wouldn't look as nice. Oh look at that on the side. That looks really good. Okay, i think i just need to blend it in with like the sides now, so it's not so like steppy like choppy. This is like wall one length, i'm freestyling this, because i remember i did this with the other bang. I'M just go. I'M gon na just snip snip snip snip sleep. Oh my god, that's a lot of hair and same for the other side. Ah, this side's always the harder side, because you kind of like go the other way right now, two not gon na lie. I couldn't really see what i was doing just then, but i think it looks okay. This is looking a little chunky here, so i'm just going to what do you call it? I'M just going to hold my scissors like this and then just trim a little bit just to make them a little bit thinner. It'S looking a little bit a bit too heavy just slightly same for this side. Oh my god! That'S a lot of hair! I think i'm gon na go again and just like wet and then just dry it again. So then it has like the side bits. It definitely looks way way better when i blow dry it. It gives me that a little bit of volume up here and then like from the side it kind of just like frames, my face okay. So this is what it looks like. What do you guys think it's definitely a bigger commitment than my previous bangs, my previous bangs? I can kind of like hide it, because it wasn't that thick, but with this this is like. I need a stylus daily to make it look good and i'm not gon na lie it's a little bit annoying already because it's like in my face and i've got lashes on, and so when the when the bangs sort of like hit my lashes, it is a Little bit annoying, but i do like the look you know i do like the look. It'S just gon na get a little bit of like getting used to and i'm so glad i didn't go any shorter than this. So if you guys are going to follow brad's tutorial, make sure you're happy with the length first, because his one is like a little bit short. It kind of hits like just where the eye line is and yeah, because i made mine a little bit longer. It sits probably where the like my cheekbones are. I actually think it looks really good when i tie my hair up because it frames my face. I feel like it looks better when i shag it up, maybe too shaky, but you know honey like shaggy curtain bang. I can't stop playing with it. I don't know. Do i like it, i'm like one moment i like it and then the next minute, when it like changes position, i don't like it so, okay, i'm not gon na touch it anymore. This has a mind of its own. That'S the thing! Okay, let's just okay! Worse comes to us. If i'm not feeling bangs, i guess i can kind of like hide it. Ish! Oh! No! Oh! No. What did i do? What did i do? I can't handle myself right now. I can't okay guys. That was like 10 minutes of me, going through an emotional roller coaster, and i've decided that it's okay there's moments where i love it and then there's moments where i kind of regret even cutting it. But good news, it's gon na grow out. Hair grows, it's not the end of the world. I just have to accept that it has a mind of its own anyways. Overall, the tutorial was actually really easy to follow, though i just don't know if i can pull this off. I think one thing that kind of bothers me is just that: it's just like a lot chunkier than like any bang that i've had before. So it's really just me: i need to get used to it, okay, guys that is it for this episode of tina treiser. Let me know your thoughts below yay to the bangs or nay, to the bangs.
