How to cut straight bangs
- Divide the hair in half and separate a central triangle in the fringe region whose base goes to the final line of your eyebrow.
- Pin the remaining hair and lightly dampen just the strand that will turn into your bangs.
- Divide into three parts and start cutting through the middle, in line with the eyes, as after drying the bangs will rise. This cut will be your guide for the rest of the fringe.
- To make the cut very straight, use your fingers to hold the strands at the height you want and make the cut below that line.
- Then, go picking small pieces from the sides and cut at the same height as the first one, still with the help of your fingers to make a straight line.
- Dry your bangs and see if the height is comfortable so it doesn’t interfere with your vision. Ideally, it should be at the height of the eyebrows.
- If necessary, repeat the process to adjust the height or correct a tip.
how to cut the fringe
- Part the hair in half and separate a central triangle in the fringe region whose base goes to the top line of your eyebrow.
- Pin the remaining hair and lightly dampen just the part that will turn your bangs.
- Then, hold the strands with your fingers in a horizontal position in line with your mouth.
- To avoid mistakes, start cutting at the height below the lips.
- Make a straight cut.
- See how it looks and if you want the shorter bangs, go up a little more to above the lips.
- With the scissors vertically shred the ends to make the fit lighter.
How to cut the side bangs
- Divide the hair in half and separate a central triangle in the fringe region whose base goes to the final line of your eyebrow.
- Pin the remaining hair and lightly dampen just the strand that will turn into your bangs.
- Pull this lock to the opposite side where you usually throw the bangs and comb your hair well.
- Make a straight cut one finger below where you want the bangs to go.
- When you throw it the other way, it will be shorter on the inside and longer on the outside.
How to cut the oval fringe
- Part the hair in half and just separate a central triangle in the fringe region whose base goes to the final line of your eyebrow.
- Pin the remaining hair and lightly dampen just that part that will turn your bangs.
- Wrap this lock of hair in two tight loops that are glued to the top of your head.
- Hold the base of the lock at eye level and make a straight cut.
- When you release your hair, your fringe will be oval in shape, with a shorter center and long ends in a rounded shape.
How to cut curly bangs
- For this cut, it is important not to get your hair wet. Keep them dry to get a real sense of bangs height.
- Divide the hair in half and separate the front line of the face that will turn into the fringe. The ideal is to draw a line a little higher in the center of the face and a little thinner on the sides.
- Secure the remaining hair.
- Set the height at which you want the bangs and place the scissors two fingers below that, as after cutting it tends to shrink even more.
- Cut the fringe without pulling the lock of hair with your fingers to get a better sense of the final height of the fringe.
- Pass a finisher and see if the result was at the expected height. If necessary, repeat the process, cutting a little more.
How to cut short bangs (baby bangs style)
- Part the hair in half and separate a central triangle in the fringe region whose base goes to the final line of your eyebrow.
- Pin the remaining hair and lightly dampen just the strand that will turn into your bangs.
- Divide this lock into 3 parts and place the scissors just one finger above the eyebrow. Remember that it will shrink and rise when it is dry. So it’s better to start with less and then get it right than to cut too much early on and then regret it.
- With your fingers, hold the center strand in a horizontal line. Make a straight cut in the middle. It will be your guide for the remaining length of fringe.
- Then, go picking small pieces from the sides and cut at the same height as the first one.
- Dry your bangs and see if it’s the height you’d like.
- If you want to unravel, position the scissors vertically and make small cuts only on the tips of the fringe.
How to cut frayed bangs
- Choose any of the bangs suggested above.
- Once you have finished cutting, position the scissors vertically from the bottom to the top.
- Separate your bangs into three equal parts. Hold the first part between your fingers so that only the tips are exposed.
- Make small cuts just at the ends of the fringes to make the length uneven. And ready! You will have frayed bangs.
- Remember that the fraying can be more accentuated when it is a bangs or a side bangs. But if the bangs are the length at eye level, you should only fray the ends, fraying at most one centimeter of bangs.
