How to Trim Bangs

It'd be best if a hairstylist makes your bangs instead of you trying to trim them yourself. But if you can't go to the stylist for some reason, you can still trim them at home. You need a little patience, a lot of concentration, a mirror, and a sharp pair of hair-cutting scissors.

Start with a calm mind and do not rush the process.

1. On the crown of the head, hold a comb firm. Turn sideways and face the mirror, and you will be able to see where your head begins to round at the front. That's where your bangs should start.
2. Use a wide-tooth comb to separate your bangs. If you want your final trimmed length to be anywhere along the line of your fingers, then set your fingers at the point of the desired length. Keep in mind that it's preferable to keep the bangs longer than shorter because you can always cut them a bit more later.

1. Hold the bangs between your fingers and turn them upward.
2. Use the scissors at an angle on your hair. Then, gently trim across after placing the scissors like the arm of a clock pointing to 7 o'clock.

Your bangs are officially trimmed. Now take a mirror and look at the result. If you notice anything wrong, either let it grow out or go to a stylist.

It's important to trim bangs only when your hair is dry. Do not try trimming damp or wet hair. You can use a non-drying shampoo and conditioner and let your hair dry before trimming your bangs. It'd ensure that you have smooth, untangled hair to make the process easier.

If you have never tried bangs before, make sure a professional does it at least the first few times. You can try it yourself as and when you develop confidence.

Tips on Bangs for Round Faces

If you want to pull off bangs, you need to first understand the shape of your face. If you have more of an oval than a round face, you can get away with straight bangs in most cases. It's easy to pull off straight bangs because your face may already have some length to the bottom.

But if you have a very round face, side-swept bangs are your best friend. Not only do they look great, but they are also easier to maintain. Make sure you use high-quality hair cream or leave-in conditioner along with your regular haircare routine.

Bangs are a great way for people with roundish faces to accentuate their best facial features. If you haven't tried bangs yet, give them a shot and see how it goes for you.
