For the record, O’Connor suggests you always see a professional if you’re cutting bangs for the first time, k? Step 3 ✨ Practice your technique Better yet, go ahead and style your hair exactly how you usually wear it before you grab your shears-that way you have an accurate idea of how your bangs will hang if your hair is naturally wavy or curly. You heard her! Cutting your hair while it’s completely dry is the easiest way to set yourself up for success.
“When hair is wet, it stretches, so if you’re cutting your bangs when they’re wet, you’ll probably end up cutting them too short-and you won’t realize it until they’re dry," says Meri Kate O’Connor, colorist at Tabb & Sparks in Santa Monica. PSA: Always cut your bangs 100 percent dry. Oh, and while you’re at it, you’ll also want to order some alligator clips (to help you section off your bangs before you cut) and a fine-tooth comb (to help you get a super-precise part).
Japonesque Classic Barber Shears and Conair Cararra Marble Shears are both solid-and affordable-options. If you want an even, sharp cut (and why wouldn’t you?), hold off on your DIY project until you can order a good pair.
Nope, sry, no exceptions (even if your kitchen scissors are reaaaallly good). And that’s where I come in.įirst things first: You can’t cut your own bangs without a pair of shears. Because, yes, you can learn how to cut your own bangs-you just need the right tools, tons of patience, and an easy-to-follow tutorial. Like, do you actually want bangs or are you just really effing bored? If it’s the former, and you really, truly can’t wait to see a hairstylist, then you better pay attention. For real, though, if you’re considering cutting your own bangs and you have zero experience, you should probs take a second to think things over. Case in point: convincing yourself you need bangs after drinking all your quarantine wine and scrolling through TikTok for five hours. Listen, I’m all for experimenting with beauty trends in the name of ~isolation~, but some things are best left to the pros.
