Everyone's bangs seem grow faster than the rest of their hair, so I'll share some secrets to cutting a side bang.
Does anyone remember Nick Arojo from What Not To Wear? A few years back I took a class from him down in LA. What I'll be teaching you is similar to what he taught me. The only differences are the fact that he had us cut tiny sections at a time and we used a straight razor. The over all concept is the same though.
Step One: With dry hair, section out your bang area. You want your hair to be dry so you don't accidentally cut too much. Clip the rest of your hair out of the way.
Step Two: Starting at your eyebrow, cut down the side of your section with the scissors to create an angle. You might have to take another pass going upward to get a nice clean line.
Step Three: Do the same to the other side.
Now you should have a nice point with the shortest pieces being by your brow.
Step Four: Take thinning shears and cut into the section vertically several times to reduce the bulk of the hair. My biggest criticism of people cutting their own bangs is how it tends to look like a big random chunk of hair hanging in their face. This helps with that.
What are thinning shears? Take a look! They are also called texturizing shears.
Anyone attempting haircuts at home needs a pair of these. The "teeth" come in different sizes and spacing to cut a lot or very little hair. This pair has pretty moderate spacing and I use it the most.
Your done! Easy enough right?
I just did this with great success! Totally easy and it looks great! Thank you!!!
ReplyDeleteOf course it did! You are a very creative, talented woman!
ReplyDeleteThank you! This is the first time I have had bangs in YEARS and they turned out awesome:)
ReplyDeleteThe lady that cut by bangs last needed to read this tutorial!
ReplyDeleteIt's extremely kind of you to share this. The main reason I don't have bangs, (though stylists always want to cut them in), is because my hair grows so fast. I have had other "experts share how to cut them, and some worked out. But side bangs are the most natural (in my opinion), therefore the most desirable. Thanks!
ReplyDeleteI have been looking for a tutorial on doing it this way. So many people do it another way that makes no sense to me. Including my hairdresser. I'm going to be doing this.
ReplyDeleteI'm very surprised I have never seen this method of cutting side bangs and I have to say I'm nervous to do it but I am NOT going back to my own salon to have my bangs cut again. She does lovely color but my bangs have a personality problem and I come home already wishing they were grown out again. Thanks for sharing this and all the other great over 50 styles for women.
ReplyDeleteThis is very simple and perfect for me! :) My only question is how do you use the thinning shears??
ReplyDeleteIf you are inexperienced with thinning shears, just nip into your hair where you want the line cut. It will leave a very soft edge.
ReplyDeletecan anyone give more instruction on where to cut with the thinning shears?
ReplyDeleteAfter you get the length of your point to where you want it, just nip into the bang section vertically with the thinning shears (just like the picture) a few times to soften the section. It won't be precise and it shouldn't leave any obvious chunks missing. Really it's a matter of cutting just a little at a time until you like how it looks.
DeleteI hope that helps!
Do you cut the bangs into a V shape so that you can sweet them to either side?
ReplyDeleteLooks easy enough, and very nice. :)
The "V" shape does allow for it to be swept to either side, but it also allows for better flow on the side it's pushed off too. That little bit of breathing room keeps it from bunching up too much. I hope you like how it turns out! :)
DeleteWhat if we don't have thinning shears... will it still work if I use the regular shears?
ReplyDeleteThanks for sharing this beautiful piece of information. For good haircut you need to have best quality and professional hair cutting shears. Professional hair cutting shears help a lot in every way.
ReplyDeleteThanks for sharing this, I usually go to supercuts (chain hair place), but I'm on disability and can't afford much, nevermind even regular haircuts, and my bangs are super long right now (like bottom of my ears) and I've so wanted to cut them, but you're right you end up with that blunt effect, which is why I'm so glad you introduced the thinning shears (the hairstylist would use a razor, but I'm not touching that lol), so I'm going to sally beauty after breakfast and give this a try. Thanks again!
ReplyDeleteIf you are in the process of growing out your bangs could you cut the “v” so its a bit wider with not so much of a drastic point and still get some of the same effect or would it make more sense to grow the bangs and then have a longer “v”? I hope this makes sense!
