How to cut straight bangs yourself
Before you cut the straight bangs yourself, you need to decide on the density and length.
- Divide your hair into a triangle, measure from the center of the top of your head to the edge of your eyebrows. For thicker bangs, make a triangle further from the middle of the top of the head. For thinner bangs, make a triangle closer to the center of the front of the head.
- Tie the rest of your hair into a ponytail or clip it up.so you don't accidentally cut them off.
- Determine the length and angle of the bangs. Straight bangs come in many styles, so you need to choose the one you want before cutting it.
Some girls like the bangs to go straight across the forehead above the brows for a more defined look, others like the longer bangs that blend seamlessly into the rest of the hair.
Start cutting
Take the hair you have collected and place it between your index and middle fingers. Draw a straight line that will line up with the tip of the nose. The bangs should not be too long, otherwise it will close your eyes. Trim the hair below your fingers, make sure you only cut the hair between your fingers.
- You can use tape to make a straight cut. Wrap the ribbon along your hair and cut your hair to the desired length. This is a great way to make a smooth and straight line. To make the line even, you need to cut the hair very precisely, using sharp scissors, otherwise you may get a crooked line.
- Continue trimming the bangs until they are the desired length. If your bangs are wet, brush them gently to keep your hair from getting tangled. Cut slightly longer than your desired length, as they dry they will shrink in size. Experts recommend cutting dry hair.
Be sure to check the length before you finish. Look in the mirror, make sure the strands are even.

After you have trimmed the bangs, you can soften its edges a little, for this you will need thinning scissors. Comb the bangs and make small cuts at the ends, making sure the scissors are parallel to the strands in your hair.

Straight bangs usually require more attention and may need to be straightened and styled. If you blow dry your hair, then take a round brush and pull the bangs from the bottom up, from the roots to the ceiling. Then run the round brush once or twice under the bangs, from root to tip, in a curved motion to create volume. You can also use an iron.
If your hair is naturally curly or wavy, dry your bangs with a flat brush. Bring the brush to your forehead and sweep from the roots to the ends. This will avoid volume expansion.

To make an elongated oblique bangs, you need to divide the hair into a device. It can be in the middle or on the side. If the bangs are elongated, then it is better to make a side parting.
- Comb your hair with a fine-toothed combuntil they are smooth and even. For side bangs, you will need to create a side parting. Part your hair in the direction it will naturally fall.
- Take a strand which is a potential bang. Tie the rest of your hair into a ponytail. The curls, sandwiched between the fingers, should resemble a triangle.
- Pinch between index and middle fingers the center strand at the roots and run your fingers to the ends of the hair. Hold them at the same angle you want your bangs to be. When you reach your desired length, cut off the excess with scissors.
To get a torn oblique bangs, you need to make uneven ends. Hold the scissors perpendicular to your fingers, and cut your hair every few millimeters. It will be much easier to do thinning with scissors.
- Once you've worked through the center strand, divide it into sections, like two or three, then align the ends of each strand separately.
- Pinch the strand between your fingers, and repeat what is described above.
- Dry the bangs with a round comb and hair dryer.
Bangs styling
Use a hair dryer and a round brush, combing the bangs from the roots to the back of the head. Don't blow-dry your bangs by combing them straight down as this will add volume. Try blow-drying the strands in the opposite direction of her natural fall so that she lays flat and curls slightly at the bottom.
