If you are nervous about rocking a short bang, curtain bangs are a good way to try them out.The long hair is easy to style and flatters all face shapes.The curtain frame bangs are longer than other bang styles.They are simple to cut on your own.A couple of tools and a bit of confidence are all you need.You will love your new hair in no time.
Step 1: No matter how sharp your kitchen scissors are, this isn't a job for them.
Hair shears are used by hairstylists for a reason.The use of shears will make your cut look cleaner and more professional.You can borrow shears from a friend or buy your own set.At a salon supply store, you can find hair trimming shears.Purchase a flat, fine-toothed comb if you don't already have one.
Step 2: You should have an image of your goal bangs in front of you.
As you cut and shape your bangs, a pic can give you inspiration.It can serve as a reminder to not cut your hair too short.You can find a picture of the bangs through a magazine or online.Don't be afraid to take a few pictures for inspiration.
Step 3: When hair is dry, curtain bangs are more convenient to cut.
Even though you usually cut hair when it's wet, this dry cut will allow you to get your angles more precise and also get the length that you want.Give your hair a quick blowdry if it's wet or damp.You won't be able to see your hair growth pattern when it's wet.It will fall when it's dry.
Step 4: To find the top of your head, cut your hair in the center.
You can use a flat comb to draw something down the middle of your head.This will help you keep your hair out of your face.To find the top of your head, use the same comb.Start by holding your comb to the top of your forehead, and then work your way back to your head until you hit the spot where the comb lies flat.The place where you start to section out your bangs is the center of your head.Pull out a triangle of hair.You can use the arch of your eyebrows as a guide.A sharp part from the top of your head to your right brow should be parted on the diagonal.If you want to hit the other side with the same method, secure that section of hair with a small clip.You have the section of hair that you want to cut.Take the entire section and put it in front of your face.
Step 5: You should start cutting longer than you think you want.
This part is crucial.Run the comb through your hair.Put your first two fingers under the comb when you get to the chin.This is where you will start cutting.The first cuts should be across the entire section.The scissors are parallel to your chin.You can create your chin-length bangs by cutting under your fingers.Don't shorten yourself right now.If you want to, you can always cut more later.One of the most common mistakes when cutting your own hair is shortening it.If you want to avoid this, make your first cuts longer.You can always shorten them, but you won't be able to grow them back.
Step 6: The arch of your eyebrows can be used as a guide.
Hold one section of your hair between 2 fingers.At a slightly downward angle, hold your fingers parallel to your brows.You can use the shears to cut.If you do the same thing on the other side, make your cut in the opposite direction.To enjoy your new look, sweep your curtain bangs to the side of your face.The downward angle from the top of your brow arch to the end is the same angle you are going for with your bangs.Before you make these cuts, you should step back from the mirror.You can get a bigger picture of how your bangs look.If you're close to the mirror, it's easy to cut too much.
Step 7: Make your bangs look natural and blend them with this final step.
Put your hair in front of your face.Attach small scissors to the bottom of your hair by holding your shears vertically.As you move across your fringe, make these random cuts.This will make your bangs blend into the rest of your hair.The snips should be short, with barely any length coming off.
