Well, the truth is, you can cut your own bangs at the comfort of your home. And once you learn the basic tricks, you can trim your bangs whenever you want to as well.
We’ve got an excellent tutorial for you to learn how to cut side swept bangs, if you don’t have it down at the end of the post, we’ve also included a video!
Are you ready to get started?
Step 1
Comb back the hair on your crown. After that, push the rest of your hair back and tie everything into a ponytail. This should keep any stray hair away from the face. After that, comb down your bangs.
Step 2
Using a pintail comb, determine where your bangs will start and end. Hold the comb vertically and locate the tip of your eyebrow. Hold it up and you will see where your bangs should start. Do it on the other side to see where the bangs will end.
Step 3
After dividing the sides, it is now time to even the top of the bangs. Make sure the top of the bangs is in a straight line.
Step 4
If the sides and top of the bangs are already even, tie the stray hair again in a ponytail. This time, make the ponytail a bit tighter.
Step 5
Now, it’s time to get ready for the cut. Hold on to your bangs and twist it. The reason for twisting the bangs is to avoid crossing your hand on the other side to make the cut, especially if you’re right-handed. This will avoid cutting at an angle, which can result to a disastrous cut.
Step 6
After twisting the hair, comb down the bangs and spread it evenly.
Step 7
Time to make the cut! Use professional hair cutting scissors and hold it at an angle as shown below. Cut the hair slowly and make sure you open and close the scissors in every cut. Doing one big cut is a big no-no; little cuts are always better.
Step 8
After doing the side cut, comb down the bangs again, but this time, split it into two parts. Hold the bangs down and hold your scissors pointing up. Cut little by little upward, this is to give the bangs an edgier look. After cutting the first part, do the second part too.
This is how your side-swept bangs should look by now.
Step 9
After the cut, the next thing to do is style the hair. A great way to style side-swept bangs is to use a hair straightening iron…
Step 10
…and use a hair spray that you trust and love.
You’re done! Side-swept bangs that look professionally cut! Still looking to spice up your look? Check out this post on how to achieve truly radiant hair!
