how to: cut your own fringe/bangs

hey everyone
today i thought i would share with you how to cut your own fringe, learning to do this will save you money and time in the long run :D

i trained to become a hairdresser so this is how i was taught how to cut fringes (Americans call them bangs)

what you need:

• a fine tooth comb
• a section clip
• pair of scissors

now you dont have to buy really expensive scissors to do this, you can go into say Boots, and buy some hairdressing scissors from there, they can range from £10 all the way up to £500, so trust me get the cheapy ones, its only for cutting your fringe :D

1. oki so what you need to do is section of your hair, so that you have all the hair that you dont want in your fringe out of the way

  

2. next what you do is grab your comb, make sure there are no knots in your fringe and then with your comb in one hand and your index finger and middle finger on your other hand, follow the comb down and swoop your fringe across the other side of your face so its inline with your nose

3. next you want to cut along your fingers, you want to make the top shorter then the bottom (of your fingers) so that you get a sweeping fringe, start by doing alittle at a time if your not sure, you can comb it down and see whats happening and then comb it across afterwards.

4. so once youve cut of enough you should have something that looks like this

theres also an easier way to cut your fringe if your skilled enough, its called slicing, because its like you know when youve wrapped a present and you use the ribbon to decorate but you make it a spirall with your scissors, like that (haha cant describe it well)

so you basically use the base of the scissors and where you want your shortest bit to start you slice, you glide the open scissors down your hair and the scissors should cut your hair while they are open.

(please for the love of god do not just cut straight along and close your scissors, i am not responsible for the outcome of that.)

so there you have it, how to cut your own fringe, i hope this helps and saves some money at the hairdressers.
