I don’t want to cut the back of my hair, just the fringe.
My bangs are getting a little heavy, so I want to lighten them.
I don’t have time to go to the salon, but I want to do something about my bangs.
Some of you may be thinking, “I can’t spare the time to go to the salon, but I want to do something about my bangs.
Here, we will teach you how to pluck your bangs.
You can’t fake bangs any more than you can back hair! 4 points of the correct way to pluck hair
Bangs are actually an even more challenging part of the hairline than the back. While the advantage is that you can cut them yourself, the disadvantage is that if they are cut too short or too light, it is difficult to tie them up or tie them back, meaning that they cannot be faked.
Therefore, if you are going to trim your bangs, you should know how to cut and style them properly. There are four key points.
- Block the bangs into three or four sections.
At this time, it is easier to avoid pins, etc., on the excess part. - Scissors should be inserted from the middle.
It is easier to adjust the length and amount of hair on the sides after the middle length is determined. - Scissors should be inserted vertically.
If you grab a handful of hair and cut it in a straight line horizontally, the line will definitely rattle first. Make a “choki” shape with your fingers, place the scissors vertically across the bangs. - Brush, wet or dry the hair and check for any discomfort.
When cutting or combing hair, it is easy to overdo it. Also, the impression you get when your hair is dry is very different from when it is wet. Check to see if there is a sense of discomfort in either case. It is also important to brush your hair to make sure it is balanced when viewed as a whole.
If you are doing this at home, you will want to have a pair of sukisashi scissors.
If you are a person who grooms your hair at home, you will want to have a pair of sukisan shears. These are excellent for reducing the amount of hair without changing the length.
Hair stylists, for example, can adjust the amount of hair beautifully without using shears at all. However, it is also true that people without specialized knowledge often inadvertently “cut” their hair during the hair-scooping stage.
However, with a pair of hair scissors, this risk can be greatly reduced, and since they are available for around 1,000 to 3,000 yen, it is a good idea to have one handy.
Because bangs cannot be faked, it is important to master the correct procedure for cutting and trimming bangs!
