I wanna go to the hairdresser, but I just don’t have the time! But my hair is in the way! In such cases, we recommend a cutting method that you can do by yourself.
Bangs are easy! How to cut them yourself
Since the amount of bangs is determined in advance, use hair clips to separate the hair so as not to cut the hair on the sides. After that, insert the scissors vertically against the bangs and cut little by little.
At this point, if the hair is wet, it will be difficult to adjust the desired length, so keep the hair dry. Check the length while aligning it with a comb along the way.
Even oblique bangs have an easy way to cut them yourself!
Is it difficult to do slanted bangs unless you are a professional? Many people think so, but there is a way to cut these as well. As with straight bangs, cut without wetting the hair.
There is a direction to flow diagonally, so pull the hair in the opposite direction and cut horizontally as it is. If you cut too drastically, it will be too short, so be careful in your positioning.
When flowing diagonally, the part that needs length will appear, so cutting by flowing in the opposite direction will make it easier to create the desired shape. However, cut little by little or the risk of failure will be high.
Useful tools to take advantage of the do-it-yourself cutting method
- Scissors and combs are essential tools
When cutting bangs, prepare scissors that cut well. If you plan to cut them yourself in the future, you should purchase special scissors. Choose scissors that are easy to maintain. Also, there is no need to be particular about the type of comb, as it is only needed for aligning the hair. - Use hair clips to prevent extra cuts.
Two small hair clips will suffice. A specialized one called a dakkar, like a hairdresser’s, is useful. Dakkars can also be used to hold bangs in place when applying makeup. It is difficult to cut bangs without securing the hair on the sides, and it is a useful tool to avoid a messy side finish.
As mentioned above, some tools have instructions on how to cut bangs yourself. Scissors should be of good quality, but otherwise inexpensive ones can be used.
