    Default Cutting own bangs

    Okay so i think i want my bangs back but i want to cut them myself. Is this advisable? Does anyone have any advise on how to do it properly apart from proper hair dressing scisors(sp)?

    So my bangs have grown very very long and i had them when my hair was completly blonde and now im back brunette so i wanna see if they will suit me as a brunette too so any help would be good.

    I just posted some pictures of my self cut bangs in the lounge a few days ago. I love how mine turned out, but I'd be careful. I've fucked mine up many a time in the past. I didn't do anything special this time, and they look good, just made sure I was getting the right pieces and chopped away.

    I cut my own regularly, in fact I was the one who cut a bang for myself a few years ago initially. I'd post a photo, but I'm paranoid about having my identity revealed on this here thing. It's pretty simple to do, anyway. Gather your fringe in a bunch and cut straight across. You can even it out a little afterwards if you need to.

    Failing that, you can get it cut at a student hairdressing salon for $5 or so, which I've also done before.

    If you want to cut your own bangs, keep these in mind.

    do it dry.
    Longer is better then shorter.
    you can always trim later. a 1/4 inch is a big difference.
    Carefully part your hair.
    Look in a mirror at the whole effect after each snip. It's like plucking your brows. It's easy to get carried away.

    now go for it!!!

    Yea never cut wet hair, wet hair is longer. When it dries your bangs will be shorter. Google it! They must show different ways to get blunt bangs or fringes.

    Good luck.

    Yes, exactly. I should have specified some of those things, but I clean forgot.
