Are you tired of making the trip and paying the money to go to a salon just to have your bangs cut? You can start saving time and money now by cutting your bangs yourself! Whether you want blunt, side, or curtain bangs, shearing your own locks is an easy task that you can easily do at home.
Part your hair to create a triangle in your roots.
Take a comb and place the tip of it 1–2 in (2.5–5.1 cm) above your hairline, in the center of your head. You may need to go a bit further back, like 1 in (2.5 cm) or even to the high, flat part of your head where a comb will balance. Then, draw a downward diagonal line from the center of your head to the end of your eyebrow. Then, repeat on the other side. Pull your bangs section towards the middle to separate it from the rest of your hair.
You should have a triangle-like shape with the point a few inches above your hairline. The sides of the triangle should slope down along the sides of your forehead.
Comb the triangle of bangs forward and pin the rest of your hair back or put it in a
to keep it out of your face.
Dampen your hair if you're trimming grown-out straight bangs.
Brush your hair and create a side part where you normally part it.
Take a fine-tooth comb and brush your hair until it is smooth and tangle-free. For side bangs, you will need to create a side part. Part your hair to the side it naturally falls on.
Comb the sectioned hair forward.
Taking the tip of a comb, draw a part 1–2 in (2.5–5.1 cm) behind your hairline, perpendicular to your side part. (In other words, from side-to-side, rather than front-to-back.) If you're looking for thicker bangs, you can draw a part farther back. This separates your bangs from the rest of your hair.
Find the highest tip of your eyebrow.
Measure a line upwards from the highest tip of your eyebrow to your hairline. Make a part where that line ends. Move the hair on one side of the part towards the middle of your forehead and pin the hair on the side of your head back to keep it out of the way.
Use a comb to part your dry hair down the middle.
Place the tip of your comb in the center of your front hairline (about halfway between your eyes). Pull the comb straight back to the crown of your head to create a center part. Try to make your center part as straight as possible.
Create a triangle of hair 2–3 in (5.1–7.6 cm) from your hairline.
Put the end of your comb on your center part 2–3 in (5.1–7.6 cm) from your hairline. Run the comb from this center point straight down to the arch of 1 eyebrow and comb that hair forward. Do the same thing with the other side/your other eyebrow arch to separate a triangle of hair for your bangs.
Tuck the rest of your hair behind your ears or pin it back with hair clips to keep it out of the way.
Dampen the separated hair with water and comb it out.

Whether you get a few casual wisps, a deep side-sweep, or a brow-skimming fringe, bangs can bring a fresh style to your old cut, without a major (scary) chop. Even better, the right bangs can transform your face—minimizing a high forehead, camouflaging crow's-feet, bringing out your cheekbones, accenting your eyes.
