How to make bangs

Ok so I haven't paid for an actual haircut yet this year. (I know, Jessicaaa [fictional character], ew so gross...think of all the dead ends)

Ergo, my bangs were basically well - hahah- what bangs?

I decided it was time for a wee little trim. This is by no means an exhaustive study on the art of making bangs and in fact I would suggest you check out youtube for more awesome tutorials.



I'm just too uncoordinated to make a video about this. and maybe a little too lazy.

Here's what I would suggest having on hand:

- A sharp pair of scissors (I sort of snipped my middle finger in the process so be careful if you're stupid with sharp objects)

- A mirror

- trashcan for bang clippings

- a fine comb

- source of water

- a hair dilly-bob (yes, that's what my family calls them)

Using your fine comb and best judgment, determine where your bang line should start. If you don't already have bangs I would suggest starting a little too far forward in the beginning. That way if you think your bangs look too thin you can keep bringing more hair forward.

Once you have combed the hair you want to transform into bangs forward, tie the rest of your hair back with a hair dilly-bob (yes, that's what they're called).

eek. gross. dead ends.

BE CAREFUL!!! Starting from the top of your bangs (meaning the part that's covering your forehead) down, cut section by section. And here's the trick to not make them look like homeschooler bangs:

CUT USING YOUR SCISSORS VERTICALLY.

This will make the ends look "piece-y" rather than perfectly straight across.

Be sure to cut both sides of your hair so you don't look lopsided.

Like magic your hair can go from yawn to amazingggg!!!

ooh

And if your hair is weird like mine just make sure to straighten those puppies out. Otherwise you'll get the page boy look.

good job katie. that's a nose.
