Let's face it - if you have short, stylish, super-flattering bangs, you know the upkeep is enough to drive you mad. You never really notice just how quickly your hair does grow until you want to keep it at one length, and for bang wearers, the perfect length doesn't last all that long.
But who has the time and money to trek back to the salon every time your bangs creep below their welcome point? Save time and money by learning the tricks of the trade and performing your own mini trim. You'll first want to make the trip to your local beauty supplier and pick up a pair of hair scissors. Kitchen and craft scissors have blunt, bulky points, and can't deliver the precise clips you'll need to pull off. Start with clean, dry hair that is free from product.
Although the salon professionals go at it wet, gauging how long your hair is on a guess is not something you'll want to chance. Brush your bangs in their normal manner, and sweep up a small section with your fingers. Keep a natural amount of slack when you pull so you don't over-cut. Angle your fingers with the shape of your bangs. If you have straight bangs, create a straight line with your fingers. For side bangs, mirror their shape on an angle.
Starting in the middle, begin to cut into your bangs holding the scissors at a vertical angle that is perpendicular to your fingers. Works your way to each end, and repeat the process several times, stopping in between each sweep to ensure you are not going overboard. Brush your bangs to your desired style and assess how much you've cut. Once you're done, secure your bangs in place with a bit of product, and pat yourself on the back for a job well done.
