No to botched bangs. <\/p>\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n

If you’re bored out of your mind, you’ve come to the right place. The enhanced community quarantine is breeding ground for random hobbies and impulsive behavior. So, as much as we’d like to encourage you to switch up your look before the quarantine ends, we want to give you tips on how to avoid botched bangs. <\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Cutting your own bangs, especially with zero experience, will either a.) boost your self-esteem or b.) make you cry at 2 AM in front of the bathroom mirror. (No, we’re not speaking from personal experience). Before you start grabbing a pair of paper scissors, please read on to avoid the latter, okay? Now, listen carefully: <\/p>\n\n\n

How to Cut Your Bangs<\/span><\/strong><\/h1>\n\n\n

1. Gather your supplies<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Move away from the kitchen scissors!<\/strong> Before you do anything rash, we suggest investing in the right supplies. What you’ll need are (1) a pair of shears or styling scissors and (2) a fine-tooth comb to really get even, solid bangs. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Tip: <\/strong>The sharper and smaller the blade, the less likely you’ll make a mistake. Even if you think your kitchen scissors or office shears are sharp enough, they’re still too dull compared to regular shears. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

2. Make sure your hair is dry! <\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Here’s something important you need to know: do not wet your hair<\/strong>. Damp hair usually shrinks up when dry so if you’re cutting your bangs when wet, it’ll turn out shorter than you expected. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

3. Make a Bang Triangle<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

For full bangs, here’s what to do: part your hair perfectly in the center. After you\u2019ve parted your hair, feel the top of your head or turn sideways in front of the mirror. This will help you find the spot where your head starts to curve down<\/strong>, which will then indicate your bangs’ starting point<\/strong>. P.S. You can also move forward if you think your bangs will be too thick! <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Using your comb, separate your bangs from the rest of your hair by making a triangle shape. If you’ve got extra clips lying around, use them to pin down the sides of your hair and away from the bangs. <\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

5. Watch a YouTube tutorial <\/h2>\n\n\n\n

If you need visual aid alongside our step-by-step guide, you can always see how it’s done by watching a YouTube tutorial<\/strong>. The best thing about YouTube hair tutorials is that each video is tailored for specific hair textures, hairstyles, and face shapes.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n
