They look uneven in the picture, but I was being wind raped.

I took a look at my side swept bangs, bangs I've had since I was about 12, and then thought, "Do I want to still look like I did when I was 12?"
Well, that's when the trimmers came out and I looked up how to cut blunt, straight bangs the right way.

I thought it was a great change for the winter months, and makes me look more 17 than my old hair did. I want to look sophisticated, and now I do.

I apologize for the lack of photos in the tutorial and if it's vague in a few places, by all means, comment.

You Will Need (1 thing)

  • Scissors

Steps (6 steps, 10 minutes)

  1. 1

    First, part your hair down the middle of your head. If its not a straight part, it won't look right.

  2. 2

    Then, take the hair you don't want as bangs, and pull it back into a pony tail, or pin it back, where it won't get cut.

  3. 3

    The hair you do want as bangs, pull towards the front of your head. Brush it free of tangles and all that jazz.

    << that picture depicts how the part and the bangs look so far (from the top of your head, that is)

    The bangs should have a triangular looking part that's separate than the rest of your hair.

  4. 4

    If you can, depending on the the thickness of your bangs, take a layer of your bangs and pin it back.
    I didn't make my bangs too thick, so, I did mine all in one.

    Take the bottom layer, and measure where you want them. On the eyebrow? Cut just below. Make sure to use a comb to keep it straight, or use your finger.

    I like mine a tab bit longer so I can curl them under.

  5. 5

    Take down the top layer of your bangs and cut them to the same length. Then, even them out in places that may be longer than others.

  6. 6

    Additionally, you may want side pieces of bangs that taper down and frame your face. To achieve this, take a small section of hair on the side of your bangs and cut them at an angle and length that grazes your cheekbones.
