How to cut straight bangs at home. How to make beautiful bangs yourself without turning to a specialist? Photo gallery: unsuccessful bangs haircuts

All women love to change their appearance. Sometimes it depends on the mood or situations. For such changes, bangs would be an ideal option. At the same time, you can cut your bangs at home yourself. To do this you don't need a lot of hairdressing skills.

In our article, we looked in detail at how to cut bangs in several variations.

Nowadays there are so many variations of bangs that it’s impossible to count. But we decided to look at a few of them in more detail. To cut your bangs yourself, the best options are straight, short oblique and long bangs on both sides.

Straight bangs

Straight bangs are one of the most common types of bangs.

The first thing we do when cutting a parting is to separate the strands for future bangs with a diagonal parting. When distributed, the curls for bangs should not go beyond the temporal part. And now we remove the unnecessary part of the hair with hairpins on both sides.

Haircuts are done in several layers for a more accurate cut.

Having selected the lower part and combed it, we begin to cut it in a straight line. Do not move the strands while doing this. Now we cut the subsequent rows in the same way, taking the first one as a sample.

Short side bangs

These bangs are much easier to cut than straight bangs. Here you need to follow the algorithm.

To begin, we separate the temporal zone of hair on both sides. There is no need to capture loose hair from this area into bangs, just separate it with a hair clip. Next, lower the desired part of the hair exactly onto the forehead and moisten it with water from a spray bottle. And comb it carefully.

If you want thick bangs, then it is better to work with two layers in stages.

Now let's move on to the haircut. The bangs are pulled in the opposite direction in which they will lie. Fix the hair with your fingers and make an even cut. We do the same with the second layer. And now we distribute the bangs to the desired side.

Long bangs on two sides

Long bangs on two sides look very feminine. And if you want this version of bangs, then it won’t be difficult for you to cut them off even at home.

For this type of bangs, we divide the hair into a middle parting or slightly to the side. Next, separate part of the hair with a triangle. Make a triangle the size you want to make your bangs. We fix excess hair with hairpins.

Now we comb the resulting strand and cut the hair along an even line to the level of the collection or slightly higher (depending on your desire). The cut edge can be made more abrupt. To do this, trim your hair while holding the scissors vertically. Or just make a cut with thinning scissors. And now distribute the strands to the sides.

You can cut your bangs yourself at home. But before choosing an option, you need to familiarize yourself with the rules for combining the shape of the cuts with the oval of the face.

Bangs can be refreshing appearance, correct problem areas and highlight natural beauty. But an incorrectly chosen form will have the opposite effect - it will focus on imperfect details. In addition, the cut should blend harmoniously into the overall haircut, so as not to be a separate detail. The concept of framing the tips coincides with the design of the tips along the entire length.

Cutting bangs at home

Many women master complex coloring techniques and cosmetic procedures at home. It is not particularly difficult for them to deal with bangs. But as in any business, there are nuances, taking into account which you can avoid various flaws and irreparable mistakes.

The most decisive moment in a home haircut is determining the shape of the future hairstyle. If cutting is performed for the first time, it is better to consult with a specialist. It will help you choose a cut that harmoniously fits into the image. When searching on your own, it is better to focus on an oblique cut or torn ends. Thinned strands will look softer, but not on thin hair.

There is only one requirement for the main tool - the sharpness of the blades. It is impossible to make a beautiful haircut with dull scissors. If you don’t have a professional tool, you can use a stationery tool, the length of which is at least 10 cm.

Before cutting, you should make an even cut. However, you need to take into account that when dry, the length will jump by several millimeters. You need to pay special attention to curly hair. When wet, they straighten and create a misleading impression of the future shape. When dry, the curls will become tousled, leaving no trace of the preliminary impression. The solution is to periodically straighten the hair with an iron before styling or giving it the appropriate shape.

Separating the strands with a parting will also help to create a beautiful shape. The rest of the hair needs to be pinned together with clips to avoid interference during cutting. Thinning will help to add fluffiness and lightness. It is performed using
special scissors or the tips of ordinary ones, but this will require certain skills.

What does that require:

• comb with fine teeth;
• 2 types of scissors (hairdressing and thinning);
• special clamps;
• mirror;
• water sprayer.

How to choose the length and thickness of bangs

The parameters of the bangs are determined based on the type of face oval and the characteristics of the hair structure. Thin strands should not be excessively thinned or lengthened. They themselves have delicate and smooth outlines, so it is quite possible to get by with light thinning, which will give the necessary volume.

Thick bangs do not look good in a shortened version, however, neither do very curly ones. Therefore, torn and oblique cuts and asymmetries are chosen for them. An even cut along the line of the eyebrows, opening them or reaching the eyelashes, is perfect. On thick strands you can use several techniques, among which is especially popular. Multi-layering perfectly corrects imperfect face shapes, problem areas and simply adds femininity.

For a square face type, bangs are a must, as oblique or torn cuts effectively soften a wide shape, attract attention, removing the emphasis from the hard lines of the chin and cheekbones. Wavy strands will also look great.

Thick, straight bangs will help disguise the imperfections of a triangular face. It will hide a wide forehead. And an oblique shape with an elongated end to the chin will also distract attention from a sharp chin.

Oval faces can experiment with different cuts. Perfect lines are difficult to spoil with anything. But you should not overdo it with creativity; classicism and asymmetry are more suitable.

Various shapes are also suitable for a round face, but preference is given to an oblique cut. It is appropriate to decorate the torn ends or get by with thinning.

In addition to choosing the cutting line, you need to decide on the parting. It can be issued in several options:

• in the form of a triangle;
• U-shaped configuration;
• with parallel compartment.

If your hair type is thin, then you should not use a U-shaped parting. It will take up more of the top part of the hair, which will reduce the volume on the crown and sides.

How to cut your hair correctly

Straight bangs require a more careful approach and careful execution. Without proper moisture, it will not be possible to make an even cut.

Step by step guide:

1. separate the bangs with a parting of the desired shape, and pin the remaining strands with clips or an elastic band;
2. take a small strand from the side of the right temple, stretching it between your fingers, cut the length slightly below the eyebrow line (the scissors should be held at an angle of 45 degrees);
3. do the same actions with the strand located on the left side of the temple;
4. cut the central strands one by one, focusing on the selected length;
5. comb your hair, straighten the cut if necessary;
6. Also, alternately thin out the ends of each strand using thinning scissors (you should not retreat more than 2-3 cm from the edge);
7. dry and check the resulting shape.

Oblique bangs are performed both on dry strands and on wet ones. It is important to note on dry hair the shortest level and the longest.

Step by step guide:

1. separate the front curls with a parting of the chosen shape, cutting off the rest of the hair with clips or an elastic band;
2. moisten the strands with water from a spray bottle;
3. comb and outline the highest level and longest tip;
4. holding the scissors at an angle of 45 degrees, make an inclined cut, connecting the marks of two levels;
5. process the ends with thinning scissors;
6. dry and check the resulting shape.

Torn bangs are easy to do. Even an amateur can do it. The type of haircut resembles thinning, but with deeper cuts. The messy shape can hide all imperfections, so it suits any face type.

Step by step guide:

1. separate the bangs according to the desired parting shape, pin the remaining strands with clips;
2. moisten the curls with water from a spray bottle;
3. twisting small flagella from the strands, cut them at an angle (you should stick to the lower level of length so as not to get too short bangs);
4. comb and make adjustments if necessary.

• When choosing bangs, you should be guided not only by fashion trends, but also by the characteristics of your face.
• Styling on curly hair should be done after preliminary straightening with an iron.
• A round brush and a hairdryer will help create additional volume.
• You can express jagged cuts by applying a small amount of wax to the ends of your hair.
• Cutting bangs should be done on damp hair, but keep in mind that when dry, the length will decrease.
• When making a cut, you don’t need to pull the strands too much; you can make a mistake with the length.
• The oblique shape of the bangs is cut from the bottom up. If you move in the opposite direction, you can get a crooked cut.
• If you are not sure of the correctness of the chosen length, it is better to retreat below the designated level. This will give you a chance to correct the situation.

With the help of bangs you can change your appearance beyond recognition. According to stylists, there are no women who would not like bangs. You just need to choose it correctly.

There are a lot of options for bangs: plucked, symmetrical, asymmetrical, thinned out, two-tiered, beveled, long, short, voluminous and so on.

Much depends on the type of face. With the help of bangs you can hide facial imperfections and highlight advantages:

• Women with a square face Straight bangs are not recommended. Asymmetrical or oblique bangs will add roundness and softness to such a face.

• Women with round faces and full cheeks Oblique bangs are suitable, which will visually lengthen the face. Avoid thick, straight bangs that hide your entire forehead.

• Women with a triangular face Round thin bangs with textured edges are suitable. Avoid bangs with a straight, straight edge.

• Women with long faces Straight, slightly layered bangs will do. Avoid thick bangs with a straight edge, which will make your chin appear narrow and sharp.

• Women with heart-shaped faces You should choose bangs that are shorter in the middle and longer at the edges. Avoid short bangs that will accentuate a wide forehead.

• Women with oval faces Almost any bangs will do. More recommended or very short bangs, or oblique long. Very heavy blunt bangs may not work.

Bangs can be divided into 2 groups:

• structural element of hairstyle
• independent hairstyle element

In the first case, bangs are performed during the haircut process, done according to the description of the technology for its implementation. In the second case, the design of the bangs does not depend on the haircut or hairstyle you wear. You simply choose the bang option that suits you, which will be valuable in itself.

Width and thickness of bangs

The width of the bangs is usually limited by the width of the forehead and the distance between the forehead ridges. The hair is separated with a straight horizontal and triangular parting, combed over the face and trimmed.

Separating bangs with a triangular parting

Separating bangs with a U-shaped parting

The thickness of the bangs depends on the thickness of the hair and on the distance to which the parting is moved away from the marginal hairline.

How to cut bangs

It is quite possible to cut your bangs yourself without resorting to the services of a hairdresser.

Bangs with hair of the same length

Comb your hair and part your bangs. Make a horizontal parting, comb the selected strand over your face, and pin up the rest of your hair. The selected strand will be the control; cut it to the desired length.

Separate the next strand with a horizontal parting, going about a centimeter from the first. Pull the control and second selected strands 90 degrees and trim the hair at the same level.

So process the entire area of ​​the bangs, focusing on the length of the control strand.

Comb your hair and check the edging. You can thin the ends. Its depth will depend on what result you want to achieve - thinned bangs, torn or smooth.

Comb your hair and separate the bangs area with partings (U-shaped, triangular, rectangular). Pin up your hair. Using a horizontal parting parallel to the edge hairline, select a control strand across the entire width of the bangs. Comb your hair onto your face and trim it to your desired length. Separate the next strand with a second horizontal parting, stepping back a centimeter from the first. Place it on the control one and align it to the level of its cut. The cut line of the bangs will be perfectly straight if the length of each subsequent strand is 1-1.5 centimeters longer than the bottom one. In this way (using the strand-by-strand method) process the entire area of ​​the bangs.

Comb your hair and trim with straight or thinning scissors.

Edging is a method of creating the bottom line of a contour. The line along which the edging goes can be different - smooth, triangular, curved, torn, with protrusions. Most often, edging is done with scissors, which are drawn along the intended line. The hair is cut with the tips of scissors. At the same time, their working cloth rests on the hair. Try to move the scissors smoothly and not lift them away from the hair.

Two-level bangs

Part the hair in the frontal area and secure it with a clip. Then comb the first 1 centimeter thick strand with a horizontal parting and cut the hair along a horizontal line just above the middle of the forehead.

Comb another strand after 1 centimeter with a horizontal parting and cut the hair at the level of the cut line of the first strand.

Comb the third combed strand over your face and cut along a horizontal line that runs 1 centimeter below the bridge of your nose. Also cut off the following strands.

Having finished cutting your bangs, comb your hair and make a fairly strong and deep thinning with straight scissors. Hold the scissors strictly parallel to the direction of the hair.

Select the central strand and pull it at a 90 degree angle. Make a straight cut.

Using radial partings, separate subsequent strands of the frontal-parietal zone and pull them towards a stable control strand, creating an extension in the area of ​​the ears.

Radial parting - the hair is separated by radius partings running from the crown to the hairline.

Long bangs

Comb all trimmed hair from the crown area onto the face and create the desired edge.

At the top of the head, select a strand and pull it out at an angle of 90 degrees to the surface of the head. Trim it with a straight cut. This will be the control strand.

Separate the remaining strands of the parietal zone with partings and cut them, pulling them towards the control strand, creating an extension towards the face. Cut your bangs using the slicing method.

Slicing is a sliding cut that is performed with straight scissors or a razor. Slicing with scissors is done on dry hair. At the same time, the scissors are held almost parallel to the hair and perform a sliding movement directed from the roots of the hair to the ends, starting work at any height of the strand.

Thinning and edging of bangs

Thinning of the bangs is done with thinning scissors or the tips of straight scissors, deepening by 1-1.5 centimeters.

Edging is done on bangs that have a clear cut line. Alternate scissor movements along the edge line with comb movements, carefully combing all the hairs in the desired direction.

Unlike edging, thinning bangs is always done, but using different techniques.

It is difficult to even imagine how many representatives of the fair sex prefer to wear any kind of haircut with bangs. Some people disguise a high forehead in this way, some create a mysterious look, some follow fashion trends, but they all face the same problem: bangs grow back quite quickly, and there is not always time to cut them at the hairdresser. In this article, we will tell you how to cut your bangs at home, and do it yourself so that the result looks neat and stylish.

To begin with, we would like to draw your attention to some basic points that you need to keep in mind if you are planning to cut your bangs yourself:

• The best thing you can do with bangs at home is to trim them. In other words, your hairdresser should cut it off for you initially. He should also help you choose the appropriate type, shape and thickness of bangs, because for different forms faces need different versions of it. Cutting your bangs yourself, without having them in principle, trying to create them from long hair is not the best best idea(unless you have good hairdressing skills or a penchant for outrageousness).

• Nobody cuts hair with regular scissors. To do this, you need a special hairdressing model, and a sharp one. If you decide to cut your bangs once, then, in principle, you can get by with traditional household scissors. But if you plan to do this regularly, then you should still buy hairdressers.
• In terms of hair moisture/dryness, it is better, on the contrary, to deviate from hairdressing standards. At the salon, they will probably wet your bangs before cutting them, but if you do this yourself, it will most likely be too short. The reason is obvious: when drying, the hair “jumps” up a little. Professionals know how to cut hair with this nuance in mind, but you shouldn’t do this, especially when trying to cut your bangs yourself. The best option is freshly washed and thoroughly dried hair.

• Always leave a margin equal to the thickness of your thumb for trimming. This is the buffer zone that you can sacrifice if you are not satisfied with the result after the first stage of cutting. Of course, if you do not leave such a reserve, then later you will have to trim your bangs due to the required hair length. For curly hair, the supply should be even greater.

The main stages of cutting bangs at home

So, if you decide to cut your bangs at home and want to do it perfectly straight, then follow these steps step by step:

1. Calm down and tune in. Find a place with good natural light in which to place the mirror (or already have one), and have the sharpest scissors available. As noted earlier, it is best if these are professional scissors.
2. Securely separate the bangs you want to cut from all other hair. It's not about just throwing it away long hair back - remove them with clamps, crabs, rubber bands. In a word, completely eliminate the possibility that they will somehow fall under the “hot hand” of you.

1. Comb your bangs thoroughly and divide them into several strands. A wide-tooth comb is best suited for this task.
2. Take one strand, pinch it between your fingers and pull it forward. Cut the length of hair that you would like to cut (including allowance for trimming). At the same time, hold the scissors not perpendicular to the bangs, but at an angle of 45 degrees to it. Otherwise, the curls will slide over the surfaces of the blades, and the bangs will not be smooth, but arched.
3. Repeat the same with the remaining strands, each time grabbing a little hair from the previous one and matching it in length.
4. Carefully comb your bangs again and evaluate the result: how smoothly did you manage to cut it yourself, are there any extra hairs sticking out somewhere, how well does it all correspond to the shape you would like to get, and so on. Naturally, if you notice uncut hairs somewhere, cut them to the chosen length.

1. Adjust the shape of your bangs in case you were unable to cut it really straight, or if you want a cut other than straight. Now it will be correct to hold the scissors at right angles to the hairline, as if cutting off the “teeth” that were created at the previous stage of cutting.
2. Lightly wet your bangs and press them to your forehead: This is the final test to see if you have cut it straight. Again, if something doesn’t seem perfect, correct it. But don’t get carried away so as not to go beyond the part of the hair length that you left for adjustments.
3. Dry your bangs and enjoy the look. If you have thinning scissors, you can use them yourself to make your bangs light and airy.

In conclusion, we would like to reiterate that you should not try to cut your bangs at home if you are not calm and focused enough, or if, for example, you do not currently have the opportunity to do it under natural light. Cutting your bangs step by step using the above algorithm yourself is a completely feasible task, and you will probably succeed if you try!

The bangs help create the look. A successful version of it will add zest to the overall look, help hide some imbalances, and, if desired, add creativity.

Regardless of what hairstyle you wear, bangs are one of the most important elements that create your unique image. One form or another can radically change your appearance. You can cut it yourself, and do it in such a way that it ideally suits the shape of your face and hair length.

Before cutting your bangs, you need to decide what it will be. Everyone knows that they have several types: they can be thick or sparse, even or oblique.

Conventionally, they come in two types: as an independent element of a hairstyle or as part of it.

Bangs as an independent element most often do not depend on the length of the curl and in itself attracts attention.

The bangs, which are part of the hairstyle, depend on the type of haircut and are formed after the haircut is completed. As a rule, it is combed out and laid in the desired direction. Edging is also done at the end of the main work.

Edging

It is a necessary final element. This is both a contour line for the bangs and a separate way to adjust it. Edging can give a smooth or rounded look, or, conversely, make it jagged and harsh.

The most common types are:

• Triangular;
• Straight;
• Wavy;
• Two-level;
• Stepped;
• Torn;
• Oblique;

If you have difficulties with how to cut your hair correctly, you can consult a hairdresser or stylist. He can suggest or even show how to do it, and choose an option that is suitable in terms of thickness and width. You can also try computer selection of haircuts using a special program.

Parting selection

There are several options for separating a strand from the main body of hair. The parting can be triangular, U-shaped or parallel.

The width, as a rule, is determined by the frontal convexities: right and left. If a haircut is required, the bangs can also cover the temporal strands.

Tools needed for cutting

First of all, these are scissors. Experts recommend using only professional tools, since the final result depends on their quality. If you don’t have these, then you need to take the most polished ones.

If in the future you plan to cut your own hair, then a professional tool will be a must. In addition to the usual ones, you will also need thinning scissors. If desired, you can create amazing effects with them.

Then a comb. It should only be a comb, not a massage brush. It is best to use a double comb, with sparse teeth on one side and frequent teeth on the other.

In addition to the basic tools, you will need various clamps, crabs and rubber bands.

Haircut technique

When all the tools are ready, the type of haircut has been selected, the question arises: how to cut the bangs without making technical errors and so that they look beautiful.

There are several opinions on whether to moisturize your hair before cutting or leave it dry. Moreover, each opinion is supported by its own arsenal of arguments, and one can argue endlessly.

If there is no complete certainty on this issue, it is worth knowing that on dry hair the haircut will not be completely even, since the existing styling greatly affects it. This is especially true for curly or wavy hair. If you decide to cut wet hair, you should remember that after drying, the hair is shortened by an average of a centimeter. In this case, you need to be careful with the length and shape of the bangs.

Straight

In order to cut your bangs evenly, you must first comb your hair smoothly, pull it towards the bridge of your nose and cut it to the desired length. The result is a strand that you need to follow when cutting off the remaining strands.

Oblique

The bangs are separated from the rest of the hair. If desired, you can use a spray bottle to moisturize your curls. Then the strand is combed and cut at the desired angle: an even cut is obtained. You can make bangs with more bangs, namely, run thinning scissors vertically along the ends of the hair. Thinning scissors are also used for thinning hair.

Torn

This version of the bangs presents a certain complexity and without preparation it is quite difficult to implement.

To begin, the bangs are separated and combed. Next, at the desired level, the hair is cut into teeth. They can be made both large and small. Large ones look best on thick hair, and small ones on thin hair. Then thinning is carried out, but this is done at your discretion.

Based on all of the above, we can conclude that it is not necessary to go to the hairdresser to get your bangs in order: you can do this at home yourself. Various tutorials and videos will help you with this.

Important to remember!

When you decide to cut beautiful bangs, listen to our useful tips:

• When cutting your hair for the first time, do not cut off too much. It is better to give preference to elongated options - if you don’t like the bangs, you can pin them up and they will grow faster;
• The width of the future bangs is equal to the size of the forehead and is limited by the temporal hollows - it should not go beyond them;
• Should you moisturize your hair before cutting? There is no clear answer here. When cutting bangs “dry”, they will not turn out perfectly straight, especially on curly or wavy hair. If you wet the bangs, the final length will jump by about 1 cm.

Don't be afraid of stylish changes, try to be different, and bangs will help you with this!

Hair is a symbol of beauty. What women don’t do with them to look stunning. Coloring, curling, styling, braiding - these are just the basics of working on your hair. The full arsenal is much richer. Today we’ll focus on how to cut your bangs yourself.

What suits whom?

Many hairstyles look incomplete without bangs. Different styles coexist harmoniously only with certain shapes that differ in length, thickness, and angle of inclination. Girls who like to experiment can try to create the desired version at home. The lucky ones who have already been to a stylist and do not want to adjust the length of their bangs every month should learn how to do it correctly in their own bathroom.

Before you pick up scissors, you should understand what is beautiful for you and what is not acceptable:

Basic rules for working with bangs

Let's reveal important nuances in working with facial hair. You will need a number of hairdressing supplies:

In addition to preparing everything you need, it is worth deciding on the desired end result, deciding what the hair cut line, length and shape will be. Use the scissors carefully to avoid scratching your face. If you are not sure that you will get the right size, then you can cut dry hair (wet hair will shorten after drying).

Haircutting techniques

First, let's take a step-by-step look at how to cut side-swept bangs:

To give the image a natural look, you can make a thinning or textured option. In the first case, you will need special scissors with a cut on the blade. They must be operated at a distance of no more than one and a half centimeters from the edge.

If you don't have scissors, use a razor blade. Divide your bangs into five sections. Twist each one into a tight rope, treat the edges of the workpiece at a distance of about a centimeter with a blade, directing it correctly (angle about 30 degrees) and very carefully so as not to remove excess hairs. Remove only the top layer of the rope, thinning it towards the edge in the shape of a nail or needle.

Textured or jagged edges can be achieved by guiding the blade towards the edges of the bangs in a nearly vertical position. To do this, gradually pull the bangs over the crown, removing excess length at a small angle in the form of a herringbone in centimeter increments. After finishing the haircut, go through with thinning scissors.

If everything is clear with this technology, then we’ll figure out how to cut bangs to the side.

There are several options here. The simplest one is done like this:

1. Make an exactly straight cut one centimeter longer than the desired length, since when combing the curls to the sides, the strands will become shorter.
2. Divide your bangs into two parts with a side parting.
3. Cut strands a centimeter wide from the parting at an angle of forty-five degrees to a height of one and a half to two centimeters so that the bangs look beautiful.

You can do the same option as in the pictures. To do this, immediately separate your bangs with a side parting and cut each half separately.

You can make a very original side styling as follows:
