Alternatively, you can cut your bangs while they're wet. Just remember to clean up any mistakes or inconsistencies once your hair is completely dry. Create two angled side parts using the handle of a rat-tail comb. Start each one above the arch of your left and right eyebrow, and have them come to a point about 2 inches (5.1cm) from your hairline. Pull the rest of your hair into a ponytail, or secure it with clips. If you already have bangs, skip. You can use them as a cutting guide. Comb your bangs or sectioned-off hair straight first. If you notice any frizz or flyaways, tame them with some smoothing cream or oil. Finally, part your bangs or hair down the center. You'll be starting with the left side of your bangs. If you need to, secure the right side with a hair clip. Make a V shape with your index and middle fingers. Close them against the entire left side of your bangs, then slide them don until they reach the top of your eyebrow. Pull the section away from your forehead by about 1 inch (2.5cm). Your can keep your fingers straight and parallel to the floor, or you can angle them downward to create face-framing bangs. Get out a pair of hairdressing scissors. Starting with the inside edge of the section (the one closest to the middle of your forehead), begin to cut your hair below your fingers. Angle the scissors up by about 45 degrees, and cut in short snips using the very tip of your scissors. If you are having trouble cutting at an angle, switch to a pair of thinning or chunking shears, and cut straight across, without angling. Start on the side closest to the middle of your forehead, and work your way out to the outside edge. Pinch your hair between your fingers where you want to cut, and cut everything below them using little snips. If you angled your fingers in the previous step, be sure to angle them in the opposite direction. Gently shake and loosen your bangs with your fingers. Take a look at your bangs. If they are too long, trim them shorter using the same process.
