I really need to start taking my own advice.

ok,well i have angled bangs that go off to the side. my hair grows suuuppeerr fast and i got my hair cut like two weeks ago,and my angled bangs got REALLY long! i dont know how to cut them so they are still angled, could you help? like in steps? if i mess up i dont care,because they'll grow back in a heartbeat. but could you give me steps so i know how to do it each time? also is it ok to use saftey sissors or regular sissors? cause i dont have hair dresser sissors.... thank you so much!! :]

Hi there, I do my own bangs all the time :)

I prefer to do them when they're dry.
That way I can know exactly how short to
cut them without having to worry about
them shrinking as they dry.
Now you can either use scissors or
a razor. I like to hold the hair I'm
cutting in between my middle and pointer
finger, and gently tug straight down leaving
some hair hanging out underneath my fingers.
(This is the hair you're going to cut,
so move your fingers up and down depending
how long or short you want them)

Now angle your scissors in the angle
you want the bangs to be, and gently
and slowly snip off at the bangs.
I like to randomly cut off some pieces
on top because the choppy look adds
deffition to my face. After I've cut them
I run a razor along the bottoms to
make them look less straight and precise.

Good Luck
