But situations are different, sometimes there is simply no time to go to the salon or to the master (young mothers, you have the floor), or money (yes, this also often happens), or neither one nor the other.
And it also happens that for miles around there is no salon, no master, and the reflection in the mirror is seriously annoying. Well, or okay, everything is there, but the clock is two nights and you are struck in the head, and you want to have a haircut right now. Familiar?

- hair always shave dry (!)
- use special hairdressing scissors (or in extreme cases - sharp straight nail scissors), do not disfigure yourself with stationery or kitchen
- never cut off more than one centimeter from the strand
- do not relax until everything is finished - there is nothing more foolish than to spoil an almost finished result with a careless or not verified movement of a hand with scissors
haircut "one length"
Dry hair as it should be combed, divided into two parts with the tip of a comb or knitting needles (you should have a smooth parting and dividing line on the back of the head), and lay them on the sides of the face (strands should naturally fall on the shoulders in front).
Start from the right side of the hair: pinch the strand between your index and middle finger on the border that you want to cut. Scissor tips pointing up start cutting the ends of the strands, moving from the chin to the neck (do not hold the scissors perpendicular to the strand, you need to make a lot of cuts at an angle, not just one straight cut, so that the border is softer and your hair is well laid).
Repeat the procedure on the second part of the hair. Once again comb and lay strands, check that the length was the same. Cut off the sticking tips (all the same micro-scissors at an angle).
At the exit you should have hair of the same length, which lies along the back in a small arc

What are they like?
Before you cut the bang itself, you need to decide on its appearance. We all know that they can be rare, thick, even, slanting, etc. However, they can be divided into two types:
- Independent element hairstyles. Most often they attract attention and do not depend on the length of the hair.
- Part of the hairstyle. They depend on the type of haircut and are worked out at the end of the hairstyle. Usually she combed out in a given direction. Edging is also carried out after completion of the main work.
What is the edging?
First, let's define what the edging is.
Edging - the necessary final element. It is both a contour line and a separate way to adjust it. Edging can make smooth, rounded, or vice versa sharp and torn.
How can I cut bangs using different types of edging? The most common is:
- triangular,
- two-level (with a thick or sparse upper layer),
- straight,
- wavy,
- stepped,
- torn (one or different length),
- slanting
If the question of how to properly cut the bangs is a problem for you, it is recommended to contact a hairdresser or a stylist as a consultation. He will tell or even show the best option, suitable for density, width. An alternative is also the selection of haircuts using a computer program.
Choosing a parting
Options for separating bangs from the bulk of the hair, there are several:
- triangular parting
- U-shaped parting,
- parallel branch
The width is most often determined by the right and left frontal protuberances. Sometimes, when haircuts require it, bangs can capture temporal locks.
What tools are needed?
- First is the scissors. It is recommended to use only professional scissors, as the result will depend on their quality. However, if there are none, you need to take the sharpest.
Please note that if you plan to continue to cut your hair yourself, be sure to purchase a professional tool. It is also recommended to additionally purchase thinning shears, which, if desired, can learn to make remarkable effects.
- Secondly, it is a comb. Keep in mind that this should not be a tangle teezer massage comb, but a comb. Commonly used are double scallops, on the one hand of which are rare cloves, and on the other - frequent. You may also need a variety of “crabs” or elastic bands to fix the hair.
Technique haircut: wet or dry hair?
So, all the tools are ready, the type is selected, it now remains to figure out how to cut the bangs nicely, avoiding technical errors. Opinions about whether to moisturize hair before cutting differ. Everyone can defend their opinions for a long time, giving their own arguments.
But if you are still undecided, you need to keep in mind that with dry curls, a haircut may not turn out to be quite even, as the styling that is currently available can have a big impact (especially for wavy and curly hair).
If you decide to moisturize your hair before cutting, keep in mind that in the final result they can “jump” by 0.5-1 cm. In this case, you need to be careful with the issue of length and shape.
Technique haircut oblique bangs
First, separate the bangs from the rest of the hair. If you wish, you can use a spray gun to smooth curls. Next, you need to comb bangs and cut it at the desired angle. Thus, we get an even cut. But many are interested in the question: how to cut a slanting bang with more interesting edges? Alternatively, you can walk small teeth vertically on the tips. If you have very thick hair, you can make a thinning.
Technique haircut torn bangs
This version of the haircut is quite complicated and without preparation it will not be easy to implement it. To begin to separate the parting bangs, comb it. Then, at the desired level, cut the hair with teeth, which can be both large and small. For thick hair fit large teeth, for rare - small. Then it is recommended to carry out filing, but this is at your discretion.
Based on the foregoing, you can see that in order to bring hair in order, it is not necessary to go to the hairdresser: it can be cut at home. If you are still worried about how to cut your fringe yourself, videos and various tutorials will always come to the rescue.
And if you still do not decide to cut the bang, then there are quite a few ways how to stab a bang of different lengths.
Types of bangs
All types of bangs among stylists, hairdressers are conventionally divided into two groups:
- as an addition to a haircut - in this case, the bang together with the rest of the hair will form a whole, the bang will be trimmed at the very end of the hairstyle and will serve as its logical conclusion,
- as a separate element - the shape of such bangs does not depend on the general appearance of the hairstyle, while the main haircut can be rare and thick, long and short.
What is edging?
The final appearance of the bang depends on the shape of the edging. This is the name of the final contour line and at the same time the correction method. The most common forms of edging:
- straight,
- oval and reverse oval,
- torn
- slanting
- L-shaped,
- triangular,
- stepped,
- wavy.
If you find it difficult to decide on the shape and shape, it is better to consult a professional stylist or hairdresser for advice. He will give the necessary recommendations and select the right option, which will be perfect for you in shape and density.
Width and thickness are important characteristics.
According to the rules, the width of the bangs is usually chosen to be equal to the distance between the right and left protuberances of the forehead. Borders should not go beyond the temples, but there may be exceptions in this case.
Do you need thick or rare bangs? In this matter, you have almost complete freedom of action. However, when choosing thickness, one should take into account such factors as the density of your hair.
The fatter you want to make bangs, the further you should move the line of parting from the face. Its shape may be different:
- U-shaped parting,
- triangular,
- parallel.

How to perform filing correctly?
Filirovka will give your head of hair the effect of airiness. However, if you have curly curls or too thin, it is better to refuse this procedure. For filing required special scissors, their feature are small teeth on the blades. It is at their expense that the hair is cut off not in a straight line, but in part.
You can do your own filing by following these instructions:
- We remove the excess hair back and fasten the hair with clips,
- Curls are divided into several separate strands,
- We take one strand and twist it in the form of a light tow,
- Taking thinning shears, make a cut at a distance of 2-3 mm from the tips,
- We do the same with the rest of the hair.
Filming is possible to perform in various ways. For example, you can process the ends of your hair by guiding scissors along a horizontal line. Another option is to make incisions diagonally, holding the thinning shears in an upright position. In this case, you can get an extravagant ragged edging.
Making a bang yourself is not so difficult, it is important to follow the recommendations of hairdressers and perform the procedure consistently. To begin with, try to cut it in a straight line, and then, having a little “stuffed hand”, you can already safely experiment. Do not be afraid to change your image and amaze others!
