Steps
Wash your hair and towel-dry it, or mist the front section with water until it is damp. Comb the fringe straight down over your forehead so you can see the real length.
Part the front into a triangle. Put the point at the middle of your hairline and make the base about 2 to 3 cm wide on each side, then clip the rest of your hair back.
Comb the triangle down and pinch it between two fingers just below where you want the bangs to end. Leave a bit of extra length, since hair shrinks up when it dries.
Cut with small vertical snips instead of one straight horizontal line. Point the scissor tips upward into the hair and take off 2 to 3 mm at a time across the section.
Release the hair and check the length. Trim again if you need to, keeping the middle slightly shorter and the sides angled down toward your cheekbones.
Soften the ends. Pinch the ends between your fingers and make tiny point cuts into them to take out weight and create that light, wispy finish.
Blend the corners. Take small vertical sections at each side of the fringe and snip upward so the bangs flow into the rest of your hair instead of stopping in a hard line.
Dry and style the fringe, pulling it forward with a small brush as you blow-dry. Finish with a drop of light serum on the ends to stop frizz.
Tips and common mistakes
Cut less than you think you need. You can always take off more, but you cannot put hair back.
Use proper hairdressing scissors. Paper or kitchen scissors crush the ends and cause split tips.
If your hair is wavy or curly, cut the bangs dry so you can see the true length.
Keep the scissors pointed away from your eyes and cut slowly, especially near the brow line.
Questions
How much should I cut off the first time?
Start with about 1 cm more than your target length and check after every few snips. Most people need two or three passes before the fringe sits right.
Can I fix bangs that came out too short?
Yes, mostly by waiting. Hair grows about 1 cm a month, and in the meantime you can pin them back or style them to one side with a little gel.
Do wispy bangs work on curly hair?
They can, but cut them dry and leave them longer than you want. Curls pull up a lot, so the fringe will look shorter once it dries.
