Start with dry, styled hair
Gather sharp hair-cutting scissors, a fine-tooth comb, and clips
Section off the bangs you want to cut
Clip the rest of your hair away
Comb the bangs straight down
Decide the length you want, then cut less than that
Hold the hair between your fingers at the desired point
Cut small amounts at a time
Use small vertical snips for a softer edge
Check both sides for evenness
Trim gradually until the length looks right
Stop before cutting too short
Recheck in natural light
Style the bangs and make tiny adjustments if needed
