How to Cut Round Bangs
Cutting round bangs can be a great way to add some flair and redefine your hairstyle. Round bangs frame your face beautifully, softening your features and giving you a fresh, new look. If you’re ready to start cutting, follow these ten easy steps in order to achieve perfect round bangs.
1. Gather your tools: You’ll need a comb, hair clips, sharp hair-cutting scissors, and a mirror.
2. Wash and dry your hair: For best results, wash your hair and then dry it with a towel until it’s damp but not soaking wet.
3. Comb and section your hair: Comb your hair to remove any tangles or knots, and use the tail of the comb to create a triangular section at the front of your head where you want the bangs to begin. Clip back the rest of your hair to keep it out of the way.
4. Decide on the length of your bangs: Consider how long you want your round bangs to be – they can be cheekbone length or even shorter. Hold the tip of your nose in line with where you want them to finish as a reference.
5. Cut straight across: Hold the bangs between two fingers with moderate tension and use the scissors to cut straight across just below this point. Don’t pull the hair too tight or it will bounce up when released, resulting in shorter bangs than intended.
6. Begin rounding the shape: To create a rounded effect, trim towards one side of the section at an angle, following the shape of your forehead. Be cautious not to cut too much – it’s easier to trim off more later than fix overly short bangs.
7. Repeat on the other side: Mirror what you did on one side for the other half of the bangs section.
8. Check for symmetry: Make sure that both sides of your round bangs are even and symmetrical. Adjust if necessary by carefully trimming any inconsistencies.
9. Soften and texturize: Use the tip of the scissors to snip into the ends of your bangs, creating a softer, more natural look. This will also help blend the bangs seamlessly into the rest of your hair.
10. Style your new round bangs: Blow-dry your bangs using a round brush, and add some styling products if desired to hold them in place. You can also use a flat iron to further define the shape and eliminate any irregularities.
And there you have it – ten simple steps to cut your own round bangs! Remember to be patient and cautious with each snip, especially if this is your first attempt. With a little practice, you’ll quickly master the art of cutting perfect round bangs at home.
