How to Cut Side Bangs | Easy DIY 2021

hey guys welcome back to my bathroom my name is brittany i'm a real hairdresser but today i'm going to be showing you how to cut your own face swimming bangs or side swept bangs in your bathroom by yourself before we begin make sure you subscribe to my youtube channel i post new cheap tricks for you every single week so for this you're going to need some hair you're going to need a clip any kind of comb i'm using a red tail comb because that's all i could find and you're going to need a pair of scissors or shears i am using a really inexpensive pair i'll link these below these are from sally's to be honest with you you can really use any kind of scissors for this like it's a pandemic we're going to start off by making a middle part like so is that in the middle that's close enough now we're going to make a triangle subsection in the bang or fringe area [Music] so you can see here this is a triangle now the hair that you have here is going to become your side swept bang so if this is extending all the way back that may not be a good idea for you and you may want to move it forward now you'll want to go ahead and put away the rest of your hair in a ponytail or a clip so we don't get confused as to what we're cutting you can cut this wet or dry if you're going to cut it wet this is where you go ahead and spray it with a spray bottle i am actually going to cut mine wet because i think it'll be easier for you to see but typically in the salon i would cut bangs dry but use your preference just be mindful that if you are cutting them wet that the hair will shrink up when it dries so especially if you have curly hair be really mindful of that now we're going to cut this triangle in half so we're just going to take the middle piece here go ahead and clip the rest of this up now we need to find a reference point on our face this is where our bang is going to be the shortest we're not doing straight across bangs we're doing long angular bangs or side swept bangs so you need to go through your face and find a reference point for me i'm going to be using my lips i have a round face shape and the ideal face shape is oval or elongated so to make that appear longer if i start my bang at my lip it's going to draw a tension and almost chisel it down a little bit we just trick people here if you're unsure about a reference point just use your lips or the bottom of your chin as a reference point but you need to pick one because this is how we're going to be able to make sure that these are even now you need to determine which way you want your side swept bangs to swing to or which way you part your hair majority of the time majority of the time i part mine over to the left so we're going to go ahead and run the comb through our hair making sure this little first section everything is in our little crab claws so we're going to take these crab claws our little pinchers and we're just going to pinch it okay and we're going to hug it to our face and what i mean by that is we're cutting against our face we're not over directing it out here that's going to change the haircut completely i'm going to bring my fingers down to my reference point which is again my lip area now because i part my hair to the left like i said i'm actually going to be over directing this to the right when we cut this in a straight line which we're going to do in a minute when we release this it's going to be long going too short and it's going to be swinging to my left okay are we ready repeat after me i can do this i will do this this is going to look fabulous hugging it to our face finding our reference point my lip area i'm going to over direct it to the opposite side my finger position is parallel to the floor or straight across when we cut these you are going to be cutting in a straight across movement your scissors or shears should be horizontal parallel to the floor you should not be making any angular movements you are lining up with your reference point for example i'm cutting straight to meet my lip going to cut straight across like so now when we release this like i was saying watch what happens [Music] we have short going too long don't worry about the harsh line it's going to create especially if you're using like scissors from the dollar tree or crafting scissors it's going to make a harsher line i'll show you how to clean that up at the end okay to move forward you're going to take your second oops excuse me you're going to take your second piece i'm going to re-wet mine and we're going to repeat the process you don't really have to worry about this hair you can use it as a guide or bring it down with you if you want and cut against it but because you have a reference point on your face you know where to cut to make these even so i'm actually just not even going to worry about that i'm going to comb this straight down hugging it against my face remember we're not out here we're over here finding the reference point my lip moving it out of its home and over directing it so i can create that angled effect wow that is not cute for me and we're cutting straight across okay and again when we release it it's short too long so you can see now we have an angled or long layered bang if you want them shorter find a different reference point on your face like maybe your nose and then cut them again but i would suggest starting off long and re-cutting versus just like starting at your eyeball because that's not cool now i'm gonna show you how to blend these bangs we're gonna do what's called point cutting it's just taking the scissors or the shears and going up up up up we are not going to the side so let me show you on the paper when you cut this you are literally going up you are not changing and you can barely see that but you are not changing the shape if you were to go to the side and start taking out pieces like such you are going to change the whole haircut we don't want to do that we're just trying to soften the line bring it down and i'm going to oh i missed a piece there i'm going to take my shear and i'm just going to lightly point cut up just the ends now i'm just gonna go through and blow dry this and show you so this is them styled and i also added face framing layers into this so it kind of lay on my face better make my hair look fuller if you want a video for that i'll link it up here and that just kind of tapers the bangs down and kind of adds so you don't have that bang and then a drop off if you have longer hair so thanks again for joining me here my bathroom make sure you subscribe i post new cheap tricks for you every single week and like the like button if you found this video helpful i will see you next week for something cool [Music] you
