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
