Lately several clients have asked me the best technique for maintaining their bangs at home. There a many different technique's, it really depends on your hair type and desired style.Although most salons offer free clean ups on bangs&fringe and I recommend you see your stylist for these things, I understand some schedules may not allow for a trip to the salon every time.So this post is for those of you who can't make it to the salon and if you're going to DIY it here are some tips I think are most important.
- Trim your bangs with your hair styled how you wear it most. If your hair is always styled straight make sure its styled and straight when you trim your bangs.Your hair expands when wet & shrinks when dry so trimming on dry hair will allow you more control.
- Section your bangs off. Starting with less hair will allow you to create a guide for you to follow.
- Stand in front of a mirror.When trimming your bangs, avoid pulling them out in front of you so you can try to see them. Let your hair rest on your face and follow your guide.
- Sharpen your scissors. Be sure you are using scissors which are meant only for hair. You may want to visit your local beauty supply store so you avoid those desperate moments where you turn to any scissors laying around.
*Before you take scissors to your hair, check out the video clips below for good tips on how to trim your bangs at home.The first video post for each bang type is showed first by a stylist, the second video clip is done by a client just like yourself, so if they can do it, I'm sure you can too.
Good luck, let me know how it goes!
