- Leave the chicken scissors in the kitchen drawer and buy yourself a sharp pair of hair scissors. Remember too that the shorter the blade the easier they'll be to control.
- You're going to need to trim your bangs when they're dry (wet strands shrink when dry and this can make trimming your bangs the perfect length a little tricky). Wash your hair, towel dry, de-tangle and apply an anti-frizz product if necessary; then blow-dry bangs completely dry.
- Clip the rest of your hair out of the way of your bangs then divide your bangs into three even sections.
- Get ready to start snipping- and make sure you keep still. Start in the middle section and, with your scissors at a 45 degree angle, make small snips backwards and forwards until the strands are the length you like.
- Unclip the right section and use the middle section as a reference point; now unclip the left section and repeat.
- You're finished: style your hair as desired!
