How To Cut Wispy Bangs – Step-By-Step Tutorial
What You Need
- Rat-tailed comb
- Hair cutting scissors
- Hair clip
- Flat iron
How To Do
- Blow dry your hair before you start to give your hair the needed texture and lightness for wispy bangs.
- Gather hair from the mohawk section and straighten it in thin sections.
- Comb down this section of hair, allowing it to fall on your face. Arrange it as you would like the bangs. Keep in mind that wispy bangs are parted and light bangs.
- Pick up a thin section of hair at the center of the bangs. Hold it close to your face, so it’s cut at the right length.
- Take your scissors and point them downwards. Open your scissors so that the hair is almost at the end. Open and close your scissors lightly as you move them down your hair, making sure never to close them completely. This will give your bangs a feathered look.
- Similarly, cut the rest of your bangs, keeping them shorter in the middle and longer at the sides.
- Comb the bangs as you’d like.
