Any hair professional will tell you to avoid cutting your own bangs, but if you already have your scissors at the ready, here's how to cut your bangs the right way.
Sharing her step-by-step guide, Contato says: "Start by sectioning away the hair you're not cutting, then wet your bangs and comb them so they fall directly in front of your face. The wetness will allow the elasticity of the hair to fully stretch, so you'll be achieving an even cut. Cut the middle section to the desired length you choose — bear in mind that this section will be the shortest point of your bangs.
"Once happy with the length of your middle section, add in the sides, one side at a time, whilst angling your fingers so that you have a short to long gradient. Over-directing the sides to the middle of the face helps to maintain the most amount of length as possible," she adds.
"You can reduce the weight by slicing into the bangs with your scissors. This ensures a softer finish, allowing the bangs to sweep away more effortlessly," Contato explains. Complete your bangs by blow drying and styling.
