You are the cutest! I love this tutorial. my sister has used this same technique on my bangs in the past and it absolutely works!

Thats exactly how I cut my bangs... the only thing different is that I cut mine so they are the legth down to my upper lip as I part my hair a bit lower.

Great tutorial.

I just tried this because the last time I got a haircut they didn't cut it short enough. It totally works! Thank you so much!

It's called over-directing. You did a great job. :)

I tried this (thanks for the post) but it didn't turn out as nicely as yours. But perhaps that's only because I have never cut my own hair before and feel that people can see that I did it myself.

Fortunately I moved on to the tutorial for braiding you bangs so I could hide my bad haircut ;)

This may have just changed my life. I, too, am always growing out my bangs and then cutting them. When I re cut them, the stylist takes several tries to get them the way I want. I just ran up to my bathroom and tried those and PERFECTION! Thanks you! You have another loyal follower on Pinterest.

Just found your tutorial on pinterest. Thank you Thank you! I've been looking for something like this. I know I can trim my own bangs but didn't know how to do the sideswept bang. You did a great job of explaining!

Thank you I have been trying to do something new instead of straight bangs but not knowing how to get them to the side. When i go to get them cut they dont understand i am trying to get them to grow out some! Thank you loved your tutorial very sweet!<3

thanks for this tutorial! i trimmed my bangs for the first time today using this as my guide! it didn't come out as disastrous as my husband was expecting it to be. :))

Thanks for this tutorial. last Feb. my bangs got too long. I just grabbed the scissors, pulled my hair up and whacked them off. Oh my gosh, what a mistake. My bangs were totally uncontrollable. I went to a hair dresser the next week and she tried to fix them but they still are stupid. They curl up and look ridiculous. I wish I could get them to grow out so I can fix them but my hair only grows about 1/4 inch a month. This will take forever. Thanks for the video. I'm going to do this from now on.

Ah, this is SO helpful!! I have extremely long hair, and wanted something that would let me have a longer bang (mine falls under my chin, even after cutting). I just did your method, and it looks great!

Thanks! I've been trimming my bangs for a while and I'm going to do it your way today.I can never style mine awesomely. Can you do a video on how you STYLE your side swept bangs? Or is the secret in the cut?!

Could you post a list of different kind of bangs and their names.
I'm sure lots of people would benefit from it.
Thanks!

Thank You so much Melissa! I have tried several types of bangs and had several different people cut them, but I always hated it, but I don't like having no bangs either. I followed this tutorial and it has been several weeks now and I LOOOOOOVE them! For the first time ever I love bangs on me!

Keep up the good work. You're awesome! :)
