Bangs are a pretty big deal because of how visible they are, so it’s important to be extra careful to avoid having to grudgingly hide them with pins and headbands until your hair grows back. Whether the desire to cut your own bangs is driven by a sudden impulse or by the inability to go to a professional, a few simple techniques can drastically improve your hair-cutting experience. This particular temptation often bubbles up in the middle of the night when no one is around to offer their wisdom or to simply say, “At least wait until the salon opens up.” Mere minutes after watching a YouTube video where a very foxy Ana de Armas sports her brand new short fringe, the kitchen scissors have been unleashed for a proper 2 a.m.
Sometimes the urge to look like a brand new person can seem impossible to resist, especially when it’s so simple to fulfill.
