This is a quick tutorial on how to cut your own bangs for those rare times when you can’t get into your stylist. Note ~ I am not recommending that you get carried away and cut your own hair, But trimming your own bangs is sometimes necessary and can be done fairly easily so long as you follow these few guidelines. Oftentimes just a little bang trim can give you just the boost you need and create a feeling of a fresh cut and hold you over until salons are able to open again.
Message me if you need a little help charleenhess.com/hair-dresser...
Key points.
1. Style your bangs before you cut them (do not do them wet)
2. Use the sharpest scissors you can find
3. Do NOT continually cut the little hairs that hang down that are not already part of your bangs.
4. Cut little bits at a time. You can always take more off/ you can not put it back!
5. pinch together in a tight section for longer corners and a wide section for straight corners.
I have created a Virtual Salon where I can walk you through step by step how to take care of your or your family's hair while salons are closed.

Following on from my comment of a fortnight ago, I cut my wife's fringe using your excellent instructions and I'm still alive. That basically tells you everything, since she takes this sort of thing quite seriously.
I’ve been trimming my bangs for years but def learned something new watching this. Thank you.
So helpful! I love my stylists but sometimes life happens and I can't get to them in time; this is a lifesaver! Thank you so much for your generosity!
Literally SAVED my life and a trip to the salon!! Thank you for breaking down the process so clearly, so glad that my fringe isn't in my face anymore
You’re a life saver! Nobody wants to look like they had their Mom cut them when they were in 2nd grade....Thank you !! 🙏🏻 ❤️
Thank you for being the most rational, sane and reasonable hair artist out here! I couldn't bear to watch so many of these as they were done with bad instruction, bad lighting and too much drama. Thank you! Stay safe.
Denise Musser thank you. Hopefully it was helpful! Stay healthy and safe!
Agree totally! At last a normal hairdresser who only talks sensibly - no expletives-deleted 😲 a person you can actually trust to tell you what to actually DO, no fuss no overkill 😁😇
I've watched A LOT of how to cut your own bangs tutorials on UA-cam. This is one of the best I've seen. Very easy to follow. Thanks so much!
Wow, thank you! I am so glad it helped you!
@@CharleenHess I agree with that, the easiest and most informative ! I just did it
Agreed!!
@@CharleenHess @Charleen Hess is she in your home
Hi I'm nearly 40 and have never cut my own hair before tonight. Two weeks ago I got curtain bangs. My first fringe in 30 ish years. It was already getting in my eyes so I used your pinch method and successfully trimmed it just enough. You gave me the confidence to try to managed my fringe myself between hairdresser appointments. Thank you so much.
Thank you for sharing your experience. How wonderful. I’m so glad it worked for you!
I just cut my bangs tonight after having them grow for months and i was so depressed i didnt have bangs and i couldnt afford to go anyways, but now i have them back and theyre so cute, thank you so much for this incredible tutorial
this was genuinely the most helpful tutorial I've found!!
Agreed!
Best bang tutorial everrrr!!! Thank you!
Best video on cutting bangs ! You are amazing for offering help! Thank you so much!!!!!💕
I’ve watched a lot of bang tutorial and this by far is the best one. Thank you!
I’ve had bangs all my life (I’m 50) so I’m more than comfortable with cutting my own bangs..but I didn’t know about that trick with pulling them to a point so the outside edges are a little bit longer...thanks because that’s the way I like them 👍🏻.
You are so welcome! I am glad it worked! we keep learning every day!
I agree. This was actually simple and worked well!
I just came across your video. I've been trimming my own bangs most of my adult life, but I only knew how to cut straight across. I just trimmed them using your technique and it's exactly what I wanted. Thank you! 🤗
How wonderful! So glad it worked for you!
BEST TUTORIAL EVER FOR TRIMMING BANGS!!! THANK YOU!
I can finally see! I viewed several videos on how to trim your bangs & yours is by far the best & easiest to follow. I had an appointment to get my hair trimmed at Paul Mitchell School which I've been going to for years as I'm a senior on a fixed income & they do a great job. The day before my appointment they called & said they would be closing until April 1st due to Covid-19 & since it was the middle of March I thought I could swing it although my bangs were already kind of long. That was 2 months ago & being in Michigan, we are on an extended stay at home order until May 28th, which could be longer the way things are going here. I teased my bangs, curled my bangs, anything so they would stay out of my eyes but couldn't manage them anymore, until today. I was so nervous as I'm someone who has never done anything to my hair & freak out if I have short bangs, but I did it thanks to you! Now if only I could trim the rest as it's long & thick, but I'm not that crazy! To anyone who's contemplating attempting this, you've found the right video. Thank you!
Thank you so much!! 🥰This tutorial is one of the best I have ever seen! You included so many salon tips which makes it look more professionally done. My bangs look fantastic & I am thrilled! ♥️🍃🌷🍃♥️
Thank you from me in the Uk. I have never cut my hair before ever and this was really useful , clear and worked... will keep me going until I can get into a salon. 🙏🙏🙏
This was awesome. My bangs actually look better than when I go to the hair stylist. I never knew how to ask for what I wanted but that lift thing really lightened up the heaviness of my bangs. Great job!
Thank you. Your instructions are really good. I have just been and cut my fringe using your method and it looks excellent. I have always trimmed it between cuts just following what my hairdresser has done but this looks so much better.
Thanks for a perfectly explained lesson on fringe ( in Scotland ) trimming. Copied your method and am so happy with the result.
I just came across this video. It is by far the easiest and best video for my hair type. Tried it and it looks great. So helpful! Thank you!
I just back into the salon today to get my bangs trimmed, but you won be over with this video & I subscribed. How kind of you to "donate" your time and expertise during this challenging time. ❤️
Thank you so much from lockdown in Australia. I feel like a new person!🥰
Wonderful! So glad it was helpful!
I followed your steps, and my bangs came out just fine! Thank you so very much!
Thank you so much. Did mine and the end result was perfect. Best tutorial I found.
Thanks so much. I will be using this video to trim my bangs. Quite nervous to do it, but you have given me the tips I need to be more confident.
Great tutorial! I watched several others but yours was the best!
Perfect tutorial...you have saved my eyeballs and my stylist will not cry when next I see her. Thank you for the easy to follow lesson...
You're so welcome! Hope you get to see them soon!
fingers crossed we can open soon!
Just did a trim and it’s the best I’ve ever done! THANK YOU! (I’m sure my hair stylist will thank you as well when I finally get to see her!
You are so welcome! I hope you get to see her SOON! in the meantime keep up the good work.
I often travel for months at a time and I wish I had seen this video before! Thank you for the clear and concise method! I will probably doing this in a week or so!!!
Glad it was helpful! have fun with it!
So glad I found you as I was ready to start cutting out of desperation! I watched twice, once to learn and then had you on while I cut in front of the mirror, following your guidelines. I had to use my little cuticle scissors... yet ended up with great bangs! With all the human suffering going on, it may seem silly, but I feel so much better on a gray, rainy day in Oregon. Stay safe, and thank you!
I feel you! every little bit counts! here in the PNW too! Glad it helped!
I've been trimming my own bangs since before COVID because I have very long hair that I normally only get cut every 6 months or so. I've done a "passable" job but this will improve my way substantially. Thank you!
Enjoyed watching this tutorial. You did an excellent job with no drama. I am keeping this up as I need to cut my bangs. Thank you.
This video is THE best bang trimming tutorial I've seen hands down. Thank you so much! I was a first timer and, using your method, they turned out great!
Yay I am so glad you did it and it worked! you'll soon be a pro!
This is the best I've seen on doing this. Thank you
This is brilliant, thank you! I followed it during the first lockdown and I’m following again during this one. Clear instructions with no faff and a great explanation if the why for each step. Thank you 🙏🏻
I’m so glad it’s worked for you!
This was EXACTLY what I needed, great teacher and student! Well done, and very much needed at this time!
Thank you! I am so glad it helped!
You're a star. Thanks! No more bad fringe days.
You are a life saver. The best video ever . I did mine myself and it’s perfect
Yay! so glad it worked! we all need a little help
Thank you Charleen, the tip about keeping the corners longer is great! I know you made this video months ago but this will really help me as Scotland has gone into lockdown again. Thank you from me and my fringe 😊💕
Yeah I did it right only because of your clear instructions and options. Thank you 👍🏽 keep well and safe
Thank you so much, great teaching skills ! I am very pleased with the result.
Thank you for taking the time and helping us
Thank you so much! I really needed help. I will implement the recommendations, tomorrow!!!
Finally a great tutorial that makes sense 👏👏❤️
Oh wow -- thank you SO much for that -- I will be doing that tomorrow x
Fabulous. My wife has asked me to cut her fringe and I was terrified! Hopefully now all will be well. Thanks a lot.
Thank you so much!!! I cut my own bangs and with your guidance I did a pretty good job!!
Thank you for this! I had to cut my own bangs today and they turned out pretty good thanks to you!
That is great! Share with a friend!
I just got bangs a year ago and have gone to my stylist every 5 weeks or so for a trim. With the COVID-19 shutdown, it has been almost 2.5 months since my last trim! I was starting to look like cousin it. I tried wearing them to the side and I tried clipping them back, but I was never happy with them. This video was so helpful!!! I've never cut my own hair and this was very easy to do! THANK YOU!!!
Rachel Pace You are so welcome. I’m glad you were able to take care of them yourself.
Thank you!! If only I could post my before and after picture lol this was the best explanation for me and worked out beautifully. I like it with the points on the side too. Again thank you for NOT be if scared to share this wth us!
Glad it helped!
This is SO helpful!!! (And I've tried from a lot of videos....some with not-so-great results!). Great directions and turned out great!! Thank you!!
Thanks so much for this video. Best, most comprehensive and easy to follow video I’ve seen. Funny how I didn’t think twice about parasailing or skiing, but am terrified to cut my own bangs.
Thank you so much for making this so easy.. You have made me look normal again 😊
Thank you! Super-helpful tutorial and my bangs actually look good!
Thank you so much, as my wife left for work this morning, she said she would like me to trim her fringe this weekend, last weekend I coloured her hair for the first time and she was really pleased with the out come. Thank you for the great advice and tips in your video.
Richard Petts thats Awesome.
I love empowering couples to help take care of each other! I taught friend how to cut her husband’s hair recently to save money and she’s becoming a pro!
We love a supportive husband!! 💜🙌
You are a great hubby!
I just watched and used your technique!! My bangs came out great!! The best I ever did at home!! Thanks for sharing!!!!
catherine0906 so glad it worked for you!
I just cut my fringe while watching you teach me, thank you!!!
Definetly enjoyed watching and learned a little. Although it's still nerve wracking to do. I miss getting my hair done this is my me time and therapy. I can't wait until some restrictions ease up.
This worked great! Thank you, thank you thank you!!
Excellent. Very specific techniques. I'm thrilled to have trimmed my own bangs by following this video. Two other points: have sharp scissors, it's harder when you have to take off your glasses while you make the cuts. Thank you. Thank you.
Glad it was helpful! yes hard to see if you take your glasses off. maybe use a magnifying mirror.
Thank you!! This was very helpful & Thorough.
OH wow thank you so much Very kind of you to help us during this time Bangs here I come Stay safe
THANK YOU! I wish I had done before and after pics.... I was scared but I am happy with it!
Thank you for this video! I have bangs and I do have curly hair so this is nice to know how to really cut my bangs and make them look professionally done. Very kind and thoughtful for you to put yourself out there to help so many people during the stressful time. Thanks again stay safe and well :-)
You are so welcome! Thank you for your kind comment. Much appreciated!
Thank you to you and your friend, I just cut my wife’s bangs and I’m still alive! If you two ladies ever come over to England, I will buy you both all coffee and bagels you can drink and eat!!! Many thanks again, you are both wonderful!!!!
Anthony Hicks that’s wonderful! Nicely done. And I will take you up on your offer when I am in England I will look you up! Stay healthy and safe!
Thank you for a friendly, thoughtful, excellent tutorial. Very helpful!
Thank you! I am glad you liked it!
This was super helpful!!
Thank you so much! My hair itself does not need to be cut but my bangs do and it drives me bananas! Best video! Everybody else cuts them wet I appreciate that you’re showing it dry because I am not very talented- I would totally have screwed it up!
glad this empowered you to do it for yourself!
Great. just what i needed. I think my hairdresser does mine this way. Turned out good.
So glad!
Thanks Charleen. Like others, I watched other videos which did more to confuse me than to help. I just finished cutting my wife's fringe (locked down in Australia) following your instructions and she's more than happy. I might go into business! ;-) Thanks again! Mark (Yes, fellas, even a man can do it!) LOL
Thank you for this video!!! Very helpful and easy to follow
Thank you for the video !!!!
Need to cute my nieces bangs !!! She watched you and now we are going to do it !!!!
Colleen Mauler awesome! Report how it goes!
This is my hairstyle, I love curly hair, I wear a fringe. I will use the pinch method next time I trim, I have used the point cutting too. My hair is fine but wavy.
Very helpful video. I didn't cut much off, but even a little made a great difference. Thanks to your model, too.
You're welcome! you can always go back and cut more. Glad it helped
Charlene, Your Video is #1 for trimming Bangs. You get right to the point, easy, simple, and I have trimmed my own bangs for the 2nd time Today with Success. Other Videos on Trimming Bangs go on and on and make it into a long dragged out process when it shouldn't be for the Style you show. Thank you for Sharing.
Thank you so much for your feedback! I appreciate your kind words I’m glad that it was helpful!
Excellent tutorial. Thanks so much 🤩
This is so helpful my fringe had like reached the end of my nose and I needed to cut it soooooo bad 🙏🏻
Thank you so much for your easy, reassuring approach. I've taken a deep breath and trimmed my fringe for the first time ever. In fact I did it 3 times because I hadn't taken enough length off but much better that way than being horrified! I feel so much better, such a shame that I can't do my colour too but if I home colour my hairdresser won't touch my hair again
Alison Schofield I’m so glad it worked. Yes, baby steps works good. You can always take more off but you can’t put it back. I’m sorry you were not able to do your color as well. I would think your hairdresser would understand and such times like this. Hopefully Salon’s will open soon and you can get back to regular appointments
Thank you, this was very helpful!
Charleen, Your calm, clear directions were the BEST. Tried bringing my bangs to a point and trimmed sparingly. They turned out just great with outside edges slightly longer. Thank you for sharing while our professionals are "on hold"
Thought this was the best! Thank you
EXCELLENT TUTORIAL THANK YOU!
