Introduction
Many salons offer free bang touch-up and trimming
services for their regular established customers.
Not only does it build customer loyalty, it provides
your hairdresser with the opportunity to tell you about
all the latest new styles and hair care products.
It also helps prevent customers from cutting their own
bangs and making a hair mess.
If you are unsure if you qualify for this service,
ask your hairdresser the next time your visit. Of
course not all hairdressers or salons offer this type of
service, but it never hurts to ask.
Even when the services are available to loyal
customers, many do not take advantage of the option.
Why? Mainly time constraints. Taking the
time to get to the salon for the service may be more of
a hassle for many people than actually taking the
scissors to their hair at home.
If you are one of those people with a jam packed schedule and
pesky overgrown bangs, you can benefit from learning to trim your
own fringe in the privacy of your bathroom.
Follow the steps below to trim your own (existing)
bangs:
1. Never try and cut your bangs while your hair
is bone dry. Wet your hair with a spray or
spritzer bottle.
2. Using your fingers, separate out a small
section of hair (approximately 1/2 to 1" of hair) from
the rest of the fringe. Pull the section of hair down as
far down as possible.
3. Twist the section of hair one time.
4. Trim the section just below your eyes.
Always cut about an inch longer than the line you
want. They will bounce up a bit. If it turns
out to be too long, you can go back over it, but always
err on the long side.
