How to Cut Curtain Bangs Step by Step

Do you dare to try cutting curtain bangs yourself? If so, you're in luck because we're about to guide you through a step-by-step tutorial on how to achieve this trendy hairstyle.

The 70s-inspired curtain bangs, also known as Bardot bangs, have been a staple of many fashionistas for quite some time. And if you're feeling the urge to join the bandwagon, now's your chance.

Before we dive into the cutting process, let's get one thing straight – styling tips are crucial when it comes to curtain bangs. To keep your bangs looking fabulous, use a mini flat iron to style the ends and add a tiny amount of shine serum to give them a smooth but piecey look.

Now that you're ready, let's start cutting! Begin by sectioning off a triangle of hair from the center of your head, starting about 1 inch or 1.5 inches back from your forehead. Divide the triangle into thin horizontal layers and take down each layer individually.

For the side pieces, leave out two 1/2 inch sections on either side of the triangle and clip them aside for now. These longer sections will blend seamlessly into the rest of your hair once you've cut the bangs.

To achieve the signature wispy ends, move over a bit and repeat the process of cutting horizontal layers, then vertical layers. Take a piece from the first layer as a reference point to ensure your cuts are even.

As you work your way through the triangle, remember to hold your scissors facing down towards the floor and trim starting at the side closest to your eyes. This will help create a seamless blend between the bangs and the rest of your hair.

When cutting the edges of your bangs, start longer because you can always go shorter if needed. Repeat this process until you reach the desired length, leaving the outside sections longest.

Finally, take down the next thin horizontal layer and cut up into the bottom 1/2 inch of hair using vertical cuts. This technique will give your bangs a more natural-looking finish.

And that's it! With these steps, you should be able to achieve curtain bangs that are as stylish as they are easy to maintain. Remember to always cut slightly longer than you think you want your bangs to be, and don't be afraid to experiment with different lengths until you find the perfect style for you.

So, what are you waiting for? Take out those scissors and start cutting – your new curtain bangs are just a few steps away!
