Your hair is a big part of your look.While most men don't mind how their bangs are styled, they might be surprised to learn how much effect fringe can have when properly coiffed.It's recommended that every man has a working knowledge of how to keep their hair trimmed and styled in order to be presentable.The most important thing to remember when touching up your own bangs is to cut a little at a time, create the right shape and find a style that works for you.
Step 1: Pick the look you want to achieve.
You should have an idea of what style you're going for before you cut your hair.Do you work in a place where you are expected to keep your hair neat?Are you imagining yourself with a ruffled aesthetic?It is possible to determine the best length, shape and style for your bangs with a plan.When choosing a cut, consider your hair's texture, thickness, wave pattern and natural part.
Step 2: The right kind of scissors are used.
A pair of scissors with small blades and a smooth cutting action is a good investment.Since smaller blades don't take off as much hair at one time, it will be easier to fine-tune your cut.You'll be less likely to damage the hair if you use a pair of clippers that aren't designed for cosmetic use.The mustache or scissors are well-suited for this purpose.The sharper the scissors, the better.A cleaner cut and preventing damage to the shaft of the hair can be achieved by using sharp scissor blades.
Step 3: Take care of your hair.
Start with a clean head of hair.If you want to tame your hair, wash it with warm water, rinse thoroughly, and run a comb through it.You can make sure the cuts you make are straight and precise by doing that.It is possible to make hair look and feel better by treating it with a conditioner.Take your hair out of your face.It will be easier to section off and grab hold of with this.
Step 4: Take care of your hair while it's damp.
Before giving your bangs a shape-up, don't wait for your hair to dry completely.Since it will be more malleable and have a little added weight, hair is easiest to cut and style.If you want to take off unwanted length, you should wash your hair, wring it out, or pat it gently with a towel.If your hair draws up as it dries, it will look shorter.It's important to be careful about how much you clip.If you're touching it up, wet it with a spray bottle.
Step 5: Pick out the hair you want to trim.
The hair in front of the temples can be clipped evenly from one side to the other.If you're cutting around a side part or going for more of a tapered style, make sure to adjust the length of your hair around the forehead and ears.It is possible to decide where the most hair needs to be trimmed with a specific style goal.Shoot for a shape that frames your face and highlights your strongest features.Your hair will drape where it's the longest.
Step 6: Run a comb through hair.
Only about half an inch of strands are exposed if the comb is stopped just short of the ends.The comb will act like the guard on an electric razor, preventing scissor-related accidents and giving you greater control over the outcome of the cut.Lift the hair up and away from the head.If you want to grab and hold more hair, use a fine-toothed comb.
Step 7: The hair should be cut at an angle.
A blunted look can be caused by cutting a section of hair straight across.This is the last thing you want to do to your hair.If you want to chop at the ends of the hair, hold the scissors to the comb and use the tip.Lighter, more textured layers are created by cutting at an angle.Make sure the ends of the hair are the same length.
Step 8: Use small scissors.
Unlike cutting a piece of paper, where you use the entire length of the scissor blades as the cutting surface, when cutting hair, you want to keep your movements conservative.Take off a small amount of hair with each pass.You are less likely to make mistakes than you would be if you hacked off huge chunks with long, sawing strokes.If you want to remove more than a quarter inch of hair at a time, try not to.
Step 9: It's best to work slowly and deliberately.
Don't get rushed while trimming your hair.Make sure everything is symmetrical by starting with the front and top of the crown.Look in the mirror and cut a little bit at a time.It's important to remember that once the hair is gone, you can't get it back.Don't be on the side of caution.A couple centimeters can make a difference.Be patient.It's best to trim slowly and carefully.
Step 10: It's important to keep your hair neat.
Whether you work in an office or just want to look a little more put together, a sleek fringe conveys order and maturity in a way that bedhead can't.If you want to emphasize symmetry and cuts, wear your bangs on the short side.For a clean cut, your bangs should be the same length in the front as they are on top.If you don't trim your hair frequently, it will get bushy over your ears and neck.
Step 11: Go with a tousled look.
Men like the character of messy bangs.These styles are modern, low-maintenance and just wild enough to make you feel good.If they're not too shaggy, tousled hair is suitable for both casual and professional environments.It can go from cool to unkempt in a short time.Use a dime-sized amount of low hold hair gel or pomade to keep cowlicks and flyaways under control.To give these styles focus, bring them to a point near the center of the forehead.You won't have to worry about looking unkempt all over.
Step 12: Work around it.
Men with distinctive parts can change the lengths of their hair on the opposite side of the part.If you have a deep part on the left side of your face, it's better to leave the hair on your right side longer than it is to cut it to a uniform length.The portion between the outer edges of the eyebrows should be kept the same length as the ears.If you need to cut a dressier image, slick the longer side of the part back.You can find your natural part by combing your hair straight up or down.
Step 13: Curled hair should be cut in the back and sides.
As the hair grows out, it can assume a puffy mushroom shape.To combat this, trim the hair behind the ears and around the temples and save the length for the front and uppermost portions of the crown.Men with long hair can look like they lost a fight with a blowdryer with staggered-length cuts.The back and sides of your head can be shaped with an electric razor.Pull your bangs down and forward with a small amount of pomade or a comb.
