- Always cut bangs dry. Wet hair shrinks up once it dries and you could be left with a too-short fringe. For full bangs, begin above the iris of one eye and work toward the other.
- Chip into the fringe in small sections— you can always take more if needed, but you can't add it back once it's been cut!
- If you want sweeping bangs, you'll move in the same iris-to-iris motion, but you'll begin cutting from above the bridge of the nose
- For longer bangs that can be either tucked behind the ear or pulled into a ponytail, you'll trim at the tip of your upper lip
