| How To Trim Your Hair
Peeking out from a bit of fringe is sexy.
Bang-induced blindness is not.
If you are not quite ready for a full
haircut, take things into your own hands:
"trimming your own bangs will keep your cut
looking fresh between salon visits", says
stylist Garren of the Garren New York salon.
He tells clients to trim about an eight of
an inch every month.
Here's how to do it at home:
First, grab a pair of straightedge
cuticle or mustache scissors. Style bangs as
usual and clip back the rest of your hair.
Start at the center of your bangs and work
your way to the outside.
Using your fingers, gently hold a small
section of dry hair - only about 10 to 12
hairs at a time - straight down against your
forehead. (Don't pull too tight - you'll
stretch the hair and end up cutting a lot
more)
Trim and cut below your fingers to keep from
cutting it shorter than you'd like.
When you are done trimming each section,
comb it back into the rest of your bangs to
check length (and that they are even) before
moving on.
When you reach the end, return to the center
and trim in the opposite direction until you
are done. |
