Let it be said at once, the operation is risky: to cut only its bangs is far from being an easy exercise, testify the numerous tutos of "failures" that abound on the Internet!

We all remember the tutorial of the blogger Envy Deladyd, who became famous for practically slicing her bangs with lawn mowers in front of millions of Internet users. General Hilarity, panic and disbelief at the result on the side of the person concerned.

Refresh a bang, a gesture "very technical"

"Every day there are disasters in the living rooms because of the girls who think they are professionals.The risk of missing out is very important.Making a fringe, or even refreshing it, is a very technical gesture, which requires a lot of control "says Sylver Boll, director of training Franck Provost

We still managed to find four tutorials in which the result is rather successful (provided you take a few precautions).

The analysis of the strengths and weaknesses of these techniques by our hair expert.

How to cut your own bangs: Noémi Schwartz's tutorial

Preparation: take a pair of good scissors and start on dry, clean hair. Why dry? In order not to err on the length (the hair goes up naturally when they dry). We attach the rest of the hair to clear the fringe that we want to cut.

The steps: with the hand that does not hold the scissors, we pinch the bangs between the index finger and the middle finger to cut "picket" with the scissors vertically. This allows to have a slightly degraded effect. Depending on the desired length, it is adjusted by always cutting in the same way. To add a little thick in case of thicker side, we take a few locks in the lengths, whose birth is at the level of the fringe.

The opinion of the expert

The : "Even if it's not right (the fringe is shorter on the right than on the left), the result is not catastrophic."

The -: "The risk is huge to work by show of hands: you can cut too much by not controlling the line of cut, and especially get hurt by having a vision biased by the reflection in the mirror."

Bianco Gover's technique to cut his bangs

The steps: better start by cutting longer and first clear the hair to define the location of the bangs.

We draw a line in the middle and we draw, with the future fringe, a triangle: it allows to have a balanced fringe.

Depending on the thickness of the hair and the desired thickness of the fringe, we draw the triangle more or less far. Once the triangle is drawn, make sure that the bangs are equal on each side of the line.

We draw lightly on the fringe and with the dominant hand (the one holding the scissors) and we catch the wick between the index finger and middle finger a little below the desired length (under the eyebrows, for example).

There is only twister the wick and recover with the other hand (the one who does not hold the scissors).

We finish by cutting just under the fingers that must be tight and we favor real scissors professionals. To remove the right side of the bangs, cut the points slightly holding the chisel vertically.

The opinion of the expert

The : "She gives the good advice to start by cutting longer and it correctly explains the separation in triangle.It cuts slightly the points, it is a positive point, even if it is necessary to be careful not to hurt itself: the reflection in the mirror is dangerous, it is rather successful, we feel that it controls rather well its actions, which is not the case for everyone.

The -: "Attention, the idea of ​​cutting on dry hair by smoothing and exerting tension is not recommended, because it does not control the elasticity of the hair and we risk cutting too short. It is also the case here, reinforced by the presence of an ear. a fringe: it requires a daily maintenance quite restrictive.

How to maintain your bangs at home: Naturally Lyla's tutorial

Preparation: choose good scissors and a comb. Select the part that will compose the bangs, without it going too much to the side.

The steps: by holding the bangs between two fingers, we cut at first the right bangs, going gradually and cutting quite long.

Then, we take his wick in the air by always holding it between two fingers. Leave a margin of about two or three centimeters, then cut in spikes on the tips of the wick, holding the scissors on top for a tapered effect. We obtain a cascade effect.

We then readjust the length, repeating the same gestures, from right to left.

Finally, Youtubeuse selects a wick only in the middle to cut it a little shorter and to clear more his eyes. The main thing is to pay attention, to go little by little: we cut, we look, we cut, we look.

To know: Naturally Lyla has her bangs cut at the barber about every 4 months, but she only maintains her bangs about once a month. It's more of a wick than a bang.

The opinion of the expert

The : "The idea of ​​perpendicular picketing is good." To obtain a gradient, picketing is also a good idea, even if it may cut your fingers.

The -: "Attention, she does not take good scissors! Do not cut her hair with scissors or kitchen scissors ... She pulls too much on her hair, and the risk of withdrawal is too important It may end up with a result too short! We must also avoid isolating a wick in the middle of the front to cut individually, because we lose the homogeneity of the fringe and we risk creating breaks ... and a disaster !"

The tips of Rosebud to make a bangs

The preparation: the advice here is to blow-dry before cutting, to know exactly where the bangs will fall. The wick is removed and the rest of the hair is tied into a ponytail .

The steps: we bring our wick in front of the face. With the tip of the comb, draw a vertical line from the top of the eyebrow to the tip of the hair. This is where the fringe must "begin". Repeat on the other side. This is a landmark, but it is not mandatory to draw a perfectly straight line.

We still bring the lock in front of the face and trace a straight line to delimit the birth of the fringe. The thickness of the bangs should not exceed 3-4 centimeters.

Comb the wick and catch it between two fingers, then twister it before holding it with the other hand to release the one holding the scissors. The twist allows to give an asymmetrical movement to the wick, without being uncomfortably installed to hold the scissors.

With a pair of professional scissors, start cutting gradually, with small continuous openings of the scissors, giving the desired movement to the ground. We go really little by little not to miss.

Then, cut the points in picket to taper, holding the scissors vertically. We think to keep enough length for styling and then readjust if it's still too long.

The opinion of the expert

The : "She is very methodical and precise in her preparation, she is very meticulous to limit the risk of error.She chooses to twister her bangs, but as she wants to create an asymmetry, it is not a problem. She handles the scissors correctly, remaining in the continuity of her gesture without creating a break that "marks" the hair.Its picket gesture is good, it allows to lighten the mass a little.It is overall very technical!

The -: "She also uses the wrong pair of scissors ..."
