Before starting to cut your bangs, gather your supplies: You’re going to need a comb, a couple of large hair clips, and a pair of sharp, pointed stainless steel scissors that are about 6.5 inches long. “The craft scissors that your kids cut paper with aren’t going to cut it, literally, and neither are tiny cuticles scissors,” says Carrion. (You can get a good, inexpensive pair online or at a drugstore.) Give yourself 30 minutes for your mini haircut, so you can work calmly and carefully. “It’s never a good idea to trim your bangs in a rush right before you need to race out of the house,” Carrion says.
