Straight Fringe Tutorial

 Wow, so many people are curious about my fringe! Who would have thunk!?
Well, I decided to let it grow out so I can show you how I cut my bangs~

What you will need:

 Comb
Sharp scissors, if you have dull scissors it may lead your hair to breakage~ the sharper the better!

OR!

 Fringe guide clip [bought at my local Japanese market]
Layering scissors/thinning scissors [also bought at my local Japanese market]
Comb

Optional:

 Hair tie
Clips

 First step will be to section your front strands for your fringe.
Starting at your temples create a triangle shape that meets in the middle. Please use your own discretion  on how deep you want your fringe to go. Mine is roughly one inch in..

 Personally, I like to clip the rest of my hair back so I won't snip any of the wrong pieces and also tying my hair back to keep from more hair getting in my way and in my face...

I will start with the basic scissor and comb method.

 Take your comb and comb it through your hair keeping the distribution as even as possible.
Make sure your comb is completely even and lateral.

Work in small sections and compare where you cut from a few hairs from the previous section.

 ^^ like so... so bring in a small chunk from the previous section onto the brush and use them as a measuring point for the other hairs....

 Also, please cut in a diagonal like so. It'll keep your bangs looking wispy and less harsh and thick/blunt at the edges.

 Ooh~ Nice straight fringe, compared to the left side which is hasn't been cut.
[you may need to go at a few hair wisps if you've missed any]

Next method  is the fringe clipping aid.

 Unhook the clip and spread your hair evenly into the teeth.

 Lock the clip and slide it to where you want to start clipping and make sure that your clip is straight.

[please use scissors and cut diagonally like in the previous example.]

 Then, you can go in with the thinning scissors and thin out the bang tips, for more movement.

 ^^ like so~

 No matter what method you use, you should end up with a nice straight fringe.
ALSO

Please under estimate! It's much better to cut less hair and even it out or cut slightly higher from there..
If you cut too high or too much there's not much you can do about it!
So please use caution!

Also, mind that practice makes perfect.

 I like to curl my bangs and slightly tease them for more volume and to make them look heavy to frame my face well~

And instantly, my face is framed and looks younger and smaller.
[Also, much neater;;]
I love my fringe, maybe you should try it too?
Once you get the hang of it, it's not too hard~
