Hi, I'm T. Cooper. I'm a makeup artist, hairstylist and co-founder of Metro Look. Today, I'm going to talk to you about a cutting guide for long hair with bangs. Now bangs are something that are kind of personal to each person because some people like bangs that are kind of short, kind of like that '40s Betty Grable kind of thing. Some like them long right above their eyes, some like the slanted bang and some like long bangs. So the first thing you need to do when you are cutting any bangs is figure out what you want to do. So if my model wanted a side bang, we would section the hair off to whatever side that she cuts her hair and then you'd ask her if she wants it longer, like a longer layer like a graduated layer or if she wants a straight across even bang. So then you would take your shears and then you would section it off like so. We're not going to cut her hair this time though, next time, but if she wanted a full on fringe, you would take the hair and section it from right about the top of your head and comb all the hair forward and then once you talk to your hairstylist or if you are doing it yourself, you'd kind of decide where you want your bangs to fall but my rule of thumb is wherever you want your bangs to fall you cut them just maybe a half an inch longer because once you curl them, they're going to bounce up a little bit. So say she wanted her bangs to hit her right there, I'd cut the bang right there and I would go straight across in a motion and once you cut a line in a bang, you want to comb your hair in different directions just to see where they fall because you want to make sure no matter what angle your bangs fall at, that they are going to be nice and even. So I hope this helps you out. I'm T. Cooper, and I just showed you a guideline for cutting bangs on long hair.
