How to Trim Layered Hair & Sideswept Bangs (Updated)

Happy New Year! I'm in the process of redoing past videos so this is one of them & decided to update this post too. I've been trimming my hair since high school and of course practice makes perfect. I actually didn't get my very first hair cut until I went to college and even then, I would take note of my stylist - how they cut, style - so that I could learn on my own next time I trim at home.

Whenever I get haircuts, I prefer to get blunt cuts and always mention to my stylist NOT to razor my hair. Even when they use scissors to do the razor-motion, I still say no bc this method will create split ends on ur hair. Also with blunt cuts, I find hair grow out much better in nice layers rather than jagged layers.

Products used:

Trimming Sheers (beauty stores)
Texturizing Sheers (beauty stores)
CHI 44 Iron Guard Heat Protectant Spray
Revlon Hot Air Brush
(bought at cvs, but no longer there so google for one)
CIBU Creative Paste

I also have one just on sideswept bangs


Enjoy!

    meeeeeeeeeeel, your bangs look great! i think its better to trim at home cause you know exactly what you want unlike at the hair salon .. they always try to pressure me to cut my hair shorter!!! hahaha i also love velcro rollers ;]

    Thank you so much Mel! I got bangs ~ 9 months ago and I always just let them grow out between cuts since I can't trim them myself, now I'm gonna try it myself! :D
