Step 1
**IF YOU STUFF THIS UP IT IS NOT MY FAULT.**
READ INSTRUCTIONS THROUGHLY BEFORE STARTING. ONLY CUT TINY AMOUNTS OF HAIR OFF AT A TIME. USE SHARP SCISSORS. I AM NOT A PROFESSIONAL, IM JUST A KID MESSING AROUND WITH HER HAIR.

Alright then! Whos ready for a new fringe (bangs)?
Step 2
Please excuse the crappy hair do and lack of make up. I did this pretty early this morning and couldnt really be bother with make up and such. Also, the pics are pretty bad, but dont be afraid.. I dont bite, much mwahahahaha.

Okay, you will need a bit of knowledge of cutting hair, but I'll explain things as best as I can.
The first basic you need to know (I dunno if this is how hairdressers do it, I've never been) is how I do my cuts. DO NOT get scissors and just cut. You need to get your hair and put a bit of pressure on the scissors and move it down the hair. If that didnt make sense, DO NOT go any further, ask me as many questions as you need to, ask someone else and/or google it. If you have a different method of cutting, you can probable use that too. Hold scissors on a 45 degree angle.
Step 3
Seperate you hair into two or more parts
> The hair that will be used for fringe/ bangs
> The rest. Tie this up somewhere out of the way.
Comb the hair that will be fringe/ bangs straight down so it covers your face. See pic.
Step 4
Cut straight across so its level with about your nose. DO NOT cut too much off.
Do the next step, if its a good length, carry on.
If its too long, go back, brush it straight and cut a little more off.
Step 5
Sweep it across using fingers.
This is the easiest step.
Step 6
Now, you can add layers, make bits shorter or cut bits differently.
This is really important. You can really stuff it up at this step, or it will look really good.

Enjoy!

And if you happened to kill it, wait about a week before going to the hair dressers, sometimes it just needs to be washes a few times and/or styled differently.
