How I trim my Bettie Bangs with Sellotape - Fitfully VIntage

Okay, so there are a zillion and one Bettie bangs trimming vids out there so another one can't hurt right? I love the accuracy achieved with guys' trimmers but I fear for my eyebrows every time.In this video I show you a quick trick to save your beloved brows!
Hair isn't the most important thing in the world but, sometimes knowing you have a super cool 'do' can make you smile and that can only be a good thing right?
Welcome to Vintagious, here, in my own litttle corner of KZbin I will show you how to create beautiful hairstyles from all eras. Sure, my main focus is on simple vintage hairstyling but I also love easy modern styles.
I don't have a favourite era, it changes all the time. One day it'll be Edwardian hairstyles that I'm all over, the next, pinup girl hair, the next I'll be all about Greek Goddesses and their crazy Barnets! I just love it all!
I do hope that you enjoy my videos and that you can learn something from them, even just a tiny bit - and even if you learn nothing I hope that they make you smile.

Buahah - she had me with "I don't want to look like a rude boy from the 90s!" LOL

[@melross1983]

Did mine and I LOVE them! They are quite high maintenance, but to me it's super worth it. It's a great way to have that vintage look quickly each day as even a ponytail looks that way with this shape. Thank you Natalie for your videos which saved my little vintage soul post baby! Muuuah!

[@jcarter3238]

God I used to do this as a teen back in the 90s. Makes me want to do it again. It was so low maintenance as I'd just wait for my bangs to dry at night, then sleep with the rest of my hair wet as its naturally stick straight, and it was perfect in the morning. The blunt look worked really well for my face shape for some reason and I have an awful large forehead. Anyway, this is the best way to do it!

[@SUPERIORWOMAN]

try this, there is a product here in USA at Sally's Beauty Supply, its haircutting tape. you can use to cover your brows, and heres the other trick. use one long piece across your betty bangs to hold them in place as you cut. works WONDERS. HELPS YOU GET THAT SHARP EDGE EVEN SHARPER! Also useful with jet setter bangs, etc etc. and for trimming lil' wee Betties, you can put the tape in straight line where you want to cut, and cut at edge of tape, ensuring straight bangs regardless of movement! GREAT VIDEO, super useful. I am a stylist here in the US of A, and I give you a double thumbs up on this technique!

[@icepez95]

the eyebrow tip is the smartest idea on the planet i just got bangs a couple month ago and i had them pretty long and then i let my dad cut them for me and he jacked it up so when i got them professionally cut they were very short and i loved it. now im getting into the bettie style

[@paulacurless5465]

❤❤❤ The eyebrow tip!!! Thank you so much 😄

[@laavanator1581]

I always prefer to have bangs because I have quite a tall forehead, but have hesitated to get Bettie bangs since I don't dress in the pinup fashion. They look great on you and I'm loving the purple hair!!

[@ultracurious]

Genius! I would have never thought of cutting my bangs this way - but I will from here on out. Thank you!

[@FitfullyVintage]

Chris B. It will actually change your life. Well, it will certainly make doing your bangs a LOAD easier

[@adnamabaan4401]

I have totally been wondering how to do these easier! Thank you!

[@MissOphelia1872]

Goddess Bless! I needed to see this. For the very first time in my adult life, I have Bettie bangs. The problem is they started out as side bangs in December 2019 and I have this side fringe that is completely annoying now. Grrrr. At least now, I know what to do about trimming my Bettie bangs! Thank you!!! I am eternally grateful!

[@FitfullyVintage]

I’m so glad the video helped you! Thank you for commenting and letting me know 😊

[@MissOphelia1872]

Fitfully Vintage My pleasure! I have loved Pinup Girls since I was in high school. *clears throat and coughs *. Back in 1986 - 1990. And my love is deeper now. Of course, it was Bettie Page who drew me to that world. Now, at almost 48, I’m identifying with that lifestyle. You’d love my pinup girl platforms Mary Janes! The designer is Hot Chocolate Designs! I have two pairs of their Mary Janes. My very first pair I bought around Christmas 2016! They’re a bit worn out, but still look awesome! They’re Victorian! I honestly wish HCD would redesign them into their platform collection. The flats shoeboxes are Chocolate Milk cartons! My platforms came in a triple layer Neapolitan birthday cake box! I tried keeping my milk carton. Unfortunately, I was unable to. A very Long story I am trying desperately to let go of and heal within! I’m on a spiritual journey which is also Magickal. I’m self-dedicating for the second Full Moon in a row. I finally love myself and everything good and bad about myself. I’m forgiving myself and letting all of it go! Because I did this back in March, I tapped into my creativity which has been blocked for a VERY long time. I’m a singer/songwriter, play the keyboard/piano, write a lot! Fiction and Autobiographical themes. Lots of supernatural and paranormal themes! Witches and Vampires mostly. I journal as much as possible and actually have a small library of my journals and fiction and poetry. That life has been gone since 2015. I wrote in a months time, February 2015 Ten Chapters of a fan fiction novella inspired by Emilie Autumn’s The Asylum for Wayward Victorian Girls. I too, live and suffer with Bipolar Disorder type 1 and I rapid cycle. This past Friday I went through every emotion in less than 24 hours! I’m also in love, which I believe is truly my first time ever. He came into my life at the end of February this year and I have been manic ever since. I should be sleeping right now. I have dialysis to go to around noon. It’s 6:11am Eastern Time. I’ve been awake since noon yesterday and went to sleep around this time. I exist in this small town in Central Pennsylvania. This guy is also a Witch. That’s what drew us together and FAST and intense! He is also a traveling tech for dialysis clinics. The biggest drawback we have. I’m hoping all my tarot readings as well as ALL the readers I follow on KZbin readings are right. If so, he’s my past-life Twin Flame/Soulmate! And we’ve never gotten it right all those past-lives. This is the first time and last time we actually get right! Last time is this is our last lives on Earth. So...with all this in mind, my musical journey is sparking back up. I used to sound kinda like an ethereal/Goth Tori Amos. My style that I’m composing in my mind is an Avant-garde Jazz. A very sensual, “wicked”, lite BDSM, a side I’ve kept hidden almost all my life. It’s good to be back!!! I’m a ginger that dyes my hair vibrant colors. It’s Vampire Red now. I’ve been turquoise, purple, berry, and rose as in the pinker shades not red. Any way, I’ve restarted my KZbin channel. I kept the first three videos as a reminder of who I was and will never be again! The updated videos are of me in my manic state after March’s full moon. It’s more or less a hobby for me. I’m right now not looking for fame and fortune. I just want to make my mark in the world.

[@WhiteDoveSam]

FANTASTIC!! Going to try this method as I have just cut a straight across fringe & really don't know how to manage the scissors well at all! This simple way should be just the fix I was looking for to shape the bangs!!😎 You're awesome , thanks so much for sharing!!🌹

[@shannondawn44]

This is an excellent idea, and looks a lot easier then fiddling with scissors ,and the way you have to do them . And the "Tape" trick is a great idea . I will try this :) Thanks so much

[@4vampee]

Easy peasy! Now, when I do Bettie bangs again I will simply grab some tape and clippers. Thanks for the tutorial.

[@darlathestrange9308]

Oh myyyy goodness! Thank you soo much for this idea! They are high maintenance! But even more so with scissors! This is the best method I've ever seen for Bettie bangs! It almost makes me want to cut my bangs again lol Lovely as always Natalie!

[@asweetbri]

If/when I go back to Bettie bangs, I will DEFINITELY use this technique to trim them! Right now I'm trying to grow them out and it seems to be taking forever! Thank you for the inspiration!

[@FitfullyVintage]

asweetbri No Problem! Thank you.

[@greta_glam]

I have watched a lot of this Bettie bangs tutorials, I will always wonder how Bettie Page did her bangs. I really like your tutorial tanks for the eyebrow tip !

[@PatienceMelissa]

Very clever! Looks cute... Thanks for the tips!

[@seriouslymcnope]

Im about to give myself back may bettie bangs! Its been years.. im so excited!

[@StephanieMarieAerial]

I'm eternally struggling with my Bettie bangs! When I don't have them, I miss them terribly and once I cut them back in, I love them for a week, then want a longer fringe that I can pin back or do more swoop styles with. Never satisfied!!

[@FitfullyVintage]

***** SAME!!

[@darlathestrange9308]

SAME! That's why I grew mine out and haven't had bangs in ages now! lol

[@SarahsDollHouse-yv9ih]

Stephanie you sound a lot like me which is why I'm going to be picking up a set of clip in bangs this weekend. That way I can have my pretty Bettie Bangs without having to deal with the awkward growing out process.

[@dannettec4261]

I've been trimming my fringe exactly this way for years:)

[@MadameArtemis]

I love betty bangs! Thanks for the great idea

[@nicolamarvin5187]

I absolutely love betty bangs but I think my hair is way to fine to have them. Love this video. X

[@FunTimesChrisJ]

I love her personality overall

[@dizzypfd]

Great tips! I love my Bettie Bangs, wouldn't be without them. I always use scissors but will give the clippers a go. Thanks Lovely! Xxx

[@BaxterBoo-123]

This is genius! I wear my fringe straight across but always get in a right pickle trying to trim it with scissors-I will give this a try. Thank you!

[@pugface37]

the bettie pangs with the raspberry hue hair is too cute! ^____^

[@FitfullyVintage]

+Pug Face Thank you. Yes, I really wish the upkeep of that colour was easier.

[@MzKinkyCurl]

Love the look of Bettie bangs, but I have kinky/curly hair and a round shape face! It would make my face look rounder. Love how easy this was to achieve. Thanks for inspiring! Purple hair rocks!

[@lilly_randola]

Omg you have the best betie bangs ever!

[@babysalazarsmommy]

I actually always loved the look. I've had bangs and tried having it short. I never thought of using that method so I didn't maintain it so good. Not a big fan on bangs on myself anymore but really nice on you :)

[@michipeachiii]

Natalie! You've made me want to buy a trimmer just so I won't have to go to the salon to get touchups lol!

[@FitfullyVintage]

livingwitheczema Actually well worth it!

[@llamamem]

I wish I had seen this video when I still had mine! I had Bettie bangs for about five years and cutting them was always a struggle, specially because I have a huge cowlick in the side of my hairline and keeping the bangs from parting there was difficult. I had to weat them very thick and keep in mind the curling from the cowlick when cutting the length. At the beginning it always looked shorter on that side! By the end I got the hand of it, I would divide my bangs in thin horizontal layers and cut them with scissors. I took time, but the result was way better. For I while now I just decided stop fighting with my hair and embrace the cowlick. I grew my bangs and wear my hair side parted. I do miss them sometimes, though.

[@GrazGolightly]

Thanks, your tutorial worked so well, people asked me to share it!

[@ravitreitman]

love it :)i'm taking a rain check on the Betty bangs until my hair grows out...

[@NanaseBarcelata]

I'm going to the Bettie bangs!

[@mirandalee4879]

I love the color of your hair wish I had the courage to dye my hair that color! I have tried the bangs look before didn't work so good for me think i'll just keep doing the fake ones for when I want a bang though if I knew how to do that when I had them I would have never messed up mine lol

[@JenniferElise]

This is ABSOLUTELY brilliant! I think I might have to grab some clip in extensions and see if I can't make some bangs (real hair is a bit too thin for it...sob). :D

[@FitfullyVintage]

A Vintage Vanity Thank you! I definitely think you should give iit a go. I know I have always said you look great when you style your hair as if you had bangs. defo, go for it, you've got those extensions haven't you? mind you, don't ruin them, you could get some cheaper ones to see if it works. x

[@shannondawn44]

A Vintage Vanity - Jen , I have the same issue with thin hair , but I don't find I look like me without bangs , so I cut them anyway :) I think it also helps that my hair is a light color . It kind of camouflages how thin my hair is . I think it's a great idea to get a clip in fringe , and cut that into Bettie bangs . You will be able to wear bangs when you want , or take them out for a different style . There is so much we can do with hair extensions . They let us try out styles to see how we like them , before cutting our actual hair . If you do cut a clip in fringe into Bettie Bangs , I'd love to see a tutorial :) Hint,hint :)

[@JenniferElise]

***** If I can make it work there will ddefinitely be a video! ;)

[@pauloakley8454]

[@killerteeth]

I love the look, btu whenever i have cut them in, I always have an accident! Either I cut them too short or too wide :-/ BUT I found a pretty good human hair clip in bang that i've cut, and so far so good! They need a little more shaping, and I'll definitely use that clever tape trick. Thanks for sharing!

[@lydiarushton7473]

I love how they look but having naturally crazy curly hair makes bangs very difficult!

[@winterbass468]

Love love love the style.. but am scared to try due to my rather large "fluffy" face. I'm afraid it will make my face look even bigger.. but Love your videos!

[@Furby420]

I so wish I watched this before I cut mine! I shaved the whole side of an eye brow off ! Great idea for future though!

[@Breeshark]

omg you've done it , genius!

[@AdelaBayer]

Please can you tell me what is your hair color's brand? and if they have some other cool colors? thanks a lot! and thanks for the awesomw video as well!!!!

[@FitfullyVintage]

+Adela Bayer It's called Ion Color Flash and this is Magenta. they have lots of lovely bright colours xx

[@AdelaBayer]

+Vintagious Thank you so much for your quick as flash answer (im not sure if this expression exists in english as well....sorry) have a beauti ful day!!!! ^^ hugz from Hungary

[@FitfullyVintage]

+Adela Bayer It does! No problem - thank you x

[@chibikate_]

I had side swept bangs for a little while but my hair is so curly that I would just end up with a ringlet on the side of my head!! I cannot imagine how awful Bettie bangs would end up, they suit you very much though. :)

[@TinaSparkle75]

I am terrified to cut mine soooooo I bought some clip ins instead!

[@froufroudeluxe]

I've had bettie bangs for a long time now, and I love them. But I feel like every updo with them looks the same! :( Any tips on creating diverse updos with bettie bangs?

[@Pambourine]

trying it tonight!

[@FitfullyVintage]

How did it go?

[@MrPrettyinbabypink]

My face is pretty round and I don't have too much forehead but I really would like to rock a Betty bang how do I pull it off?

[@rosietosie2286]

I can never get the shape right one time I went too short and I was madd but I prefer swept bangs

[@kadercicek2176]

Omg i love betty bangs but not good looking on my face :( i wish it can look good like you

[@Rainiepie]

I love the look of them, but I don't have enough hair to get the full look, also extra hair is all dreaded up and I do not trust myself to get a symmetrical curve. Maybe one day when the dreads are out and i can afford to go to the hairdressers I'll try 'em :)

[@FitfullyVintage]

Rainiepie Wow, yup. I wouldn't even attempt to go there with dreads! I definitely think they suit most people though so when the dreads are out you should totally give them a go x

[@Hi-to-ri]

I loved my bangs but I used to get so hot When I had them, my forehead used to get sweaty and a bit red too! Cause I use washout red colour:)) not a good look! So I had to let them grow :( I miss the style x

[@FitfullyVintage]

ahoo zarasvand haha! That's NOT good. I always miss my bangs when I grow them but them pretty much as soon as I have them I long for my pomps and quiffs. I'm basically never happy!

[@Hi-to-ri]

true! its a love and hate relationship :) but the good thing is you look good either way x

[@EllieKettelCreations]

How do you style them?

[@ldekker97]

I always use tape to protect my eyebrows as well! The idea of accidentally cutting/shaving a part off absolutely terrifies me.

[@ruphstuph]

I would love to do this... But I don't have enough hair :(

[@YouSuck-uj1sy]

Why do you need a trimmer with something that cuts sideburns. Your normal trimmer would probably just work fine and your a redhead naturally?? This lady that cut my hair kept telling me to keep my head straight and eventually stopped so my hair was a little uneven on the left side I’m pretty sure 😅😅

[@thebobbimartin]

Wait.. dark brown/black isn't your natural color? What is it?

[@FitfullyVintage]

***** Dark brown is my natural colour, When I bleached it, it went ginger x

[@tiffanyluna7486]

I got it to 666 lol great video u got to the point and made it easy thank u:)

[@ianqamarsayz]

hi i dont know if you can help me but i am losing my hair alot i am 34 years old gay man and it drives me crazy as i will die if i lost all my hair.... if you have any remedy or anything that can stop male alopecia or baldness . i have been to dermatologist and he put me on a tablet called Propecia here in SWEDEN i took it but i couldnt find any improvement. so he said as its genetic and tablet isnt working so if you can afford go for hair transplant but that's beyond my reach as its very expensive for me to afford. so if you have any tips etc kindly please share it with me i will be always grateful to you.... peace out from sweden.

[@FitfullyVintage]

I am sorry that you are self conscious about your hair. I think you will find your dermatologist is correct but no one knows how much hair you are going to lose it might not be very much. I dont think there arecany cures as such however, I have heard that caffeine shampoo can help, as can the herb Fenugreek. try not to rub your hair too hard when washing or drying it and use regular conditioning masks.

[@jonnyreverb]

So, what does the hair of the boy a Bettie bangs girl likes look like?

[@daysea6013]

If you don't want to get hair dye in your face, just put some vaselin on, it won't stick to your face lol

[@SatuGustafson]

I have a rather flat forehead and have to wear glasses, so bangs would look horrible on me. I'm very jealous of all you people who can wear them. :-)
