How to trim your own bangs during COVID-19 salon closures!

[@Mark-ge7kz]

Thanks Charleen. Like others, I watched other videos which did more to confuse me than to help. I just finished cutting my wife's fringe (locked down in Australia) following your instructions and she's more than happy. I might go into business! ;-) Thanks again! Mark (Yes, fellas, even a man can do it!) LOL

[@robertnewell5057]

Following on from my comment of a fortnight ago, I cut my wife's fringe using your excellent instructions and I'm still alive. That basically tells you everything, since she takes this sort of thing quite seriously.

[@fawkes8426]

Thank you for being the most rational, sane and reasonable hair artist out here! I couldn't bear to watch so many of these as they were done with bad instruction, bad lighting and too much drama. Thank you! Stay safe.

[@CharleenHess]

Denise Musser thank you. Hopefully it was helpful! Stay healthy and safe!

[@marypower1261]

Agree totally! At last a normal hairdresser who only talks sensibly - no expletives-deleted 😲 a person you can actually trust to tell you what to actually DO, no fuss no overkill 😁😇

[@d__r__m]

I’ve been trimming my bangs for years but def learned something new watching this. Thank you.

[@WandyFrames]

So helpful! I love my stylists but sometimes life happens and I can't get to them in time; this is a lifesaver! Thank you so much for your generosity!

[@LisaAnne107]

I've watched A LOT of how to cut your own bangs tutorials on KZbin. This is one of the best I've seen. Very easy to follow. Thanks so much!

[@CharleenHess]

Wow, thank you! I am so glad it helped you!

Hi I'm nearly 40 and have never cut my own hair before tonight. Two weeks ago I got curtain bangs. My first fringe in 30 ish years. It was already getting in my eyes so I used your pinch method and successfully trimmed it just enough. You gave me the confidence to try to managed my fringe myself between hairdresser appointments. Thank you so much.

[@CharleenHess]

Thank you for sharing your experience. How wonderful. I’m so glad it worked for you!

[@gigilevres3631]

Best video on cutting bangs ! You are amazing for offering help! Thank you so much!!!!!💕

[@saumyasharma3809]

Literally SAVED my life and a trip to the salon!! Thank you for breaking down the process so clearly, so glad that my fringe isn't in my face anymore

[@lilly1603]

this was genuinely the most helpful tutorial I've found!!

[@tanderson8319]

Agreed!

[@sagekennedy4337]

This was super helpful!!

[@marykaybernard3453]

You’re a life saver! Nobody wants to look like they had their Mom cut them when they were in 2nd grade....Thank you !! 🙏🏻 ❤️

[@jacmac7722]

I just cut my bangs tonight after having them grow for months and i was so depressed i didnt have bangs and i couldnt afford to go anyways, but now i have them back and theyre so cute, thank you so much for this incredible tutorial

[@tanderson8319]

I just came across this video. It is by far the easiest and best video for my hair type. Tried it and it looks great. So helpful! Thank you!

[@NowieC]

I just came across your video. I've been trimming my own bangs most of my adult life, but I only knew how to cut straight across. I just trimmed them using your technique and it's exactly what I wanted. Thank you! 🤗

[@CharleenHess]

How wonderful! So glad it worked for you!

[@CathyBill]

I’ve had bangs all my life (I’m 50) so I’m more than comfortable with cutting my own bangs..but I didn’t know about that trick with pulling them to a point so the outside edges are a little bit longer...thanks because that’s the way I like them 👍🏻.

[@CharleenHess]

You are so welcome! I am glad it worked! we keep learning every day!

[@sagekennedy4337]

I agree. This was actually simple and worked well!

[@BlueMountain2017]

Excellent tutorial! Best I have seen. My bangs grow so fast.

[@beaglemom2162]

I can finally see! I viewed several videos on how to trim your bangs & yours is by far the best & easiest to follow. I had an appointment to get my hair trimmed at Paul Mitchell School which I've been going to for years as I'm a senior on a fixed income & they do a great job. The day before my appointment they called & said they would be closing until April 1st due to Covid-19 & since it was the middle of March I thought I could swing it although my bangs were already kind of long. That was 2 months ago & being in Michigan, we are on an extended stay at home order until May 28th, which could be longer the way things are going here. I teased my bangs, curled my bangs, anything so they would stay out of my eyes but couldn't manage them anymore, until today. I was so nervous as I'm someone who has never done anything to my hair & freak out if I have short bangs, but I did it thanks to you! Now if only I could trim the rest as it's long & thick, but I'm not that crazy! To anyone who's contemplating attempting this, you've found the right video. Thank you!

[@deesterdee6650]

Best bang tutorial everrrr!!! Thank you!

I’ve watched a lot of bang tutorial and this by far is the best one. Thank you!

[@rachelpace8381]

I just got bangs a year ago and have gone to my stylist every 5 weeks or so for a trim. With the COVID-19 shutdown, it has been almost 2.5 months since my last trim! I was starting to look like cousin it. I tried wearing them to the side and I tried clipping them back, but I was never happy with them. This video was so helpful!!! I've never cut my own hair and this was very easy to do! THANK YOU!!!

[@CharleenHess]

Rachel Pace You are so welcome. I’m glad you were able to take care of them yourself.

[@BettyWilchek]

Charlene, Your Video is #1 for trimming Bangs. You get right to the point, easy, simple, and I have trimmed my own bangs for the 2nd time Today with Success. Other Videos on Trimming Bangs go on and on and make it into a long dragged out process when it shouldn't be for the Style you show. Thank you for Sharing.

[@CharleenHess]

Thank you so much for your feedback! I appreciate your kind words I’m glad that it was helpful!

[@richardpetts5149]

Thank you so much, as my wife left for work this morning, she said she would like me to trim her fringe this weekend, last weekend I coloured her hair for the first time and she was really pleased with the out come. Thank you for the great advice and tips in your video.

[@CharleenHess]

Richard Petts thats Awesome. I love empowering couples to help take care of each other! I taught friend how to cut her husband’s hair recently to save money and she’s becoming a pro!

[@Number1hunterhayesfa]

We love a supportive husband!! 💜🙌

[@michellemccartan2761]

You are a great hubby!

[@wordpainting3]

This was awesome. My bangs actually look better than when I go to the hair stylist. I never knew how to ask for what I wanted but that lift thing really lightened up the heaviness of my bangs. Great job!

[@jillmeredith2012]

Excellent! A very well done video! How cool. Thank you.

This is SO helpful!!! (And I've tried from a lot of videos....some with not-so-great results!). Great directions and turned out great!! Thank you!!

[@dawnadriana1764]

So glad I found you as I was ready to start cutting out of desperation! I watched twice, once to learn and then had you on while I cut in front of the mirror, following your guidelines. I had to use my little cuticle scissors... yet ended up with great bangs! With all the human suffering going on, it may seem silly, but I feel so much better on a gray, rainy day in Oregon. Stay safe, and thank you!

[@CharleenHess]

I feel you! every little bit counts! here in the PNW too! Glad it helped!

[@CharleenHess]

I’m so glad it’s worked for you!

[@susansmith1821]

Excellent. Very specific techniques. I'm thrilled to have trimmed my own bangs by following this video. Two other points: have sharp scissors, it's harder when you have to take off your glasses while you make the cuts. Thank you. Thank you.

[@CharleenHess]

Glad it was helpful! yes hard to see if you take your glasses off. maybe use a magnifying mirror.

[@dianefinch9261]

Great tutorial! I watched several others but yours was the best!

[@saraha6401]

I've been trimming my own bangs since before COVID because I have very long hair that I normally only get cut every 6 months or so. I've done a "passable" job but this will improve my way substantially. Thank you!

Thank you so much!! 🥰This tutorial is one of the best I have ever seen! You included so many salon tips which makes it look more professionally done. My bangs look fantastic & I am thrilled! ♥️🍃🌷🍃♥️

[@alisonschofield7235]

Thank you so much for your easy, reassuring approach. I've taken a deep breath and trimmed my fringe for the first time ever. In fact I did it 3 times because I hadn't taken enough length off but much better that way than being horrified! I feel so much better, such a shame that I can't do my colour too but if I home colour my hairdresser won't touch my hair again

[@CharleenHess]

Alison Schofield I’m so glad it worked. Yes, baby steps works good. You can always take more off but you can’t put it back. I’m sorry you were not able to do your color as well. I would think your hairdresser would understand and such times like this. Hopefully Salon’s will open soon and you can get back to regular appointments

[@joygrace8208]

Yeah I did it right only because of your clear instructions and options. Thank you 👍🏽 keep well and safe

[@CharleenHess]

I will all the tips and tricks I can. I would avoid using thinning scissors, especially if you have thin hair. a Precision haircut makes all the difference. I'd be happy to consult with you.
