4. Sectioning the Hair
Sectioning is one of the most important steps when cutting curtain bangs at home. Proper sectioning helps you control the shape and symmetry of your bangs. Start by parting your hair down the middle. Then create a triangular section at the front, with the point of the triangle starting at your hairline and the base stretching across the forehead.
Clip the remaining hair back to avoid accidentally cutting more than needed. Make sure both sides of the triangular section are even. This section should include all the hair you want to turn into curtain bangs. You can adjust the width depending on your preference for thick or thin bangs.
Sectioning also allows you to cut gradually. Trim a little at a time, checking the length and shape frequently. If your hair is layered, you may need to section additional smaller pieces to ensure an even cut. Correct sectioning is the foundation for a precise and professional-looking result.
