How to Thin Out Curtain Bangs
Thinning out your curtain bangs is a simple process that you can do at home with a few basic tools. Here's what you'll need:- A pair of sharp hair cutting scissors
- A comb
- A mirror
Step-by-Step Guide
Follow these simple steps to thin out your curtain bangs:- Start with clean, dry hair. Use a comb to separate your bangs from the rest of your hair.
- Take a small section of your bangs and comb it straight down. Hold the section with your fingers about an inch away from your scalp.
- Using your hair cutting scissors, snip into the section at an angle, making small cuts about halfway up the section. Be sure to use a feathering technique to create a natural, blended look.
- Repeat this process on the rest of your bangs, taking small sections at a time. Be sure to step back and check your progress in the mirror often.
- Once you've thinned out your bangs to your desired level, use your fingers to tousle and style them as desired.

Q: Can I thin out my curtain bangs with regular scissors?
A: While it's technically possible, it's not recommended. Regular scissors are not sharp enough to create a clean, even cut, and can lead to split ends and other damage.

A: It's best to thin out your bangs when they're dry, as wet hair can appear longer and thicker than it actually is.
