DIY Beauty Treatments and Fashion Fixes
Save time and money with these easy step-by-steps.
Trim Your Bangs
Time: 5 to 10 minutes.
What you need: Sharp scissors (such as Rickycare six-inch shears; $15, rickysnyc.com) and a mirror.
How-to: Start with dry hair. (If your hair is wet, your bangs will wind up too short.) To ensure that you are cutting straight, look
in the mirror and place the comb horizontally at the spot where you want the bottom of the bangs to be. (They should fall
just above the eyebrows.) Make small snips at a vertical angle to create a soft fringe, using the point of the shears rather
than chopping with the entire blade; this will give you more control. Make sure the comb remains parallel to the floor. And,
finally, show restraint: Watching those cuttings raining softly into the sink can be dangerously satisfying.
A pro charges: $20
DIY cost: $0, after the initial $15 for scissors
