My New Hair?

I want a cute new hair cut that I can cut by myself. I have long darkbrown straight hair. I have a heart shaped face. Side swept bangs would be nice but I don't know how to cut them!

You can get a layered cut. Long layers would be best since they acentuate the shape of your face. I suggest you go to a professional to do it but if you want to do it yourself here's how:

1.Shampoo and condition your hair. Towel dry, leaving your hair rather on the wet side. You may want to have a spray bottle of water nearby to keep your hair moist during the process of cutting your hair.

2.Comb your wet hair straight back.

With your comb, evenly section off about one half inch of hair as though you are going to cut 閳ユ競angs ?, but continue the section all the way down your face in front of the ears. The rest of your hair should still be combed straight back to keep it out of your way.You should see a straight line from the top of your head to the sides.

3.Bring the top-section hair forward and down in front of your eyes. Using your nose as a measurement for length, cut the section of hair straight across to just the outer edges of your eyes. Your starting cut should be at the tip of your nose, but if you want your hair shorter, cut higher up but never higher than the bridge of your nose. You should now have a straight line from the outer edge of one eye to the other. This line will be your length guide for cutting the remainder of your hair. The further down your nose you make your first cut, the longer your overall haircut will be.

4.Standing in front of the mirror, comb the section you閳ユ獫e just cut straight up. Holding your hair between your index finger and your middle finger in a scissor-like grip, snip off just the very tips of this section. All you are trying to do here is get a straight line while the hair is held straight up. Cut too much, and you will have a shorter haircut overall.

5.Comb the sides of the section straight up pulling with it some of the hair you閳ユ獫e just cut. Notice that you can easily see how the sides are longer than the cut section. Using the 閳ユ競ang ? cut as your guide, and holding the side sections straight up, make your next cuts straight across. When you let the hair go you will notice that it falls easily into layers.

With your comb, section off another small halo of hair from ear to ear combing it forward and keeping the remainder of your hair straight back. Comb the new section of hair straight up, pulling with it the first section as your cutting guide. You should easily see where the first section was cut and the new section that is needing to be cut. Cut the second section evenly with the first. Pull the side sections straight up again to cut it even with the bang area.

6. Continue sectioning and pulling the hair straight up and cutting across using the guide lines from each previous cut. Be careful not to section off too much for each new cut, as it makes it difficult to see where your cutting guideline is. You will continue sectioning and cutting all the way to the back of your head, pulling each section straight up until you have sectioned and cut all of your hair.

Tips

-Keeping your hair fairly wet through this process makes it easier to hold the area you are not cutting out of your way.

-Be careful to continue your cuts at the same length all the way across the top as you pull each section up. It is very easy to make slightly shorter cuts as you section towards the back of your head which will give you kind of a punk look on the very top of your head.

-To make an even longer version of this haircut, comb each section straight up and slightly forward when making your cuts. This will make the overall cut longer in the back, leaving the front shorter and wispy.

-The first few times you cut your hair this way, cut only a small amount and work towards the length you are really after. Making drastic changes can cause you to be very unhappy with the cut you閳ユ獫e made.

-This method of cutting your hair can be used for rather short to very long depending on the angle you pull your hair.

-Use a pair of scissors that is meant for cutting hair. These types of scissors have that 閳ユ笁ook ? off of one of the finger-holes. Scissors should be held with the thumb in one hole and the ring finger in the hole with the 閳ユ笁ook ?. Your pinky finger rests on the 閳ユ笁ook ? . This gives you complete control of the scissors so that you can insert and remove your thumb from its placement and you can comb the sections of hair as you go along without having to put the scissors down between each cut.

-With each cut, hold the hair you are about to cut between your index finger and the middle finger in a scissor like grip. This way you can use your finger as a guide for your scissorw to make straight cuts. Don't bend your fingers.

Warnings

-Make sure you cut straight across from ear to ear, not tilting your scissors. To do so will cause one side of your haircut to be longer than the other.

-Make sure your scissors are sharp! There is nothing worse than trying to chew through your hair with a dull pair of scissors.

-If you currently have a haircut that is a 閳ユ競ob ?, where the hair is rather long in the front and sides but short in back, this cut will cause your hair to be drastically short looking.

Keep the blades of the scissors closed between each cut.

Don't cut straight across. It looks butch. Take peices and cut up and down.

get your friend to do them, if you have any talented ones. if your hair is straight and long swide swept bangs would look super cute. if you want a good job i suggest you got to hairdresser.

Unless you want to cut it one length across, go to a professional or it will be obvious.

My New Hair?

I suggest going to get it done right by a professional, but if you must just don't cut it all off you may need extra length if you mess it up a little and I prefer long hair for women.

well... i think you pull that section of hair into a mini side ponytail, so only the hair involved is in the ponytail. cut your hair directly across, and style. i think...

pink mohawk sounds good

why dont you go to a beauty collage where they are teaching their students how to cut hair, it is soo cheap like ten dollars to get a hair cut and they dont mess up or anything they have some one helping them i have never had any bad experiences with them, look up beauty collage in your city and call them and ask them if they cut hair and then go, easy as that! dont cut your own hair if you have no knowledge of how it wont come out right.

Unless you're broke, go to Supercuts or Wondercuts and spend $10 to get your hair cut right! You will only hate it when you do it wrong, and you will. Guaranteed.

For a heart-shaped face, I think a chin-lenght bob is precious, bangs side-swept will add to the drama.
