She seems to be fine with that. when cutting her bangs, I just tell her to give me a sec while I'm blocking her view of the screen. I have hair cutting scissors. I mostly cut her hair dry so I can see the shape better. I've watched a number of youtube vids for cutting kids hair. I cut very little at a time. It takes longer but it helps prevent mistakes. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/bang-trimming-tips#post-2118163 Mon, 23 Mar 2015 09:57:04 +0000 Mamaof2 2118163@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>When I had bangs my hair stylist told me to make sure they were dry and to hold the scissors vertically and snip across - </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/bang-trimming-tips#post-2118129 Mon, 23 Mar 2015 09:38:18 +0000 autumnlove 2118129@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I have better luck with trimming dry hair. I use hair cutting scissors. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/bang-trimming-tips#post-2118121 Mon, 23 Mar 2015 09:33:14 +0000 Mae 2118121@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Warning: If you cut the bangs when wet, cut them longer than you think they should be! Hair shrinks a bit when dry. Especially because when you cut the hair you're pulling it down. I had a friend cut her own bangs out of the shower once and it was.... tragic. lol. </p> <p>Also personally I wouldn't twist... I would try to gather all the hair to the center and make one cut, but don't twist the hair first. That way the bangs will naturally be a little bit longer towards the temples and shorter in the center which I think looks nice. </p> <p>As for keeping a toddler still enough to use scissors that close to her eyeballs??? you're on your own. I have no idea. :) </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/bang-trimming-tips#post-2118108 Mon, 23 Mar 2015 09:20:04 +0000 yoursilverlining 2118108@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I cut LO’s bangs right after the bath – she doesn’t mind me cutting them, but just to be on the safe side I wrap her up in the towel and put on a youtube program to distract her. I think it's easier to cut her hair when it's wet than when it's dry. </p> <p>I have hair trimming scissors (bought from Sally Beauty) and just take a fine tooth comb and bundle her bangs up and cut. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/bang-trimming-tips#post-2118105 Mon, 23 Mar 2015 09:16:44 +0000 looch 2118105@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Take the bangs, twist them together and then cut into them, not across. I do this when I need to get my own bangs trimmed but don't have time....my bangs aren't straight across though, they're kind of sideswept. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/bang-trimming-tips#post-2118098 Mon, 23 Mar 2015 09:11:06 +0000 regberadaisy 2118098@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>For those that trim your daughters bangs yourself, any tips?</p> <p>My (almost) 3 year olds bangs are covering her eyes and I need to trim them. She is very resistant to letting me, so any tips? Bribe? What kind of scissor do you use?</p> <p>Thanks! </p>
