With this method, look in the mirror when making your cuts.
Keep in mind that styrofoam heads are slightly smaller than human heads, so your bangs will look a bit different on the mannequin than on your head. You can try on the wig first and use a bobby pin to mark where you want to cut the bangs. Use T-pins or straight pins to hold the wig in place as you work with it. Pin the wig at the crown of the head and at the temples, for instance.
If there are stray hairs sticking up, you may trim the bangs unevenly.
You can do this whether you are trimming straight or side-swept bangs.
This does not have to be an even, precise cut. The purpose of this is to simply get rid of the weight at the bottom of your bangs.
If you cut your bangs all at once, your bangs may look slightly curved rather than completely straight. This is because the hair on the sides gets pulled more toward the middle as you make your cut.
This is a more forgiving technique when cutting synthetic and human hair.
This way, you can easily match the length of both sides for a precise, straight style.
If you are trimming your hair yourself, check your fringe from multiple angles in the mirror. If using a styrofoam head to cut the bangs, try slipping on the wig and seeing how the bangs lay on your face.
For example, maybe your eyesight is better on the left side so you want your bangs angled toward the right.
This way, you can easily follow the angle of this finger when you make your cuts.
As you do this, keep your scissors parallel with the fibers of the wig.
This way, you don’t make any blunt cuts across your side-swept fringe.
