When you're dealing with fine hair or thin hair, maximizing movement and texture in a shag haircut without overdoing it is key. This medium length layered haircut incorporates face framing layers, side swept fringe and soft separation at the ends which is characteristic of shag haircuts. Watch the video and follow the transcript below.    Heavy Medium Shag for Thin Hair Tutorial: Welcome back to Jatai Academy. I'm Russell Mayes, Director of Content. Today we're going to be doing a women's mid-length shag, but it's a heavy shag style. Most shags that you see are really, really layered and highly textured and they give you that real wispy kind of airy look. And if you have really thick hair, it works amazingly well. But if you don't want to lose all that thickness or you don't have the thickness to lose, say you got finer texture of hair, I'm going to show you a way to get the same type of textured layers of that real wispy on the end kind of look, but not so much that you're going to lose all of your internal volume. Let's get started.   Establishing the Perimeter Starting in the center back here, holding down horizontal. Using my Feather Styling Razor, I'm going to go through and cut everything horizontal. So, I'm going to use about an inch to an inch and a half razor stroke and cut everything fairly blunt with just a little bit of movement to my razor stroke so I can get some lightness and some airiness into the ends. Just holding everything straight down and natural fall and cutting straight across. It's naturally going to bevel a little bit whenever you cut anything horizontal with your Styling Razor, but that's my guide for the perimeter length.   Heavy Layering Now I'm taking a vertical section and holding everything down at a 45 from the head and I'm cutting a straight up and down vertical section. So I'm actually cutting a layer section into the shape while I'm holding it down into a graduation elevation. So, this is going to give me a heavier type of layering than if I was to just go through and hold everything straight out from the head and layer it. So, it's going to give me that weight from the graduation of how I'm holding it, but the lightness from the layering that I'm cutting into it. Checking everything there. Making sure I've got everything like I want. And just cleaning it up, taking my time and cleaning up each section as it needs to be cleaned up. Now, we're going to go through and do the same thing on the other side. You can see my line there. I'm cutting straight up and down and holding it down at a 45 graduation angle. Anything that hangs over, I will then go through and cut off and make sure that my perimeter shape is clean. Now, I'm going to work from the back of the head into the side of the head. I don't like to separate the back from the side when I'm doing my horizontal sectioning. A lot of people will stop at the quarter part, but I'm not going to do that. I'm just going to keep working all the way around. Starting in the center, following the same guide, the same elevation that I had, and the same angle of cut line that I'm cutting, I'm going to go through and cut anything else off in my new guide, removing half of my previously cut section, holding that out at a 45, and then cutting straight up and down. So, by going through and doing this layering type of cut on a graduation type of section, it gives me a heavy type of layering, much heavier than if I was holding it straight out from the head. It's not quite graduation because graduation makes the shape stack from shorter underneath to longer on top. This is keeping everything much more even. Now, as I work into the sides, I'm cutting my perimeter because I didn't cut my perimeter shape on the side before. Going back into the center, holding that straight out, following my guide that I had before. There we go. That's a good angle right there. You can really see the straight up and down angle that I'm cutting into this section. So, by going through and doing this, it gives me layering without putting too much layering in it. I can still keep my shape really, really solid. Continuing with the rest of the hair, taking pie sections, working from the back center into the sides, trying to follow the same razor stroke that I was using underneath.   Give us a thumbs up, click subscribe, and the notification bell to be notified of future Jatai Academy content.   Now, we're continuing to walk our guide in pie sections around the back of the head as we get into the side of the head. Just following the previously cut guide that was underneath and also from the previously cut sections, holding everything on the side straight back. We're going to layer the front. So, I want to make sure that we blend into the layering in the back and our length on the sides.   Channel Cutting After we've gone through and cut our whole shape so far, I'm going to go back in and start to remove some of the weight on the end. So the last four or five inches on the ends, I'm going to go through and channel cut just to force the hair to separate a little bit more. I can get that shag type of shape in a very very controlled way by only putting the layering on the very ends. I've cut my shape. It's a solid shape with a little bit of layering underneath and then going through and adding just the right amount of texture really makes the hair move. It forces the ends to separate and really gives me that shag shape. Another thing about going through and cutting your shape first and then applying your texture as opposed to doing both at the same time, I can control how much weight and how much separation that I get much more precisely if I've already precut the overall shape. And then I just apply my texture. If I'm having to do both, it I'm going in and applying texture a little bit blindly because I can't tell exactly how much I'm cutting off as I'm cutting the length off at the same time. So, here you can see it's thick right there. It's thick right there. And then I skip that little gap right through there. It doesn't need it where the gap is, so I don't put any in. Around the front there's very little. Boom. We're done. Now, we're going to go through and check. I'll shake everything out just to feel the weight across the entirety of the head and make sure nothing really stands out.   Side Swept Bangs Now I'm going to go through and take our bang section, which is going to be the first bump of the head to the high point of the ear and from recession to recession. Taking that straight across. I want this to hit around the lips. That's going to be my guide. And then I'll go through following my parting. That's the line that I'm going to cut into it. So, I'm holding everything T to my parting and cutting from short down to long. Whatever that long length is right there by the ear, that's my go to guide. I have my come from guide by cutting the wispy bangs first. So, the bangs are the short piece. The piece at the ear is the long piece. And then I just blend the two together by pulling everything forward T to my parting that I've got right there from the top of the head to the ear. After I've got that fit in like I want, I'll go through and do the exact same thing on the other side. It's important that I cut from the top down because you notice I'll go hand up on one side and hand in on the other side so that I can make sure that the movement is the same on both sides. I can't cut one side going up and one side going down and expect it to be the same. I have to cut both sides short to long. So, I have to maintain that kind of movement. Now, we're going to check our bangs. I think it needs to be a little shorter. So, I'm going to take a little shorter right through there. I've got the basic shape in. I didn't like that. A little bit more, I think, is appropriate. There we go. Looking good.  Shags are also known to incorporate curtain bangs, so create these instead if desired.   Blending the Front with the Back Now, we're going to take our next section, which is the high point of the head, right to the mastoid, right behind the ear. I'll pull this down at a 45, pulling it forward and follow the previously cut guide that I had underneath. By elevating it at a 45, I'll keep my weight around the front even though I'm putting razor texture into it and cutting my shape with the razor. Because I'm pulling it at a 45, that's going to maintain that kind of heaviness. So, I can get the separation from the razor, but I can maintain a more solid shape. The higher that I elevate this, the more weight that I'm going to remove from my layering around the front. Sometimes I want it, sometimes I don't. Now, we're going to go through and do the same thing on the other side. And here you can see I'm still cutting from short at the center of the head down to my long piece at the ear. So, you'll notice the razor comes on top on the inside of my knuckles and cuts down to my fingertips where on the other side I cut from my fingertips to my knuckles. Now, we're going to take the rest of the hair on this side, comb everything forward, see if anything hangs over that front section, and make sure that everything blends through and I don't have any long little pieces that don't blend from back to front.   Follow us on your favorite social media @jataifeather   Drying and Styling Now, let's go through and blow it dry. I'm going to power dry first to get everything off of the scalp to get some volume. Then, I'm going to go through with a round brush just to make sure everything gets smooth and I get all the textures really smooth before I go through and drag a curling iron through it. Now, when I'm putting a curling iron in, I'm taking the entirety of the section from the crown all the way down into the nape. I'll pull that through, curl the center first. As that gets hot, then I'll go through, leave the center out, and then start to work that to the end. So, I only get curl in the center and the ends are a little softer. My first pass with the curling iron, the curls were a little too big. So, I went back in with a smaller curling iron and curled everything exactly with the same methodology I was doing before, but just with a smaller barrel. I did not curl the bangs. I left those from whatever my blowout was. So, I have a straighter bang that has some movement to it out of the face. And I like it. I think it looks good.   End Result Here's our end result. And I think that this looks really good. It walks that tight rope between overly layered textured shag and overly thick kind of stiff hair that doesn't move. This gives you the texture and movement on the ends that a thin hair shag really presents and does well, but it also gives you that internal fullness so that you can get some volume and you can get some movement to it without overly layering it. It gives you a nice kind of layering around the front, but since I'm elevating it lower, it keeps it semi-solid. And also by elevating it in a graduated shape when I go to layer it and then layering it with a vertical type of cut, it really balances between the two. So I get the fullness and the movement at the same time as getting the texture and the softness you need for a shag haircut for thin hair. This medium shag can also be made on short hair. Same principals apply to shag short haircuts on thin hair. Please check out the Jatai Academy. There's all kinds of fantastic information that will make you a better hair stylist and barber.

If you like Liam Gallagher's hair from Oasis, this one is at treat. The Oasis hair is a modern take on the Caesar haircut. Perhaps you have mend coming into the salon or barbershop requesting longer haircuts. As a business, you want to be able to provide the haircut services your clients desire. The Oasis haircut is a unique, stylish and modern longer hairstyle for men. Learn how to adapt the classic Caesar into a modern one. Watch this Oasis haircut tutorial and follow along with the transcript.  Oasis Haircut Tutorial: Welcome back to Jatai Academy. I'm Russel Mayes, Director of Content. Today we're going to be doing a modern version of the classic Caesar cut. It's going to be kind of an Oasis take on the Caesar, which is a little bit more British rocker version of a Caesar, but the shape is the same. The only thing that changes is the proportions. So, let's get started. Scissor Over Comb So, let's start separating the top from the bottom. And the bottom is where we're going to do all of our scissor over comb using our Jatai Tokyo scissor. It's a 6-in long blade, has a good sharpness to it, and it makes it easy for me to go through and apply my scissor over comb. We're going to start with a really rough, crude cut just to get some of the length away and to start to build our shape. I'm not worried about this being really, really perfect right now. I'm just trying to get a crude shape in so that I can start to fine-tune it. I'll start in the center and then work to the right. After I finish the right, then I'll go back and work to the left. And at this point, I'm, as I said, I'm still just getting a very, very crude shape. Once I reach the mastoid right there behind the ear, I don't move any forward. I'll deal with that when I get to the sides. Now, after I finish the back, I'm going to go through and start fine-tuning it. Now, to fine-tune scissor over comb just means that I'm going to cut it a lot more times. I'll start at the bottom. I'll make a cut. I'll start to make another cut. As I go up the back of the head, the more scissor cuts that I make, the cleaner that the section can be. I want to make sure that when I'm cleaning it up, all I'm focused on is retracing what's already there. I'm not trying to recut it. I'm tracing what's already there. And each time that I trace it, it should get a little tighter and a little tighter and a little cleaner. So, I just keep going over it until I get it as clean as I want. After I finish the left side, I'll move on to the right side. After I finish both sides, I'll go through and clean up my perimeter. So, just combing everything down, fitting that in, making sure that that looks good. Now, we're going to move into the sides. I'm going to take the entire side section, pull it up to the top of the section, and cut it at a desired length right at the top of the section. That's going to leave me longer hair at the ear. So, I'm going to hold the next section up, and I'm going to work that back into the nape right there at the occipital bone. And then I'm going to start to fine-tune from the back into the sides. Now, I'm not trying to re-cut all that side length off that I've preserved. I'm just going through trying to visually blend the sides into the back right there around the mastoid area and leaving that length in the front. Blending the Sides with the Top Now, we're going to go through and use our Feather Styling Razor. This is a razor with the guard so I can really get in there and detail what I'm doing without worry of cutting myself. I'll go through and take my section right at the sideburn, hold that straight down, go through and channel that off, cut the length off, and make that fit in like I want. I want to leave it long just to cover the ear, but I don't want it longer than the ear. After I get that fit in, I'm going to continue to work diagonal back sections as I go through and clean everything up and dial it in and make sure it fits and flows smoothly. Perfect. That's looking good. I like that. Now, we're going to go through and start blending the sides into the top. I'll take a horizontal section that is parallel to the previous section that I took to separate the top from the bottom. And then I'll take a subsection, comb that out straight over towards the hair that's been cut underneath, using that as a guide, and then blending anything that hangs over that, cutting that off. And I'll work from the front all the way into the back. Once I got that fit in like I want, I'll go on and take my next section, which is parallel to the previously cut section, hold that straight out and over towards the right of his head. Anything that hangs over the previously cut hair, I'm going to cut off. I'm taking a pretty broad razor stroke just to keep everything nice and soft. And then as I work here into the back, you'll notice that that diagonal section is going right to the occipital bone. That's going to help me blend not only the top to the bottom, but the side into the back. I'll work that all the way over until I get into the center part of the head. Because anything over the center part of the head is not going to reach. Combing that over. Anything that hangs out, we'll go through and cut that off. This is just to make sure the top doesn't hang over the bottom at any point in time. Mohawk Sections Now I'll go through and take a mohawk section right down the center of his head. Starting at the front, holding that straight up and out from the head, I'll go through and cut whatever length that I think that this needs to be on the top, which is going to be fairly short. I'll cut that head shape all the way from the front into the back at the occipital bone. Just taking my time, gently using the razor, using the motion of the razor to cut, not force. Right there at the very end, I'll cut that off to make sure it blends. Now I'll take a parallel section to the previous mohawk section. Hold those two sections together and then cut that through using the center piece as my guide. Cutting all the way from the front into the back exactly like I did on my first section, taking my time, letting the razor do the work. Anywhere the hair is too short, I'll just lay my thumb against the guard and anything that hangs out, I'll cut off. Blending the Corners Now, here I'll remove the original section that I took. So, I have my second section and then I'll take a diagonal section and then use my center section and the section at the side of the head and just blend that corner off. So, we're keeping the shape very, very round. Using my center guide, blending it into the sides. Give us a thumbs up. Click the subscribe button and the notification bell to be notified of future Jatai Academy content. So, we're keeping this shape very, very round, but we will keep the edges very, very solid and blunt, not real soft and wispy. Now, we'll just work that all the way through and make sure everything blends through there, that there's nothing that hangs out, no lumpiness at all. I'll go back. I'll take the center section that I started with. And now, I'll take my first section on the left side of the head. And here I'm showing you I'm cutting from the front to the back just like I did on the other side. Now, this is a little uncomfortable in that we always want to cut the opposite way on each side of the head. But if I cut it the same way on each side, it will flow much better. The Piecey Fringe Now, we're going to separate the hair right at the front. I'm going to take a small piece right in the middle. This is going to determine my overall length for my fringe, for my bangs. I'll comb that down and cut my guide. And then go through and channel cut everything off to make sure that it's soft, it's piecey around the front, and also separates. Now, anything that hangs out a little too long, I'll just take off right through there. I'll pinch cut. Now I'll continue to blend this center cut right at the bangs all the way into the sides of the head. Channel cutting my texture and length at the same time. Pinch that off. That's looking good. And I just fine-tune. This is the most important part of the cut. So I want to take my time and really dial it in. Now I don't want to get it too long or too short. So that's why I take my time to make sure I get the right length. It's always easier to go back and take more length off than it is to put it back on. So be careful about that. Continuing to work from the center on the left side of the head just like I did on the right side of the head. And that's why using a a razor with a guard really really helps doing something like this because I can focus on the cut and not give any thought to any kind of fear of cutting myself. Removing Weight with Texturizing Scissors Now I'll go through with my Jatai Tokyo Thinning Scissors. And this is the perfect amount of texturizing scissor that to remove just enough weight to keep the shape moving without over thinning it. I'll start at the bottom and I'll go through and thin the entire side of the head. into the parietal ridge, the roll of the head, to make sure I can get everything nice and smooth and blended. I'll cut the top later, but I'll start at the bottom and I'm going to cut about halfway into the length. When I cut into the length, I'm removing thickness. When I'm focusing the thinning on the very tips, I'm blending things together. Follow us on your favorite social media @JataiFeather Now, let's blow it dry. I'm going to blow dry the sides down to make sure they don't stick out as much as I can. And just kind of get everything nice and dry and smooth, keeping everything in its natural fall. Apply a little bit of clay to get some texture to it. And taking my time to go through and separate the pieces to make it just right. Final Look Here's our end result. And you know, I think that this looks pretty good. The shape is there. It's not the classic tapered version of it where the sides and the back is cut real short and everything on top is cropped real short, but the shape is the same. It's just I left a little bit more length here in the back because I'm finding the fade uninteresting anymore. So, I think a little bit more hair is much more interesting and much more fashionable. And I think a lot of the clients that we have are tending to grow their hair out and are kind of over the fade. They're the fade is fading, so to speak. So, we left it a little longer on the side so you can have that Oasis kind of shape to it. Bangs are cut short. If you were to take the sides short like the back, it would be a classic Caesar, but with these sides left out a little longer, it is the much more rocker version. The shape is a classic, so just modify the proportions and you'll get all kinds of variations from it.  Check out the Academy.

Let’s learn how to cut the bangs in four different popular ways, specifically Birkin, side swept, micro and butterfly curtain bangs. Whether it's building in completely new bangs or doing a trim of already existing fringe, these techniques work! Cut bangs with ease by watch this YouTube video and learning step-by-step how to cut the bangs and follow along with the transcript below.   How to Cut the Bangs 4 Ways: Welcome back to Jatai Academy. I'm Russell Mayes, Director of Content. Today we're going to be sharing with you the four most popular bang styles there are: Birkin bangs, side swept bangs, micro bangs, and some butterfly curtain bangs. Now, I'm going to show you how to section it properly, how to make sure it fits the head right, how to get the right texture, and not cut it too short. So, let's get started.   Birkin Bangs We're going to start off with the Birkin Bang. The Birkin Bang is known after Jane Birkin from the, her 70s effortlessly glamorous bangs. And they were shorter in the middle and they gradually got longer towards the sides, maybe as long as the cheekbone, maybe a little bit less. But it was always this kind of just below the brow, a little longer towards the edges. It was beveled, but it was still heavy in its solidity, but the ends were really, really soft. So, we're going to start with my Feather Plier Razor. Now, this is a guardless razor, so there's no guard. It gives me the most control and the cleanest cut over my cut line so I can keep it really solid, but yet really wispy and soft just on the edges if I want. That's what we're going to do. So, we've taken a center part or a natural part from that first little bump of the head where the head starts to curve forward. We're going to take that to the center of the recession on both sides. So, this is going to split off all the hair that has the ability and tendency to fall in the eyes, to fall in the face. If this hair tends to be a little thick, which this one is, I'm going to split that in half. Come on, baby. Here we go. Split that in half. And that way less hair I can control. More hair sometimes becomes a little harder to control. Alright. So we're going to section out right here in the front. Now I'm going to take a section that's going to be from the inner eyebrow to the inner eyebrow. This is going to be my focal point for these bangs. And wherever it's the shortest, that's the focal point. That's where your eye goes to first. It's going to be this little short piece in the middle. Then it's going to gradually get longer towards the edges. But I want to focus the attention right in the center of the face.   Follow us on your favorite social media @jataifeather   Take this little section here. Comb down. I want this to hit just a little below the crux of the nose. So I know that that's going to shrink up a little bit when it dries. So we're going to go a little longer than that. And I think right there is probably pretty good. And I'm going to take a nice short even razor stroke to cut my length. My left hand is holding that hair as tight as a vice. Get that cutting through. If anything kind of sneaked out there, just cut that off. There's a little piece there. Come here. There we go. Now, from here, I want to see where it's going to fall on the cheekbones. So, what I'm going to do is I'm going to comb the whole section out and forward. And then I'm going to visualize where I want this to fall on the cheekbone. And then I'm going to cut that straight across. So, we're going to go somewhere about there. A little bit past the tip of the nose just to be safe. If we need to, I can cut more of that off. I cut everything straight across. Now, the reason I'll go through and bi-level this is so that I have a guide here that I know that's going to match on each side. If I feel that that's too long, I can take that a little shorter, but I think that's going to be a good length there. Then I'm going to bevel this through to this corner right here. So, I have a guide for my cut to and my cut from. So, we're going to comb this straight down. There's my guide I'm cutting to. I'm gonna hold that down and then angle the blade to where I'm going from short to long. Come here, baby. And I want to hold this straight down as I'm cutting because I want these to be heavy, but I still want them to be soft. So, by holding it straight down, angling my fingers at the guide that I want to cut and then going through and cutting that, the same type of razor stroke I was cutting before and the center cutting that down and through to my guide on each side. There we go. I think we need to change this a little bit right through there. Now, we're going to take and comb this next section down. Now, here to keep this from building up too much length, I'm going to introduce a longer razor stroke motion so I can soften that thickness. There's my length. A longer stroke ending at the same spot right through there. A longer, broader razor stroke to get me a little bit more softness through there. Alright, now we got our basic shape in. We're going shorter in the middle. Gradually beveling that out into a longer side piece. So, let's blow it dry. See what we got. Okay, here's our end results of our Birkin bangs. Um, I think the shape's pretty good. Thicker hair sometimes gets a little broomy, so you have to texturize it a little bit more. The key points to this to remember is that you want to go a little longer with the angle than you think you need. Use a razor, make it soft. Now, let's move on to the next.   Side Swept Bangs So now we're going to do some side swipe, side swipe, side swept bangs. Yeah, we're going to sweep some bangs to the side. So whenever you're going to do that, that means the parting is going to be extreme on one side. Usually the center of the recession or if it goes lower, it looks a little funky, but usually around the center of the recession straight back. That's going to be our part. We're going to do the same methodology where the head starts to curve forward. That's where we're taking our parting from going to the center of the recession. So now we have a bang on one side. You could technically take this little sliver of bang right here on the right side. But if I take that always if I cut that, it always seems to hang out and look funky and never blend in. So we're going to take a straight up and down section here. So, we're going to take this section, comb all the way over T to my part, cut about here, cut parallel to my parting. So, that automatically starts to introduce an extreme amount of movement into this section over to the other side. We're going to take a parallel section, comb that over. There's my guide from underneath. Cut that down and through. Take the last of the section. Pulling that over. Anything that hangs over my guide length there, we're going to cut off. Now, you'll see when I comb this down, I start to end up with this really extreme angle of about a 45°. Alright. And here is our side swept bangs. And I think this looks pretty neat. I like it. It's a little Judy Jetson-y. I think if we just had this kind of flip out a little bit, you'd look like Judy Jetson.   Micro Bangs Alright. So now let's move on to the next one. Alright. So we're going to do micro bangs. Now micro bangs, probably the hardest and the thing that you have to be the most patient with. We're going to take our same type of sectioning from the first bump of the head to the center of the recession. Now we're gonna take all this hair. I'm going to evenly wet it. And I want to make sure that when I'm going to cut this section, I'm using as little tension as possible. So, I'm going to start with my Jatai Tokyo Scissor. This is a long, skinny, thin blade with a nice point. It enables me to get in there and really precisely point cut exactly where I want, and it doesn't push the hair too much. So, let's get started. We're going to comb everything straight down. Pick up with the comb. Find out where I want to cut it. And then I'm going to cut that straight across. If the hair is too thick, then take this into two sections. If it's too thin, then a thicker section makes it easier to see your cut line. So, you'll get that choice by experience. So, comb everything down. Now, as soon as I comb that down, I instantly see it start to kind of spring up. That's okay. I know it's going to spring up. So, when I'm expecting it, I leave it a little longer than I think it should be so that it springs up. And then I can clean the spring up. So, I'm going to comb that straight down. No tension at all. Go through with my Tokyo Scissors and cut that straight across. I'm going to point cut this so I have a little bit of softness to it, and it makes it a little bit easier to go through and cut. If I wanted to cut this straight across, like, you know, Mr. Spock bangs, then I'm going to take much, much smaller sections and point cut it first and then go through and clean up my line. I'm not going to try to cut my clean line right from the beginning. I'll point cut it and then cut it. It makes it far easier to get a nice precise clean line doing it that way as opposed to trying to push the hair into shape. Comb that straight down. There's my guide in the middle.   Give us a thumbs up, click subscribe, and the notification bell to be notified of future Jatai Academy content.   There we go. And here I'm just trying to be as patient as I can be and be as diligent with my cutting as possible. The more patient I am, the more I continue to fine-tune these sections, the better that my end result will be. And again, I'm not trying to get this perfect on the first pass while it's wet. I'm going to get it as close as I can, as close as I feel is necessary. And then I'll go through it after I dry it. Clean it up even more. I'm beginning to get a little neurotic now. I think it's time to move onto the next phase, drying it, and then we'll fine-tune it some more. Now, we've got everything dry, and it's not nearly as clean as I expected. So, now let's just go through and start cleaning it up little bit by little bit by little bit until we get that nice micro bang that has this perfect amount of texture that we want and looks good straight across and is as effortless to style as possible. And here's our micro bangs. I think patience with your bangs. Here we got some hanging over. We got this just mess of hair which I actually kind of like. And I think that the micro bangs really fit with this shape quite a bit. So, please be patient. You'll get there. Takes time.   Butterfly Curtain Bangs So, now let's go through and do some butterfly bangs. Butterfly bangs are a lot like the Birkin bang in its shape where it's shorter in the middle and it gets longer as it goes towards the sides, but it's application is a lot different because you're going to start over-directing and introducing a lot of movement to it. So, to learn how to cut curtain bangs we're going to start with a very, very small center section. Razor thin, wafer thin center section. Hold that forward and cut that somewhere above the eyebrows very gently, taking a pretty long broad stroke. Cutting that length off through there. Taking my time. Making sure I get the thickness proper and getting those ends very, very texturized and then looking and seeing how that starts to separate there in the front. If I feel that that's short enough, then I'll go with that. If I feel like I need to make it shorter, now is the time to do that. So, now let's go through take a parallel section. Start to hold everything over to the left. There's my guide from underneath. and then gently follow that guide as I cut down. I'll take the next section. Well, we'll just go ahead and take the whole thing. Hold that over at an angle which is parallel to my angle parting here. There's my line underneath. Cut that all the way across. Making sure you keep hair on this side of the section pinned out of the way so I don't pick that up and create a hair disaster for myself. Come on now. There we go. So now when we see we got this shorter in the middle gradually getting longer towards the sides, but since we have that movement that's introduced to it from pulling it to the left, it gets much lighter and airier as it goes over where the Birkin bang ended up hanging with that solidity. This lightens the whole thing up. Let's blow it dry and see what we got. All right, here's our butterfly bangs. You got nice and short, sassy in the middle, building up to a lot of length real quick on the edges here. A lot of texture through it. So, it has a tremendous amount of movement and airiness to it. And I think because it has that airiness and texture to it, that's what gives it the effect. She looks pretty good. I like this one. I like this one. So, there we go.   How to Cut the Bangs Takeaway The four most popular bang styles that you can get today. The key point to this is to just be patient. Make sure that you get the partings right.
