You can frame your face quickly and easily, just by knowing how to cut your hair around it. Use your bangs as your guide or create your own guide. Trimming your hair around your face helps define and accentuate your facial features. If you've got great high cheekbones for example, framing your face is a great way to show them off.
Of course, it's a great cut for other face shapes! In fact, most facial shapes can benefit from having fringe surrounding their face.
You will need a good pair of shears/scissors to make the cut. Depending on whether you're right handed or left handed, the haircut is easier on one side and a bit more difficult on the other side. No worries though. These two videos explain just how to do it. You can always ask a friend to help you if you need it too. The trick is to always cut in a straight line and eliminate triangles. Triangles in your hair keep your hair from looking blended. Eliminate them if you're trying to blend your hair!
Take baby steps too. Best to take off too little and cut more later, than take off too much and make a hair mess.
Cutting your own hair is challenging, but when you're trying to save money, a girls gotta do what a girls gotta do. Just take your time and go slowly. The more time you take, the better your hair will look!
