    I think people tend to get too close to the bangs when they cut, meaning that they lean in super close to focus. That makes it really difficult to get a sense for how the bangs look in reference to the hair around it. Try cutting from a little further back next time.

    Blow dry it thoroughly from above to prevent any loose strands of hair from sticking out. If there are any cowlicks or creases in your bangs, it's going to dramatically alter the quality of your look.

    Well, that depends! Faces with elongated foreheads always should have a bang, as it will make the face look shorter. On the other hand, round faces don't really look good with bangs, as they make the face look too large.

    An oval face can basically wear any type of bangs. You can have an angled bang, a full bang or even a french bang. What I recommend, though, is an angled bang!

    I have horrible looking side bangs, and I want to do this with them. How hard do you think that would be with my very short side bangs?
    Community Answer
    I would recommend growing them out a little more before you fix them, because you don't want your bangs to be too short. If they are as horrible looking as you say, try pinning them back or French braiding them in while you grow them out.
