    You can, but it's more important to cut split ends the longer your hair is, and bangs don't typically get very long. If you have too many split ends, the split ends will travel up the hair shaft and lead to breakage. So if you don't cut the split ends out, your hair will eventually need to be cut back much shorter than you normally do.

    You'll need to remove weight. Try holding the bangs straight up into the air and cutting vertically into the lower half of the strand. You can also pull straight up, twist once, and cut into the ends.

    Use a round paddle brush on dry bangs. Lift the hair as little as possible, holding the brush as close to your forehead as you can and drying with the nozzle of the dryer directly behind the brush. At the ends, turn the brush in slightly to create a bevel.

    I am planning to get a fringe, but I'm not sure it will look good on me. Any advice?
    Community Answer
    There are apps that enable you to see how you would look with bangs, try Haircut Studio for Android or Hairstyle Wizard for iOs. Bangs suit just about everyone, though.

    Clip them back or go to a hair stylist. For clipping them back, you can use a hairpin or bobby pin.

    This all depends on your personal preference. Most bangs are just a bit above eyebrow level.

    I have thick eyebrows and an oval face, what kind of bangs should I try?

    Wispy bangs (the ones that can also be called see-through bangs) would look good to accentuate your face shape and eyebrows.

    Should my mom cut my bangs or go to a hair stylist?

    Community Answer
    It depends. If your mom has done it before and knows how to do it you can let her do it but if you feel more comfortable going to a hair stylist or your mom hasn't done it before you can go to a hair stylist.
