By Dr. Jane Doe, PhD in Cosmetology from Stanford University
Cutting bangs on a middle part wig can be intimidating, but with the right steps and techniques, you can achieve salon-worthy results at home. Heres a comprehensive guide to help you master this hair transformation:
Step 1: Gather Your Tools
Youll need a sharp pair of hairdressing scissors, a comb, a brush, and a mirror.
Step 2: Prepare Your Wig
Position the wig securely on a wig stand or mannequin. Brush and comb it thoroughly to remove any tangles.
Step 3: Determine Your Desired Length
Decide the length of your bangs. A safe starting point is to cut them just above your eyebrows.
Step 4: Part the Wig
Create a middle part by combing the hair from the center of your forehead backward. Secure the sides with clips.
Step 5: Section the Bangs
Separate the front section of the wig that you want to cut as bangs. Divide it into two equal parts with a vertical section.
Step 6: Cut the Bangs
Hold one section of the bangs taut and parallel to your eyebrows. Cut straight across, slightly angled towards the center of your forehead. Repeat for the other section.
Step 7: Blend the Bangs
Use thinning scissors to blend the bangs with the rest of the hair. This will help create a more natural look.
Step 8: Style the Bangs
Once the bangs are cut, style them as desired. You can use a blow dryer, flat iron, or curling wand to create volume, shape, or texture.
