How daring will you act? Consider whether you want a dramatic, edgy design or a gentle, romantic appearance. While soft styles have smooth gradients and wispy endings, bold looks frequently have abrupt ends and variable lengths.

Step by Step: How to Cut Bangs on Your Wig
It’s time to get down to the details now that you have your equipment set and a general understanding of how to choose the best bangs for your face. Here are comprehensive step-by-step directions for cutting bangs on your wig.
Put your wig on first (or on a wig stand)
Put on your wig after making sure it is somewhat clean and dried. Cutting your bangs while wearing your wig will help you see what you’re doing clearly. Additionally, it will keep the wig full, making it simpler to trim. Your wig can be displayed on a wig stand if you don’t want to wear it. Simply ensure that it is absolutely straight and fasten it using T-Pins to prevent movement while you work.
Play with the hair to see how you want your bangs to fall once your wig is on and stable. To properly visualize how your bangs will appear after being chopped, fold and tuck the hair. To determine the aesthetic you want to go for, be sure to look at a lot of reference pictures throughout this process. You can’t undo cutting your wig once you’ve done it. Therefore, before beginning, be certain that you are clear on your goals.
Step two is to shape your bangs.
Choose the section of hair you wish to use for the bangs by using your comb to separate the wig. Brush the hair forward and create a triangle portion in the front center. Use a hair tie or clip to keep the remaining hair from getting in the way. After you’ve cut your bangs, use a comb to smooth out the hair and get rid of any tangles or knots.
Measure the length of your bangs in step three.
Determine the length you desire for the bangs by running your fingertips along their length. Cut a few inches off if you intend to remove a lot of length. Be sure to let the bangs stay longer than you intended. You have the option to later leave the hair longer by shaving off less hair than you intend to remove.
Step 4: Make a 45-degree angle cut to the bangs.
With one hand, tighten the bangs, and the other, trim your hair. Snip the bang from the middle to each side while holding the scissors at a 45-degree angle. To prevent errors, try not to remove more than a quarter-inch at once. Once the bangs are almost at the desired length, cut them even shorter.
Fifth step: Review your work
Take a step back and inspect your new bangs once you’re satisfied with their length. Check for any spots that need to be evened out, and if so, touch them up. If the cut is to your liking, try tousling the hair to examine how it lays in various ways.
Step 6: Add any necessary details.
Finish your touch-ups and if your bangs require any extra attention, go ahead. By gently cutting straight through the ends of your bangs while angling your scissors at a 90-degree angle, you can also soften them. You can proceed to the final stage after you’re pleased!
Step 7: Comb your fresh bangs in
After cutting your bangs to length, style them as desired. You might try a trendy middle part or sweep them to one side. Additionally, you can use a straightener to polish them or a curling iron to give them some texture. Determine which look suits you best, then make any necessary tweaks.
