Flick Cutting

1.Choose the right scissors. Make sure you have shears that are specifically for cutting hair. Test them on a piece of string to make sure sharpness is adequate.[4]

2.Create a triangular patch with your bangs. The base of your triangle will be atop the head, approximately the width spanning the distance between the pupils of your client's eyes.[5] When uncertain of length or position, you should cut less, re-comb to check the cut, and then remove more if necessary.

3.Hold your bangs to the opposite side. If your bangs fall to the left, you should hold and cut them on the right, and vice versa. Gauge your target length more accurately by holding the bangs in front of the face. Imagine your cut beginning at the tip of the nose and falling to eye level, reaching the cheekbone.
You should take hair in manageable segments. Each segment should be about an inch thick.
Be sure you hold the hair slightly away from your head. This will help you cut into them and will keep you from hurting yourself.

4.Twist and cut the hair. Twist the hair you are holding gently towards the back of the head and cut along the line you have chosen for your bangs. Start your twist at the middle of the hair in segments that are about half-inch long.[6] Your target cut will be angled to one side, instead of the rounded shape you might cut normally.
Cut gently. Don't close your scissors all the way when you cut. Instead, delicately squeeze until the hair is clipped.

5.Re-comb and reevaluate. Many fringe cuts suffer because of chunkiness or excessive shortness. By combing and reevaluating after you cutting short segments, you limit your chances for mistakes.

6.Finish strong. Continue cutting into your hair one chunk at a time until you've reached the longest part. At this point, you should have the side-swept look you're seeking.

7.Comb your hair one last time. This is your quality check. Run the comb through your bangs to make sure your look is right and the hair falls as you intended.
If your bangs are still too long, trim them further.
If they look uneven, work carefully to cut into problem areas until you have a smooth finish.
