Brush hair back to make it easier to section out the bangs.

Use a fine-tooth comb to section your bangs in a triangle section. Start at the top of the bangs, and then brush downwards.

Use the comb to section the bangs in half, into two different parts. Slide fingers forward down one of the sections the section, leaving visible about a half an inch of hair - only the jagged ends that need to be cut.

Instead of cutting the hair straight across, angle the scissors upwards to cut the hair an angle. This will create a soft, clean line.

Start on the first section; once you're done cutting that, move on to the second section, making sure the sections match in length.
