New 'Do: My DIY Bettie Bangs

Cut me some Bettie bangs the other day! Here is how I did it:

Top row L-R:

1. Before - side swept medium length bangs, from my side part.

2. I set a comb on my head and balanced it, and where it started to rise off my head, I used a rat tail comb to define what hair I'd use for bangs. I went from that spot in a half circle around to my temples on each side. Then, I used a headband and some snap clips to keep unwanted hair out of the way.

3. I sprayed the bangs hair and combed it forward.

Bottom row L-R:

4. I started in the middle and cut my bangs just to the top of my eyebrows, and contined across to my temples, with a slight incline for the U shape as I neared my hairline.

5. I blew my bangs dry and touched up the line... It honestly isn't perfect, but when styled, no one will ever know!

6. I used my straightener to flip the ends under, and voila! Bettie bangs :)

Here are a couple photos of my hair totally styled with them:

I'm loving them so far! And I left them a little longer and with a less dramatic U shape so I can pull them back or curl them into a different face frame if I want.
