 Hi, beautiful. Today, we're watching people. Hi, beautiful. DIY bangs. They never go good. They never go bad. They always stay rad. Hi, beautiful. Are you ready to get banged? Okay. Hi, beautiful. Bangs. Bangs. Bangs. Bangs. Bangs. Lenny, I don't know. Wait a minute. Let's watch people cut their own bangs and f**k them up. So bathy. A first-person video by Alexandria Zeal. I am going to be cutting my own curtain bangs. I am kind of nervous because I do have longer hair. If I cut it too short, it's going to take a long time to even out with the rest. Oh my God, your hair is beautiful. It's so thick and luxurious and so blonde. It's so naturally blonde. You have gorgeous hair. And when people have gorgeous hair to start with, I get even more worried about what the outcome is going to be. Very worried so far. I have zero experience whatsoever except for watching a couple tutorials. So I'm just hoping for the best and I'm going to try my best and do it. Great. Zero experience. I've watched a couple tutorials. Quickly pin back this hair. So this is the hair. Okay. The two front sections look relatively even. Not super crazy amazing even, but relatively even. We're all to a good start. Sort of. She definitely went a little too low with the section. This stuff at the top of the eyebrow, the, the, the, like there, you know, this one's going all the way down to the side of her head and I'm like, stop it right there. Don't go so far down. You're supposed to make sure you have a super center part. That's not looking to center to me. It's actually looking like a zigzag. I have this little score bottle I got from the Dollar Tree and I'm just going to spray it down. We're whipping up the water. It's getting hot in here. It's so hot. So whip out that water baby. I love that she's wetting her bangs. Nobody ever wets their hair before they start cutting and it's like, why? It's not that hard. Just take that extra step and just do it. It's going to help make the cut so much more easy and even and it's going to clump all that hair up into a little pile and it's going to fall to the floor and a little clump of wet hair instead of all those shards of hair everywhere that gets stuck in your foot. Definitely a PTSD from shards of hair. I've had an infected nail one time because of a shard of hair so be careful with shards of hair. They're dangerous. And comb it out and I've seen a video like this. I thought like in my mind this was just going to be a super easy process. Honestly, it should be because you just pull on one side to the other side and snipping it off. That's all you got to do to get a decent looking curtain bang. It's not going to be perfect. It's not going to be professional looking, but it's going to look good. It's going to be good enough that you don't look like a crazy person on the streets. And that's all we're going for here. You got this. I believe in you. I have this marker and since I don't trust myself I'm going to just mark in the hair so I can make sure like it looks right. What? Yo, this is definitely a new technique. This is something I have not seen before. Congratulations. You get an award for doing something that nobody's ever done before. Finally, I get something unique these days. I don't know what she's really doing with that marker. I don't know what she's marking like maybe the length she doesn't want to go past. I'll see. That's how it would play. I don't know if you guys can see it or not. I mean, it looks like it would work but it looks really dramatic. Should I do it? Do it, do it, do it, do it, do it, do it, do it, do it. So I'm going to mist it one more time. Brush it out. So far so good. I just looked at the title while I was saying that and said, watch me fail so you don't have to. Okay. So she's going to fuck up her hair. I don't understand how because so far so good. I don't know. I can't do it. I can't. That cut looked amazing. It was exactly how you're supposed to do this. So what's wrong? Oh my gosh. You're kidding. It definitely should be longer than that, right? Whoa. It looks perfect. All you need right now is a blowout. You just need to blow those bangs back and get a little wispiness on the ends and they will look perfect. I guess I'm going to try the other side too because I'm not going to have one weird side. No. Why do you look confused about the result? The result looks perfect. And how are we going to go wrong? Because there's still a lot of time left in this video. And all that hair, that's pretty long. I don't know if this worked or if I just cut my hair. I feel like it worked, right? It did work. Are we not seeing the same thing? Am I watching something different? What's going on? I guess the moment of truth. I'm not ready for this. Well, um... It's a sleigh. It's a sleigh for me. I'm impatient. I'm not going to watch another video. I'm going to just wean it and hope for the best. Well, where are we going now? I thought we were done. She needs some face framing in the front. But other than that, she looks like she's up to something. She looks like she's going to do a lot more to her hair. So I'm going to spray all of this hair down. Brush it out. What? Your hair next time? Like, actually wet it. I don't know what this damp stuff is. Wet it. You know what? I can cut my hair short again. Won't be the end of the world. Look at all that hair. Gone. Gone. I think that was also a very non-smart decision. All the rest of my hair is going to be a lot longer. And there's going to be, like, this cut off. I mean, this will blend together better. Going to see the curtain bang coming up. No, I don't. What just happened is what I'm wondering right now. Like, what exactly was the point of that? Now she has a bob in the front and long hair in the back. I don't think that's what you wanted. I thought you wanted curtain bangs. Where are we going with this? Look at all that hair. This is what it would look like with the short hair. She's, like, acting like it's a wig. Like, you literally just cut your hair short. You literally have short hair now. This is not a joke. That was your real hair. Are we good? Do I keep cutting? That's the question. And pretty deep. This is going to be, like, intense curtain bangs. Tomorrow, we'll come around now and we'll be, like, wet. What? Intense curtain bangs? It's a bob in the front and a party in the back. I have just completely lost track of what's going on at this point. I'm confused. So is she. What the fuck? Last year, I rage cut my hair all the way probably down here or even longer to, like, right here. All of it. I'm sorry. Is a rage cut different than what just happened? Probably not good. Okay. So we're going for a mullet. I'm here for a mullet, but I just don't think that's what she wanted. Even though, like, I don't know if this is exactly what she was looking for. Like, it doesn't seem like it was. It's a very, like, anime haircut. If she styled it, like, flippy on the ends, it will look so good. I don't even have any critiques in the technique because I feel like she's just kind of creating her own haircut at this point. I, is it, yeah. I have no comment. Oh, it keeps getting worse. It's, like, curt. Cool. What would you do if that was your head? I would freak out. I decided I'm going to just keep cutting. This isn't okay. Do you know if I have to cut short? Do you know what? Coming through the screen. I'm coming through the screen. I'm coming through the screen and I'm grabbing those f***ing shears out of your hand. I've seen enough. So I'll cut this section. That was really sloppy. So I think I'm gonna have to cut all my hair. Oh my gosh, I hate it. Hey guys, I'm back. It's been a couple days after the tragedy. It's not near as bad as I thought it was. It was still definitely a mistake. I think as long as I curl it, it'll be fine. I also think that after a couple months, once it grows out a little bit, it will, like, fit my face and the length a lot better. It's just really short. You're gonna tell me that at the end of the video? That whole thing was confusing. I don't know how we went from a curtain bang to the entire thing chopped in layers. And she seems fine with it. I think that if we just worked with this style and did the whole MMA princess moment like I want her to and just flipped everything out, I think it would be such a vibe and a look. What if we did the tips of her hair black? Dude, just like an inch of the tip of her hair. That would look fire to accent those tears that she just cut. By now, I'm not totally sure I align with what's going on. But as long as you're happy, I am happy or I'll try to be. But what the f*** happened? What? Up next we have a video by Ms. Bliss. I have this thing plugged in. I have scissors. I'm sweating. I am scared. Well, that makes two of us, Ms. Bliss. My palms have been sweating since the beginning of this video when it all started, when we started cutting cake tears into our hair. But let's see if you can do it better. Hopefully we don't get the same result we just saw. I'm over the middle part. Don't want to go back to the side part. I'm going to put some deodorant on so I can feel fresh after this and not like a stinky mental patient. You look so nervous, which makes me so nervous because if you're nervous, then it's probably not going to come out good. We haven't really started to do anything yet. So let's go into this with confidence and be like, I can do this, I'm going to kick a a** instead of the opposite, you know, because then you're just setting yourself up for failure. And here is where I'll begin the voiceover because in my head, I was thinking exactly what you were thinking right now. Your hair is not meant for this. Wet your hair! See how it's like she's trying to do a middle part but it's like popping back to their side. That's because your hair is not wet and it has no weight. If you just wet it, you guys, it'll have weights and it'll be able to section it whichever way you want and it'll just stay there. We're making this hard for ourselves. Damn. Just don't do it. Just stop there. Just stop. Yeah, it's not working, is it? Okay, but convince yourself it is. Fine, fine, just do whatever. The part looks sickening. It's very even, very crisp, very beautiful. And then to the edge of her eyebrow. That's a lot of hair. Okay, those are going to be very little bangs from what I can see. Honestly, they look like they already are bangs. They're already up to here. I don't know how much shorter we're going to cut them. We need a little more fringe, a little thicker. All right, sometimes with finer, thinner hair, we need to add more hair to that fringe section to make it look nice and full and not like little tiny pieces of hair. Just kind of greasy little bits just hanging in front of our face. Not that that's what yours look like yet. For some reason, this hair just does not grow right there. This side inevitably will have more hair, which is really frustrating. All right, it's already short. I'm just going to cut the tip of my nose. Oh, hold on. Hold on. Okay, so we're doing bang bangs. She's doing a full front fringe bang. Okay, I thought we were doing curtain bangs. I feel like I was like a front fringe on her. I feel like that would suit her face and I'm glad she's working her way up. Like she's doing it pretty long. She's going like down to the bottom of her nose with the first cut. It's a great idea. Well, there she blows and we did end up wetting the hair. Yeah. I win. Put her down the middle. Now I'm going to take this side, pull it over. Okay. Okay. All right. Um, okay. So we are doing curtain bangs. Why did we cut them so short? And why did we cut them in the front first and not just the second step she's about to do? Why don't we do that first? Open the corner. I'm going to pull it over. I mean, they still look cute. It's just a short curtain bang. But it's all about the styling. We'll see if she can pull it together. Now I'm going to blow dry it and see if that was short enough. She's going to blow dry and see if it was short enough. Uh, I think it was short enough. Now I'm going to do the second trick guys. It's with dry bangs. Going to pull all of them together. So then I'm going to pull it back, twist it once, and then two fingers down. Let me process. Let me take it in. These videos are really throwing me for a loop today. Um, what? I don't understand why would she decide to go shorter. And then she decided to put layers in her bangs. That's the part where she elevated the hair and then cut it. But her hair is already fine and thin. So layering it is just going to make it look like it's sparse. And that's the result we got. What the hell? Oh, but don't worry. We keep going. That's going to fly up and I'm going to look like a crazy chicken. It's cute for you. For me, not for me. I love how she just continues to try to style them. They just look like that and they are not going to change. Like that is all you're going to get. Mental breakdown initiated. Yeah, what did I just do? If you cut your bangs at home and you don't like them, don't continue cutting them. Just stop cutting them anyway and get them done by somebody. There's not much you can do here. You can get a clip on bang to just hold you over for a few months while this grows out. Um, you know, you're going to want to sell them very flat though. Glad to your foreheads that you don't get that bump at the top. You don't see your hairline. But otherwise, don't do it again. And I would love to see you with some face trimming layers just to blend everything in. Please. That was a major fail. I'm sorry. I don't mean to make you feel worse. Somebody just can't help but express what I'm feeling, you know? That's kind of my job these days. You made the video. I didn't. I didn't tell you to do it. Well, I probably did, but you did it. Up next, we have a video by Chloe Danielle. I have watched the breadmondo tutorial on how to cut curtain bangs. So that's what I'll be referencing today. Um, I see mail on the title and I see breadmondo in the title. I don't like those two things together, particularly. I'm going to say it wasn't my fault. Even before the video starts, it wasn't my fault. Mm-mm, it was all your fault. I blame you, Chloe. I've got scissors. I've got this comb with a pointy thing so that I can make proper sections. We got the tools and we got beautiful hair. Looks so silky and so soft and so long and luscious. But again, when we start with beautiful hair, all we can do is go down, you know? The first thing that I have to do is make myself a middle part. I don't know if this would work with a side part or like maybe you have to cut it in a middle part and then put your side part back. I am going to try and give myself a middle part. I cut everybody's bangs in the middle because either way, you part your hair, it's going to look good. And a lot of women and men and ladies and gents love to part their hair. You go like this, you know, you move it all around, you do different things. And if you cut your hair in the middle, it'll look good no matter what you do with it. And also, if you cut your hair on the side part, you're going to end up with bangs that go like all the way back on this side and then bangs that end like here on this side. You know, like there's going to be like really odd and off and it's not going to look right. Oh, yuck. It feels so weird to move your part. Like it feels wrong. What? Your hair. I was going to get very aggressive with it. But I decided to just be nice today, just be nice, be kind to people. Am I struggling? Why am I struggling? If I can't even do a part, how am I going to cut my hair? I feel like I don't suit a middle part. Oh, yuck. Ah, yuck. I'm going to start saying yuck, yuck instead of yuck. Feel like that's on a slight diagonal. Why is just parting my hair like harder than I thought? Because that's not too much. According to the Mondo Man, we need to grab like a triangle section. That is way too thin. Oh, girl. Look at those baby hairs. I didn't realize how many baby hairs I had. That looks like a lot of hair. You have quite thick hair. So maybe be a little conservative if you have thicker hair when you're doing a curtain bang. Otherwise, that's going to be a huge section of hair just cut up. And it's going to look very disconnected from the rest of your hair. But it is possible to blend it nicely and make it look good. I just don't know if you're going to do it at home very well. I'm just going to start with this. We can always add more to it, I feel like. No, don't add more. No, no, no, no, no, no. I'm going to try and match that amount on the other side. There's so many baby hairs under there too. This is the look. This is the hard part, matching the hair on both sides. So now we're going to like brush the whole part together. Oh, great. If I thought I couldn't see before, I definitely can't see now. Wait, how the frick frick? In the video, he says, how am I going to talk to you guys? What did I say in the video? Tell me. Because somehow everybody's skewing my words, all right? Doing things that I never said to do. I'm sure I said to wet your hair and your hair is not wet. Usually, one would use one of those spray sprints bottles. I, however, don't happen to have one. So I'll be using, I'm just going to... Guys, get it wet however you want. It doesn't matter the technique on getting it wet. You just want it wet. That is not wet enough. That's wet enough, right? Okay, so in the video, he cuts it like just below the chin. Been kind of a tiny bit longer. Room for some error. Where are we going with this? Why did we cut it straight across? I thought we were doing curved bangs. We got a crisscross, you know? We can't just boop. And then I expect the bangs to be like, boop. Doesn't work like that. We got to get the angling in there. Over direction creates beautiful, wispy angles within the hair. It's like the cat brought in a small animal. Okay, it's looking crazy. Uh-huh. Okay, so the next thing he does in the video is he kind of pulls it all forward like this. He gets one piece. He pulls it to the side and then he has it kind of on an angle. And I was like, a stair effect. Did I do that right? That looks amazing. That looks so good. She definitely needs a cleanup. And then he says, you check your work by making sure that the two front pieces are even and then you take the two end pieces. I would say they're even. Okay, I'm just going to clean them up. You're doing a brilliant job so far. Maybe they're too long and that's why they're throwing me off. The cutting bangs he cut end up like sitting about here and he cuts a lot more off when he does the cruise crossing thing. I'm going to try this again. You can definitely over direct even farther and cut more hair off and that will make that angle really steep. The more you over direct, the steeper that angle gets and the shorter the shortest piece gets. I like you love the sound of cutting hair. Like, look, that is not what I thought was going to happen. I'm just going to try my own method. All right. Okay. I've had enough today. Why does it look like that? I'm going to like stop actually taking more centimeters off and I'm just going to try and feather it because I don't want to take any more hair off. I'm scared. Put the scissors down on the ground. Throw them away. Don't ever look at them again. Just stop because they were looking good and now we're pushing it. We just keep going. They're not the curtain effect. They just go like, listen, they could look good with just a blow drive and reevaluate. A curtain bang is never complete until you have a nice wispy blow out. I don't know how the salvage is. I have to take my hair out because I have to see what it looks like. Oh my God. So I watched this video again and I hate to say it, but I think they're not short enough. He starts off with it like like just below the nose and I start them on way down here. Oh, I really don't want to take more off though. I'm just genuinely terrified. No. If you don't want to take more off, I don't want you to either. No. It feels so short. Give me a homework. Look at me, Brad. Does this look like I'm wrong to you? I just started cutting again. I didn't do it. Okay. Wait, I feel like they're kind of like that time. We just keep cutting. Just put the scissors down. It was good like five cuts ago, but we just keep going and from what? I'm just going to cut it again because I don't think the angle is like half enough. Okay. It's got a nice gradient here, but there's like a short piece here and I'm not sure how it got where the long stuff is supposed to be. I think that's not too bad. Wait, is that one side longer than the other? Ooh, we're going to pull it up to the side. I am just going to go in with that feather technique now because I want it to look blendy. I feel like that one looks all right. I'm going to put down the scissors now. I think I salvaged them, but I still don't think they're like perfectly blended. I think any hairstylist would cringe watching this. I guess we'll just start by... That looks wet enough, right? Why do we have a Dyson blow dryer and no round brush? If we're going to do bangs, at least have a round brush on hand. Put the damn nozzle on Dyson. Put it on. Look at one of my videos. I don't know. I have a bunch of videos on how to style bangs and shit, so if you want to see that, look at that. But we need a round brush. We need to go blow it all forward first and then push it all back. And then it'll make that nice sweeping thing we all love. But blow drying one side and then the other side, you're not going to get that sweepy bit. It's going to be very complicated to do it that way. I promise. Don't do it like that. I don't know how I feel about this one, Chief. I am genuinely trying my best. I don't want to look like this. I don't think it looks much different to before. They're just not working out for me. I don't know what to tell you. Like I can't say I didn't try. I was hoping that these bangs would be like a redemption arc for my hair because it's so like lifeless and boring. I can let them grow out and pretend like nothing ever happened. So in conclusion, I have regrets. They're not the bangs I asked for, but they're probably the bangs I deserve considering I didn't go to a hairdresser. The thing is like they're not bad. They just need help. For me, everybody with curtain bangs needs to have nice, wispy face framing that connects to the bangs. Or else it just looks like and with no layering, it's just like not for me. I think the length actually looks good. I think we need to get a better technique with the blow dry. Again, blow drying them forward, blow drying them back and letting them go and letting them just be wispy in the face. I think this is fixable. I know it is. And it's not that bad, but it's not great. But good job. I guess. Oh my God. Those were some of the scariest bang cutting videos I've ever seen. We're fine.
