If we were to pinpoint one downside to bangs, it's how high-maintenance they are. We know the struggle of looking in the mirror just four weeks after getting bangs, stunned to find that what was once a smooth, sharp cut is now an uneven fringe that's inhibiting your eyesight. And because making frequent trips to the salon just to get a bang trim is unattainable for most, we're giving you a helping hand. Below, find everything you need to know about how to cut your own bangs in the comfort of your own home. You can thank us later.

All you need for DIY bang trims are seriously sharp, pointy scissors that are preferably professional (seriously, don't use your kitchen scissors). The Equinox Professional Shears ($18) are priced affordably (for being professional-grade) and boast an average of 80% 5-star ratings.
