I decided I want bangs. Can I cut them myself? If so, how? And, has anyone else tried it? How did it turn out?

I want bangs like Suri Cruise. You can see pictures of her bangs here:

WWW,

Do you already have bangs that need trimming? I do my own trimming but I would be scared to cut my own. If you are brave I found a site that might help.

How to Cut Your Own Bangs - wikiHow

Remember if you cut your hair while it is wet it will be shorter when it dries. Oops, I've done that before.

Good luck to you. It shouldn't be too hard. Listen to others who know.

I always cut my own. Most people do the thing where they over-cut when they do it themselves. Even bad hairdressers do it to people. I just use pictures for mapping how the hair should lay and cut it a little at a time. Kinda like trimming the hedges really.
Tips:
- only cut when its freshly washed and dry
- take your time
- have a reference picture
- move your hair around after a few snips or a snip to see how high it lifted from the snip and where you need to snip next

That cut is really easy to do you posted. Just find the reference point on the top of your head to pull the bangs from. (starter point)

Cut strait across below your eyes

Cut V cuts in the bang stopping the tip of the scissors just about mid forhead line. SMALL SNIPS
SMALL SMALL SMALL. You can always cut more but you cant put back whats gone.

While V snipping brush the bangs back and forth with your fingers to see how the cut directs the natural flow.

You may need to snip the bottom strait across again but leave room for the hair to "shrink" up after its washed again and not held down straiter by the weight of the longer style.

If you get frustrated take a break and finish it later. Dont try to fix it when you are ticked.
