One of the biggest costs that you can avoid are trips to the hairdresser. Although I would hate to put myself out of business ( if I was still doing hair) it is possible to stretch a haircut. Learning how to cut "bangs" or the front of their hair can "buy" you a few extra weeks before you have to get the rest cut.
But first, does this look like the face of a kid excitedly hoping for a haircut? Yea, he wasn't too thrilled. Sorry buddy, I hate that long in the face thing the guys have going on right now.
Don't be afraid to cut your kids bangs. Just do a little at a time and QUIT while you are ahead! We all have horror stories of our Mother's cutting our bangs too short, so don't keep cutting, just walk away! But the most important thing is to layer the bangs to soften them up and blend them into the rest of the haircut.
Once you have the length cut. Pull the "bangs" up from the side and cut off the point to make them lay really well. Take a look at the video where I show you how.
This works well on husbands to extend the life of their haircuts also! Good luck, don't be afraid.
You can always start out practicing on the dog...

Cute video! Thanks for the tips.
I have always struggled with how to cut my children's bangs properly, so thank you for sharing the secret.
Are you allowed to call boy's bangs bangs?
Could you go to the TGF on Research and show the lady who just did my hair?
Please do more of these videos! So helpful.
Thanks for sharing. I try to stretch a hair cut by cutting my own bangs. I'll have to try the feathering tip. What kind of scissors do you use? I bought some supposed hair cutting scissors and they are awful!
Very cool tips! Thank you for sharing, I can't wait to try them!
Rachel,
I would suggest going over to Sally Beauty supply and spending about $40 for a pair of scissors for cutting hair at home.
I use a professional pair that I purchased for almost $360 they are German and I needed them when I worked in a salon.
Wow! Thank you SO much for that video. Your instructions were so clear.
Could you possibly do a tutorial on how to cut side swept bangs?
What is your opinion of thinning shears? to use on the sides/areas transitioning from the longer layers on top to the sides/shorter lengths?
I've been considering adding that to my supplies.
I have a pair of regular hair cutting scissors from Sally's that I like. We also have clippers. We have 5 boys & 1 girl. The boys hair takes much longer to cut than our daughter's hair.
I'd love to do a tutorial on side sweep bags! I just need a model... anyone???
thank you for the tutorial! Sayin' hello from Money Saving mom.
