How to Cut Choppy Bangs
Choppy bangs hairstyle is as cool as hair with bangs or fringes can get since they fall about in lovely and sharp angles.
If you want to cut your hair into choppy bangs then you are at the right place. We have a simple and easy method here.
- Begin with dry hair and trim your hair in a way to cut all the loose ends and frizzy splits at the front. This will give your hair a gentle tamed look making you appear more polished and well put together overall.
- After getting rid of all the splits and ends on your hair, apply some hair cream or oil on your hair to settle down the flyaway hair so that your hair is cut in equal length and portions on both sides. This will also enable you to keep your hair in the desired grip while you are cutting it later.
- Now you need to separate your hair which you want to cut into bangs. For this, you need to side-part your hair from both sides and then hold the hair at the middle in one hand. Tie it with a clip and then pull the rest of your hair in a ponytail. This will enable you to get a clear idea of where to put your scissors to work while cutting the bangs. You may not need to follow this step if you already have bangs since they will guide you regarding the size of the bangs and will also enable you to separate the hair to be cut from the other one easily.
- Now comb through the front piece of hair you took out that would be your bangs and cut them either to the length of your cheeks or the bridge of your nose. Always make sure never to cut above the fingers but below. (whichever you prefer for the length of your choppy bangs).
- The fun part begins here! Take a strand of your cut hair from any random point and twist it. Make sure that the strand is not thicker than a pencil to give it a more angular and choppier look once the bangs are cut and styled.
- Pick the strand from the middle of your hair if you want to keep track and system to the cutting of your bangs.
- Now after having twisted your strand well, you need to pick up hairdressing scissors and place them at an angle of 45 degrees on the strand of hair that you have picked.
- Keep the direction of the scissors downwards while you cut a little bit at a time so that there is a nice choppy texture to your hair when you get done with cutting the bangs.
- Cut it till your eyebrows or somewhat longer, if you prefer so. Then untwist your bang and see if it has the desired choppy texture and length. If yes then proceed on to the next strand and repeat the same process of twisting, angling, and cutting.
- Once you are done with chopping the bangs, you might need to ruffle the hair and style it to make sure you reach the desired choppy look.
Follow these steps and you will be able to get yourself some nice choppy bangs even if you have never had them before.

3. Short Choppy Bangs
Short choppy bangs can give a classic bob a more modern and fashion-forward appearance. The side sections angle sharply towards the chin while the choppy fringe curves around the shape of your eyebrows.
If you prefer a more casual, tomboyish bob, razor cut the bangs and sides and give it a tousle at the top.
4. Bob with Choppy Bangs

- Make sure you comb through the bangs before cutting again.
- If you are unsure if you should cut more, style them first and then decide if you need to cut more.
