What was Jennifer’s hair like when she first came to your salon?
I’ve been doing Jennifer’s hair forever. When I first met her, she had long, one-length hair with bangs, and she was like, “Don’t cut my hair—I want my hair long.” But I’m a hairdresser, so I obviously cut her hair and told her she needed to grow her bangs out. I cut a couple inches off and layered it from her bangs down to the ends. Then I taught her how to pin the bangs over with a bobby pin and make them flat—remember how everyone was doing that on the first year ofFriends? Six weeks later, she came back to the salon for another haircut—her bangs were longer, and we just cut a little bit more off her length. The next thing you know, her bangs were down to her chin, and the rest of her hair was at her shoulders in these long, loose layers that sort of flipped out—and that’s what we called the Rachel.

Bangs are especially gorgeous with hair pulled back. They're great for hiding a large forehead. If you have a big forehead and no bangs, ponytails won't look good on you. With bangs? Perfect. We like the flip Nicole is sporting here. You can get this effect with a round brush and a blow dryer. Spray in place.

Hilary Swank was looking good at the Looking For Eric premiere at the 2009 Cannes Film Festival. Not only does she sport a sleek updo with sideswept bangs, but she has a pretty fresh face as well. Definitely day-appropriate.

Or in other words, do bangs take your hair (and maybe your whole look)
down a couple notches on the formal-ness scale? Yes, this might win the
random question award for the week, but it occurred to me when I saw
this shot of Ali Larter at a screening of "Obsessed". Which, by the by, I am
kind of obsessed with, insomuch as the previews are making me want to
brave one of NYC's horrible, overcrowded movie theaters and see it
a.s.a.p.

This medium-length hairstyle is another version of the 'It' style for '06: Long layers that frame the face. This look is flattering on all face shapes & looks extra great with a few face-framing highlights. This is one of the best haircuts to grow out, as well.

When I was a kid, my mom used to trim my bangs. My sister's, too. There are school photos where our hair was as crooked as our teeth (this was pre-braces). Oh mom! Love you so, but a hairdresser you were not.
One time when getting my haircut, I told my stylist how I cut my own bangs. I thought she would be mad, but she told me I did a pretty good job...though she reminded me that I could go in for a free bang trim. I never do -- who has the time? She did share some other tips with me on how to trim my own bangs. It's a great skill to know to prolong your haircut. Plus, if you cut your daughter's bangs, she won't end up looking like me in my 4th grade class photo.
- Trim bangs when hair is dry. Wet hair is longer -- if it's dry you can see exactly how short to go.
- Visualize hair as it hangs naturally how much needs to be trimmed. Smooth bangs in hands and pull bangs down, holding between pointer and middle fingers, and pull away from the face.
- Hold the scissors with the tips pointing up and at an angle and snip small sections at a time. Don't cut straight across.
- It's best to trim less and then review when you are done to see if you need to trim a little more.
