I do not have that kind of bangs. Mine are not all the same length. I
would not have that kind. Might be okay for a little kid but that isn't my
style. And it doesn't work well for curly/wavy hair. Mine has to be
layered.

The problem I had the last time I did it was that I lost control of the
scissors and accidentally cut a section off way too short. It was all
downhill from there.
