Bangs have been around since ancient Egypt, but thanks to Michelle Obama they're hotter than ever. Hair expert Matthew Collins shares his tips on how to trim your own bangs.

• Use the comb as a guide. Hold it between your forehead and the scissors to prevent cutting yourself and to maintain a clean line.
• Dry cut your bangs so you know exactly how long they will end up.
• Always trim your bangs on an angle in small sections to avoid any drastic cuts.

The most important tip:

Before you begin, section your bangs into a top and bottom layer. Start cutting the bottom layer first; that way if you make any mistakes you can do it all again on top!
