If you cut too much, you can't hang your hair. Now release your bangs and see how they are. If they are still too long, repeat the process by cutting more this time. Repeat these steps until you reach the desired result.

If your strands are quite thick, you might want to remove some weight from your hair by taking the top of the fringe (using the comb to separate it) and pulling that section of the hair forward with your fingers again. This time take the scissors and cut the stitches. 

This means that, instead of cutting parallel to the fingers, cut perpendicularly to the fingers to cut the hair (towards the fingers). Make sure you don't cut yourself.
