When I first got them, I cut my bangs on my own. I spent an entire evening agonizing over getting it perfect. It worked out great. The twisting worked for me too.
After a while of growing them out and trimming, I thought I'd go to a hairstylist and have them trim it for me. I figured, I already had the base there for them, and they're the professional, it should be fine, right?
Not fine. They ignored the perfect U/V shape I had partitioned out, just combed my hair haphazardly forward, didn't clip the rest back, snipped a couple times, and then tossed me out of the chair. Never again.

Western hairstylists and youtubers also never acknowledge the importance of sidelocks at all. Weird to me since they usually come standard issue for clip-in bangs anyway.

My main bit of advice is to start with a really shallow v, like an inch into your hairline, cut out lil wispy bangs. Then brush more forward, make a new v, use your previous cuts as a guide, and thicken the bangs up a bit more. Keep going deeper and deeper into your hairline until you get the look that you want. Western bangs tend to keep their bangs really shallow. You can experiment if you prefer more of a V or more of a U.
