Device for cutting bangs?

Answer:

SILENCER

Hint:

Not available

Explanation:

This clue plays on the double meaning of "bangs." In hairstyling, "bangs" are the fringe of hair cut across the forehead, but in firearms, a "bang" is the sound of a gunshot. A "silencer" (or suppressor) cuts that noise—so it "cuts bangs" in a clever twist. The answer isn’t about scissors but a gun accessory.
