Try Side Swept Bangs

Peering out from underneath side swept bangs is always sexy. Side bangs are usually kept on the long side. The length of your hairstyle will determine how long your side bangs will be. If you have a short hairstyle, your bangs will probably be at about ear level. If you hair is longer, the side bangs can go longer.

Here’s a few celebs who we think wear them well and a few tips on how to achieve them.

Long side swept bangs are flattering on all face shapes and work well on thin hair like Ashley’s Olsen’s. They should be cut at an angle that swoops down to the bottom of the ear lobe. To style, use a flat iron with flexible plates and gently pull bangs to the side toward the ear and twist the wrist to curl down.


Bangs like Jennifer Lopez’s should be cut so they meld into the layers and there are no sharp angles, creating a soft look. After washing, add a volumizing spray, then blow-dry with a flat brush.


Bangs like Jessica Alba’s are great for those that don’t want to go with a full bang and don’t want to worry about trying to grow the bangs out when you get tired of them.


Side swept bangs like Kelly Clarkson’s are fresh, young and versatile. Blow-dry them with your fingers for a more moveable and touchable effect.
