6 Popular Types of Side-Swept Hairstyles for Women
1. Side Swept Free Bangs
Bangs are a hairstyle that goes well with the entire side-swept theme. Bangs have always been a staple when it comes to women’s fashion, and this is something that can change a person’s look drastically. This kind of look is also incredibly easy to pull off since it requires little to no maintenance, especially if you are going in for beach bangs or the messy hair look.
The only thing that one needs to be familiar with this kind of hair is the blowdrying that one needs to do. Because side-swept bangs tend to be thinner than the rest of your hair, they can dry unevenly rather quickly. If you want something that won’t cause your hair to get out of hand, drying it first is the best way to get the best look.
Bangs are also incredibly versatile to work, which means they are incredibly easy to change if you are tired of the side-swept look.
2. Rocker Girl Bangs
If you are looking for some of the low-maintenance side-swept cuts and hairstyles for women, rocker girl bangs are something that you should consider. This is a look that tends to look better the messier it is, which also makes it one of the best low-maintenance hairstyles that one can go in for. These bangs are also great because they work with almost any kind of face shape, and can look great no matter what style you choose to showcase.
The key to this look is the imperfection factor. This kind of look doesn’t need to be prim and proper all the time, which is why people choose this over traditional bangs that otherwise need maintenance. The length of these is also something you won’t have to worry about for a while unless you want to change your look.
3. No Bang Bangs
All of us have wanted gorgeous bangs at some point, but having your hair all over your face can sometimes get more annoying than one would envision. If you want to go in for the side-swept bangs look without actually having bangs, going in for the no-bang look is one option. In this, the bangs are cut in a way that makes them seem a lot longer than usual, making it easier for you to sweep it to the side and tuck it behind your ear. The result is stunning and is a look that can be worn for almost any occasion.
This kind of hairstyle lets you get out your bangs and style them whenever you feel like getting that dolled-up look. Because of that, this hairstyle can work for almost anyone!
4. Layered Bangs
Layering the hair tends to go incredibly well with different kinds of side-swept bangs and can work well when styled properly. This look is not all that high maintenance but needs attention to keep it flowing well. For this kind of hairstyle, you can either choose to go in for the messy beach waves look or something that appears more structured and well put together.
One factor that makes layering bangs work incredibly well is its versatility in terms of hair length. These kinds of bangs work well when done on longer hair and can also look stunning on shorter hair. No matter what hair length you have, this is one look you most certainly will be able to pull off.
5. Bob Bangs
Side-swept bangs paired with a bob are a staple that several celebrities have tried out and kept for a long period of time. This hair works well with several looks and can go well with almost any outfit you wear. The key point to note in this kind of hairstyle is the structure of the bob itself. Keeping your hair at the right length is essential if you are going in for a sleek bob. Just a few strands of hair growing longer can break the entire look. Because of this, the bob with side-swept bangs can be a harder look to maintain.
Going in for a layered messy bob is a good alternative for those who want to keep their hair short, but don’t want to have to go through the trouble of maintaining this look. In a messy bob, you don’t have to worry about the length of your hair constantly; you can even choose not to style it and go in for the ideal look.
6. Pixie Bangs
With some of the biggest celebrities flawlessly pulling off the pixie look, there is no doubt that this is one classic that is here to stay. The pixie haircut can go brilliantly with side-swept bangs because of the added flair that it provides with this kind of hairstyle. If you are on the lookout for a low look that doesn’t require you to put in much effort daily, this is something that you will love. The pixie haircut does, however, need to be maintained, which is why you may need to visit your stylist a little more often if you don’t want your hair to grow out weirdly.
The pixie haircut also has the look of making the person sporting this look appear younger. It can define your face, adoring certain features you may want to highlight. This look is versatile and can work for almost any event or occasion, whether a fancy formal night or a cozy day.
Best Ways to Side Sweep Your Hair
The trick to getting side-swept hair is making it look effortless while building it to stay in place throughout an event. It is not as simple as pulling your hair to one side and calling it a style.
The first option is to visit a stylist before your big event. A stylist gives you the waves you want and is also able to accommodate shorter hairstyles with deep parts.
If you want to style yourself, be sure to follow these tips for medium to long hair:
- First, you need to dry your freshly cleaned hair. The idea is to focus the heat downward so your hair dries smoothly and flat. If your hair tends to be unruly, use a round brush during the smoothing.
- Apply hairspray to your dry hair. Hairspray gives it hold for curling it and keeps it in place throughout the day.
- Create a hidden ponytail on one side of your head. Pull your hair to the side and only tie up a portion. The ponytail keeps everything pulled to the side throughout the day.
- Use a curling iron or wand to build loose waves into the hair you have left out of your ponytail. Inch-wide sections of your hair are a good size for full waves. For variety, curl in different directions.
- If you prefer a straight look, skip the previous style step.
- Hit your hair with another spray of hairspray, and then separate some of your curls.
Side-Swept Bangs for Your Daily Style
Another way to add a swept look to your hair is with bangs. Wispy bangs that are long and brushed to the side. If you are on the fence about getting bangs, this is a great transitional option to give bangs a shot.
Just cut your hair into long bangs and brush them to the side for daily wear. If bangs aren’t right for you, they are easy to grow because they aren’t too short. Note that bangs require regular trims if you want to keep the style for the long run.
Bridal Hair Adding the Side Sweep
If you don’t want the standard updo but still want to maintain an elegant look, a side-swept look is a strong option for your wedding day. This look doesn’t get dated because it is a classic feminine and stunning hairstyle. Show off your hair while still managing it by choosing this look.
