Side-swept bangs or just side bangs are so stylish and versatile. The great thing for YOU is that side bangs suit ALL face shapes and can be worn both with short or long hair. Side bangs create an instant chic look because they sweep elegantly across the eye, uplift the face and draw the attention to the eyes. Jessica Simpson’s short hair has her bangs curve outside. The sexy side swept bangs compliment Jessica’s facial features and diva look.
Side bangs or side fringe add depth and versatility to a long hair style. The short hair style looks sassy and sexy with side bangs.
These bangs also relax and slim the angles of the face. The side fringe looks super sexy on Nicole Richie! It happens so that Nicole changes her hairstyle very often, however, always leaving the side bangs in her hairdo. They give her a divine and feminine look that dazzles every time.
Tip: Razor cutting or slide cutting gives your bangs a fresh and lively look. The razor cuts the hair ends at an angle so the hair blends better in the hairstyle.
How to fix your bangs in 3 easy steps
Believe it or not, side bangs are not hard to manage. To style your bangs always start with wet hair and apply some styling mousse or serum. Next blow-dry your roots and style your bangs using a hair brush. You can either sweep to the side or curve the ends. If you aim for a sleek effect you can use a flat iron. Finish by applying some hair spray.
Kristen Dunst has added very thick bangs to give the illusion of thicker and livelier hair.
Side bangs look great on short hair as well. Why not try the Mariska Hargitay hairdo. Mariska’s hair is smooth and straight, cut on graduated layers. For a versatile finish she has added side fringes.
Christina Ricci is looks astonishing with a blunt cut bob, offset by side bangs that flatter her face. She definitely stole thousand of glances with this hairstyle!
At the Speed Races premiere Christina added waves and volume to her bob but kept the side bangs.
Cameron Diaz also loves the fairy side swept bangs. Her hair is usually styled in soft face framing layers that compliment her facial features. Full swept bangs blend into her style.

Tired of the usual side-swept bangs? Try flipping it for a natural windblown effect! Put the large round brush on top of your fringe, glide it towards the end then roll them up away from your face and blow dry. Do this a couple of times until you reach the desired fanned style. If you choose to use hairspray to set it, get the one that has a light hold so that the bangs will have a natural bouncy effect.

Choppy bangs, uneven pattern, tons of layers and texture constitute a shag. It’s a devil-may-care type of hairstyle but still possesses good aesthetics. If you want softer ends, you can ask your stylist to razor cut them. It will remove the unnecessary bulk from your hair and give the style good movement.

Thank goodness for new hairstyling products! You can practically fake anything using them nowadays. Take for instance Monika Jagaciak’s low chignon with faux side bangs.
You can recreate the ‘do by first applying a texturizing cream all over a second day hair. Part your hair to the side before creating a 3-5 inch section. Gather the rest into a low chignon and secure with pins. Get the section that you did earlier and loop it under your left ear then secure the ends under the chignon with pins.
