To make a low messy bun hairstyle look a little softer, add a thick side swept bang. Actress Elizabeth Banks flaunted hers beautifully with perfect large red earrings and bold black eyeliner. 

2. Wavy Bob

Without side swept bangs, a bob can sometimes come across a little like a Karen haircut – uptight and hoity-toity! On an assymetrical bob with wavy texture, straighten your side swept bangs for that chic touch. 

3. Straight Layers with Highlights

To give a short bob a little movement, have your stylist cut in short layers that blend with side swept bangs. When adding waves or curls, the texture will be more noticeable. Of course, fun highlights in a dark shade help too!

4. Straight Long Pixie

A long pixie haircut is perfect for that combination of short hair with enough length to play with. A thick side bang that is straightened is the way to make it edgy yet sophisticated.

5. Thin Haircut with Choppy Bangs

Looking for that perfect punk hairstyle for your long hair? Cut in lots of layers at the top to create body. A choppy straightened side swept bang should be kept short to match the overall vibe.

6. Updo with Side Bangs

If you don’t already have side swept bangs, you can create the illusion of them on a high updo by flipping your ponytail forward on the last loop. The hair will then drape across the forehead and you can straighten it to make it easy to shape.
