SIDE SWEPT BANGS ARE OUR
CURRENT OBSESSION
Side-swept bangs are back, and they're not just making a comeback; they're taking the world of hairstyles by storm! Picture this: Hollywood's brightest stars like Priyanka Chopra Jonas, Dua Lipa, and Emily Ratajkowski strutting down the pink carpet, flaunting their fabulous side-swept bangs. But hold on, because this hairstyle isn't just a trendy flash in the pan—it's a timeless classic. Now, let's turn back the clock a bit. We're talking about the golden era of Hollywood, where screen legends like Audrey Hepburn and Marilyn Monroe first rocked the side-swept bangs look. Fast forward to today, and these bangs are making a sensational return. They've got a chameleon-like quality that allows them to effortlessly match various face shapes, hair types, and fashion styles. It's like a blast from the past with a modern twist.
20 WWW.WMHINDIA.COM
THE GOLDEN TO MODERN ERA Side-swept bangs—or side bangs—are where the front section of hair is cut shorter than the rest and swept to one side of the face. Now, let's fast forward to the 2000s and 2010s, where the sideswept bangs trend took a fascinating turn. As one hairstyling expert puts it, "people began to make the side-swept bang their own." It was an era of selfexpression, where this classic style underwent a delightful transformation. Side-swept bangs weren't confined to a single look; instead, they became a canvas for creativity. They graced pixie cuts and flowed gracefully on longer layered styles, showcasing their incredible versatility. Fast forward to today, and the magic of side-swept bangs remains undiminished. The present-day approach is all about personalization, tailoring them to seamlessly blend with your chosen hairstyle. It's a journey of self-expression and style evolution that knows no bounds. To WMH INDIA MAGAZINE-SEPTEMBER-2023 21
ignite your inspiration before your next salon appointment, we've curated ten captivating side-swept bang hairstyles that are suitable for every hair length and cut. Let your hair be your canvas for self-expression. Side swept bangs first gained popularity in the late 2000s, thanks to celebrities like Zac Efron, Miley Cyrus, Selena Gomez, and Demi Lovato. These stars rocked the side fringe look, and it quickly became a trend among teenagers and young adults. However, as with any trend, side swept bangs eventually fell out of favor and were replaced by other styles.
22 WWW.WMHINDIA.COM
The Bangs Renaissance In recent years, we've seen a renaissance of bangs in general. From curtain bangs to micro bangs, there seems to be a bangs style for everyone. But why are side swept bangs making a comeback? One reason could be the versatility of this style. Side swept bangs can be tailored to suit different face shapes and hair types, making them a popular choice among hairstylists and clients alike.
Celebrities Leading the Styling Tips and Tricks Way Celebrities often play a significant role in influencing hairstyle trends, and side swept bangs are no exception. Bella Hadid and Dua Lipa, two influential figures in the fashion and entertainment industry, have recently been spotted sporting side swept bangs. Bella Hadid has embraced a y2k-inspired look, pairing her side fringe with small tinted sunglasses and motorcycle jackets. Dua Lipa, on the other hand, has been rocking a goth-adjacent style with her jagged side fringe and dark eye makeup.
If you're considering trying out side swept bangs, there are a few styling tips and tricks to keep in mind. Melbournebased salon owner Tara-Lee Mitchell recommends keeping the fringe soft and feathered to give it a modern touch. This can be achieved by using a round brush to blow-dry the bangs and gently tousling them with your fingers. Another option is to twist the hair to one side and secure it with clips for a slick side fringe look.
WMH INDIA MAGAZINE-SEPTEMBER-2023 23
Face Shapes and Side Swept Bangs One of the reasons side swept bangs are so versatile is that they can flatter a variety of face shapes. For those with round faces, side swept bangs can help create the illusion of length and balance out the face shape. If you have a square face, side swept bangs can soften the angles and add a feminine touch. Oval faces can pull off almost any bangs style, including side swept bangs. It's essential to work with a hairstylist who can customize the bangs to suit your unique features.
24 WWW.WMHINDIA.COM
The Side Fringe Comeback on Social Media Social media platforms like Instagram and TikTok have played a significant role in the resurgence of side swept bangs. Influencers and content creators have been showcasing their side fringe looks, inspiring others to give it a try. Michelle Bañares, a popular content creator, demonstrated how to style straight bangs into a slick side fringe by twisting the hair and securing it with clips. Her transformation showed a cooler, more grown-up version of the side fringe.
Conclusion Side swept bangs are making a comeback, and it's no wonder why. This versatile hairstyle can flatter different face shapes and add a touch of elegance to any look. With celebrities like Bella Hadid and Dua Lipa leading the way, side swept bangs have become a popular choice among fashion-forward individuals. If you're considering trying out this trend, consult with a hairstylist to find the perfect side swept bangs for you. Embrace change and have fun experimenting with different hairstyles to find your unique style.
