I had a request on how I do my side swept bangs, so I decided to do a tut! I hope you all like it, and please ignore the fact that I have NO makeup on, and I have huge dark circles under my eyes, because I am soooo tired.

What you will need:

Gel or Mousse

Large Round Brush

Hair Dryer

Wide Toothed Comb

Hairspray

Curling Iron 1" or larger

Step 1

While your hair is still damp separate your bangs from the rest of your hair, and comb them.

Step 2

I'm using Aussie's Aussome Volume Hair Gel. You can use Mousse as well, I just prefer the gel like hold and texture.

Take a dime size amount of gel between your pointer finger and thumb and run it through your bangs.

Step 3

This is how your bangs should look after they have been geled.

Step 4

Take your large round brush and roll your bangs upwards, and start drying.

Step 5

Another view of drying my bangs, so you can see how I roll it upwards.

Step 7

This is how your bangs should look after blowdrying. Spray lightly with hairspray.

Now, dry the rest of your hair.

Step 8

Pull your bangs straight up in front of your face.

Step 9

Take your curling iron and roll your hair like-so. I don't know how to describe this, so I hope the picture helps a little. :) /emoticons/[email protected] 2x" width="20" height="20" />

Step 10

This is how your bangs should look after your release them from the curling iron.

Step 11

Spray lightly with hairspray and let them cool.

Now, go show off those sexy side swept bangs!

 
It's amazing how all that up curling makes it look like that!! I am going to try it tomorrow morning!!! I am sure it takes some practice...

If I do it crappy - HALF PONY!! HAHA!

BTW - You are SO CUTE!

 
Thank you bluebird! Let me know how it goes!

Alex- if you mess it up, just re-wet your bangs, and try again. It took me a couple of tries before I got the hang of up curling. It kinda feels weird at first.

That's how I do the sides of my hair as well. Just pull them straight up and curl them back. I swear, I'm so glad I found out about the little up curling trick. It's my HG hairstyle, if there is such a thing!

You guys will have to show me pictures, and let me know how it goes! I'm sure you both will do fine, and it will look awesome!

 
Hmm I cant see most of the pics, but thanks for the tut! Heyyy did you dye your hair, it looks darker!?

 
Yeah, I did it on Sunday. The jury's still out on whether I like it or not. :lol:

Not very long. Just until the hair feels warm.

 
I used to do my bangs like that! Although I think you can get your bangs to look like this without using so many steps.. I think you used a bit of mousse and a round brush (of course a blow dryer) you can get those bangs easily. I used my flat iron on a low-heat setting and straightened them and they came out looking like yours.

 
I did just the curling step tonight because I couldn't stand it I had to try!!!!

Since my hair had been Chi straitened it's not coming out as well...but I understand the concept now!!

When it's all done up tomorrow (and my makeup is still on) I will put a set of pics up there :) /emoticons/[email protected] 2x" width="20" height="20" />

 
so that's how it's done! now i've just gotta wait for my bangs to grow out a bit before i can try that.

 
I've always wondered how to achieve this look. Thanks so much for the great tut!

 
thanks for posting.

my bangs never do what i want them to do so this might come in handy.

 
You look really cute, I really like your hair color too!!! I'm thinking of cutting my bangs a little bit and I wanted to do that style
