6. Big Curls Side Sweep
Curls give your hair a more voluminous and thicker look. Your hair will bounce more when curled. Instead of ringlets, opt for big open curls that add less bounce but more volume. This is a great side-swept hairstyle for weddings.

Jessica Shults offers important hair styling advice, “You should not curl hair when it is still wet. If you want to use a curling iron, do it on second day hair, for two reasons. If you wash the hair, immediately blow dry, and then curl, you just put your hair through two heat stressors in a row, which is harsh on the hair. It’s best to give your hair a chance to relax between all heat treatments. Also the hair will hold better on slightly dirty hair, as opposed to clean hair in which the curl will fall out sooner.”

When it comes to side-swept hairstyles, you should learn how to work with your hair type to really oomph up your style. Learn some easy styling tips in the next section.
Styling Tips For Different Hair Types
Here are some quick and easy styling tips for different hair textures:
Straight Hair: For a sleek look, use a light mousse for volume, then sweep your hair to the side. Flat iron your locks to give it a sleek straight look and finish with hairspray to keep it in place. Curly Hair: Apply curl defining cream to enhance your hair texture. Once your curls are set, then gently sweep your hair to one side. Secure with pins or a clip or you can leave some curls loose for a softer look. Wavy Hair: Use a texturizing spray to enhance your waves, then loosely sweep your hair to the side. You can leave it down or add a braid for a fun twist.
How do you cut a side-swept undercut? Get an undercut hairstyle on your back and sides and leave a long section of bangs on top. Use a rat tail comb to define your hair and style it to your flattering side. How do you cut Korean side bangs? Section your hair and trim it so that the centermost smallest length falls below your nose and the outermost longest falls just past your lips. Volumize your bangs with hair rollers. If you follow popular hair trends, this one most certainly should be in your list. Can I incorporate accessories into my side-swept hairstyle? Yes, you can add hair accessories such as flowers, pearl clips, and beaded pins to elevate your looks to the next level. What is the difference between side-swept bangs and a regular side-swept hairstyle? Side-swept bangs refer to deep bangs that fall prominently on one side of your forehead and help soften your facial features, whereas regular side-swept hairstyles are hairdos where the hair is swept to one side (either side of the neck) and styled.
