Hey beautiful! Let me tell you, there’s something absolutely magical about side part bangs with long hair. I’ve been working with clients for years, and this style never fails to transform someone’s entire look. Whether I’m backstage preparing someone for a major event or teaching in my studio, I always find myself coming back to the versatility and sophistication of side-swept bangs.
I remember the first time I really understood the power of a side part with bangs. I was fresh out of beauty school, working on a photoshoot in New York, and the model had the most gorgeous long hair but felt it was too plain. We created a soft side part with sweeping bangs, and I watched her entire face light up. The asymmetry brought out her cheekbones, softened her features, and gave her this effortless, movie-star quality. That moment taught me that sometimes the most classic looks are classic for a reason.
Throughout my career, I’ve experimented with countless variations of side part bangs on long hair, and I’m excited to share everything I’ve learned with you. This isn’t just about following trends—it’s about finding a style that makes you feel confident, beautiful, and authentically yourself.
Classic Side Sweep
The classic side sweep is where it all begins, and honestly, it’s still one of my absolute favorites. There’s a reason this style has graced countless fashion spreads and events—it’s universally flattering and incredibly sophisticated.
What It Is
The classic side sweep is a timeless hairstyle where hair is brushed to one side of the head, creating an elegant asymmetrical look. This versatile style works with various hair lengths and textures, featuring hair that cascades gracefully over one shoulder while the opposite side remains sleek and close to the head. The side sweep can be worn with loose waves, straight hair, or curls, making it adaptable for both casual and formal occasions.
How It’s Best For
This hairstyle is best for elongating the face and creating a flattering frame that highlights your best features. It works exceptionally well for those with round or square face shapes as the asymmetry adds visual length. The side sweep is ideal for formal events, weddings, date nights, or professional settings where you want to look polished yet approachable. It’s particularly flattering for showcasing statement earrings or an elegant neckline, and it works beautifully for those wanting to soften strong facial features or draw attention to one side of the face.
How to Create It
Start with either freshly washed or day-old hair for better grip and texture. Create a deep side part using a fine-toothed comb, positioning it approximately above the outer edge of your eyebrow. Apply a smoothing serum or heat protectant if you’re using styling tools. Brush all your hair to the preferred side, using a paddle brush for smoothness. Secure the style with bobby pins behind your ear on the heavier side, tucking them vertically for a secure hold. For added staying power, spray with a flexible-hold hairspray and use your fingers to gently arrange the swept hair over your shoulder. If you want extra volume, tease the crown slightly before sweeping the hair to the side.
Dramatic Deep Side Part
There’s nothing quite like a dramatic deep side part to create instant glamour. I’ve used this technique countless times when I want to create real impact. The deeper the part, the more dramatic the effect—it’s that simple.
What It Is
The dramatic deep side part is a bold styling choice that involves creating an extreme off-center part, typically positioned far to one side of the head. This creates a striking contrast between the voluminous side with most of the hair and the sleek, minimal side that’s swept close to the scalp. The deep part adds instant sophistication and edge to any look, transforming even the simplest hairstyle into something eye-catching and fashion-forward.
How It’s Best For
This style is best for making a statement and adding drama to your overall appearance. It’s particularly effective for those with oval or heart-shaped faces, as it creates beautiful asymmetry and dimension. The dramatic deep side part works wonderfully for evening events, photoshoots, or anytime you want to channel Old Hollywood glamour. It’s also excellent for adding the illusion of volume to fine or thin hair, as the concentration of hair on one side creates a fuller appearance. This style is perfect for showcasing bold makeup looks or dramatic jewelry.
How to Create It
Begin with clean, dry hair that’s been prepped with a volumizing mousse or root lifter. Using a rattail comb, create a precise part starting from the outer edge of one eyebrow and extending straight back to the crown. For extra drama, position the part even further to the side. Apply a strong-hold gel or pomade to the smaller side of the part, smoothing it down completely against your head using a fine-toothed comb or boar bristle brush. Secure this section with bobby pins if needed, placing them flat against the scalp. On the fuller side, add volume by gently backcombing at the roots or using a round brush while blow-drying. Set the entire style with a firm-hold hairspray, and consider adding a decorative pin or hair accessory on the sleek side for extra flair.
Subtle Side Part
Not every look needs to be dramatic, and that’s the beauty of the subtle side part. This approach is perfect for everyday wear and professional settings where you want to look polished without being too styled.
What It Is
The subtle side part is a refined and understated styling technique where the hair is parted slightly off-center, creating gentle asymmetry without dramatic contrast. This natural-looking part typically sits just an inch or two away from the center, offering a soft, effortless appearance. Unlike the dramatic deep side part, this style maintains balance while adding just enough interest to elevate your look from ordinary to polished.
How It’s Best For
This hairstyle is best for everyday wear and professional settings where you want to look put-together without appearing overly styled. It’s universally flattering for all face shapes and adds subtle dimension that enhances natural features. The subtle side part is ideal for those transitioning from a center part who want to try something new without a drastic change. It works beautifully for business meetings, casual outings, or anytime you want a fresh, clean appearance. This style is also excellent for adding slight volume and movement to hair without requiring extensive styling time.
How to Create It
Start by working with damp or dry hair, depending on your styling routine. Locate your natural part or the point where your hair naturally wants to fall, then shift it one to two inches to either side. Use a comb to create a clean line from your hairline back to the crown area. For a more natural finish, use your fingers instead of a comb to create a softer, less defined part. Apply a lightweight styling cream or texturizing spray to add subtle hold without stiffness. Blow-dry your hair in the direction of the part, using your hands to guide the hair and create gentle volume. For added staying power throughout the day, lightly mist with a flexible-hold hairspray that won’t make the hair look stiff or overdone.
Layered Dimension
Adding layers to long hair with side part bangs creates incredible dimension and movement. This is where artistry really comes into play, and I love helping clients discover how layers can transform their look.
What It Is
Layered dimension refers to a haircut and styling approach that incorporates multiple lengths of hair cut at varying depths to create movement, texture, and visual interest. These strategically placed layers work together to add depth and body to the hair, preventing it from looking flat or one-dimensional. The layers can be subtle or dramatic, ranging from face-framing pieces to choppy, textured ends, and they create a cascading effect that enhances the hair’s natural flow.
How It’s Best For
This style is best for adding life and movement to thick, heavy hair that tends to lie flat, as well as for creating the illusion of fullness in fine or thin hair. Layered dimension works exceptionally well for those wanting to enhance natural texture, whether wavy, curly, or straight. It’s ideal for active lifestyles since the built-in movement makes styling easier and more forgiving. This approach is perfect for anyone looking to remove weight from thick hair while maintaining length, or for those wanting a more youthful, dynamic appearance. Layers are also excellent for softening angular features and adding versatility to your styling options.
How to Create It
To style layered hair for maximum dimension, start with a volumizing mousse applied to damp hair from roots to ends. Blow-dry using a round brush, focusing on lifting the roots and curling the ends of each layer slightly inward or outward for varied direction. For enhanced texture, use a large-barrel curling iron or wand to add loose waves to different sections, alternating the direction you wrap the hair around the barrel. Work through the layers, ensuring each one is styled to showcase its individual length. Apply a texturizing spray or sea salt spray to mid-lengths and ends, scrunching gently to create separation and definition. Finish by running your fingers through your hair to blend the layers naturally, and set with a light-hold hairspray. For extra dimension, use a small amount of highlighting balm or shine serum on the top layers to catch the light.
Curled and Romantic
Curls and side part bangs are a match made in heaven. Whether you have naturally curly hair or create curls with hot tools, this combination is absolutely beautiful.
What It Is
The curled and romantic hairstyle is a feminine, glamorous look featuring soft, bouncy curls that evoke classic elegance and timeless beauty. These curls are typically larger and looser than tight ringlets, creating a voluminous, flowing effect that moves gracefully. The style embodies sophistication and charm, with curls that frame the face beautifully and cascade down the shoulders, reminiscent of vintage Hollywood starlets and fairytale princesses.
How It’s Best For
This hairstyle is best for special occasions such as weddings, proms, galas, or romantic date nights where you want to feel truly glamorous. It’s particularly flattering for those with medium to long hair and works beautifully on all face shapes, as you can customize the curl placement to highlight your best features. The curled and romantic style is ideal for formal events, bridal parties, or photoshoots where a soft, feminine aesthetic is desired. It’s also perfect for adding volume to fine hair or enhancing the natural beauty of thick, lustrous locks. This style pairs wonderfully with elegant dresses, formal gowns, and classic makeup looks.
How to Create It
Begin with freshly washed hair that’s been treated with a heat protectant spray to prevent damage. Apply a volumizing mousse to damp hair and blow-dry completely using a round brush to create initial volume and smoothness. Once dry, section your hair into manageable portions, starting from the bottom layers. Use a large-barrel curling iron or wand heated to the appropriate temperature for your hair type. Wrap one to two-inch sections of hair around the barrel, holding for eight to ten seconds before releasing. Alternate the direction of the curls for a more natural appearance. Once all sections are curled, allow them to cool completely before touching them. Gently run your fingers through the curls to loosen and soften them, creating that romantic, flowing effect. Finish with a light-hold hairspray, misting from about twelve inches away to maintain movement while ensuring the curls last throughout your event.
Sleek and Straight
Sometimes you want that super sleek, straight look that feels modern and chic. Side part bangs with straight long hair creates a sophisticated canvas that’s incredibly versatile.
What It Is
The sleek and straight hairstyle is a polished, sophisticated look characterized by perfectly smooth, glossy hair without any waves, curls, or frizz. This style features hair that lies flat against the head with a mirror-like shine, creating a streamlined silhouette that exudes modern elegance. The sleek and straight look emphasizes the hair’s natural sheen and creates a refined, minimalist aesthetic that works with any hair length from bob to waist-length locks.
How It’s Best For
This hairstyle is best for professional environments, formal events, or contemporary fashion-forward occasions where a clean, sophisticated appearance is desired. It’s particularly effective for showcasing healthy, well-maintained hair and works beautifully for those with naturally straight or slightly wavy hair textures. The sleek and straight style is ideal for accentuating sharp features, dramatic makeup, or statement accessories. It’s perfect for modern minimalists who appreciate clean lines and refined simplicity. This style also works exceptionally well in humid climates when properly set, as it fights frizz and maintains a polished appearance throughout the day.
How to Create It
Start with freshly shampooed and conditioned hair, using smoothing products designed to tame frizz and add shine. Apply a heat protectant serum or spray to damp hair, concentrating on the mid-lengths and ends. Blow-dry your hair using a paddle brush or flat brush, working in sections and directing the nozzle downward to smooth the cuticle. Once completely dry, divide your hair into thin sections no wider than two inches. Using a high-quality flat iron heated to the appropriate temperature for your hair type, slowly glide it down each section from root to tip in one smooth motion. For extra sleekness, run the flat iron over each section twice. Apply a small amount of shine serum or oil to the palms of your hands and lightly smooth over the surface of your hair, avoiding the roots to prevent greasiness. Finish with an anti-humidity or shine spray for long-lasting smoothness and glossy perfection.
Braided Beauty
Incorporating braids with side part bangs and long hair opens up endless creative possibilities. I love teaching clients different braiding techniques because they’re so versatile and beautiful.
What It Is
Braided beauty encompasses a wide range of stunning hairstyles that incorporate various braiding techniques to create intricate, artistic looks. From simple three-strand braids to complex fishtails, Dutch braids, French braids, and elaborate crown braids, this category celebrates the versatility and timeless appeal of woven hair. Braided styles can be worn as a single statement braid, multiple braids, or incorporated as decorative elements within a larger hairstyle, offering endless creative possibilities.
How It’s Best For
This hairstyle is best for active individuals who need their hair secured yet stylish, as braids keep hair neatly in place while looking intentionally fashionable. Braided beauty works wonderfully for music festivals, outdoor events, athletic activities, or casual everyday wear. It’s ideal for those with medium to long hair and works with various textures, though slightly textured or day-old hair often holds braids better than freshly washed hair. This style is perfect for hot weather when you want hair off your neck and face, and it’s excellent for extending time between hair washes. Braids also work beautifully for bohemian, romantic, or rustic-themed events and can be dressed up or down depending on the occasion.
How to Create It
Begin with hair that has some texture or grip—second-day hair or hair with a texturizing spray applied works best. Brush through your hair to remove any tangles, then decide on your braiding style and placement. For a basic three-strand braid, divide your hair into three equal sections and alternate crossing the outer sections over the middle section. For a French braid, start at the crown and add small sections of hair to each strand as you braid downward. For a fishtail braid, divide hair into two sections and cross small pieces from the outer edge of each section to the opposite side. Keep tension consistent throughout the braid for a neat appearance, but avoid pulling too tightly, which can cause discomfort and breakage. Secure the end with a clear elastic or decorative hair tie.
Half-Up Styles
Half-up styles are my go-to when I want the best of both worlds—hair off the face but still showing off that beautiful length. Combined with side part bangs, these styles are incredibly flattering.
What It Is
Half-up styles are versatile hairstyles where the top portion of the hair is pulled up and secured while the bottom half remains down and flowing. This category includes countless variations such as the classic half-up ponytail, half-up bun, twisted half-up style, braided half-up look, and more. The style creates a balanced aesthetic that combines the elegance of an updo with the romantic appeal of loose, flowing hair, offering both functionality and beauty in one look.
How It’s Best For
This hairstyle is best for those wanting to keep hair out of their face while still showing off length and texture. Half-up styles work beautifully for all face shapes and hair types, making them universally flattering and accessible. They’re ideal for casual everyday wear, office environments, brunch dates, or semi-formal events where you want to look pulled together without being overly formal. This style is perfect for transitional occasions when you can’t decide between an updo and wearing your hair down, and it works exceptionally well for showcasing highlights, balayage, or natural hair color dimension. Half-up styles are also excellent for adding height to the crown area, creating a flattering lift that elongates the face.
How to Create It
Start by deciding how much hair you want to pull up—typically anywhere from the top third to the top half of your hair works well. Section off this portion by creating a horizontal part from ear to ear across the back of your head. Gather the top section and secure it with your chosen method: a hair tie for a ponytail, pins for a twisted or braided section, or an elastic wrapped into a bun. For added volume, tease the crown area gently before securing. If creating a half-up ponytail, smooth the gathered section with a brush and secure with an elastic, then wrap a small piece of hair around the elastic to conceal it for a polished finish.
Ponytail Perfection
Ponytails might seem simple, but when done right with side part bangs and long hair, they’re anything but basic. I’ve created countless variations over the years.
What It Is
Ponytail perfection represents the elevated version of this classic hairstyle, transforming a simple gathered style into a polished, sophisticated look. This encompasses various ponytail heights and styles—from high ponytails that exude energy and youthfulness to low ponytails that convey elegance and refinement, and mid-height ponytails that strike a perfect balance. The perfect ponytail is characterized by its smooth, sleek appearance, strategic volume placement, and clean finish without bumps or flyaways.
How It’s Best For
This hairstyle is best for active lifestyles, athletic activities, busy days, and situations where you need your hair completely secured and out of the way. Ponytails work for virtually all occasions—from gym workouts to business meetings to evening events—depending on how they’re styled. A high ponytail is ideal for creating a lifted, youthful appearance and works well for oval and heart-shaped faces. Low ponytails are best for professional settings and elongating round faces. This style is perfect for those with medium to long hair and works particularly well when you want to showcase a graceful neck, beautiful earrings, or an elegant outfit. Ponytails are also excellent for bad hair days or when transitioning between hair washes.
How to Create It
Begin by determining your desired ponytail placement—high on the crown, at the mid-back of the head, or low at the nape. Brush your hair thoroughly to remove all tangles and create smoothness. For a sleek ponytail, apply a smoothing cream or gel to tame flyaways, using a boar bristle brush to gather hair smoothly. For added volume, tease the crown area before gathering, or use a volumizing powder at the roots. Secure the ponytail with a strong elastic that matches your hair color, wrapping it two to three times for hold. To elevate the look, take a small section of hair from the ponytail and wrap it around the elastic to conceal it, securing the end underneath with a bobby pin.
Updos and Elegance
Updos showcase side part bangs beautifully while creating an elegant, sophisticated overall look. These are my favorite styles for formal occasions.
What It Is
Updos and elegance refers to sophisticated hairstyles where all the hair is swept up and secured away from the neck and shoulders, creating a refined, formal appearance. This category includes classic styles such as chignons, French twists, braided buns, ballerina buns, Gibson tucks, and intricate pinned updos. These styles range from sleek and structured to soft and romantic, but all share the common characteristic of elevating the hair to create a polished, occasion-worthy look that exudes grace and sophistication.
How It’s Best For
This hairstyle is best for formal occasions such as weddings, galas, black-tie events, proms, and professional ceremonies where maximum elegance is required. Updos work beautifully for showcasing statement necklaces, dramatic backless dresses, or elegant necklines. They’re ideal for those with medium to long hair and are particularly flattering for elongating the neck and highlighting facial features. This style is perfect for hot weather events when wearing hair down would be uncomfortable, and for situations where you need your hair to stay perfectly in place for extended periods. Updos are also excellent for brides, bridal parties, performers, and anyone wanting to embody timeless sophistication.
How to Create It
Start with hair that has some texture or is a day old, as freshly washed hair can be too slippery to hold pins securely. Apply a texturizing or volumizing product to create grip. Begin by determining your updo style and location—low at the nape, mid-level, or high on the crown. For a classic chignon, gather hair into a low ponytail and secure with an elastic, then twist the tail and wrap it around the base, pinning securely with bobby pins inserted vertically for maximum hold. For a French twist, gather hair to one side, twist it upward against the head, and secure with pins along the twist. For braided updos, create one or more braids and wrap them into buns or along the head, pinning as you go. Throughout the process, use as many bobby pins as necessary—professional updos often use fifteen to thirty pins.
Accessorized Glamour With Bangs
Accessories can transform side part bangs and long hair into something truly special. I love experimenting with different accessories to create unique looks.
What It Is
Accessorized glamour is the art of elevating any hairstyle through the strategic addition of hair accessories such as decorative clips, headbands, jeweled pins, flowers, ribbons, tiaras, scarves, or hair jewelry. This styling approach transforms even the simplest hairstyle into something special and eye-catching. The accessories can serve as subtle accents or bold statement pieces, ranging from delicate pearl pins to elaborate crystal-studded headpieces, allowing for endless personalization and creative expression.
How It’s Best For
This hairstyle approach is best for special occasions, themed events, festivals, or anytime you want to add personality and flair to your look without committing to a complex hairstyle. Accessorized glamour works wonderfully for brides, bridesmaids, party-goers, and anyone wanting to express their individual style. It’s ideal for dressing up simple hairstyles like ponytails, buns, or loose waves, making them appropriate for formal events. This approach is perfect for those who want maximum impact with minimal styling effort, and it’s excellent for bad hair days when accessories can distract from less-than-perfect hair. Accessorized styles work for all hair types, lengths, and textures, making them universally accessible and adaptable to personal taste.
How to Create It
Start with your chosen base hairstyle—whether it’s loose waves, a sleek ponytail, a braid, or an updo. Ensure the foundational style is secure and polished before adding accessories. When selecting accessories, consider your outfit, the occasion, and the overall aesthetic you want to achieve. For headbands, slide them on from front to back, positioning them either at the hairline for a classic look or pushed slightly back for a more casual vibe. For decorative clips and pins, place them strategically where they’ll have the most impact—along a braid, securing a twist, or clustered on one side of the head. When using multiple accessories, maintain balance by distributing them evenly or creating an intentional asymmetrical focal point. For hair jewelry or chains, weave them through braids or drape them across updos, securing with small pins. If using flowers, tuck the stems into buns or braids and secure with bobby pins, ensuring they’re firmly in place.
Textured and Tousled Bangs
Texture is everything in modern hairstyling, and adding deliberate texture to side part bangs and long hair creates dimension and interest that’s incredibly appealing.
What It Is
The textured and tousled hairstyle is an effortlessly chic, undone look characterized by deliberate, piecey texture and artfully mussed waves or movement. This style embraces an intentionally imperfect aesthetic that appears casual and natural while still being thoughtfully styled. The textured and tousled look features separated strands, varied wave patterns, and a lived-in quality that suggests you just stepped off the beach or tumbled out of bed looking impossibly stylish without trying.
How It’s Best For
This hairstyle is best for creating a relaxed, approachable appearance while still looking fashionable and put-together. It works wonderfully for casual social events, creative workplaces, daytime activities, and situations where you want to appear effortless and cool. The textured and tousled style is ideal for those with naturally wavy or slightly curly hair, though it can be created on any texture. It’s perfect for adding dimension to fine hair or controlling thick hair without looking too structured. This style works beautifully for bohemian aesthetics, festival fashion, casual dates, or everyday wear when you want to look stylish without appearing overly groomed. It’s also excellent for disguising roots, extending time between washes, and embracing your hair’s natural texture.
How to Create It
Start with damp or dry hair and apply a texturizing spray, sea salt spray, or mousse throughout, scrunching as you go to encourage natural texture. If starting with damp hair, scrunch while air-drying or use a diffuser attachment on your blow dryer to enhance waves without creating frizz. For added texture, braid your hair while damp and allow it to dry completely before unraveling, or wrap random sections around a curling iron or wand in different directions, leaving the ends out for a more casual finish. The key is irregularity—avoid making all sections uniform. Once your hair has texture, use your fingers to separate and piece out the waves, creating definition and separation. Apply a small amount of texturizing paste or pomade to your fingertips and work through the ends, twisting and scrunching to create piecey definition.
Volume and Fullness
Adding volume to long hair with side part bangs creates presence and drama. I’ve learned countless techniques for building fullness over my career.
Volume Boost
Creating dramatic volume at the crown while keeping the lengths smooth is a technique I use constantly. I backcomb at the crown, smooth the surface, and secure with pins or spray to maintain the height.
The side part enhances this volume, creating a beautiful lift on one side. The swept bangs balance the overall proportions. This look has serious impact and is perfect for formal occasions or when you want to feel powerful and confident.
All-Over Fullness
For maximum volume throughout all the hair, I use a combination of volumizing products, round brush blow-drying, and hot rollers. Every section gets attention, creating fullness from roots to ends.
The side part prevents the style from looking too round or dated, and the swept bangs keep things modern. This is for the woman who loves big, glamorous hair and isn’t afraid to take up space.
Strategic Volume Placement
Sometimes volume in specific places creates the most flattering effect. I might add volume at the crown and on the heavy side of the part while keeping the other side sleeker.
This creates beautiful asymmetry and dimension. The swept bangs integrate into this strategic volume placement, creating a cohesive, intentional look. It’s all about understanding face shapes and knowing where to add fullness for maximum flattery.
Layered Waves
Layers add incredible dimension and movement to long hair. When styled in waves with side part bangs, the effect is absolutely stunning.
Long Layered Beach Waves
Combining long layers with beachy waves creates gorgeous movement and flow throughout the hair. The layers prevent the style from looking heavy or bottom-weighted while adding beautiful dimension.
I create loose, textured waves throughout, and the layers create natural variation in the wave pattern. The side part and swept bangs integrate seamlessly into the layered waves, creating a cohesive look that’s full of life and movement. This is effortlessly beautiful and works for absolutely any occasion.
Face-Framing Layered Waves
Strategic face-framing layers that blend into the bangs create a customized, flattering look. These shorter pieces around the face add softness and dimension while highlighting your best features.
When styled in waves, these layers create beautiful movement that draws attention to your face. The side part allows the layers to fall asymmetrically, creating visual interest. I love how these layers can be customized to flatter different face shapes and features.
Beachy Waves
Beachy waves are the epitome of effortless, carefree beauty. This style always makes me think of sun, sand, and relaxed confidence.
What It Is
Layered waves combine the dimension of a layered haircut with soft, flowing waves throughout the hair, creating a dynamic style with incredible movement and depth. This look features waves that cascade at different lengths due to the layered cut, with each layer adding its own wave pattern and creating a multi-dimensional, voluminous effect. The waves themselves can range from loose and subtle to more defined, but the layering ensures that the waves fall at varying points, preventing the hair from looking flat or one-dimensional.
How It Is Best For
This hairstyle is best for adding maximum movement, dimension, and volume to medium and long hair. Layered waves work exceptionally well for those with thick, heavy hair that needs weight removed while maintaining length, as well as for those with fine hair who want to create the illusion of more abundant locks. This style is ideal for showcasing hair color, particularly highlights, balayage, or ombre effects, as the varied lengths catch light differently and display color dimension beautifully. Layered waves are perfect for versatile styling—they work for both casual daytime looks and can be dressed up for evening events. This style is excellent for those with oval, round, or heart-shaped faces, as the layers and waves create flattering framing around the face and add width where needed.
How to Create It
Begin with clean, towel-dried hair that’s already cut in layers—this is essential for achieving the style. Apply a heat protectant spray and a volumizing mousse throughout, paying special attention to the roots. Blow-dry your hair using a round brush, working through each layer individually and directing the brush away from your head to enhance volume. Once completely dry, section your hair into manageable portions, separating the different layers. Using a large-barrel curling iron or wand, curl each section away from your face, holding for about eight to ten seconds before releasing. Work through all the layers, ensuring you’re curling each one to maximize the dimensional effect—the beauty of this style is that different lengths will create different wave patterns. Allow the curls to cool in their coiled shape before touching them.
Conclusion
After all these years working with hair, creating countless styles, and meeting so many incredible people, I’ve learned that the most beautiful thing about side part bangs with long hair isn’t the technical execution—it’s the confidence it gives you.

Taking care of your hair is taking care of yourself. Use quality products, protect your hair from heat damage, get regular trims, and invest in your hair’s health. Beautiful hair starts with healthy hair, and that requires commitment and care.
Most importantly, be patient with yourself. Learning new styling techniques takes practice. Not every day will be a perfect hair day, and that’s okay. What matters is that you’re showing up for yourself, putting in the effort, and embracing the journey.
