We have literally fallen in love with the following 40 side-swept bangs hairstyles, so impressive and complementing they are. We believe you’ll love them too and find an idea for your next haircut.

Take a look at the photos below with some variations of this popular type of bangs!

1. Eye-Skimming Bangs

@mechesalonla

For a similar super-cute look, try thick bangs that hit your cheekbones. This might be an annoying length for someone, since such a fringe isn’t long enough to be worked into updos and some braided styles, but the look is cute and many girls go for it.

2. Smooth Swoopy Bangs

Side-parted bangs and shoulder length are an unbeatable combination. Part your hair on the side and gently tease the lengths for a polished style that requires minimal effort. Mist with hairspray to keep everything in place.

3. Choppy Bangs

Are you worried that your short haircut will look too boyish? Opt for a similar dramatic style that goes from the eyebrow to the cheekbone and creates a feminine finish. Play up the look with auburn highlights.

4. Chin-Grazing Fringe

Extra long bangs are in. Get them finely chopped or layered to make them feel light and swoopy. Such bangs pair well with medium and long cuts. You can pin them up and back or feed them into a headband braid on the days when you need hair off your face.

5. Long Highlighted Curtain Bangs

Curtain bangs or shorter face-framing layers along your natural middle part can help you visually thicken your fine locks. This straight bob with framing bangs and money-piece highlights looks so stylish and up-to-date.

7. Elongated Thick Side Fringe

Such bangs add a flirty touch to longer styles. Check out how pretty her cheek-skimming bangs are when they’re mixed in with the full, tousled layers. If your mane isn’t as full as hers, apply a thickening mousse to the lengths of your hair to achieve a similar effect.

8. Soft Accented Fringe

Short hair may look truly astonishing if you style it in the right way. Add a body wave to your swoopy bangs to soften facial features. This hairstyle ideally matches blondes with thin hair, but you may also try it on thicker strands.

@vikachekahair

9. Long Flowy Bangs

If you are planning a layered haircut, you may decide to have no bangs. When styled with a side sweep, shorter layers within your haircut work as bangs that perfectly merge with longer strands.

@anna__ujina

12. Lip-Length Razored Bangs

A long fringe like this can add a great accent to your entire look and give extra volume on top. If you’re tired of having your front strands fall on your face, you can simply pin it up to make an excellent no-bang style.

@chrisjones_hair

13. Long Tousled Bangs

One of the easiest ways to switch your look is to change your part. Flipping hair to the opposite side as your natural split creates instant volume. Thinned edges and a tousled bob look will add even more oomph to your hairstyle.

@romeufelipe

14. A-Line Bangs Style

The long bob with feathered ends and edgy bangs swept to the side visually narrows the face, so you can feel free to pick this cut if you want to make your face look a bit longer. Style this mid-length bob with a round brush to bring enhanced volume and avoid irregular bends.

@david.oshell

15. Lengthy Feathery Bangs

There is something especially romantic in a veil of hair that falls over the face. Bangs also make your mane appear thicker, which is actually a great trick for fine strands. Instead of creating weight with a blunt edge, the soft layers here embrace natural wispiness.

@chroma.moscow

16. Cheekbone-Grazing Sleek Bangs

Add movement to your tresses with the elegant swooping bangs to keep things feeling lighter. A cool blowout and dimensional hair color with pastel pink placed strategically on the bangs lifts this haircut for straight hair sky level.

@griproff

17. Gradually Cut Fringe

This banged blunt cut suits any hair type and face shape, but it is best for a thin mane as such a cut adds volume and fullness to fine strands. Brighten up your look with white-blonde hair color and shadow smudge to have all eyes on you.

@singi.vo

18. Voluminous Layered Bangs

You are guaranteed to fall in love with your new style if you ask your hairstylist to cut such elegant bangs and give your shoulder-length hair a cute wavy texture like in this photo. This cut is ideal for any occasion, so you are free to style your tresses this way when going to work, then change your outfit, freshen locks with a volumizing spray, and head for a date.

@yukistylist

19. Frizzy Swoop Bangs

Wavy shoulder-length hair with such beautiful bangs delivers strong romantic vibes, making this ‘do perfect for a date, as well as a vacation. Voluminous curls make an impression of thicker hair, while the massive bangs make your look even more gorgeous.

@hirohair

20. Textured Bangs

To achieve the same interest and definition in your thick locks, add long, choppy bangs to your short layered hair. The long side bangs covering your eye will definitely bring a dose of rock’n’roll or drama to your new image.

@nikcabral

21. Off-Center Butterfly Bangs

@vlasova_elena_guru

@ashleenormanhair

23. Messy Curtain Bangs

Everything about her look screams “stunning” from the fantastic dye job to the flowing curtain bangs and undone waves. To recreate the look, blow dry your bangs with a large round brush or finish things off by curling the ends to the sides with a straightener.

@joeltorresstyle

24. Long Bangs with Textured Ends

Some haircuts only work with particular features and face shapes, but a blonde bob with side bangs flatters everyone. Tapered edges and the color bone dusting length elongate the neck. The slanted front emphasizes your bone structure and softens features.

@lestatty_

25. Swoopy Wispy Bangs

The long bangs resting on the cheekbones totally transform this short hairstyle, perfect for straight hair texture. Add a little extra hair from behind the bang for a heavier, cascading effect, and put some blonde highlights to give a dimension to your ‘do.

@griproff

26. Long Tousled Balayaged Bangs

Just take a look at this fantastic transformation! The long bangs and messy layers, along with the beautiful highlights, turned this fine hair into a masterpiece. Now, this medium-length hair looks truly amazing!

@ashleenormanhair

27. Eye-Covering Wispy Bangs

Long hair with bangs that are swept to the side is a romantic solution for breezy days by the sea. Beach waves, combined with a wispy bang, soften the look and look spontaneous.

@victorval

28. Cheek-Length Jagged Bangs

For those who aren’t too keen on layered hair, you can add some dimension to your ‘do with your bangs. These front layers hit just above the nose so they are very versatile. You can style them into updos or clip them completely off your face.

@modernsalon

29. Rooty Bangs Over One Eye

One day you understand you need to do something with your hair because it’s not enjoyable any longer. Boost your locks with thick side-sweeping bangs and an undone texture.

@jheidenwithhair

30. Rounded Side Bangs

There is something about sleek swoopy bangs and tousled mid-length hair that just works. The mix of textures does not feel disjointed thanks to the way the hairdresser has blended the ends of the bangs with the front layers.

@singi.vo

31. Windswept Layered Fringe

The long cascading bangs blend into the lengths of the hair to form full curls. That’s a perfect haircut if you want to wear your thick long hair free-flowing.

@parrucchieridelcorso

32. Flipped Bangs with Soft Layers

One of the advantages of side bangs is that they can be cut to blend seamlessly into layers. For a flowing, feminine shape, keep the shortest lengths around the jawline instead of the brow. Use a round brush to create flicked ends.

@guy_tang

33. Graduated Two-Color Bangs

A side part and soft bangs are transformative, elongating, emphasizing cheekbones, and minimizing differences between the two sides of the face. Keeping shorter lengths on the exterior adds movement without thinning, a great option for fine hair. The angled front has a slimming effect.

@brittney_hairdrezzer

34. Face-Framing Bangs

This cut is perfect if you like the look of hair split down the middle but find it too severe for your features. Center-parted cheekbone-grazing bangs have an easy going lived-in quality that’s perfect for pairing with long layers.

@whatsbraiding

35. Medium Bangs with Comb Over

A collarbone-length lob with cheekbone-grazing bangs offers the versatility of styling for those with shorter hair. To get a lift in the roots of your bangs, dry them to the opposite side of where you’ll wear them, then flip them back.

@salsalhair

36. Off-Centered Straight Bangs

Layering a bob creates a lean, contemporary shape with piecey ends. The elongated bangs sweeping across one eye add allure. A deep side part is essential for creating dramatic swoop bangs. Tuck the thinner side back for a demure flash of the earlobe.

@buddywporter

37. Tousled Choppy Bangs

It’s important to pick a bang style that flatters your face, but it’s also crucial to select one that matches the rest of your cut. The layered bangs pictured here perfectly complement the choppy cut. The disheveled texture adds a playful finish.

@wesdoeshair

38. Eyebrow-Framing Bangs

Side bangs can make dark hair appear heavier, so it’s best to lighten up — literally! Ombre draws the eye down and makes your strands appear more weightless. While it is subtle, it makes all of the difference.

@carlycutsmyhair

39. Side Pin-Up Bangs

Take a cue for your next hairstyle from your favorite adult beverage — red wine! The exquisite notes in the drink also make for an alluring color solution within the long, layered locks. To double the trouble, paint your lips in a similar hue.

@danielledreamland

40. Multicolored Angled Fringe

Modern side bangs are usually long, but you can also go for a cropped diagonal bang that accentuates your eyes. Throw in some blue and purple highlights in the color of your eyes to flatter them even more.

@xostylistxo

When you get bored with your hairstyle, you can easily refresh your look with bangs that are swept to one or both sides. They are easy to style and maintain. Bangs frame our faces, that’s why we are so picky about them. Some of these will definitely flatter you and spice up your stylish hairstyles.
