Black Hairstyles Side Swept Bangs

Black hairstyles side swept bangs are a type of hair style that many women experiment as they try to find the right look for them.  It is something that is fun and different, since bangs have been important to hair styles for a very long time.  In fact, styling your bangs in a different way every day can be a simple and practical way to change up your look without having to do a lot of extra work.

Working with the bangs is particular versatile because it doesn’t matter what type of hair you have:  you can probably find a way to incorporate bang styles without having to change everything.  This saves you time and energy, and if you are paying a stylist, it will save you money too.  It doesn’t matter if your hair is curly or straight or if you have put in a weave.  If you select to work with the bangs, it will probably be quite easy on you.

To get an idea of what this might look like, you can probably find pictures in any number of magazines.  If you need help learning how to do it, you can go online and find tutorials.  You do not necessarily need to learn how to do this from a master, as long as the person who teaches you shows you how to do efficiently and effectively.  You need to make sure, however, that you can perform the same methods and techniques on your own hair.  Keep in mind that all hair is different, and African hair, in particular, is very dry and coarse, so it behaves very different from other hair.

Side swept bangs are particularly beneficial because they give an illusion of fuller hair, or hair with more body and bounce.  Straight bangs that hang down to the eyebrows imply straight, thin hair, which has its place.   However, if you want something with a little extra to it, then you might want to think about trying this next time.

If you have black hair, the bangs can be difficult to deal with.  You have to flatten and straighten them with a flat iron, typically, if you want to style them.  This can be time consuming.  The side swept technique, however, is an easy and quick alternative that avoids the hassle.  All you have to do is cut your bangs to the appropriate length and find an accommodating hairstyle.

  • Hi! I am 17 years old and have a perm to straighten my hair. Until i got my perm, i had very thick and long hair. I fell victim to a bad stylist and she chopped all my hair off. Since then it had been an uphill battle to get my hair to remain healthy. It hasn’t been lengthy, naturally, in a long time :(. tomorrow my mother is taking me to have a sew in weave down and i was planning on incorporating side swept bangs along with the hair weave. I just so scared that the results wil be too drastic and unbelieveable..any advice?
