Side Swept Bangs With Layers Haircuts For Long Hair

Hi, everyone Today's hair tutorial Side Swept Bangs With Layers Haircuts was inspired by the latest James Bond movie, Skyfall. And the half-up updo that I'm going to show you how to do today.. was worn by the Bond Girl, Berenice Marlohe. In addition to that, I'm also going to show you how to curl your hair because it was highly requested. First section is everything below the ears. And you're going to curl everything - all the hair on your whole head - AWAY from your face.

I'm using a 1 inch curling iron here instead of a 1/2 inch like you should because my hair isn't long enough and I'm not willing to sacrifice length to get accuracy. So if you're fortunate enough to have long hair down to your waist you should be using a 1/2 inch - tapered - curling iron. I don't know if you guys have noticed, but I like to twist the hair as I'm wrapping it around the curling iron. Because this technique creates a textured, more of a clumped-up curl look, than a soft wave.

And the next section is the eyebrow level. and here I'm going to switch out my 1 inch curling iron barrel for a 1/2 inch curling iron barrel. And as usual, I'm going to curl my hair from mid-shaft to the ends. Because your ends do not require as much heat as your mid-shaft would. So you should be curling it this way as well. I apply all my products on wet hair so you really do not see me apply it, but the important thing here is not what kind of products you use, it's the technique.

Yes, you should use products like heat protectants, oils...everything that is good for you. But the important thing is how much heat you're NOT applying to the ends that do not require as much heat, that is important and not the products itself. With that said, what I use in the tutorial will be listed in the description box, so if guys are interested you can take a look. And then create 2 small pin-curls the last 2 sections to create more volume in the hair and to make the curls a bit tighter.

After curling the whole head, you want to start twisting the sides to the back of your head,  Side Swept Bangs With Layers Haircuts For Long Hair fluffing it somewhat to make it more voluminous before pinning it down. And then split the bottom part in half fold it over and pin it up against your nape. And with the ends that's hanging out, just create a very loose donut and pin it over the previous bobby pin so that the bobby pin do not show.
