Side swept bangs can be a great addition to any look. You can style them near countless different ways, making them a great choice for any occasion, and you’ll be pleased to know that depending on how they’re cut they suit almost any face shape! You can have them cut and styled so they look delicate or heavy, long or short, you can have them dramatically sweeping across your face or even simply go for the subtle look. I know some girls who love to hide mysteriously behind their side swept bangs while others love wearing their bangs short while still going for the side swept look. It really all comes down to personal taste and what will suit you best on a day to day basis. Not all styles are formal enough to pass off in the workplace while others only suit the workplace. Seeing as not all styles suit every occasion you ought to keep this in mind when choosing a style – it’s likely that you may even want to pick a few styles or one very versatile style to best fit your needs. That said, here are fifty great side swept bang hairstyles, enjoy!

1. Rihanna Side Swept Bangs: Styled High

0cfdc17e3eaf4e4935ccb6810263108e

Here Rihanna is wearing a gorgeous long pixie cut but instead of letting her side swept bangs drape over he face she’s styled them so they sit up high before sweeping back behind her ears. This is a fab look as it shows off all of hr face instead of hiding it. This look works best for those of you with slim face shapes such as oval or hearts. Another great thing about this look is that it’s very versatile and you can wear your hair like this whether you’re heading out on the town or simply going to work for the day. The only downside is that you have to set your alarm clock five minutes earlier every day as this style isn’t the easiest one to master in a hurry.

2. Sophia Bush Side Swept Bangs: Long with a Zig Zag Parting

0fefd10e367fb07d4043886a7768a4a8

I used to thing that you could only have side swept bangs if you had a side parting, something that really annoyed me as that’s a look that simply doesn’t work for a lot of people. Thankfully however, that myth is far from true and you can easily compromise be wearing a zig sag parting to give you the best of both worlds as Sophia Bush has done. She’s wearing her bangs long so they sweep across her eye, a look that is great for partying however if you’re heading off to work you may need to clip your bangs back out of your face.

3. Hilarie Burton Side Swept Bangs: Curl Crazy

1a4cc8750b2c4766d686fb75546231e8

There’s no hard fast rule that says bangs have to be straight and sleek. In fact they can be anything but and yet still look amazing as Hilarie Burton proved year after year when she starred in One Tree Hill. She rocked the classic perm look and even had her bangs permed, making for a fantastic stand out style. This is a great look for absolutely any face shape and any occasion so why not take the plunge and ask your stylist for a perm?

4. Cameron Diaz Side Swept Bangs: Long and Flicked

3ff0bb9399eeff68f62bff3d06faf7ae

Here Cameron Diaz is wearing her side swept bangs long so that they reshape the look of her face. To save her look from becoming dull however she’s subtly added a flick to the ends of her bangs using curlers, something which is in complete contrast to her tucked under bob, which really adds an edge to her look. Again, this is a great style for work of play however flicked long bangs don’t work for every face shape, they look best on round or square faces.

5. Sophia Bush Side Swept Bangs: Gentle Curls

4d0d474204bb881187055c3636f780c6

Sophia Bush is once again rocking her side swept bangs and this time is still wearing them long but has gently curled them to add a bit of texture to her look. This takes her look from plain to exciting with just a sweep of her curlers. This is definitely more of a ‘play’ look and sadly likely won’t pass for long days at the office. If you’ve got a heart shaped face then this hairstyle is for you!

6. Cameron Diaz Side Swept Bangs: Long and Highlighted

Having side swept bangs so long is a great option as it means you can style them loads of different ways and even tie them back when you need to. Her highlights look fab too and really add a new dimension to this classic look. Sadly this isn’t a great look for round or square faces but for all the rest of you then jump right in!

I’m sure we can all appreciate how fab Rihanna’s side swept bangs look her – in fact her whole style for that matter! She has her bangs pulled over her eyes to make her look mysterious however the look isn’t too overpowering as she’s curled her bangs along with the rest of her hair, giving it a lighter feel. Her bold red colour really makes her stand out and goes fab with her curls. This isn’t what you’d call an office look but if you’re heading out with friends then grab the curlers!

8. Mary-Kate Olsen Side Swept Bangs: Choppy

7d9ccf5ca10d9a6d0692afd87f953b2b

Choppy bangs are a great way to give your look a bit of texture and eve a bit more volume if it’s done right. By simply adding a few layers you instantly change your look. To make the most of this style don’t smooth your bangs over to make them look sleek, ruffle them up a bit and hold them in place with a touch of hairspray to make them stand out. This is a great look for any face shape and you can even alter your look by growing your choppy bangs long or having them short.

9. Valorie Curry Side Swept Bangs: Short and Cute

These cute bangs look best with a pixie cut however if you feel like experimenting you can try them with longer hair too.

8f27258ea81abafbf6dd5977d1dee23e

I loved having side swept bangs but couldn’t help but be annoyed when they fell in my face. This doesn’t seem to be a problem for Natalie Dormer however who’s subtly sept her bangs off of her face and pinned them behind her ears, making for an elegant look. This is a great style for any face shape and is perfect for work, play, or even the red carpet! Ir your bangs aren’t as long as Natalie’s you can still experiment with this style and pin your bangs to the side higher up too.

11. Rachel McAdams Side Swept Bangs: Loose Waves

9f7b85b7ed7cd95d0d16a99cdb443be5

Loose waves are a great way to add a bit of texture and volume to your style without overdoing it. Unlike curls, waves suit any face shape and they make for great bangs, especially if they’re as light as Rachel McAdams’. When you’re styling your bangs make sure not to make them too thick or else this will ruin your look. Less is more as they say! Don’t worry if all your waves aren’t the same either, having them all odd in size will add to your look and make you look carefree. This is a perfect look for daytime or nighttime.

12. Dianna Agron Side Swept Bangs: Extremely Subtle Sweep

021bbad36591a082024a7241be4999f7

Side swept bangs don’t have to be dramatic to look great either. Take Dianna Agron’s look here for example. Her bangs sweep only a tiny bit yet they still look fab. This also makes for a great look as it can be altered to be a full fringe too. If you’re heading to work then this may just be the perfect look but it’s also cute enough to look great on a night out too.

13. Dianna Agron Side Swept Bangs: Flicked

26f9cc711a2c38faf090a716418aa0b5

This style of bangs looks great with choppy hair and highlights as it has so much texture in it. Don’t worry if it keeps falling in front of your eyes – it’s all part of the look.  This is a perfect look for any face shape and can be styled in numerous ways to suit a variety of occasions (though the office may not be one of them!).

14. Kristen Bell Side Swept Bangs: Short Blunt Bangs

40b138b7da69d5c5829bf5cff4d15d1e

Kristen’s blunt cut really does make for a refreshing change. It really draws attention to her bangs to highlights her pretty face. My best tip for this look is to keep your bangs straight or else the blunt cut won’t show up as well and the look will be lost. A few highlights are also a great way to draw attention to this unique style. This is a great loo for everyone so don’t be afraid to get styling.

15. Candice Accola Side Swept Bangs: Long and Light Bangs

50c5c339ec037cce8368c213d1bb7508

As her bangs sweep across her eyes they add an air of mystery however her look is still very inviting as her bangs are nice and light so you can see through them. This look is perfect for if you’re going to a party however more formal occasions may be out. This is also one of the few all round styles that can be pulled off by any face shape.

The only occasion this look may not work for is a more formal affair however there are variations of this look which you could experiment with in this case.

This is the perfect look for any formal occasion as it’s screams elegance and style. Hilarie has subtly curled her bangs into one curl, twisting the hair away from her face so her eyes are left clear. You can try this trick even if the rest of your hair is straight as it makes for a lovely contrast however as you can see from Hilarie it looks great if all your hair is curled. This look is best on heart shaped faces however don’t be afraid to try it out even if you have a different face shape too.

This look also really suits the addition of hair accessories so don’t be afraid to experiment with your look and see what you like.

21. Taylor Swift Side Swept Bangs: Almost Full Fringe With A Subtle Sweep

906f42e4835deb2f829620d31f145d50

If you’ve got a full fringe and would like to experiment with side swept bangs then this is a great option to get you started. Simply start off with a full fringe and gently guide your hair over to one side then keep it in place with a touch of hairspray. This is a great option if you have thick hair or simply a heavy fringe and is a perfect look for any occasion. Sadly, this look doesn’t work for people with round or square faces as it makes their faces look shorter and wider but all the rest of you will look fabulous.

22.Dianna Agron Side Swept Bangs: Long and Thick

5064ec2153c8e3398506d25586b0f2d0

Dianna’s look here is great, especially as her bangs only just skim her eyes. Her thick hair makes for heavy bangs but luckily the length of them means they don’t fall in her eyes too often and they skim nicely around the side of her face. This loo works well if the bangs are slightly feathered at the bottom and is really set off my the addition of highlights.  This look works really well for round and square faces as it frames the face without risking making it look too wide.

23. Katy Perry Side Swept Bangs: Long

8372a2bdb4fb08324da0d034b1d54f8f

Katy Perry’s side swept bangs look great as they make a statement without altering her style. She’s wearing them tucked in amongst her other hair so they still frame her face and give her a side swept bang look. This is a perfect look for any occasion. The only face shape it wouldn’t work on is people with a small forehead (like me!) as the hair won’t fall right around your face and will fall over your eyes instead.

24.Kiera Knightley Side Swept Bangs: Worn Tied Back

21029fb7f7d305759644b00fe5c92383

Wearing your bangs long is great because it means for formal occasions you have the option of sweeping them back like Kiera Knightley has. This look is best done if you keep your centre parting and leave your bangs a tiny bit loose. This is a perfect style for heart shapes faces but it also looks amazing on round a square faces too.

25.Victoria Beckham Side Swept Bangs: Long, Light and Choppy

56318a51de99dc09882273bb846881d0

It also suits longer bobs and a line styles, especially if you have a delicate face shape like our former Spice Girl has.

96986e8cca36385d824a8f8ab0422917

Long waves for side swept bangs is always a winning look as Emma Stone proves but she’s also made it look even better by pinning the other side of her hair back behind her ear so her bangs become the main focus of her look. The waves add volume if you have thin hair and take your look from plain to chic in an instant. You can use curlers to create this look but personallyI think that braiding your hair a few hours before hand will create the best wavy look possible.

28. Anne Hathaway Side Swept Bangs: Pixie Bangs

804493d7e900d352a291ca4c044bc3c1

Here Anne Hathaway shows off her fabulous side swept bangs with her pixie haircut. Her bangs are very short but as she’s wearing them rather choppy it doesn’t matter.

Heart and oval shapes suit this style best of all but some square faces will also look fab!

30. Dianna Agron Side Swept Bangs: Choppy Bangs

a0e3c4b62110194c54c35dc64a753897

Of course not all looks need to be neat and nice as Dianna Agron proves here. She’s gone for a very choppy and rough look which makes her look like a bit of a rock chick. This look is a easy to create and all you need is a bit of styling product and some hairspray to get going. Sadly this look doesn’t suit more formal occasions so you may need to save this look for nights out. It also doesn’t suit all personalities either and you need to have a fair bit of confidence to pull it off. Still, if you’re looking for a wild look then this style of bangs is perfect!

31.Katy Perry Side Swept Bangs: Casual

a1dd02bfbfdd71d48da3a3375a23fabf

Katy Perry’s bangs make for a great casual look. They’re the perfect length to sweep around her eyes and frame her face and aren’t too heavy or too light. This is a great look as it enables you to wear your hair up or down without spoiling your bangs too meaning it’s perfect for wearing at the office or even on a night out. This is perhaps my favourite all round look. Its great for heart and oval shaped faces, though you’ll also be able to pull it off almost as well if you have any other face shape too. I simply adore this look and think that everyone should try it at least once!

32. Jennifer Aniston Side Swept Bangs: Extra Long

a2e283609861a3a93cea6ddc8129b855

Here Jen’s bangs may be extra long but don’t let that fool you, they’re still perfectly side swept. As her bangs are so long they’re extremely versatile and she can style them most any way she wants, giving her a tonne of freedom. If you’re looking for a look that won’t restrict your styling options then this is a great choice. It also works for any face shapes and is a great style for helping slim down the look of your face. You can also try this style of hair lengths from medium to extra long so don’t think you have to have hair the same length as Jen’s to try this out.

33. Kat Graham Side Swept Bangs: Subtle Sweep

a134c4916d31022ea5ed3cd8611ce438

Adding just a subtle sweep to your bangs can completely change your look. This is a great style in between having a full fringe and having side swept bangs meaning it’s incredibly versatile and you can style this look a few different ways. It’s great for any face shape apart from round and you can wear this look to any occasion. Plus you can alter it by wearing your hair up or down too so be prepared to get experimental.

34. Bethany Joy Lenz Side Swept Bangs: Pinned Back

a332702249966bd78fc0d16bbb9b11bc

I don’t know about you but every now and again my bangs start to annoy me. I love them but when they fall in my face I can’t help but get a little irritated. If this is a problem you know well then this is a great style to combat it. By simply pinning your bangs back you completely change your look and suddenly your pretty face becomes the focus of your look. Why not experiment with this look and add a braid or a hair accessory to really make the most of the pinned back look?

35.Kate Voegel Side Swept Bangs: Light and Delicate

b117809e4653aa9e46cf182bc51915b2

Kate Voegel’s bangs look thick but it’s only the colour of her hair that creates this illusion. They’re actually blissfully light and delicate which makes this a much more manageable look. Note how her bangs only just skim her eyes  and the way they curve around the face to highlight her features. Her style is very easy to create and incredibly easy to maintain so you don’t have to have loads of time on your hands to look as good as Kate does here.

36. Miley Cyrus Side Swept Bangs: Wind Blown

b256675ffb50cb0b6b7e2a6c73b06bc5

If you’ve been reading my other posts then you’ll likely know that I love any style which has been slightly wind blown. I think it looks great as it adds a little edginess to your look and stops you from looking like a Plain Jane.  Don’t worry, you don’t even have to step outside to create this look either. All you need is a bit of styling product, some creativity, and a can of hairspray and you’re golden. By backcombing your hair a bit you can also make this look even cooler too, especially when it comes to your bangs. Windswept bangs are incredibly easy to create and they look fabulous!

37. Hilary Duff Side Swept Bangs: Neat Bangs

c56bde499020c9134cf79b5255c3711f

This style is great as you can wear it with your hair up down, windswept, curled, anything! It also looks great on all face shapes too making this a truly versatile look. Hilary’s bangs are the perfect length as they sweep across her brows and don’t hide her pretty eyes from view. They highlight her face wonderfully.

38. Kristen Bell Side Swept Bangs: Pixie Bangs

Side swept bangs_40

Here’s another great look from Kristen Bell and this time she’s showing off her fabulous pixie bangs.

This is a great look for round faces and is perfect for most any occasion.

39. Jennifer Lawrence Side Swept Bangs: Light Waves

ce8ec8ead4926a9fdd914b2cb13d7113

I love this look on the one and only J.Law. It’s cool, it’s chic, it’s edgy and it’s certainly unique. Wavy bangs like this aren’t the easiest style to create I’ll admit but once you get them right they look fantastic. Always remember to finish this style off with hairspray or your bangs will no doubt be falling back across your face in hours if you don’t. This look is perfect for oval faces and looks great for hitting the social scene.

40. Carey Mulligan Side Swept Bangs: Slicked Back

d0cd2dc0d4d323df4f5d09a12c71da91

This is one of my favourite variations of side swept bangs and is the perfect look for any formal occasion! This works best for pixie cuts but with enough hairspray you can make this look work for long hair too. This is a great way to instantly transform your look and get your bangs out of your face for the evening while still looking utterly fabulous. This is definitely a win for Carey Mulligan.

41. Rachel McAdams Side Swept Bangs: Pretty in Pink

d1ccc4de43b6674c59c5da01dacaf9ac

While colouring your bangs isn’t exactly a style I think it’s definitely an option worth considering as it instantly transforms your look and makes you stand out in a crowd. You can go bold like Rachel McAdams or you can go for a more natural colour but either way even just a tiny change will refresh your look and have you feeling and looking your absolute best.

I’ve been told by hairdresser friends that this is the most common picture of side swept bangs that they are presented with in salons. It’s the style that loads of girls want. The reason? Firstly is looks amazing! It’s chic, edgy, versatile, and suits all face shapes. Secondly, it’s very easy to maintain once you’ve got it due to it’s subtle nature. This is an awesome look for social events and you can keep it looking great throughout the day with very minimal amounts of effort.

44.Rachel McAdams Side Swept Bangs: Gentle Wave

dcd6a6c5adee27e972246cba4aab76c9

Rachel’s look here doesn’t have what I’d call wavy bangs however there is a slight wave to her bangs which is where the title came from. This wave gives her hair volume which still keeping her look incredibly simple. More like than not this wave is natural meaning this style is very easy to replicate, even if you have just rolled out of bed. This look is fab for any occasion and this style of bangs will flatter square faces most of all (though I encourage you to try it still if you have a different face shape!).

45.Taylor Swift Side Swept Bangs: Overlapping Bangs

Taylor Swift has two layers to her bangs here, one of which overlaps the other creating volume in her look.

46. Gwyneth Paltrow Side Swept Bangs: Sleek and Highlighted

1e33b55b8074d963ce39672e5cd31713

Simple sleek bangs are a great option, especially if you’re likely to be spending a lot of time in a work or formal environment. They’re very easy to manage, especially at this length which will really flatter any face shape, and they’re also nice enough to wear socially too. You can style them by adding a curl or some waves for other occasions too. As Gwyneth shows, this type of bang is perfect for wearing with your hair up, especially if it’s nice and straight.

47. Emma Stone Side Swept Bangs:Long and Rugged

5b73a7f6ecd26df4d88bb71a4a21a0d7

Your bangs don’t need to look perfect all the time – in fact sometimes it’s better if they don’t. I love Emma’s long side swept bangs, especially as they’re a little bit rugged which adds an edge to her chic style. This look is perfect for formal occasions and by simply letting the rest of your hair fall loose you’re instantly transformed and ready for social occasions too. This is a really easy to create style too which gives it some serious bonus points.

48. Reese Witherspoon Side Swept Bangs: Highlights

8cce97b5c119079eb8e04ad2744d2557

Just simply adding a few highlights to your bangs will instantly transform your whole look. It’s a great way of brightening your face and making your bangs go from boring to alive. You can also get lowlight too but in my experience highlights gives the better effect when done on bangs. Try not to stray too far from your natural colour as this may spoil your look, instead keep it subtle for the best results.

49. Kaley Cuoco Side Swept Bangs: Long

887882a1c953536572b398459f31e57a

If you’ve got long bangs you’ll likely constantly find yourself running your fingers through them and sweeping your face, something many people find annoying but something which leads to this ace style as Kaley shows us.  When pushed back long bangs fall perfectly around your face and look great if you have an oval shaped face.

50. Emma Stone Side Swept Bangs: Sleek Bangs

f474753e1b3c372cef2ffb1ae4a3016e

Any finally we come to our last style sported by Emma Stone. Her long sleek bangs are great and are a truly versatile style. They’re neat enough to wear to work and still chic enough to wear for a celebration too. Wearing your bangs long like this gives you lots of styling options too so you’re not restricted to the same style day after day.

I hope you’ve enjoyed this article and that I’ve helped to give you lots of inspiration. I’d love to know which styles were your favourites and if there are any you’re planning on trying out so don’t hesitate to get in touch. Are there any styles you didn’t like or any you can’t wait to try out? Personally I loved all of them – in my book any bangs go so long as they suit your face shape and the occasion. Like I said at the start, not all bangs suit every occasion so bear this in mind when choosing a style and perhaps go for a very versatile one or a style you can easily change. Happy styling and don’t forget to comment with all your thoughts!

50 Best Pixie Haircut http://www.herinterest.com/50-best-pixie-haircut/ http://www.herinterest.com/50-best-pixie-haircut/#comments Fri, 02 May 2014 11:58:33 +0000 http://www.herinterest.com/?p=13466

Are you thinking of getting the chop and going for a pixie haircut? They’re one of the most fashionable hairstyles at the moment and rightly so, they look fab! I’ll admit, you have to be fairly brave to get one though. I mean, you’ve spent countless years growing out your hair and now you’re just going  to chop it all off? I love pixie haircuts but I’ll admit I’m not quite brave enough to get one, though I’m seriously considering it. Considering the fact I can nearly sit on my hair it’s a pretty big commitment to make so I’m sure you can understand why I’m dithering…

Anyway, for those of you who are somewhat braver than me, I’ve rounded up the fifty hottest pixie styles for you to gather some inspiration from. Enjoy!

1. Ashlee Simpson Pixie Haircut: Long and Sideswept

Ashlee Simpson

I loved Ashlee Simpson’s long golden locks as I’m sure most of you did but I’m sure you can still appreciate her beautiful, sweeping pixie cut. She’s opted for a long pixie cut, something which works well with her long face, and the sweeping bangs mean it’s a bit more ‘stylable’ (yes, I’m inventing words now!). The length means she has much more freedom and isn’t stuck with the same short but until it grows out.

2. Emeli Sande Pixie Haircut: Shaved and Styled

Emeli Sande

I love Emeli Sande’s variation of the pixie haircut. In true Emeli style, she’s shaved the sides of her hair leaving only the top of it in tact. I’ve seen her wearing what’s left of her her in numerous different ways but this style is by far my favourite. The mountain of curls adds life to her hair and really makes her stand out in a crowd.

3. Miley Cyrus Pixie Haircut: Blonde and Beautiful

0efc6bccd24e7944a85299a398ba33bd

I’ll admit it, I preferred Miley’s hair before. It was simply gorgeous and her flowing, brown hair made me utterly envious. That said, this new style really suits her and given her personality shift it suits her all the more. Here she’s gone with an almost ‘short back and sides’ look and diet her hair a lovely blonde. I’d also like to point out all those gorgeous earrings she’s wearing, something that definitely goes in favour of pixie cuts. You can never see my earrings because of all my hair yet here Miley’s are on show for all the world to see.

4. Kiera Knightley Pixie Haircut: Side Swept and Highlighted

1a8af393f76a2d97d1007417a3a364d7

I absolutely adore this look on Kiera Knightley. She’s so petite of face that she definitely suits short hair and here she’s proving the shorter the better. She’s kept her pixie cut reasonably long however yet the way it’s swept to the side makes it seem shorter. I love the textured look she’s given it, stopping it from looking limp. Her mix of highlights and lowlights looks amazing too, it brings a warmth to her face and makes her hair look completely natural.

5. Hayden Panettiere Pixie Haircut: Swept Back

01d19dc1bc4e598f621ec7c9dcd97684

Hayden is another celebrity who I was devastated to see have their haircut. She had gorgeous long locks that again I was completely envious of. That said, her new hair really suits her! She looks fantastic here with her hair styled back off her face, revealing her beauty. The great thing about the length of her pixie cut is that it’s long enough for her to wear it in various styles and therefore not look the same day after day.

6. Carey Mulligan Pixie Haircut: Luscious Waves

2 Carey Mulligan

Since getting her pixie haircut, Carey Mulligan really seems to have come into her own. She did it way before it became stylish to do so and really owned the style. It’s now become her signature look. Here she’s wearing her pixie cut reasonably long which has allowed her to add light waves to the style. The gentle waves add texture and life to her hair, ensuring it doesn’t look limp, and her hair has also been side swept to add a bit of extra volume.

7. Vanessa Hudgens Pixie Haircut: Long and Sweeping

2 Vanessa Hudgens

This style looks incredible on the former High School Musical star Vanessa Hudgens. I love how she’s got her hair sweeping in two different directions, once across her face and the second time backward. It really makes for a unique look. Vanessa has also stayed true to her roots and kept her hair her natural colour, something I’d like to commend her for as we really don’t see it enough these days.

8. Rihanna Pixie Haircut: Sweeping Bangs

002bb16d118bd74e21f76ff976eec429

Here Rihanna sports a look similar to Emile Sande’s with short sides and a sweeping mount of hair atop her head. I love the way her bangs sweep across her face, directing attention to her eyes. I’d also like to commend her as I did with Vanessa for her natural colour. As you can see it really brings out her skin tone and makes her eyes pop. Going natural is definitely something you should consider if you’re thinking of getting a pixie cut.

9. Evan Rachel Wood Pixie Haircut: Curls

2Evan Rachel Wood

This is by far one of my favourite pixie haircuts and I’m sure you’ll love it too! Curls, who’d have thought it? Her hair has been left long enough to allow her to curl it, making way for this fantastic look. One of the best things about curls is the way they bring out your highlights too. It really helps to add a textured look to your hair. This style simply wows me!

10. Carey Mulligan Pixie Haircut: Plaited

03 Carey Mulligan

Just because you have a pixie haircut doesn’t mean you have to give up doing girly things to your hair such as adding plaits. Carey looks beautiful here having added just a few simple plaits into her otherwise natural hair. This look is unbelievably simple to create yet the effects are undeniably fantastic. I told you Carey had made the pixie cut her own, didn’t I?

11. Miley Cyrus Pixie Haircut: Side Swept and Shaven

3d1e3222353ba418d8fa164807bed77c

This is one of Miley’s best looks if you ask me. Her hair has been swept over to one side, creating volume and texture, while the other side of her head has literally been left bare having been shaved. This style is chic, edgy, and really makes her look like a rockstar. Again, I’d like to point out her earrings which are fully on display, a fab pro to the pixie styles.

12. Rihanna Pixie Haircut: Windswept

04ec385a68e6fc3b24d3f63e6a8f48bc

Similar to Miley’s previous picture, Rihanna has her hair side swept and has had the side of her head which has been left bare shaved. Not so similar to Miley however, the part of her hair which has been swept across hasn’t been combed neatly, it instead looks incredibly windswept. This look is probably not something you could wear around the office but there’s no denying it’s perfect for hitting the town with.

13. Anne Hathaway Pixie Haircut: Neatly Does It

7d7357b87ed9e1693f1f11bde6f05e96

After cutting (or rather shaving) her hair for her role in Les Miserables, Anne Hathaway chose to keep her new look and rock the pixie cut. She’s done it incredibly well if you ask me. Here she looks lovely with her neat hairstyle, marking her as a true beauty and a professional. I do hope to see her with her long locks again at some point but for now I love her pixie cut.

14. Frankie Sandford Pixie Haircut: Side Swept and Flicking

7ddaf174020fe343b4b011db07d6ddf8

Frankie Sanford has been rocking the pixie cut for way longer than most celebrities out there. This look is one of my favourites on her. She’s kept her cut slightly longer than most which has enabled her to style it to one side and finish it with a gorgeous flick which really highlights her eyes. It’s such a simple addition but it really changes her look.

15. Natalie Portman Pixie Haircut: Accessorise

8a3eca8a49bf2e8a09d32dd47b5d8d63

When Natalie Portman shaved her hair for her role in V for Vendetta I was devastated. I mean, completely and utterly in pieces. But once again I got over it as yet another celebrity showed how awesome pixie cuts truly are. Personally, I don’t think enough pixie cuts are accessorised. I mean, just because your hair is short doesn’t mean you have to stop wearing hats, hairbands, and all the rest, right? Here, Natalie shows just how great and how simple accessorising your new style can be.

16. Rihanna Pixie Haircut: Bold and Beautiful

8b9c81470ba2d985437a217afdd6b540

Bold is beautiful, something which Rihanna really proved here. She’s swapped the natural colour of her pixie cut for startling, fiery red which really sets her look alight. It’s bold, it’s unmissable, and it looks great. Well done, RiRi!

17. Anne Hathaway Pixie Haircut: Blonde Bombshell

9f0056476e6c24572bab688970d42a1f

Anne Hathaway? Blonde? I never thought I’d see the day yet I’m so glad I did! Anne looks absolutely stunning in her new shade, especially since she’s roughed her hair up a little too and stepped away from her usual prim and proper look. I can’t get over how incredible she looks here. Perhaps we all ought to be a little more bold and swap our natural colour for something a little more alive. You never know what it could do for your look.

18. Emma Watson Pixie Haircut: Combed

47f26d6c767a851cb1295d43e779abb4

Okay, so I admit it. I’m still crying over Emma Watson’s long, lost locks. I love her new look but if I had a magic wish I’d wish her old hair back in a heartbeat. Still, let’s focus on why she looks fantastic here! She’s smoothed her hair down and combed it out, pulling it to the sides to create a parting which you don’t see too often in pixie cuts.

19. Jennifer Lawrence Pixie Cut: Blonde and Sleek

184dd520f04d81c2dc4598490559f069

Here J.Law has opted for a slightly lighter tone of colour than he usual, something which is great to see. It’s just a simple change but it has had a big effect on her look. She’s also smoothed her hair down nicely, making of a great professional look or, in this case, a perfect red carpet style.

20. Jennifer Lawrence Pixie Haircut: Swept Back

412d6a3e70fb2c3c5fead461e905f2e9

This look is incredibly on J.Law and again she’s wearing it on the red carpet. Her hair looks fantastic swept off her ace as it reveals her eyes, bringing out her true beauty. She’s also managed to capture a great deal of texture in her hair which gives her look a little something extra if you ask me.

21. Anne Hathaway Pixie Haircut: Natural and Neat

462f76a2340d6f28c8ef071f4105051a

Here our film star beauty is back to her natural colour but doesn’t she look lovely for it? This is a great everyday pixie haircut style, one which is simple to create, maintain, and one which looks fab even if you just rolled out of bed. That’s the great thing about pixie cuts, they’re quick and easy to style, not a faff like if you have long hair.

22. Emma Watson Pixie Haircut: Growing Out

1042d17615c31c34dc8d88a0cb518432

This picture shows Emma with her pixie cut at it’s best if you ask me. This slightly grown out style really suits her. She’s combed it back, making it look neat and also showing off its length. The cut of it means you can see hair which is usually hidden too, showing off Emma’s natural highlights. The star looks fantastic here, so elegant and chic.

23. Jennifer Lawrence Pixie Haircut: Styled

7264c98b129889df531e3963f93e484b

Here’s another great look for J.Law. She’s simply taken a bit of gel or hair putty and styled her hair like most guys do. Sounds simple? Well, that’s because it is but my she looks fantastic for it! This style really brings her hair to life and adds volume, texture, and even makes her look a bit edgy. She truly is rocking the pixie cut!

24. Emma Watson Pixie Haircut: Long Pixie

9941f518c222aaad8ae910fb58015aa0

I suppose this is about the longest your hair can be before you have to start calling it a pixie haircut. This is one of Emma Watson’s best looks if you ask me. She’s had her hair swept in all directions, giving it lots of texture, and the longer length of it frames her face perfectly. It really shows off her delicate features while still making her look like a rock chick.

25. Rihanna Pixie Haircut: Highlighted

30143c525d8bb7c6af8a13620ee0f958

Again Rihanna’s back with her pixie haircut with shaved sides but this time she’s done it with a twist. She’s stuck with her natural black colour however has added some distinct blonde highlights to liven up her look. She looks incredibly beautiful here, as well as quirky, edgy, sharp, and like a style goddess. Is there any look she can’t pull off? I’m beginning to think probably not!

26. Jennifer Lawrence Pixie Haircut: All Natural

57290ba1f1bce74899a5a19a2b4709cf

Here Jen has opted for quite a natural look and one which requires minimal styling. This style proves why pixie cuts are so great: they’re so easy to maintain and styling them doesn’t even require styling them. They look great all on their own. She has her hair slightly shaved/shorter at the back to really bring out the edge in her look but the longer parts of her hair are just left to flow freely, ending in a beautiful result.

27. Keira Knightly Pixie Haircut: Long Pixie

b5a073ed09c1424e94ceb6011c72ed7a

Keira is another star that really suits the long pixie look. She’s straightened her hair, making it look incredibly fine, however this doesn’t spoil her look. In fact it only serve to enhance her delicate features. She’s arranged her hair beautifully around her face to frame it and added slight flicks in the ends of her hair for a little extra style. I’m failing to see a downside to this look. It really suits her.

28. Miley Cyrus Pixie Haircut: Spiked 

b0235ed679c82d5c1b16902f9f000b8a

Here Miley starts to show off her truly individual style which is often questionable. Well, often questionable, not in this picture however. I never thought a spiked, slightly mohican hairstyle could work on a girl yet Miley has pulled it off flawlessly. The fact that she’s died the spiked her a contesting colour to the rest of her hair really makes it stand out. If you’re feeling really brave, then this may be the style for you. It sure looks fab!

29. Carey Mulligan Pixie Haircut: Short and Sharp

Carey Mulligan

Carey Mulligan is on fire with this fantastic haircut. The way her hair has been styled makes it look alive and it’s filled with texture. The addition of a twisted piece of hair really enhances the style, completely changing it despite how simple it is to do. This style is quick, easy, yet wields fantastic results.

30. Natalie Portman Pixie Haircut: Short and Simple

cfa19815b209fd0df30e93137ff1bdcd

This is another short and simple style which can be worn everyday with minimal effort. It looks great whether you’re heading for a night out, going grocery shopping, going to work, or sitting on a talk show like Natalie here. I wasn’t sure at first, but she’s definitely pulled off the pixie style.

31. Charlize Theron Pixie Haircut: Waved Back

Charlize Theron

Charlize looks fantastic here as her short pixie cut shows off her delicate features. The way her hair gently waves back is superb. I love how it rises and falls, giving her look volume, texture, and showing off all the subtle colour differences in her hair all at once. This style is a real winner and one I’m surprised we don’t see a lot more of.

31. Coco Rocha Pixie Haircut: Styled and SLeek

Coco Rocha

Coco looks amazing here with her styled and sleek look. I love how she’s added a parting to her hair, soothing I already mentioned we don’t see often with pixie cuts, and then slicked all her hair to the sides. She’s paired this looks with absolutely stunning makeup which makes her look chic, elegant, and like an absolute angel.

32. Coco Rocha Pixie Haircut: Styled and Free

Coco Rocha2

If you weren’t a fan of the slicked back look Coco was going for in the previous picture then it’s likely you’ll like this picture better. She’s gone for a similar style just without all the slick, making for a more natural look. This allows her hair to rise and fall naturally, bringing volume to her look. Her hair looks lovely and fluffy, I’d love to know what she styled it with, I could certainly do with some.

33. Dannii Minogue Pixie Haircut: Side Styled

Dannii Minogue

The Minogue sisters always look beautiful. Fact. Even with her pixie haircut Dannii is no exception to this rule. Here she’s gone for a simple side swept style which curves her bangs gently around her face. While this isn’t my favourite look on her, she still looks incredible as I’m sure she will for many years to come.

34. Natalie Portman Pixie Haircut: Pinned Back

e7c83bce84c47b5b07bb5a11ba13ac5e

This is one of my absolute favourite Natalie Portman looks! Believe it or not, she’s still wearing the pixie cut we saw earlier but she’s somehow managed to bundle it back and pin it behind her head, making it look much longer than it actually is.  As you can see, a lot of her hair has been left loose atop her head and simply pinned in place by hairspray which is the secret to this look. Wow, simply wow!

35. Evan Rachel Wood Pixie Haircut: Hair Accessories

Evan Rachel Wood

Here’s yet another celebrity proving that you can still accessorise even with a pixie haircut. This is so simple yet it completely changes your look. All Evan has done is slid a hatband into her hair, pushed her hair back, and voila! She looks so different to the star we saw earlier yet it’s still the same haircut. Amazing!

36. Emma Watson Pixie Haircut: Red Carpet Ready

f683a7b189ba4ccb33523b884dd2f4cd

37. Emma Watson Pixie Haircut: Super Short

f36069ff6411de6e4745cf8be64e2c31

When your hair is this short there’s not really much styling can be done with it however provided it’s the right dolour to bring our all your features as Emma’s is then I don’t think you ought to worry. The key is to go with a natural colour that you know will suit you and keep your hair well groomed.

38. Frankie Sandford Pixie Haircut: Mismatched Legnths

frankie sandford2

I absolutely adore Frankie’s hair! She was one of the first celebrities to really rock having one side of hair longer than the other and in my opinion it was her that kickstarted the who pixie cut trend. This is great as it gives her hair volume, texture, truly bring out her highlights, and frames her face beautifully without falling over it.

39. Frankie Sandford Pixie Haircut: Curled

frankie sandford3

Here Frankie is wearing the same cut except she’s curled her hair, adding a tonne of volume to it and making her look like a totally different person. It’s amazing how such a simple change can totally transform your look. Frankie looks so elegant here, perhaps even like a stylish nineteen twenties woman if that makes sense!

40. Halle Berry Pixie Haircut: Stort and Styled

Halle Berry

While the majority of Halle’s hair is really short here, she’s kept a few strands longer which has allowed her to create this fabulous look. She’s gently teased her hair into various positions, really bringing her look to life and adding a deal of texture and volume to her style. I don’t think many women suit hair this short but Halle certainly pulls it off.

41. Halle Berry Pixie Haircut; Highlighted

Halle Berry2

Here’s Halle again wearing a similar style. The major difference however is the colour of her hair. She’s had the tips of her hair highlighted a lovely caramel colour which sits in stark contrast with her naturally dark hair. This contrast really catches the eye but still she’s gone easy on the change and hasn’t overdone it I’m pleased to say.

42. Isabel Lucas Pixie Haircut: Hattitude

Isabel Lucas

Not enough women with pixie cuts wear hats if you ask me. Why this is the case remains a mystery however as Isabel proves just how great the style works. Provided you leave some of your hair on show and choose a hat that works with your outfit, there’s no reason that this style won’t work. Try it, you’ll see!

43. Michelle Williams Pixie Haircut: Choppy

Michelle Williams

This is a near perfect look for Michelle Williams. Her hair is delicate, choppy, windswept, and utterly beautiful. Her hair doesn’t seem to know what direction it’s going in but yet it works. Pixie styles are perhaps one of the only styles this works for so I’m pleased Michelle is taking advantage of that fact.

44. Michelle Williams Pixie Haircut: Neatly Styled

Michelle Williams 2

Here in contrast to the previous photo Michelle has styled her hair neatly. I’ll admit, I preferred her look in the previous photo but if you’re heading somewhere important then I suppose this should be your go to style. It’s simple, it’s sweet, and it’s professional.

45. P!nk Pixie Haircut: Messy 

pink

P!nk has sported many styles over the years but none of which have suited her better than her pixie haircut. Being P!nk, it’s unlikely we’ll see her looking prim and proper any time soon but we don’t mind, not when she pulls off this messy pixie style so well. This style is fab and it really suits her personality and her music.

46. Pixie Geldof Pixie Haircut: Pretty In Pink

Pixie Geldof

Here’s Pixie sporting a style that perfectly matches her name! She’s said no to the natural look and has absorbed a gorgeous pink style. She’s chosen her colour carefully, making it not too bright to be inappropriate but bright enough to make a statement. I love it! This washed out shade is great if you’re thinking of dying your hair any colour.

47. Sarah Harding Pixie Haircut: Waves

Sarah Harding

This pixie haircut is absolutely fabulous! Sarah’s gently waves completely transform an everyday pixie cut into something truly special. Notice that they’re not too tightly woven and not too loose either. It’s the fact that her waves are perfect that really makes this style work. I also love her side swept bangs which slightly touch over one eye but not enough to obscure it.

48. Sarah Harding Pixie Haircut: Styled

Sarah Harding2

In contrast, here Sarah has her hair completely straight yet still beautifully styled. She’s puffed it up at the back to add heaps of volume and swept her bangs off in a totally different direction, making for a unique and beautiful style.

49. Valorie Curry Pixie Haircut: Simple

Valorie Curry

When she starred in the Following, no one could get over how fantastic Valorie Curry’s pixie haircut was, even if she was playing a murderous character. Her style is so simple yet it works. For the most part, she pulls this off so well because of her incredibly slight frame and delicate features. Her pixie cut helps to show off the rest of her fab body and highlights all her best features. Sure, she looks great with longer hair too but in my opinion it hides away some of her natural beauty.

50. Valorie Curry Pixie Haircut: Highlighted 

Valorie Curry2

Finally let’s end on Valorie Curry. Here she’s wearing the same style as she was previously but the big difference is her hair colour. By adding blonde to her hair she’s completely changed her look. Notice how she’s still kept brown undertones however. They’re especially prominent on the under-layers of her hair, as they would be if her hair were natural. This is such a simple trick but it really makes her look glow opposed to having all blonde hair.

1. Victoria Beckham A Line Haircut: Short Curls

1ea0c86efb8c7a01e748d6179f2db937

To stop her curls from potentially looking boring, Posh Spice has spiced things up a bit by curling her A Line haircut. Her cut was short in the first place but the tight curls raises it again. This is a great way to gently frame your face and add some variety to your A line style. Notice how Posh hasn’t done her curls too tight either. They’re just tight enough to be considered curls (though I’d say they’re more waves really), giving her style a soft edge.

2. Rihanna A Line Haircut: Tight Curls

2f519a2c84b960ab898209e192d76bab

Speaking of curls, I absolutely love pop princess Rihanna’s curly A line cut. Her original A line cut sat just atop her shoulders but the tight curls she’s added really picks it up, totally changing her look. Notice how the top half of her hair remains smooth and sleek and it’s just the bottom half that she’s had tightly curled. This is a fab way to get the best of both worlds. This style is classy, elegant, yet utterly sexy. It’s one of my favourite looks on her.

3. Rachel McAdams A Line Haircut: Pretty In Pink

3b5a1ef668c0d9cf25b7665326527a24

Rachel McAdams is a true beauty even at the worst of times but I’m sure you’ll agree that her gorgeous pink A line haircut really adds to her look. Here she’s taken a simple A Line cut, made it look rugged yet chic, and tinted it with some beautiful shades of pink. The soft tones really suit her pale skin while the dark tones ignite her hair colour. This is a style you can do with any colour too be it blue, red, purple, anything! Just be sure you remember to mix dark and light shades for the best effect.

4. Scarlett Johansson A Line Haircut: Elegant Curls

03b04384c76df513828af57826875908

I loved having a A line haircut but one of my biggest issues with it was that it was always in my face. I just couldn’t seem to find a way to pin it back elegantly or without looking like I was four. Scarlett Johansson however has managed the feat wonderfully. She’s curled one half of her hair away from her face so it doesn’t fall in her way while she’s pinned back the other half, making for an incredibly chic look. This is a great way to show off all your beautiful features while still having gorgeous hair.

5. Nicole Ritchie A Line Haircut: Straight and Sleek

3eece7fc76ffaadb5755adf2f918892e

Of course, an A line haircut doesn’t have to be anything fancy. It can beautifully simple like Nicole Ritchie here. Her smooth, sleek look shows off the fabulous definition in her style and also really shows off her highlights. I love her short, side-swept bangs. They’re a great way to frame a face, especially if you have an overly large or overly short forehead.

6. Christina Aguilera A Line Haircut: Short and Sleek

4a7bb872833d3adccc9a6161d74784d5

Here the pop sensation has opted for a shorter version of the A line haircut. As she’s tucked under the front portion of her hair it’s difficult to tell whether this is an A line style or not meaning she’s found a great way to quickly alter her entire look. This cut is so simple. It’s short, sweet, and sleek. No confusing bangs or layers, just style.

7. Drew Barrymore A Line Haircut: Long Beach Waves

5a7f76fecf08e48a60c4f40edcc4960b

Here Drew Barrymore has opted for a longer version of the A line haircut and has paired it with beautiful, rugged beach waves. The waves add volume to her fine hair and soften what can often be quite a sharp look. I simply love her gorgeous low lights and the way the contrasting light and dark tones bring out her skin tone.

8. Anne Hathaway A Line Haircut: Accessorise With A Hat

7a5105c3a310a0c0f34d2d265b9ab8a1

As I’ve already shown, your simple A line style need not look the same day in and day out but, for those of you with little to no time to style your hair, grabbing the curlers isn’t the only option you’ve got. Simply adding a hat can completely change your look, giving you a chic new style that will never go out of fashion.

9. Hayden Panettiere A Line Haircut: Simple Elegance

7fe31c11483e8456ce859557e512d0a1

Here Hayden has completely transformed her look, so much so it’s hard to even tell she had an A line cut to begin with. She’s simply brushed all her hair back and held it in place, leaving only her long bangs to softly fly free. This style scream elegance and turns her from a woman into a proper lady. It really suits her in my opinion!

10. Selena Gomez A Line Haircut: Sleek and Highlighted

8f83384096f83f247695caa1d76ebd15

I love Selena Gomez’s long hair but personally I think this suits her even better. It makes her look like someone you’d take seriously, not just a Wizard from Waverly Place. Note how it hangs just above her shoulders, sweeping to one side, and still looks full of volume despite being straightened. I think it’s also worth noting her incredibly subtle highlights. All too often people go over the top with colour but here Selena has show that that’s not at all necessary. Simple and sweet.

11. Nina Dobrev A Line Haircut: A Cheat Style

9de6cec2b342992fa316487cd33475c2

I’m a massive fan of Nina Dobrev and her fabulous long hair yet I’ve fallen in love with this style on her. Okay, so I admit it, it’s not a true A line cut, her long hair has only been curled and styled to look like one, but it still looks amazing. For those of you with long hair not sure if you want to get the chop or not, this is a great first step to see if the style suits you or not. Or it’s just a great way to change your hair for a special occasion!

12. Drew Barrymore A Line Haircut: Tight Curls

14b8129e8d2adf0f81675663e221bdfe

Okay, so I’ll admit that I’m not totally sold on this look but I know some people who love it. Here Drew has altered her straight cut style by adding tight curls, each of them well defined. It makes her style seem a good couple of inches charter and adds a lot of volume to her hair. Perhaps if you’re going to a seventies party…

13. Scarlett Johansson A Line Haircut: Flicked Out

28fd7eaa7c80a94200f5ab1c5074afad

For the majority of A line styles hair is flicked under at the bottom, creating a bobbed look. Here Scarlett has broken from that tradition to make a great look all of her own. She’s has the tips of her hair flicked out the other way making for a whole new look, one I’m not even sure how to describe. This is fab as it looks great yet requires minimal styling.

14. Gwyneth Paltrow A Line Haircut: Medium Length and Straight

71c4933e300ee447ef90ed02b6b76ee8

This is by far one of my favourite looks on good old Gwen. It really suits her slim figure and brings out the structure in her face. This medium length is fab as it allows her to show off her shoulders and back while taking nothing away from her face. As usual, she wears her hair smooth and sleek, a style which she seems to know suits her best.

15. Drew Barrymore A Line Haircut: Big and Beautiful

72c2e809a41e4037bd696e030f66dbfb

This is another style of Drew’s that seems to have torn opinions but personally I love it. I wish this was my hair! Her soft curls add tonnes of volume to her hair and even makes it look layered when it’s not. She’s swept her hair off her face, bringing out all her beautiful features and giving herself an elegance I don’t think we’ve seen in her other styles. Fabulous! I love it!

16. Victoria Beckham A Line Haircut: Short and Straight

73b31c877a8967fb36841c388cf87e2a

This it seems is much more like the Victoria Beckham we’re all used to. Short, straight and sharp. This style really suits her as it highlights her angular face instead of risking hiding it away. Plus, the shape manages to give her a slight bit of volume despite her seemingly thin hair. The soft tones really bring out her tanned skin too. All in all, I’m struggling to think of why this doesn’t work.

17. Bethany Joy Lenz A Line Haircut: Rugged Waves

085e19c48b855754e6c0550e1581bef9

Over the years we’ve seen Bethany Joy Lenz sport many a style but this is one of my favourites on her. I love that it’s not just straight and plain like so many other A Line styles. The slight flicks and waves really liven up the style and add a bit of personality to Bethany’s look. It’s a winner if you ask me.

18. Anne Hathaway A Line Haircut: Long A Line

0201c594838436105ae64c0d7f9c1584

This look is perfect for Anne Hathaway in my opinion. I love how it rests on her shoulders and how her highlights really blend in. She looks so natural she looks radiant. Her long bangs look great tucked behind her ear and also help make this look incredibly simple.

19.Cheryl Cole A Line Haircut:Volumised

470a0fcd24d059fce030d0b62fe759ae

Cheryl Cole is known for a lot of things, one of which is her amazing hair. While it looks fab long, I’m sure you’ll agree this short A line style really suits her. The volume really makes it something special, though whether or not that’s natural for her or is an added extra is hard to say. Either way it looks fab!

20. Kiera Knightley A Line Haircut: Tucked Under

736f3e0cfe70eb564c3388dec0ca6e1c

Kiera Knightley is one of those women who looks fab no matter how she does this hair but it seems she favours short looks. This look is perfect for her. The A line style is cut to just below her chin meaning it can easily tuck under, framing her face like few other cuts can, helping to show off all her delicate features. This is a real winner for her if you ask me.

21. Fearne Cotton A Line Haircut: Soft Beach Waves

787f6a10def64b06407ca5ca7a81b826

Fearne is the second star on out list who manages to pull of perfect beach waves. This look seems so effortless, making her look chic, stylist, and elegant. It gives her the appearance of layers even when there are none.

22. Emma Stone A Line Haircut: Long A Line

4306d479887d3f81bcfc94a8fdb8ccce

This is about the longest an A line hairstyle can be, in fact it’s probably verging on just being classed as simply long hair. Emma Stone wears is beautifully, especially with her side swept bangs. Her highlights look great and really match the warmth of her skin tone to give her a lovely, natural look.

23. Rachel McAdams A Line Haircut: Tight Curls

4841d11effcecd692cd9e2cfee81adba

This isn’t my favourite look on Rachel McAdams but it’s a great example of how you can style an A Line haircut none the less. The tight curls give her a nineteen-twenties type look, bringing an elegance to the star. This is a great way to curl your bangs off your face too.

24. Scarlett Johansson A Line Haircut: Windswept Beauty

6177b5acda3644759edda26b8132dbd5

I’m genuinely still struggling to get over how gorgeous this look is. Here Scarlett has taken her simple A line style, curled it and then thrown it all back off her face in a windswept manor. It really brings her look to life, changing her style completely. Why more women don’t wear there hair like this is beyond me!

35. Scarlett Johanson A Line Haircut: Fiery Red

9760c68841e708cc8f0d62e3fe76e92d

For those of you wondering what Scarlett’s hair looked like before she had it swept back, this is your answer. An A line style with perfect, soft curls. The curls really add volume to her hair, lovingly showing off her round face, and I’m sure you’ll agree that the red really sets of her look. It brings a warmth to her skin and really shows off the green in her eyes. If you’re looking for a new style for summer, this should definitely be in your top ten!

26. Hayden Panettiere A Line Haircut: Simplet Yet Elagent

16507ba6bf8e80bf2b3b12649b602ed8

Hayden looked fab before where I showed her with her hair pinned back off her face but I think I prefer her usual A line style even more. It’s simple, it’s sleek, and it’s the perfect length to show off her face and her prominent collar bones. The lack of layers means her hair is full of volume without looking rugged. It’s just elegant, sleek, and simple.

27. Kirsten Dunst A Like Haircut: Short

44712f75c50c4de6d94f1d8d2a1408ec

Here Kirsten Dunst shows off her wonderfully short A line haircut. It’s perhaps the most simple A line style you can get, though I warn you it doesn’t come with many styling options. I think she looks fab with one side of hair swept off her face and tucked behind her ear and with the other side hanging loose. You can’t really call it a style but boy it suits her!

28. Hayden Panettiere A Line Haircut: It’s All about Volume

65044e34c20978c0480af9b303b64afa

This is officially my favourite look for good old Hayden. She’s taken a simple A line haircut and given it life, volume, and a whole new style. This looks is so simple yet so effective. All she’s done is add a bit of volume, add a few brushed out surly to add the effect of layers, and voila! Her whole look is changed near instantly. She goes from elegant to alive in one simple sweep.

29. Drew Barrymore A Line Haircut: Sultry Waves

a14f27dfcfdb058a67213ac2a9b0df14

By adding some uneven, side swept waves Drew has totally changed her look. She’s gone from shy and chic to sexy and stylish. The uneven waves bring a new life to her hair, making it seem rugged and sultry all at once. This is a look I really think we ought to see more of!

30. Kat Graham A Line Haircut: Long and Blonde

a40fc1936cbaa2ff7ee1eecd00220bc3

I never thought I’d say it, but Kat Graham looks incredible as a blonde. Sure, it doesn’t look natural on her but when you look that good who on Earth cares? Her long A line style looks incredible on her and suddenly makes her look like a grown up compared to her the Vampire Diaries character, Bonnie. Perhaps a dramatic change of colour is what we all need…

31. Ashley Olsen A Line Haircut: Simply Stylish

Ashley Olsen

Here Ashley Olsen looks to have just rolled out of bed, ran a brush through her hair, and headed out in to the wider world. But do we care? No! Not when the resulting look is this chic at least! This look is simple, rugged, sultry, and chic all at once, a rare feat. The great thing about this style is how low maintenance it is too, especially for those days where you roll out of bed late! Maybe I should invest in this style…

32. Sophia Bush A Line Haircut: Sleek and Sexy

be7d351c6c32b0014c3dee7cbb1de5cd

Having watched Sophia Bush play Brooke Davis on One Tree Hill for all nine seasons, I’ve seen her wear her hair many a way. This however is by far my favourite. This medium length style transforms her, making her look like a business women and someone you wouldn’t want to mrs with. It’s also incredibly sexy too. Mixed with her husky, sultry voice, I’d say Sophia is on to a definite winner.

33. Kiera Knightley A Line Haircut: Rugged and Simple

c98d31f41d1b90c906447346d0a6b96b

Here Kiera has swapped her chic look for something a little more rugged and in my opinion she looks all the better for it. Her hair is naturally fine however having roughed it up a bit she seems to have a bit more life now. The subtle side sweep of her parting is something else I love; it’s not quite central yet it’s not so far over that it risks hair falling in her face. Again she’s got her hair at that beautiful length where it nicely curls under her chin.

34. Reese Witherspoon A Line Haircut: Sheer Elangance

cd984a4f2660a3122ad178b39984ce7e

What a beauty Reese is, especially with her hair swept off her face like this! I love the way her bangs have been sturdied atop her head, revealing her eyes, and the sharp yet somehow gentle curls that loop around her face. This style screams elegance to me – it would be perfect for a wedding, a prom, or something along those lines. Simple beautiful!

35. Miley Cyrus A Line Style: Chic and Elegant

cfd69a8ff560a7333c4dd1638d745cb8

Yes, believe it or not these was a time before Miley chopped off her hair and decided to develop her wild personally. This is by far my favourite look for the young star and shows her with an elegance we don’t often get to see. Her soft curls scream nineteen-twenties at me and paired with her perfect makeup I don’t see how anyone could possibly go wrong with this look. Here’s hoping we get to see Miley looking a little more like this again in future. She sure looks beautiful here.

36. Christina Aguilera A Line Haircut: Soft Waves and Curls

Christina-Aguilera

Here Christina sports a rare blend of both curls and waves, something we don’t see often enough if you ask me. This style makes her look chic yet still totally care free. This look is perfect whether you’re simply hitting the town for a night out, going for a shopping trip, or simply lounging around the house. This is what I call an ‘anytime’ style as it suits most any occasion.

37. Scarlett Johansson A Line Haircut: Rugged Wave

d25558c7148961c3ec11845cad8c53a8

Okay, okay, so I’ve mention Scarlett loads already, I know. But the thing is she rocks A Line styles like few other people can. She’s sown off so many over the years, making them all look flawless. Here is another favourite of mine where she sports simple rugged waves. Sure, she’s not perfectly preened but coupled with her lovely makeup she pulls off this style and turns a rugged look into something very stylish. That’s quite an accomplishment if you ask me.

38. Dianna Agron A Line Haircut: Short and Rugged

dianna agron

This look is sheer genius if you ask me. In fact, I wish this was my hair! Dianna has taken a simple A line cut and styled it so it looks completely fresh and new. She’s mixed a variety of brush strokes and used a straightener to both straighten and flick her hair, truly giving it a life of its own. This look is incredibly sexy yet still looks professional and everyday too. It’s incredibly versatile and looks fab on all face shapes.

39. Dianna Agron A Line Haircut: Rugged

dianna agron 2

While we’re on the subject of Dianna Agron’s rugged looks, here’s another of them. I’ll admit I don’t like this look quite as much yet there’s still a certain charm to it. My one tip if you’re trying out this look is to maybe use a smoothing setup afterward to minimise any flyways, that way you’ll still get the rugged look but maybe not quite so…well, rugged.

40. Dianna Agron A Line Haircut: Sleek and Flciked

dianna agron 3

This is perhaps the Dianna we’re all used to seeing. She looks much more like her Glee character here. I love how she’s not tucked under her ends but has instead flicked them out, something which I think really brings her look to like. She still looks smart and chic yet she has a bit of personality about her now too. Her side swept bangs also look fabulous here. They add both mystery and innocence to her look, something I didn’t even think was possible until I saw this picture.

41. Dianna Agron A Line Haircut: Stylish Curls

Dianna-Agron-Curly-A-Line-Bob-Haircut

Okay, I’ll stop with Dianna after this one I promise but I just wanted to clearly show how one person can wear one style yet change it so completely. Here she completely transforms her look once again and the addition of large, soft curls makes her look smart and elegant opposed to innocent and sexy as we’ve seen her look before. Her distinct, side parting looks great and really helps to add volume to her hair and change up her look too. You’ll be amazed by just how much moving your parting can change your look. Seriously, you should try it!

42. Kirsten Dunst A Line Haircut: Short, Soft Waves

e49caa1729302eae8bc38da0f4d3fae0

Here Kirsten has opted for a shorter look than we saw earlier, and she’s also added in a full fringe which personally I don’t think we see enough of these days. Her hair is styled simply with the addition of just light waves which bring life to her hair and ensures her fine hair doesn’t look limp. This is an incredibly simple look and is a great way to ensure you still look fabulous even if you don’t have much time to style yourself.

43. Jennifer Lawrence A Line Haircut: Rugged Waves

ed620712707671a0db3027d7d2f94f1a

I’m going to be honest, I preferred J. Law’s long hair but this style still looks fab on her. This style looks so simple yet it’s incredibly chic. It makes her look sexy, subtle, and shy all at once, a rare feat. I love how the gentle waves really bring out her highlights and the way her bangs sit upon her face. If you’re thinking of trying an A line style but don’t want to make too big a commitment then this may be the style for you.

44. Maisie Williams A Line Haircut: Short and Volumised

f3a86fc36b36af2567b8a007d96ca81f

Maisie Williams is a fast rising starlet but this fabulous A Line haircut makes her look much older than what she is. This style is elegant, sharp, stylish, and very professional, a great option if you need to be taken seriously, perhaps at a new job. One of my favourite things about this style is how low maintenance it is too. Simply brush it through, perhaps take a minute to straighten it, and you’re done. Quick and easy.

45. Emma Roberts A Line Haircut: Long Curls

f8ff9400344500d39d892f249e4b3e0e

Here Emma Roberts sports a long version of the A line haircut. It would in fact look longer again were it not for the gentle curls she has running through it. Emma has quite fine hair so the curls helps to bring a bit of volume to it and not make it look limp. This is a great trick for those of you who aren’t blessed with naturally thick hair. This look is great if you’ve got highlights to as the curls really help to bring them to light.

46. Kristen Stewart A Line Haircut: Simple and Windswept

f71ba000de487930826022f4d2f2b71d

We;ve all undoubtedly had those days where we’ve spent hours styling out hair only to step outside and have the wind ruin all our handwork. This is one of the reasons I love A line styles – it needn’t matter if the wind catches you as they still look fab even when windswept as Kristen Stewart demonstrates here. All you need to do is brush it through and you look fab again.

47. Rihanna A Line Haircut: Sleek and One Sided

gallery_big_Rihanna_A-line_bob.png

Having an A line style that’s longer at one side than it is at the other isn’t something everyone can pull of yet Rihanna does it flawlessly. She’s totally rocking this uneven look, making the style her own. Having this style straight really shows off your look and doesn’t hide the varying lengths either. This is a great style if you’re bold enough to try it.

48. Katy Perry A Line Haircut: Straight Bangs

katy_perry

Straight bangs are something we definitely don’t see enough of yet they look amazing. I love Katy Perry’s A line styled when it’s paired with her straight bangs. It really sharpens her look and makes her stand out in a crowd.

49. Kiera Knightly A Line Haircut: Beach Waves

Keira_Knightley_A-line_bob

I’m sure you’ll agree that Kiera Knightly looks as though she could have walked straight off a beach here. She’s styled her short A line cut with gentle, uneven waves which really help to bring her look to life. They add texture to her hair instead of having it lying limp against her head and it doesn’t matter if the wind catches her, it will only enhance her look in fact.

50. Paris Hilton A Lin Haircut: Wispy Waves

paris_hilton_trend_Celebrity_bob_haircut_in_Summer_2009

This is a great style which doesn’t take a great deal of effort to create. Paris has simply added a few wispy waves to her hair here and there to give it a bit of life and texture. Her style is very short but by adding these waves she brings her style to life and stops it from looking dull. This is a great style for all you professionals out there.

I hope you’ve enjoyed this list, have a nice day!

Really- what’s not to love about this gorgeous hairstyle? It’s so simple, yet has so much sexy style it’s ridiculous. To achieve this gorgeous style, start by styling your hair with a generous side part. Thick side bangs are almost essential to this style.

Although Ashlee Simpson seems to switch up her ‘do every other month, we aren’t complaining- we love all of her beautiful, sexy styles. And this is just one of those hairstyles we fell in love with. Ashlee Simpson shows off beautiful, long red strands that are completely straight. We’re talking at least a little bit of product and a lot of hair straightening to achieve that soft, perfectly straight style. Paired with a set of sexy side bangs, this lovely long hairstyle is definitely one to try.

4. Carrie Underwood Long Hairstyle with Bangs : Layers Framing

This adorable long hairstyle comes with a series of multi-length layers which give plenty of focus to the face while also giving the hair a bouncy ‘flip’, which we can clearly see in this photo of Carrie Underwood.

With bun hairstyles being so incredibly hot this year, there’s really no questioning why this lovely style hit the best 50 long hairstyles chart.

We’re loving this great look with accompanying wispy bangs for a very on-trend look.

We love this style as it is totally low maintenance and can stick by you through the most enduring activities.

10. Miley Cyrus Long Hairstyle with Bangs : Clips and Waves

miley-cyrus-long-hairstyles-2012-popular-haircuts

It’s been a long while since Miley Cyrus had her long hair, but it’s still a style that is loved by long-haired women around the world. This style gives off a cute, feminine vibe that looks absolutely perfect! For this style, start with a few waves throughout. Then, grab two small strands of hair on each side of the face and pull it back to a very thin up-do, leaving the bulk of the hair to lay beautifully in front. Perfect for classy situations or even roundabouts in town.

12. Eva Mendes Long Hairstyle with Bangs : To the Side

eva-mendes-hairstyle1

There’s something about hair being pulled completely to the side that makes women appear so elegant, so classy- and that’s exactly why your mouth dropped when you saw the stunning Eva Mendes’ hairstyle. She’s pulled her head of hair to one side, adding a few simple waves for dimension and volume. With her bangs flipped nicely to the side, she’s created a long hairstyle fitted for the grammys.

13. Jessi Ware Long Hairstyle with Bangs : Short Bangs Jessie-Ware

Eye-skimming bangs might be at their height of popularity right now, but that doesn’t mean there’s no room for the complete opposite. We love Jessi Ware’s for the simple fact that her bangs are cute and seriously edgy. They are cut extremely short while the rest of the locks are left long. Can we say attitude? Why yes, we can! If you’re looking to revamp your look and want something totally different with plenty of attitude, consider these short shorts!

14. Leigh Lezark Long Hairstyle with Bangs : A CombinationLeigh-Lezark angeled cut

If you’re a fan of structure, then this is definitely the look for you. Leigh Lezark shows us a long hairstyle that has attitude and structure- a combination that can’t fail. The hair is cut with extreme angles that can easily be pointed out, leaving the hair looking fuller with plenty of dimension. If you want to pull off this angular, blunt hairstyle, you may consider doing as Leigh Lezark did and dying your hair black for that extra bit of feisty attitude.

15. Nicole Richie Long Hairstyle with Bangs : Accessories! Nicole-Richie-lg

Boho chic. Yes, you’ve heard of it. And you haven’t, let me introduce you to the new era of fashion. Boho chic is basically a cute revamped version of hippie style and it’s seriously taken the fashion world by storm. Here we get a glimpse of boho chic with Nicole Richie’s hairstyle, which includes loose waves throughout, finished off with a gorgeous golden headpiece. Note: This isn’t a headband, it’s a headpiece. It wraps around the top of the head and pulls the hair tight at the top for a really gorgeous look.

16. Taylor Swift Long Hairstyle with Bangs : Ponytail Taylor Swift

Ah, the beloved ponytail. It really doesn’t get any simpler, does it? If you’re in a rush and don’t feel like messing with your hair (but still want to look ridiculously cute), then you definitely need to consider Taylor Swift’s ponytail. It’s pulled back in a ponytail that isn’t too high or too low, giving it a little bounce and perkiness. She leaves the bangs loose to frame her face and give her that flirty, feminine glow.

17. Anne Hathaway Long Hairstyle with Bangs : Small Side Braid

Anne Hathaway Side Braid

Gals with long hair might get in a rut, always putting their hair in the same straight style.

Dealing With A Bad Haircut http://www.herinterest.com/dealing-with-a-bad-haircut/ http://www.herinterest.com/dealing-with-a-bad-haircut/#comments Sun, 12 Jan 2014 11:48:05 +0000 http://www.herinterest.com/?p=8409

We’ve all been there – we’ve all made our way happily to the hairdressers picturing which celebrity we want them to make us look like only to return home later that same day with out eyes brimming with tears and our heads spinning with anger. Bad haircuts suck. They make us feel rage, sadness and not to mention stress. Do we really have to go out the house looking like this? Calm down, girls, we’ve all been there – me included. As terrible as it may seem at the time, a bad haircut isn’t the end of the world however. It’s not the fact that your hair seems ruined, it’s how you deal with it that matters.

With that said, here’s some neat tips and tricks to help you go from having an awful haircut to looking stylish…

Curls Hide Everything

When in doubt, curl! Curling your hair or adding waves to it automatically hides any wonky or uneven bits. When your hair is curled, everything is different lengths anyway so no one will notice your bad do. Plus, you can added tighter or looser curls to help even out any extremely bad, ahem, mishaps. Even better, your hair will look wonderfully stylish in your attempts to cover the hairdressers tracks.

DON’T Reach For The Scissors

As tempting as it is to simply reach for the scissors and fix your hair yourself, don’t! Trust me, you’ll only make it worse. I know you may look in the mirror and think ‘how hard can it be?’ or ‘I could fix that’, I’m sorry to say you’re wrong. Hairdressers go through a lot of training to do what they do, it really is an art form. If you start going DIY you’ll only end up making your hair shorter, wonkier and, ultimately, worse. If you think your hair needs some tender love and care asap then visit a professional. They may not be able to magically grow your hair back but they may be able to even it out for you.

 

Straighten It

If the problem is that your hairdresser has cut an inch or two too much off your beautiful locks and you now feel close to having mans hair, straightening your hair could be the answer. Not only does straightening make your hair look sleek and sext but it also adds length to your locks.

Experiment!

So you’ve got a bad haircut, it’s not the end of the world. If you ask me, now’s the time to get experimental. Try pinning your hair back in new ways, add a bid of volume or backcomb it, slide a few fancy hair clips in or add a headband. Any of this will draw eyes towards what’s new and different about your hair, not what’s wrong with it. Now’s a great time to try new things that you might not have tried otherwise.

Take Inspiration From Others

If you need a little inspiration on how to deal with your hair, have a flick through some celebrity gossip magazines or browse them online. It doesn’t matter what your hair looks like, I guarantee that someone famous has a similar style and that they’re rocking it. If they can do it, why can’t you? There’s plenty of hair magazines out there too so why not pick up one of them to see how others are wearing your do? No matter how bad you think your hair may look, there’s a way to pull it off.

 

Chop Even More Off

This tip isn’t for everyone but, if you really hate your hair and have a bit of bravery about you, how about going even shorter? Since your hair is already so short and uneven compared to normal, maybe what you need is a whole new haircut entirely. Maybe now’s the time to take a leap of faith and try a pixie cut or a bob. You could go really radical like loads of the celebs are doing just now. Take a leaf out of Jennifer Lawrence or Miley Cyrus’s book, they’re rocking their pixie crops so there’s no reason you can’t too!

Don’t Spread The Word

If your stuck with a bad haircut it can be tempting to cry to all your friends about it and spread the word about a terrible hairdresser but trust me this wont help. You’re better off keeping quiet and telling people that this is the haircut you wanted. Act confident and no one will even notice how you really feel about your hair and what’s more they won’t care. This is especially important if all of a sudden you start wearing accessories in your hair or start curling it. You don’t want people asking the reason behind your sudden radical change.
