Side Swept Hair Is 'IN'

We all watch award shows and celebrity studded events with avid interest. And thus, it must have not escaped your notice that celebrities are seen with side swept hair very often these days. There are many short and long hairstyles that can be tried in this mould. Unlike elaborate celebrity hairstyles, side swept hair is a pretty easy style to copy.

Moreover, there are many varieties that you can experiment with. Side swept hair can either be left open like Kareena kapoor in the white dress or tied up like Piggy Chops. The hairstyle you choose should be decided according to texture of your hair. Bebo has long and straight hair that can be simply left open. While Priyanka Chopra has long bangs that look good when tied into a bunch.

Side swept hair can really increase your hotness quotient. You can take some tips from adult star Sunny Leone for that. This is one of the best long hairstyles that are side wept. On the other hand, side swept hair can be extremely formal too. Natalie Portman curled and side swept her hair last year when she won the Oscars. A pregnant Natalie looked great in this chic celebrity hairstyle.

The Indian perspective to side swept hairstyles is an interesting one. Kareena has tried this Mughal looking side swept style for her item number. With the bright red sharara and the authentic jewellery, she looks like a perfect Persian courtesan. Another long hairstyle that comes under this genre and is worth noticing is the braided Greek look. Sonam Kapoors lovely long hair looks great when it is left hanging on her shoulders. But the braids at her crown make it all the more special.

These are some of the best examples of side swept hair that we have gathered from the celebrities in recent times.
