Create your own side swept curls

Posted by Jo Roberts on September 16, 2011

The temperatures are coming down….and so is our hair.  Long, flowing styles are very hot property right now – and in particular, side-swept curls.  Stars such as Megan Fox, Kim Kardashian, Selena Gomez, Diane Kruger, Beyonce and Taylor Swift are all huge fans of this glamorous look.  And the great news is, you don’t need a celebrity stylist to pull it off at home – just some hair extensions, a hairdryer, curling tongs, a volumising product and some hairspray.

First up, use clip in hair extensions to boost the length, then prepare your hair using a volumising spray or heat protective styling spray.  Next, blow dry fully using a round brush.

Curl sections of the hair on your tongs, leaving the strands on the iron for no more than 10 seconds so that you create waves, as opposed to tight curls.

Spray with a light hold hairspray and finish by sweeping the hair over to one side and use a pin to secure it all in place.

This is a simple yet elegant look which is perfect for a night out.  Even if your hair is already quite long, using some clip in hair extensions will give you that extra volume and shine, making you look fit for any red carpet!
