4. Deep Side-Swept Volume

A deep side part instantly adds glamour and drama to any straight style. By sweeping a large portion of your hair to one side, you create an asymmetrical silhouette that adds volume at the roots and a soft, face-framing effect. This style is perfect for those who want a bit of “wow” factor without sacrificing the sleekness of straight hair.

How to Make

While the hair is still warm, create a deep side part. Use a round brush to blow-dry the hair at the roots, lifting it upward to create significant volume before flat-ironing the rest of the length. Use a clip to hold the hair in place while it cools, which helps the side-swept shape “set.” Once cooled, let it fall naturally. If you have layers, this style will beautifully showcase the graduation of your cut.

Things Needed

  • Round brush
  • Flat iron
  • Styling clips (for setting the volume)
  • Volumizing root spray
  • Smoothing cream
