6. The Side-Swept Hollywood Glamour Cut
Step-by-Step Guide
The side-swept Hollywood glamour cut uses deep asymmetrical parting and long, cascading wave layers to create sophisticated, red-carpet-worthy volume. By parting the hair two to three inches to the side, you redirect the root growth, instantly creating vertical lift across the front hairline. The lengths are cut with long, continuous diagonal layers that blend seamlessly into soft, sculpted waves. This asymmetrical styling frames the cheekbone on one side while elegantly showcasing the neck and jawline on the other, creating an elongating, flattering effect that suits formal occasions and professional settings.
Cut the hair perimeter into a classic soft U-shape while the hair is parted down the middle to ensure balanced symmetry. Once dry, use the tail of a comb to create a clean part starting above the outer arch of the eyebrow, sweeping the hair diagonally across the crown. Take large two-inch sections of the heavy side, elevate them forty-five degrees, and point-cut the ends to create soft, cascading wave guides. Prep the dry hair with a flexible setting spray and wrap two-inch vertical sections around a one-and-a-quarter-inch curling wand, directing all curls in the same direction toward the back. Allow the curls to cool completely for ten minutes, brush through them gently with a natural boar-bristle paddle brush to form uniform Hollywood waves, and set the deep side part with a spritz of shine-enhancing hairspray.
