35 Great Ideas for Long Hair with Side Bangs
Long hair is such a wonderful thing to have because the number of things you can do with it is just infinite! It’s so much fun to play with, albeit needing a bit more care than short hair, but that goes with the territory. And with that, here are 35 fun hairstyles for long hair with side bangs that you might just enjoy trying on your own!
1Back Hair Bow
This hairstyle looks more complicated than it seems, but it is quite easy. Begin with gathering your hair half up and wrap your hair tie until it is ALMOST tight enough, and on the last wrap, pull your hair into a loop. It must not be a long loop and remember to leave enough hair behind to put between the center. Divide your loop neatly into 2, and pull the rest of the hair between the loops, securing it with bobby pins.
2Big Bun
3Curly Top Bun
4Half-Finished Pigtails
These double french braids are probably the staple of every little girl in the world, but it doesn’t mean that only little girls get to wear them. It’s an easy enough hairstyle that is stylish to boot. Like the foto, you can wrap a thin piece of hair around your hair tie to hide it and make everything look prettier.
5Half Pigtails Half Down
6Double Half-Bun
7Faux Hawk Braid
This is a personal favorite because it is just so cool. Start by preparing your hair with some texturizing spray like a dry shampoo or salt water. Divide your hair into three parts, and make a french braid with the middle part, all the way down to the nape of your neck. Gather the side parts into the nape of your neck as well, remembering to leave a bit of your side bangs behind, and then secure it with a hair tie. Cover your hair tie by wrapping a bit of hair around it, and you are done!

9Gorgeous Side Braids
Isn’t this side braid something? It looks so wonderful and the perfect concert hair too! You would probably need someone to help you with this, but if you can do it on your own, we take our hats off to you. If you do not have naturally curly hair, it might be nicer to curl your remaining hair with a curling wand for added texture and effect.

17High Ponytail with Bangs
One of the few hairstyles one masters before one turns 13. The high ponytail will never let you down. You can spruce it up by teasing your ponytail, adding more volume to it. Another neat trick is by starting with a half ponytail, then you gather your remaining hair towards your first ponytail and tie it a close to your first ponytail as possible. If you have enough hair, you can cover your hair ties by wrapping a piece of hair around them. The effect is a thicker, more voluminous ponytail.
18Long Side Braid Ponytail
An easy and cool hairstyle where you start with a french braid on the side of your head, and ending around the tip of your ear. You then continue with a regular braid down to the end of your hair. Gather everything into a ponytail, and you are done! You can do it on both sides of your head as well, if you wish.
19Loose French Braid
Most french braids we see are neat and tight. That’s just how we were taught as little girls- your hair must be neat and tidy. However, messy hairstyles are now becoming more and more popular because it gives this carefree and casual vibe. This french braid looks wonderful, and if you add a few fresh sprigs of flower here and there, you are ready for a spring festival!

22Pompadour with Swept Sides
Hello there, rockstar! This is such a cool hairstyle and very easy to boot. Start by gathering a small section of hair on top of your head and twisting it. Push it a little forward to create your “puff” and secure with bobby pins. Now you can stay at that, or you can pull back the rest of your hair into a ponytail to achieve the same look as the picture.
23Ponytail with Scarf
A very pretty and very simple look which reminds us of fun afternoons at the carnival. Matching your hair scarf to your outfit will create a very put-together look that is overall very pleasing. When the air gets a little chilly, you can also wrap the scarf around your neck to keep you warm. Win-win!
24Retro Bun with Side Bangs
25Retro Chic Side Twists
A very chic look, especially so because it was paired with beautifully winged eyes and red lipstick. It works so much better as a deep side part rather than just a regular middle part. Twist portions of your hair back, and secure them with bobby pins. Your curls should look as natural as possible, so try to avoid “beauty queen curls” with this look.
26Side Braid Bun
You can easily make this hairstyle as simple or as complicated as you want. The simple version would be to make a french braid on the side of your head finishing until the end of your hair. Gather your remaining hair into a low bun at the nape of your neck, and wrap the rest of your braid around your bun. You can loosen bits of hair here and there to have a more relaxed look.
27Side Long Braid
28Side Braid with Fishtail
Here is an even more interesting take on the side braid – you end it with a fishtail! It starts as a reverse side braid which you continue until the end of your hair. With your remaining hair, do a fishtail until the bottom. Take the end of your reverse braid over your fishtail and towards the other side of your head, as in the picture and pin the end under your hair.
