America Ferrera Ferrera perfects this romantic half-updo, and so can you. Take the top half of your hair and sweep it over to one side of your head (near your ear). Pin it into place with a large barrette or jeweled clip, and loosely curl the ends of your hair. Bobby pin any loose strands away from your face for a more polished look.

I love these styles, especially since I'm growing out my bangs.

I looooved Maria Menouno's hair! The color and the style were just perfect.

I definitely liked most of these looks and am going to try them out on myself, but I wish they showed pictures of the side swept bangs with the hair down and not up in a pony or bun. I am trying to get a good picture to bring to my hairdresser because I am terrible at explaining what I want and the headline for this article was a little deceiving because I thought they were going to have their hair down. Oh well, I'll keep looking but in the meantime, I can't wait to try some of these styles out!!
