35 Gorgeous Side-Swept Wedding Hair Ideas

There is something about a side-swept wedding hair look that just exudes glamour and elegance, which may be exactly what you're going for on your big day. Since they usually aren't something you would do on an everyday basis, side-swept hairstyles naturally feel a bit more formal, and that makes them perfect for a bride. Most importantly, your wedding is not really the time to experiment with a hairstyle you would normally never think about trying. "Pick something that feels like you," Calisti says. "You'll be wearing this style all day, so comfort and confidence are key.”

“Recession Hair” is Chic, Strategic — and Won’t Bleed Your Wallet Dry

You’re not alone if you’ve been extra worried about money lately. All this talk about a potential recession has many people scrambling to find ways to cut back and save. For some, that means shopping sales; for others, it means minimizing how often they do costly things like getting their hair colored. So many people are interested in saving money at the salon, and it has inspired a beauty trend called “recession hair.”

“While exact cost depends on where you get your color done, upkeep for blonde hair can be quite the investment and oftentimes the more expensive option because of the frequency of salon visits you need to maintain it,” explains Calisti, who adds that going a bit darker at the roots and blending into a lighter shade is helpful because grow out won’t be as noticeable.

The Best Brow Tints to Coat Every Hair With Color—And Artfully Frame the Face

When it comes to tinting the brows outside of a salon, one has options. On one hand, there are tinted brow gels (a celebrity makeup artist’s go-to) that come off after one wash. Of course, you could always opt for a home tint kit, which comes with all the essentials for applying a temporary coat of color, with minimal risk of error.

But Calisti has a word of caution about the latter: “When applying brow dye, be careful! While the kit comes with a spoolie, I recommend using an eyeliner brush for precision,” she says. “An eyeliner brush helps create sharp, defined edges and prevents unwanted stains.”
