Say it with me: Everybody's in their side-part era! And you can be too. If you're feeling inspired, we have good news: It's super easy to re-create Swift's beloved side-parted bangs, no matter how your type, cut, or length.
If you prefer blow-drying bangs straight, celebrity hairstylist Marc Mena advises doing so as usual, then securing them to the side with a no-crease hair clip. “Leave the clip there for a few minutes while you finish getting ready, then finish it off with a light flexible finishing spray so they stay in place,” Mena says.
New York City hairstylist Dan Williams agrees, adding that you can also use a round brush or Dyson AirWrap. “Make sure the hair is wrapped under and toward the face, then allow to cool and push to either side that suits your preference and secure with lots of hairspray,” he says.

If you're more into heat styling, Williams instead suggests using a large-barrel curling iron to get the look. “Use a one-inch-or-above curling iron to add smoothness and a slight bend at the end of the hair, and turn the barrel downward toward the face when curling, and then release and let set until cool,” he says.
Finally, if your hair is super stubborn, incorporate a Velcro roller. “Then part it to your desired side and secure with lots of hairspray,” he says.
And just like that, you're ready to start the new year with a (side) bang.
