All the layers should be cut such that they are flipped outwards. Then cut the front section of the hair into side bangs, but not sweeping bangs. This hairstyle has been sported many times by Paula Abdul.

To get this style, get some layers near the crown, and few layers near the ends of the hair. Then cut the front section of the hair into side sweeping bangs. The hair at the ends should be styled outwards, using a blow dryer.
