Looking for a quick hair style that’s simple to do but looks dressy and oh so chic? Look no further. I’ve got a hairstyle that’s perfect for date night, a formal event, even a not-so-dressy event like everyday life!
This style is also perfect for little girls. My daughter does this to her own hair and when she does, it always looks adorable!
This hair style works best on shoulder length or longer hair. For this style, you will need a comb (or brush), an elastic or hair tie (should be the same color as your hair so that it blends in), and a few bobby pins.
Braided Side Bun
Step 1
Comb or brush hair to one side of the head, keeping the length of the hair over the shoulder.
Step 2
Separate 3 small sections of the hair just above the temple on the side of the head you brushed you hair toward in step 1.
Step 3
Using the sections you just separated out, start braiding down the side of the head, adding additional sections from each side of the braid as you go. (Just do a normal french braid, only it will be positioned at the side of your head instead of the back.)
Step 4
Once you’ve incorporated all the hair into the braid, continue to braid until you reach the ends of the hair, then fasten it with an elastic or hair tie.
Step 5
Begin coiling the length of the braid around and the neck, just below and behind your ear, creating a bun. Be sure to tuck the end of the braid underneath the bun to hide it.
Step 6
Secure the bun well with bobby pins. Check for any stray hairs or anything else that might need to be adjusted.
And there you have it—a beautiful and elaborate looking hair style that only took you a few minutes to do!
