A side hair bow is pretty and not as difficult as you might expect.

1. Side Hair Bow

This is a very pretty and super easy style to do.

Tie your hair into a loose side ponytail.
Grab two strands of hair from the ponytail and form them into a bow.
Secure with a bobby pin.

A waterfall braid is a fun twist on a French braid.

2. Waterfall Braid

This is a loose French braid that wraps around the back of your head.

Take some hair from the top of one side of your head.
Braid the hair three times.
When the left side is completed, drop the right strands and let them fall down the side of your head.
Continue this process and finish with a plait at the base of your skull.

This fluffy twist is combined with a fishtail braid.

3. Fluffy Twist Into Fishtail Braid

This is a lovely boho style.

Loosely twist hair at the crown and pin.
Then, form a loose fishtail braid to meet the center of the crown.

Make a braid a little more exciting by doing a double braid.

4. Messy Double Side Braid

The messy double braid is a very sweet style that looks effortless. You can finish off with a bow for extra cuteness.

5. Little Plait, Big Plait

Separate three long strands of hair.
Braid one of the strands.
Then, simply braid the three strands together!

For those days when you don't want braids, a twisted side ponytail is a cute option.

6. Twisted Side Ponytail

This is a great alternative to braids and only takes minutes to do.

Pin a small section of hair at the back of the neck.
Twist around a headband and continue pinning at each twist.
Finish the ponytail and wrap the remaining hair around the pony to cover the hairband.

7. Sporty Braids

Double braids are a very cute look and great for when you haven't had time to wash your hair. Besides, plaits always look better when hair isn't washed because there will be more volume.
