Easy Small Side Braid
Part your hair just off-center. On the side of more hair, take a thin line of hair along part, about two inches long. Divide into three pieces.
Variations on Small Side Braid
I most commonly wear this easy small side braid with my hair down…at first. Then at some point I’ll put the rest of my hair into a low ponytail or bun – a great second day hairstyle.
You can also easily do two braids (one on each side). When I do this, I like to join the ends of the braids with a clear elastic. I take one-third to one-half of my lose hair and pull it up into a clip to get it out of the way, secure the braids with the elastic, then drop the hair over the braids.
And then, obviously, you can work the small braid into a larger single braid.

Easy Small Side Braid
If you're looking for an easy, elegant way to wear your hair down but keep your hair out of your face, try this easy small side braid. It's great for short and long hair. Try an easy small side braid or two for an easy, fun hairdo. This step by step photo tutorial shows you how to do it easily.
Materials
- antifrizz serum/gel/hairspray to help flyaways
Tools
- mini bobby pins
- mini hair elastics
Instructions
- Part your hair just off-center. On the side of more hair, take a thin line of hair along part, about 2" long. Divide into three pieces.
- Begin braiding* hair down hairline adding hair only from the front. This is a half-french braid of sorts. Instead of grabbing hair with every movement, it’s done just half the time. Be sure to only grab about a half inch from the front.
- Continue to pull new hair into braid until you’ve passed your ear. Then continue braiding hair until braid length reaches the middle of the back of your head. Secure with small hair elastic.
Sweep all hair above braid out of the way (can use a hairtie or clip). Secure braid in place with two bobby pins – facing opposite directions. Let remaining hair down.
