How to French Braid Your Bangs to the Side

Last Updated: February 2, 2022

Have you ever wondered how to get the casual look of a french braid to the side? With a little practice, you can master this style and use it whenever you want a cute but casual look.

Steps

1
Comb through your hair with any brush. Make sure there are no knots.
2
Section off the hair that you want to braid. Put the rest into a side ponytail on the opposite side of your head.

3
Grab three small sections right by your part. Cross the section closest to your forehead over the middle section.
4
Take the not braided section and cross that over the section now in the middle.
5
Repeat the cross-over process again.
6
Take your loose section. Add some of the hair right next to it then repeat the cross-over process.
7
Keep repeating until you get to the end of the head.
8
Look for leftover hair, which will need braiding. To braid, repeat the cross-over process and then take the last strand and cross over the middle strand. Keep repeating until you are to the middle of the back of the head (for shorter hair repeat until out of hair.)
9
Bobby pin the braid with two pins in a "X".
- If you feel the need, hairspray the braid to keep it in place.
10
Enjoy your look!

Question

I love this style, but I don't have bangs. Can i still do it?

Community Answer

Yes! Grab a piece of hair from the front of your head and start with a deep side part.
Question

What if I have short hair?

Community Answer

You can try, but this style probably won't be very effective until your hair is shoulder length.
Question

Do I need bangs to do this style?

It looks best with bangs, but could just be done with the same length hair. It might look a little different though.
