They look chic because of which many celebrities prefer going for this side bun hairstyle instead of the usual bun at the back of the head. Here's a step by step method of how you can make a side bun.

Step 1:

First you comb your hair properly. If you have any tangles left, then it will be very difficult for you to tie a bun.

Step 2:

Next, tie a pony at the side of your head, i.e. the side where you want your bun to be. Now, divide the pony into two parts, and then twist the two parts and bring it close to your scalp.

Step 3:

Pin these two buns and use a hair spray that will hold on the bun and will also not let go of the messy look. A messy bun style is something which many females are going for today.

The side bun goes for all lengths of hair, short, medium or long. But for short hair, the look of the bun will almost be as if you have put on a faux-bun. So it's better that you try out this bun on straight medium or long hair. There are several medium hairstyles which you can try out anytime you want in order to look great.

Again, as I have already told you before, comb your hair properly. Make sure that there are no tangles at all. This will only make your work easier.

Step 2:

Next, taking a part of your hair, tie a braid and send it at the back of your head. Make sure that the plaits that you are making are equal in size. Do not have one thick and the other thin.

Step 3:

Now, the rest of the hair that is left, tie that up in a pony tail and roll it into a bun. Nothing difficult about it, as the bun will be like any other bun which you make everyday. While making the bun, leave some loose strands of your hair which will come to use later. Hold up the bun using some attractive pins. If you want, you can use some hair accessories. Try out some and I assure you, you will look gorgeous.

Step 4:

Now, come to the loose hair that you have left out. Take a curling iron. If you do not know how to use hot rollers, then ask someone to help you with it. Make sure that it's not too hot, otherwise it will only burn your hair. Curl the loose strands and if you want, you can hold it with some hair spray. There, you have a simple curly bun hairstyle. Now you can go to parties looking like...let's say Taylor Swift!
