SIMPLE SIDE HAIRSTYLES

Looking for easy DIY side hairstyle ideas ? Soft and loose hairstyles are the ideal solution to have a lively and cheeky look in everyday life. An example? The soft side braid with locks left free on the front sported by the gorgeous Nina Dobrev ! If we have a long tuft or a fringe we can comb them with a very side parting on one side of the head to liven up the hairstyle. When time is short, let's take inspiration from Lucy Hale's hairstyle : comb the hair over one shoulder and secure the opposite section behind the neck with some bobby pins. We will be the most chic and admired in a few steps!

LATERAL SEMI COLLECTED COMB

Feminine, romantic and very simple to make, the side semi-gathered hairstyles are perfect to accompany sophisticated evening outfits but also particularly chic looks for the day. Do we have straight hair ? We divide the hair into two portions with a central or side line, fix one on the nape and bring the other to the side of the neck. In the pulled back section we can also make braids, as the actress Amy Adams suggests , and with a jeweled hair clip behind the head we can only be the most admired on every occasion!
