The words "side ponytail" might harken images of teenagers of the 1980s, but side ponytails aren't just a relic of the past. In fact, they can be worn in an elegant, demure manner, if you know style your hair. There are a variety of styles utilizing a low side ponytail that you can wear to any formal event.
Chignon
A chignon is a hairstyle that closely resembles the bun, or when the hair is pulled into a knot. You can make an elegant side ponytail chignon by brushing your hair out and then pulling it to one side or the other. Simply twist your hair into a knot and secure it in place with bobby pins. Or, take strands of hair and loop them around your fingers and then secure the loops with bobby pins to create the illusion of short curls.
Low Side Ponytail
If you have long hair, you can simply part your hair and gather it to one side or the other for a casual, yet elegant side ponytail hairstyle. This style looks particularly good if you have side-swept bangs, which you can brush over your forehead to create a bit more of a complex look. Straighten your hair with a straightening iron for a silky smooth finish.
Braided Side Ponytail
Part your hair to one side or the other (depending on which side your hair looks best parted) and then gather it in a rubber band. Braid your hair and secure it with a rubber band. Take a piece of hair and pull from the top of the rubber band and then wrap it around the rubber band to conceal it. Secure it with a bobby pin.
Curly Side Ponytail
Part your hair on the side your part looks best. Use a comb to tease your hair at the crown to add a bit of volume and then gather your hair to one side or the other and place it into the rubber band. Using a curling iron, curl one- to two-inch sections of your ponytail at a time for a full ponytail.
