The Edgy Side Braid on Audrina Patridge

The look that started it all -- the Alexander Wang side braid -- is a catwalk-ready twist on a beloved childhood style.

Style your bangs in front for this edgy look!

Devin's How To: First, dry damp hair with a blow dryer. Next, loosely pull the hair back, or French braid it back, to an asymmetrical ponytail on either side of the nape. Braid the ponytail tightly and secure with an elastic band at the end. Finish by applying holding hairspray to the braid and head. Lightly pull apart the braid making it larger, and massage scalp to make hair more tousled.
