A type of [[braid]] worn such that it hangs to the side of the face. If the hair is loose, it may be a [[side ponytail]] instead; when long enough, it can become [[hair over shoulder]]. A good example is [[Kirisame Marisa]] from [[Touhou]].

For braids on both sides, use [[side braids]] instead.

Side braids should not be tagged [[braided ponytail]], which starts from the back of the head.
