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.
This tag implicates braid (learn more).
