To get this style, you are going to need very long, very straight hair. If your hair is not naturally straight, be sure to get it straightened or else this is going to be rough going indeed! From there, brush your hair until smooth and shiny and put it up in a high point tail slightly off to the side.

Twist your hair gently until it begins to gather upwards onto itself. Take your twisted pony tail and slowly wrap it around the base of your pony tail until you get a bun. From there simply tuck the tip of your pony tail into the center of the bun and secure it with a bobby pin and some hairspray and your bun is ready!

Now, to get the exact same side bun as Ashanti, you are going to need just a couple more little things. Your bangs should be cut at an extreme angle, very long at the end, and sprayed securely in place swept to the side and partially tucked behind your ear to prevent it getting in your eyes. Add in some earrings to set off your face and you will have the perfect Ashanti side bun!
