word usage - Your ponytail is off to one side


Someone was trying to make a ponytail. So by mistake that person made it off to one side,(off-center i.e. not in the middle of the head) ,will it be natural to say:




I did my ponytail a little bit on the side.(the person who made it, said that)


Your ponytail is on the side a bit. (The other person comments on it).



Or should it be:



I: "I did my ponytail a little bit off to one side."


The other person: "Your ponytail is a little bit off to one side".



????




Answer



If it was intentional, I would expect "I did a side-ponytail," or "I did my ponytail to one side."


If it was a mistake, I would expect "Your ponytail is off-center," or "Your ponytail is a little crooked."
