Step-By-Step Bubble Braids Tutorial

So, you will need some elastic hair bands and a fixation hairspray. You can choose any color of elastic bands — close to your own hair hue or any bright color you like. Your hair should be clean to make the hairstyle look neat. Ready to start? Let’s go!

Step 1. First, brush your hair, starting from the ends and gradually moving up to the roots — in order to not damage the hair and to avoid tangles. Part your hair in the center, although the part may be different, depending on your taste.

Step 2. Take two small, front bunches of hair at the left, twist them sideways toward the face, gradually adding in more hair.

Step 3. Continue until you get to the end of the bunch.

Step 4. As a result, you should end up with this nice braid.

Step 5. Fasten the braid with a hairband. Remember that the elastic band should be strong enough to hold the twisted braid.

Step 6. Brush the hair again then fasten it with another hair band just below. Now, you have to make a bun and put forward the rest of the ponytail in your own direction. Adjust the elastic bands and draw out a small portion of hair in a ready-made bun.

Step 7. Continue the process. It’s up to you when to stop. Everything depends on your personal preferences and, of course, on your hair length.

Step 8. Follow the same steps on another part.

Step 9. As a result, you should get this beautiful and cute hairstyle. Affix it with a hairspray to prolong its “life”.

Step 10. That’s it! Here is the finished look. Hope you like it!
