What you’ll need: Four (or more) clear, plastic elastics. I mean, I was going for this … and maybe fell a little short. Got thick hair with lots of texture? Then you’ll rock this style better than I did, but it’s a great way to make your hair look really, really long. Wrap a section of hair from the ponytail around any ends sticking out to group it in with the ponytail, hide your elastic, and make it look more polished.
Step 3: Pull the braid back to your ponytail and fasten with a barrette or two bobby pins. This is an easy way to pull bangs that are growing out away from your face! Braid all the way to the end. Put the majority of your hair in a ponytail. Step 1: Create a deep side part and separate the hair from that part and a couple inches back from the rest of your hair. What you’ll need: One small clear elastic, one regular elastic, two bobby pins or a barrette. This style is awesome for hair of various lengths and textures - and it really only takes a moment!
It’s not hard, I promise - just takes some practice! None of these styles took me more than 5-10 minutes total, and I’m definitely no pro.)
French bubble braids how to#
So, with that in mind, here are three ways to rock a braid that’ll work for work, a workout, or just going out! (Keep in mind, these all require you knowing how to French braid your own hair. They’re super functional, but also look really special! In fact, I did the double braid style below (after seeing Jess from The Fit Petite rocking the look at Camp Brooks) the day before working from my local coffee shop, and I had people coming up to me to ask about it all morning! My hair is longer than it’s been in years, and between that and the added texture, if I run with it just in a pony? GOOD LUCK getting a brush through it afterward. The other thing I’ve learned recently is that braids aren’t just for show. Kristen’s Tips for Workout Hairstyles and Race Day Braids And since I don’t walk out the door with wet hair (or braids) every day - and I know many of you don’t, either - I also grabbed a few tips for looking fab in a jiffy from Herbal Essences’ celeb stylist Charles Baker Strahan. I really enjoy playing around with hair so below, you’ll find a few tips from me on how to rock some sweet braids. Smells great, my hair feels soft and smooth … total win. I’ve been using their Coconut Milk Collection shampoo and conditioner ( $5.99 each), and it’s been awesome. I’ve used Herbal Essences for ages, and when they reached out to say that they were launching nine new collections (using a technology called bio:renew), I believe I (virtually) elbowed Jenn out of the way so I’d get a chance to try it out. This is a game changer for me, and it’s not like I’m relying on fancy salon products to make it happen.
I’ve also found that, when I have a good cut and use products that are really hydrating, I can - for the first time in my life - embrace the texture in my hair and do the ol’ wash and go. You wear your hair every single day, and when it’s cut in a way that makes styling easy, getting ready each day takes way less effort. One of the best tips I ever read was that a good haircut (and color, if you’re like me and haven’t rocked your natural shade in … a while) is the best beauty investment you can make.
I just love learning about what different people do with their hair or makeup - seeing what works for them, what they spend time and money on, and where they’ve found shortcuts is absolutely fascinating.
