While the core concept of bubble braids is delightfully simple, (think strategically placed hair elastics or as we refer to it locally, rubber bands).  The possibilities for personalisation are as endless as your imagination.

The classic bubble braid

The OG of the bubble bunch features a single braid with evenly spaced puffs throughout its length. Perfect for a sporty vibe or a casual day out, it adds a touch of playfulness without being overly complicated.

Feeling a bit indecisive? Why choose between braids and loose waves when you can have both? This style incorporates a bubble braid on one side of the head, leaving the rest of your hair free and flowing. Ideal for those who want a touch of braiding fun without the full commitment.

The bubble ponytail

Think of it as a ponytail on steroids but in the best way possible. Here, the hair is secured in a high or low ponytail with elastics placed at intervals to create those delightful bubble formations. Bonus points for incorporating colourful elastics or ribbons for an extra pop of colour.

The double bubble braid

Feeling adventurous? Channel your inner Leia Organa with a pair of bubble braids flanking your head. This iconic style adds a touch of playful rebellion to any look making it perfect for a night out or a day channelling your inner galactic princess.
