What is a Bubble Ponytail?
A bubble ponytail is a funky and versatile hairstyle where different sections are tied to make “bubbles”. Start by making a high, mid, or low ponytail, with rubber bands below the base of the ponytail, and pulling on the sides of the hair for that bubble effect. Finally tug on the sections of hair between the ties to adjust the bubbles and your bubble ponytail is done. It is easy and doable.
How to do a Bubble Ponytail?
Making a bubble ponytail is fashionable. To get this look, follow these simple steps:
1. Begin with clean, brushed hair free of tangles and smooth.
2. Make Hair into a High Ponytail:
- Make a ponytail and adjust the height according to your preference.
3. Create the first bubble:
- Take a small section of hair just below the hair tie.
- Use another hair tie to secure this section a few inches down, creating a “bubble” effect.
- Gently pull the sides to make the bubble look larger and rounder.
4. Repeat for additional bubbles:
- Create more bubbles by taking small sections of hair below each previous tie and securing them with a new hair tie.
- Gently pull the sides of each bubble to make them even and rounded.
5. Finish and Secure:
- Adjust each bubble to your liking by gently tugging on the sides.
Bubble Ponytail Types and Hairstyles:
Hairstyles with bubble ponytails are distinctive and may be tailored in various ways to fit your style and events. Here are some popular types:
- Double Bubble Ponytail: Make two distinct bubble ponytails and stack them on top of one another to achieve a voluminous and creative style.
- Side Bubble Ponytail: Tie your hair to one side and create bubbles down the length of the ponytail.
- Half-Up Bubble Ponytail: Gather the top half of your hair into a bubble ponytail while leaving the bottom half loose or styled differently.
- Messy Bubble Ponytail: Make bubbles with slightly tousled or textured hair for a more relaxed and casual look.
- Braided Bubble Ponytail: Make braids into your bubble ponytail for added detail and texture. You can braid sections of hair before creating each bubble or incorporate a braid into the ponytail itself.
- High Bubble Ponytail: Make a high ponytail and add bubbles over the length.
- Low Bubble Ponytail: Make bubbles starting from a lower point on the head, closer to the nape of the neck, for a chic and elegant variation.
- Colorful Bubble Ponytail: Use colorful hair ties or ribbons to create bubbles, adding a pop of color.
- Accessorized Bubble Ponytail: Add hair accessories like pins, clips, or hair jewels to enhance the bubbles and personalize your look.
Bubble Ponytail on Different Hair Colors:
The bubble ponytail looks great with different hair colors, each creating a unique effect. Here’s a guide on how the bubble ponytail can enhance various hair colors:
1. Blonde Hair: Many tones in blonde hair can make a stunning contrast within each bubble. Use a clear band to blend seamlessly with your hair color, and a light-reflecting serum for added shine.
2. Brunette Hair: Darker hair colors can create the bubble ponytail look sleek and sophisticated. Use a dark band to match your hair color and a bit of shine spray to enhance the richness of the color.
3. Red Hair: The vividness of red hair can make the bubbles stand out beautifully. Use matching elastics or clear ones to keep the focus on your vibrant color, and a shine serum to maintain the brilliance of the red tones.
4. Black Hair: The deep, dark color of black hair can make the bubble ponytail look very polished. Use black or dark elastics and a smoothing serum to keep the hair sleek and shiny.
5. Multi-colored or Highlighted Hair: Multiple colors or highlights can create a dynamic look, with each bubble showing off different shades. Use clear elastics to avoid distracting from the various colors and tease each section slightly before creating the bubbles for added volume and to better show off the colors.
