The bubble braid hairstyle has returned to popularity, engaging the interest of youth who loves styling and hair stylists. This fun and attractive style has made a beautiful comeback. Bubble braids are simple and give youthful charm which make them a trend. Whether you’re new to this style or looking for fresh ideas, we’ll search and find out how to include this playful and stylish look into your hair-styling routine.
Types of Bubble Braids:
A variety of bubble braids exist. Certain products are more effective on long hair than others are on short hair. While some are dressier, others are more laid back. Let’s dissect them.
Common Bubble Braid: I’m going to demonstrate this bubble braid for you today. All you have to do is tie off pieces of hair and pull the hair out loosely to make “bubbles.” Both long and short hair can look good in this style.
Double Bubble Braid: Pigtail bubble braids, sometimes referred to as double bubble braids, are quite adorable and somewhat sporty. In essence, you draw your hair back into low pigtails, making bubbles in each one.
Ponytail Bubble Braid: One of my favorite ponytail bubble braids for my long hair was this one. Despite being so easy, I adore how amazing this hairstyle appears. Your hair should be pulled back into a sleek ponytail (a high pony or low pony would be fine), then you should tie off your hair in 2-3 inch sections all the way down the ponytail to form bubbles. After that, you extract the hair strands and blow bubbles between each section of hair.
French Braid Bubble Braid: One or two pigtail braids can be used to achieve this style. You french braid down the back of the head to the nape of the neck in order to achieve this look. You tie off the french braid at the base of your head and start making bubble braids the remaining distance down.
Bubble Braids Benefits:
Apart from being suitable for the majority of hair types, bubble braids also offer a variety of styling options, according to Branch. Pigtails, which may be worn at the side or back of the head, or a single bubble braid in the back with hair pulled through and under to create a playful dimension, are two of my favorite bubble braid looks.

How to Do Bubble Braids?
Creating bubble braids is comparatively simple and can be done with just some basic tools.
Here’s a simple guide to help you achieve this stylish look:
Tools You’ll Need:
- Hairbrush or comb
- Small elastic bands (preferably clear or matching your hair color)
- Hairspray or hair gel (optional for extra hold)
- Hair accessories (optional for added flair)
Steps to Create a Bubble Braid:
- Prepare Your Hair:
- Start with clean, dry hair.
- Brush through your hair to remove any tangles and smooth it out.
- Create the Base:
- Decide single bubble braids, double bubble braids, or another variation.
- Gather your hair into a ponytail. Secure it with an elastic band.
- Start Sectioning:
- A few inches below the first elastic band, add another elastic band around the ponytail or braid.
- Gently tug the hair between the two bands to create the first “bubble.” This will give the section a rounded, puffed appearance.
- Continue the Process:
- Move down a few inches from the second elastic band and add another band.
- Create the next bubble by gently pulling at the hair between the two bands.
- Repeat this process until you reach the end of your hair, spacing the elastic bands evenly.
- Finish and Adjust:
- After all the bubbles are done, smoothly pull on each bubble to make them fuller and even.
- Use hairspray or hair gel to smoothen any fly-aways.
- Optional:
- Add Accessories
- For a more decorative look, add accessories like ribbons, beads, or colorful elastics between the bubbles or at the base of the braid.
