In this tutorial, I’m going to show you how to take your bubble braids up a notch.


Get ready to move up a level with this gorgeous look that combines bubble braids with regular plaited braids.

Tools and materials:

  • Hair ties
  • Hair elastics 
  • Spray bottle
Dividing hair

1. Divide hair

Start by separating your hair down the middle, and then dividing each side into two, tying up the top part so that it’s out the way.

Ponytails

2. Tie ponytail

Tie the bottom section into three small ponytails.

Braiding

3. Braid each section

Proceed to braid each section, securing the bottoms with elastics.

Joining braids with top section

4. Join braids with top section

Let the top part of your hair down. Then bring the front braid up to the top of your head and join it with a section of hair at the top.


Tie the braid, together with the other section of hair, into a ponytail.

Joining the other braids

5. Join up other braids

Proceed to bring the other two braids up to the top of your head, joining them to the ponytail.


You will have the braids going up vertically from the sides and the ponytail coming down horizontally from the top.

Repeating process

6. Repeat

Repeat the same process on the other side of your head.

Spraying pigtails

7. Spray

I like to finish off by spraying my pigtails with water to give them some more moisture. Scrunch the water in.

Here is the finished look!


I like to call this bubble braids 2.0 as I love the combination of the braids on the sides with the regular bubble braids at the top.

You also have the option of tying or clipping the pigtails up which would look like this.
