Here’s my step-by-step tutorial for my viral ribbon knot braid. Try it out with me for a hairstyle that’s elegant and a little bit different.

Tools and materials:

  • Long, thin ribbon
  • 1 hair tie
  • 1 hair elastic
Sectioning hair

1. Grab 2 sections of hair with the ribbon

Grab 2 small sections of hair in the center and back of your head. Lay the ribbon across and make sure it’s evenly distributed until the end.


2. Anchor the ribbon to 1 side

Hold 1 side together while on the other side, loop the ribbon around the hair to anchor it in place.

Tighten by pulling each side.

3. Add hair and tie a knot

Now, grab equal amounts of hair on either side and add it to each of the 2 sections.

Continue adding hair to either side and tying a knot each time.

5. Make a loop bun

Once you reach the base of your neck, tie the remaining hair into a loop bun.


Make sure you leave a long tail underneath it.

6. Split the tail and tie the hair together

Split the tail into 2 sections and join them on top of the hair tie. Then tie them together with a hair elastic.
