18. Dutch Braids
Dutch braids are similar to French braids. But they really pop out more. This gives them a cooler, textured look. They offer the same great security too. I like to gently pull on the loops after braiding. This makes them look even fuller. It’s a fun way to mix things up.
17. Fishtail Braid
The fishtail braid looks so intricate and stylish. It’s perfect for those with longer hair. I’ve found that braiding it loosely gives a bohemian feel. If I need more security, I braid it tighter. It’s a beautiful way to keep long hair neat.
16. Bubble Braids
Bubble braids are playful and super fun. You just use multiple elastics to create “bubbles.” They are so easy to create. Taking them out is a breeze too. I usually go for clear elastics. They blend in perfectly with my hair. It’s a sweet, youthful look.
15. Space Buns
Space buns are youthful and totally secure. They keep all my hair up. My neck stays clear and cool. This style is perfect for hot waterpark days. Sometimes, I add glitter to them. Or I use colorful scrunchies. It makes them extra fun.
14. Braided Pigtails
Braided pigtails are simple and classic. They offer excellent security. They also prevent tangles wonderfully. This style works for all ages. I braid them all the way down to the ends. This keeps every strand contained. They are super practical.
13. Loose Side Braid
For a more relaxed day, I might choose a loose side braid. It has that lovely bohemian vibe. It’s not the most secure style. But it’s perfect if you just want a casual look. I always use a strong elastic. A few bobby pins help keep it in place.
12. Top Knot
The top knot is my go-to for speed and ease. It gets all my hair off my neck fast. It’s perfect when the weather is hot. I sometimes use a donut bun maker. This gives me a perfectly round bun. It’s quick, easy, and chic.
11. Scarf Headband
Adding a scarf headband is so stylish. It also keeps those pesky stray hairs back. I often combine it with another style. I always pick quick-drying fabric. It makes a big difference for comfort. It’s a fashionable and functional accessory.
10. Bandana Wrap
A bandana wrap offers sun protection for my scalp. It also keeps my hair neatly contained. It’s very versatile and fashionable. I usually fold it into a triangle first. This makes it much easier to wrap. It’s a great way to protect hair.
