Take a section of hair from behind one ear and braid it. Bring the braid up and over the top of your head like a headband, pinning it behind the other ear. Repeat on the other side if you want a thicker band. Use pins that match your hair color to hide them.
7. Bubble Ponytail
This style is so fun and looks way more complicated than it is! It’s basically a ponytail with sections puffed out to look like bubbles. It works best on medium to long hair.
Start with a regular ponytail. Then, add elastics every few inches down the length of the ponytail. Gently pull each section between the elastics to create the “bubble” effect. Try to keep the spacing even between the elastics for the best look.
6. Space Buns
Space buns are playful and keep your hair completely off your neck and shoulders. They’re perfect for a really hot day or if you plan on being active on the sand.
Part your hair down the middle and make two high ponytails. Twist each ponytail into a bun and secure with elastics and pins. Make sure the ponytails are at the same height for even buns. Add some glitter spray for a fun festival vibe!
5. Twisted Half-Up Buns
This combines the ease of a half-up style with the fun of buns. It’s trendy and keeps the top half of your hair neatly out of the way. It works well for medium to long hair.
Take the top half of your hair and divide it into two sections. Twist each section and then coil it into a small bun, securing with pins. You can leave the ends out for a messier look or tuck them in neatly for a cleaner finish.
4. Fishtail Braid
A fishtail braid looks intricate but it’s actually quite simple once you get the hang of it. It creates a beautiful texture that’s perfect for the beach. It works best on medium to long hair.
Divide your hair into two sections. Take a small strand from the outside of one section and cross it over to the inside of the other section. Repeat on the other side, alternating until you reach the end. Secure with an elastic. Gently pull on the sides of the braid to loosen it and make it look fuller.
3. Crown Braid
A crown braid wraps around your head like a halo. It’s elegant yet casual and keeps all your hair off your neck and shoulders. This style works well for medium to long hair.
Start a French braid near your temple, following your hairline all the way around your head. As you braid, keep adding small sections of hair. When you get back to where you started, tuck the end of the braid and pin it securely. Use plenty of bobby pins to keep it in place.
2. Braided Ponytail
Adding a braid to your ponytail gives it a little something extra. It makes a simple ponytail feel more styled. You can do a small braid and wrap it around the base or braid a section of the ponytail itself.
