14. Half-Up Half-Down
This is one of the most versatile styles I know! A half-up half-down look gives you the best of both worlds – some hair is down, but the front is pulled back and secure. It works beautifully for lots of different hair lengths and textures. You can make it your own by adding a cute decorative clip where you secure the top section.
13. Single Side Braid
Such a sweet and simple look! A single side braid is effortless and adds a touch of detail without much fuss. It’s great for keeping hair off one side of your face, which can be nice on windy days. For a softer, more relaxed feel, I like to gently loosen the braid after I’ve secured the end.
12. Braided Ponytail
Want to make a basic ponytail a little more interesting? Add a braid! You can do a simple three-strand braid at the top and then gather it into a ponytail, or braid a section of the ponytail itself. It’s a great way to keep your hair extra secure, especially if you’re involved in sports or activities. You can braid it tightly for a sleek finish or keep it loose for a more casual look.
11. Space Buns
Space buns are just pure fun! These two buns on either side of your head are perfect for a youthful and energetic vibe. They’re surprisingly easy to do and really show off your playful side. I think leaving a few strands loose around your face adds a nice touch and keeps it from looking too perfect.
10. Twisted Half-Up
If braiding feels like too much effort sometimes, a twisted half-up is your friend. Just grab two sections of hair from the front, twist them back, and secure them together. It adds a lovely detail to your hair in seconds. To make the twists really stand out, try twisting them tightly before you pin them.
9. Bubble Ponytail
This style is all over social media right now and it’s so easy to do! You just create sections down a regular ponytail using elastics. It adds such a fun, visual appeal to a simple ponytail. To get that perfect bubble effect, gently pull on the sides of each section to puff them out a bit.
8. French Braid
A classic for a reason! The French braid is great at keeping hair neatly contained and secure all day long. It’s perfect for school because it stays put through classes and activities. If you’re new to French braiding, just remember that practice really does make perfect when it comes to getting an even braid.
