7. Textured Bubble Braid
Adding texture makes bubble braids even more interesting. I love a bit of grit. I use a texturizing spray before I start. Or, after I make the bubbles, I gently pull out small pieces. This creates a slightly undone, beachy vibe. It looks so effortless. For more texture, I might give my hair a quick curl beforehand. This adds body and movement.
6. Accessorized Bubble Braid
Accessories can totally transform a bubble braid. I love adding ribbons. You can tie them around each elastic. Or weave them into the braid itself. Clips also work wonders. Choose accessories that match your outfit. Or pick ones that add a pop of color. For a polished look, I coordinate my hair ties. It makes the whole style feel more intentional.
5. Messy Bubble Braid
Sometimes, perfectly imperfect is best. A messy bubble braid is so charming. It looks lived-in and cool. To get this look, I don’t aim for perfection. I deliberately pull out some strands. I make the bubbles a bit looser. A little teasing at the crown adds volume. It’s all about that relaxed, effortless vibe. It feels so stylish and casual.
4. Sleek Bubble Braid
For a super polished look, go sleek. This bubble braid is smooth and shiny. I start with very straight, smooth hair. Using a strong-hold gel helps a lot. I apply it evenly. Then I create the bubble braid. I make sure each section is tight. This gives a glass-like finish. It looks so sophisticated and clean.
3. Bubble Braid with Face-Framing Pieces
Leaving out face-framing pieces softens the look. It’s so flattering. I part my hair as usual. Then I create the bubble braid. I leave out two strands at the front. I like to curl these pieces. This adds a nice finishing touch. It frames your face beautifully. It makes the style feel more complete.
2. Braided Bubble Ponytail
This is a ponytail that’s a bubble braid all the way down. It’s striking. I create a ponytail. Then I make bubble sections all the way to the ends. It looks like one continuous braid. To make it look smooth, I use a boar bristle brush. I brush down as I create each bubble. This keeps everything sleek.
