16. Ombre Unicorn Bubble Braid
Achieve a beautiful color fade within your braid. Use temporary ombre hair color or carefully blend different shades. Start with a darker shade at the root and gradually lighten towards the ends of each bubble. Smooth blending is key here. A good color brush helps achieve this. It’s a stunning gradient effect.
17. Metallic Unicorn Bubble Braid
For ultimate festival glamour, add metallic elements. Weave in metallic hair tinsel or use metallic hairspray. Silver, gold, or iridescent strands catch the light brilliantly. Weave them into each section before securing the elastic. It adds that extra touch of magic. It’s truly eye-catching!
18. Braided Accent Unicorn Bubble Braid
Add smaller, decorative braids as accents. These can be woven into the sides or even placed strategically within the main bubble braid. Think tiny French braids or Dutch braids. They add a touch of intricate detail. Placement is key for maximum impact. It’s a subtle yet effective decorative touch.
19. Voluminous Unicorn Bubble Braid
Want bigger, puffier bubbles? You can achieve this by gently teasing the hair within each section before securing the elastic. A light mist of volumizing spray helps too. Backcombing gives maximum puffiness. It makes each bubble stand out dramatically. It’s all about that volume!
20. Messy Chic Unicorn Bubble Braid
Embrace the perfectly imperfect festival look. Gently pull out small pieces of hair from each bubble. This creates a more relaxed, “lived-in” vibe. It’s intentionally undone. A little bit of texturizing spray can enhance this messy feel. It looks effortlessly cool and totally festival-appropriate.
21. Dual Unicorn Bubble Braids
Why have one when you can have two? Create two separate unicorn bubble braids, one on each side of your head. This style offers a balanced and playful look. Make sure your sectioning is even for matching braids. It’s a super cute and symmetrical choice. It frames your face nicely too.
22. Low Unicorn Bubble Braid Ponytail
For a more sophisticated yet playful style, create a unicorn bubble braid that leads into a low ponytail. Gather your hair into a low ponytail first. Then, create the bubble braid down the length of the ponytail. Secure the final ponytail smoothly. It’s a chic twist on the classic.
