12. Double Dutch Braids
These are fantastic for active events. Double Dutch braids keep all your hair off your face and neck. They are super secure. For a cleaner look, make sure to keep your tension even. Try a light styling cream along the hairline. This helps define each braid beautifully.
11. French Braids with a Twist
French braids are both stylish and functional. They keep hair contained perfectly. For a unique touch, add thin ribbons in your team’s colors. You can weave these into the braids. A subtle braid along your hairline also looks great. Beginners can practice on a friend first.
10. Bubble Braids for Fun Vibes
Bubble braids look so playful and fun! They are also surprisingly secure. You create them by tying sections of hair with elastics. Then you gently pull each section to create a “bubble.” Small elastics work best for a neater appearance. It’s an easy way to look chic and stay active.
9. Messy Bun with Braided Accents
A messy bun is comfy. But you can make it game day ready. Add small braids into the bun itself. This adds detail. It also helps keep stray strands in place. Twist and pin your hair securely. Bobby pins are your best friend here for maximum hold.
8. Low Braided Bun
For a touch of elegance, try a low braided bun. Braiding your hair before twisting it into a bun adds amazing hold. It keeps everything contained and looks so polished. Position the bun comfortably at the nape of your neck. This prevents any discomfort when you lean back.
7. Half-Up, Half-Down with Braids
This style is so versatile. It keeps hair off your face. Yet, you still get to show off your length. Add small braids to the top section. This boosts security. To keep the bottom section from being a distraction, try a light texturizing spray. It gives it a bit more grip.
