15. The French Braid
A classic for a reason! It keeps hair close to the scalp, making it very secure. Braid it firmly but not so tight it gives you a headache.
14. The Dutch Braid
Like a French braid but it pops out more. It offers similar security. Section your hair clearly before you start braiding.
13. The Side Braid
A super casual and easy option. It keeps hair off one side of your face, which is nice on a breezy day. Secure the end really well with a good elastic.
12. Braided Pigtails
Playful and super secure! This is excellent for keeping all your hair contained. Try to make your sections even for a balanced look.
11. The Twisted Crown
This uses twists instead of braids for an elegant updo. It’s great for keeping all your hair off your neck. Use plenty of bobby pins to make sure it stays.
10. The Space Buns
A youthful and fun style that screams summer. It keeps your hair securely up and out of the way. A little hairspray can help keep flyaways down.
9. The Braided Bun
Combine a braid with a bun for even more security. I like to braid the ponytail first, then wrap it into a bun. It adds a nice texture too.
8. The Half-Up Bun
Keeps some hair down for a relaxed feel but secures the top section. Make sure the bun part is really tight. It’s a good compromise style.
7. The Half-Up Braids
Secure the top section with one or two braids. This keeps hair out of your face without putting it all up. Braid them tightly so they don’t loosen.
6. The Headband Tuck
So simple and quick! Put on a stretchy headband, then tuck sections of hair under it. Use a non-slip headband so it doesn’t budge.
