If you’re wondering how to style your hair for a pre-wedding party, bubble braids are a great option option. They look elegant and unique as well as trendy, and they’re super easy to make yourself. They’re great for any type of party, actually, adding a modern touch to your outfit. Here’s what they look like and how you can style them at home.

What Are Bubble Braids?

The best thing about bubble braids is that they aren’t actual braids, so they don’t require special braiding techniques. They are just loosened ponytails divided by hair ties. What makes them popular among brides is their more casual and effortless look. They are also a modern twist on classic bridal braids.

Apart from adding a unique touch to their looks, bubble braids provide brides with comfort. They make your face stand out and don’t require any touch-ups. These braids look like they need a lot of effort, but actually, they are super quick and perfect for parties. In addition, they work well on all hair types, and you can match your hair ties to your outfit.

How to Do the Braids

Bubble braids are easy to recreate at home. Before creating the bubble braids look, you need to add texture and volume to your hair. This is where sea salt sprays come in handy. Spray the hair and roughly curl it to get that volumous look. You can also style your hair to have a middle part, a side part, or no part at all.

The next step is to create a slick ponytail at the desired height. Remember that the ponytail doesn’t have to be super high, as these braids look good with lower ponytails, too. If you want two braids, that’s also possible; just create two ponytails. As you create the ponytail, you might want to add a bit of wax for more definition. You can always opt for hair extensions if your hair isn’t long enough.

Finishing the Look

When it comes to the hair ties, you want to go for small, clear, tight elastics to ensure your braid stays in place. Place them at even intervals, depending on the length of your hair.

To create the “bubbles,” take the hair in each section and lightly loosen it. Make sure you don’t pull too much, as this can make the bubbles uneven. Secure everything in place with some hair spray, and you’re all set for your special event.
