Bubble Braid with Bling

When it comes to creating hairstyles, I’m a big believer in using hair accessories whenever you can. They elevate a simple and basic hairstyle so much and really just make it pop. I’m obsessed with using a Hair Blinger on Victoria because it’s a simple hair tool, but it adds such a fun layer of extra special sauce to a hairstyle!

I also love creating bubble braids in Victoria’s hair because they’re easy to do (I, promise!) and really just always look so pretty and work for any occasion whether it’s a school day, on the field or even just for a special occasion! It’s a hairstyle that just always works and I love that about it.

Step-by-step Hair Tutorial:

  1. Start by creating a top section and use a hair elastic.
  2. I prefer to use hair oil or hairstyling cream when I’m creating these hairstyles because it keeps the hair smooth.
  3. Bring in another section of hair directly underneath that one and add a hair elastic.
  4. Gather all of the hair at the back of the neck and add a hair elastic.
  5. Create as many bubble braids down the tail of the ponytail that you can.
  6. Go back and gently pull on each section to create your little bubble. Don’t rush this step!
  7. Then add your hair bling with your Hair Blinger!

As you can see, it’s just about the cutest and prettiest hairstyle ever! I love how it looks when it’s done!

Hair Products To Use on this Hairstyle

Here are the hair products that I used for this particular hairstyle.

HAIR ELASTICS

These are the Teenitor hair elastics I’ve been using lately. I was recommended to use them and couldn’t wait to give them a try. Victoria’s hair is on the thicker side, so I need to make sure I have hair elastics that will hold the hair and be extra durable. I also want to make sure the hair elastics won’t damage or crease the hair.

best hair elastics

  • Strong and stretchy: The elastics are not so thin that they break when you try to stretch, but they are not so thick that you can’t stretch them properly. They have stayed in very fine, soft hair through days of gardening. Also, they slide off the braids when grabbed and pull off clean. No rolling and catching the hair to make knots.
  • Great deal: This is a great deal on 2000 pieces clear rubber elastic hair bands, enough for braiding different hairstyles. You can keep a couple dozen in your purse, another couple dozen in your gym bag, some in your car…you get the idea. Any time you realize you need a hair tie, you’ll have a stash.

The best part is that you get 2000 for under $7!

HAIR STYLING CREAM

It’s the one question I get asked the most lately, and I love it. It’s important to make sure you prep the hair before you create a hairstyle. I love to use hair styling cream because I know it will help to keep the hair smooth and shiny.

I prefer using Dae Hair Styling Cream.
