While the core concept of bubble braids is delightfully simple, (think strategically placed hair elastics or as we refer to it locally, rubber bands). The possibilities for personalisation are as endless as your imagination.
The classic bubble braid
The OG of the bubble bunch features a single braid with evenly spaced puffs throughout its length. Perfect for a sporty vibe or a casual day out, it adds a touch of playfulness without being overly complicated.
The half-up bubble braid
Feeling a bit indecisive? Why choose between braids and loose waves when you can have both? This style incorporates a bubble braid on one side of the head, leaving the rest of your hair free and flowing. Ideal for those who want a touch of braiding fun without the full commitment.
