braided bangs

A braided bang style that can dramatically change your look without tying up all your hair! Section off the area you want to braid and work in some styling product.
Divide the hair at your starting point into three strands and make one regular braid.
Next, do a one-sided French braid in the direction you want to take the braid, adding small sections of hair as you go.
Gently loosen the braid for texture, then secure it with an elastic or pins.
If any short pieces stick out, tuck them in with U-pins, and you’ll have a fringe arrangement that neatly frames your face.
Basic ribbon braiding

This is a style where you add ribbon to the most basic French braid.
Part your hair down the center, take the top center section, and start a three-strand braid; with each step down, add hair from both sides—just the standard French braid—then simply incorporate a ribbon.
If you already do French braids regularly, it should be easy to try.
Key points: start weaving the ribbon in from the very top, and keep the ribbon in front as you braid so it doesn’t slip behind the hair section.
If you have long hair, you can braid partway and twist it into a bun; even those with medium-length hair can give it a go!
curly ponytail

Style your ponytail with soft curls to show off a chic, cute vibe at big events like sports days! Even if you have a lot of hair, you can create a tall, polished ponytail by dividing your hair into two sections, tying each, and then combining them.
If you want even more height, tie another elastic just above the first one—this lets the top of the pony peek out from the front for an extra-cute finish, so give it a try! To finish, take small sections of the ponytail and curl them with a hair iron.
Perfect for anyone who finds a regular ponytail a little too plain.
Braided-look hair with just tying

Because it’s securely held with elastic bands, this easy hairstyle is perfect for energetic sports days.
First, work hair wax or similar product through the entire hair, then divide the back into two sections and clip them.
Take a small section from the top, tie it with an elastic, then tie another section slightly lower.
Next, split the hair below the upper elastic in two, wrap those halves around the ends of the lower section, and secure.
Finally, gather the remaining hair together with an elastic to finish.
Loosen the braid to your liking to add a stylish touch.
braided down hairstyle

This is a braided, pulled-down hairstyle that makes your face line look sleek.
When you sweat during sports, it’s uncomfortable when hair sticks to your face, right? This style is great for those times too, and it still keeps a feminine touch.
First, take a V-shaped section from the top of your head and make a three-strand braid.
Next, gather hair from the sides by scooping upward from underneath and braid it in sequence.
A tightly woven braid looks lovely, but gently loosening the braid gives it a more relaxed vibe.
It also pairs perfectly with a headband, so give it a try.
Stylish braided down-do

A loosely done braid-down style that gives off a chic, fashion-forward vibe! This hair arrangement is recommended for those with longer base hair.
Gather the hair at the back into a half-up and secure it with an elastic.
Bring the side sections over to hide the knot, twist them, and pin in place.
From the hair underneath, take a moderate section and do a topsy tail.
Braid the remaining hair into a three-strand braid and tie with an elastic; wrap a small section of hair around the elastic to hide it, and your stylish braid-down is complete! To keep it from falling apart, finish with a firm-hold hairspray.
Fishbone

One hairstyle whose weave looks like a fish’s bones is the fishtail braid.
It may seem difficult, but once you get the hang of it, it’s surprisingly easy! Try adapting this popular braided style for a sports day and become the center of attention.
First, split your hair into two sections.
Take a small piece from the outside of the right section and bring it to the middle, then take a small piece from the outside of the left section and bring it to the middle.
Keep repeating this, gradually working your way down as you braid.
To finish, gently pull out the stitches a little to loosen them—the relaxed look is super cute! Give it a try.
