First, leave both sides out and tie the middle.
Next, French braid the sides from the top.
Bring them together in the back and tie.
Then, like making a “bubble” (onion) ponytail, keep tying sections and threading the ribbon through the elastics as you go, wrapping it around—then you’re done! The vibe changes with the ribbon colors, so try different combinations.

Soft, fluffy bun hairstyle

When it comes to cute hairstyles you can keep even during a sweaty, active sports festival, the fluffy bun is a top choice.
It’s not only neat and hard to mess up, but it also gives a soft, gentle impression.
Divide the hanging sections of hair into two, and do a relaxed “topsy tail” (pull-through) while loosening them slightly.
Wrap the hair around, tuck the ends securely inside, then pin in place to finish.
By loosening the hair so the strands are visible, you can create a girly vibe.
Among bun hairstyles that are especially popular with men, this one is airy and adorable.
A hair arrangement with braided plaits (three-strand braid)

A braided-look hairstyle made using only hair ties and simple three-strand braids.
First, take a section of hair near the bangs and braid it.
Continue braiding toward the back of the neck.
Next, split the hair behind that section into two, and braid it together with the section you just braided.
Then, take the hair behind the ear and do the same—braiding it together with the lower section—repeating the process.
Do the same on the other side, and finally combine the two braids to finish.
It’s a cute sports day style that won’t get messy even with a hat on.
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.
tight ponytail
Introducing the tight ponytail that changes its vibe depending on where you tie your hair.
Make a ponytail and wrap a ribbon or string around it.
Tying your hair low gives a mature look, while tying it high creates a casual impression.
If you tie it tightly, it won’t come undone easily—perfect for sports day hair when you’ll be moving around or wearing a hat.
Choosing the color of the ribbon or string can be fun too.
Even if your hair is on the shorter side, as long as you can gather it into one ponytail, you can try this style—give it a go!
