Stand out at the school sports festival with a four-strand braid! Here’s a ribbon-woven four-strand braid hairstyle.
It holds its shape well, so give it a try.
First, make a ponytail.
Next, divide the ponytail into three sections and place the ribbon with the second section.
Braid by crossing the ribbon and the hair sections over and under, weaving them together.
Repeat this process to finish! The vibe changes with the ribbon’s color, so try different options!

Let’s try a standout hair arrangement for your sports day using ribbons you can get at the 100-yen shop! Here’s a ribbon-accented three-strand braid.
A three-strand braid makes it easy to wear a hat and helps keep your hairstyle in place, so give it a try.
Once you can do a basic braid, it’s simple to pull off.
It’s great for everyday wear too, so practicing is recommended! Wrap a ribbon in the same color around your hat to make it pop even more.
The vibe changes with the ribbon color, so use this as a reference!
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!
Heart Twin
Let me introduce a heart-twin hairstyle that creates the hearts girls love.
Divide the hair into left and right sections, braid each above the ears, temporarily secure them, and bring them together.
Split the combined section into upper and lower parts; divide the upper section into two, open them, take them to the back and hold.
Then split the section that came to the front into two and take it to the back as well.
Hold firmly so it doesn’t come apart, and tie as you go.
Once you’ve made it to your preferred length, secure with an elastic and gently loosen for volume.
Fix with a decorative elastic, then repeat the same steps along the hair length as needed.
Finally, tie slightly lower, do a reverse topsy-tail, separate the hair to form a heart shape, pin it in place, and you’re done.
With this stylish hairstyle, you might even feel extra motivated for sports day!
Tuck-and-twist & three-strand braid hairstyle

This is a super cute hairstyle that combines a topsy tail and braids! Take a small section of hair from behind the ear, tie it, and do a topsy tail.
Set that section aside, then create another tied section directly underneath and do another topsy tail the same way.
Once that’s done, thread a ribbon through the upper topsy tail, and braid together the ribbon and the two topsy-tail sections into a three-strand braid.
When you’re finished, tie it off near the start of the braid together with the remaining hair at the back.
Once you’ve made the same style on both sides, the shape is complete! Hide the hair tie with the ribbon, add extra ribbons if you like, and gently loosen the braid to adjust the texture.
You’ll definitely catch lots of attention at the sports festival!
kururinpa twin tails

This is a flip-through twin-tail hairstyle that works for both long and medium hair.
It’s a perfect match for a headband style, so if you find regular twin-tails boring, this is a must-try! Split your hair into two sections, take the hair above the ears, and loosely tie it with a thin elastic.
Next, flip the tied section through (a topsy tail).
To finish, gather the remaining hair together with it and tie.
The key is to tie it slightly higher behind the ears to create space for the headband to pass through.
Do the same on the other side and adjust the height on both sides, and you’re done! This style helps keep the headband from coming loose, so definitely try it when you want to bring your A-game to a sports day.
Topsy tail half-up

A half-up-style hair arrangement that works not only for long hair but also for shorter cuts.
It’s great because all you need is the simple “topsy-tail” twist.
First, apply hair wax or oil evenly through your hair, then split it down the middle.
Take a small section about 1–2 cm from the center and secure it tightly with an elastic.
Loosen it slightly, do a topsy-tail (flip it through), then tighten it firmly—that’s the key.
Repeat this four times on each side for a total of eight sections, and you’re done.
Of course, three on each side (six sections) also works.
It’s a chic yet secure style that stays put and feels fresh.
