Kururinpa half twin

Let’s try making half twin tails by arranging the simple yet polished-looking “kururinpa” (topsy tail) technique! Take about half of the hair on one side and tie it with a hair elastic.
Then simply do a topsy tail with the tied section.
Repeat the topsy tail on the other side as well.
Since it neatly gathers the hair at the sides, it’s a perfect hairstyle for sports festivals or athletic events.
Even those with bob-length hair who can’t fully tie their hair can try this style, so give it a go.
Add a headband, and it’s sure to look extra cute!
Firm bun

When you’re playing sports, keeping your hairstyle in place is a key point, right? Here’s a bun style that’s secure yet still cute.
First, apply hair oil thoroughly throughout your hair and make a ponytail.
Split the ponytail into two sections; twist one section counterclockwise and wrap it around the base.
Next, combine it with the other section and continue twisting as you wrap it around.
Because it’s wrapped in two layers, it’s less likely to come undone, letting you stay cute even while playing sports! Leaving some hair at the sides boosts the cuteness even more.
Twisty ponytail

A twisty ponytail that’s a slightly more elaborate take on the bubble pony.
For a bubble pony, you tie the hair at equal intervals with small elastics and pull out the sections to create rounded “bubbles.” For this twisty pony, you twist the hair in several segments, make a rope braid, then secure each section with a small elastic.
Wrap a small strand of hair around each elastic to hide it, and repeat.
The twisting adds movement and gives it a relaxed vibe.
It’s simple yet looks polished and gives the impression of a more intricate style, which is a nice bonus.
Braid the headband into three strands.

This is a unique hairstyle that braids the headband right into your hair! It’s especially recommended for those with long hair and looks super cute.
Part your hair into two sections and put on the headband so that both sides are the same length.
Secure the headband with a clip, then braid each side as if the headband were one of the three strands.
Do the same on the other side, and you’re done! To keep the headband from slipping, it’s also good to pin it in place with a few overlapping bobby pins.
Since you won’t have to readjust a slipping headband, you can stay focused during sports days and athletic festivals—another nice bonus.

Loose and fluffy twin tails

If regular twin tails aren’t enough and you want to stand out at the sports day, how about trying soft, fluffy twin tails? You can make them using just the topsy tail technique, so they look elaborate but are super easy! First, split your hair down the middle.
Take a small section from the top on one side, tie it with an elastic, and do a topsy tail (flip through).
Next, take a small section just below it, tie with an elastic, and topsy tail again.
Repeat the same from the third section on, adjusting the number of topsy tails according to your hair length.
The trick is to keep each topsy tail on the tighter side.
Do the same on the other side and you’re done! It’s a hairstyle that stays put even during exercise and still makes an impact even with a headband wrapped around.
Gibson tuck style

This hairstyle is a sporty twist on the elegant Gibson tuck—perfect for school sports festivals and athletic events! It’s recommended for anyone who wants to enjoy the event with a look that’s a little different from everyone else.
First, leave a bit of hair at both sides and create a half-up.
Do a topsy tail with the gathered section.
Next, take a small section from one side and twist it backward along the contour of your face.
The key is to keep adding the remaining hair into the twisted section as you go.
Once you’ve twisted to the center, secure it with a pin under the half-up knot.
Repeat on the other side.
Finally, twist the remaining hair, wrap it around, and secure with U-pins—and you’re done! By pinning everything in place, you won’t have to worry about it coming undone, so you can enjoy the event to the fullest.
twin bun hairstyle

A solid ribbon-braided style for long hair: first do ribbon braids, then shape them into twin buns.
To create the braided sections, split the hair into left and right, then further divide each side into front (in front of the ear) and back sections to make four ribbon braids.
For a soft, airy look, curl the hair before braiding, and after braiding, gently pull out and loosen the strands a bit.
Once you have the four braids, make regular three-strand braids on each side, coil them up, and form buns.
It’s a standout hairstyle, so weaving in ribbons in your team colors is a great touch!
