The bunny-ears × bun-and-braid style that shines at sports festivals is a cute yet active look.

It creates a lively hairstyle by combining buns and braids.

Make a loop with the headband, place it over your head from front to back, tie it once in a bow above your forehead, then tie it once more underneath; the two knots will stand up like rabbit ears.

The impression changes a lot depending on the color, so choosing your team color is a key point.

It stays securely in place even during events, so it won’t shift easily when you run, and it looks great in photos.

It’s a versatile arrangement that helps you stand out while keeping you mobile, making it useful in many situations.

Twisted headband × Loosened odango (messy double buns)

The twisted headband × messy bun is a popular style that’s a hit with everyone, regardless of gender! The vibe of a twisted headband changes with its width, but using a narrower band creates a more mature look.

Twist the headband tightly and wrap it snugly around your head for a sharp, clean impression.

Pair it with a messy bun and pin the headband diagonally with hairpins to finish a lively, stylish hairstyle.

We recommend setting the messy bun slightly higher.

side ribbon

Side ribbons are a versatile style that go well with any hairstyle and can be enjoyed regardless of hair length.

Place the headband to the side and tie it into a bow.

You can easily change the overall vibe by adjusting the headband’s size and color.

A wider ribbon becomes a standout accent, while a narrower ribbon gives a subtle, stylish look.

Both are super cute, so it’s great to choose based on your mood or the atmosphere you want.

You can also switch up where you tie it to match your hairstyle for an equally chic finish.

If you tie a twisted headband like a flower, it becomes a splendid hair accessory! Start by shaping the twisted rod into a T-shape.

Proceed carefully so the order of layering and threading the cords doesn’t get mixed up.

Finally, pull the cords taut so the five loops spread out evenly.

Tighten the central knot firmly to finish.

By flaring the tips of the petals outward, you’ll create a three-dimensional flower knot.

Pair it with a glamorous hairstyle, and you’re sure to turn heads!

It’s also easy to wear a hat and the style won’t fall apart, so give it a try.

You’ll need to practice braiding, but if you have a thin ribbon, you can create a cute look with minimal effort.

Master braiding and give it a shot! The vibe changes depending on the ribbon color, so it’s fun to look for your favorite one.

Of course, it’s also great for long hair.

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!

The tying method is simple and easy, but the key is the step where you twist the hair tie—so pay attention to that detail as you try it!
