Cute and eye-catching! Recommended ribbon braid hairstyles for sports day (11–20)
ribbon hair

A cute ribbon hairstyle you can do without hair accessories! First, apply wax or oil to make your hair easier to manage, then tie it with an elastic.
Next, take a surface layer from the tied section, secure it with another elastic a little away from the base, create a slit in the middle of that section, and flip the ends up through from bottom to top.
Then, bring the base and the knot closer together, and the section will split into two to form a neat ribbon shape! Use a styling stick (or similar tool) to thread the lower section up through the base, then tie the base again with an elastic to secure the ribbon firmly.
If you’re worried about it coming loose, use hidden pins to hold it in place.
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!
Ribbon-style braided twin tails
Here’s a ribbon-shaped braided twin style where the ribbon shape is the key point.
Divide the hair into two sections and tie them.
Take a small amount of hair from the surface.
Using a hairbrush is recommended.
After tying an elastic a little away from the roots, make a loop with the hair and do a topsy tail to tuck it in.
Align the topsy-tail elastic with the root elastic, then use a new elastic to secure from the roots.
Next, place an elastic diagonally, then place another elastic diagonally on the opposite side.
Insert a styling stick at the base of the tied elastic, take some surface hair, and thread it through with the styling stick.
Once it forms a ribbon shape, adjust the balance and you’re done!
Colorful three-strand braid

A sports day hairstyle that even people who aren’t good at styling can try.
If you have bangs, tie them together with the hair in the middle and do a topsy tail.
Split the hair in the back into two sections and tie them near the area behind your ears.
The key is to tie them low so it’s easy to wear a hat.
Next, tie a piece of colorful fabric of your choice around the hair elastics.
Then divide the hair and the fabric into three sections and braid them together.
Finish by securing everything with an elastic, and you’ll have a bold, stylish hairstyle that really stands out at sports day!
Girly hair that you just twist together with a ribbon
If you want to try a hairstyle with a princess-like vibe, this hair arrangement is highly recommended.
Simply twist your hair together with a ribbon secured to your head using a hair clip, and you’ll have a cute style in no time.
It’s feminine and gives a soft, gentle impression, so it’s sure to catch men’s attention as well.
If you have long hair, gathering it with soft curls is also adorable.
It’s a style that’s easy to keep in place, so you can participate in or cheer at events without worry.
If you want to draw the gaze of someone you’re interested in, definitely give it a try.
four-strand braid

For those with long hair who find it hard to keep braids balanced on both sides, how about trying a four-strand braid that combines regular (over) and reverse (under) three-strand braiding? It may seem complicated at first, but simply put: divide the hair into four sections; use the left three strands to do an over-braid, then on the next pass use the right three strands to do an under-braid, and keep alternating.
If you want to weave in a ribbon, divide the hair into three sections, add the ribbon as the fourth, and make a four-strand braid.
Tying the ribbon into a bow at the top before braiding makes it really cute.

one-side braid

A one-sided braid that looks very stylish and cute without using all your hair.
Choose whichever side you like, take a small section of hair from that side, and tie it.
Secure it loosely a little away from the roots, then do a topsy tail (pull-through).
Thread a ribbon through the hole created by the topsy tail, and use the ribbon and the surrounding hair to create a French braid and then a regular three-strand braid.
Once you’ve finished the braid, secure it with a hair elastic, then tie the remaining ribbon into a bow to cover the elastic—done! Because the braid can look like it’s lifting off the head, and there’s a risk it will move around during high-activity events like a sports festival, it’s recommended to pin it from the back with hairpins to keep it in place.
