Cute and eye-catching! Ribbon-braided hairstyle recommended for sports festivals

Graduated from Kunitachi College of Music, Faculty of Music (now: Department of Music Culture and Education, Early Childhood Music Education major). In elementary school, my homeroom teacher was Jun Kusaba, a game researcher. After graduating from university, I worked as a kindergarten teacher for 10 years and as an after-school childcare instructor for 7 years, then took a position as a music teacher at an international school in Singapore. In addition to music education, I engaged in activities that introduced Japanese culture, traditional games, and recreational activities, working with many children. Later, through freelance writing, planning, and editing at Shogakukan, I met many delightful adults and experienced the joy of communicating and sharing. Drawing on the perspective cultivated in the field of education and my experience as an editor, I provide practical information with an emphasis on both input and output, mainly in areas related to music and children. My hobbies include instruments, singing, handicrafts, toys, drawing, traditional games, the outdoors, and books. My special skill is spinning-top tricks.

A person from the melodic hardcore boom generation who loves music, photography, and eating. I’ve been going to live houses for over 20 years. I’m at the age where summer festivals are starting to feel tough physically. I sometimes try shooting live photos and videos for MVs. I’m not great at English, so I often listen to straightforward Japanese rock that hits directly, but if someone recommends something, I’ll listen to anything—Western or Japanese—broadly and casually. I like cooking while listening to music; it’s a nice way to relieve stress.

With the sports festival coming up, lots of people want to try a different hairstyle than usual! For a sports festival, styles that are easy to move in and don’t fall apart are recommended.

So here, we’ll introduce a style that weaves a ribbon into your hair.

Ribbons really stand out and boost the cuteness factor! There are even ideas for shaping your hair into a ribbon.

Keep in mind you might wear a hat or a headband, and have fun creating your own original hairstyle! Enjoy the sports festival with your favorite look!

Cute and eye-catching! Recommended ribbon-braided hairstyles for sports festivals (21–30)

Lace-up ponytail

Perfect for summer! A mass-produced-style ponytail ♡

Lace-up ponytail

This is a recommended hairstyle for anyone who wants to bring lots of energy to the sports festival.

Leave a little hair around your face and make a high ponytail with the rest.

Then use the face-framing hair to create two braids on each side.

Lace a ribbon through the two braids in a crisscross pattern, as if threading a shoelace.

Do the same on the other side.

You can tie the ribbon ends into a bow as they are, or wrap them around the ponytail—both work! If you wrap another ribbon around the ponytail as well, you’ll have a glamorous ribbon hair arrangement all set.

one-side braid

[Cute Even with Black Hair] A Complete Ribbon Braid Tutorial by an Active Harajuku Hairstylist — You’ll Definitely Be Able to Do It Yourself

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.

Fishbone

How to do a fishtail braid: braided fishtail. #kidsHairstyle #easyHairstyle #hairstyleVideo #hairstyle #kidsHair #fishtailBraid

Fishbone

Let me introduce the fishtail braid, a style with fine weaving that’s sure to stand out even at a school sports day.

As the name suggests, its appearance resembles a fish’s bone, so you might think it looks difficult or complicated.

But while a regular braid uses three sections of hair, a fishtail braid is made with just two.

You simply repeat a set sequence, so once you get the hang of it, it’s actually easy.

You can create different moods depending on how thick each section is and how loosely you braid.

If you make it low, it’s less likely to get messed up even when wearing a hat.

Tuck-and-twist & three-strand braid hairstyle

[Mass-Produced Style] Easy Ribbon Arrangements Even for the Clumsy — Perfect for Concerts and Events

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!

Ribbon braided twin-tails

Adding ribbons in your team color, like red or white, is super cute! Here are some ideas for twin braids with ribbons.

Regular braids are fine, but weaving in ribbons instantly elevates the style.

Even teachers or parents who aren’t confident with hair styling can give this a try with ease.

If your preschool doesn’t have team colors, using ribbons in the child’s favorite colors or materials can make it even more fun.

It’s a simple yet glamorous idea—be sure to give it a try!
