Hey everyone!

Today I have a super easy hairstyle, which requires absolutely no braiding skills!  This hairstyle is perfect for beginners, and also great if you have curly hair which is hard to braid normally.

If you have really fine, straight hair, I would recommend adding some curls before you braid to give the hairstyles some texture and volume. We have some great no-heat and wand curl tutorials which you can check out here.

Also, is it just me, or is this braid giving you Jasmine vibes from Aladdin, too? 😀

Items needed: a few rubber hair elastics, and a topsy tail tool

Skill Level: Easy

Time: 3-5 minutes

Step-by-step instructions:

1.) Begin with your hair down and parted deeply to one side.

2.) Next, gather all your hair over your shoulder (on the heavy side of your part), and secure at the base of your next with a rubber elastic.

3.) Now using the topsy-tail trick (see this post for detailed explanation) wrap some hair from your ponytail around the elastic.

4.) Then going down the ponytail about an inch or so, secure with another elastic.

5.) Repeat the same hair wrapping technique from step 3, and make sure to gently tug on the section to fluff it out a bit and create that bubble look.

6.) Keep repeating step 4 until you reach the ends of your hair..

Annd you’re done! It’s really that simple! (:
