5 Instagram-Inspired Bubble Ponytails

The Classic Bubble Ponytail

This image epitomizes what the bubble ponytail trend is all about. The look is created using four to six elastic bands to form perfectly round cascades of volume down the length of the pony tail. We love how this Instagrammer paid extra attention to wrapping a piece of hair around each of the elastic bands to make them disappear. So chic!

The Double Bubble Ponytail

Double the bubble, double the fun! Bubble ponytail details are a striking way to put a twist on classic pigtails. Precision is the key, so aim for mirror image bubble size and hair elastic placement across both pigtails.

The Messy Bubble Ponytail

A textured and slightly messy bubbly ponytail can be as impactful as a neat one. For a more bohemian interpretation of the trend, try gently tousling each of the bubbles to create a gorgeous texture. If you have thinner hair, this tousling technique is a great trick for making hair look more voluminous.

The Curly Bubble Ponytail

Put a modern spin on a retro '60s style by combining a tightly curled pony with bubble ponytail technique. For this baby doll-style, you'll need to create a couple of larger bubbles in a curled pony tail. Then, curl the ends of the pony under for a round and bouncy finish.

The Braided Bubble Ponytail

If a bubble ponytail and a trendy braid hooked up, this glorious creation would be their love child! To copy the style, create a thin braid starting from on the top of the head and along the way, add in the remaining hair and elastic bands so that the braid becomes incorporated into the bubbles.
