When we think of trendy hairstyles from the 1990s and 2000s, bubble braids immediately come to mind. The nostalgic look, which features a ponytail sectioned off by elastic bands, is a pretty and playful style that's easy to achieve.
"Slick-back hairstyles, especially ponytails, have become a staple in the past few years for people looking for chic ways to style second (or third or fourth) day hair, and the bubble pony gives people an extra fun way to create a memorable look with your hair that still keeps it off your face," celebrity stylist, Nai'vasha says. "All you need is a little texture spray and some hair ties to turn an otherwise blah look into something unique."
