THE NEW LOOK!!! [EASY] BUBBLE BRAIDS

[@annetanoh3891]

This hairstyle was really popular in my country (Ivory Coast) when I was in primary school. We call it "tôfi-tôfi" after a candy that has the same shape

[@vividesiles3763]

Same when I was a kid in Guadeloupe ! It's so cute

[@OrganicAlumination]

That is so beautiful 💖💖💖

[@aureliayapo-aka7187]

It's still popular in Ivory Coast. The result is beautiful.

[@luluuu02]

Hey! I’m so Ivory Coast too! I remember wearing it the entirety of my kindergarten years 😂

[@MissMcD]

Ooooh I love a good "fun fact". Thanks for sharing

[@I_am_Musiq94]

This is how I imagine a black Ariel’s hair would look like lol. It’s cute!

[@krompus8180]

The idea about two small braids at the front and huge one made from the rest of the hair gave me instant Sailor Moon Amazon Quartet vibes. Especially Besu Besu vibes. You should do it! 😆👍

[@makeda6530]

I was thinking something similar, it instantly made me think extra anime fantasy hair!

[@krompus8180]

@@makeda6530 Yeah! I don't know if she is in to anime and stuff like that, but it could be fun series. Recreating different extra anime hairstyles or something like that?

[@samanthajade3782]

Yes that's the season with Rini (ChibiUsa) right? I honestly think that one is my favorite season of Sailor Moon.

[@cfoster6804]

Wow, you are a TRUE fan.😂

[@michelleroberson6036]

Imma try this

[@VixVixxen]

This would be really cute for a hair photo shoot 😊

[@DebZava]

I think this was my favorite hairstyle from you since I subscribed!!! It looks extremely cute! Just my style. I loved it! Everything about it, the bubbles braids, the beads at the ends, the shells in a few bubbles. It looks amazing Viv! Could totally see this style in a bride doing a beach wedding. Honestly, you opened a new dream for hairstyle in me. I'm mesmerized!

[@The_Salty_Siren]

Same - I absolutely adore it!

[@mari0n333]

I love how you show all the thought processes you go through to arrive at the final style! It's very fun to watch :D

[@rachelmm05]

Lol yea it's an entire production/rabbit hole of ideas that she goes through to get her final look😁🙂. I often did the same thing went back and forth over a style idea until I finally got the style I liked. That part got on my nerves but I generally like the final results

[@HappyIsAGoodThing]

I think this is my favourite hair style I've seen you do. I love it so much! Also I kinda wish this was the hair style the new Little Mermaid had bcause it has such ocean mermaid vibes and that red colour is gorgeous!

[@JodyJody]

I was saying the exact same thing

[@ellen2805]

I was just thinking this, especially with the shells. Imagine all the found objects Ariel would use in her hair?

[@AlexQ]

I freaking love this style , it looks like top model meets chic urban . ❤

[@cafsurfine]

That style looks so good on you! You look fantastic

[@louisejohnson6057]

I would have loved to have seen your hubby's reaction! He must have been both amazed, and impressed. Every delightful new hairstyle deserves a night out in public, giving others the opportunity to see some kick-ass hair!

[@hatorigirl1202]

It looks amazing. It would be awesome to kinda do like a mermaid mismatched vibe with some plaits, some bubble braids, and some twists.

[@karenramosbyran7312]

Loving the shade of red

[@chavons8537]

My Grandmother used to love asking my Mom to put my hair in two pony tails on each side with these bubble braids. I used to hate it because I thought it made me look like a doll. I love seeing these now as an adult!

[@angelanice]

It's giving little mermaid vibes, especially with the sea shells 😍

[@Windthroughcedars]

Viv’s videos always relax the heck out of me!

[@deborahpaul719]

I go to a lot of music festival and I think I’m going to try this style out the next time I go. Looks really good.

[@kaulitzxtrumper]

The thumbnail was enough to convince me how cool it looks, but the thinking process made it even cooler! this looks incredible! 🤯

[@trudyrudy5538]

So loving this look, I'm gonna steal it...... thanks viv

[@WhyIsGhostInTheArena]

I love how happy you are with the end result. It's cute 🥺

[@Only1Sosa.]

Love how experimental you are

[@anne-mariechase]

I love it, great hairstyle, wonder vibe.... I love the red color, I have drawstring ponytails like these. Real nice...

[@MizGizma]

That looks like a fabulous style for Christmas. And if you are extra festive ... use little bells instead of beads.

[@DillyBlue]

This was my favourite way to style my Barbie's hair when I was a child!

[@kelseck]

This style looks like a puffer jacket in the best way!! So fun!

[@makeda6530]

That style you suggested with the high pony and a few bubble braids sounds like fantasy/videogame hairstyle. Heheh

[@Ronldbx6]

Oh wow, I skeptical at first but the end result was so cute and alluring on you!😯

[@lissgail]

I always love watching you do your hair but this end result was even better than I expected! Look how gorgeous it turned out and the happiness it gave you made you shine!

[@babyhairband6491]

So cute. You look like a Disney princess.

[@shevonneworley9631]

This is a lot going on. But Thank you for having the patience to do these styles.

[@StunningEmu]

Good morning! Great to see you! You have so much patience for these hair styles. You are amazing! Loves from Florida!

[@EmilyExplosion27]

I liked it. And then the beads went in and I was absolutely in love. You have done a lot of cute styles. THis is EXTRA cute.

[@brownsweetie4760]

Came out beautiful 😍. I have that Amazon hair in right now and it is sectioned as well.

[@Daffodiliousable]

i think this is the cutest your hair has EVER looked!!!

[@denyshadials5702]

Yeeessss I’m on week 3 for mine and I’m in love 😍 if the take down goes well next week (or two lol), it will be my all time favorite long-term style. I didn’t add any hair and I’ve been washing them weekly.

[@swankyangelo]

Update us when you take it down please

[@justyourunaveragerandom2725]

Do you wash your hair any different with the bubble braids in? I've been thinking about trying these but I'm worried about maintenance 😭

[@denyshadials5702]

@@justyourunaveragerandom2725 I’ve shampood with and without an applicator bottle and I don’t see a huge difference between the two. So moving forward I won’t use the bottle anymore. I don’t deep condition (but I also don’t do it often when my hair is loose). I do tea rinses and follow up with a leave-in or I leave my rinse out in my hair. I don’t slather my hair. I t-shirt and air dry. I retighten or fluff the bubbles as they’re air drying-this why you can’t make the rubber bands to tight. Due to my hair texture, this started out as an already frizzy and shrunken style, so washing it doesn’t make them look much different. I’ve gotten nothing but compliments all month. Especially my husband and my students, they love the beads, shells, and my texture (you’ll see what I mean if you wet them. My hair obviously curls up, but the rubber bands keep them stretched into this very tight wavey look-like a guy’s 360 waves. It’s very shiny✨). In the 4 weeks I’ve had them I did redo the front of my hair because I wanted a different side part and my hair had zero signs of loc’ing and was very soft. I hope this helps and let me know if you have anymore questions ☺️.

[@denyshadials5702]

Update: Takedown complete 👍🏾 and for reference, I am type 4 at tailbone length. So if your hair is shorter it should take less time to do everything I’m about to explain. It took just as long to take out as it did to install, roughly 5-6 hours (I took a break to eat). The rubber bands that were tighter took longer to get out, especially at the back. I took them out root to tip using the metal rat tail comb and an elastic cutter. My hair was soft and conditioned at take down, since I washed it two days earlier. Detangling was a breeze, about 20-30 minutes total. The rubber bands that were too tight had some slight matting right at the root. I detangled with the Curl Peace Preshampoo, my paddle brush, followed by my rat tail comb to remove all the shed hair. No excess shedding beyond what I expected for 6 six weeks. My ends were twisted and beaded in the style. In October, I was already due for my 4-month trim (but I had decided to experiment with this style instead 🤪). So it had been 5 1/2 months since my last trim. My ends still looked good and I didn’t take off more than an 1.5 inches all around and redid my face frame (so I can see 😶‍🌫️). 🥰Hubby came home so I had to feed him. I will wash and deep condition in the morning and continue with my usual wash n goes. For the future, I’ll keep my same size sections, medium. And I’m not bringing my hair through the rubber band more than 3 times, so refluffing after washing and taking out the rubber bands will be even easier. It really doesn’t take much to get the look, especially if you have tight curls and lots of shrinkage. I absolutely loved washing and refluffing the style, so I’ll do that again. Because of everything I experienced with it, this will definitely be my new swimming/vacation hair style 👙🏊🏾‍♀️ 😎. And this is overall my new ✨F.A.V.O.R.I.T.E.✨protective style 😍 Let me know if you have any additional questions ☺️.

[@Kermittreefrog]

Oh my wow! That looks so cute! That is your look! Then again, everything you do is your look. You are blessed to be so beautiful!

[@loisarthur1112]

Used to have bubble braids when I was younger, but seeing them back again is making me want have it as a style again 🤔

[@MistressAnyaD]

i did this hair style on the weekend, for my birthday, i used marley hair which closely matches my own. i got a lot of compliments. in total i had 23. and it only took two packs of Marley hair!! one of the cheapest quickest styles to do. my whole head doing myself took no more than 6 hrs including sectioning. (which i struggle with)

[@FINALGIRL85]

You're right " It's a vibe"!

[@twokidsmom5309]

Yassss👍🏾get those shells and update us. People say I use too much in my hair but I feel like crowns need jewels and design soooooo

[@jhonellehenry2206]

I am beyond tempted to try this, especially the one you suggested

[@deebrown3832]

Soooo tru...i can see that one really looking nice

[@christinakyleloves]

Love you, Viv!!❤️❤️❤️❤️ Gorgeous, as always!! Love an "Extra" Look!!🥰🥰🥰

[@LuccaAce]

"Viv has trouble not taking small sections" is the least surprising thing to come out of this video 😂 (flashbacks to bobby pin curls)

[@VivHairTherapy]

🤣🤣🤣 that’s trueeeee

[@lord0jackostar]

This was the style that sent me looking for coloured braiding hair. I’m probably not going for bubble braids, but now I have blue and green braiding hair for buns when I do my next wash day.

[@emeth1455]

I love it, and I like the color mixture.

[@robinblossom5197]

I love it! The red tones work well.

[@unapologeticallyrae1767]

I love this style, but you know you have to give it to us with your natural hair too ow😍😍😍😍😍🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥

[@angeleyeszarai]

THE THUMBNAIL ALONE IS GORGEOUS 👑🙌

[@laken4079]

That hairstyle is runaway worthy! 😮🙂❤️

[@heutenachtistmeintag3328]

Girl you worked it out and the style looks so cute on you. I love the shells so I hope you added more.

[@terry-annedwards554]

Love love love this style.

[@sthomson06]

NGL I was skeptical when I saw the first "boba braid" but the finished look is so glamorous 😍

[@rosedemure5072]

I was skeptical after you were about 3/4 the way through (lol) but I trusted the process and I’m not going to lie, I was surprised how cute it was! I really liked it!👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽

[@desireefudali4200]

I love it! It's so unique & you pull it off beautifully 😍

[@rhiannanthomas1639]

I love how extra this turned out!! So much fun!!

[@BrwnSugDoll]

I could see this being like a dope festival style 😁 it came out so cute 👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾

[@virginiamontaldo440]

It's a great dramatic hairstyle! I have to recreate it on a doll using wool.

[@Nathaliya2003]

I saw this style all over tiktok and you by far have been one of the best. You look absolutely beautiful. I’m inspired to try this now.

[@toronamichele495]

Omg. I love these. I want to rock this asap!!!

[@mssusanmarie]

BEAUTIFUL! It's the good kind of extra!

[@janice338]

You look so cute! The style is so original and after some trouble shooting you pulled it all together beautifully

[@daciannabel9076]

That look really nice. I'll try it for the summer😊

[@be.yon.ce.]

I love this hairstyle but had a hrad time doing it with braids. Thank you for the demo❤

[@marthahawkinson-michau9611]

It’s such a cute hairstyle!!! As amazing as it looks on you, the way your face lit up wearing it was even better.

[@ThePassion81]

Love this! Going to go for a bit thinner puffs and try this with my pre-teens hair. Never though so many different styles with different color hair would look so good without full hair dye but you have show me the way through all these years.

[@aquxavamyable]

Great job. When I did mine the first time it was all black. I dyed my hair burgundy and looks so much better with color.

[@amaniiexxchnge]

The girl who made this super popular is my natural hair goals. Her hair is super long and she just banded her natural hair it was down to her bum 😭

[@sharneeburnett2465]

I love the extra. Its givinnnnngggg goddess vibes

[@sashalivinlife1612]

That came out SO PRETTY & the colours!!! I have smal locks & I think I would try this style form birthday, just to get a different look ❤️

[@DiamondTierra]

[@TriggaTreDay]

SO freakin adorable! I do stuff like this to my real hair, but the added hair is so me and Im totally going to be doing this style very soon.

[@aliciaivory2256]

Oh my god! That idea from 9:40 is such a cute idea!! 😍

[@shauntolstephenson3078]

The color really gave this hairstyle a vibe 👍🏾

[@PossibleBat]

It looks so cute, you could also wear it as two high pigtails ❤

[@cauldronhillcraftworks]

This is a GREAT look. I love it so much.

[@soshiangel90]

[@Mr.Moonlight99]

It turned out awesome!! 💯💯👏👏👏👏👏👏👏

[@kenyasmall8041]

You could have easily done this with your real hair, but I love how you show the possibilities are endless. Very bulky, but it’s not tacky. The accessories were a very nice touch to complete the look ❤

[@destinyalize9482]

I wasn't sure if I was going to like it or not...but I love the drama😍 I have to try this one!
