Hey guys! We are always looking for simple and quick hairstyles for school mornings and thought these headband styles from our YouTube channel would be perfect for back to school season. These "5 minute hairstyles" are all super easy but still look fashionable, even though they take very little effort! The headbands add a stylish finishing touch and of course can be changed up and matched to your outfit of the day.

(Click here to watch the video directly on YouTube.)
Hair tutorial #1 features a classic twist on each side of her head, finishing in a low fishtail braid.
Hairstyle #2 is a trendy half up hairstyle with extra micro braids wrapping around the headband. We used a silver braided headband and placed it high on her forehead.
Hairstyle #3 is the easiest of all! A fancy side ponytail with a twist wrapping around the back.
Hairstyle #4 features a pretty beaded headband placed between 2 small braids. We created no heat waves by sleeping in braids overnight to complete this look.
All four of these hairstyles can be done with straight hair, wavy hair, or curly hair. Medium length hair or long hair will work best.

8 Cute Ponytail Hairstyles For Summer!
Today we are sharing 8 quick and easy ponytail ideas, including simple step by step instructions.
During the summer and hot weather, we have been loving hairstyles that keep our hair up, off of our necks, and out of the way. These hairstyles would be great for summer vacations, the beach, swimming, riding bikes, working out, sports, barbecues, etc. These ponytails don't have to be just for summertime either. These styles would be great for back to school and many other every day occasions.
You may recognize some of these styles if you are a long time subscriber of our hair tutorials. This is a compilation video of some of our favorite ponytail hair styles from the past! We have gathered them all in one video, hoping to save you time searching if you are specifically looking for ponytail
ideas.

2 Adorable Hairstyles Using The Bow Tie Braid
For today's hair tutorial we are sharing 2 of our favorite hairstyle ideas using the "bow tie braid."
If you are a long time subscriber, you may remember seeing these styles on our blog in the past! We thought they were too cute not to surface them again.
2 Bow Tie Braid Hairstyles, Video Tutorials: (Click here to watch the video directly on YouTube.)
The bow tie braid is so pretty and unique and could be used to create so many different hairstyles and looks! You could use this basic idea to accent updos, half ups, down hairstyles, ponytails, and more. Depending on how you use this braid, it could work for formal events or every day occasions.... from prom, to work, or school.
Tips and tricks:
- Using the same number of strands on each side of the braid as you gather them into the elastic and take them back out will help to keep things looking symmetrical.
- I would also recommend using hair product on each individual strand to help control flyaways.
- Taking small sections as you create your lace braids on each side of the bows will make things look neater and better.
Spiral Twist Fishtail Braid Hair Tutorial
Our hair tutorial today shows how to create a pretty "spiral twist fishtail braid" ponytail hairstyle.
This braid is very simple to create, but will leave people wondering how you did it! We love that this braid gives sort of a 3D illusion. It is hard to tell where the braid starts and where it ends... with a fishtail running along the top, as well as twisting along each side of the braid, and crossing over the front. So fun!Spiral Twist Fishtail Braid Video Tutorial (Click here to watch the video directly on YouTube.)
As shown in our video above, strategic stretching along the edges of the braid really makes this style pop. Also, it is optional but placing a few bobby pins to hold the braids together as we did will help create the illusion of it being one braid instead of 2.
This ponytail style will work best with long and medium length hair. Big, loose, messy, and disheveled braids are trending right now. So feel free to stretch, fluff, loosen and twist to your hearts content!
Supplies needed to recreate this hairstyle:
- 1 medium size hair tie for the top of the ponytail
- 2 temporary hair ties or clips for the ends of the braids
- 1 medium size hair elastic for the end of the braid
- Several bobby pins (optional)
- Hair product to help prevent flyaways

How To Wrap Hair Around A Ponytail
Hair Wrapped Ponytail - Fool Proof Method
A useful hair hack! Today's hair tutorial shows how to hide your hair tie by wrapping hair around it, the easy way. This classic hair trick uses no bobby pins, extra elastics, or special hair tools (such as a topsy tail, clips, bungees, etc.) We call this the "fool proof" or no fail method because it works for us every time and is super easy and quick.How To Hide A Hair Tie By Wrapping Hair Around It - Video Tutorial
(Click here to watch the video directly on YouTube.)Tips and tricks for getting the perfect hair wrapped ponytail:
1. The strand of hair you are using to wrap around the top needs to be not too thick and not too thin. If you are having trouble, you might need to add some hair to your strand, or take some out.
2. When initially making the ponytail, make sure your hair tie is tight enough to hold the ponytail in place, but not too tight so that you can't get your fingers through or pull the hair through it.
3. Use our video as a guide showing the points of reference and the direction the hair should be going. IE grabbing the strand from underneath the ponytail, wrapping the hair completely one time, pulling the hair back over in the opposite direction, etc. These steps are very simple, but if you don't follow them exactly, it may not work.
4. If you want the wrapped hair to stay sleek and clean looking, use hair product before you start to help control flyaways.
This simple ponytail look can be used for almost any occasion, from the most casual (school days, the beach, working out, shopping, etc) to the most formal or fancy. We've even seen girls wear a sleek hair wrapped ponytail to the Prom or for their wedding! This is probably the most timeless, popular, universal, and loved hairstyle of all time.
How To Make A Fishtail Chain Braid Ponytail Hairstyle
Today's hair tutorial is a beautiful and easy braided ponytail hairstyle that we have been seeing all over Instagram recently. We fell in love with it when we first saw it and have had a few requests for a tutorial, so we knew we wanted to do a video on this style!
This ponytail is so pretty and unique looking and the best part is that it is much easier to make than it looks. If you want to cut down on some time, you could use regular 3 strand braids or twist braids instead of fishtail braids (as they are so gorgeous, but a little more time consuming.)
Fishtail Chain Braid Ponytail Video Tutorial: (Click here to watch the video directly on YouTube.)
This ponytail style would be great for casual occasions as well as formal events. For a more polished look, hair could be wrapped around the top of the ponytail before you start braiding.
Supplies needed to recreate this hairstyle:
- 1 medium size hair tie for the top of the ponytail.
- Several medium/small hair elastics. The amount will depend on the length of hair you are working with and how many loops or links you will be making in the chain braid.
- Hair spray, wax, gel, or other product to help with flyaways.
Some amazing Instagram accounts we remember seeing this hairstyle on and were inspired by: _ardo_ardo_, tojashair, goudhaartje.nl, ymbook, ryt_rs, my_babygirlshair, hair_glamour1, mita_p_akbari, braidymom, trencitajohnson
How To Heart Hairstyle, Double Linked Heart Ponytail
We wanted to share one more cute, last minute, heart hairstyle today before Valentine's Day is over! Have you decided how you are going to wear your hair for Valentine's this year?
In this tutorial, we are using a technique we saw on "Cute Girls Hairstyles" a few years ago to make these hearts. We love this double linked heart ponytail because it is adorable and fairly quick and easy to create.
Double Linked Heart Ponytail Video Tutorial: (Click here to watch the video directly on YouTube.)
In our video we show 2 ways this heart ponytail can be worn. If you have long hair, you could actually add another set of hearts beneath the braids for a 3rd variation.
To complete this heart ponytail, you will need a medium size hair tie and several small hair elastics. That's it!
We have been "hair blogging" for 11 years now! And during each January/February of those 11 years, we have posted several heart shaped or heart themed hairstyles.... which adds up to a lot of hearts. I actually counted over 40 heart hairstyles on our site so far! So, if you are looking for more heart hair ideas, click on our Valentine's hairstyles to see more. (Some of them are from before we started doing YouTube and are picture tutorials only.)
Obviously this hairstyle would be cute for Valentine's Day, but could also be worn for other occasions. I'm thinking this would be adorable for a flower girl at a wedding or just a regular school day.
Braided Edge Banded Fishtail (Part 2)
Today we are showing a variation of a fun new braid that we posted last week. If we have to choose, we actually like this version the most. ;) We love the way the fishtail strands are intricately stacked on this braid. And although this braid looks like it could be difficult, it is actually quite easy to create!
Braided Edge Banded Fishtail Video Tutorial (Click here to watch the video directly on YouTube.)
As mentioned in our hair tutorial (above) the only difference between this and last week's braid is the way that the fishtail strands are brought in. Last time we pulled the strands up through the ponytail, which made a reverse fishtail braid. This time the strands were taken down through the ponytail, creating a standard fishtail braid in each section.
Braided Edge Reverse Banded Fishtail Braid
Today we are sharing a fun new braid! The Braided Edge Reverse Banded Fishtail.
We love this braid because it is easy, even for beginning braiders, but looks so unique and intricate. It is also less time consuming than most fishtail braids.
Braided Edge Reverse Banded Fishtail Video Tutorial: (Click here to watch the video directly on YouTube.)
You may remember the "twisted edge fishtail braid" we posted several years ago? This was one of our favorite creations and one of the braids we are most proud of on our blog! This braided edge banded braid is sort of a variation of the twisted edge fishtail.
This braid can be done in a ponytail style (as shown) or as a half up. As mentioned in our video, you could also make this using a regular fishtail technique instead of a reverse fishtail (which we hope to show in an upcoming tutorial.)
We love this braid left together as more of a tight and sleek braid. Or lifted and stretched for a more voluminous look, which accentuates all of the details of this braid.
Bow Tie Braid Ponytail Hair Tutorial
This bow tie braid ponytail is so cute and unique, it's sure to bring you compliments!
You may remember the "bow tie braid hairstyle" we posted last year? This bow tie ponytail is a fun variation of that hairstyle. We are loving this ponytail method as it is easier and quicker than the original (since no french braids or dutch braiding is required.)
Bow Tie Ponytail Video Tutorial: (Click here to watch the video directly on YouTube.)
The day my daughter wore this hairstyle, she had so many people ask her how to do it. It is definitely an eye catcher! We think the bows running down the ponytail are absolutely adorable. This hairstyle is quickly becoming one of our all time favorites!
This style will work best with long or medium length hair. As mentioned in our video, you can adjust the number of bows you make (as well as the number of strands forming the bows) to the length and thickness of your own hair.
We used clear elastics for the center of our hair bows. Colored elastics could also be used for a fun twist. I think jewels or other hair bling would be so pretty placed in the center of the bows or over the elastics as well. And of course, if you want to hide the hair tie at the top of the ponytail, you could wrap it with hair before you start braiding.
The best trick we can offer for creating this style is the use of hair product. We used pomade on each strand before making the bows to keep the flyaways down and to help keep the overall look smooth and sleek.
This hairstyle would be great for school, church, or special occasions. Hope you enjoyed!
4th of July Hairstyle! Elastic Star And Pull Through Braid For Teens
Another star hairstyle for the 4th of July!
Our hair tutorial this week features a fun star design accent on one side of her head, combined with an edgy pull through braid faux hawk ponytail look using the rest of her hair.
Over the years we have shared many star hairstyles on this blog for the 4th of July. Most of these styles would be adorable for younger girls... "star pigtails" anyone? But today we wanted to show a star hairstyle that will hopefully work for teenagers too! I think this trendy look would be so cute for a barbecue, fireworks, watching a parade, or hanging out with friends and family.
4th Of July Hairstyle, Elastic Star And Pull Through Braid Video Tutorial: (Click here to watch the video directly on YouTube.)
As mentioned in our video, you can end the pull through braid at the base of her neck for a ponytail look like we did. Or, you can continue the braid all the way down to the ends of her hair if you prefer. Stretching out the edges of your braid will make this style very voluminous and beautiful. I would also recommend tugging slightly on the bangs area for more volume and style in the front (if you like the popular pompadour look.)
Supplies needed to recreate this hairstyle:
- Small elastics to create the star. We used Goody Ouchless Elastics (affiliate.)
- Medium size elastics for the pull through braid.
- Pomade, gel, hair wax, or other product to help control flyaways.
3 Strand Pull Through Braid Tutorial And 5 Ways To Wear It!
Today we are showing how to make a 3 strand pull through braid and 5 cute hairstyle ideas for finishing the style. We have shown a standard pull through braid tutorial as well as the reverse braid on our blog in the past, but have not filmed this 3 strand variation up until now. We first saw this awesome and original braid by @prettylittlebraids on Instagram. This is probably our favorite variation of the pull through braid since it looks so full, gorgeous, and voluminous! This edgy braid has the look of a "faux hawk" and would be great hairstyle for dance competitions and other sports. Since this braid is tethered with elastics all the way down, it holds up really well to most activities.
3 Strand Pull Through Braid Video Tutorial & 5 Ways To Style It: (Click here to watch the video on YouTube.)
This braid could be used to create many different hairstyles and can be worn along the scalp in a "french braid" look, or in a ponytail without adding in hair from the sides of the braid. We have included 5 tutorials in our video (above) for some of our favorite ways to wear this braid:
1. 3 strand pull through braid faux hawk with ponytail.
2. 3 strand pull through braid and flip braid combo.
3. Pull through and fishtail braid combo.
4. Pull through ponytail with micro braids.
5. Standard 3 strand pull through braid from top to bottom.
A few tips and tricks: If you prefer to use less elastics, it is possible to gather a new section at the same time you are securing the 3 strands. But, I have found it much easier to make all of the ponytails first and then double up on the elastics as you make the braid. Everything seems to turn out neater and smoother when I do it this way. Also, as mentioned in our video, the braid turns out better for me when I stretch out each individual section before moving on to the next (as it prevents the layer beneath the one you are working on from being disturbed as you are stretching the strands out.)
Supplies needed to recreate these hairstyles:
- Several medium size, clear (or similar to the color of hair you are working with) elastics. The amount will depend on the style chosen and the length of hair you are working with.
- Hairspray, gel, hair wax, etc. to help control flyaways.
Hair Hack! Make A Pull Through Braid Using Half The Elastics
Hey guys! We love the look of the pull through braid... but hate taking out all of those elastics at the end of the day. Today's tutorial or "hair hack" shows how to make a pull through braid ponytail hairstyle using only 1/2 of the elastics you would normally need! This will hopefully save you some time, frustration, and damage to your hair the next time you want to wear a pull-through braid.
How To Make A Pull Through Braid Using 1/2 The Elastics, Video Tutorial: Click here to watch the video directly on YouTube.
The trick to this hair cheat is adding elastics to only one strand of the braid instead of both strands (like you normally would.) As mentioned in our video (above) you will need to be careful to keep your strands separated and on the same side of the braid from the top to the bottom, or this will end up looking more like a regular 3 strand braid, and less like a pull through. We recommend stretching the sides of this braid for a more voluminous and glamorous look.
Hope you love this hack!

Valentine's Day Hairstyle For Teens! Braided Faux Hawk With Heart Braid Accent
Looking for heart hairstyles? You'll love this braided faux hawk with an adorable heart accent.
We love heart hairstyles and have traditionally added a few heart themed tutorials each year on our hair4myprincess YouTube Channel and Princess Hairstyles blog. As my daughter is now a teenager, we wanted something a little more grown up this year. We are loving the combination of an edgy and contemporary faux hawk mixed with a super cute and dainty heart. Like denim and lace, this unexpected combo is very chic! This Valentine's hairstyle would be perfect for school, work, Valentine's Day parties and dances, weddings, and other special or casual occasions.
Braided Faux Hawk and Heart Accent Video Tutorial: (Click here to watch the video directly on YouTube.)
This style was created by combining several techniques: a voluminous french braid faux hawk, a standard ponytail, and a cute heart accent braid which was inspired by several tutorials we have seen on Instagram and Youtube. Cute Girls Hairstyles, Brown Haired Bliss, Learn Do Teach Hairstyles, Two Little Girls Hairstyles, Easy Toddler Hairstyles and Toddler Hair Ideas are just a few accounts where we remember seeing this type of braided heart.
If you would rather rope twist, fishtail, or leave the hair unbraided in your heart, you could do that instead for a slightly different look. You could also add another heart directly underneath the first one for a double heart look! As mentioned in our video tutorial, a piece of hair could be wrapped around the top of the ponytail for a modern and sophisticated looking finish.

Decorated Pull Through Braids! 3 Holiday Hairstyle Ideas
These 3 ponytail Christmas hairstyles would be great for many holiday parties and events this year! We are loving these "decorated pull-through braids" as they are festive and fun, but not overly crazy. I could see these styles working for little girls as well as teens and women. These 3 hairstyles could be worn to a Christmas party, any upcoming holiday event, to school or work, for New Years Eve, to church, or even a hairstyle to go with an ugly sweater contest. ;)
Decorated Pull Through Braids Video Tutorial: (Click here to watch the video directly on YouTube.)
In this video hair tutorial, we show 3 different techniques for creating the decorated pull through braids.
#1 Pull through braid with tinsel. This is the traditional method and most popular technique we have seen to make the braid (using garland as a substitute for the standard second section of hair in our decorated variation.)
#2 Bubble braid with pulled through beads. We came up with this method as we were experimenting and love it, as it halves the amount of elastics used in a traditional pull through style!
#3 Reverse pull through braid with ribbon. We have shared this inverted or reverse technique in the past. For this tutorial we replaced the second section of hair with holiday ribbon.
Of course, these hairstyles can be worn for many occasions year round and not just for Christmas!
Supplies needed to recreate these styles:
- 1 large elastic or hair tie for the top of the ponytail.
- Several medium size clear elastics (the amount will depend on the length of hair you are working with as well as the technique chosen.)
- Decor for your pull through braid. You could really add any type of ribbon, garland, beads, lace, yarn, etc. for all 3 of the techniques shown. We found all of our supplies at the Dollar Store.
- Scissors to cut your decor to desired length.
- You could definitely add some ornaments or lights to these styles (if that is the look you are going for.) I'm thinking some jewels or other hair accessories placed at each elastic would also be lovely if you are wanting some added sparkle.
