5 gorgeous and super easy hairstyle ideas to do on your own...
1. Bubble braid
Originally, this hairstyle - which today everyone calls "bubble braid" or "bubble braid" - is known as "maki maki". In reality, it is an ancestral hairstyle originating in the Congo which allows women to keep the hydration of frizzy hair, but also to lengthen and soften it. Today, it is more trendy than ever around the world. "Maki maki" or "bubble braid" hairstyle photos are flooding social networks such as Instagram, Pinterest, or TikTok. But then, how to achieve it? Although it is "wow", rest assured, it is very easy to reproduce.
Tutorial:
Style your hair back, flatter it and tie it into a ponytail with a classic elastic, at the height you want your bubble braid to start. Some choose to do it high, while others prefer it lower, or even in the hollow of the neck. It's up to you to see which height is right for you.
Then create these little hair bubbles. To do this, tie your hair approximately every 10 centimeters using a small thin plastic elastic. Repeat until you reach the end of your ponytail.
Finally, to form pretty round bubbles, just pull the hair from the hair sections with your fingertips.
2. Plated bun

Did you wash your hair two or three days ago and your roots are starting to get dirty? Look no further, this hairstyle will save you... with elegance! Ideal for a dinner with your other half, a party or even to go to the office, the plated bun adapts to all situations and gives each looks a very chic touch. It clears the face to highlight it. We, therefore, advise you to try it if you have medium-length hair. If your hair is too short, consider adding bobby pins so as not to let loose strands of hair; on the other hand, if your hair is too long, prefer the flat ponytail that you can braid for example for a more original hairstyle.
Tutorial:
Start by gathering all of your hair into a high ponytail. Remember to pull and flatten the strands as much as possible for an impeccable result. Do not hesitate to use a comb or a round brush.
Tie the ponytail with an elastic (preferably the same shade as your hair) and tighten securely; even if it means doing four turns with your elastic.
Take your lengths and roll them up tightly to form a small "snail" bun.
Tie the bun with a rubber band (preferably the same shade as your hair).
Take a dab of fixing gel between your hands, and smooth your hair with it, making a gesture that starts from your face to go to the bun.
3. Perfect wavy
Straight hair is being shunned more and more in favor of more natural-looking hair. The wavy is now one of our favorite hairstyles. A must-have that you can easily create with a straightening iron or a curling iron by curling strands here and there. And if you dream of ripples, like the photo above, know that it is quite doable, alone, at home! We immediately give you the secrets and tips to achieve this.
Tutorial:
Not all devices allow such a result. We advise you to take, for this perfect wavy, a cylindrical curling iron. This is indeed what is best to achieve flawless and regular curls.
Take a first wick, neither too thin nor too thick, and style it by starting the loop at the level of the ears.
Continue like this, strand after strand, over your entire hair.
Finish by styling your hair with a wide-toothed comb, as well as adding a veil of hairspray to set everything together.
If this is the kind of hairstyle that we did Rapido-presto, a few years ago, before going to school; today, it is more synonymous with glamor and elegance. Supporting evidence with the photo above. All the stars fall for the high half-tail. Perfectly plated hair, straight lengths ... this hairstyle is perfect for the day, but also for a special occasion.
Tutorial:
Start by straightening all of your hair.
Using a comb, gather the upper half of your hair into a high ponytail. Tie your hair with a small, thin plastic elastic if you have thin hair, then with a regular elastic if your hair is thicker. In all cases, take care to tighten it well so as to flatter your hair.
Remember to release, if you wish, two thin wicks on the front.

If you prefer to keep your hair loose, you can also opt for this "flat locks" hairstyle, for example. Classic and versatile, it is generally worn with wavy or smooth lengths. The "plated locks" hairstyle is very easy to do on its own and rather quick. The right solution to get your hair done in no time.
Tutorial:
Draw a straight line in the middle.
On each side, take a wick about ten centimeters wide and cover it with a comb down to the bottom of the neck.
Tie these two strands with a small thin plastic elastic at the nape of the neck, and remember to tighten them - so as to keep the strands firmly in place.
For an even more plaster finish, do not hesitate to heat a dab of gel between your hands and then apply it to both locks of hair, starting from the parting, up to the nape of the neck.
