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.

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.

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.
