Newman believes the recent wave of Y2K nostalgic style trends brought bubble braids back into the mix.

First, split your hair into two pigtails and secure below each ear, Newman says.
Then, pinch the outer edges the gently pull the bubble open, Newman says.

“This will help you create bubbles that line up on both sides,” Newman adds.
