Step 1: Prep and Divide
Start by brushing out any tangles from your little girl's hair to ensure a smooth base for styling. With curly or more textured hair, be sure to start detangling from the bottom up. Then, using a rat-tail comb, create a clean center part all the way down to the nape of her neck, dividing her hair into two equal sections.
Step 2: Separate and Section
Choose one side to start with and divide hair into five equal sections and secure each with a clear elastic band. Brush each section to keep them uniform. Repeat on the other side.

Step 3: French Braid Beginnings
Starting with the section at the forehead, divide this section into two equal parts and, gathering the section below, cross them behind and secure with an elastic band.
Step 4: Add in Hair and Secure
As you continue braiding down the back of her head, repeating the divide, gather, wrap behind, and secure steps. This will create the French braid look without as much tension to the scalp. Don't forget to secure the ends with elastic bands.

Step 5: Create the Bubble Effect
Now it's time to transform those French braids into adorable bubble braids! Starting at the top of the first braid, gently tug on each section of the braid to loosen it and create a bubble-like effect. Work your way down the entire length of the braid, spacing out the bubbles evenly.
Step 6: Finishing Touches
To complete the style, gently tug on the edges of each bubble to make them appear fuller and more voluminous. You can also use a bit of hairspray to tame any flyaways and keep the braids in place throughout the day. Make it your own with her favorite color hair bands, bows, clips.
