How to Braid With Ribbon into Hair?
I advise combing or detangling your hair so it is easy to braid without snarls or tangles before you start braiding. To keep your hair sleek and flyaways to a minimum, you can also add a little mouse or pomade.
Step 1
Take a section of hair from the middle of your head, leaving the sides down, and start a basic braid. You’ll be creating a French braid, so as you descend, pull a few hairs at a time into the braid.
In order to create a straightforward loose French braid style, you will now continue this process, adding more hair to each side as you braid. This does not need to be flawless. It’s meant to be loose and uncomplicated.
Step 2
Then, braid a straight plait for a few more inches or however long you like after reaching the nape of your neck. Depending on your preference, you can either braid down the back as shown or stop at the neck.
Step 3
The top section of your braid’s center will now be passed through by your Topsy Tail.
As shown below, place a ribbon on either side of the braid by pulling your ribbon through the Topsy Tail and pulling it down through the center.
Step 4
Continue weaving the ribbon back and forth through the sections of the braid using one side first, then the next, using the Topsy Tail to pull the ribbon through each side.
Continue in this manner until you reach the end of the braided section, at which point you will manually cross the ribbon over the top and pull it back around to tie a bow.
Step 5
Once you are satisfied with the ribbon placement and bow, trim excess ribbon from the end and tighten the bow.
Now, you have taken an otherwise ordinary French braid and turned it into a fun work of art!

Tips for Braiding With Ribbon into Hair
- You might want to look closely. If so, make sure to braid your hair tightly as you do so. This method works well for a fishtail, as it brings out more clearly what the pattern is meant to look like.
- To achieve a ‘cute overload’ you could pull out a few baby hairs from around your face and by your ears, as well.
Warnings
- Hairspray might spoil the ribbon, depending on what it’s made from. Before spraying with the ribbon in your hair, test a small area of the ribbon. It might be worthwhile to check whether the hairspray comes off the ribbon without difficulty using standard washing techniques. You shouldn’t be concerned if this is the case. If not, don’t repeat!
- Be careful not to ‘pull’ hair or begin a new parting where it hasn’t been before. Your hair will be damaged quickly and easily by this.
