You’ve seen a lot of braid tutorials, and you love them, but today we’re going to add in a new twist. Today, we’ll be using two different textures: the jumbo braid and the braid bun ponytail. Think about it – instead of doing one French braid (which can take hours), or two separate french braids in one ponytail, what if you did two different styles all in one? This hybrid look is sure to turn heads! If you’ve been thinking about trying out this style for yourself, I hope this article on how to do jumbo braided ponytails will help.
So, which of your favorite things would you rather see in a jumbo braid? Your choice!
Whatever you select, make sure it’s simple to separate the strands when you’re ready to unwind them. The braid bun ponytail is designed to be extensive and complete, so you can quickly break it apart if you feel like taking a different route or fixing your hair up on the go.
However, the jumbo braid is much sleeker as it flows down and around itself. The strands are separated by their width, so pull them apart by the length of the strands – don’t try to pull them apart by one strand at a time.
How to make Jumbo braid ponytails
You may want to consider Jumbo braid ponytails as a perfect hairstyle for you. They are versatile and can be created in many different ways. They are often referred to as the “carwash” look because they can be done quickly and don’t require much styling time at home.
You’ll also need a top knot holder, elastic bands, hair clips, bobby pins, or anything else that will hold both sections together and pin them together at the back of your head for this style.
You can use hot rollers, spray a little hairspray or leave it uncut. Think of the look you want and search online for a tutorial on how or in what way to create the style.
The Jumbo braid ponytail tutorial that I will share with you today can be done quickly and easily because it utilizes elastic bands already inside your head and is just waiting to be used!
Step 1: Begin braid your hair as usual
Before you begin to braid your hair, as usual, section off two even areas of hair that are 6-9 inches long. This will hold the two teams securely in place while you create two separate ponytails with the help of elastic bands.
Step 2: Divide the two sections
Divide the two sections into three smaller sections as you work your way from the bottom of the hair towards the top of your head.
Step 3: Secure each section
Secure each portion by sliding an elastic band over it after you’ve reached the top of your head. The hair should be divided into six small sections and secured with elastic bands at this point.
Step 4: Gather the two confined sections together
Gather the two confined sections together and then tie them together with a large elastic band using a simple ponytail holder (top knot holder) or whatever else is available to you at this point. You will have created a Jumbo braid ponytail at this point!
Step 5: Add a braid or two onto the ponytail
At this point, you can do what you want with it. You can add a braid or two onto the ponytail and create fullness to be more extreme in its size. You can even add a large hair clip or two to the ends of your Jumbo braid ponytail by clipping them through the elastic bands or simply tucking the ends inside your head and pinning them down with bobby pins.
1. Extra Long Side Ponytail
This style is called an extra-long side ponytail because the ponytail is on the side of your head, not on top – it is the same as if you were wearing a crown braid. There are variations in this style where you can use two or more hair strands to create a thicker look. The best way to get this look would be by using an elastic band that does not have teeth in it so that your hair will stay smooth and tangle-free all day!
2. Genie Ponytail with Hair Cuffs
This style is excellent for all hair types, but it’s perfect for those with fine or thin hair. You want to start with a deep side part to create this look. Next, make a ponytail at the crown of your head, securing the elastic out of sight under your ponytail or near it. Take two sections from each side and cross them over one another in front of the other section before tucking them into that other section.
You can keep doing this till you’re satisfied. Your final tuck is completely buried inside the top part.
3. Colored Jumbo Braid with Weave
A colorful jumbo braid can be worn as a french-braided ponytail or an elegant updo. This tutorial is perfect for a night out dancing at the club, the prom, or some other celebratory evening. This style transitions from day to night with a full braid down the back and three or four mini braids on top for texture.
This fringe-y, fun look can be yours with just some basic braiding skills and a little patience. And no need for any special tools, hair equipment, or even scissors!
4. Ponytail with Microbraids and Weave
Have you always dreamed of a wavy ponytail? A looser, more carefree hairstyle that’s not too tight, not too long and isn’t just another old-fashioned braid? Look no further. We’ve found the perfect style for those who want to keep their hair down but in a different way.
These jumbo braid ponytails take your traditional braided look up a notch with long micro braids and beautiful woven tresses that are perfect for any special occasion or even workday. Plus, they’ll make you look good enough to eat!
5. High Ponytail with Highlighted Ends
This hairstyle is a gorgeous, shiny take on the classic braid. It is super fun and easy to do and is perfect for any occasion! Say goodbye to days of creating messy, tangled messes in your hair with every braid you try out. Once you have this down, you’ll never need another style again.
Many people think that braids are too hard or expensive to learn how to do at home, but this tutorial will show that it doesn’t need to be the case! Just follow these steps, and your ponytail will turn into a flawless masterpiece instantly! The high ponytail with highlighted ends tutorial has been famous on YouTube since 2008, but it’s always in style and always looks fantastic.
6. Extra Long Jumbo Ponytail
Classic ponytails are great, but they have their limits. What are you supposed to do if you’re dealing with long hair? The solution is an extra-long jumbo ponytail!
Jumbo braid ponytails are the answer. Make this hairstyle by braiding your hair into a single long braid and tying it at the end with a clear elastic band. A fantastic tip for anyone who has tried this style before: make sure to use gentle styling products on the backs of your hair before braiding them up because this will help prevent excessive breakage when elastics are applied or removed from your hair.
7. Triple Pony
Create French knits by parting your hair into three pieces, two on the sides and one in the center of your head. After you’ve finished braiding them, secure them at the bottom and style them into a low Jumbo braided ponytail. Note that you may have to crochet a portion of your hair into the braid during this process to hold it in place.
The ponytail length can range from waist-length down to ankle-length, but I prefer low ponytails above my pants line, which creates a lovely silhouette. The ends feel like they are “incomplete” and can be braided themselves into a modest mini-bun.
8. Ashy Blonde Braided Pony
Style bangs and creates a Jumbo braided ponytail on top of the head for a distinctive, gorgeous ponytail. Use ashy golden hair color to complement the straight fringe.
The ash blonde, straight fringe ponytail with a jumbo braid on top is famous among young stylists, Instagrammers, and up-and-coming celebrities. It can be worn in various styles, including in a sloppy bun or with side-swept bangs. Like most braided hairstyles, it suits almost everyone and is easy to recreate at home.
9. Half Box Braided Ponytail
Half-box braids are trendy right now! But what if you want to add a little more style and flair while still staying true to your favorite braid pattern? We have the perfect solution. The Half Box Braided Ponytail is an easy half-box braid that looks professional yet playful. You can wear with a sundress or a skirt of your choice, jeans, and shirt, or dress it up with shoes for date night! This is a must-try for girls looking for an easy half-box braid.
10. Stitch Braided Pony
Even if the method is meticulous, stitch feed in braids will look fantastic. Because you don’t want any rebel strands hanging out, split your hair and apply a lot of jam. Gradually integrate Jumbo hair, and bind all braids into a pony at the end. If you have a round face, the braids will be slightly convex. For oval faces, they will be pleasant. It’s possible to fold it under and do a fishtail plait. It is recommended to cut bangs before starting this pony. The design of this hairstyle is very natural.
11. Jumbo Braids With Ring Shell Clips
The jumbo braid fishtail is a great way to keep your hair out of the way, especially if you have an event to attend and are having difficulty figuring out what would work best. One other big reason that the Jumbo Fishtail Braid is such a popular look is that it creates little or no damage to your hair. It comes with several variations, so you can find one that meets your needs.
The Jumbo Fishtail Braid might not be as trendy right now as some other hairstyles, but it could be pretty cool in a few years!
12. Jumbo Braids With Middle Feed-In Braid
Jumbo braids with a middle feed-in braid is a type of afro hairstyle that is one of the best hairstyles to obtain. The middle braid not only helps you keep whatever your natural texture but makes your jumbo braids look much neater and smoother.
As for what you need for this particular hairstyle, use heat-protective styling products and gently rub them into your hair before making the first side part. You can create the middle feed-in braid using a hair rat or simply a regular comb. I prefer using a hair rat because it is usually easier to hold the hair while making the first braid.
13. Large Red Jumbo Feed-In Braid
Another fashionable braid is the enormous red jumbo feed-in braid. This red giant feed-in braid is the answer if you need to add some color to your overall look. The traditional feed-in braid is made by braiding hair from the side to the middle of the head. The enormous red jumbo feed-in braid is braided from back to front instead.
The best way to start this braiding pattern is by brushing all your hair away from your face and then securing it with a hair tie or a rubber band. Next, you will divide your hair into three sections and then braid each section separately, alternatively adding an extra layer of hair as you go along. When you’re finished, take one side of the braid and cross it over the rest of your head so that it meets with the other side in this new position.
14. Butt-Length Braid
If you really want to mess around with your hair, this is for you. It’s also perfect for days when you don’t have time to do anything with your hair.
This style includes a wide braid wrapped around the ponytail and ends at the same point where it starts. The extra-long braid can be tied in a knot at the bottom or left loose and free-flowing.
15. Slick Ponytail with Baby Hairs
This hairstyle is for people who want a jumbo braid ponytail, but the hair is too short of creating a full-blown braid. This style has small braids from the front of the head to each side, with some baby hairs that stick out from the braids. It’s visually stunning and modern with its sleek look and half-up, half-down styling.
This trend appears to be gaining traction, and you can quickly achieve this look with an elastic headband or a thin hairband. If you don’t want your mane looking so polished, feel free to add a few dark streaks or individual braids through your baby hairs.
