Tutorial: How To Do Mexican Braids with Ribbon Hairstyle

Prep your hair.

Start off by washing hair with a shampoo and a conditioner (we love how Aveda Clove Shampoo and Aveda Clove Conditioner revive dull hair and give it a glossy shine.) Next, prep your hair with Bed Head by TIGI Superstar Queen for a Day Thickening Spray to add volume and thickness to your style.

Create a ponytail.

Pull your hair into a side ponytail and secure it with a hair tie.

Tie the ribbon around the base.

To start your braids with ribbon, secure the ribbon around the base of the ponytail by looping it in a small knot around the hair tie. 

Begin braiding.

Begin your three-strand braid and include the ribbon in one of the three strands. Be sure to keep the ribbon at the front of the style to ensure it remains visible.

Continue your braid.

Continue braiding until you reach the end of your hair.

Secure the end.

Grab a clear hair tie and secure the end of the braid by wrapping the hair tie around the tail a few times. 

Knot the ribbon.

Knot the ribbon around the clear elastic to create smooth finish to the style. Your braids with ribbon is almost complete!

Secure the style.

Finish this look off with a mist of Suave Professionals Natural Smooth Micro Mist Hairspray to secure the style.

Done!

That’s it! You can use your fingers to spread the braids with ribbon apart and create a pancake effect for strands that appear thicker than they are.

Then take the other end and pass it through the loop made by second end. Continue the hitches to end the braid. Finish the knot by tightening the braid.

Then rearrange the position of the hitches. This is done with care. The braid is made beautiful and prettier by making a lengthy chain.

This tutorial shows you how to do one easily and can be done in a matter of time. So check it out, get your equipment ready, and good luck!

We use a ribbon from the Moonstitch ribbon line. Use this adorable ribbon to make cute braids and this particular one is Moonstitch polka in shocking pink. Let me tell you, it is just beautiful.

Split your hair in two and use a hair tie to secure the ribbon in a little piece of hair. It doesn’t need to be pretty because you won’t see this part.

Take the ribbon and put it to the side. Then split the hair into 3 sections {or two if you are fishtailing} and start braiding.

Do a couple of stitches and then put the ribbon back from the side. It goes under the hair and you braid a few more stitches.

That’s all there is to it. Do a few stitches with the ribbon on top and few stitches with the ribbon under. Keep going until you reach the end of the hair.

I put a hair tie in to secure everything and then tied a bow with the ribbon. If you decide not to tie the bow, you won’t need as much ribbon to start with.

And there you have it, cute ribbon braids. I love how the ribbon mixes with the hair and gives a little pop of color.
