10. The Wrapped Ribbon Braid

Incorporate a white, silver, or blue velvet ribbon into your three-strand braid. The ribbon adds both color and structure, helping you achieve a fuller-looking braid while adding a soft, wintry aesthetic.

Pro-Tips for “Frozen” Volume

  • Pancaking is Essential: Never stop at the braid itself. Once the braid is secured, gently pull on the loops from the outside in to make it look 2x wider.
  • Texture Spray is Your Best Friend: Before you start braiding, saturate your hair with a dry texture spray. It provides the “grip” necessary to keep the braid from slipping.
  • Cool-Toned Accessories: To really lean into the “Frozen” theme, look for accessories in silver, white, or icy blue tones rather than warm gold or copper.
  • Add “Fuzz”: If your hair is too slick, use a fine-tooth comb to gently tease the hair at the roots before you begin braiding. This provides the lift at the crown that makes these styles look so regal.
