You may have seen this trend take over your Instagram feed or even out and about: the bubble braid is here in a big way. According to data from Spate, there are 49.9K searches on average every month in the U.S. for Bubble Braids, a 165.7 percent growth in searches since last year.
The fairly simple to style hair trend uses “bubbles'' of fluffed-up hair spaced out with elastics. It's completely versatile when it comes to texture. We saw a spike in the trend in 2020, and it has only grown since. Related search terms like "short hair" and "extensions" show an increasing interest in length, a perfect segue to that "it's time for extensions" conversation you've been wanting to have with your client.
Let your guests and followers see that you're on top of the trends—ask a guest if they're open to the style, photograph them and post to your social channels.
