Make it really ugly,” says the voice that’s been layered over thousands of videos.

TikTok knows it, countless celebs know it, and I know it.
I can’t pinpoint exactly when or why I started wearing the style.

Another reason for their popularity?
Double braids manage to level up every single outfit I own.
Most importantly, they just make me feel cute.

No matter how you wear yours, you’ll need just a few simple essentials to nail the look.
A good brush is key.
I like Dae’s, which uses a mix of plastic and boar-like bristles perfect for smoothing.

And finally, some bows or cute hair ties are a fun way to add some personality.
I like Scunci’s, but ribbons, bows, or even strings will do.
