Here are some images of old photographs of communities wearing Bubble Braids hairstyles, from different eras, ethnic traditions, and cultures.

Some photographs, originally in black and white, have been partially or entirely colourized by the graphic designer AGOBO.

Bubble braids are hairstyles created by securing the hair with elastics or thread along the entire length of each strand. This style is easier to achieve with curly or kinky hair because it adds volume quickly. The smaller the curls, the easier and more natural it is to achieve this look.

The name Bubbles braids is used by English speakers and boules or bulles by French speakers, among other names depending on the ethnic languages ​​of the world.
