These mini braids that have been ALL over TikTok are super easy to DIY. Really hone in on the trend by styling them on each side of your face to get this face framing effect.

6Colored Front Pieces
We’ve shown you a few hair style trends, but there are color trends we can also thank TikTok for – this being one of them.

You can DIY it right at home thanks to this tutorial.
7Parted High Ponytail
The slicked back, high ponytail has been trending for a while. TikTok has evolved that trend a bit, with people adding a parted element to the style.

While it looks like an intimating style it’s pretty easy to achieve – this TikTok shows us all how in just a few seconds.

10Space Buns
We couldn’t talk about Tik Tok hair trends without mentioning space buns! Another one you’ve probably noticed around social media. It’s such a cute and fun trend. What we think one of the best parts about it is the fact that it doesn’t have to be ‘perfect’ in order to be on trend and look great. This video actually proves that – she even says that the part doesn’t need to be super straight and spot on! Now this is a trend we love to see…who needs perfection anyways?!
