Mastering the Pull-Through Braid

Looking for a hairstyle that's stylish, simple, and perfect for all occasions? The pull-through braid is one of my favorite go-to looks because it's elegant yet easy to pull off. In this blog, I'll teach you what makes this braid so special and show you how to create your own. Plus, I’ll share some creative pull-through braid styles that are trending for 2025. Let’s get started!

What is a Pull-Through Braid, and Why Is It Perfect for Everyone?

The pull-through braid isn’t your typical braid — you don’t actually have to weave hair the traditional way! Instead, it’s made using a series of ponytails pulled through each other, creating the illusion of a full, thick braid. What I love most about it is that it works on all hair types and lengths, making it super versatile. Whether your hair is natural, relaxed, or even styled with braided wigs, you can rock this style easily!

Why We Love the Pull-Through Braid at Luvme Hair

At Luvme Hair, we celebrate real beauty by making styles that are easy to try at home. The pull-through braid is one of those looks I always recommend because it doesn’t require braiding skills — anyone can do it! It creates volume, holds up all day, and always looks neat. I find it’s especially perfect for protective styling, and it looks just as chic on your natural hair as it does on a quality wig.

Step-by-Step: How to Create a Classic Pull-Through Braid

1. First, brush your hair to remove any tangles. If you’re wearing a wig (like Luvme Hair’s popular options), make sure it’s secure.
2. Divide your hair into two high ponytails, one on top of the other. Secure each with a clear elastic.
3. Take the top ponytail and split it in half. Pull the bottom ponytail up and through the split.
4. Combine the two split sections below the first ponytail, and secure them together with another elastic.
5. Repeat this pattern, splitting the top section and pulling the bottom ponytail through, all the way down. Secure the end with an elastic.
6. To make your braid look fuller, gently tug at the edges to pancake it out.

This whole braid looks fancy but is actually easy to do in less than 10 minutes!

8 Creative Pull-Through Braid Styles to Try in 2025

Half Up Pull-Through Braid

I love wearing my hair half up for days when I want to show off my curls but still keep it out of my face. Start your pull-through braid at the crown and leave the rest of your hair loose — perfect for showcasing the movement if you’re using a braided wig for extra fullness.

Pull-Through Braid Pigtails

This playful style is perfect for parties or just a fun Saturday! Split your hair into two low ponytails and repeat the pull-through braid technique on each side. I guarantee it’ll bring out your inner child and make a bold statement in 2025.

Double Pull-Through Braid

If you have thick or voluminous hair, try creating two braids side by side down your back. It gives a dramatic look, especially for special events!

Pull-Through Braid Ponytail

This is a must-try if you love a statement pony. Start with a high ponytail and follow the pull-through method down the length of it. It’s a great way to amp up a regular ponytail wig for added volume and flair.

Heart-Shaped Pull-Through Braid

For Valentine’s Day or any time you want a romantic twist, shape your braid along your part in a heart shape using small elastics. It adds a sweet touch to any look.

French-Inspired Pull-Through Braid

Section hair at the crown and gradually add more as you move down, mimicking a French braid. It’s refined, beautiful, and ideal for formal events — especially with the sheen of Luvme Hair’s premium wigs.

Mohawk Pull-Through Braid

If you like edgy styles, try creating a pull-through braid just down the center of your head. Leave sides slicked back for that true mohawk effect. This is an eye-catching festival or night-out look.

Pull-Through Braid for Short Hair

Even if you wear your hair short, you can master this look! Create a mini pull-through braid at the top or along the side. With the help of a natural-looking Luvme Hair braided wig, you can also get creative with length and volume.
