Bella then slicks her hair back with gel, combs it out, ties it back into two pigtails, and then braids each pigtail. “If this works, I’m just gonna say it is so weird and gross,” says Bella. “But I’m down for more tips, so it doesn’t matter.”
When her braided pigtails are ready to go, her video cuts to Bella giving an update after her shift.
“Y’all were not lying,” Bella continues. “I got a $135 tip by one guy tonight. I’m about to be doing this every day.” Wow!
Bella’s video received over 920,000 likes and tons of comments. People encouraged her to try different styles similar to traditional pigtails to see if they work just as well.
That’s how her series, ‘Trying Different Hairstyles To See Which One Makes The Best Tips’ was born.
Bella has tried everything from braided space buns to bubble braids. However, nothing has worked quite as well as the braided pigtails. One man even gave her a $50 tip on an $18 meal while she was wearing them. It’s crazy!
Not everyone is willing to sport the hairstyle despite the trend and success stories, like one commenter who hilariously wrote, “I wore my hair like that once, and some guy called me Snoop Dog, and I never wore them again,” on one of Bella’s videos.
No matter how you feel about them, sporting pigtails might be your new favorite tactic if you’re a waitress trying to earn a few extra bucks. Just be sure always to be careful!
