Basic rules for braiding

In order for the braid to turn out neat and keep its shape for a long time, the hair must be properly prepared. Braiding is done only on washed curls, preferably slightly damp (this makes them easier to work with). For durability, a special mousse is first applied to them, and the finished braid is sprayed with varnish.

Braiding is not complete without aids– bobby pins, hairpins, hair clips and a set of elastic bands. They are necessary for separating and fixing strands during intermediate work. It is better to take a comb with a sharp handle; it is convenient to add volume to lush braids.

Advice!If you choose braids as your daily hairstyle, try not to wear them continuously for more than 8 hours at a time. Constant tension weakens the hair roots.

How to make a voluminous braid?

If the hair itself is not too thick, you can visually add volume to the braid by pulling out a few strands. But it is important to do this carefully so as not to damage the weaving. It will be easier to maintain a neat appearance of the braid if you first apply varnish to it.

They begin to pull out the strands from the end, gradually moving upward. In this case, the braid is held with one hand, ensuring that symmetry is maintained relative to the center. It is not recommended to pull too hard right away. It is better to fluff your hair slightly first, and then, if necessary, repeat the procedure.

Braids: step by step

The essence of braiding is to divide the hair into separate neat strands of equal size, which are then crossed with each other in a certain sequence. Typically, three to five strands are used, although in complex techniques there may be more. Let's consider step by step creation classical types braids that serve as the basis for other hairstyles.

Simple Russian braid

Hair should be thoroughly combed and divided into three equal parts. Then they are intertwined as follows: the right strand is placed between the left and middle, and the left is placed between the middle and right. Alternation continues until the desired length is achieved. Having finished weaving, the end of the braid is tied with a tight elastic band.

Note!To keep the braid in shape and not fray, it is important to hold the strands with slight tension when braiding.

Pigtail-harness

This original braid it is very easy to braid. The curls are gathered into a ponytail at the top of the head and divided into two equal strands. Each of them is twisted clockwise until a strong rope is formed. The twisted strands are connected so that they wrap around one another, and the ends are secured with a hairpin or elastic band.

The hairstyle looks better on straight hair of the same length. When cutting a cascade, the ends, coming out of the strands, will ruin the whole picture.

French style braid

The hairstyle is similar to a classic braid, but it starts from the forehead rather than from the bun. The sequence of actions is as follows:

• Comb your hair well.
• Take the top of your curls and divide them into three equal strands.
• Braid your hair according to the principle of a Russian braid, adding after each crossing new, equal-sized strands on the sides.
• When the desired length is reached, the braiding is finished with a regular braid or ponytail. If you need a lush braid, take the strands thicker and not pull them too tight.

"Fish tail"

This braid uses four parts of hair, which makes it wider and denser than other types of braiding. The small strands in it resemble scales in appearance, which is why the hairstyle got its name.

To braid a fishtail, the hair is gathered into a bun at the back of the head and then divided into two equal halves. From the outer part of the hair in the left hand, take a thin strand and add it to the curls in right hand, perform the same actions for the second side. The braid will turn out symmetrical and neat if all the strands are the same size. You can add a French touch to your hairstyle by starting the braiding not from the back of the head, but from the top or side of the head.

Braid for long hair with bangs

Bangs can complement stylish look and stroke the irregular oval of the face, but in our case it seriously complicates the work. It is not easy to weave it into a standard braid, because individual short hairs constantly get out of the braid. Therefore, for connoisseurs of braids, hairdressers have invented several ways to harmoniously combine bangs with other hairstyle elements.

French version with bangs

The weaving technique is the same as a regular French braid (spikelet). The washed curls are slightly moisturized and three strands are isolated on the top of the head at the temple - one from the bangs, the second from the bangs and the main mass of hair in half, and the third only from long hair.

As you weave, new strands are gradually added to the braid until the bangs are finished. Next, they move to the main part of the hair or leave the bangs in the form of a hoop, and secure its end with a hairpin or bobby pin. When finished, it is advisable to fix the hairstyle with hairspray.

Waterfall

The “waterfall” braid is also based on French braiding, but the result is different, due to the release of some of the strands downwards. To make this hairstyle, the hair is parted sideways and three identical strands are isolated at the base of the bangs.

The first 2–3 spans are performed similarly to the “spikelet”. Then each lower strand is released, replacing it with a new one from the top of the head. They finish the hairstyle by braiding the braid in a circle and pinning it at the temple with bobby pins. But you can even let it diagonally down your hair.

Advice!“French waterfall” looks more romantic and elegant if you curl the lower part of your hair a little with a curling iron.

There is also a simpler version of braiding a waterfall braid based on a tourniquet

2. From the top of the head we grab the next strand, throw it between two crossed strands and leave it hanging freely:
   
   
3. We pull up the front and middle strands and cross them. We pick up the next portion from the top of the head, also throw it between the two and leave it hanging freely:
   
   
4. So we continue braiding to the desired length, braiding the remaining tail into a regular thin braid.
   
   
5. We secure it with an elastic band and a bobby pin under the hair.
   
   
   You can not braid the braid, but secure it with an elastic band and pin the free ponytail to the rest of the hair in the right place with a beautiful hairpin.
