For centuries, braiding has helped women with long hair to have a well-groomed and beautiful head. Pigtails come in different types, which allows everyone to choose an option that will fit the personality and style of clothing. At the same time, the hair, gathered in a braid, opens the back and neck line, which favorably emphasizes their shape. Plus, a woman feels comfortable even in very intense heat. So, what are the common types of braids, and what is the technique for performing them?
Instructions
Step 1
Classic. Almost every woman can braid an ordinary pigtail. So, all the hair needs to be collected in a high ponytail and divided into three even parts. Then put the right strand on the middle one, as a result of which it will be between the left and middle strands. Now it's the turn of the left strand. Place it on a strand in the middle so that it fits between the right and middle strands. Now continue braiding, laying the strands in turn, and when the hair is braided to the end, secure the braid with an elastic band or hair clip.
Step 2
Spikelet. This type of weaving reminds us of our favorite cereal. So, comb your hair back and separate a thin strand on each side. Then cross them so that the right strand lies over the left. On the left side, grab another thin strand and lay it on the right crosswise. Now separate the thin strand from the right side and start alternating the strands, repeating all the above steps, until you finish weaving. Braid tightly, then the braid will look neat.
Step 3
Spit from France. The French braid is loved and respected by many. You can weave it in different ways, but it looks quite impressive. And although it is difficult to weave, it does not stop anyone. So, separate the small strand at the top of the head and divide it into three parts. Braid in the same way as you would a regular braid, make some weaves and start braiding the remaining hair. To do this, again separate the strand of hair on the left and throw it over the middle section of the hair to the right. Repeat the same with the right side and continue weaving, alternately adding strands on each side.
Step 4
Oriental braids. In the east, it is popular to braid 30-40 braids at once, the main thing is to make sure that they are the same. African braids are becoming very popular, as braiding them saves time and does not waste it on daily styling. And this hairstyle gives the hair a well-groomed and fashionable look. African braids are woven from the client's hair or from artificial strands. The hair on the head is divided into square sections, artificial strands are attached with a special knot, and the shape of the braids is round or flat. The end of each pigtail is sealed using a special apparatus. After weaving, the master talks about caring for such a hairstyle. Unwind them at any time at the request of the client, only regrown hair roots require monthly correction. That's it, alternating, combining and combining, you can come up with your own masterpieces of hairdressing art!
