Pigtail "Fishtail"

In common people, this hairstyle is also called "spikelet". This is a great option for long, straight curls. It consists of small small strands that closely nestle one against the other, and is somewhat reminiscent of a fish's tail, where this name comes from.

4. Then we take the right strand and overlap the left side;
5. And so we continue to weave to the end, along the entire length;
6. We fix it with an elastic band.

This hairstyle looks very neat and extravagant.

Harnesses

French braid

The French braid is one of the original weaving techniques. Today it is a very fashionable and stylish weaving that most girls like. It can be used every day, when you go to a party or a business meeting. There is a wide variety of its types, allowing you to create a unique stylish image. It is also suitable for short haircuts, but not shorter than a square.

Instructions for execution

1. It is necessary to carefully comb the curls so that they do not get confused. If they are very naughty, you can use styling products (wax, mousse, gels), they will make the hair more pliable and soft;
2. We take a rather large strand from the parietal part of the head, divide it into 3 identical strands;
3. Then we drag the right part to the middle strand, and the left to the middle one, and weave it;
4. It is necessary to hold the strands tightly so that they do not fall apart. And so we shift one by one to the central extreme strands, gradually weaving all the remaining curls to the end;
5. At the end, we fix it with a hair clip or elastic band.

This hairstyle is comfortable to weave on another person. It's a little difficult on yourself, because you rely only on your hands, and they get tired quickly by weight, and your hands are also your eyes.

Reverse French braid

This technique is similar to a classic braid, only you need to braid it, pulling the strands down. Such a braid will look especially impressive when the strands are pulled out in volume. More details on the weaving technique in the video:

It is also quite fashionable now to wear carelessly neat curls. Therefore, we can make our pigtail a little disheveled. We weave an ordinary French braid and gradually pull the strands to the side from the bottom up.

French braid with ribbon

It looks very elegant with ribbons of any material and any thickness, but a bright satin ribbon will shine especially effectively, and on ordinary everyday life it is better to choose calm shades, depending on the color of clothes or eyes.

Spit-waterfall

This hairstyle is good to braid with curly curls, here it will look just great. The waterfall is a romantic kind of weaving, it gives a certain airiness. Unlike the French braid, this method is woven in such a way, one part forms a braid, and the other falls in curls, like separate trickles of water. It will look great on tinted and highlighted hair, they will favorably emphasize the pattern of the strands and create an unusual effect.

Instructions for execution

1. We comb the curls well so that they do not get confused;
2. It is necessary to make an oblique deep parting and separate a strand near the temple, divide it into 3 identical parts;
3. И weave an ordinary pigtail, only the lower ones will be released. And instead of the released one, we take the next new strand from the upper part, and so moving along the entire head;
4. It is necessary to firmly fix the weaving, take one of the curls above the ear;
5. We continue: leave the upper part at the bottom, and then release;
6. We finish our waterfall in the opposite side of the temple;
7. At the end, we tie it with an inconspicuous elastic band or invisible, if desired, you can sprinkle it with varnish.

Spit-waterfall is perfect for casual and evening hairstyles. "Waterfall" can also be done in two tiers, it is necessary to repeat the weaving on the bottom row a second time.

Braid basket

"Basket" is a rather popular type of braids, the basis is that all curls are collected neatly around the head. This is a more difficult level of weaving. A basket braid can be made for children in school or kindergarten, weaving tightly so that it does not fall apart. Older girls can braid tight, as well as looser types of baskets. It will look very nice at weddings, in this case, you can decorate with bright flowers or other elegant paraphernalia.

The "basket" can be braided like a headband or evenly laid over the entire head.

Instructions for execution

1. Separate the curls and create a parting in a circle;
2. We collect the selected part on the crown in a tail, fixing it with a small elastic band;
3. From those strands that remain behind the tail, we will weave a pigtail, into which we add a strand over and over again, pulling out of the tail;
4. And so we weave around the whole circle of the head;
5. We add to the end of the length of the hair, tie it with a transparent silicone rubber band and hide it inside.

[tds_note]The basket will look very original if you weave a ribbon into it, you can weave it completely, or you can let it fall on your shoulders. A colorful ribbon will accentuate the hairstyle and emphasize its elegance.[/tds_note]

Scythe beard

Another option for independent beautiful weaving for long hair without effort is a beard braid. This name was given due to the fact that weaving begins in front under the chin, as if it visually braids a beard of hair, and after the end, the braid only needs to be thrown back.

There are a huge number of types of braiding, and many of them need the hand of a professional. But there is also a considerable number that can be done on your own, as they say "there would be desire" and patience. At first glance, many types of braids seem complicated, and when you see the weaving technique, everything becomes clear. So do not be afraid to experiment, learn from yourself, from your children or friends, and you will succeed. Be beautiful and attractive.
