Braiding

Braid on long hair. Patterns of braiding braids for long hair.

Our daughters grow up so quickly, then it remains only to remember what braids their mothers braided. If a girl kept her hair long, one can only rejoice at her relatives and even be proud of her, and her friends who cut their curls should be a little envious.

The most beautiful legends go about long-haired girls, but who would know how much care such a hair requires! On the one hand: to be able to braid in different ways long hair  - This is great, but on the other hand, help from a friend or mother is often required. Consider the options for weaving long girl hair.

The simplest and most beautiful weave of long hair

The most simple braid  on three strands, which also may not work right away. Weaves from all hair divided into three parts of equal size. We start with the left strand, which is thrown over the middle. The left one becomes middle, we throw the right part of the hair through it. Now she is in the center. And on it we again lay the left (once former central).

So repeat until the bulk of the hair is not woven. We leave an acceptable end of the braid, tie a ribbon. It is better to run the tape into a braid of centimeters ten to fifteen before the end of the braid, dividing the tape into two equal parts by folding in the middle of the length. We hide the middle “behind the back” of the braid, and fold the two sides of the tape and weave it with the left and right strands. So the braid will be stronger, and the ribbon, even if the bow is untied, will not allow the braid to open. Before you tie a bow, wrap the braid in a ring and tie the ribbon just like that, and only then on the bow.


Spikelet - popular weave for long hair

It differs from simple three-strand weaving, which begins with the forehead and crown. Hair is also divided into three parts, only the bangs are lowered to the forehead, not taking part in the process. Each time you place it on top of the middle, we grab a new part of the hair to the left or right of the available on the sides, thus weaving hair from the entire crown when the braid reaches the end of the head. It weaves like a regular three-strand.

You can fix the braid with a beautiful rubber band. Using not all hair, you can braid three or four spikelets that meet each other anywhere in the head, going from top to bottom. This is done in order to remove, for example, knocking strands from the temples and give the head a more accurate look. And it’s possible to make a bohemian careless “mohawk” out of a classic spikelet if you do not specifically pull out several strands in certain places not for the entire length.


French weave  on long hair

The strands are not stacked on top of the central one, but are passed from below, the braid has a certain volume and looks spectacular. If such a pigtail is woven not in the center, but from left to right and from top to bottom, as if diagonally, it will look like a beautiful rim. You can braid from ear to ear without touching the hair left behind loose, you can thus weave in a circle, fixing the end of the braid in the center of the crown, repeatedly wrapping around the head or in any place where it ended if the hair is not so long. From the French braid, you can make a crown around the head and decorate it with inserted flowers.

Fishtail weave  on long hair

The meaning of weaving such a braid is to twist the flagella counterclockwise from the left and right strands, and then connect them. Twisting with each other is already counterclockwise, and so on, until all the more and more strands involved are over. Not all hair can be woven, leaving some loose and loose.


Weaving waterfall

Weaves on the principle of the same ordinary braid, the only difference is that the braid is located diagonally and then, as it were, surrounds the head from behind. Three strands are selected from the hair at the temple, Each new added strand is woven instead of the one that goes down freely. And so every time: instead of one of the existing ones, a new one is picked up. The free ends formed can be left straight, or curled.

And other magical hairstyles of fairies and princesses ... The possibilities of braiding from long hair are inexhaustible: flagella, spirals, braid of four to five strands, braid pretzel, braid in a braid, side braids, braids laid on the back of the head in the form of a heart and so on. The main thing that you need to remember: the hair should be clean and well combed, but if you make a hairstyle from braids and their combinations with loose hair, you can use hair spray, fixing the released and weakly woven strands.

Very long hair can be worn loose only on holidays. But on other days they can be plaited into a wide variety of braids, which are in the trend for more than one year in a row and are not going to lose their positions. Long hair in the hands of the master turns into a work of hairdressing. But even simple weaving allows you to create original styling.

The easiest braiding patterns

Let's start with the most ordinary braid, consisting of three strands. Such pigtails easily braid even men to their daughters after several workouts. To braid such a braid, you need to comb your hair well so that they do not get tangled, but glide smoothly. Divide the entire mass of hair into three equal parts. Then weave braids, shifting the strands according to the scheme.

We shift the left strand to the center on top of the central strand. The next step is to shift the right strand to the center on top of the central strand. In this case, the central strand every time becomes extreme. Weave until 10-15 centimeters remain until the end of the hair. We fix the end with an elastic band or a hairpin.

The usual three-strand braid only seems boring at first glance. Take a look at the hairstyles in the photo. These are just isolated examples of how to use a regular braid to diversify your hair style.



The next way to braid long hair is a braid “spikelet” or “dragon”. The braid weaves, starting with the fronto-parietal zone. A strand of hair is separated, as a rule, it is a long bang. Combed hair is divided into three strands. Hair is shifted, as when weaving a normal braid. The difference is that each time, shifting the extreme strand to the center, a small new strand is added to it, which is picked up from the side.



A braid is braided until all the hair from the sides is woven into a braid. Next, an ordinary braid of three strands is braided or the tail is fixed with an elastic or a hairpin.


A spikelet lifts the hair on the top of the head, creates volume, is very comfortable, so it never goes out of style.


A more complex, but very spectacular braid is French. Sometimes the French scythe is called the "dragon" described above. We will mean by the French braid an inverted braid, the braid on the contrary. Weaving such a braid is not difficult if you practice a little.

Just like a “spikelet”, this braid is woven starting from the forehead or crown, and strands from the sides are gradually picked up to the main strands. The difference is that in the "spikelet" the strands are shifted to the center on top of the central strand, and in the French braid - underneath. As a result, it seems that the braid lies on top of the hair, as if braiding a normal braid and laid on the head with hairpins.


Both the spikelet and the French braid can be woven not only in the center of the head, but also diagonally, in a circle, then it seems that this is not a braid, but a rim made of natural hair. In zigzags, you can braid not one, but two braids.


“From left to right: a French braid in the center, two French braids, a braid across”


"French braid, braided in a circle"

The most fashionable fishtail braid to date. It is very easy to weave, looks stylish. A braid does not require perfectly smooth hair. It can be worn on hair trimmed in a cascade, knocking out strands only add to its charm.


Another interesting and simple weaving is a waterfall. The braid is located across the head or diagonally. At the temple three strands are separated. An ordinary braid weaves. At the same time, a new strand is added to the upper strand each time. The resulting strand does not further interweave, but falls down. Instead, she picks up a new strand of hair from below.


If individual strands are curled with a curling iron, a very feminine beautiful hairstyle is obtained that resembles flowing water jets, hence the name of the braid.

Long straight hair can be braided to mimic a slanting bang. To do this, use the "spikelet" technique. On the one hand, a new strand is picked up in a strand each time, on the other hand, no. As a result, the braid runs along the edge, as if framing a slanting bang.

On the basis of the French braid, hairdressers create real masterpieces.



The French braid, braided on its side, looks amazing, striking in volume. Although, in fact, to create voluminous braids it is not at all necessary to have very thick hair. After the braid is braided, it is necessary to pull the locks in different directions, loosening the weave.


To make openwork braids, you need to braid the braid in the usual way, and then pull out thin individual strands. Fix with varnish so that the hair does not further disheveled on its own.



Any most difficult hairstyle consists of simple steps. Having mastered the basic weaving of simple braids and showing a little fiction and imagination, you can easily create unique styling, striking others with a creative approach and impeccable appearance.
