Since ancient times, the female braid was not only a symbol of the beauty of its wearer, but also spoke of her vitality, honor. Having passed through the centuries, this type of hairstyle not only has not lost its popularity, but also has gained many new forms. Today, the braid is a fashionable element of the image, which can be part of almost any style. From a conservative classical model to intricate designs braided around the head, the braid always emphasizes individuality and gives femininity to a lady.

Types of braids

There are many varieties of braids. The most popular are species such as French, fishtail, Greek and simple classic. All of them are quite easy to weave and comfortable to wear both on their own and as part of complex hairstyles.

French braid

Such an elegant braid is convenient not only for everyday wear, but also for going out. The world stars have repeatedly proved the latter: Jessica Alba and Amanda Seyfried often appeared on the red carpet with exquisitely collected hair in the manner of a French braid.

You can even braid such a braid to girls with not very thick hair. Due to its airiness and shape, the braided braid will create the necessary volume. Thrown over her shoulder, it will help visually correct a certain asymmetry of the face.

French braid is ideal for creating a romantic image in the style of Provence. It creates the illusion of a light and warm breath of the wind, slightly touching the girl's hair.

In addition, you can use satin ribbons, weaving them into a braid. So you give the hairstyle a festive. And hairpins with rhinestones or stones will perfectly complement such a braid as an element of an evening look.

Scythe "fish tail"

A braid of this type is also called a "mermaid." The bends of its form, easily released strands, playfulness are associated with the grace of the forms of mermaids. Ideally, the fishtail will look on the owners of long and straight hair.

If you have wavy, curly or sparse hair, don’t be upset: the braid adds appeal to any hair and will look more “artistically” on such curls. Thin or affected by various factors (sun, sea water, color, perm) hair gains a second wind in this hairstyle. Deficiencies in the elegant braid will be almost invisible.

The braid “fish tail” will add pretty features to women with a triangular face, make the face more symmetrical. If you want to visually stretch out a wide or round face, it is worth placing the "fish tail" as high as possible on the top of the head. It looks interesting on asymmetrically dyed hair, hair with highlighting or coloring.

The Little Mermaid Spit is a frequent “guest” of the catwalks and red carpet. Especially loves this hairstyle Nicole Kidman. A medium-sized braid, easily thrown onto the shoulder, a pair of elongated strands and bangs, falling in waves on the face - this is the secret of the charm of many stars.

It is also good for children, because it does not compress and do not pull the hair. It is convenient to use it in the gym, because the fair sex tend to look feminine even during training. In addition, all hair will be securely collected. Girls who prefer a strict office style, beautiful braid  will help to "dilute" the image, make it softer.

Simple braid

Scythe can and is called "simple" or classical, but because of this it does not lose its charm. It’s simple according to the weaving mechanisms and the time that the girl spends on him. Most often, such a braid can be seen on young girls. In the morning, when mothers collect girls for school, there is absolutely no time for weaving sophisticated hairstyles. And then this one comes to the rescue simple braid.

Women also weave such a braid, because it performs not only a practical function - to collect hair during work, sports, home cleaning, during sleep, etc. It adds accuracy to the image, balances the image if the other elements (clothing, shoes, accessories, makeup) look too bright.

A simple braid is also used during cosmetic procedures on the hair. After applying a mask or oil, it is categorically not recommended to squeeze hair, squeeze it with an elastic band. Braided braid will not only ensure uniform penetration of nutrients, but also protect against hair loss.

Greek braid

One of the most popular types of braids that smoothly transitions from one fashion season to another is the Greek braid. With its name, it sends to us ancient Greece, at the time of the goddesses and gods. In its form, it resembles a crown that gracefully frames the woman's head.

Its waves run along the forehead, pass neatly on the top of the head, wrap around, like a vine, the whole head. The hairstyle is suitable for absolutely every hair: for thick and thin hair, for smooth and fluffy. Variations of this braid - a huge amount. Here are just a few of them: braided and laid around the head, with the upper weave, braids braided on the sides and connected on the parietal part.

Fashion house Moschino has repeatedly used the Greek braid in the shows of spring-summer collections. Dakota Fanning, Jay Law, Marion Cotillard - these beauties know exactly what zest to add to your image.

Step-by-step instructions for weaving different types of braids

Weave each girl’s own braids. The main thing is to be patient and follow the instructions. It is important to remember that there are some rules that will facilitate independent weaving. So, with independent weaving, the hair will hold perfectly for 2 days after washing, and if they are naughty, constantly fall out of the "braid", it is worth using special styling products - mousses, gels and foams. Wax provides softness and suppleness of hair.

How to braid a French braid

French braid has several varieties. Consider the methods of weaving the most popular types: braid on the side, braid with weaving part of the hair, braid on the contrary.

In order to braid a French braid, in addition to patience, you will need: a massage comb, a comb with a pointed rod at the end, an elastic band for hair, invisible if hair middle length  and strands are pulled out of the hairstyle.

Weave a French braid on its side according to this pattern:

1. Carefully comb the hair, after which we separate the lock of hair from the parting on one side.
2. We divide this part into three equal ones.
3. We begin to weave a pigtail, and after each new round we add a little hair from the extreme strand. Weaving pattern - top-down. Thus, we provide an inconspicuous interweaving of strands.
4. After we have used all the hair on one side, we take the hair that remains, as well as the base of our braid and collect it in the tail with an elastic band.
5. We wrap the base of the tail formed in a strand to hide the elastic.
6. To make the braid airy and voluminous, we draw several thin strands from the total mass of hair. Finally, we decorate the braid with flowers or invisible stones.

There is also a French braid with braided parts of the hair. We braid it according to this instruction:

• As in the previous case, we separate part of the hair and divide it into three equal ones.
• We start weaving, adding a new curl to the upper strand all the time.
• Add as long as our braid "moves" diagonally. If you see that the movement begins vertically, you need to stop adding curls and continue to weave like a normal braid.
• We fix our pigtail at the base with an invisible one. If the hair is naughty, you can fix it with a varnish or a small amount of gel.

In order to braid a French braid on the contrary, you need to follow these recommendations:

1. Separate a small amount of hair above the forehead, divide into three equal parts.
2. We connect the left part of the hair with the middle one and bring it down.
3. Repeat the movement, but with the right strand.
4. Using a thin comb, we separate the curl from the left side (perpendicular to the braid) and add it to the left strand.
5. We do the same with the right side.
6. We continue such movements until free hair remains on both sides.
7. The finished braid can be fixed with a simple rubber band or a beautiful hairpin inlaid with stones.

We braid ourselves a simple braid

A simple braid is the most versatile hairstyle. Therefore, it is especially important to know the principles of its weaving for oneself, as well as for the child. Weave in this order:

• Comb the hair along the entire length and divide them into three parts.
• In the left hand we hold the left part of the hair, in the right - the right.
• Alternately impose the side parts on the middle. The strand from the left hand will remain in the center, and the one that was in the center will move to the left.
• Change the new middle strand on the right. We repeat the movement from the very beginning.
• Be sure to iron the hair during weaving, make sure that they are not confused.

Everyone determines the length of the braid. You can stop in the middle of the hair, leaving a playful ponytail at the end. And you can weave to the very end, crowning the hair with a beautiful decoration at the base.

How to weave a Greek braid

It is easy to make a beautiful braid, like in Aphrodite herself, with your own hands, it is only important to follow the rules, and also to know the secrets of weaving this elegant antique hairstyle. We carry out weaving according to this scheme:

1. Comb your hair well. We divide them into two parts, forming a parting. It can be classic or asymmetric, of your choice.
2. We select a lock of hair on the right side above the ear.
3. We fix the hair on the left side with a hairpin or tie it with an elastic band (thus, they will not interfere with our weaving).
4. The selected part is again divided into three equal. Of these we weave a classic simple braid.
5. In the direction of movement, add curls on the left side, so that our extreme strand is more dense.
6. Thus, we bring our weaving to the right ear.
7. Having reached the ear, we fix the pigtail with other curls.
8. Giving the hairstyle a complete and neat look, we form a bundle at the end that we decorate with accessories.

Braid "fish tail"

To weave this hairstyle, we need a classic set of hairdresser tools: a brush (preferably with natural bristles), elastic bands, hairpins and hairpins, a tool for smoothing hair (or plain water), accessories for decorating hairstyles.

Weave according to this scheme:

• After moisturizing the hair along its entire length, comb it back.
• On both temporal zones we select one strand (width - up to 2.5 cm).
• We bring these strands to the back of the head and bring them down with a cross.
• With one hand we hold crossed strands, and with the other we select a new curl. We cross it over the upper strand of our weaving.
• It is important to keep the center of the weave at the back of the head. We move the weave in the other hand to select a curl from the other temple and place it above the upper strand.
• We repeat these actions until we get to the beginning of hair growth at the neck.
• Now we select the curls from under the tail and cross exactly the same way.
• Having finished the movements, we fix our fishtail braid with an elastic or a hairpin.

The original decoration for the braided braid will be fresh flowers, such as roses. Their buds can be placed asymmetrically along the entire length of the braid. Satin ribbons can be woven into a pigtail and decorated with small hair clips. Such an image will be successful for a feminine photo shoot or publication.

Scythe has a lot of varieties, it is a fashionable attribute. You can easily make such a hairstyle yourself.

The method of weaving braids “half spike”

Braiding for semi-long and long hair looks especially beautiful on fair hair.

The hair is parted from the top of the ear through the crown to the other ear and parted from the center of the forehead to the previous parting. They begin to weave pigtails from the ear “half-ear”, weaving strands from the hairline on the temple to the parting from the middle of the forehead (Fig. 210).

   In the middle, near the central parting, the “half-spikelet” pigtails meet, and the pigtails either are fastened with a clamp, leaving the ends of the weaving freely lying down on the head, or the “half-spikelet” braids are woven into a common braid (Fig. 211). You can braid 2-3 rows of such “half ears” from the ear to the center (Fig. 212).

At more short hairax in the “square” the distance between the rows of weaves is made shorter, while the line of the square is kept below and the hair is bent to the head (Fig. 213). An element of weaving of this type will complement the hairstyle from not very short hair to the shoulders (Fig. 214).
  The braid “half-spikelet” goes from the ear to the center of the crown. Strands of hair are woven from the hairline at a distance of 2 to 5 cm.

You can weave two rows of braids “half spikelets” (Fig. 215 a, 6). The rest of the hair is curled in fluffy strands in the form of a crescent or in curls and laid above the weave (Fig. 215 b).

The flagella from the hair or “karakul” from the strongly twisted flagella of the hair harmonize well — so much that they begin to lie in loops similar to the “astrakhan ″ curl.
  First, 5-6 cm is separated along the hairline and a tail is tied at the crown (Fig. 216), then a braid “half spikelet” is braided from the center of the crown of the head or from the ear (you can also start from the back of the head). Strands of hair are extracted from the “tail”, the hair is twisted and laid over the head. Fasten with invisible.

The size of the flagella can vary - take a strand of hair thicker or thinner, which makes the hairstyle more effective. Such flagella are made of hair 25-30 cm long.

Braiding “Spikelet” and “Half-stripe”

Hairstyles with hair weave type “Spikelet" or " Half stripe”Are not only decorative, but also very comfortable, practical, well preserved all day and do not require care. Therefore, they are often resorted to when working with young clients - children, adolescents, girls.

1. Comb hair.
  2. You need to start weaving with three strands with your forehead, moving to the back of the head and weaving small thin strands to the left and right of the main braid (Fig. 229). Hair length 12-15 cm or more.
  3. You can weave from the back of the head in the direction of the forehead. If the hair is long enough, lay the ends on the crown of the head in curls or secure with a decorative hair clip (Fig. 230).

Weaving technique: half-stripe and spikelet

This weaving with the inclusion of strands on only one side (Fig. 231). Small strands are usually grabbed from the hairline. You can weave from the crown (Fig. 232) down to the hairline, and braid the entire head. Remove the end of the braid under the previous braid or pin it with a decorative hairpin. In fig. 231 shows an embodiment of using ple-Tenia with freely falling hair. The head is divided into strands and each weave is parted from ear to ear and pin with a hairpin.

Variant of braiding Half stripe") from shoulder length and below. The head is divided into several sectors from the center of the crown of the head or crown and weaved using only hair in the sector, braiding strands on only one side (Fig. 233). Then the "half-spike" is reduced to a common braid around the perimeter of the head to the back of the head. In fig. 234 shows some applications of weaving in hairstyles. Weaving begins on the left and right of the ear in the direction of the central parting from the forehead to the back of the head.

At the central parting, the “spikelets” are connected into a common pigtail, fastened with a hairpin or a horizontal parting is made and a second row of “spikelets” is woven. Weave from the ear, first on the left, then on the right thin strands. At the center of weaving are found, and then they are connected into a common braid. They tease with a decorative clip the places of their connection. The ends of the hair are left free. You can make several rows of such weaving, to the bottom of the occipital area, as your imagination and desire of the client suggests. In fig. 235 a, b weaving lead along the perimeter of the head in 2 rows. In the upper zones, air locks are laid. Such a hairstyle can be easily made of short hair up to 10 cm long. The weave is fixed with hairpins or invisible in several places or by means of strong fixation.

At long hair  partings and strands with weaving can be arranged on the crown of the head as shown in Fig. 236 a, b, c, d, d. The arrangement of parting may be different: as your imagination prompts. "Spikelet" - a braid of hair is braided only in the center of the forehead. You can weave braids in all sections of the crown of the head. Fasten with clamps. If the hair is long to the shoulders or lower from the spikelet, weaving goes into a regular braid of three strands. In the occipital zone, three braids are connected into one common braid and fastened with clamps or a bow tied (Fig. 237).

Spikelet weaving can be used with rollers, dividing the head into sectors, as shown in fig. 238 a, b. Fasten the strands on the crown at the base with clamps, and lay the “tails” of the strands in the form of air curls or ropes, folded into “snails” or “columns” if the length of the hair allows. Attachment points are covered with hair or decorative ornaments: flowers, hairpins, veil, ribbons, etc. Such hairstyles are original and beautiful with careful execution.

Weaving "Spikelet" and "Half-stripe"  gives truly inexhaustible scope for your imagination. It can be used along with other elements, for example, with Negro pigtails instead of loose hair, flagella, "astrakhan" curls, etc. Thanks to this, you can create your own version of the hairstyle.

Hairstyle for semi-long hair by twisting strands of hair into bundles.

Comb hair. Separate part of the hair on the crown between the two temporal partings; hair for a bun - you need a forehead. The third parting can pass from ear to ear or closer to the forehead (Fig. 190).
  Divide the hair into strands and comb the hair at the base to increase volume. It is possible to lay on the crown of the hair, without combing, wave (Fig. 191,192).
  The ends of the hair on the crown are pinned into a ponytail and twisted into a braid. Pin the base of the tail with an invisible or hairpin. Tail-harness lead to the right (or left - optional) and attach (fasten) the temporal strand (Fig. 193).

Then lead the end of the tourniquet to the left, lay on the head and screw the hair of the temple on the left, twisting the end of the strand into the tourniquet. Fasten with a hairpin (Fig. 194).
  Harness lead and lay to the right on the head. Separate a new strand of hair to the right of the temporal or lateral strands down. Screw this strand to a previously made harness (Fig. 195).
  Again, lead the tourniquet to the left and, separating the new strand from the left side down, fasten to the general tourniquet - and so on to the bottom of the neck. Fasten the harness with pins and invisibles at points A, B, C, D, D, etc. (Fig. 196).
  At the bottom of the nape, lay the end of the tourniquet with a “snail”, a ring, a curl. If there is a forehead, you need to lay it in bulk, in accordance with the appearance of the person. At the temples below you can leave the pace, curling the pace with forceps in curls. When performing hairstyles for shine, use a modeling spray or other hair styling product.
  This hairstyle is well preserved for a long time (up to several days) in any weather and this hairstyle does not require special care (Fig. 197).

Hair Weave Hairstyles

Hair weaving is used very widely, especially in children's hairstyles. A hairstyle may consist partly of braided hair and partly of hair left loose (Fig. 203).
  Braiding hair "spikelet" begins with three strands - like a normal braid. Strands of hair are separated above the forehead, then small strands are separated from the hairline by left and right, weaving them into a braid (Fig. 204).
  “Half-stripe” also starts from three strands, but the strands are braided only along the hairline, but on the other hand, they are not braided. Part of the hair can be left free. The end of the braid is fixed with a clip, tape, elastic or any decorative hair clip (Fig. 205).

Elements of braiding hair “spikelet” and “half-stripe” are often used in different hairstyles.
  Parting from ear to ear through the crown, part of the hair is separated, which is divided by a central parting from the forehead. From the central parting, the hair is divided into a number of bands by diagonal parting. From these diagonal locks of hair, “half spikelets” are braided to the parting from ear to ear and fastened with small clips. The rest of the hair behind the parting is left free (Fig. 206).
  The hair throughout the head is separated by radial partings from the hairline to the crown and is braided into a “half-strip”. The end of the hair weave goes into a regular thin pigtail. The number of braids is equal to the number of sectors into which the head is divided. Braids are laid in the form of a bundle of air loops and fixed.
  This hairstyle is well preserved for many days. You can wash your hair without braiding. So that the ends of the braids are not braided, they must be fixed with a thread. After the hair dries, the top of the bundle is laid again. The hairstyle is perfect for highly curly black hair. An elastic wire can be woven into a pigtail. She will keep the bend attached to the pigtails, and more firmly maintain the shape of the beam (Fig. 207).

You can create a hairstyle by braiding one or two braids. There are two ways to weave: ordinary and reverse French weaving.
  First we get acquainted with the usual way of weaving. Carefully comb dry or slightly moistened hair in the direction of natural growth and comb it back. Divide the hair into approximately equal strands and start weaving.

Put the left strand on top of the central one, now it will be in the center, put on it the strand that is on the right - this is the basis of the braid.

Now lift the left lock, connect it to a small lock and extend over the central one. Repeat the same procedure with the right strand. Similarly, you need to weave until all hair is braided, and the strands need to be held very tight so that the braid does not fall apart. Then continue weaving in the usual way.

This hairstyle is especially suitable for young girls and girls.
  You can wrap the braid by hiding the protruding ends and fixing it with invisibles.

Women can braid two French braids and fasten them upstairs.

To do this, the hair must be divided into two equal parts along the vertical parting and braided sequentially. Then fix and style in the hairstyle.
  Reverse French weaving is performed so that the braid itself is outward.

In order to perform such weaving, the strands are not placed on the central strand, as in the previous method, but under it.
  One braid can also be braided.
  This version of the French braid will look very impressive.
  Thoroughly comb dry or slightly moistened hair and comb it on the forehead. Divide the hair into three approximately equal parts.
  Take the central part and braid the “French” braid in one of the ways described above. Fix the braid with an elastic band. Gather the rest of the hair on the back of your head, lift it up and shape it in the form of a shell, a roller or a bun.
  Fix the hair with invisible and hairpins. Hairstyle is complete.

This hairstyle looks very impressive and elegant and will allow you to be irresistible at any party and in the theater.

Step 1. Comb all the hair back. To start weaving, separate two thin locks of hair, one from the left temple and one from the right. Each strand should be approximately 2.5 cm thick.

Step 2. Working on the back of the head, cross the strands - right over left.

Step 3. Holding the strands with your right hand and pressing them to the head, grab a new strand from under the left strand with your left hand. The new strand should be the same size as the previous one.

Step 4. Cross the new left strand with the right strand, laying it on top, and press it to the head with your left hand.

Step 5. With your right hand, grab a new strand on the right side. Cross the new right strand with the enlarged left strand, laying it on top, and press it with your right hand to the head.

Step 6. Repeat steps 1-5, braiding the braid to the neck.

Step 7. Continue to weave the “spikelet”, pulling the lower strands from under the “ponytail” and cross them in the center.

Step 8. Secure the ends of the braid with an elastic band.
