How to braid spikelets

Today the "Kolosok" hairstyles differ from their ancestor - a simple openwork pigtail - by a wide variety of ways of weaving and variations in the laying patterns of the braids themselves and loose curls.

Every girl should know the braid of spikelets, even if she is not a fan of this hairstyle. Sometimes there are situations when this particular way of laying can become a real salvation: you will achieve a double goal - remove the interfering hair and create a romantic image. Such hairstyles are simply necessary, when there is no time to create complex folds, but you need to look different from everyday life.

How to braid spikelets in a classic performance

First you need to prepare the hair, treating them with a strengthening care product, so that they are even, obedient and do not disintegrate. You can start the weaving directly from the line of hair growth on your forehead, or you can retreat from it by ten sentiment. A wide central strand of hair separates in the center of the head. From it begins to plait an ordinary braid of three strands, but only one cycle is made: the central strand once crosses with the side (first with the right, then with the left).

Further weaving will differ from a simple braid, because lateral strands will be added to it, left beforehand on both sides. Crossing the center with each subsequent lateral strand, add to it strands from the lateral sectors: to the right strand - from the temporal zone to the right, to the left, respectively, - to the left. Continue the weaving to the back of the head. To prevent strands from getting out of the main braid, tighten them well during the weaving and smooth them with your fingers, and then weave them into your hair. Secure the ear with a barrette or elastic band.

How to prick the ear around the head

We need to start the weaving in the area of the right temple, directing the braid down, leading it round in a circle to the left temple, then continuing the weaving around the face. Additional strands to the spit can be taken both from both sides of the braid, and only with one (outer). The thinner the strands are, the more graceful the hair will be.

How to braid spikelets "zigzag"

To make the braid turn out in the form of a broken zigzag, it should be started to weave slightly above the right ear, leading the braid to the left and adding additional strands first only to the right side. Make five crosses, then turn the weave in the opposite direction (to the right) and make five more crossings, adding extra strands to the left side of the pigtail. Bends are made until the length of the hair ends.

The reverse French pigtail looks more expressive and bright. It is woven exactly according to the same principle as the classical one, only strands are not superimposed on each other, but are placed underneath. So the braid becomes convex, embossed.

How to braid spikelets with a volume effect

"Disheveled spikelet" is also created from the classical French braid. From the braided spike, fixed with an elastic band, it is necessary, starting from the bottom, from the clamp, to begin to stretch the parts of the braces, weakening the weaving. It is important to weaken not the braid itself, but only parts of the strands, stretching them slightly apart from the main spikelet. So he can give a beautiful volume, making a wide and openwork.

How to sprout the spike "fish tail"

Hair is divided into two parts by a vertical parting. On one (any) side, a small strand is taken and is tossed over all the hair to the opposite half. Then the step is repeated in relation to the other half of the hair in a mirror image. Similarly, all the strands are braided, the braid is fastened with a decorative clamp.

It is not difficult to grind the spikelets, however, in order to achieve perfect hairstyles, you will first have to practice. Mastery is not developed immediately, but if you want, you can learn how to create any stitching using the spikelets in a matter of minutes.
