Weaving traditional French braid

The technique of the classic spikelet is quite simple - it is enough to have experience in manipulating strands and knitting. Even many fathers, according to my mother's instructions, often had to weave spikes to their daughters, collecting them for classes and a kindergarten.

Before weaving, you need to determine the tool. So, for work it is possible to use a usual comb, but a hairdresser's version with a sharp handle will greatly facilitate the process. If your head of hair is a fluffy and naughty, do not forget to wet it a little before you start.

1. On the combed hair, separate the upper strand and divide it into 3 equal parts.
2. Next we begin the braiding of the standard braid.
3. After a few interlaces, start in turns to add to the strings small curls from the sides.
4. After all the strands are neatly assembled into a single braid, weave continues according to the standard pattern.
5. The end is fixed with an elastic band, hair clip or ribbon.

The final result can not but please.

Secrets of beautiful hair to create the perfect hairstyle

Braids braid on clean hair, and for this they must be thoroughly washed, but do not overdo it. A large amount of shampoo dries our curls drastically, thus making them brittle and dull. To avoid the detrimental effect of detergents on the beauty of hair, before washing, dilute a teaspoon of shampoo in a glass of water.

Be sure to rinse your hair: first with warm water, then cool, to close the scales and give them a smoothness.

Spend drying only in a sparing mode, otherwise following the two previous tips is meaningless. Also it is not recommended to grind and even more so to curl the curls with a towel.

Do not brush your hair wet. If their length is more than 15 cm, then you need to start from the ends gradually moving to the roots.

No matter how strong the desire to braid a pigtail, wait until the strands dry up completely. If in the process of braiding the hair is shaken, then use literally a drop of cosmetic oil. Rub it between your hands and apply along the length. An alternative option will be the use of moisturizing hand cream. Do not worry, the hair will not become fat, but will only get the desired shape.

Following these tips, you can safely experiment with different weaves and create neat hairstyles.

Conclusion

It is a mistake to believe that the French braid is braided solely on medium-length hair. Holders of short haircuts can also try to make similar hairstyles. Moreover, there are many variants of braiding the French braid over the length of the square. But if your hair is as short as possible, then try to use the stapling means of strong fixation during the process. In general, do not worry, but experiment!
