African braids zizi are becoming more popular among lovers of non-standard and extravagant experiments with hair.

Zizi can be created on hair length of at least 20 cm, otherwise the effect of the hairstyle will be lost.

Methods of creation

The braids of zizi are created in two ways: a point method and braiding through a brad.

1. Point zizi are woven into short hair from 3 cm. Separate are strands, to which are attached two braids. By the technology of weaving, one part of the braids is fixed at the roots to give volume, while the rest are intertwined with natural locks along the entire length and fixed by a special knot.

2. Technology of weaving through brad is practiced only on long hair (from 15-20 cm and more). This method involves the use of one bundle of kanekalon (a special material identical to natural hair, from seaweed) of the appropriate color. Zizi-pigtails are fixed on a brad, either passing through it, or weaving.

Types of weaving

Corrugated zizi are similar to folds of corrugated material, hence the name. This variation looks magnificent, airy and is intended for lovers of voluminous designs of hair. The advantage of the corrugated board is that they do not crumple and have a very neat appearance.

Straight Afrocos look like a classic weave. They require for their manufacture a minimum of time and effort. These are smooth, smooth, symmetrical braids not more than 4 cm in thickness. If desired, they can be curled with iron or curling iron. The advantage of straight zizi is their resistance to deformation and a magnificent appearance over time.

Wavy braids zizi (reviews about them are extremely positive) are designed for those who are hopelessly in love with curls in their various manifestations. To recreate the zizi-wave hair, get already curled items in the store or ask the master to braid the strands with a large wave. Pay attention also to wavy pigtails with wet chemistry.

Pigtail care rules

Care for such a hairdo does not represent anything complicated and supernatural, as it may seem at first glance. Washing the head 1-2 times a week with a mixture of water and shampoo. Apply the product should only on the roots and roots of hair, not distributing it along the entire length. It is not recommended to use drying with a hair dryer, since it can negatively affect the appearance of the strands.
