Nothing adorns a woman like a stylish and original hairstyle. To create it, it is not necessary to go to the hairdresser, you can do it at home. For example, one of the popular and universal hairstyles is the weaving of two bulky spikelets from the hair. They are very easy to make yourself. The main thing - step by step to follow the instructions.
Features
Spikelet, fishtail or French braid - the original weave that looks on medium and long hair elegantly and stylishly bears such names. This hairstyle, namely 2 spikelets, is suitable for women of all ages and social status. If during Soviet times two braids were associated with childhood or school years, then in modern society such weaving perfectly complements the business and sports style.
Today, in fashion "careless" spikelets with "stretched" strands that will add any image of playfulness and freshness. It should be noted that, by braiding such braids, your hands may “get tired” from “unaccustomed”, and also you will not be able to visually observe the weaving “from behind”. We'll have to check the spit "to the touch."
Two French braids, braided on the sides, look very impressive and completely “open” the face. Thus, such weaving is ideal for women with an oval face shape. Those who have different proportions should competently “work” with the bangs and hide the flaws of the face with it. You can braid two spikelets on both short and long hair. To give the required volume in the hair weave satin ribbon. This will add brightness and originality hairstyle.
Owners of wavy hair, you must first straighten the hair, as the spikelets will look too sloppy.
How to prepare for the process of weaving?
So that the process of creating two braids in French does not drag on, Note the following guidelines:
- be sure to carefully comb your hair and spray it with a special spray;
- Before braiding, the strands can be slightly moistened using a spray gun, or they can be applied with styling agents, such as foam or gel, in which case the spikelets will last much longer;
- straighten wavy hair with the help of “curling”;
- stock up with thin silicone rubber bands (when the spikelets are braided, they can be cut off) and small “crabs” for fixing the strands;
- use a conveniently located mirror, preferably a three-leaved one;
- braid your braids with your thumbs, and with your little fingers, pick up the “extra” curls;
- start the process of creating spikelets in a calm state and do not rush, otherwise you will have to “redo” the spikelets;
- If you are unsure of your own strength and are afraid to spoil your hair, then pre-practice on the hair of a girlfriend or doll.
Important! It is easy to learn how to weave a spike itself; the main thing is to purchase the necessary styling products and follow the instructions step by step.
Weaving patterns
Variants of weaving of spikelets are striking in their diversity and simplicity of execution. For example, the following tools and tools will help us to make two classic spikelets on the sides:
- comb or brush;
- styling agents, for example, foam mousse and varnish;
- hairdresser spray;
- gum or beautiful miniature hairpins.
The process of creating hairstyles includes the following steps:
- carefully comb the hair, slightly moisturize and rub the foam into the hair;
- we make a parting and proceed to weaving the first spikelet;
- The right part of the hair is divided into three small equal strands;
- we impose one on the other and “carry on” weaving to the very ends of the hair; in the process, do not forget to weave hair from the side parts of the head into the spikelet;
- the ends of the first French braid are fixed with a rubber band or barrette;
- proceed to the creation of the second spikelet, by analogy with the first;
- in the final stage we coat hair with hairspray.
Important! Bulk spikelets are obtained by slightly pulling out the individual strands by hand.
To give the French braids easy negligence and novelty, they can be braided inside out (on the contrary). The process is simple, but painstaking and looks like this:
- we divide hair in line of parting;
- on the right side, fix the lock with a hairpin;
- take the right strand and divide it into three parts;
- we begin weaving braids in French (vice versa);
- the tips of the first spike fix with a silicone rubber band;
- weave a spike on the right side by analogy with the previous one;
- slightly pulling some strands to give the required volume.
And also the original hairstyle to create a romantic and gentle image is the so-called Greek braid. She practically “frames” the head and looks very stylish. Such weaving delights others. If you have medium-length hair, you can create a "Greek" braid of two spikelets. We will need the following tools and tools:
- thin plastic comb;
- small "crab" for fixing strands;
- styling products (mousse, hairspray);
- studs and "invisible."
The weaving process is as follows:
- carefully comb the hair, rub the foam and divide into two parts on both sides of the parting;
- weave spikelets on each side (we do not tighten the strands tightly), “adding” strands to the main braids from the side parts, while on the one hand the spikelet should be close to the face; for expressive hairstyle spikelets do as thick as possible;
- in the final stage, we fix the tips of the braids with small rubber bands and create a “crown” of them, which we fasten with studs or invisibles;
- abundantly varnish hair.
If you have medium hair of a small "density", then you should not repudiate fashion trends. You will manage to braid two spikelets with satin or nylon ribbon, which will give your hair the desired volume. So, it is worth taking the following tools:
- thin plastic comb;
- miniature crabs;
- thin gum (2 pieces);
- two satin ribbons of delicate, pastel colors;
- mousse foam or gel.
The following sequence of actions should be followed:
- combing clean hair, divide it into two parts along the parting line and apply special styling products (mousse) on them;
- we begin weaving the first spikelet, weaving the side strands;
- on the second coil we take one ribbon, put it on the inside of the braid and gently weave it;
- in the final stage, fix the first spikelet with a rubber band;
- next, we proceed to the second spikelet of hair - weave it by analogy with the first, weaving another ribbon;
- in the final stage, it is better not to use a lacquer for fixation, it can leave ugly stains on the material of the tapes.
Holders of short hair fit partial weaving of the French braids.
With its help, you can create an amazingly beautiful haircut with flowing hair, which is perfect for important events and will make your image delicate and romantic. We will need tools and tools such as:

- we begin the vertical weaving of a thin spikelet from the side of the right temple, gradually weaving curls from the rest of the hair;
- finish spikelet in the "area" of the cheekbones and fix it invisible;
- We cover abundantly hair with lacquer.
If you have long thick hair, you can make two small spikelets from exclusively “lateral” strands. It is necessary to perform such actions as:
