How to braid the French braid itself?

French braid - one of the most popular hairstyles among women. This type of hair is suitable for a romantic date, business meetings or just for every day. Especially popular with high school and junior high school girls. Such braiding can be seen also on foreign stars, models and even political figures.

A huge selection of wicker braid types will allow to diversify the image and add a “zest” to it. The length of the hair in any case does not matter, because braids can be braided for both long and short hair. Learning how to braid a French braid can be done to oneself without using the services of a hairdresser. It is necessary to strictly follow the patterns and rules of weaving.

Follow a few simple rules to achieve the desired result.

• It is necessary to braid any braid on freshly washed and well-dried hair; if they curl around you, you need to use a round hairbrush when leveling or level them with an ironing device.
• Apply additional hair care products during washing, such as balms, masks, serums and other products, in such a way as to prevent tangling during weaving. To fix the hairstyle, use lacquer, and so that the hair does not stick out and is not disheveled, apply foam or mousse on the hair before weaving.
• Carefully comb your hair - as an assistant, we need a thin plastic comb with a sharp handle in order to pick up auxiliary strands from the total amount of hair.
• Follow the instructions and patterns of weaving, so as not to get confused and achieve the desired result. To secure, do not forget to purchase pins, hairpins, "invisible" or small silicone gum.
• Emphasize the image and highlight your hair will help you different types of accessories. Even if you choose the usual weaving on two sides, it can be used both for a hike on a date, and for a gym or a regular walk - the difference will be only in the presence or absence of the accessory.

There are a lot of options for weaving the French braid. The simplest one, which is also the main one, is a classic French braid.

Before starting, comb your hair well and comb it back. At the forehead, take a small strand of hair and divide it into three equal strands. Cross the three strands cross each other, then to one of the side strands should add a tuft of hair, taken from the same side of the head, and cross with the central strand. Continuing the same sequence, reaching the back of the head, you can continue to weave the braid to the end, securing it with an elastic band, or fix it immediately on the back of your head, leaving the tail.

Following the same pattern, you can braid two identical braids. For this, it is necessary to make a parting from the forehead to the occiput, so that two equal parts are obtained. Fasten one side with a rubber band or “crab” and begin to weave the fluffed part of the hair in the same way as above. When you have finished weaving, fasten with a rubber band and go to the remaining half. Two braids can be fastened in different ways.

• Reaching the back of the head, continue to weave and secure at the end of the rubber bands.
• Reaching the back of the head, immediately secure with rubber bands, while leaving the tails - then they can be curled with a curling iron or hair straightener.
• On the back of your head, connect two braids together: from six you will get three strands and weave a common regular braid, or you can weave a more complex braid of six strands.
• Before reaching the neck, fasten the two tails with rubber bands or join them into one. Wrap loose loose hair or leave it like this.

Step by step we consider the second type of the French braid: reverse or backwards. Many consider it more complex, but do not be so mistaken. The principle of weaving remains the same as that of the classical one, the only difference is that the strands should not be crossed over each other, but below.

First, comb the hair back and at the forehead line separate the hair strand, which must then be divided into three strands. Following the scheme below, get the left strand under the middle one, then under it you should put the right strand of hair. In the next step to the left and right strands do not forget to pick up with the aid of the tip of the comb or with your finger identical tufts of hair and cross them under the middle strand. When completed, secure with a rubber band.

Such weaving is peculiar to stretching along the entire length of the braid, which will give the hairstyle an unreal volume and lightness. This weaving will look good on corrugated hair, your look will become more unusual and fabulous.

In addition to these options, there is an option in the form of a zigzag. For this case, divide the hair into three parts (upper, middle and lower). Braiding the upper part and going to the middle, do not forget to expand the direction of braiding the braids in the opposite direction and continue in the same way. Reaching the bottom, again change direction. Having finished braiding your hair, fasten with a rubber band and pull up the strands a little.

A great option for hairstyles for every day or even for special events. This name is due to its similarity with the waterfall.

So, combing your hair, divide them into a side parting, you can weave both from left to right and vice versa. Take a strand at the temporal part of the head, divide it into three strands and begin to weave like a regular braid, only the upper strand after it has been used, release it down. Continuing the weaving scheme, do not forget to add the same bundles of hair only to the top strand, after finishing - fasten it with an elastic band or some beautiful hair clip, a “crab”.

She was also called “braid-chain”, it is suitable only for long or medium-length hair.

Comb your hair back and take a small bunch of hair on the top of the head, divide it into three strands and cross it with each other, put the left strand on the central one, then the right one - similarly. Then add a separated tuft of hair at the temples to the left strand and place it on the central, right weave without additions. In the next step, twist the left strand without adding, then to the right strand, adding a bundle at the right temporal part, place it on the central strand. Repeat this sequence until the end of weaving, secure with a rubber band.

This hairstyle can be braided not only by the classical method, but also according to the scheme of a curl around it - then the pigtail in the middle will be convex and more voluminous, such weaving can be applied on the tail.

In turn, this type of spit is also gaining momentum in popularity.With this method you can remove a bored or regrown bang without heavy effort.

Weaving is very similar to the usual classic, the only difference is that we will add strands of hair only from the bottom. To do this, take a strand of hair from bangs, divide it into three strands and begin to bind them in a already known way; then, to the bottom strand below, pick up an additional bundle of hair from the bang and put it over the middle one, then weave the top strand without adding. Finish weaving can be in the ear and secure with a rubber band or invisible.

You can continue to weave without adding strands - just in the usual way weave a pigtail, and from the remaining hair, make a tail. Wrap the tail of a pigtail, securing it invisible, so it will be possible to hide the gum.

According to the same scheme, you can weave a slightly different bezel with a slight difference: you must now add strands of hair not from below, but from above. In turn, such weaving can be woven along the entire length, only on the bang or to the middle of the head.

Recently, weaving of a braid with elastic bands has become a common weaving. This is the fastest and simplest variant of weaving both on thick and thin hair. For weaving we need elastic bands: usually use silicone to match hair color, so that it is easier to hide them.

Consider the step-by-step instruction of the French braid with rubber bands.

• Comb all your hair back.
• Take a small piece of hair from the top and tie up the tail with a rubber band.
• Separate a small bundle of hair from the tail and wrap around it, hiding the end and securing it with an invisible one.
• Slightly below the already knotted tail, separate the part of the hair and also tie a tail.
• Divide the upper tail into two equal parts and skip them under the second tail.
• For convenience, lift the second tail so as not to interfere.
• Then separate the part of the hair from the head and tie up the third tail.
• Release the second tail, dividing it in half, skip under the third tail.
• Repeat with the third tail the same as with the second, removing it upward.
• Repeat this until the end of the hair. When finished, secure with a rubber band, and then gently begin to stretch the hair strands to hide the elastic bands.

There is a similar variant of the French braid - weaving with elastic bands in the form of hearts. Both species are similar in pattern, but with a slight difference.

• Comb the hair back, then separate the small strand and tie the tail.
• Tie the knotted tail above the rubber band in half and turn it inwards.
• Then separate the next part of the hair from one side and the other, capturing the hair from the first tail, tie it with an elastic band.
• Again, dividing a part of the upper tail in half (a hole is formed), turn the entire tail into it.
• Continue this until the end. Having turned the last tail, stretch the inner strands of hair with your fingers, giving it a heart shape.
