Despite its intricate name, this pigtail looks and is created easily, yielding even to beginners in the sphere of hairstyles. It is a regular three-strand braid with the addition of new strands as weaving. In this way, The Greek braid is the epitome of the French braid or the spikelet with some changes.

To create a similar hairstyle You can not resort to the services of a hairdresser, armed with patience and the following tools:

• ridges with different tooth frequencies;
• pile brush;
• hair spray;
• styling mousse;
• silicone transparent elastic bands;

• invisible hairpins;
• clamps;
• studs;
• additional accessories for decoration.

Note that the tools can be changed and supplemented depending on the complexity of the hairstyle, and therefore it is important to know why each tool is needed.

Some masters, who have a knack for braiding, separate the curls with their fingers, determining the desired thickness by eye. Scallop with frequent teeth useful for creating perfectly combed hair. It will also be necessary for smoothing individual hairs and “cocks” in the process of weaving.

Combing hair at the roots will help special comb-brush, as well as a varnish of good fixation. It should be noted that the comb with private teeth perfectly masks the comb, gently smoothing the hair without injuring it. Another useful hair product will be styling gel or mousse. It will help to put in order too fluffy hair, making them tougher and more pliable. Apply the mousse before laying, thoroughly drying the head.

Invisible Hairpins and Studs also able to give a pigtail the desired position. Plastic or metal clips You may need to create complex hairstyles, when only one part of the hair is woven. The rest of the hair at the same time fixed clips, not letting excess curls get into the weave.

For several seasons, the Greek braids have not lost their relevance. Hairdressers find more and more new variations of their use in stylish images, delighting girls not only romantic, but also modern weaving.

Greek braid on its side can be braided on long hair, regardless of their natural density and pomp. Thin hair is tentatively recommended to comb, following further single instructions. The algorithm for creating hairstyles such:

• split the hair on its side into two unequal parts, with most of the hair should be on the usual side for other hairstyles;
• to separate a small strand from the forehead from most of the hair and divide it into three strands;
• start simple weaving to the side with the capture of additional strands from the forehead and crown;
• complete the weaving of the ear and fix the invisible;

• twist the remaining small part of the hair into a tight tourniquet, passing it behind the ear to the fixed braid;
• connect the harness and the braid, continuing the usual three-strand weaving;
• fluff the braid, gently weakening the strands in the weaving;
• fix the hair with lacquer.

The true embodiment of the Greek grace can be considered a braid around the head. It can be executed in three versions.:

• with usual weaving;
• with reverse weaving (inside out);
• of two braids.

It should be noted that the average hair for this option is not suitable, and therefore the braid in the style of the goddess Athena should be made of the longest hair. Step-by-step instructions for making your own hairstyle:

• carefully comb the curls and, if necessary, comb them;
• from the frontal part to separate the strand from the temple and start weaving to another temple;
• weaving hair, alternately seize strands from the forehead and crown;
• braid a French braid or a braid inside out around the entire circumference of the head;

• hide the tip of the Greek braid in the hair, securely fastened stealth and hairpins;

To learn to weave openwork braids, it is enough to have the initial skills of weaving an ordinary three-row braid. It can be braided on the side or on the back. The technique of creating openwork patterns is to draw thin strands from the finished links. The algorithm works for long hair and curls of medium length:

• brush hair;
• start normal or inside out weaving;
• weave should be quite tight;
• having created several links in the spit, stretch thin strands from the outer part of the link on both sides, forming a kind of “openwork web”;

• continue weaving, pulling thin curls;
• fix the finished hair with a rubber band;
• correct the openwork patterns, making sure that they are equal on both sides;
• fix varnish.

For this reason, the openwork hairstyle cannot be used on short hair.

The voluminous Greek braid looks even more attractive and solemn if it is complemented with flowers. Flower arrangements can be ready in the form of hairpins, and can be created from separate strands. In order to make romantic roses out of your own hair, it is enough to have long hair and the skills of weaving an ordinary three-row pigtail.

• braid a regular braid from a separated tail;
• fix the pigtail tip with a rubber band;
• to stretch the links on the one hand, performing the openwork pattern;
• strengthen air bends with varnish;

• twist the braid around the tail so that the openwork of the braid remains on the front side;
• gently straighten the "petals" resulting from the links;
• hide the pigtail tip inside the flower, fixing it with stealth hairpins and hairpins;
• Add decorative details to the core of the flower, for example, a hairpin with a pearl bead.

Such designs perfectly complement the solemn hairstyles and styling, complementing the image with notes of femininity.

A more complicated four-row braid scheme requires some skill, however, having mastered its technique, you can create amazingly beautiful hairstyles suitable for everyday looks and ceremonial meetings. A four-row braid can be made of four equal strands, with a strand-pigtail or with a ribbon.

Algorithm of creation:

• comb your hair thoroughly and moisten it with a spray bottle;
• divide the hair into four strands, the first of which is to tie a thin contrasting tape (the order of the strand is from left to right);
• to hide the knot, it is necessary to strand with the ribbon under the other strands and bring it up to the place of the second strand;
• collect in the hands of 4 strands, one of which is a ribbon;

• hold the right strand under the two nearby strands and bring out the second one;
• additional hair should be added to the extreme left strand from the side of the forehead and held under the two adjacent strands, leading upward to the second of them;
• grab an additional strand from the top of the crown, connect it with the extreme right and hold under two strands, conclusions upward from the second one;
• continue weaving, grabbing extra hair;

• check the correctness of the result, making sure that during the whole weaving the ribbon is located in the center;
• gently pull the side strands, making the braid airy and openwork;
• secure with silicone rubber.

Perhaps these stages are not very clear in theory, however, starting to reproduce this hairstyle, you can after several attempts to achieve accuracy of the braid and its aesthetic appearance.
