If you learn the basic techniques of weaving the braid, then the technique can be further varied. With the invention of new hair accessories, an ordinary spikelet can be easily modified without being inferior in beauty to even the most complex hairstyles.
Classic option
Spike trudges in a simple pattern.
- We select a strand of medium size on the crown, divide it into 3 parts and weave a braid according to the scheme.
- Gradually, additional strands should be added to the main spit. They are captured on the sides of the unused mass of hair.
- We collect all the loose hair in a single braid, weave to the base of the neck.
- We finish the weaving in the technique of a three-strand braid. This is a fairly simple way of weaving, most importantly, fast.
- The end of the braid can be wrapped inside, pinned with pins.
- You can decorate the braid with flowers.
The classic spikelet has a look like french spikelet. There are quite a few varieties in names and techniques, however, hairdressers recommend weaving such a braid with thin strands. So it turns out longer in time, but it looks elegant.
The classic weaving of the French braid is in a few simple steps. Weave from the very top of the head. According to the technique of execution, it is close to the classical spit, but has its own peculiarity. For such weaving of the French spike, not only 3 strands of hair are needed, it is also required to add thin strands of equal thickness on each side. This braid turns strong and interesting. This option is popular with athletes.
Spit in style "fish tail" always spectacular, and weave it pretty easy.
An example of weaving from the back of the head:
- hair divided into 2 parts;
- on the left next to the ear, separate the strand, transfer it to the right side;
- near the right ear, take a strand, direct it to the left side;
- we alternate the previous steps to complete the weaving;
- fix the result with a rubber band.
To complicate this weaving can be done by mixing, for example, we weave a French braid first, then a fishtail.
An elegant option for parties and gala dinners can be a spikelet with a ribbon. You can easily braid it yourself. We braid the braid with a ribbon vertically or to the side.
Step by step instructions include a number of steps.
- We apply mousse on hair.
- At the top we separate a bunch of hair. If we make it thinner, the braid will be thicker towards the neck. Take more hair - weaving will be uniform throughout the length.
- The resulting bundle is divided into 3 equal parts, we attach the tape to the middle strand. Additional locks we take the same size.
- The first strands are joined like in a usual spikelet: we put the right strand on the middle one, and put the left one on top. Ribbon weave in accordance with the planned pattern.
- Left hand hold the left and middle strands. Separate the hair strand from the opposite side with the right hand. It must be connected to the right side of the main weave.
- Weave the obtained strand into a spike according to the principle of ordinary weaving.
- We hold 3 strands with our right hand, with our left hand we separate a new strand from the left side.
- We connect it with the left strand of the braid, then we shift it to the middle part.
- We continue weaving, grabbing strands from the main mass of hair on the right and left side. Between them, do not forget to weave a beautiful ribbon.
- All hair is woven into one braid, we get 3 strands with a ribbon, which we weave an ordinary spikelet, the end is fixed with an elastic band.
For hair, the length of the strands of 15 cm, you can also use the spike hairstyle. Artificial strands can be added to short hair. They will give density to hair, length, the main thing, it is easy to work with them. If the length of hair is only 4 cm, then you can braid African braids.
According to the simple and fast in the execution of the scheme we make ears of tails:
- we select locks on the top of the head, we collect in the tail;
- under him do another tail;
- we divide the upper into two parts;
- we get it under the lower tail from two sides, we raise the tail;
- we make one more tail from the left and right locks and the halves of the upper tail;
- take the top bundle, divide in half, then weave with new strands into the next;
- According to this algorithm, we work to the end.
Even a simple spikelet can remain neat and beautiful for a long time, if you follow several rules.
- A free braid is braided so that the hair looks thicker.
- Thin strands of hair are better dressed with the help of the sharp part of the comb.
- The volume of the spit will give artificial strands. Often this technique is used for evening and wedding hairstyles.
- Additional strands are collected parallel to the braid, this is how a neat hairstyle turns out.
- Fix hair can be using mousses, gels and varnishes.
There are quite a few variants of weaving of the spike; we will consider them below.
Reverse braid
The reverse French braid has become popular in our country over the past ten years. With her hair looks stylish, original. Weaving takes more time than the usual option, but the effort is worth it. This pattern is different in that the curls go down.
Technique:
- hair on the top divided by 3 strands of the same size;
- the first strand on the left is skipped between the rest;
- do the same on the right;
- place the middle strand between the left and right, additionally grab a part of the hair on the left side and add them to the weave;
- we do the same on the right;
- spike under the scheme weave to the neck;
- we finish with the usual oblique, fasten with a rubber band.
In order for the hairstyle to be neat and beautiful, we seize strands of additional hair of the same thickness on both sides.
If you make this variant of weaving on your own, without any help, then you can sit between two mirrors so that you can see the whole process of work.
An interesting modification of this hairstyle is the double spikelet. He becomes popular in modern fashion trends.
We give a step by step instructions.

- Separate a small bundle from the main strand, we pin it with a clip. We do more hair pickup, weave a braid under the bottom. In the same way, we perform actions on the other hand.
- Weave about 1/3 part, then gently begin to pull the curls over the edges. It is better to do it right away, because at the end of weaving it will be quite difficult to do this stretching. Weave on the scheme.
- When additional strands end, weave a regular spikelet, select, we pin curls. End fix the clip.

It should be noted that such a spit is prone to quickly disintegrate, therefore, before weaving, a fixing agent is applied to the hair. Spit better weave on "dirty" hair, which is used as a method of fixation.
