How to braid spike itself?

Hair spikelet - this is one of the most popular design options for a beautiful head. The origins of this type of weaving can be traced in ancient Egypt, and the hairstyle has found its modern name, once in France. Cone is suitable for everyday wear and for ceremonial social events.

Learning to braid a spike to itself is not difficult. After studying this technique, you will look perfect every day without the help of a hairdresser, regardless of whether your hair is short, medium or long. But before you start creating hair, you need to prepare your hair: they must be washed, shining, even, without damaged ends.

To weave a pigtail is recommended according to a specific pattern.

• Good to comb curls.
• To keep the braid for a long time, and in the process of creating it, there were no cocks, it is recommended to apply a small amount of foam onto the hair. If it was not at hand, you can splash the hair with water from a spray bottle. Thus, the strands will be smooth, will fit well in the hand, not to be confused and not electrified.
• If you are the owner of wavy hair, then before weaving them it is necessary to smooth the ironing, then the process of creating the spikelet will be easier and more convenient.
• On temechke divide the hair into three equal parts.

• Spinning from the left side to stretch under the middle, then under the right.
• Curl, which was the extreme right, make the middle.
• To weave the hair from the edges into the central strand. It is important that the hair picked up be the same size.

• Make a side strand central, weave in her hair from the sides.
• Repeat the preceding paragraphs until there is loose hair on the sides.

• Paddle the spike, like a classic braid, and secure with a rubber band.
• Owners of short hair are recommended to create a spikelet according to the above scheme. One classic pigtail, braided on the entire length of the hair or only to the middle, will give the image of seductiveness. You can decorate your hair with hairpins and rubber bands with floral elements, for example, with lilac, rowan or even a real flower.

You can make a hair of several braids. It will look very impressive, as well as provide an opportunity for others to admire the beautiful neck of its owner.

• Parting, thus dividing the entire head of hair in half, and comb the hair. Evenness when creating parting will help achieve a comb with a pointed tail.
• To facilitate work with hair and to avoid the formation of “cocks”, it is recommended to lightly grease the hair with grape oil or wax.
• Separate the hair from ear to forehead on one side of the head. From the resulting mass to separate the thin strand (the thinner it will be, the more openwork and more elegant weave, in addition, it is easier to work with thin strands).
• Using two fingers (second and third) to divide the separated strand into three equal shares.
• Side curls to get under the middle strand. To hairstyle turned volumetric, strands are not recommended to tighten tightly.

• Strands on top and bottom are folded together, braiding a pigtail, taking two strands as a basis.
• While the spikelet is woven, the free curl should intersect with the central strand all the time.
• When the spikelet is woven on the right, the strand should be picked up with the appropriate hand, and the position of the opposite hand should fall on the first right finger. All other operations are performed by the hand on the left side of the head.

• From the hair from the right side to separate a small curl. Put on the third finger of the nearest hand, and get this strand under the right extreme. Under this added strand to bring one more, separated from the right side.
• The braid on the other side of the head is woven in the same way.
• The hair on the left is followed by the fingers of the same hand (with all but the first).

• The fingers of the right hand (second or third) separate a small strand from the hair to the left of the head. The first and second fingers of the left hand help. Further, the curl is shifted to the opposite hand.
• The side curl on the right is slightly pushed back and held with an appropriate hand.
• From the edge of the loose hair, located on the right side of the head, separate the strand and put it to the left strand.

You can add strands in several ways:

• select a strand from the bulk of the hair, put and enter into the main strand of loose hair;
• separate a small strand from the bulk of the hair, add a strand of the remaining hair, and then insert it under the central strand.

Weaving a braid on the left side of the head, you can hold two strands of both the right and left hand. The index finger of the left hand should highlight a small strand, then turn the arm upside down and place the strand on it. In this case, the second finger on the right hand should pick up this strand. Then on the left side is added another strand of hair that has not been spun.

While weaving the spikelet on the right side of the head, it is recommended to hold the palm downwards. The index finger separates the small strand from the main mass. Turn the hand, grab the strand with the middle finger of his left hand. The second and first fingers are responsible for the preservation of the structure of the hairstyle and do not allow the already braided strands to weaken and dissolve. The right hand should “dive” as it were under the strand, and its index finger should separate another strand and introduce the remaining hair on the left side.

Braid spike to the side is easy, but will require training. When the hand is “full”, the creation of such a spit will take a couple of minutes.

Step-by-step instructions for creating such a hairstyle include a series of actions.

1. The hair is divided into three equal parts in the temporal zone.
2. Weaving begins as if you want to get a classic braid as a result.
3. From the opposite side is taken strand and woven into a braid. That is, if the weaving began on the right side of the head, it is necessary to take a strand on the left.
4. A similar procedure is performed with interlocking strands on the right side of the head.
5. In the process of weaving, it is necessary to observe the vertical direction so that from one side the braid looks more voluminous than from the other.
6. When all the hair will be woven into the hair, you need to weave the spikelet like a regular braid. At the end, fasten with satin ribbon or silicone rubber. To add volume to a hairstyle, some strands from a braid need to be pulled out slightly. The negligence effect created by this will emphasize your natural beauty.

Make this hairstyle is not as easy as the previous ones, but the effort expended will please you with a pleasant result. The head will look very elegant and gentle.

That during creation of a braid hair did not tangle, they need to be combed carefully.

1. The hair is divided into three equal parts, and begin to braid a classic pigtail. But in this case the strands will not go on top of each other, but wind up under others.
2. Weave braid can be both straight and sideways. The design option depends only on personal preferences.
3. The finished pigtail is fixed with an elastic band. To get a convex hairstyle, weave should not be tight, and at the end of weaving, some strands need to be slightly released. Then the hairstyle will look very elegant and elegant. It is important to start the release of strands from the end of the braid, otherwise it can be deformed and gain “roosters”.

Recently, the spikelet framing the head, began to enjoy unprecedented popularity. Leading hairdressers make it the center of their fashion collections of hairstyles. This hairstyle will look good on long hair and on the heads of girls whose hair is of medium length.

The weave is constructed in the same way as if we were weaving a standard spikelet, that is, we take strands alternately from both sides, cross and gradually weave new strands. As a rule, this hairstyle is woven from one temple to another. The braid is fastened with small hairpins or invisible hair.

Weaving around can be done in "A la greek" style. To separate the hair from the forehead to the ear with one half of the head. The rest fasten on temechke. Weave start under the ear. Separate the strand from the hair of the fronto-ear area, and weave a braid of the spike according to the classical canons, adding new strands from the bottom. Weaving continues until all the hairs are woven.

The braid is woven along the front of the head and ends in the zone of the opposite ear. The rest of the hair is dissolved, and a spikelet is woven with the addition of strands on both sides. Tighten them tightly. Weave from the bottom of the head should be thicker. When free hair does not remain, the usual braid gets out. It should be straightened, slightly stretching the bottom strands to give a resemblance to the Greek hairstyle. The end of the braid is tucked under the weaving in the lower part of the head and fixed by stealth or hairpin.

For a particular case, for example, the evening of publication, the hair can be varied. To do this, the strands are pre-curled, and weaving is carried out only on the crown and up to the beginning of the neck, at the bottom of the curls remain loose.

You can decorate hair with decor. Then come to the aid of beautiful hairpins, satin ribbons, fresh flowers or a bandana. All these accessories will help to make the image more romantic or, on the contrary, bold.

You can decorate with flowers the whole head or just the base of the hair, creating the illusion of a wreath. These elements are fixed with studs, stealth and lacquer strong fixation. Making hairstyles flowers suitable for a date or another evening event.

Satin ribbons can be used not only for evening rendezvous, but also as a supplement for everyday images. You can choose accessories of bright or delicate tones, any width. Ribbons can be woven into the "ear" at the stage of creating a braid or tied at its end with an elegant bow.

The use of this accessory will give a feminine image of airiness and romance and, moreover, will contribute to a longer preservation of the hairstyle. Even if you braid a spikelet in the evening, in the morning after waking up, you will see that the pigtail has survived and has not blossomed. And also this silk accessory will become irreplaceable in the winter season. The fact is that under the caps absolutely all hairstyles suffer, but thanks to the tape the braid will not disintegrate.

To avoid such an unpleasant moment as hair dyeing tape, the last before the first use must be washed. The same procedure is needed so that the multicolored ribbons (if you have chosen several shades) do not paint over each other when they touch each other in their hair.

The width of the accessory should vary within 1.5-2 centimeters, and the length should exceed the length of your strands by 6-7 cm.

Elegance spikelet add barrettes with rhinestones or other decorative elements, placed across the entire surface of the braid.

If you want to look feminine, but at the same time a little “cheating”, you can choose a bandana as a supplement for your hair.

This hairstyle looks very impressive, but it is easy to braid it yourself. However, to get a good quality braid, you will need to practice. Before weaving the braids, you should carefully comb the hair so that there are no “icicles” in it. If the hair is electrified or tangled, it is recommended to sprinkle it with water.

Gradually creating a spit involves performing a series of actions.

• On the crown take a strand, the base of which will form a triangle. Divide it into two locks of equal thickness.
• Interlace these strands once with each other.

• From the wide edge, take a thin strand and transfer it into the braid, connecting it to the left side.
• A similar procedure should be repeated on the right side, introducing strands into the main braid, like weaving characteristic of the French braid.
• Weave the fishtail to the beginning of the neck, until all the loose hair is involved, translating the side strands inside.

• You can fix the hair with a silicone rubber band or a decorative hair clip.
• To give the spit airiness and openness, a couple of curls can be slightly released from the hair.
• To keep the “fish tail” in its original state for a long time, it is recommended to sprinkle it with varnish.
• If the natural volume of your hair leaves much to be desired, you can use styling products that raise hair at the roots before starting to create a braid.

There is another version of the "fish tail" - the so-called double. This hairstyle looks very unusual. Suitable for owners of long curls, as well as for individuals with medium-length hair. The easiest way to spike such a spikelet is someone, but with a certain dexterity, you can make your hair yourself. Spit can be braided directly or to the side.

To create a spectacular hairstyle you need to prepare:

• comb with a long handle and frequent teeth;
• two mirrors (place them opposite each other);
• gum (silicone);
• spray gun;
• invisible (3 pcs.);
• means for fixing.

Split the hair in a smooth parting in half, weave a regular spikelet starting from the back of the head. Hold the right strand over the left, helping the index finger, then start the left strand on the right. Perform the same operation several times.

In the spray pour water. Sprinkle the right strand. Fix the left strand with the elastic. Disassemble the right strand on 2 and braid like a classic spikelet. After each pair of rows, the spit links from the sides are slightly fluffed; with internal links, this procedure is not required.

When the braid will dopletena to the end, it is necessary to secure the rubber band. The second cone is woven according to the same principle. At the end of the weaving, the external links of both braids once again slightly stretch.

After that, the rubber bands that crowned the tip of the spikelet can be removed, and the braids can be fastened with one rubber band in the color of the head of hair. The latter can be decorated with flowers or rhinestones.
