Regardless of what type of braids you decide to braid, first of all you need to carefully prepare the hair. To do this, they should be washed, and also apply conditioner to your hair - thus the hair will be softer, more flexible and compliant for styling. After that, the hair should be well dried.

If possible, try not to use a hair dryer, so as not to damage the structure of your curls. Also, hair must be combed.

After all these manipulations, you can proceed to the direct procedure of weaving. Let us consider in stages different techniques and braid weaving schemes.

Regular braid is considered almost classic styling. In our country, this is a traditional hairstyle that has been used by girls and women since ancient times. Consider a step-by-step simple weaving scheme:

• we divide hair into 3 equal parts;
• using the extreme right strand we cover the middle strand, thereby moving the right one to the center;
• now we carry out a similar procedure with the left strand, but now the right strand performs the role of the central strand, since we moved it a step earlier;
• repeat the previous 2 steps until the hairstyle is ready.

Spit with curls (or waterfall) is a hairstyle that is intended for special occasions. Similar styling can be done at the graduation party, at a birthday party and even at a wedding.

The base for this hairstyle will be the usual 3-piece braid. However, unlike the traditional version, in the “waterfall” hairstyle, a simple braid will not be woven vertically, but horizontally. In addition, the released curls will create a unique volume and give the hairstyle festivity.

It should be noted that this hairstyle can be created in 2 ways: by weaving one or two symmetrical braids. We will consider the second option, as it is more common and stylish.

• First you need to take a small strand of hair from the temple, on their own choosing a left or right side. Now this part of the hair must be divided into 3 identical strands.
• We begin to weave a braid according to the scheme described above — the side strands on one side and the other side alternately move to the center. We do this several times.
• After that, add a small amount of hair to the upper strand. We also release the lower strand and collect a new one under it - to do this, we need to separate the new strand from the existing free hair.
• We continue to weave the braid until we reach the middle of the head. Important: if you want to weave only one braid, then at this moment you just continue weaving until you reach the edge of the hair. If you will be performing a hairstyle from 2 symmetric braids, then continue to follow the steps as instructed.
• After you have reached the center of the head, the resulting braid should be fixed, and on the other hand, we should start weaving the same braid on a similar principle.
• When both braids "meet" in the center of the head, they must be secured with rubber bands.
• To give an image of lightness and romance, the remaining shoal of hair that has not been used in weaving can be wound onto a curling iron or hair curlers. If you do not like curls, the strands, on the contrary, can be straightened with the help of an iron for hair.

One of the most popular varieties of the side braid is the French cone on its side. Let us consider in more detail the principle of weaving this hairstyle.

• At one of the temples (right or left of your choice), separate a small part of the hair. It, in turn, must be divided into 3 parts.
• Now we proceed to weaving ordinary braids, the principle of creation of which is described above.
• With each new prolet, alternately add a small section of hair, then with the right, then with the left side. So, at the end of weaving, you should grab all the hair from your head.
• If you want to give a larger volume to the spit, then slightly dissolve the strands, loosening them starting from the lowest and gradually moving to the top.

A fishtail is a type of braid that can be braided, not only for everyday wear, but also as a festive setting. If you follow the pattern of weaving step by step, the creation of hairstyles will not cause difficulties even for beginners.

First of all it should be noted that long hair is best suited to create such styling, but you can also weave a fishtail and on curls of medium length. But on short haircuts to create such a braid will be quite problematic.

It is important to remember that the fishtail is woven from the back of the head. So, let’s analyze the process of weaving step by step:

• the total volume of hair is divided into 2 equal parts;
• From the left part of the hair, separate from the ear a small-sized strand, which we transfer from above to the right-hand side;
• do the same procedure from the right to the left side;
• the previous 2 steps alternate between each other and repeat until the length of the hair ends;
• at the end we fix the braid.

In fact, the braid, consisting of only 2 strands, is a twisted tail of harnesses. It is believed that this hairstyle will most advantageously look on the hair of medium length. If you want to decorate a hairstyle or are going to a solemn event, it is important to remember that such a spit can be given a highlight and originality.

If we talk about the pattern of weaving, the sequence of actions is as follows.

• Prepared hair should be divided into 2 equal parts. To any of the parts (of your choice) to bind the tape.
• Now we proceed to the formation of harnesses: for this, both the one and the other parts of the hair must be twisted clockwise. It is important to ensure that the harnesses are quite dense.
• To weave braids directly, the obtained 2 strands need to be interlaced with each other, but now it must be done counterclockwise - this way you will ensure the strength of the braids.
• The last stage - fixing the braid. This can be done with a tape or through an ordinary rubber band. Haircut is ready.

The main rule for creating such a braid is to use only extreme hair strands in the process of weaving hairstyles.

Consider step by step how to create hairstyles.

1. The whole shock of hair is divided into 4 equal parts by volume. For convenience, the hair can be divided into 2 parts, and then each of them - another 2.
2. The very first strand, which is located on the left side, needs to be stretched over the next strand (second from left) and below the next (third from left) - thus, you should have the second and third strands on the left in your left hand, and the two extreme strands on the right (right and left);
3. Extreme right strand remaining in your right hand, you need to stretch under the extreme left, which is in your left hand.
4. Then the strand that became the extreme on the left side, you need to hold over the next and below the next (as in step number 2).
5. The rightmost strand must be threaded under the next left side.
6. We spend the leftmost strand under the next one and above the next one.
7. Spend the rightmost strand under the next.
8. The previous two steps should be repeated throughout the length of the hair.
9. At the end of weaving fasten braid.

If you are planning to create such a hairstyle for a solemn occasion, then a few days before the holiday you need to practice in its execution. The fact is that the braid of 5 strands is woven rather long, and the process itself will require a lot of effort. Having trained, you will protect yourself from being late or disappointed in connection with the failed styling.

• As in all previous cases, the total volume of hair must be divided. This time on 5 identical parts.
• Now use those 3 strands that were in the center. First of all, you need to move the left strand to the center, and then perform the same manipulation with the right strand (we carry out the principle of weaving an ordinary braid). Now the extreme strands of 3 medium need to be separated from the rest of the mass of hair and temporarily support them with clips (for the time being we will not use these strands). According to the results of the weaving manipulations, you will be able to access 3 strands: the most central strand, as well as the extreme right and left.
• From the remaining 3 strands, the left and right ones are moved to the center in turn.At this time, the middle strand is fastened with a clip (you can also use a barrette, invisibility or any other devices).
• Now those strands that we fixed earlier, except the middle one, need to be detached and positioned along the edges of the forming braid.
• On the contrary, those strands that have just been used, you need to fix, removing from the process of weaving.
• From the remaining parts, the left and right are alternately moved to the center. Then we fix the middle one again with a clip. Fixed strands are released, and those who have just used - we pin up. A similar procedure is carried out until we finish the weaving.

On the basis of the braid weaving methods described above, you can create unusual evening hairstyles that will suit any holiday and other special occasion. The main thing is to carry out the main weaving correctly, which can later be supplemented with accessories or minor adjustments.

• For example, a spit with curls (or a waterfall) will be an excellent base for a festive setting. In particular, this hairstyle looks good on long hair. Often such weaving can be seen in wedding photos. Brides love this styling for beauty, simplicity and femininity.

• If for a festive occasion you want to braid a fishtail, then such a braid can be beautifully beaten with a loop, which is quite easy to do at the very base of the hair even before the start of the main weaving.

• Also for the evening exit suitable convex side braids. They will give youth and mischief to a common image.

• More complex styling (for example, braids from 4 or 5 strands) will be an excellent option for various competitions: for example, a beauty contest or a dance tournament. Often this braid is used by ballroom dancers, since, on the one hand, the hairstyle looks quite impressive, and on the other hand, it does not interfere with the performance of choreographic compositions.

• If you show a little creativity, then the usual 3-strand braid can be turned into a solemn styling. For this it is enough to use accessories and decorations to your taste.

If you are still undecided on the most suitable for your particular installation, then we suggest you to be inspired by beautiful examples.

For example, this option is from the layout of several types of weaving. To begin with, a harness is used, which is made symmetrically on both sides of the head, and then a fishtail is assembled from the hair. To give the image of completeness, loose hair is a little twisted. Haircut looks neat and feminine.

And here is the spit with the released curls. In this variation, the hairstyle is collected with weaving only 1 braids, and not 2 symmetric. Looks pretty simple and tasteful. For strength, do not forget to fasten the braid - in this case, studs and stealth are used. The bangs look quite stylish.
