Beautiful and simple braids on long hair
Owners of rich hair will be easier to complete any, even the most intricate weaving on their own. Hairstyles with braids for long hair have a lot of options, the most fashionable of them this season will be discussed later.
Symmetrical French braid.
For its implementation it is enough:
- Carefully comb clean and dry hair back with a damp comb.
- Separate the horizontal zone at the crown with which weaving will begin.
- Divide it into 3 identical strands.
- Start braiding the French method.
- Having reached the desired length, fix the hair from below with a decorative rubber band or hairpin.
If you haven’t done such braids before, don’t worry: it’s quite simple to carry them out.
The French technology of weaving is similar to the "spikelet", only additional strands are woven not on the top, but under the bottom of the main braid.
This trick creates the effect of thick hair and looks very elegant.
Newfangled bunch. If you’re tired of just collecting hair in a ponytail and doing ghouls, complement this simple hairstyle with a few pigtails.
For this:
- Separate about a third of the head on the crown with a horizontal parting.
- Divide this zone into 3 parts with vertical parting.
- From each resulting strand, braid the spikelets.
- Fix them with thin transparent elastic bands.
- Collect the remaining hair from the bottom in a tail or bun, decorating them with spikelets from above.
So that the hairstyle does not lose its attractive appearance longer and does not mess up during the day, sprinkle it with a strong fixation varnish.
A wreath of braids. This styling option combines both weaving and loose hair. This option is not only extremely practical to wear, but also looks super feminine and elegant.
To execute it:
- Comb the whole mop back, slightly sprinkled with varnish.
- On both temporal zones, highlight strands for weaving.
- On each side of the face, braid the braid in a convenient way: triple, French or fish tail.
- Tie the ends with elastic bands and fix the braids along the beginning of the hairline or over the bangs.
- The lower loose strands can be left straight or curled into curls with a curling iron.
If, before starting to weave, you notice that the hair is electrified and difficult to style, apply a cosmetic with an antistatic agent on them. This will greatly facilitate the work and make the finished hairstyle neater.
For owners of medium length hair
You can perform a lot of various weaving and styling without having a long strand length. Hairstyles with braids on medium hair look no less interesting and do not take much time for independent execution.
"Malvinka spikelet." This is a great and not complicated way to improve the usual hairstyle and make it trendy this season.
For styling:
- Comb all the locks back, leaving only bangs if desired.
- Separate approximately 1/3 of the entire head of hair with a horizontal parting to form a “baby”.
- Braid the braid using the spikelet technique.
- Next, form a bundle from the pigtails, fixing it with pins or leaving it in its original form.
- Loose hair can be curled or styled with a gaffer.
If the strands are worn out or look untidy during the weaving process, then apply a small amount of gel or wax on them before starting work. Also, be sure to lubricate your hands with a styling tool and then proceed to work.
Elegant waterfall. This is another way to combine weaving with loose locks, and even without very long hair, get a chic styling.
For this:
- Comb the mop back and separate the bundle on one of the temporal zones to start weaving.
- Form a braid using the “spikelet” method, releasing free locks at each lower step.
- Having reached the opposite temple, fasten the tip of the pigtail with a thin rubber band and hide it under your loose hair or outside with a beautiful decorative hair clip.
This styling option looks more effective if the loose hair is slightly curled with a medium diameter curling iron.
Asymmetric French braid. Despite the fact that it is quite simple to carry out, such styling looks elegant and presentable.
To braid your hair:
- Starting from the top of the temporal zone on one side, select 3 strands for weaving.
- Perform a braid in French technique, directing it to the nape diagonally.
- Secure the tip with a beautiful hairpin or elastic band.
If you want the weaving to look more voluminous, fluff each step of the braid, slightly stretching the strands from it.
Short hair ideas
Even owners of very short locks can perform interesting styling with weaving elements. To do this, before you collect all the hair in the tail, it is enough to braid one or several spikelets on the top, fix the edges with elastic bands and then collect a small bundle.
Also on short hair this season, stylists recommend styling a pigtail in the form of a hoop. To do this, start weaving a spikelet at one temple and gradually move to the opposite.Free locks can be left even, or tighten with a curling iron or curlers.
If the length of the haircut does not allow you to create weaving at all, and you want to try yourself in this image and always stay in trend, then use overhead strands or a hoop imitating a braid.
In greek style
Greek braid is a popular way of styling both for every day and for a festive event. This season, such a hairstyle can be seen both among the stars of show business at social events, and at the business lady in the office.
To do your own styling:
- Comb all the hair back and create a basal volume on the top of the head with a curling iron or comb.
- Select the strands in the temporal zone and begin to weave the braid, moving along the occipital zone in the opposite direction.
- Decorate your bangs in a way that is familiar to you, and hide the tip of the pigtail in the thick of the mop or under a beautiful decorative hair clip.
In the performance of braids in the Greek style, the method of weaving does not matter, a spikelet, a French one, and a fish tail will do.
Weaving in two braids and on the side for every day
Another quite interesting way to style a braid is braiding in two braids.
To execute it:
- With vertical parting, divide the entire pile into 2 parts, leaving a small lock in the middle to combine the resulting braids.
- Braid 2 pigtails by combining them into one using the lock left in the center.
- Fill the bottom with a beautiful elastic band or decorative hairpin.
Also, a French braid made on one side or diagonally is suitable as a styling for every day. To do this, start weaving 3 strands in the selected part of the head, and moving down, add curls at each step.
To make any hairstyle based on braids look more voluminous, before weaving, treat all hair with a curling iron or slightly fluff the locks of each step.
