Who is it for
The braid suits any woman. Age, face shape and curl structure do not play any role. It will keep a neat look during the working day or will be a great addition to an evening outfit.
It is a big mistake to braid your curls without taking into account the peculiarities of your appearance and then abandon this idea forever, believing that such a styling does not suit you.
Some nuances should be taken into account:
- Owners of a round face should take the time to add volume to the crown of the head. This will visually draw out the shape.
- Girls, whose face slightly resembles a square, should concentrate on the smooth, delicate lines of the design and on decorative elements.
- For heart-shaped faces, any asymmetrical work is suitable.
- For a rectangular face, something light and airy, with loose curls, will do.
- Everything is suitable for an oval face.
Overweight women should avoid tight and smooth styling. The extra root volume and curl in the front will help you look more graceful.
Weaving features
Side weaving is very simple. The only difficulty that you run the risk of facing is disobedience of insufficient length. To avoid disappointment, the length should be no higher than the shoulder blades.
The structure is formed from the side from 2, 3 or more parts. Before starting the execution, you need to stock up on some accessories:
- A handy comb to get rid of tangles.
- Comb for separating curls and creating a fleece.
- Corrugated curling iron.
- Iron for straightening curls.
- Round curling iron.
- Several elastic bands (for fastening - thin and elastic, for decoration you can use an elastic band with flowers or stones).
- Hairdressing clips.
- Hairpins.
- Invisible.
- Mousse and foam - for volume.
- Wax or gel - to highlight individual strands.
- Fixing varnish.
Decorative details to your taste: headband, ribbon, hairpins with stones or beads.
Important:
- The hair washed yesterday is much more obedient than the one that was washed today.
- Gel or wax will help tame loose hairs and create the desired shape.
- The design retains its appearance longer if it is pre-treated with styling.
Popular varieties
There is no more elegant hairstyle to perform than the one that was performed on the basis of a braid. With the help of simple manipulations, it can always be endowed with an original look.
French version
French weaving is perhaps one of the most interesting. It is very difficult to complete it without experience, but the secret of success is simple.
So let's go!
- To prepare, it is enough to comb well from the forehead to the side on which the work will be carried out.
- Separate a small section from the opposite side of your forehead. Divide it into 3 equal shares.
- Make the first row like a classic braid.
- After that, start picking up the side strands. This must be done every time before you move the element to the other side.
The thinner the strands are, the better the final look of the weave will be.
A big mistake is to let go of your hair until it is fixed with a hair clip. In this case, the structure will most likely disintegrate and you will have to start the process over.
Bulk weaving
The voluminous version looks especially feminine and is suitable for women of different complexions, skillfully hiding all the flaws.
Peculiarities:
- It must be done on freshly washed hair.
- Before braiding, you need to use a volumizing shampoo and conditioner to add shine and freshness.
- After washing, you should first dry the hairline with a towel, and then throw it down and dry it with a hairdryer. This will greatly facilitate your styling task.
- To create the effect of lightness and airiness, you need to make curls. Use a round or corrugated curling iron for this.
- Backfill before applying fixing agents. Otherwise, you can harm the scalp.
Let's start in order:
- Comb the roots lightly and then sprinkle with varnish.
- Grab part of the hairline at the forehead and start manipulating as with the classic 3-part braid.
- Try to maintain root volume. It is important that your hands are just above the scalp and not wrinkled.
- After completing 2-3 rows, add loose strands and continue in the same order.
- Secure the tip.
- Gently start pulling the strands. Start from the top and try not to damage the middle, otherwise the fruit of your labor will disintegrate
- Be sure to sprinkle the result of your work with varnish to maintain its shape.
Before, how to start, you can make a small ponytail in that place, where the first elements will come from, and give it volume at the roots. This will make the effect more impressive and last longer..
If you are going to a party, you can decorate the result of your labor with hairpins and invisibility, decorated with pebbles or rhinestones. This will complement your evening outfit.
"Fish tail"
"Fishtail" or as it is also called - a spikelet, is able to add chic to any woman.
So let's go!
- Take a small share from the crown and make the first row like a regular braid.
- When you have one lock in one hand, and two in the other, pinch off a piece from the thicker lobe (the one with two of them), get free hairs to it and throw it to the other side.
- When the entire hairline is braided, continue taking small details from the edge and following the previous steps to complete the spikelet.
To make weaves, you need to select approximately the same elements, to «fish tail» was neater.

Simple rope
"Rope" is laconic and simple in execution:
- Gather about a third of the hair on the side.
- Divide it into 2 beats.
- Cross them.
- Twist each piece of the "rope" so that it resembles a tourniquet.
- Continue to intertwine the resulting bundles by crossing them.
- Gradually add loose hairs to them so that the "simple rope" is located right at the roots, otherwise it will disintegrate.
- When the entire surface of the crown is braided, continue twisting the "flagella" and secure with an elastic band at the end.
Greek weaving
The easiest option is to curl the curls and braid them at the side, forming a "crown" that will serve as a frame for the entire head. The resulting "crown" can be decorated with a flower or complemented by a dress in the Greek style. It goes well with an open neck and shoulders.
To perform the classic plexus, you need to do the work "inside out": the strands should be taken out of the middle and left to the side. The technique is like French hairstyles.
Greek thread can be given a beautiful pattern by slightly separating the side strands. You can not fluff it entirely, but only select a small strip.
On brunettes, light pearls will look spectacular, with which you can decorate the middle of the whitewash.
Double braid
Double plexus is an excellent solution for ladies who want to effortlessly endow their hair with impressive shapes and an interesting appearance.
There are several options. Let's start with the simplest:
- The top lobe of the hair is detached and pulled to the side.
- The remaining hair is braided.
- After it is fixed, the rest of the lobe is also braided.
- Then it is invisibly attached along the length of the large pigtail.
You can give originality, if you execute two elements in different styles: a large pigtail can be voluminous, with elongated, lush strands, and more shallow – smooth and thin.
Second method:
- Form the parting so that it divides your hair into two equal parts and is located on the side.
- Braid both parts, repeating the Greek or French weave so that the braids run next to each other and almost merge into one.
- When all the strands are braided, continue braiding your regular braids.
- Connect the ponytails with invisible ones.
- On one side, which is located farther from the second pigtail, gently pull out the strands. Do this with the second part as well.
- Fasten together to give the impression of one wide braid.
With a wide, a double design combines well a voluminous and elegant hair clip.
Weaving on the side with bangs
Bangs can make your look unique. Braid one of the above braids, then style your bangs nicely. It can be supplemented by released strands. If you want to temporarily hide your bangs, you can weave them into a braid.
To prevent short hairs from sticking out, secure them with invisibility or a beautiful hair clip.
Edging
If you are tired of bangs, then a braid-edging can hide it. It must be woven in the same way as a French braid. The only characteristic difference is that such a weave should go along the edge of the hairline and resemble a frame for the face. You can finish it by hiding it behind the ear or in the tail.
Wide braid with ribbon
Tie a pretty, bright ribbon to your hair and then start braiding, applying it as the fourth strand.
When weaving, make sure that the tape stays in the center at all times - this will make the result appear neater.
And if the wedding
An intricate plexus of lush curls is a great option for a romantic, wedding look. The more intricate the final result is, the brighter the bride will look.
False strands can be used to create a wedding hairstyle. This will make the bride look even more chic.
We are going to graduation
At her graduation, every girl seeks to try on the role of a princess. Therefore, you can safely draw inspiration from the images of Hollywood stars and royals when they appear at important events.
For a prom, a lush Greek thread or a double braid with the use of many beautiful hairpins to match the dress is suitable.
Spectacular curls and bouffant will give the work a special charm.

Baby trends 2019
Children's fashion has always been bright and original. Any asymmetrical thread using a large bow, artificial flower or colorful ribbons will look great on a little fashionista.
Do not overuse heavy jewelry and do not make tight knots - the hairline of babies is still quite fragile and it is easy to damage it. Give preference to soft, lightweight hairpins and the same simple thread.
It is better for children not to do lush hairstyles and not to abuse various hairdressing products, since the shape will still suffer during the game.
To improve fixation, you should form a tail before starting, and then start the plexus from it. You can speed up the process with the help of elastic bands - instead of complex operations that require a lot of time, form ponytails passing from one to another with a set of free hairs - the so-called "flashlight", which can be decorated with a thin thread fixed on top of it.
