Images for everyday life
Is it appropriate to braid curls in the office? For study or an important conference? And who said that ornate decors cannot be elegant and austere:
- For work, try to make a tighter, smoother styling. Do not pull the links, try to avoid carelessness. For example, even spikelet from the top of the head to the back of the head, or made along an oblique line.
- It is important to prepare carefully for an exam or business meeting. After all, the final result depends on the first impression. Don't try too hard to make an effect or obsessively try to please. But at the same time, the opponent should evaluate that for his sake you spent time on the collection. Therefore, a trip to the master for a "chic nest" will be inappropriate, but a modest basket or embossed braids on the side, connecting in a beautiful bundle, is the very thing.
- A young man called out on a date? A sophisticated braid is the perfect step to create a feminine and romantic look. And here there will be by the way light negligence, knock-out curls, loose soft curls. Twist the head of hair and collect it in a braid so that it looks more pretty: you need the forehead, on the sides of the temples, in a straight parting, such as a round basket at the back. Leave the ends free. Try to gently pull a couple of curls out of the styling as if they had naturally come loose.
Note! To avoid emphasizing a round oval or a wide prominent forehead, do not braid bangs. Gather the strands in a circle over the forehead and slightly relax the structure. It rises slightly from the roots, you get a visual volume, and the facial features become more oval.

Features of styling for different lengths
Length plays a big role in the choice of the braid and the method of its creation.
- Short haircut complicates the implementation of most of the ideas of the master and the young lady herself. In this situation, the interweaving of artificial locks, building up can save. If the hairs aren't too short, try circular braiding. Or an experienced stylist will create many small braids from all the hair, put them in a beautiful ensemble, and fix them with invisible ones with decorative ornaments. The finishing touch will be the straightening of the turns, in order to increase their diameter, to give the hairstyle a relief.
- Average length allows you to create and create masterpieces. It is convenient to weave baskets, spikelets, snakes with it. Any styling options in which the strands work from the roots. In complex designs, short ends are usually left. They are collected in a bow, hidden under a shock, curled and laid arbitrarily.
On a note! If the length is sufficient, the rest of the details do not matter.Hair can be thin or thick, smooth or curly, soft or hard. Curls help to bring to life more magnificent forms, and openwork variations look more effective on straight curls.
- WITH long hair come up with incredible beauty structures. Ornate, lacy, luxurious braids are formed over the entire head or only in a certain place. The tips are curled or constructed with additional elements. Multilevel structures are performed. Summing up, it should be noted that a hairstyle with braids will be an ideal solution for the owner of a shock below the shoulder blades.
Types of structures
Let's take a look at what forms of styling can be performed with a pigtail.
- The trend is an exquisite wreath, which is performed using the reverse weaving method. Craftswomen make it from 4-5 strands, but even the classic type looks very touching.
- Merging several braids into one. Two look aesthetically from the side, smoothly flowing into one common one. Or three thin ones turn into one flat, but wide, from many curls.
- Side. They are made close to the central parting, to the right and left of it. And also right at the temples, along the ears and to the back of the head. In the second case, the distance between them is greater than in the first.
Note! If you build two side braids, and place them close to each other, they will inevitably end up on the central part of the head, on either side of the parting. This shape visually stretches the features, the oblong oval visually becomes even narrower. For such a face, it is better to maintain the maximum possible gap.
- Asymmetrical variations will fit perfectly into fluffy, supposedly carelessly created styling.
- Openwork types are performed by weakening the turns, pulling out the strand particles from them.
- Harnesses. Such weaving looks very catchy and unusual. It is made of two strands that are twisted in a special way. By the way, an ordinary spikelet can also be performed as a flagellum.
Greek styling
Since ancient times, Greek women have been famous for their feminine and graceful looks. Their canons of beauty have been preserved for centuries and carried over from era to era. So today hairstyles in roman style remain at the height of fashion. Most often they are performed on the basis of a bump or rim. The latter can be replaced with a scythe made in his manner.
So, let's take a closer look at what rules the Greek design obeys:
- Light weave, not tight, slightly relaxed;
- The technique "fish tail", "French variation", "harness" is used;
- Airy, natural, casual contours;
- Smooth lines, graceful transitions.
If you dream of becoming like the beautiful Aphrodite, remember the decor options:
- Greek crown. It is braided from temple to ear, further down to the neck, the second ear, a semicircle above the forehead. They begin to work with three strands, attach the rest of the hair in each weave. A circular hoop looks more expressive when it is created in the opposite way.
- The usual three-strand braid is created by alternately superimposing the side braids on the central one. Have you tried doing the opposite? Each time, send the center strand under the side strands, one at a time. It will turn out, as it were, turned inside out, a relief beauty.
- Volumetric. A magnificent structure, which begins to be made from the forehead and temples of three spikelets. When they are connected in the cervical region, they continue to one common braid. It is made weakened, large-scale. The hair seems to be randomly collected and styled back. But upon closer examination, a skillfully braided shape emerges.
Demanded techniques
Above, we figured out how to braid a three-strand braid using the standard and reverse method.
The French variety is very popular, but many are used to calling it a spikelet:
- Separate part of the hair at the crown and break it into three curls.
- Place the left one on top of the front one.
- Put the right one on the front one as well.
- Lay the side again and add a strand from the free part of the hair to it.
- They continue to do this to the very ends.
- Secure with an elastic band.
Another trendy idea is a fishtail. It is named so due to its similarity to the rybkin ridge.
- We divide the shock into two parts.
- We take each in hand.
- We separate the thin strand on the left and shift it to the right. We fix it with our thumb.
- We repeat the procedure mirrored and alternately.
- We reach the end and tie an elastic band.
- The tight arrow is slightly straightened to give it aesthetics. This technique produces amazing hairstyles, especially when paired with standard braiding techniques.
Let us examine in detail how to form a tourniquet. The main task will be such a twisting that will not unwind after fixation.
- So, take a couple of strands. Twist each of them into bundles until they are just beginning to try to fold. Twist in one direction, for example clockwise.
- Now we keep one of them straight, and twist the second around the first.
- Attention, turn it counterclockwise. This subtlety will not allow your flagellum to unwind.
- Put on your elastic and enjoy the view in the mirror.
By the way, if you want to build a bundle of spikelets, just add a strand of loose hair to each turn around the base and do not forget to scroll it against the direction of the clock hands (in case the main strand is initially twisted clockwise).
Hairstyles with braids are a chic option to build a cool bow, be in trend, look feminine and romantic. And with a skilled craftsman it is also beautiful and elegant. Most of the methods for creating them are extremely easy and do not require special skills. Just practice and get creative. May every day please the eye with a new luxurious idea.
