DIY braid hairstyles

The most popular braids include classic and French braids, fishtail. They are the basis for hairstyles with complex designs. A classic braid is created from three strands that are intertwined alternately, overlapping each other.

Technique for weaving the main types of braids:

• Spikelet Perfect for office style and looks natural with a tracksuit. To braid it, you need to divide your hair into 3 strands and braid it like a classic one, but gradually adding side hairs. For greater originality, the spikelet is braided from the bottom up.

• Half-spikelet differs from the previous version in that only those strands that are located in the direction of hair growth are woven into the braid. This way, the hair on the opposite side remains free.

• French braid has many weaving options, however, it differs from others by not using all the hair, but only small bunches, to which others are gradually woven.

• Boho Braid Usually braided on the side partly from the bangs and from the main hair. The principle of weaving is similar to creating a French braid.

• It is always braided only along the edge. You can easily create it yourself and quickly turn into a real Greek goddess. Weaving should begin by dividing the hair on the temporal zone into 3 equal parts. Counterclockwise, with each new movement, the lower strands of hair are woven into the design. After reaching the middle of the back of the head, secure the braid and start weaving on the other side. When the braids meet, they are secured with hairpins or, if the hair is long, you can braid them into one.

• Tourniquet Perfect for anyone new to hairstyles. To do this, two equal strands are twisted separately in different directions, forming tight cords of hair. By twisting them with each other, you get a braid of 2 strands. Secure with an elastic band or a hairpin.

• Waterfall lies in the fact that after one weave, the hair is not fixed in the braid, but flows down. The rest of the hair remains loose. You can complicate your hairstyle by weaving several waterfalls.

• fish tail begins with separating tufts of hair from the sides of the temples. The right strand is crossed with the left, from which a new one is separated and crossed again with the right and braided to the end.

• Four strand braid more complex and beautiful than usual. To weave, the first strand is placed under the second, the third is placed over the first, the fourth under the first, the second over the third and the fourth over the second. Next, weaving continues by repeating the previous steps.

Advice! Any braid can be turned into a bright and original part of the external image by adding a beautiful silk ribbon to the strands.

There are 7 main “geographical” varieties of braiding: Russian, French, Dutch, German, English, Greek and African. Most of them have nothing to do with the countries that gave them their names.

• Russian braid is a traditional three-strand braid. The simplest method used all over the world by both women and men.
• French braid - weaving with the selection of side strands and weaving them into the main braid. Enables braiding to capture almost all hair.
• The Dutch braid is a reverse (inverted) version of the French braid. May also be called a German braid. Gives a voluminous effect, especially with elongated strands, even on thin hair.
  
  
• English braid - weaving a classic three-strand braid or any other on hair previously collected in a ponytail. It was originally invented for female jockeys who found it difficult to wear a riding helmet.
• Greek braid is a braid braided along the edge of the hair. Initially, it emphasized the status of free women of Ancient Greece, while slaves had their hair cut short.

To braid a double braid you need:

• The hair is divided into 3 identical strands, and the weaving of a reverse French braid or inside-out spikelet begins.
• A new strand is added to strand 2, conventionally called 2a. The braiding ends with an extra strand left on top.

Features of braiding hairstyles

One standard braid is a classic everyday option. But what kind of hairstyle should you use to make it beautiful and comfortable? The combination of several braids that make up one large composition allows you to attract the attention of others.

For a romantic date, you can braid a heart shape. To do this, you must first treat your hands with a fixing gel or varnish. The products remove excess fluff and make hair smooth and manageable. One strand is separated from the side of the head and the next one immediately after it. The lower curl is passed under the upper one, creating a knot, and pulled tight. The next thin strand creates the same loop. There is no need to lose the ends of the strands during weaving. They will be needed to form the heart. Six knots on one side are enough; they are temporarily fixed and the same manipulations are carried out on the other side. The ends of the strands are tied together and decorated with rhinestones.

Braiding medium hair is a master class. A braid is a girl’s beauty, but sometimes many of us can only dream of tight long braids, because the length of our hair does not always allow us to braid an ornate “spikelet” or “Boho braid.” There is no need to be sad about this, because even with medium-length hair you can create a miracle by braiding it in a braid that is so popular this season. Naturally, the average hair length does not allow you to experiment as much as possible with different braiding styles, but you can still create several original and sophisticated hairstyles.

The braiding procedure involves alternating several strands with each other in various ways. The more strands, the more complex the hairstyle is considered. You can use from three to six or more strands. The main difficulty is to be able to keep all the strands taut, alternating the necessary ones.

High-quality braiding with your own hands is impossible without some aids. Here are your main helpers:

• comb, preferably made of natural material (for example, wood). Hair combed with such a comb will be less electrified;
• clips, hairpins and pins for fixing individual strands and the braid itself;
• elastic bands, ribbons, bows and other items to secure the end of the braid;
• accessories for decorating braided braids;
• gel, varnish, mousse for a more lasting effect of the hairstyle and for its styling.

To ensure a high-quality braided hairstyle, take into account a few tips from hairdressers:

• Before creating a hairstyle, your hair should be washed well. It is advisable to use a shampoo that gives it volume;
• Before braiding hair, use various auxiliary fixing agents: gel, varnish, mousse. This will make the curls more pliable and voluminous at the roots;

• Regardless of the number of strands, make them the same. This will allow you to braid an even and neat braid;
• The thinner the strands, the tighter the braid will be. Pull them evenly, constantly pulling them down;
• It is better to grab the side strands with your little fingers. The remaining fingers should hold the braid tightly;
• The perfect way to separate the strands evenly is with your little fingernail. This should be done along an oblique line from the ear towards the pigtail.

Four-row braiding for medium hair is considered quite difficult, but with a few techniques you can master this technique too.

• Comb your hair thoroughly with a comb, comb your hair back and divide it into 4 equal strands. For convenience, we will call the far right part the first, the strand located immediately behind it the second, the next one the third, the last one the fourth.
• With your right hand we push the first strand under the second. With your left hand, place the third strand on top of the first.

• We insert the fourth strand under the first. Now she is in the center of the weaving. Place the second strand on top of the third, and the fourth strand on top of the second.
• In the same way, we place the first strand on the second, the third on the fourth. Next, we place the first strand on top of the third, and place the third on top of the second. We weave according to this pattern to the required length. Secure the end of the braid with an elastic band.

This weaving option will fit perfectly with the everyday image of an active and cheerful girl. This hairstyle is very easy to create and yet looks great.

Weaving stages:

1. After thorough combing, the hair is treated with a styling product such as gel or foam. This is done so that small strands do not come out, and the hairstyle looks much neater.
2. Weaving should start from the forehead. Three strands are taken and used to make a classic braid.
3. As you braid, thin strands of loose hair are separated from the right and left and woven into a braid. The one on the right is superimposed on the central strand, and the left strand is superimposed on the other two.
4. Once all the hair is braided, the braid should be braided and pinned.

A distinctive feature of the Greek braid is that it weaves along the contours of the head. Braiding the girl’s head, this braid makes her unusually tender and touching. This is the perfect braid for a romantic look.

It goes like this:

1. After your hair is combed, you need to make an even, neat parting in the middle.
2. A strand is taken from the right and left of the forehead.
3. One of these strands will need to be secured, and the other will need to be weaved.
4. We divide it into 3 parts.
5. The weaving pattern is similar to dragon weaving; it is also possible to weave with reverse weaving. The main nuance of weaving is that the side curls for weaving need to be taken only from below. When you reach the back of your head, secure the result with an elastic band.
6. On the right they weave in a similar way.
7. From below, these braids are connected to the remaining hair. You can make a beautiful bun or ponytail.

Secrets of quick hairstyles

• Use a wide-tooth comb to gently comb your hair. Select a section of hair from the front of your head, comb it back without parting, and use a fine-tooth comb to separate it into three sections.
• Cross the left section over the center section, and then cross the right section over the center (just joined) section. Pull it tight. Starting from the right side, using your index finger or little finger, grab a small, loose section of hair from the right side. Attach a strand to the right section.
• Now cross the right section again, as if you were doing a regular braid. Then, in the same way, select a small section of hair on the left and attach it to the left section. Pull it tight.

• Continue adding small strands to the right and left halves, leaving no loose strands on the sides. Move down to the back of your head.
• At the back of your head, divide the remaining loose hair on your neck into two sections (right and left) and attach them to the right and left sections respectively.
• If your hair is long, then braid a regular braid to the ends and secure it with an elastic band or a hairpin.

The French braid is ready. French braid, a universal braid, on the basis of which many beautiful and simple hairstyles have been invented, loved by older girls, for example:

Any hair is suitable for it - thick and thin, wavy, curly or perfectly straight. It is advisable to treat the strands with mousse or moisturizing spray; they will be less tangled and will lie smoother.
The hair is combed back without parting. A wide strand is separated from the top of the head, divided into 3 parts and woven into a braid. Every 2-3 crossings, curls taken from the left and right temples are added to the work.

Having brought the braid to the back of the head, you can continue the braid and tie its end with an elastic band. Then the hair is tucked under the braid and secured with a flat clip. If desired, the hair at the back of the head can be left loose by tying it into a low ponytail.

This option is simply ideal for an evening out. The secret to creating the effect of flowing hair is that the lower strands are constantly released, rather than fixed in the braid.

1. We begin to braid the “waterfall” from the front part of the head, where we divide the bun into three identical strands.
2. Next, perform the same steps as you do when weaving a regular classic braid, only release the bottom strand and replace it with a new one taken from the top of the hair.
3. Create a “waterfall” moving towards the opposite ear, secure the ends of the hair with a clip or tape.

The waterfall hairstyle can either encircle the head like a wreath or go down the side. Special craftsmen manage to perform double weaving, making the waterfall look even more extravagant and interesting. This braid looks most beautiful when combined with wavy hair. If you cannot boast of natural curls, then you can curl the ends of the waterfall into beautiful curls using a curling iron.

It is customary to wear long luxurious hair loose only on holidays and special occasions. And on weekdays, they can be styled and braided into a variety of braids, which have always been in fashion and currently do not want to give up their crowning positions. In the hands of a professional hairdresser, long hair turns into a true work of art. But even on ordinary days, you can create especially original hairstyles using simple weaves.

Face shape and choice of braid styling options

People's faces have a wide variety of shapes, so experts divide them into 5 main categories. This classification helps makeup artists, stylists and professional hairdressers to find the most appropriate images for each type of face.

From the point of view of classical beauty, an oval face shape is considered the most correct, and therefore all types of hairstyles or styling are selected in such a way as to try to visually bring the face shape closer to an oval, while hiding the shortcomings that women and girls have.

Experienced stylists, taking into account the variety of face shapes, suggest choosing the following braided hairstyle options:

The most daring experiments with braiding are allowed for oval faces. A variety of variations and models of braids will look great on thick curls.

• For girls with a round face shape, it is most rational to use weaves starting above the crown. This will give your face greater expressiveness, visually lengthening it. The braid is braided over the entire length of the hair, only leaving a small ponytail or knot at the bottom.

• The smoothest possible lines are used to visually smooth out the angular shape of a square face. First, a braid is braided over the entire head, leaving the traditionally braided end of the braid at the side or behind. Braids braided with these options visually eliminate the excessive angularity of the face, smoothly bending around its contours.

• Girls with a triangular face shape should use techniques that visually increase its volume at the bottom. Stylists recommend letting the long bangs go, then you can start braiding the braid from the back of the head in the classic way or to the side.

Girls with a rectangular face should visually shorten its shape, while smoothing out the angularities of the face. Here it is advisable not to use long, traditionally straight braids. Such voluminous braids as a voluminous spikelet braided over the entire head or a French braid will look wonderful. The face is visually shortened due to the elongated bangs. Choosing a hairstyle in this case will be much easier.

Daily hairstyles with braids - basic braids

Mastering different braiding options will help you truly diversify your jewelry from long braids—this will allow you to create original and elegant hairstyles for every day.

In certain cases - a spikelet, an openwork braid, a French braid - to create an unusual hairstyle, a single element is enough - a braid. Sometimes, with the help of braids, as an additional element, you can create very interesting hairstyles:

• The classic option is to divide your hair into 3 parts of equal volume. Then the right strand of hair is moved to the center, between the middle and left strands. Thus, the right strand becomes central. The left strand of hair is moved between the right and middle, this process is repeated until a certain length, then a small ponytail is left at the end. You can decorate a classic braid with an elegant elastic band or bow.

• Fishtail - unlike the classic version, only 2 strands are used here. The braid comes out voluminous due to thin strands. The thinner the strands are, the more chic the hairstyle looks!

The hair is gathered into a low bun and divided in half. A thin strand is separated from the right side from the inside and moved to the left. Thin strands of equal volume on the main strand are always laid on top. The strand on the left, accordingly, moves with another thin strand to the right.

Weaving continues with alternating placement of thin strands from different halves, while the two main strands always remain in the hands. A free ponytail remains at the end, secured with an elegant elastic band or ribbon.

• French braid - this model differs from the traditional version in that the hair begins to be braided, starting from the very top of the head.

The hair is divided into three parts of equal size, the right strand is moved to the center, while adding to it a thin strand on the right from free hair. The same action is performed with the left strand - it is thrown over the middle strand, and a new thin strand is added to it on the left. French braiding is repeated along the entire length of the hair and ends with a classic braid or ponytail.

The French braiding option allows you to create the most fantastic hairstyles. Strongly stretched small strands allow you to create a thin, neat braid. In the coming season, slight negligence is popular, so fashionistas should take this moment into account.

If voluminous strands are added during braiding, the braids turn out to be quite thick, creating the effect of thick, chic hair.

• Air braids are one of the options for French braiding. The result of this weaving is a visually airy and weightless design on the fashionista’s head.

When creating an openwork-airy model, you should take 3 small strands at the back of your head, intertwining them twice with classic weaving. Then take a strand of the same size from the right temple and move it to the side extreme part. The same is repeated on the left side - a new strand is added from the left temple to the left side. The weaving continues until the end, with the constant addition of additional strands from the temples. The airy openwork styling is secured with a beautiful elastic band.

• Rope-harness - this option helps to create fashionable and stylish hairstyles quite quickly. The “Rope” style looks great, holding long hair neatly and firmly throughout the day. Laying this weave is simple and can be done by any girl.

Make a tail high on the top of the head and divide it in half into two parts. Each of the 2 strands is twisted clockwise so that the result is a weave that looks like a twisted rope. Small rubber bands secure each end.

Then they begin to twist both braids together counterclockwise. An important condition for this type of weaving is a fairly strong tension of the strands and tight twisting of the “ropes”.
