When you start braiding your hair, comb it backusing a massage brush. Then separate two thin strands - one from the right temple, and the other from the left - and cross them at the back of the head. Now grab a new lock from under the left with one hand, while holding the hair with the other and lightly pressing it to the head. Place the left strand on top of the right, and then vice versa.

The "tourniquets"
This hair braiding is similar to a hairstyle withbraids-tows located on the sides of the head. The main difference is that the tows are twisted towards the face, not back. This option is very convenient today, when many women do not have enough time for themselves - there is definitely no time for braiding. When in the morning you want to bask in bed before getting up for work or school, a girl will probably prefer an extra ten minutes of sleep, rather than spend this time on styling. However, such a hairstyle will not take much time. It can be created using long and medium strands. Such a technique will help you to leave your ordinary image in an instant and turn into a fabulous beauty! You will need:
- comb
- chuck
- barrette
Part your hair in the front anywhere you likediscretion (however, it should end in the center of the crown), then in the process of weaving, continue it down exclusively in the middle of the back of the head. You need to weave the strands alternately, first on one side, then on the other. To do this, comb the hair to the left of the parting towards the back of the head. At the next stage of hair weaving, separate one lock of hair about two centimeters thick from the front. Twist it towards the face about three times, then clamp it in your left palm. With your right hand, take the next strand of the same size, which is located behind the first. Twist it in exactly the same way and place it on the previous lock. At the next stage of hair weaving, transfer the finished material to your left hand and hold it with your fingers (one lock between the ring and middle fingers, and the other between the index and middle fingers) so that both strands remain crisscrossed. Squeeze your fist tightly so that the whole structure does not fall apart, and separate a new lock, twist it, then pass it under the lower strand and put it on top. Change hands, connect both locks into one strand and put the rest in your left palm. Continue the same braiding of hair to the neck, then put on the clip. Do the same on the other side, then take the two ends of both bundles and connect them at the base of the head, braid a regular braid and secure it with an elastic band. There are different types of this hairstyle: the bundles are twisted forward or backward. You need to learn this type of braiding on your hair, so first ask a friend for help.
Braid in French
Hair braiding requires some dedicationtime, but the result will please you. Of course, in everyday life you can just tie a high ponytail, but when going to a holiday or some celebration, it is better to make a beautiful hairstyle. For this option, take a long ribbon, ideally with a metal thread. It holds better and looks more impressive. But keep in mind that braiding hair using this method is not easy, and you most likely will not cope alone. You will need:
- covered elastic band
- hair clips
- comb.
Always start braiding your hair by combing it.Then make a diagonal parting in the front and then move at a 45-degree angle to the middle of the crown and down to the back of the head. Now make several braids of hair in the form of French braids on each side of the head. In this case, the curls should not be too thick, tight and tightly fitting. So, put the ribbon under the first strand, leaving about fifteen centimeters on top. In the process of braiding the hair, pass it under each newly added curl - it should go from one side to the other, back, and also forward across the braid. After the indicated braids on the hair at the base of the neck, move on to a simple braid. Place the decoration under each strand that the next one crosses. When finished, secure the ends with an elastic band. The same technique of braiding a French braid is used for the other side of the head. Cross the braids at the base of the neck and tuck each one to the center, pin with hairpins, and make a bow from the ribbon.
Hair weaving in the salon
To make a beautiful hairstyle, you need notnot only time, but also some skills. Hair braiding should be dedicated to more than one day.

If you do not want to torture yourself in this way, contact a specialized salon. The English noun braid means "braid", "ribbon", and a person who is engaged in hair braiding, has mastered various types and techniques, is called a "braider". It is to such a professional that you should go if you want to create something unique on your head.

The master can perform it in two ways: with or without the addition of an artificial material. Give preference to weaving from hair with kanekkolon - it is more practical, it looks bigger and more beautiful, it lasts longer. Thanks to the props and braids on the head, interesting patterns are created - from parallel lines to complex images.
