• comb, preferably with a thin tip;

• ribbon or braid, depending on the weaving technique.

The 5-strand braid is one of the most interesting and fashionable in our time. Recently, it has become very fashionable to wear a braided hairstyle. There are many variations of braiding and many are quite simple to do and can be done at home. Many people think that it is very difficult to braid it, but appearances are deceiving and braiding it is as easy as shelling pears. It will take a little longer to braid a 5-strand braid than a classic French braid.

A 5-strand braid can start from the temple and go diagonally down to the opposite shoulder. You can also make it vertical, starting from the level of the bangs or at the back of the head. It is advisable to have sufficient thickness of hair, otherwise such hairstyles will emphasize their shortcomings, and the places where the strands are collected may look like bald patches. You can create a real masterpiece from very thick hair.

How to weave a five-strand braid?

Before you start weaving, you need to prepare the necessary tools:

• massage comb. We will need it to thoroughly comb our hair and get rid of tangled curls.
• light fixation varnish. By applying hairspray before braiding, you will prevent hair from falling out of your hairstyle.
• a thin comb with fine teeth and a long shaft at the end to highlight the parting
• an elastic band or a hairpin. Helps secure your braid
• accessories for decorating hairstyles. They will help give your hair a more festive look.

If you are familiar with the classic three-strand braid, then the pattern for weaving a 5-strand braid will be approximately clear to you; all that remains is to clarify some of the nuances.

Step-by-step weaving technique

1. Comb dry, clean hair thoroughly. A small nuance - if you
   If you want to get a tight braid, lightly wet your hair using a spray bottle filled with water.
2. As you already know, a 5-strand braid starts from the side of the forehead and ends at the ear line. Separate a small part of the hair from the right or left side of the head.
   Divide the selected part of the hair into three identical pieces.
3. After this, you need to place the first strand on the second, then on the third.
4. Now we need to select a quarter of the hair on the left side of the resulting braid.
5. After this, we put 4 tufts under the second, and then on top of the third,
   as if forming a checkerboard pattern.
6. Then, near the temporal zone on the right side, we separate another, fifth strand. We pass it under the first and over the fourth. Our weaving continues using strands 2,3 and 5.
7. It is necessary to place a second strand under the third and over the fifth.
8. The third one is pulled up, and then we separate another part of the hair and
   add it to the second one. We lower the third strand down. Our weaving will now consist of strands 2,4 and 1.
9. We lift the fourth clump up. Select a new part of the hair on the right side and place it next to the first strand. Then, you need to bring the first one over the second and thread it under the third. We lower the 4th strand down. Using this technology, we continue to weave as long as the length of the hair allows.

5-strand checkerboard braid

A 5-strand checkerboard braid is woven using ribbons. Once you start weaving such a braid, you must constantly pull it and prevent the ribbons from twisting. The maximum width of these patches should not exceed 1.5 cm. In this technique, we weave in exactly the same way on the other side. With each new turn we braid loose curls to the main hair. Strands located on the side do not need to be pulled tight. Only the tapes should be tight.

Step-by-step technique for weaving a five-strand checkerboard

1. Comb your hair so that there are no tangled strands left.
2. Separate part of the hair from either the right or left side.
3. We fold the finished ribbon in half, and attach the place where it is folded with an invisible pin to the separated hair.
4. We divide the selected part of the hair into 3 identical parts, and in the interval between the second and third we stretch two ribbons that will replace the two missing strands.
5. We start weaving a checkerboard braid from the leftmost strand. We thread it under the second, then we put it over the third strand of the ribbon, and then under the fourth strand of the ribbon.

French five-strand braid all over the head

A 5-strand French braid can be positioned either in the middle of the head or diagonally.

1. Comb your hair, then select three identical parts of hair on the top of your head
2. Having made 1 turn of classic French weaving, we begin to gradually weave small strands from the sides. To make weaving more comfortable, lift strand number 2 located on the edge and lay it towards the opposite side.
3. We braid a braid of 5 strands, gradually adding hairs as long as the length of the hair allows.
4. We tie the end of the braid with an elastic band.

Using this technique you can braid two or more braids.

5 strand braid

A 5-strand braid is more difficult to weave than a 3-strand braid, so you shouldn’t hope that everything will be done perfectly in one go. It’s worth practicing well, mastering weaving, and studying photos. At first, a diagram will help you weave a spikelet of 5 strands. You also need to know that such a braid looks best (and is easier to do) on straight hair. The effect is lost on wavy curls, but if you really want to show off a fashionable hairstyle, you can try straightening it with an iron before work.

• Comb;
• Hair band or hair clip;
• Hair fixation spray;

1. Hair needs to be combed thoroughly. To prevent them from being magnetic and make it easier to work with, you can lightly spray them with varnish.
2. At the temple, 3 strands stand out and the usual three-part French braid begins.
3. 1 strand is added on both sides to make 5 and a braid of 5 strands begins to be woven.
4. The first strand is superimposed on the second, then the third on the first.
5. The fourth strand over the second and then over the third.
6. The fifth strand is placed on the first and under the fourth.
7. A kind of chess weaving is performed. Tiebacks are periodically added on both sides.
8. The braid is performed as long as the length of the hair allows and the end is fixed with an elastic band or hairpin.

If you need to make a tight braid, then the strands need to be moistened with water. But most often they make openwork edges, which add volume to the braid and create the impression of very thick hair.

Chic 5-strand braid

Braiding on natural hair requires some preparation:

• First, stretch out the entire fabric with an iron or hairdryer to make the task easier for yourself - smooth, straight hair is much easier to handle, and it is also easier to track the direction of each curl.
• Secondly, if they are very long, it is recommended to periodically moisten the working mass during the process, since the ends will get tangled.

1. Comb the entire length of hair well and divide it into 5 equal parts. Which half you start weaving with does not matter. For convenience, we suggest proceeding exactly as indicated in the diagram.
2. Take 3 parts in your left hand, stretch the outermost one under the one on the right and throw it over the next one - the one that is central for all 5 strands.
3. Hold them in the given position, then move on to the remaining ones in your right hand: stretch the outermost one under the adjacent one and throw it over the central one (for all parts).
4. Repeat the above steps: pull the leftmost strand under the adjacent one and place it crosswise over the middle one. Then bring the one on the far right out from under the adjacent one and above the middle one.

Continue weaving according to the given pattern, remembering to smooth the ends after each couple of steps so that they do not get tangled. This hairstyle looks most attractive when its links are perfectly smooth, dense, and shiny. To achieve this, the hair must be moisturized and well combed with natural bristles. If they are very thin and not thick, it is recommended to first backcomb the entire length, then smooth each strand from the front side, and only then start creating a braid.

Classic 5-strand braid

1. Comb the entire mass of hair back, separate a thick horizontal layer from the top, and divide it into 3 equal parts. Cross the left strand over the middle one, then cross the right strand over what is now the middle one (formerly the left one): a classic start to a regular 3-strand French braid. After this, lift the side parts up and secure them with a clamp - they will not be needed temporarily.
2. Now grab from the free mass of hair (top layer) a wide strand equal to the one that remained untouched - the middle strand in the braid. Repeat the previous steps again: cross the new right strand over the middle one, then cross the new left strand over the middle one. Here it is important to maintain the primary direction: if you started weaving with the left, then each next level also start with the left.
3. Secure the middle strand in place with a duck clip, lift the side strands up and leave them there - they won’t be needed temporarily. And let go of those that were previously at the top: now they will become working side ones. This trick will allow you not to get confused in the number of parts and make the weaving as neat as possible.

“Basket” of 5 strands

This is a type of fashionable weaving that will effectively decorate your head. The difference from the classic method is that only the side strands are involved in the process. The main thing is not to confuse them.

1. Divide your hair into five equal zones. Start working on the left side.
2. Thread the leftmost ponytail into the rest of the strands in this order: over, under, over, under.
3. Now he was on the far right.
4. Take the ponytail lying next to it to the left and thread it under, over, under.
5. Now he's on the far left.
6. The nearest right tail becomes the working one.
7. Thread it in the same order as the previous ones.
8. Secure the finished result with an elastic band.

5-strand checkerboard braid

When the rightmost strand (working) is included in the work, pinch it between the fingers: the index and middle of your right hand. Place it under the next one, which you hold with your left thumb. Throw it onto the first ribbon ponytail, holding it with the index and middle fingers of your right hand. Pinch the strand with the same fingers of your left hand and pull it under the second ribbon ponytail. Then - on top of the outermost pinned strand and release it. You can check the correct execution like this: you should get from left to right: two strands, two ribbons, one strand.

You will need:

• hairpin;
• ribbon;
• invisible;

1. Separate a section of hair at the top of your head.
2. Fold the ribbon in half and attach it under the crown area.
3. Divide the separated crown area into three equal parts.
4. The result is five ponytails: a curl ponytail, two ribbon ponytails, and two curl ponytails.
5. Secure the left strand with a bobby pin for convenience.
6. Next, weaving is carried out according to the “basket” principle: place the far right one under the bottom of the nearest strand, then up (first ribbon), down again (second ribbon), and up.
7. Weave the leftmost one also, adhering to the checkerboard order.
8. Secure the finished result with a fixing agent.
9. Tie the tip with a ribbon bow.
10. It is important that the tape is at least one and a half centimeters wide.
11. Otherwise the chessboard look will not work.
12. To ensure that the curls do not fall apart and the final look is attractive, you must adhere to the correct placement of your fingers.

5-strand braid at an angle

Only the weaving starts not from the top of the head, but from the temple and goes down in a diagonal direction:

1. Comb your hair thoroughly.
2. If they are magnetic, you can spray them with varnish.
3. We also select three strands near the temple and begin to weave the usual braid.
4. Next, you need to add two strands on both sides and weave from five.
5. Place the first strand on the second, the third on the first, the fourth on the second and on the third, the fifth on the first and under the fourth.
6. Thus, it turns out something similar to a chessboard.
7. Weave the braid as long as the hair is long enough, then finish and tie with an elastic band.

4. Insert your index finger and little finger between strands 1 and 2.
5. Use your little finger to pick up 1 strand.

8. Using your middle finger, grab 2 strands, and place your index finger under 4 and grab
9. Now you need to extend your right hand to the ends of your hair.
10. This way you can straighten your hair.
11. Do the same with the other hand.
12. Now you need to add another strand to the strand between the middle and index fingers.
13. Now repeat steps 3-5.
14. All hair should be in one left hand.
15. Now repeat point 7, only add a strand on the other side.
16. Now weave in this manner until you run out of hair.

Step-by-step instructions for beginners

There are several different patterns for weaving a 5-strand braid. Consider all the options and decide which one is easier and more affordable for you. It is believed that the easiest way to weave a pigtail is based on the tail. Thanks to the elastic band, the hair does not fall apart, so it is more convenient to hold it in two hands.

№1

Using this method, braiding is not very difficult:

1. Comb damp hair.
2. Pull it into a random ponytail: high, low, side.
3. Divide all hair into 5 identical parts. Mentally number them from left to right.
4. Place strand No. 1 (far left) over No. 2 and pass under No. 3.
5. Place the fifth part (far right) on No. 4 and place it under what is considered the third at this stage (you will see that this is the “former” strand No. 1).
6. For convenience, re-number the curls from left to right so as not to get confused. Repeat all the steps from the beginning: intertwine the first strand with the second and third, then the fifth with the fourth and third. Number again. Continue doing this until you have tied all the loose hair into a braid.

If it is more convenient for you to train on colored threads or ribbons, use the same technology, shown in the following diagram:

№2

The next technique is practically no different from the first. The difference is that the 5-strand braid starts on the right instead of the left. In general, the algorithm looks like this:

• strands are numbered from 1 to 5 starting from the right edge;
• No. 1 is intertwined with No. 2, and then with No. 3;
• No. 5 is crossed with No. 4, after which the one in the center is thrown onto it;
• the process is repeated, returning to the strands on the far right. Then - similar actions on the left;
• continue this sequence until the end of the tail.

Advice. Fluff the braid - slightly stretch the curls with your fingers.

Various options

Having mastered simple weaving techniques, move on to more complex options. It's easier to do them on someone else than on yourself. Please be patient and carefully study the step-by-step instructions with detailed explanations.

3. Start weaving a traditional spikelet: cross the central curl with the right and left parts.
4. After the first weave, grab the free part of the hair on the left - this is a new strand. Place it under the one closest to it on the right and move it over the center one.
5. Separate the 5th strand of hair located on the right side. Do the same as with the previous curl: place it under the one closest to it on the left, and then on the middle one.
6. Continue braiding in the same way, picking up new parts of hair, first on the left, then on the right.
7. When the free strands run out, finish the braid without them, along the main length. Tie the end with an elastic band.

Diagonally

The following algorithm will help you understand the technique:

1. Above the right ear, separate a small strand and divide it into 3 parts.
2. Cover the other two curls with the rightmost curl.
3. On the left side, select a new strand of the same thickness as the rest.
4. Place it under the curl closest to it and bring it above the middle part.
5. Select a new strand on the right side. Treat it the same way as at the beginning of weaving: move it over the two closest ones.
6. On the left side, separate a new section of hair and add it to the outermost curl.
7. Then pass the resulting strand under the nearest one and over the middle one.
8. Do the same on the right side.
9. Braid the braid diagonally, alternately adding new curls on both sides.
10. Place the remaining hair in a side ponytail or braid.

With one tape

The hairstyle looks elegant. The tape does not complicate the task: it replaces one of the strands. In general, the weaving algorithm looks like this:

1. The hair is combed back.
2. At the top of the head, a wide part is separated from which the braid will be woven.
3. The selected ribbon is tied underneath it, leaving only one end long. The accessory is attached to a thin strand in order to mask this place with a braid in the future.
4. From a wide selected part of the hair, 4 curls are formed, mentally numbering them from left to right. The tape plays the role of another strand - No. 2.
5. Curl No. 5 (far right) is placed under No. 4, and then passed over No. 3.
6. A tape is laid on top of the middle one (formerly No. 5). Now she is in the center.
7. The leftmost strand No. 1 is placed under the nearest one (No. 5). The tape is passed over it, returning it to its previous position, second from the left.
8. Add some loose hair to the far right part and repeat the same steps.
9. When it comes time to cross the leftmost strand, a new small curl is also attached to it.
10. The braid is woven using the same algorithm. Don't forget to add loose hair on the right and left.
11. Having reached the back of the head, the braid is braided without additional curls and secured at the end with an elastic band.

With two ribbons or thin braids

This option is simpler than it might seem. Here 2 strands are immediately replaced with ribbons. In addition, the weave is formed on the basis of the tail. You can use one long ribbon or two shorter ones. If desired, choose multi-colored stripes. Weaving algorithm:

1. Pull your hair into a ponytail. Tie a ribbon over the elastic, leaving 2 approximately equal ends.
2. Divide all the curls from the ponytail into 3 equal strands. Position and number them so that both ends of the tape are at positions #3 and #4.
3. Place strand No. 1 under No. 2. Draw ribbons under the first part. Curl No. 1 will be in the fourth position from the left.
4. Place the fifth (far right) strand under the first (which is now next to it). Beneath it are ribbons, crossing them with each other.
5. Perform identical steps on the left, then on the right.
6. Repeat until you have your entire ponytail in a braid.

In the same way, you can braid an original five-strand braid, in which thin braids play the role of ribbons. Divide the ponytail into 5 strands, numbered from left to right. From No. 3 and No. 4, braid regular spikelets. Next, be guided by the technology you already know.

By the way. You can do a French braid in the same way. Start weaving from the top of your head, fixing the ribbon under the first strand. Alternately add loose curls on both sides of the loose hair.

"Chess"

A checkerboard pattern is also formed using one or two ribbons 1–1.5 cm wide. Take black and white or colored stripes. It is important that they are rigid and do not curl. Before starting work, review the diagram. The ribbons on it are highlighted in pink and red. The algorithm is reminiscent of braiding a braid with two ribbons, but there are differences.

Step by step description:

1. Comb your hair and, if necessary, moisturize or wax it.
2. At the top of your head, separate a wide strand from which you will form a braid.
3. Lift this part and attach two ribbons under it using bobby pins. You can take one strip of fabric, fold it in half and secure it in a similar way.
4. Lower your hair and form 3 strands. Place them between the tapes as indicated in the diagram. Number all parts. Tapes are No. 3 and No. 4 (Fig. 1 in the diagram).
5. Pull curl No. 1 under No. 2, then over No. 3 and under No. 4. Now the strand that was on the far left will become the fourth (Fig. 2).
6. Follow identical steps on the right side. Place curl No. 5 under the one next to the left, then pass it over one and under the second ribbon (Fig. 3).
7. To the leftmost part, add some loose hair from your head and repeat the same algorithm: bring the nearest curl under the ponytail, throw it over the first ribbon and place it under the second. This strand will become second from the right or fourth from the left. (Fig. 4 on the diagram).
8. Do the same with the last right part. Add some hair, place it under the nearest curl, then over one and under the second ribbon (Fig. 5).
9. Make sure the bands are taut at all times. It turns out that you braid them on both sides, forming a checkerboard pattern.
10. Reach the end, following the same pattern.
11. Secure the end of the braid with an elastic band and tie a bow from the tails of the ribbon.

Such a braid can become one of the elements of a hairstyle. Braid it without using additional strands. For example, separate a narrow part from one of the temples. Don't pull your hair too tight to create a lace weave.

In the form of a basket

This method is reminiscent of basket weaving, because the position of the working strand constantly alternates under and above adjacent curls.

1. You can braid the braid all over your head or lay it on one side, as in this case:
2. Comb your hair, divide it into 5 parts. Mentally number. No. 1 is the one on the far left, if you are going to lay the braid on the same side.
3. Place No. 5 over No. 4, then under No. 3, over No. 2 and under No. 1.
4. Now take curl No. 1 and stretch it in the same way above and below all neighboring ones, observing the sequence.
5. Alternate braiding until the end of the hair.
6. Tie the end of the braid with an elastic band.

If desired, straighten the curls a little with your fingers to make the styling more voluminous.

1 AND 2 SIMPLE FIVE-STRAIN BRAID AND 5-STRAIN FRENCH BRAID

Weaving pattern:

The weaving pattern for these braids is the same, only the French braid is woven from the top of the head, and the simple braid is woven from below.

1 Separate a strand of hair at the top or bottom and begin to weave a regular braid of three strands (place the right strand ON the middle one, and then the left one, also ON the middle one);

2 On the left, separate another strand and pass it UNDER the nearest one and OVER the next one;

3 Now take a new strand on the right and pass it UNDER the nearest one and OVER the next one. Now you have 5 strands. To make it more convenient to weave, take 3 strands in your left hand, and the next two in your right hand;

4 Next are 2 weaving options:
if the braid is braided from below, and you immediately divided all the hair into 5 parts, then continue to braid according to this pattern until the end;
if you braid from the crown, then you will get a French braid of five strands!

Then we continue:

5 To the leftmost strand, add a strand of hair from the head (hereinafter referred to as the braid), move it UNDER the nearest one and ABOVE the next one;

6 Then add a braid to the rightmost strand and again draw it UNDER the nearest one and ABOVE the next one.

7 Is the diagram clear?! - then continue to weave the braid, adding strands one by one from the right, then from the left. When you run out of braids, continue braiding like a regular five-strand braid!

8 Pull out the outer strands for volume. Just do it carefully! It's better to start from the bottom up.

Side checker braid

Recently, it has become very fashionable to wear a braided hairstyle. There are many variations of braiding and many are quite simple to do and can be done at home. The 5-strand braid is one of the most interesting and fashionable in our time. Let's figure out what it is to weave a 5-strand braid.

Every girl is familiar with classic French. Our braid is woven using almost the same, but more complex technique of 5 strands. Many people think that it is very difficult to braid it, but appearances are deceiving and braiding it is as easy as shelling pears. It will take a little longer to braid a 5-strand braid than a classic French braid.

How to weave a five-strand braid?

The 5-strand braid hairstyle is braided in the same way as the French braid and is braided diagonally, starting from the forehead and ending at the ear line, gradually going down if the length of the hair allows. It will be quite difficult for yourself to do such a hairstyle for the first time. Remember that a 5-strand braid should only be done on clean and dry hair. It will be more difficult for girls with curly or curly hair to master braiding, so before starting the procedure, straighten your curls with an iron. On straight hair, a 5-strand braid will look much better.

Before you start weaving, you need to prepare the necessary tools:

• massage comb. We will need it to thoroughly comb our hair and get rid of tangled curls.
• light fixation varnish. By applying hairspray before braiding, you will prevent hair from falling out of your hairstyle.
• a thin comb with fine teeth and a long shaft at the end to highlight the parting
• an elastic band or a hairpin. Helps secure your braid
• accessories for decorating hairstyles. They will help give your hair a more festive look.

Detailed instructions for weaving

If you are familiar with the classic three-strand braid, then the pattern for weaving a 5-strand braid will be approximately clear to you; all that remains is to clarify some of the nuances.

Step-by-step weaving technique

1. Comb dry, clean hair thoroughly. A small nuance - if you
   If you want to get a tight braid, lightly wet your hair using a spray bottle filled with water.
2. As you already know, a 5-strand braid starts from the side of the forehead and ends at the ear line. Separate a small part of the hair from the right or left side of the head.
   Divide the selected part of the hair into three identical pieces.
3. After this, you need to place the first strand on the second, then on the third.
4. Now we need to select a quarter of the hair on the left side of the resulting braid.
5. After this, we put 4 tufts under the second, and then on top of the third,
   as if forming a checkerboard pattern.
6. Then, near the temporal zone on the right side, we separate another, fifth strand. We pass it under the first and over the fourth. Our weaving continues using strands 2,3 and 5.
7. It is necessary to place a second strand under the third and over the fifth.
8. The third one is pulled up, and then we separate another part of the hair and
   add it to the second one. We lower the third strand down. Our weaving will now consist of strands 2,4 and 1.
9. We lift the fourth clump up. Select a new part of the hair on the right side and place it next to the first strand. Then, you need to bring the first one over the second and thread it under the third. We lower the 4th strand down. Using this technology, we continue to weave as long as the length of the hair allows.

If you pull out the sides of the braid you will have 5 strands, some call it a 5 strand braid. We tie the finished braid with an elastic band and decorate it with accessories to suit your taste.

5-strand checkerboard braid

A 5-strand checkerboard braid is woven using ribbons. Once you start weaving such a braid, you must constantly pull it and prevent the ribbons from twisting. The maximum width of these patches should not exceed 1.5 cm.

Step-by-step technique for weaving a five-strand checkerboard

1. Comb your hair so that there are no tangled strands left.
2. Separate part of the hair from either the right or left side.
3. We fold the finished ribbon in half, and attach the place where it is folded with an invisible pin to the separated hair.
4. We divide the selected part of the hair into 3 identical parts, and in the interval between the second and third we stretch two ribbons that will replace the two missing strands.
5. We start weaving a checkerboard braid from the leftmost strand. We thread it under the second, then we put it over the third strand of the ribbon, and then under the fourth strand of the ribbon.

In this technique we weave in exactly the same way on the other side. With each new turn we braid loose curls to the main hair. Strands located on the side do not need to be pulled tight. Only the tapes should be tight.

French five-strand braid all over the head

A 5-strand French braid can be positioned either in the middle of the head or diagonally.

1. Comb your hair, then select three identical parts of hair on the top of your head
2. Having made 1 turn of classic French weaving, we begin to gradually weave small strands from the sides. To make weaving more comfortable, lift strand number 2 located on the edge and lay it towards the opposite side.
3. We braid a braid of 5 strands, gradually adding hairs as long as the length of the hair allows.
4. We tie the end of the braid with an elastic band.
