But let’s tell you a little secret: with an assistant, things will go much faster. The instructions, weaving patterns, photos and videos presented here will make the process of creating a fashionable hairstyle in 2016 easy and enjoyable.
The basic principle of French weaving is the gradual weaving of additional small strands into the main 3 strands. Before starting to create a hairstyle, we advise you to sprinkle your hair with water, moisturizing it, and comb it thoroughly. After this you need to comb your hair back. For those with thin hair, it is better to add volume to your hair by brushing it lightly. If your hair is thick, you don't need to do this.

To make the braid more attractive, we recommend weaving a ribbon into the French braid. You can use tape made of any suitable material. The main criterion is that its color should be in harmony with the color of the outfit and the color of the eyes. Braiding a braid with a ribbon is no different from the “classic” braiding option, there is only one significant exception.
As soon as the hair is combed and the selected main strand is divided into three parts, under the resulting central strand you need to pin the ribbon using a bobby pin. Next, you need to continue weaving with a ribbon. The tape should lie flat, without kinks or twisting.
This hairstyle is also called the “Dutch braid”. We advise you to start braiding this hairstyle only after mastering the classic braiding option. In addition to some skills and a comb, you will also need accessories: a hairpiece and hairpins.
This type of hairstyle is suitable for girls with any hair type. Prepare accessories in advance - brush, hairpins, combing spray.
