For children

The simplest braiding can be mastered not only by women, but also by men who have to get their daughters ready for kindergarten or school. The simplest braids are three-strand braids. Weaving four-strand braids is more difficult, but it is worth it - such hairstyles look very unusual. What can we say about all sorts of other modifications - French braids, dragons, plaits, daisies and other methods! Having mastered these simple and beautiful methods of braiding, you will become a real master and will be able to change your hairstyles every day.

Braids are worn by both girls and women on weekdays and holidays. It all depends on what your braid style will be. To master simple braiding, it is better to first practice braiding a simple braid. It's easy to do. With the correct simple method of braiding, you will get a neat hairstyle, and its owner will not experience any discomfort.

How to weave the simplest braids

The simplest braiding begins with combing. Comb your pulled back hair with a wide-tooth comb. Comb the ends of your hair first, then gradually move higher and higher.

In this case, you will minimally injure your hair, combing will be almost painless, and your hair will untangle easily.

Before weaving simple braids, go through your hair with a soft massage brush. Divide all the hair on your head into three parts. Take the left part of the hair in your left hand, and the right part in your right hand.

Place the side strands alternately on the middle strand. In this case, the strand from the left hand will become central, and the strand that previously lay in the middle will go to the left hand.

While braiding, periodically stroke the strands of hair with your hands so that they do not get tangled with each other, are smooth and even. Braid the braid as long as you want.

Pay attention to the photo of simple braiding - a tail 10-20 cm long is always left at the end and secured with an elastic band or a hairpin.

Braiding four strands (with photo)

A four-strand braid is woven similarly to a simple braid. Look at the photo of a four-strand braid - before braiding begins, the hair is divided not into three, but into four parts and overlapped one after the other. Follow the path of the strands in the figure, and you can braid such a braid yourself.

1. To create a beautiful hairstyle with such braids, first part your hair with a straight parting, then separate the back hair and pin it up so that it doesn’t get in the way.

2. Weave four strands of braids on each side of your head and secure their ponytails with elastic bands.

3. Next, comb the hair at the back of your head and connect the braids with it. Secure your hair at the back of your head with a bobby pin or elastic band.

4. Comb your loose hair. The result is this hairstyle: there are original pigtails on the sides of the head, and a ponytail at the back.

French braiding with step-by-step photos

Below is a step-by-step description of French braiding with photographs.

2. Separate the hair at the top of your head and divide it into three sections.

3. Place one side strand over the middle one, similar to a simple braid.

4. Place the second side strand over the new middle strand. Now all three strands should be in one hand (left), but separately.

5. Next, grab a strand of loose hair from each side near the side strands, combine the strands on the sides and continue weaving. Place the enlarged side strands on the middle one and weave them as in a simple weave.

6. Thus, continue braiding by adding loose hair to the side strands and transferring strands from one hand to the other. While braiding, grab your hair tightly and keep your hands as close to your head as possible. Then the braid will turn out neat and will stay on your head for a long time.

7. Gradually grabbing any new loose hair on the sides of the braid, continue braiding all the way to the back of your head.

8. Having reached the back of the head, you can immediately fasten the loose hair with an elastic band - make a ponytail at the end of the French braid. Or you can continue braiding loose hair in the form of a simple braid. The choice is yours.

3. Having braided your hair to the back of your head, you can also immediately secure it with an elastic band or continue weaving in the form of a simple braid.

The braid needs to be braided tightly, then it will look neat and beautiful.

4. Comb the remaining ponytail with a brush. A longer ponytail looks more interesting, while a short ponytail looks more childish.

"Harvest"

For this hairstyle, all the hair is gathered into a ponytail, from which at least 10 braids are braided. Then they are secured with bobby pins, tucked under an elastic band, and the result is a slightly untidy, but this makes it even more romantic and original cocoon.

Fish tail

Braids for girls (100 hairstyles with step-by-step photo instructions are presented in this article) are made using a variety of techniques.

For a fishtail hairstyle, the hair must be smooth and manageable, so it is lubricated with conditioner or water.

The work begins at the temples, where two strands are taken from. They cross at the back of the head, the left under the right.

An additional strand is taken from the left and crossed with the right so that the new strand is at the bottom. Next, the strand is taken from the right side and then the entire fishtail is braided using this technology.

French or spikelet Weaving starts from the crown.

A large curl is divided into three parts, and the work begins with braiding the usual classic version. Then they gradually begin to weave in the hair from the sides.


The “dragon” hairstyle can be made from either three, two or four reverse French braids.

French Falls

Take 4 strands of the same volume at the temple, with the exception of 2, which should be slightly thinner than the rest.

Weave according to this pattern:

  • 1st under 2nd and on top of 3rd;
  • 4th under the 3rd and on top of the 2nd.

Then a little hair from the total volume is added to the outer strand.

  • 2nd above 3rd and below 4th;
  • then the 1st strand is removed to the side, and instead of it a curl is taken from the total mass;
  • the new one is carried out under the 3rd and above the 2nd.

Two French braids with hair added on one side

Another interesting option for braiding French braids is to gradually weave the hair into the braid on only one side.

Circular French braid
Snail Scythe


Basket

In appearance it resembles a wicker basket. Before starting work, the hair is distributed evenly from the crown. The basis is French technology.

With elastic bands

Braids with elastic bands are one of the favorite hairstyles for every girl. 100 hairstyles with step-by-step photos clearly convey the process of creating a hairstyle.

The most popular are two options: with a throw and with a thread. The basis is a high ponytail. It is divided into 4 parts, 2 side parts are connected at the top and tied with an elastic band. Divide the strand that remains below into 2 parts, throw them on top, connect them and also fix them with an elastic band. And so on until the end.

In the case of threading strands, the principle is approximately the same, but the technology is slightly different. The hair is not divided into two parts, but not into 4, that is, the top is separated from the bottom. They are alternately threaded through one another and secured with elastic bands.

Spiral (twist) or harness

Each strand (and there can be from 2 to 6) is twisted into a spiral and then intertwined with each other. An important point is that you need to twist the bundles tightly, otherwise everything will fall apart.

Swiss

The principle of weaving is the same as in the classic version, the only difference being that each strand is twisted into a strand.

Classic, spikelet or fishtail in tail

This type of hairstyle involves braiding using one of the techniques, but the hair is not loose, but tied in a ponytail.

Braid in braid

This hairstyle looks good on thick long hair. On the crown you need to make a parting that looks like a triangle, the tip of which looks inward. The hair of the selected triangular area is braided using reverse technology. And the remaining hair, gathered into a ponytail for convenience, is threaded through those that are braided and secured at the top.

After the base is braided, unfasten the threaded curls and braid them into a braid that runs right down the middle.

Snake

The work begins with dividing the hair along the side parting. From a small strand separated from the front, a French purl braid is made. Picking up is carried out only from one, external, side.

Next, the weaving turns in the other direction, and the pick-up is done on the other side, having reached the opposite edge, it turns around again and the side of the pick-up also changes. Thus, the braid is woven to the bottom and looks like a snake.

French inside out (Dutch, Danish)

Hair is lubricated with conditioner to make it soft. Weaving starts from the crown. You need to take three strands and start braiding a regular braid and add loose hair to the strands as you go.

But if in the classic French version the strands overlap each other, then in this variation, on the contrary, the strands are wound under each other.

French inverted

The work begins not from the top of the head, but from below the neck and braids upward. The remaining hair on top is either shaped into a beautiful bun or hidden inside.

French inverted, along the parting and diverging to the sides on the forehead

Weaving begins slightly above the back of the head. First, two partings are made in such a way that a triangle is formed, the sharp end of which is located above the back of the head, that is, at the beginning of the weaving. The selected strand should be of such volume that it can be divided into two parts.

Weaving is carried out towards the face. At the base of the forehead, the strand is divided into two parts and thin braids are braided from each. One is wound through the left side to the back of the head, the second through the right, and there they are connected.

Bun with a regular braid

Hair should be below shoulder length. They need to be combed well and tied in a high ponytail. Then they are wound onto a hairpiece designed for creating bun hairstyles (can be purchased at any specialty store).

Bun with two inverted braids

Braids for girls (100 hairstyles with step-by-step photos demonstrate that anyone who has a clear example of their implementation can master a hairstyle of any complexity) should be able to be braided by mothers who have daughters growing up.

The bun is done in the same way as in the previous hairstyle, but first, reverse French braids are braided on the sides, starting from the temples.

Their ends are tied into a ponytail at the back of the head. Next, a bun is made, but in this case, the ends are not braided, but hidden inside the bun and secured with invisible hairpins. This hairstyle looks more festive and elegant.

Five-strand braid with ribbons

One of the most popular options with ribbon is five-strand. Here two ribbons are used, which are woven so that in the finished braid they are placed in the middle of the weave.

Eastern This is a lot of small braids all over the head.

This hairstyle is quite practical and convenient, because if the weave is more or less tight and well secured with elastic bands, then you can wash your hair without even unraveling them.

Bunch

One braid is braided at the back of the head using a small amount of hair. The second is made from the remaining strands and is curled around the first in a ring, forming a bun.

Weaving with elastic bands

Braids for girls (100 hairstyles with step-by-step photos - a necessary guide for a beginner) are often woven using elastic bands, hairpins, and ribbons.

The required number of rubber bands is 11 pieces. The parting is not done in the middle, but slightly to the side. On the side where there is more hair, 4 horizontal partings are made, and these strands are tied into ponytails. The second and third tails are divided into 2 parts. Then the first ponytail and half of the second are joined together and tied with an elastic band, forming a new ponytail.

The same is done with the second half of the second and half of the third, and the second half of the third and fourth. Thus, you get 3 tails. Next, the first and half of the second, as well as half of the second and third are also joined together, and you get 2 ponytails, from which ordinary Russian braids are braided.

Headband

The name speaks for itself - the finished hairstyle is a kind of headband around the head. The parting is done horizontally in the front of the head so that only the frontal area is involved in the hairstyle.

Weaving starts from the temple using the French technique. Loose hair is usually braided into a classic braid.

The hair is divided into two parts using a horizontal parting. We separate a curl from the resulting parting, but not straight, but slightly slanted. French braid so that it goes obliquely. Then another curl is separated, but with an inclination in the opposite direction.

Heart

This hairstyle can have two options: when all the hair is involved and when not all the hair is involved.

Option 1

2 partings are made - horizontal and vertical so that you get 4 squares. Weaving starts from the lower middle edge of the upper right square (where the partings intersect), using the French braid technology with a fence of curls on both sides. Weave diagonally, that is, from the corner upwards, then round off the weaving, move to the lower right square and weave diagonally downwards.

The same is done with the other side and connected at the base of the neck. You can secure it with an elastic band and make a tail, or you can continue weaving and twist the tails of both braids into strands and intertwine them together.

Option 2

Make a vertical parting - from the forehead to the crown. Start weaving on the right side from the middle of the parting. Braiding - French braid with one-sided (external) grip.

As we weave, a heart shape is formed. The gripping is stopped shortly before the end of weaving. On the other side, do the same and connect them at the back of the head, leaving the end free. The lower hair is left loose.

Herringbone

The hairstyle has this name because the parting is made in the shape of a Christmas tree (zigzag). The braids start from the middle of the head, that is, from the narrow ends of the Christmas tree and diverge to the sides. At the end they can be tied into a ponytail.

Loop or flower in French technique

Braids for girls (100 hairstyles with step-by-step photos give you a choice) often help out those who want to create a fashionable but comfortable hairstyle.

This weaving, if you look at individual elements, resembles a loop, and if you look at the composition as a whole, it resembles a flower.

The parting is done crosswise, resulting in the formation of 4 sectors, in each of which a braid will be braided in the form of a loop.

A curl from one sector begins to be woven from the crown using the French braid technique, smoothly rounding it until a loop is formed. And so on in all four sectors. The loose ends are braided in a classic style and gathered into a ponytail. The braids in the ponytail are intertwined and look like a twist braid.

To make your hair manageable and easy to braid and style, you can use various products in the form of foam, gel, or secure uneven strands with hairpins. You also need a good comb.

Weaving a regular braid

The most common and familiar from childhood was an ordinary braid, braided from three strands of hair. Having divided the hair into three parts and observing the sequence, we intertwine the hair with each other.

First, we intertwine the third part with the first and second strands, then the first with the second and third, and the second strand with the third and first. It is important to ensure that the strands are pulled tightly and the hair does not come out. Having finished this hairstyle, you can use a regular elastic band, a beautiful hairpin or weave a ribbon.

Braiding two braids

On thick, heavy hair, two braids will look great and original.

The photo shows a hairstyle with two braids.

For this hairstyle, the hair must be divided into two equal parts. Now each of them needs to be braided in the usual way, but it is important to make sure that the braiding of both braids starts from the same level.

Braiding a spikelet

Braiding a “spikelet” braid will be a little more difficult than a regular one, but the braiding technique is very similar, so you can do it. You should start braiding the same way as with a regular braid, only you need to take not all the hair, but only the top part and divide it into three equal strands. It is important to evenly distribute the strands so that the braid ends up looking even. We begin to weave the strands like a regular braid and slowly weave new small strands of hair from the remaining hair on the side. In this way, continue to weave strands into the main braid until the hairline on your head ends.


Loose hair can be pulled up or braided into a regular braid.

If the “spikelet” is not voluminous enough, you can fluff it slightly with a comb. The “spikelet” will last a very long time in excellent condition if it is braided as tightly as possible.

Fishtail braiding

We comb the hair back and divide it into two equal parts. We take each of the strands in our hands. Using the index finger of your left hand, select a thin strand of hair from the side (about 2.5 cm) and move it to the right side, securing it with your right hand. Then, with the index finger of your right hand, separate the same strand on the right and move it to the left, securing it with your left hand.

We repeat these steps until we reach the end. We tie the end of the braid with an elastic band or decorate it with a hairpin.

French braiding

Comb your hair and separate part of the hair from the top from the parietal area. Divide the strand into three equal strands and begin to weave, first placing the left one on the center one, then the right one on the center one. Then place the left strand over the center one and add the left strand to it. Now place the right strand over the center one and add a strand of hair to it on the right.


The photo shows a French braid from the side.

In this way, alternately add strands to the weave on the right and left. Tighten the loose ponytail with an elastic band or braid it into a regular braid. Once you start braiding a French braid, you can easily experiment. This French braid pattern, also suitable for two braids, a side French braid and a side braid.

This hairstyle is very convenient for everyday life; once you learn how to braid a “French” braid, it will become your favorite.


French braiding from bottom to top

Weaving this braid must begin from the back of the head, moving towards the crown. Use the weaving pattern of a regular French braid. You can complete your hairstyle by tying the ends into a bun or ponytail.


Inverted French Braid

Comb your hair. Take a section of hair and divide it into three equal parts. Place under the central strand, first the right and then the left strand. Place the right section under the center section adding a section of hair on the right. Now place the left one under the center one, adding part of the hair on the left to it.


The loose ponytail can be styled into a simple braid or ponytail. By stretching the braid a little, you can make it more voluminous.

Braiding Waterfall

Comb your hair in a side parting and begin to weave a regular French braid horizontally from the forehead towards the temples. Then we place the top strand on the middle one, separate a small strand from the top from the free ones and place it on the middle one, while releasing the lower part. Near the thrown bottom strand of loose hair, separate a small strand and place it on the middle one. We repeat this each time adding a braid of loose hair to the top strand, place it on the middle one and release the bottom strand, replacing it with a new one.

Braiding 4 and 5 strand braids

Braiding such a braid requires special skill and skill. To begin, you need to comb your hair back and divide it into five equal strands. Cross the right strand with the strand closest to it.

We cross the most central strand with the strand that was on the right. Then we cross the central one with the one to the left of it (not the outermost one). Now cross the leftmost one with the adjacent strand on the right. When braiding, try not to pull the braid too tight. Now braid the second row following this pattern. Such actions must be performed until the braid is woven.


Swiss braiding

The “Swiss” braid is woven in the same way as our regular three-strand braid, but each strand must be twisted with a strand. This hairstyle looks quite unusual and elegant, so it will be a godsend for both work and leisure.

Braiding tourniquet

First you need to collect your hair in a ponytail, then divide it into two equal parts. Then twist the right strand of hair towards the right, about 3-4 turns, and hold it tightly with your hand. Do the same with the left strand.

Now you need to carefully cross both strands, making sure that they do not unwind. As usual, secure the ends with a tight elastic band.

According to the pattern of twisting one braid, you can braid two. To do this, comb your hair in a middle parting, following the pattern, twist one part of the hair, then the other. Loose hair can be twisted together, braided, or left loose.


Braiding "Wreath"

Take a small section of hair from your temple and divide it into two equal parts. Then wrap the bottom part around the top and connect the strands into one. Now take a small strand from the loose hair below and wrap it around the top double strand. Next, continue to weave in this manner, adding strands of loose hair from below, wrapping around the top strand and joining them together. Secure the end of your hair with an elastic band and carefully hide it under the resulting wreath.

Braiding "Crown"

Weaving "Linno Russo" with ribbon

At the top of the head, separate a small strand of hair and put a ribbon on top of it and cross it. Next, select the strand below the previous one (Fig. 3), divide it into two parts and wrap each with the ends of the tape, so that the strands are at the bottom of the hair, and the tape is on top. Next, we again add strands of loose hair, separating them with a horizontal parting. We fix the resulting braid by tying a ribbon; you can also give the braid additional volume by slightly stretching the strands.

Knot braid

A knotted braid is very easy to make and will look elegant and neat. Separate the top part of the hair and divide it into two parts. Tie these parts together from right to left or vice versa (Fig. 1) like a regular knot. Next, add strands to the remaining free edges of the hair and tie the knot again, do this until all the hair is woven. The end of the braid can be secured with an elastic band and wrapped to the bottom.

Weaving a braid "Bow"

This braiding is more of a decoration for an already woven braid; it is quite simple to do. First, you need to braid the braid, leaving a thin strand of hair parallel to it; it is from this that you will later form bows. After the braid is braided, we separate a small strand from the loose hair left for the bow and spray it generously with hairspray, then bend it in half to form an ear. Using a hairpin, carefully thread the eyelet under the braid, holding it with your hand.

Braiding a braid “Snake”

Separate the top strand of hair from the side and divide it into three equal parts. Start braiding a regular French braid, adding strands only from the top. When braiding, you should lead the braid along an inclined line, bring the braiding to the temple and make a turn of the braid, we braid the braid further by adding a strand as before on top, ignoring the bottom. If you have long hair, you can make turns along the entire length, depending on your desire. When braiding the lowest braid, the hair is picked up both from below and from above. The ends of the hair can be braided or left free.

Braiding "Basket"

At the crown of your head, select an area of ​​hair and gather it into a high ponytail. From the top we begin to weave a regular French braid, each time adding strands of free hair on the right, and from the tail on the left, you need to take them of such thickness as to be enough for the entire braiding. Thus we weave in a circle. Having reached the place where weaving begins, we begin to weave a regular braid. We fix the end with an elastic band and hide it under the base of the tail; for greater fixation of the hairstyle, you can also secure it with bobby pins.

Braiding "Snail" braid

Separate a small strand from the middle of the head and divide it into three equal ones. Then we begin to weave a regular French braid but with one grab on the right. At the beginning, it is important to take small strands so that there is enough hair for subsequent circles. Next, we braid the braid over the entire head, moving in a circle. We carefully fix the tip of the hair and disguise it under a hairpin.

Braiding "Flower"

To create a flower from hair, you need to braid a regular braid, but you need to braid it not up, but down (inverted braid), you need to braid it without tightening it too much.

Braided hairstyle "Butterfly"

Choosing an evening hairstyle is no less important than choosing a beautiful evening dress. On the day of the celebration, every woman wants to be perfect and original.
