French braid headband

This lightweight braid will definitely decorate any lady and is suitable even for short hair. If the child has a bang, then you can separate it, and, if desired, braid it into a braid.

• Start braiding away from the ear and slowly work your way up to the second ear.

• Bury the end of the braid with an invisible piece, an elastic band, or secure it with a beautiful bow.

To keep the bezel smooth, apply a little foam or sprinkle with varnish on the strands you plan to braid. Such a pigtail looks more impressive if it is not pulled tight.

French waterfall

This is one of the most romantic braids for a casual look or a special occasion. It is a variant of the French weaving technique, but it is complicated by some points. Recommended for long hair, it looks less impressive at medium length.

Algorithm for creating a braid French "waterfall":

1. Part your hair in a side part, and then part your hair into three sections.
2. Weave a classic spikelet, up to the temple. At this point, it is required to release some of the lower strands.
3. Cross the middle and right curls. Lower the left strand down, taking the strand from above instead. Cover it with a loose curl, and let the right side of your hair down. The result should be the first "trickle of the waterfall".
4. Only two strands should remain in the hand. Take one more of the remaining hairs and continue braiding all the way to the opposite temple.
5. Secure your hair with hairpins and secure the end with a ribbon or bow.

Before proceeding to weaving a braid "waterfall", you should master the French technique well, as well as learn how to quickly weave a spikelet.

French braid for short hair

This is one of the prettiest weaves to use on short hair. When creating a hairstyle, you can use a ribbon, bow or regular hairpins. Algorithm of creation:

1. Comb your hair at the side or back of your head.
2. Divide the curls into three equal parts.
3. Bind several times using the traditional technique.
4. Place the left strand in the center and add some loose curls to it.
5. Repeat the manipulation on the right strand.
6. Continue braiding in this manner until the end of the length.
7. Lock the tip of your hair.

The main advantage of French weaving is that the braid can be placed on any part of the head.

Preparation for weaving

Even the most manageable hair needs to be prepared before styling.This is important not only to simplify the weaving process itself, but subsequently it will save the hairstyle from deformation and loss of shape during the day.

Plus, in childhood, the curls have a weak structure, so during styling they can be damaged and harm health.

Hair preparation before braiding comes down to the following simple rules:

• before braiding the strands, they must be thoroughly washed, and if necessary, use a balm or mousse. An exception is fluffy hair, the weaving of which provides for insignificant moisture;
• it is recommended to use styling products. For girls, it is best to use soft mousse or foam formulations;
• if necessary, you need to prepare the entire tool in advance, as well as decorative elements for fixing;
• to avoid the problem of tangling hair, it must be combed thoroughly. A flat wooden comb is best for this purpose;
• the choice of weaving should take into account not only the length of the head of hair, but also the shape of the face. Choose only those techniques that are compatible with the type of appearance;
• before creating a complex hairstyle or styling, especially for special occasions, you can pre-curl several strands.

It is necessary to decide in advance on the form of styling and weaving technique. Children do not concentrate well enough even for a short time, so the hairstyle should be done as soon as possible.

Benefits of pigtail hairstyles

In addition to the fact that this hairstyle looks neat, beautiful and aesthetically pleasing, it is also practical, which is especially important when it comes to children who rarely sit in one place. Any other styling quickly disintegrates and loses its original appearance.

Despite the variety of types of weaving, there are some standards and principles that remain unchanged - these are the so-called blocks.

Each of them has turns of strands and their interweaving, characteristic only for one or another hairstyle. Having mastered several techniques, you can combine them.

Some braids for girls are most popular due to their ease of braiding, others are less popular due to the complexity and time involved in creating them.

However, you can easily find many hairstyles with step-by-step photo instructions.

Weaving rules with ribbons

Ribbons give the hairstyle originality and attractiveness

When using ribbons, it is important to remember the following points:

• As a rule, narrow satin ribbons are used. Wide ones are rarely used.
• For the image to be harmonious, special attention should be paid to the color of the ribbons.
• Before weaving, the ribbons are attached invisibly to the hair at the base.

This hairstyle is done for 10-15 minutes. And it looks gorgeous.

• We prepare the hairs for the hairstyle: straighten and comb them, lightly spray with varnish, make a parting.

• Separate a strand of hair near the temple, which will serve as the basis for our braids.

• Divide the strand into 3 parts, as for a regular braid. We will add strands during weaving only from the bottom of the head, that is, we will have a half-hair. From above we weave like a simple pigtail.

• When you get to the end, you have several options to complete your hairstyle.

1. You can form a small bump or bunch.
2. You can plait a pigtail.

• We will tie the tail, decorating it with a ribbon.

Three French braids - dragon

The "dragon" hairstyle can be done from three, two or four reverse French braids.

French inside out (Dutch, Danish)

Conditioner is applied to hair for softness. Weaving starts from the top of the head. You need to take three strands and start weaving a regular braid and add loose hair to the strands as you go.

But if in the classic French version the strands are superimposed on 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 the bottom of the neck and braids up. The hair remaining on top is either formed into a beautiful bun, or hidden inward.

French inverted, parting and spreading to the sides on the forehead

Weaving starts just 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 above the back of the head, that is, at the beginning of 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 pigtails are braided from each. One winds up through the left side to the back of the head, the second through the right, and there they connect.

Buttonhole or flower in French technique

• This weaving, if we consider the individual elements, resembles a loop, and if you look at the composition as a whole, it resembles a flower. The parting is done crosswise, as a result of which 4 sectors are formed, in each of which a braid will be braided in the form of a loop.
• A curl from one sector begins to weave from the crown of the head using the French braid technique, smoothly rounding it until a loop is obtained. And so in all four sectors. The loose ends are braided in a classic style and gathered in a ponytail. The braids in the tail are intertwined and look like a twist.

French coca with woolen barrel

The French style can be made even more beautiful and refined, if you supplement it with an unusual thread of wool. The sequence of actions is as follows:

• Starting off the forehead, write the usual French code, but leaving unoperated one small span behind the yoke from each side.
• Raise the strands neatly and tie in the tail on the back.
• Divide the tail into two parts and, using the clutching bird, pull the halves of the square to form the bant.
• Set aside the tips so that you get the butterfly.
