Many hours of experimentation were not in vain, and now we have a great variety of options for weaving braids. Every woman has in her beauty arsenal at least three or four options for braiding hair with subsequent styling.

In beauty salons and hairdressing salons, skilled craftsmen will make any weaving of your choice.

Three-strand braid

There are two ways to braid a pigtail of three strands with a ribbon: from curls collected at the back of the head, the so-called ponytail, or by simply braiding the main hair mass. In any form, the braid will turn out well, and with a ribbon woven into it, it will look even more beautiful. This hairstyle is perfect for every day for women, girls and girls.

Consider an option for making a three-strand braid with a ribbon braided from the tail.

1. First you need to prepare a tape of the desired width. Its length should be almost twice the length of the hair itself. The ribbon is folded in half and a small bow is tied at the fold.
2. Hair should be tied up in a tight ponytail, combed in such a way that no “cocks” remain on the head.
3. Tie a textile bow to the tail, carefully straightening its elements.
4. Then divide the curls into three waves and start braiding, leaving the first row without a ribbon.
5. On the second row, you need to stretch the tape between the strands, grabbing and weaving it on each row. It turns out such a pattern of weaving the ribbon: between the left and middle strand - up, then back down - between the middle and right.
6. So weave until the end, then fix the braid from below.
7. To create an eccentric and special look, you can create a side braid by first pulling your hair into a side ponytail. A delicate thin tulle ribbon will perfectly adorn your hairstyle.

Simple

In just a few minutes, you can braid yourself a simple spikelet. It is woven quite simply, unassuming in care and looks great at the same time, especially with a ribbon. There are a lot of variations in weaving a spikelet. We will focus on the most popular and fastest of them.

So, the strand of hair at the crown needs to be divided into three parts. Start braiding as usual. On the second row, weave loose hair into strands while adding a thin ribbon in the middle. Weaving all the hair in this way, reach the end, ending in a three-strand way.

Then, securing your hair with an elastic band, tie a bow. You can wrap the pigtail inside and additionally decorate with a decorative hairpin.

You can also braid the strands into a double spikelet. To do this, divide the hair in half with a parting, and then braid a spikelet from temple to ear on each side using the technology described above. In this case, the tape is woven almost at the very end, at the junction of the two braids into one. Weaving is also completed in a three-strand way.

Obliquely

4. You need to start the bindings according to the following scheme: draw the first strand under the second and above the third, transfer the fourth strand to the place of the third.
