- We separate neat strands about half a cm thick and to each of them we alternately weave two braids folded in half zizi. It is quite easy to do this, the main thing is to make the loop tighter at the base, so that in the future the braids do not slip.
- We complete the braids to the end of our own hair, fasten the ends with a loop.

Usually the length of the zizi braids is about 80 cm, you can correct it yourself by simply cutting it with scissors to the desired length and soldering the ends.
