We take another part of the hair under the just tied and weave another knot.

Weaving braids step by step photo: varieties

The braid is not only one of the most feminine but also practical hairstyles. With braided hair, you can safely walk through the whole day without the fear that it will get tousled. Moreover, such a hairstyle is quite versatile and looks natural and harmonious both in a business setting and at a youth party.

There are several main types of braiding:

• classic Russian;
• European: Swiss, Greek, English, Dutch and the famous French weaving;
• eastern: braids (side braids), ropes, threads, braids, zizi, curly, rastas, etc.; the last three types can be used for short hair;
• designer: "French waterfall", braids of knots, Lino Russo, "basket", "dragon", "fish tail", "figure eight", etc.

The best way to master any of the techniques is to watch video tutorials on the topic or study pictures of step-by-step braiding. Moreover, for any of these weaves, you can use not only your own hair, but also overhead strands or hairpieces. Their color can either be combined with your own hair color, or contrast with it: the main thing is not to use more than three colors at the same time.

Advice! Recently, the so-called careless styling has become very popular, which can be used for any type of weaving. But even in this case, the strands should be pulled together evenly and not get out of the general style. Otherwise, the hairstyle will just look sloppy.

Classic braids

The traditional Russian braid has long been a frequent guest on many famous catwalks: the Valentino fashion house, theatrical shows of Victor & Rolf, Emerson, etc. Today it is presented in various variations: from weaving on the back, sides or crown of the head to creating the most intricate hairstyles out of two and more braids. However, it is not difficult to master even such complex types of braiding with the help of step-by-step photos.

The traditional Russian braid consists of three equal strands, which are intertwined alternately. It can be not only smooth, but also voluminous, slightly tousled, multicolored, asymmetrical, or used in combination with other types of hairstyles. At the same time, the hair can be divided into a straight or oblique asymmetrical parting or not at all. The density of the weave and the number of strands used can also vary.

One of the varieties of the Russian braid is weaving "spikelet": a technique that allows you to achieve volume and splendor of the hairstyle. In this case, only two strands are used with the sequential addition of new ones. The order in which they are added can be different. However, in order for the hairstyle to look neat, the thickness of each new strand added must be the same.

Advice! Perfectly smooth braids look too strict, so you should allow individual strands to knock out a little.

Straight from Europe

Designers distinguish between several weaving options that came to us from Europe:

• Swiss braid: braided according to the Russian principle, but before that, each of the strands is twisted into a tight braid, due to which the hairstyle looks more voluminous; such weaving goes well with any style and looks great both with jeans or an open summer dress, and with a business or cocktail suit; the step-by-step weaving of such braids for medium hair or hair of the maximum length can be seen below;
• French weaving: unlike the "spikelet", the strands are not woven one on top of the other, but are laid inside; the braid begins with a small bun, divided into 3 main strands, with the gradual addition of additional ones every 2-3 cm so that at the end of the weaving all the hair is collected; strands can be taken from one or two sides; weaving can be direct (towards yourself) or reverse (from yourself); start from the top of the head or run over the entire head in the form of a wreath;

• English: its only difference from the Russian version is that weaving begins with a "horse" tail, fixed at the back of the head or closer to the crown; a similar braiding for long hair is shown in a step-by-step photo;
• Dutch: braid "inside out"; the braided strands do not hide inside the hair, but rise above them;
• Greek: a combination of smooth hair and a braid that resembles a headband that runs all over the head; in this case, three small strands are taken closer to the parting, the rest of the hair is stabbed for a while; small strands are gradually added in a circle, with the help of which such a braid rim is firmly held on the head; there may be two braids, in which case they start from two sides of the parting, and then split into one at the back of the head.

Advice! Stylists advise to make a small bouffant at the roots before weaving. It will make your hair more voluminous and your hairstyle more feminine. This technique is especially relevant when creating evening hairstyles.

Oriental tales

A distinctive feature of such hairstyles is intricate shapes and the presence of large, eye-catching ornaments:

• plaits (Sinhalese braids or twisted braids): hair is divided into two equal strands, each of which is twisted in one direction; then both strands cross and twist in the opposite direction; harnesses can be used in combination with loose strands, tail, side braids, etc.;

• braids-ropes: a side parting is done on the hair, and weaving (twisting two small strands) begins on the side where there is more hair; when passing such a braid around the head, new small strands are added; at the level of the back of the head, it intertwines with the bulk of the hair in the direction opposite to the main weaving;
• Afro-braids (braids): many small braids, weaving from the back of the head to the temples; you can dissolve them freely, create one or more thick braids out of them, make a tail out of them, twist them into a shell, etc.;

• zizi: a variety of braids, ultra-fine artificial hair braids created using machine weaving; are woven into each individual strand of their own hair;
• curly: the method is similar to zizi, but the curls are twisted into a tight spiral; can be used for building.

With the help of step-by-step photos for beginners, braiding can be mastered quite quickly. The main thing is patience and utmost attentiveness.

Advice! Unraveling small braids is quite problematic. To facilitate this procedure, before creating a hairstyle, you should thoroughly rinse your hair with a cleansing shampoo, and then apply any quality balm to it.

Modern design techniques used in weaving

In recent years, braid hairstyles have received the most unexpected renditions. However, any design techniques are, in fact, improved ethnic versions of the Russian, European and Eastern options:

• "French waterfall": resembles the usual one or two braids, starting at the temples and ending at the back of the head; however, each lower strand is released to "free float" and falls freely on the back. The hairstyle can have all sorts of variations: be asymmetrical, pass over any part of the head, sag, etc. Can be used even on short hair;

• braid of knots: two strands are connected together using a series of knots; at the same time, both part of the hair can be intertwined (one or two small knots are used as a kind of decoration), and their entire volume;
• Lino Russo: a combination of knots and spikelet technique. After each knot, new hairs are added to the already selected strands; for such a hairstyle, the hair should be cut evenly and be the same along the entire length;
• "Snake": the usual French braid is not located along one line, but wriggles over the entire surface of the head; may have 2-3 or more reversals;
• "Basket": part of the hair on the crown is gathered into a high ponytail, then a regular French braid is woven from the temple, alternately adding a strand of ponytail and loose hair;

• weaving "cornrow": classic Afro-braids are located all over the head in the form of a geometric pattern resembling rows of corn (from the English corn - corn and row - a row); to obtain such a pattern, each miniature braid is woven in the manner of a classic French braid.

Advice!To facilitate braiding, when creating a hairstyle from braids, you can use any styling means: foam, varnish or gel.

Braiding for short hair

Thanks to improved weaving methods and the availability of modern fixation tools, you can decorate yourself with braids even with short hair:

• "Headband": two braids are braided at the temples, and then fastened with hairpins at the back of the head;
• parting from braids: a plexus of side strands located on one or two sides of the face;
• bangs with a double oblique: the upper part of the face is framed by two small braids;
• a pigtail around the head: can be located in any part of it, run over the entire head, or located to the left, right of the face, or braided only at the back of the head;
• "French bangs": long bangs can be removed to one side in the form of a French braid; since in the case of a short haircut, the hairs will invariably stick out on the sides, you should beat and tousle the rest of the head of hair so that it looks as organic as possible;
• a combination of punk style and a French braid: some of the curls are combed in the form of a mohawk; the side strands are braided.
