Basic braids

Spit braids on long hair is easy, especially for everyday images. The hairstyles themselves can be slightly sloppy or smooth, when weaving we usually use only a hairbrush and hairpins.

Classic braid

Traditional braid of three strands is the simplest:

1. The hair should be divided into three identical parts.
2. The right strand should be thrown over the center.
3. Repeat this action for the left strand.
4. Alternately alternating strands, finish the braid to the end, fastened with an elastic band.

In a simple braid, you can weave a tape by placing it on the wrong side of the two extreme strands. This will add romantic notes to the image.

• For sports, a classic braid is suitable, which runs from the hair pulled into the ponytail.
• Add a hairstyle with a classic spit, the center strand of which is also braided in the usual way.
• The long hair looks spectacularly spit braided on one side. To do this, the entire volume of hair is combed to one side, divided into three parts, after which the ordinary braid is plied.
• Two braids will always look feminine and romantic, do not need to tighten them, it is better to join the strands freely, slightly pulling them out for volume, creating a slightly careless image.
  
  
  

French braid

Unlike the classic braid, the French spins from the crown or from the bang:

1. Separate part of the hair near the forehead, dividing it into three equal strands.
2. The right strand should be thrown over the center stripe, adding some of the hair on the same side to it.
3. Repeat the action for the left strand.
4. Similarly, weave the rest of the hair into the braid, making sure that the thickness of all three strands is the same.
5. Finish the braiding with a classic braid or assemble the hair in the tail.

Giving a hairstyle elegance is possible by removing the end of the braids inside and fixing it at the base, or by twisting it in a laconic bundle and hooked on the side with the help of pins.

Looks like a hairstyle when a French braid runs from the back of the neck to the top of the head, after which all the hair gathers into a tall tail or bun.

Reverse French braid

When weaving the reverse French braid strands are thrown over each other not from above but from below. Due to this, the braid appears to lie over the head, creating the illusion of thick hair.

French braids can add a hairstyle volume that will suit girls with fine hair. To do this, you need to pull out a part of the curls, loosely collect the strands in a pigtail. Do it better as we weave, and not on the finished scythe.
