This is done like this:

1. The hair is divided into three parts and a ribbon is tied into the middle part.
2. The left curl is placed on the middle one and, passing it under the ribbon, is laid on the right strand.
3. The tape is passed under the middle strand and laid between the 2nd and 3rd.
4. According to this scheme, they are braided to the end and tied with an elastic band or ribbon.
5. The links relax a little to give the hairstyle delicacy and lightness.

French braid

Weaving a French braid is available even for beginners, if you follow the step-by-step photo steps in the following sequence:

1. Take a wide strand at the crown (the wider, the more volume the hair will have).
2. Divide it into three parts. They begin to weave like an ordinary three-strand braid - put the right strand on the middle one, and then put the left one on top.
3. Holding the left and middle curls so that they do not fall apart, take a new one on the right side and attach it to the right strand of the main braid.
4. The right side is intertwined with the middle one, according to the principle of the classic version.
5. They take all the curls in the right hand, and grab a new one with their left hand and weave it into the left part. The resulting strand is thrown over the middle area of ​​the main braid.
6. Continue in the same sequence until the end. Continue from the base of the neck in the classical way.
7. Secure with an elastic band.

Danish braid

To weave this braid, the curls must be soft and obedient, therefore, immediately before starting, they are lightly lubricated with conditioner and sprinkled with water. If at first it is difficult to understand the technique, then you can learn from step-by-step photos for beginners. It is better to do such a hairstyle on the head that was washed 1-2 days ago, otherwise the hairstyle will not hold and will quickly disintegrate.

Work begins from the top of the head. Take a strand and divide it into three parts. The bottom line is that during weaving, the curls are not superimposed on top, as usual, but are placed under the bottom. Sometimes this technique is also called the "reverse French braid". At the end of the links, the hairstyles can be slightly relaxed to add volume and secured with varnish.

"Fishtail" step by step with a photo

1. First, the curls are treated with mousse or water so that they do not fluff and comb back (if there is a bang, then it is carefully separated).
2. Two thin strands (2-2.5 cm) are taken near the temples and crossed at the back of the head, right over left.
3. These strands are left in the right hand, and another one is allocated with the left hand. The new left one is crossed with the one that was right so that it is on top. The structure is easily pressed to the head.
4. Select the strand again, but from the opposite side. Cross it on top with the already woven one. And so on until the end. All strands should be approximately the same size.
5. Fix with an elastic band.

How to braid a braid with elastic bands

There are two options for using rubber bands:

1. With throwing.

Tie a tail (of any height) and divide it into 4 equal parts. The two extreme ones are connected together on top of the middle ones, and an elastic band is tied on them. Next, divide the lower curls into 2 parts and connect them from above, and also tie with an elastic band. The hair that was on top will now be on the bottom. And so on until everything is woven.

2. With threading.

Tie the tail and separate the top and bottom. An elastic band is put on top, stepping back from the one that holds the tail, a few centimeters. The lower strand is passed through the upper one, pulled up and also tied with an elastic band. The one that turned out to be below is passed through the top, tied with an elastic band.

And then on the same principle. At the end, you can loosen up the loops of the braid, adding fluffiness to the hairstyle. The main thing is to tie elastic bands at the same distance and do not forget to tighten them every time after the curls are pulled up.

Braid twist or harness

This hairstyle is uncomplicated, so it's easy to do it yourself.

1. A high or low tail is tied.
2. Divide into 2 (or 3) parts.
3. Twist each into a tourniquet, winding it around a finger.It is important - it is necessary to twist in one direction, otherwise nothing will work.
4. Weave the bundles together.

Weaving "Waterfall" for medium hair

Weaving braids (a step-by-step photo for beginners will help you understand the technique and quickly master the creation of even a complex modification) can be carried out using the "Waterfall" technique.

The "Waterfall" braid can be:

• four-strand;
• multi-row;
• around the head;
• volumetric.

Four-strand:

Braided in a straight or side parting. 4 strands are separated on the left side. The countdown begins from the face. The second is the thinnest, the rest are the same in volume. The 1st is carried out under the 2nd and over the 3rd, and the 4th - under the 3rd and over the 2nd.

Then a pick-up is made - a small number of curls from the total mass are attached to the extreme strand. Next, the 2nd is carried out over the 3rd, under the 4th.

The first curl is removed to the side. Replace it with a small amount of hair from the total mass, which is taken from the bottom, and carried out under the 3rd, over the 2nd curl. This is followed by the same combination with the addition of strands, but not only from below, but also from above. And so on according to the scheme.

Multi-row braid "Waterfall"

It is woven in a similar pattern, but in several rows. It should be noted that if there are several rows, then you should start at the level of the upper point of the ear.

The braids should run symmetrically relative to each other.

1. Around the head. It is woven in the same way, but from one temple to another. You can finish with the classic version or leave it loose.
2. Volumetric. To add volume to the hairstyle, the braids are pulled out, moving from end to beginning, holding with your hand. Fix with varnish.

Five-strand braid

From five strands, you can braid a classic or French, Danish or checkerboard braid using a ribbon. Countdown starts from the left. You should consider the basis of weaving a five-strand hairstyle, which is standard for all varieties (depending on the variety, additional steps are added to the main steps).

1. Stage 1 - the first 3 strands are crossed in the same way as when creating a classic look - the 1st is placed on the 2nd and passed under the 3rd, it is between the 2nd and 3rd.
2. Stage 2 - put the 5th on top of the 4th and skip under the 1st.
3. Stage 3 - 2nd over 3rd, under 5th.
4. Stage 4 - 4th under 5th, over 1st and under 2nd.

Braid in braid: master class

1. In the area of ​​the crown, a triangular-shaped area is selected so that the top looks inward. The end (corner of the highlighted triangle) is separated from the rest of the hair, and pinned, because it will be used at the end of the work.
2. The rest of the selected hair is braided using the braiding technology inside out, i.e. not put on top, but put under the bottom.
3. First, the stabbed tail is pulled outward and secured to the crown. The grips should be approximately equal in volume.
4. After the main braid is completed, they fluff it up a little and begin to weave the braids, which will be in the middle of the main one.
5. A thin upper braid is woven in the usual way and fastened with invisibility to the main one.

6. On the other hand, repeat the previous steps.
7. After the braids are the same length, they are tied together and braided in the middle using the same technique.
