Level of difficulty: average
1. Comb your hair and make sure that there are no knots on them, and the curls lie exactly.
2. Separate a part of the hair in the center (move from the crown, in a circle) and secure it with an elastic band (the thinner the gum, the neater the hairstyle is). This will be part A.
3. As a result, you should have a “band” of hair about 5 cm wide. This will be part B.
4. Assemble the hair of part A into the ponytail and allow it to fall freely. If any strands hang over the face - do not remove them.
5. Take strands from the left ear from part B and begin to weave a French braid out of them. When you put your hair on top, grab a strand from part A. During the weaving of the underside, add hair from part B. Try to keep the braid clearly along the border between the parts - this will help to visually hide it.
6. Continue weaving as in step 5, placing the braid along the head, until you reach the base of the pigtail.

2. Take all the hair and divide it into three strands. Make the first “stitch” of the usual braid.
3. After the first weave, at the edges you need to release the strands (take the most distant strand on the left, remove part of the hair from above and shift it forward. If you are braiding someone, take a hairpin, ask the model to hold the strands or grab the tip of the hair with your teeth). To make it more beautiful, grab wider strands at the base and narrower - closer to the end of the tail.
4. Now lay the side strand in the center, continuing to weave the classic braid.
5. Repeat step # 3 with the rightmost strand, then lay the remaining strand in the center.

The traditional Russian braid consists of three equal strands that are intertwined alternately. It can be not only smooth, but also voluminous, slightly disheveled, multicolor, asymmetric or used in combination with other types of hairstyles. Hair can be divided into straight or oblique asymmetrical parting or not at all parting. Weaving can also vary the density of weaving and the number of strands used.
One of the varieties of Russian braids is weaving "spike": a technique that allows you to achieve the volume and pomp of hair. In this case, only two strands are used with the sequential addition of new ones. The order of their addition may be different. However, for the hairstyle to look neat, the density of each new added strand must be the same.

How to choose a braid?
Even a beautiful and flawlessly executed braid can not go to your face. Therefore, before learning the lessons and patterns of weaving of braids, for beginners we recommend to learn about the types of individuals. To hide your flaws and highlight the benefits, you need to understand which hairstyle suits you best.
On this occasion, it is best to consult with a stylist who has the opportunity to look at you. But we will tell you a little. There are 6 main types of faces: round, oval, square, rectangular, triangular and pear-shaped. Here are some basic tips for them:
- If you are the owner of an oval face, do not worry - any hairstyle will do. You can either create a contrast with one big braid, and evenly cover your head with pigtails,
- Elongated face: avoid long and thin braids that visually stretch it. Your hair should be short
- Square: thin, light and "airy" pigtails soften the face and give it femininity. An asymmetrical hairstyle is perfect for you. Try to put a few braids on the side of the head, without making them on the other. This type is a bit more complicated than the others, and its owners need to study the step-by-step braiding of braids out of hair, which will be slightly lower.
- Round: you can (and need!) Weave thin and long braids that stretch your face. It’s better if they are in the back and not at the sides,
- Triangular: cover your broad forehead with the beginning of a pigtail or bang. At the bottom of the head, the hairstyle should be wider than at the top. Two short pigtails ending at the chin / neck level will help with this. They will also close the protruding cheekbones,
- Pear-shaped: “expand” the upper part of the face. It is easy to make braids running along the crown. In addition, it is desirable to cover the wide cheekbones, temples and ears. Spit on the sides perfectly cope with this.
- Women who want to return hair softness and beauty, you need to know the rules of care for curls.
- To achieve beautiful and healthy hair, you can use castor oil, more in our article.

How to weave a volumetric braid: step by step photos
Pigtail can be braided in the center of the head or start weaving from the side. Beautifully pigtail looks, braided diagonally to the side. In general, having mastered this uncomplicated weaving, you can create a lot of beautiful styling, which will be based on a volumetric braid. Here everything depends on imagination, but we can always work out the technique and skill of weaving.
The first step is to separate the wide strand in the place where you want to weave the braid: you need to forehead or over the ear for a side braid. The wide strand is divided into three strands of the same thickness.
Do you know how to weave a simple pigtail of three strands? Start as if you wanted to braid it - the usual braid. Only with one difference - strands are enclosed under the bottom. The extreme strand (No. 1) must be placed under the middle strand (No. 2).
Now the same thing needs to be done with another strand. Place the leftmost strand (# 3) under the middle one through the bottom.
Now you need to braid strands of the total mass of hair on the sides. To do this, add a new thin strand of the total mass of hair on the right and joins the existing extremely right strand.
And already such a double strand needs to be put through the bottom under the middle strand.
Repeat the same on the other side. We take a strand from the total mass of hair on the left, connect it with our extreme left strand and cross it from the middle through the bottom.
We continue, repeating similar actions. We direct weaving on the conceived line.
After all the hair will be woven into the braid, you can tie a tail or continue weaving the usual braid, repeating the motif of binding - the extreme strand is enclosed under the middle one through the bottom. The secret of a wide, openwork braid - gently pull two fingers along the edges of the already woven strands, alternately straightening and slightly pulling them out. No need to pull the entire protruding edge, just pull 1/3. That is, the center of the braid should remain strong weaving.
