Hairstyles created with a variety of types of braids take up a bit of free time but give amazing results. Every fashionista gets a chance to stand out thanks to unusual, fashionable and individual hair styling. Here are some fun ways to do your braids at home to help create a look for any event.

Reverse French braid

A variation of the French braid, woven on the contrary, is also called "dragon". It runs identically classic version, but with the only difference - the method of crossing the strands when weaving is slightly different. So, the French braid is the other way around:

We select the area from which weaving will begin.
We take hair from this part of the head, divide it into three parts.
We put the left part under the central strand, and then do the same with the right one.
Again, separate the new strand to the left of the bulk of the hair, connect it to the left strand and put it under the middle part.
We connect the new right strand to the right part and also shift it under the central one.
We create a braid further, braiding new parts to those strands that are from the edges, placing them under the middle strand.
When we get to the neck, we need to switch to a standard three-piece braid.
We take out the strands from the sides to make the "tail" more voluminous.

4-strand square braid

A pigtail made of four strands always looks interesting and trendy, but it is very simple to do. This hairstyle goes well with many styles of clothing and is suitable for women of all ages. Algorithm for weaving a "square" braid:

It is necessary to wash your hair, apply a volume fixing agent to the hair, dry with a hairdryer.
We comb the hair back, "hide" the parting.
We divide our mop into four identical parts.
We take the extreme strand on the right side, transfer it to the adjacent part.
We perform the same action in relation to the third strand, throwing it to the left from the edge.
We cross the central strands.
To securely fasten the weaving, we cross the strands located at the edges (1 from 2, 3 from 4), as stated in paragraphs 5 and 6.
We continue to work, focusing on the alternation of points 5, 6, 7.
All that remains is to secure the hairstyle.

Voluminous 5-strand braid

An irresistible image will help to create a unique braid, which is woven from 5 parts. If you follow the advice from the instructions exactly, you will get a beautiful and original hairstyle. The weaving pattern is as follows:

Comb your hair well, moisten slightly with water.
We will weave at the back, so it is necessary to comb the hair to the back of the head and divide it into five parts.
We start forming from the left side.
The right strand from the edge (5th) must be drawn over the central (3rd) and fourth strands.
We hold this section of hair tightly. We start braiding on the left side: draw the outer strand over the 3rd and lay under the 2nd.
You need to go back to the 5th strand in order to put it on the 4th and run it under the 3rd.
We carry out the manipulations described above until the braid is completely ready.

How to braid an openwork braid on your side

The "lace" braid is created on the basis of different braids that are braided from the side. Openwork hairstyle can be given by pulling individual tufts of hair. The lace weaving technique depends on the number of strands in the braid: a base of 3, 4, 5 parts. Here is the simplest and beautiful option, in which 3 strands will be involved:

We divide the hair into a side parting.
We separate the first strand next to the parting, the one that is located closer to the forehead. We divide it into three equal parts.
We weave a braid, according to the principle of a reverse spikelet, slipping locks of hair under the bottom.
We take additional new strands from one side (along the hairline).
When the braid is ready at the crown of the head, then we choose new hooks from the free hair on the back of the head. Carefully weave the strands that are located on the other side of the parting.
At the time of the formation of the hairstyle, we pull out some strands, freely holding the braid (we do not pinch the ends).
After all the loose hair has been collected, we braid an openwork braid using the "down" method, not forgetting to sometimes pull the strands.
We fix the finished hairstyle with a hairpin or ribbon.

How to weave a braid around your head

The headband, made with a neat braid, looks very delicate and elegant. It is also called the Greek braid. This type of weaving is always relevant and suitable for a variety of appearances. Algorithm for creating a braid-rim:

Wash your hair, dry your hair a little.
Comb thoroughly.
The creation of a kind of wreath is similar to the pattern of weaving a spikelet. New strands are added exclusively from the side of the bangs, because otherwise the bezel simply won't work.
Select three thin strands from the side next to the temple.
The first strand on the back of the head fits into the second. You need to carefully separate them with your fingers and hold them, gradually adding a new portion of the material to the pigtail.
We repeat these movements until the second temple. The braiding should be loose, no need to pull the hair tightly.
Starting from the second temple, weave the braid down, adding strands on both sides.
When you get a braid of the required length, we fix it with hairpins or hairpins. For a long-lasting effect, you can fix your hair with varnish.

The scheme of weaving a braid-waterfall with a ribbon

With the help of an extraordinary braid-waterfall, every girl or woman can create an easy, romantic image... This hairstyle looks like a snake braid. Weaving with a ribbon is performed according to the following simple scheme:

We make a classic parting.
Separate the “square” next to the parting, divide it into three equal parts.
We tie the ribbon to the central strand, and its short end must be hidden in the process of creating a hairstyle.
We begin to form a braid of the standard type, laying the side strands under the middle one. The right strand and tape must be at the top.
The main "trick" of this method is wrapping the central strand with a tape. We leave the lowermost part of the hair free, replacing it with a new strand and continuing the braiding process.
So we move down to the other side of the head.
After the waterfall braid reaches the ear level on the other side, we finish the weaving with the classic braid without adding new strands.

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: harnesses ( 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", "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 evenly and not knocked out of general style... Otherwise, the hairstyle will look just messy.

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 of the head, sides or crown to creating the most intricate hairstyles out of two and more braids. However, to master even such complex types of braiding with the help of step by step photos not difficult.

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 options for weaving 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; this kind of weave goes well with any style and looks great as with jeans or 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; similar braiding on long hair shown in the step-by-step photo;
Dutch: braid "inside out"; the braided strands do not hide inside the hair, but rise above them;
Greek: combination smooth hair and a braid that resembles a rim that runs over the entire 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-rope: a side parting is done on the hair, and weaving (twisting two small strands) begins from the side where 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

V last years hairstyles from braids 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 pigtails;
a pigtail around the head: it 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 case short hair 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.
