Beautiful long hair- the pride of any girl. The range of standard styles for long hair is very limited, and very long hair is uncomfortable to wear loose. Braids come to the rescue. Weaving a variety of braids is not difficult to learn.

The main advantage of braided hairstyles is variety. Depending on the weaving and decorations, the braid will be appropriate for both a business style and a chic one. festive styling. Correctly selected braids are suitable for any type of hair, even thin ones. A hairstyle with braids will add variety and well-groomed appearance to your look.

However, trichologists warn that if hair is weakened and prone to loss, it is not recommended to wear tight braids often.

Some braids are quite difficult to perform, so you need to calculate in advance whether there is enough time for the intended hairstyle.

How to choose a braided hairstyle to suit your face shape?

Face shapes are divided into the following main types: round, oval, triangular, square, rectangular. A properly chosen hairstyle with braids will hide imperfections and highlight the advantageous aspects of your appearance.

Braiding

To make the braid easy to braid and look beautiful, you must first comb your hair well and, if necessary, apply styling product. For some types of weaving, you will need a comb with a thin sharp end to separate the strands; for fixation, you will need bobby pins, silicone rubber bands, and hairpins.

Russian braid

The Russian braid is the simplest and at the same time the most effective type of braiding for long hair. It is the braid that has always been a symbol of girlish beauty and feminine strength.

To make a braid, the hair must be divided into three equal parts. Next, the side strands are thrown in turn over the middle one. The braid can be braided by pulling it tightly from the back of the head; a beautiful youth hairstyle can be achieved by combing the hair to one side and braiding it loosely.

Spikelet or French braid

The spikelet is often called a French braid. You can do the braid yourself. The hair should be combed back, with a medium-sized strand at the base of the forehead. The strand is divided into three equal parts.

The strands are intertwined like a regular braid, but with each braid, strands from the remaining unused side hairs are added to the side strands. Weaving continues until all the free strands are in the braid. The remaining free hair is braided into a regular braid.

Greek braid

This hairstyle combines the spikelet technique on long hair and a regular braid.

First, you need to part your hair with a straight or side parting. One part of the hair needs to be pinned up, a small strand should be separated from the remaining hair and divided into three parts.

To start braiding, you need to weave several braids of a regular three-strand braid, then add strands of loose hair, then weave a regular braid again.

When the braid has gone around the head, you need to weave a regular braid from the remaining hair. A circular Greek braid is woven in the form of a crown from temple to temple.

The main difference between a Greek braid and a French braid is that when braiding a spikelet, strands are added with each braid, but in a Greek braid several braids do not need to be done every time. For the braid to look beautiful, the braid should not be tight.

Reverse French weave

Reverse French weaving looks very impressive. Weaving begins as a standard spikelet: you need to comb your hair back and divide the strand selected at the base of the forehead into three parts.

Weaving is different from regular topics that when weaving a spikelet, the strands are thrown on top of each other each time, and when weaving a reverse braid, the strands are held under the middle one. Otherwise, the technique is the same: with each new braid, additional strands of loose hair are added to the side strands.

Fish tail

Sometimes this weaving is called a “spikelet”. Curly hair is not suitable for braids.

The hair needs to be divided in half, then a thin strand is separated from the outside of one of the halves, for example, the left one, thrown over this half into the middle and combined with the right half.

Now the same thin strand is separated from the outside of the right half, thrown into the middle and combined with the left half. Using the same pattern, weaving continues until the braid is ready. The result is fixed with rubber bands. To make the braid look neat, you need to separate thin strands of the same thickness.

Waterfall

A waterfall braid, also known as a cascading braid, is a combination of braiding and loose long hair. Weaving always begins at the temple from any convenient side.

After the first crossing of the strands, the lower strand must be released and left to hang freely. To continue weaving on three strands, you need to separate the strand from above, make another braid and leave the bottom strand again.

The waterfall braid can be braided in a straight line around the head, lowered to the back of the head, or you can start braiding from both sides and connect both parts at the back. You don't have to braid all your hair into a waterfall.

At any time, the waterfall can be continued as a regular spit. Having finished weaving the waterfall, you need to secure the braid with bobby pins so that the weaving does not fall apart. If you curl the remaining hair, then pretty haircut becomes festive.

4-strand braid for long hair

A 4-strand braid looks unusual and will fit into any style. The hair should be divided into 4 equal parts. The rightmost strand is thrown over the second strand from the right, as if an ordinary Russian braid is being woven.

But then the working strand is passed under the next strand and becomes second from the left. Then the leftmost strand is thrown over the second strand from the left and passed under the next strand. Weaving continues in the same pattern.

Braid twist

This original braid does not require any braiding. In fact, this is an inverted ponytail hairstyle, repeated several times. For the hairstyle you will need small silicone rubber bands. The hair is combed to one side and secured with a silicone elastic band. The hair above the elastic is divided in half.

The tail is threaded through the resulting hole and pulled out. This is the first twist. Then the hair is again picked up with an elastic band a little lower, the tail is again threaded through the hole, a second twist is obtained. Weaving continues as long as there is enough hair. The twists above need to be pulled out a little to make the braid look voluminous.

Flagella braid

A braid made of flagella is well suited as a business hairstyle. Hair collects in high ponytail and are divided into two equal parts. Each part must be twisted into a bundle, for example, counterclockwise. The resulting strands are woven together, the result is fixed with an elastic band or a hairpin.

You can also braid a braid of flagella using the spikelet technique. In this case, the original strand needs to be divided into two parts, each twisted into a bundle. When weaving, the added strands must be combined with the existing strands, twisting them into the main strands. Loose hair can be styled as desired.

Snake

This hairstyle is also called a zig-zag braid. Braiding should start from the side. A strand is separated at the temple and divided into three lobes.
Standard French weaving is performed, but with some features:

1. The braid is directed not down to the back of the head, but to the other temple;
2. The side strands are picked up only from above;
3. The lower strands remain free. They will be needed further.

Having brought the braid to the other temple, the weaving needs to be unrolled and continued in reverse side. Side strands are again added only from above. Weaving must be continued until the free strands run out. We braid the remaining hair into a braid.

The snake made using the reverse French weaving technique looks very beautiful. Flowers and beautiful accessories will turn the snake into a festive hairstyle.

Ponytail with braid for long hair

The combination of a ponytail with a braid gives room for imagination. You can braid one or more spikelets to the middle of the back of the head and then collect the hair in a high ponytail. On the contrary, you can gather your hair in a ponytail and braid any of the described braids or even several.

Malvinka

Simple hairstyle provides incredible opportunities for imagination. The front and side strands are combed back and secured with a silicone elastic band or bobby pins.

At the same time, they can be twisted into flagella or braided into simple braids, connecting them together. Next, the strand already united at the back can be braided using any of the above methods.

Shell

The finished hairstyle really resembles seashell. There are two main options for braiding. In the first case it weaves french braid from the temple diagonally down, while the side strands are picked up only from above. Having finished the diagonal, you need to continue weaving a regular braid and secure it with an elastic band.

Then, a little lower than the first braid, you need to braid another one in the same direction from the temple, diagonally down. Additional strands are woven only from above. As a result, there should be no loose hair left.

The lower braid is twisted into a bun, and the upper braid is twisted around it. The bundle is fixed with hairpins. The second version of the shell braid is to weave one French braid diagonally from the temple down to the back of the head and then along the lower part of the back of the head to create a soft arch.

The side strands are picked up only on one side; there should be no loose hair left. Next you need to braid your hair and wrap it in a circle to make a shell. The hairstyle looks very beautiful if the braid is made using the reverse braiding technique or like a braid " fish tail».

Crown

To get a crown, you need to braid long hair. Beautiful styling It works only if the braid can be wrapped around the head. The braid is made using the spikelet technique from the base of the neck in a circle. The hair is divided into two equal parts.

One part is designated as the working part, and weaving begins with it. At the base of the neck, a strand is separated and divided into three parts. The spikelet weaves along the hairline towards the forehead. Starting from the middle of the forehead, you need to continue braiding down to the back of the head, using the second part of the hair.

If the hair is long enough, then you can continue to weave the braid further and also wrap it around your head on top of the main one.

If the braid ends at the back of the head, then it needs to be secured with an elastic band and bobby pins.

Bubble Braid

The bubble braid requires two ribbons. The hair should be tied into a ponytail and divided into two parts. The ribbons are tied so that one is between the halves of the tail, and the second to the left of the hair. This tape will be working and will braid the selected strands and the central tape. Weaving a bubble braid for long and

beautiful hair

Braiding is done as follows: the working tape is passed under two strands of hair and over the central tape. The tape is then passed over the strands and under the central tape. Then weaving continues in the same pattern.

The central tape and strands do not change position. Every 4-5 braids, the side strands need to be fluffed up, giving the braid volume. This kind of weaving requires skill.

Openwork braid of 5 strands

The hair should be divided into five equal parts. Weaving starts from left to right. The leftmost strand is draped over the adjacent one, then the middle strand is draped over it.

In fact, one braid of a three-strand braid is made. Then the rightmost strand is draped over the adjacent one, and the middle strand is draped over it. Weaving continues in the same pattern.

Square braid
The hair should be divided into three equal parts. The left strand is additionally divided in half.

The middle strand is drawn between the halves of the left strand, then the halves need to be combined, the left strand becomes the middle one. Then the right strand is divided in half, the middle strand is drawn between the halves of the right one. Weaving continues in the same pattern.

Combination of buns and braids in hairstyle Buns and braids go well together in a hairstyle. The bun goes especially well with French weave

, when the remaining hair is braided and pinned or immediately pinned into a bun.

A bun of pre-curled curls, decorated with beautiful pins, flowers and ribbons is a wonderful evening hairstyle.

Evening hairstyles with braiding

A rosette can be made from the entire mass of hair or a small strand can be separated to make a separate decoration. To make a rose, you need to separate the required strand and, dividing it into three parts, weave a regular three-strand braid.

While braiding, you need to pull out loops on one side of the braid, which should decrease towards the end of the braid. Then the braid is folded into the shape of a flower so that the elongated loops are on the outside and secured with decorative pins.

Heart

The hair should be divided into two parts with a straight parting. One part is pinned, the second part is braided using French braiding in an arc from the crown to the temple and then down to the back of the head.

The side strands are picked up only from above. Having fixed the first braid, the same thing is symmetrically braided on the second half of the hair. It is important that the braids look mirror-like.

Triple Falls

The spit waterfall has already been described above. To perform a triple waterfall, you need to weave a waterfall braid from the temple around the head. Then the second waterfall braid begins from the same temple, while the lower strands remain free.

The third waterfall braid again starts from the original temple and the lower strands again remain free. Each braid is braided to the end. Loose braids can be styled beautifully and decorated with decorative hairpins.

Simple weaving for girls

Multi-layer basket

There are many variations of the basket braid. To weave the standard version, you need to select a part of the hair in the shape of a circle just below the crown and pull it into a tight ponytail.

Next, a spikelet is woven from the loose hair so that the outer strands are captured completely, and the inner strands are picked up from the tail. It is important to calculate that there is enough hair for a spikelet around the head. The remaining hair is braided into a regular braid.

Bow braids

To achieve this hairstyle you will need a large hairpin. First you need to weave a regular spikelet in any direction. In this case, be sure to leave a small strand on the side of the braid. After the braid is fixed, you can begin to form the bows. To do this, in the first braid you need to thread the hairpin with the round end forward towards the side where the strand is left.

A small strand is separated, sprayed with varnish, and folded in half. The resulting loop is threaded through a hairpin and placed on the finger. Next, the hairpin is pulled back together with the strand. Taking into account the loop fixed with a finger, a bow is obtained. The remaining ponytail is laid along the braid; it will be covered by the next strand. This is how each braid of the spikelet is decorated.

Crisscross

This beautiful hairstyle consists of two spikelets braided towards each other. The hair is divided into two equal parts with a straight parting. Each part is further divided horizontally. Weaving begins from one of the upper parts with a regular spikelet from the temple to the back of the head along a long diagonal.

Having reached the middle of the head, you need to fix the braid and weave the spikelet in the same way on the other half. Then several braids of a regular braid are made, which should pass over the first one, and the braiding continues downwards with a spikelet using the lower quarter of the hair. The second braid is braided in a spikelet from the remaining hair diagonally downwards.

This is how a few basic weaving techniques open up the widest opportunities to diversify your everyday hairstyles, as well as create an unforgettable evening look.

Long braid has always been considered an adornment of a lady’s look, and besides, the variety of hairstyles with braids is now simply enormous. You can safely braid your hair yourself. These can range from the simplest, classic hairstyles to more complex weaving. Let's look at what braids can be like for long hair and how to weave them.

The classic three-strand braid is a hairstyle that will never go out of style. It can be done on both long and medium hair. In the time of our grandmothers, most of them wore braids, and the longer and thicker they were, the more beautiful the woman was considered.

This is a very simple and quick braid that anyone can learn to do. The hair is simply divided into three equal parts and then braided according to the pattern: the rightmost strand is moved between the remaining two, then the leftmost strand is also moved between the two neighboring ones. The braiding continues to the ends of the hair, then is secured with an elastic band. Based on regular braids, you can create a lot of other interesting hairstyles. You can also make your braids more varied by weaving them into satin ribbons or other decorations.

A French braid looks very beautiful on long hair. The advantage of this type of braiding is that it makes it possible to collect your hair tightly, and it will not fall out of your hairstyle and disturb you. You can braid your hair straight or obliquely, or you can braid two or more braids.

Weaving begins in three strands, as when creating a classic braid. But it starts from the top of the head. Separate three small strands and braid the braid in the usual way, but the difference will be that when moving each strand, you must grab a small strand of loose hair to it each time. You can adjust the thickness of the strands, determining what kind of braid it will be - with small or large weaving.

This braid is also often called a “dragon”. The essence of weaving in this case is the same as with a regular French braid, but the outer strands are placed not at the top, but down, under the adjacent strand.

There are different weaving options. You can make two symmetrical braids or braid one in a zigzag manner. You can pull out small loops from each braid of the finished braid, and you will get an attractive, voluminous hairstyle, suitable for going out.

The fishtail braid is quite simple to make, and in fact you only need two strands. That is, we divide the hair into two parts, pull out a small strand from one and transfer it to the adjacent part. The same is done on the other side, and thus we get a very stylish weave, somewhat reminiscent of a fish tail or a spikelet.

The hairstyle looks especially attractive and unusual on long hair. You can make a high ponytail on the top of your head and braid it into a fishtail braid - you will get a very interesting hairstyle.

An excellent option would be a combination of weaving and loose hair. Framing your hair with a braid will give it a neat and complete look. A waterfall braid can be chosen for some special occasion, going to the theater or on a date - she looks very romantic.

The weaving is quite simple, and in many ways resembles creating a French braid. To achieve the effect of flowing hair, you need to not braid the additional strand entering the braid, but leave it hanging freely.

Braids that use more than three strands are more difficult to weave, but they look very beautiful and delicate. In the weaving process, the main thing is not to confuse the sequence. Having trained your hand in the future, you will understand that such a seemingly complex braid can be braided in a few minutes.

This braid will look amazing on long and thick hair. Proceed to weaving it if you have already mastered the previous options.

A gentle and romantic hairstyle that looks a little careless and allows you to add volume to your hair. The French braid is used as a basis, but the difference is that when you grab another strand from loose hair, you do not pull it into the braid, but leave it relaxed. Exist different variations this hairstyle, and they all look very interesting.

Also a wonderful hairstyle for long hair. It can be performed on the basis of any braid (regular, French, spikelet). What is important in this case is the location of the braid - it starts from one edge, then goes in a semicircle and curls like a shell. You will also need hairpins or bobby pins to secure your hairstyle.

Braid around the head (crown)

A very beautiful and effective hairstyle that will suit those with the right hairstyle. oval shape face and his beautiful features. It is also often called a basket. Weaving can be done in several ways. You can create a classic braid that will bend around your head in finished form or make a French braid in a circular weave. When choosing the first option, keep in mind that your hair must be long enough so that it is enough to completely cover your head.

A bun is a hairstyle that never goes out of style, and by learning how to combine it beautifully with a braid, you will get stylish styling for any occasion. A low bun and a reverse French braid go well together - this combination looks quite interesting and inevitably attracts the attention of others. A fishtail braid also looks beautiful, smoothly framing the face and turning into a neat bun. You can also simply make a bun from a braid - creating such a hairstyle is quite simple, but it looks very interesting.

Also very interesting combination for long hair, but not with a bun, but with a ponytail. With it, the hairstyle will turn out to be very playful. You can combine these elements in different ways: weave a braid from a ponytail, create braids around the head, and collect the remaining hair in a loose ponytail, and so on.

Twist braid or “fake braid”

And in this version, you don’t even need braiding skills, since such a braided hairstyle is considered only conditionally, but is actually done using ponytails and elastic bands. But the final version strongly resembles a braid, so it can be another great decoration for long hair.

Also simple and stylish option, which can be done in two techniques: based on a French braid or ponytail. The hair needs to be divided into two parts, each of them should be twisted in one direction, for example, clockwise. Then start weaving the strands together to get a spiral, but you need to twist it in the opposite direction - in our case, counterclockwise. This way the hairstyle will last for a long time.

Most often, this hairstyle is made from two or three strands. The technique for performing it is quite simple and involves the following steps:

• Gather your hair up with an elastic band and divide it into equal parts (two or three). If you want to make a braid with four or more strands, you will need a little extra braiding skill.
• Each strand is twisted into a rope by rotating it around its axis.
• The finished tourniquet must be secured with an elastic band or crocodile clip.
• The second or third strand rotates in the same direction as the first.
• When the bundles are ready, they are intertwined. To prevent the braid from unraveling, you need to braid it in the direction opposite to the twisting of the strands.
• Braid the braid to the ends and secure it.

There are many other hairstyles with braids for long hair. You can further decorate them with various decorative elements, such as braids, bows, beautiful hairpins and elastic bands, wreaths, headbands, fresh and artificial flowers and so on.
