You canât talk about modern fashion and not touch on the topic of pigtails. Only ten years ago, exquisite hairstyles with braids could only afford models from glossy magazines, while the mass used the usual braid for everyone, and only some masters could make a "fish" or "dragon". Times have changed, and braids have become available for girls of all ages, so in the article we will consider in detail the main areas, as well as master classes for braiding braids on medium hair with a photo.
Disbanded Dunya braids ...
And behind her, all the sailors, âbarber shoppersâ and passersby guys watch with delighted eyes. And no wonder! It cannot be counted how long the owner of a long and thick head of hair was valued among girls. This was considered a symbol of beauty and femininity, so the âRapunzeliâ enjoyed special attention from the opposite sex. Of course, everyone knows that this was primarily determined by the health and fertility of the girl. If she has healthy teeth and hair, then her wife will be good.
Now, at a time of progress and a different mentality, beauties most often choose their average hair length. And itâs easier to look after a hairstyle, so braids on medium hair are especially popular.
Universal hairstyle or pattern?
If you can correctly approach the issue, then we can safely say that the braid has never been a template option. Such a hairstyle has a lot of advantages.
- A pigtail can do everything (practically). Even dads even master such a hairstyle to help daughters get ready for school. Why not? The ability to weave braids is an opportunity to beautifully collect hair for yourself or someone else.
- All modern hairstyles are based on simple weaving, which was used by our grandmothers. Learning to create beautiful images is much easier than it sounds. Over time, you can come up with different variations and experiment.
- A braid is really a universal hairstyle, especially braids for medium hair. And if short strands can only be combed on the other side or ruffled, then with the help of various tricks for the average length, which we will reveal later, you can be sure that even a sudden party will not be a cause for panic. 5 minutes at the mirror, and you are irresistible!
Braid for medium hair. Step-by-step instruction
We begin the master class with the most standard hairstyle, from which the âboomâ went to all kinds of innovations in weaving.
Everything is quite simple. Of course, the main thing is practice. It must be borne in mind that immediately few people get a hairstyle, so try and believe in the result.
Similarly, the braid âinside outâ or âdragonâ is braided, only the movement of the hands and the grip of the lock goes in the opposite direction, from the bottom up.
When there is a bang
The photo shows braids on medium hair with bangs. In this case, the bangs were just made of braids, so the style will be immediate and unusual, and the hair does not fall on the face, which is very convenient. You can beat this option in different ways. In the "5 minutes" section there will be a photo of a braid on medium hair with a bang in the form of a rim. Such a hairstyle will emphasize the oval of the face.
Alternatively, the hair from the bangs can be combed to the rest, using gel or mousse for fixation. Thus, the upper part of the face opens and with proper makeup, the eyes will be even more expressive. In any case, weaving is limited only by the imagination of the master.
Classic options
Let us remind you once again that basic knowledge about braids is already a great start in order to start creating beautiful hairstyles. It is worth noting that before you start work, you need to clearly understand why you are creating a braid. Depending on this, you can choose a huge mass of a variety of options. For example, if you need a classic look to school, work, office or meeting, then ...
Leave two, three or more braids for baby hairstyles or African braids. It is better to braid one and three-dimensional. Girls, of course, have more options for models, because with a flower on their heads they can appear both at school and on holiday, but a girl with a âflowerbedâ on the back of her head in the office will not look appropriate.
It is better not to use corrugation. Small waves are not always easy to give, but you can âoverdo itâ with a hairdo before going out. Set aside this effect for a less formal day.
Comfortable and beautiful braids for medium hair are better obtained if you use a little wax. Let him speed up the need for washing his hair, but keep his appearance neat throughout the day.
Solemn
Today itâs not necessary to go to the salon to go on a holiday with a beautiful haircut, itâs enough to work out, watching master classes, or come up with your own version.
We return the corrugation. You can raise the volume at the roots or go through all the hair for texture. It all depends on preferences.
It is appropriate to release more locks than in the everyday model. Hairspray will help to fix the hair, so you can safely experiment with the image.
As for the experiments, often the "home" hairstyle comes out better than in the salon or at a guest hairdresser. So it is possible to make exactly the option that you wanted, without errors and unwanted advice from the outside. In addition, this is a more budget option. In an ordinary salon, simple weaving with fixation costs up to several thousand rubles, while a âhomeâ one will cost several times less.
5 minutes
Another significant advantage in braiding is their instantness. If enough work is done, then a simple but elegant hairstyle can be done in just 5 minutes. Weaving braids on medium hair involves a variety of options, but for convenience itâs always useful to keep a pair of hairpins and small elastic bands in your purse or purse, so that you can create a braid in any convenient place.
The simplest option is a braid-rim. It can only be done in front or continued around the crown. A pigtail can be used one, two or braided "fish".
The braid in the form of a flower looks original and beautiful. Make it very simple, the photo shows a detailed step-by-step instruction. Please note that the master makes a hairstyle from two braids, which twists into one. You can simplify the model, braid only one braid and twist it, as in photo 9. Do not forget to fix it with invisible and varnish. From the ends you can make a fun sticking middle of the flower or hide it as in photo 12 under the hair.
Royal scythe
The most popular hairstyle of braids is the so-called royal braid (or the braid of a princess). Make it surprisingly simple, and the effect will be incredible.
The hair can be slightly treated with a corrugation to have more volume. You should collect a regular tail. Whether to make a beautiful elastic band the center of the composition or to hide it under the hair is up to you. The only thing that will be required additionally is a set of small silicone rubber bands matching the color of the braid for medium hair. To make the hairstyle perfect, make sure that the tails are at the same length from each other and strictly in the middle of the head. In this embodiment, the last gum could be conjugated in the same way as the very first, twisting hair. For a change try to make two such braids.

Useful tips for a beautiful braid
Some girls are embarrassed to braid pigtails, because in this form the volume of their hair is noticeably reduced, and the hair in the braid does not look as thick as on TV or in a magazine. That is why it is worth doing weaving!
Firstly, there are ways to increase the volume of the braid. You can let out strands, make hair wavy, comb them a little.
Secondly, you lose the opportunity to pamper your hair. Braiding, especially on the head, massages the skin, which has a beneficial effect on growth. It has long been known that if you do not change the parting and do the same hairstyle all the time, then over time bald patches will begin to appear and the curls will thin out. Therefore, do not be lazy to periodically braid beautiful braids on medium hair.
Brush your teeth every day? How often do you care for your hair? Combing in the morning is mandatory, if you are at home and not busy with important things, then dissolve them. Give a rest. Sleep with loose hair, or at least braid in a loose braid. Masks, massages, trichologist consultation - all this is necessary.
The main advice for hair beauty is a healthy lifestyle. Bad habits have long gone out of fashion, so take care of yourself and love, and your hair will answer you with a long and healthy shine.
