A braid of 2 strands is a convenient solution for long hair, relevant in the lack of time mode for the construction of a complex hairstyle. With this styling, your head will look neat, and you won’t need any special equipment or hairdressing skills to work. In this article, we will show that such a weaving can be performed by each owner of long hair.
For lack of special styling products at hand, you can dissolve a little granulated sugar or powder in water and pour the liquid into a spray bottle. The solution will help remove the electrification of hair, and curls will become easier to comb.
Before work:
- wash your hair with liquid shampoo, if this is not possible, then use a dry analog. It is imperative that the strands are clean. The last option has an indisputable plus - it gives volume to the roots even to thin and lifeless hair.
- Fold all that you need to fix the hairstyle (hairpins, elastic bands, crabs, jewelry) next to you, for the convenience of work.
Spit "harness"
This kind of weaving looks good on smooth strands. If you have curly hair, just tighten your hair tightly.
Weaving a braid of 2 strands, we begin by collecting hair in a tail on the back of the head. The latter is divided into 2 parts. We twist the resulting strands together. Alternatively, you can first twist each of them. Having finished work, we fix the tip with an elastic band for hair. In order for the hairstyle to look more neat and stylish, the elastic bands at the base of the tail and at the end can be covered with a strand of hair that needs to be fixed with a hairpin.
Twisted braid
Unusual styling will certainly allow you to hear a lot of compliments.
Instruction:
- Work on weaving a braid of 2 strands begins with the fact that we will collect the curls in a hand on the top of the head. Divide all hair into 2 parts. Hold each half with your fingers.
- Getting started with strands. On the left side we take part of the hair and twist it clockwise around the axis a couple of times. We take the second strand, and having done the same with it, we impose it on the first.
- We continue to work, repeating the process. Here you need to add some hair from the remaining free part. In the process of weaving, we hold the hair with the thumb and forefinger.
- When the weaving comes to an end, then simply cross the curls with each other without picking up. Fix the tip of the braid with an elastic band.
Scythe with ribbon
This is the original weave with gripping strands between which we will insert a ribbon. The styling method is suitable for medium and longer hair. Also, the hairstyle is designed for straight hair.
Scheme of weaving braids from 2 strands with a ribbon:
- We comb the hair well and collect it in the ponytail higher. All hair in the tail is divided into 2 parts.
- We hold two strands in our hands. We make a hole in one of them with a finger. We stick part of the hair into it. Next, we make the same hole and pull a curl into it from the opposite side, to which we add the tape. This is what we do until all the hair from the tail is pulled back into a braid. We fix the tip with a thin rubber band.
If suddenly the pigtail does not seem to you volume enough, then you can try to make it more magnificent by pulling the locks over the edges.
Two-strand braid decoration
The hairstyle itself looks quite stylish, but I want to complement it with some fashion accessory. As a decoration, you can use:
- tapes of different widths;
- dressings "a la soloch";
- decorative and natural flowers;
- Chains
- hair clips;
- strands with beads;
- bows;
- studs with stones.
