Step-by-step instruction for weaving
All actions to braid a French braid can be divided into several parts. The result is an excellent French braid on the contrary and step-by-step instructions for weaving!
1. Hair cleansing and styling. To begin, rinse your hair well under warm water and comb it after drying. The main thing is that as weaving they are smooth and without unpleasant confusion for the master or you. Then use varnish, mousse in order to add shine to the braid.
After that, you need to figure out which side you want to weave the braid on and where it is better to finish it. It can be located behind or go in the center of the head, just above the forehead.
If you want to braid the braid from behind, then take 1 wide strand above the forehead and divide it into 3 equal parts, as when weaving a regular braid. If you decide to weave on the other side, then take a bulk strand in the selected place.
2. Take hair in both hands to further weave tight. Hold 1 strand in your right hand, put 2 remaining ones in your left hand. Weaving should be on such a principle as the weaving of an ordinary braid. Take the lock from the right hand and hold it under the middle one, then add the section from the left hand to the resulting opening. The middle strand will move to the right hand, and weaving can be successfully continued.
3. Do not forget to check the tightness of the weave. After the last strand from the left hand entered under the right, tighten the hair.
4. Do not know how to weave a French braid on the contrary, because an ordinary braid comes out? Time to stop and change the location of the strands. Take one strand in your right hand (or, as weaving, it should be in your hand) and grab it with your left, stretching through the middle formed. In fact, you will also weave an ordinary braid, but it will pass from the bottom. Strands look the other way around!
5. Now gradually, as weaving, add strands to the braid on the left and right sides of the head. It is worth adding them in certain sections, which can be calculated visually.
It is worth noting that hair must be added before the strand got into weaving. First, with your hand, "pinch" the curl and continue weaving with it. The same thing is done with the left hand. The middle strand remains empty.
6. The final step will be to give additional volume. Gently fluff the braided sections, but do not overdo it. Pull the loops from the curls of the braid carefully, holding it with your left hand, otherwise the braid will simply fall apart. Hair can be fixed with hairpins, "crab".
