How to weave pigtails?
Even preschoolers can make a simple flagellum of three strands, but far from all girls know how to weave a French braid with a ribbon. Its main difference from the usual pigtails is that it does not start from the place where the hair is gathered in a tail, but rests on the head. That is, the French braid is weaved, starting from the roots of hair.

In this case, the braid is braided on its side and runs along the head diagonally.

French braid with ribbon
Let's start with the most time-consuming and incomprehensible for many ways of styling hair - weaving a French braid with a satin ribbon. First of all, you need to prepare a piece of braid 1 cm wide and about a meter longer than the hair. The tape with the help of invisibles is fixed in the place where the braid will begin. Also, you can just snap it. Then you need to select a part of the hair and divide it into three strands, and move the tape so that it is located between the central and left parts. The further progress of the work consists of the following steps:
- Hold the right strand under the center, and on top of it - the tape.
- Put the left strand on the right, but under the tape.
- Next, the central strand goes under the left and covers the tape.
- The right strand covers the center and passes under the tape.
- Thus, the entire braid is woven, but to each of its new “coils” you need to add small locks of hair on the left and right sides.
- When the pigtail is finished, its tip must be fixed with a thin rubber band. To give it volume, the side strands are slightly released from weaving.
On a note! The ribbon can be replaced with a thin three-strand pigtail, which is braided from its own hair until the main braid is formed. Such a modification of the hairstyle will be a great alternative for older girls and young girls.
