Teach a child since childhood
The sooner you have taught your child to braid, the more he will understand the need for this. As soon as the girl has her first hair, you need to gradually accustom her to the hairstyles: wear gum and hair clips. If the daughter breaks them, put them on again later. These will be her very first hairstyles. The baby will get used to this and will no longer resist braiding.
After creating the first tails and practicing weaving on yourself, move on to the baby. You should choose the right moment when the girl is involved in a game or watching a cartoon, you can also distract attention with the help of songs or fairy tales.
Create motivation for the girl: tell how beautiful she will become with fashion pigtails, show examples from cartoons, where the main characters with laid hair.

You can try to braid the first braids in the bathroom while the child is bathing, especially since wet strands are more obedient.
We make the weaving process easier
Pick up a wooden comb with a long tail for better and painless combing. Wood does not electrify hair, and this simplifies the process of creating braids. A spray with water will help to weave them more accurately, but do not forget to monitor the temperature of the water so that the child does not feel discomfort. Fix hair with special accessories: elastic bands, hair clips, invisible hairpins, hair hoops, tiaras and more.
The main varieties of baby braids
Classic braid: divide the hair into three strands, start the extreme right strand in the center between the middle and left, then the left between the resulting two strands. Further, again we transfer the right strand between the two remaining ones, and so on until the end of the braid. The tip is fixed with an elastic band. If weaken the strands, the braid will be more voluminous, a long pigtail can be folded with a wreath on the head and fixed with invisible and hairpins.
The ear resembles the weaving of a classic braid, only not all hair is taken, but only the upper strands. Weave a standard braid, gradually adding curls from the rest of the hair. To make the braid even and neat, do it strictly alternately from right to left. We fix our spikelet either on the back of the head, or we continue to weave further.
French braid: create a horizontal parting and divide the hair into two equal parts. Weave the front zone as a classic braid, gradually adding hair from opposite sides and lay on top of the central one. Thus, first the right lock is entered into the center, then the hair on the left and vice versa are added to it.
Men's braids
If for women, a braid on long hair is everyday life and everyday life, for men it is a unique style. Men's fashionable hairstyle with a pigtail - this is not everyday life, but a rare case. For a more shocking image, you can make two braids that are woven either from the occipital zone or higher and a classic spikelet comes out. The fishtail for men is a perfect weave, because the braid is textured, courageous and keeps the hair in order and clean.
The main advantages of fashionable braids are that they do not require special care or styling. The only thing you need to do regularly is to wash your hair. The lack of styling, chemical fixing agents - this is a huge plus.
