Pigtails for short hair: original ideas, schemes and recommendations

Delicate fishnet braids add to the girl's face tenderness, femininity, romance and intelligence. Pigtails on short hair help to tidy your head when you want something unusual in your hair, or in the case when the hair should be at least partially removed from the face, for example, at school or in the garden. For a lady with long hair, braiding a braid of any complexity will not be difficult. Weaving braids for short hair will require skill and patience, as the hair will be knocked out of the hairstyle. In this article, we give general recommendations for creating braids and some interesting hairstyle options.

French braid

This is one of the most popular weaves in the world. Braiding such a braid from short hair is quite easy.

1. First, determine where the braid will begin: just above the forehead, in the middle of the head or closer to the back of the head. Take a lock of hair of the width that is needed, and divide it into three parts.
2. Work begins with weaving an ordinary braid. We make several peroxides. Add a strand of hair to the left side, then do the same with the right one. Weave the braid to the end. We fix it with an elastic band.

Hairstyle "Waterfall": a braid scheme for short hair

This chic styling is suitable for both an adult lady and a child. To work, prepare a comb with a thin tip, a curling iron for hair curlers and an elastic band for fixing, suitable for the shade of hair.

1. Comb your hair properly.
2. Create curls on the hair of the size that you like. They can be made not only with a curling iron, but also with a hairdryer with a diffuser, wound on curlers. Why do we need curls? Curled locks in a "waterfall" will look more elegant.
3. In the temporal part we take one thin strand and divide it into three equal ones.
4. We begin to create a normal braid.
5. Weave a few centimeters and start working on the waterfall. The upper strand of hair is released into the “waterfall”, and instead of it we select a new strand of hair.

So we continue to work, letting go of the strands, to form a free waterfall from the hair, and picking up others instead. A hairstyle can have several options. The braid may be at a distance from ear to ear, and may end in the middle of the head. You can make two such braids that will be located against each other.

Bunch and scythe

A mix of two trends - pigtails and a bunch. Such a pigtail will also look good on short hair in a child.

1. Comb the hair as it should.
2. Curl hair ends in any way convenient for you. This will make the hairstyle more interesting and elegant.
3. We divide the hair into three parts. From the middle we make a tail and fix it with an elastic band. From the strands that remained on the sides we form two French braids. They will begin in the forehead and end at the base of the beam.
4. The ends of the braids are fixed with thin rubber bands to the color of the hair and several invisible so that the locks do not break out. Do you like some styling negligence? Then leave some thin curls free.

Braid bezel

Pigtails for girls with short hair are a real salvation for mothers who do not know how to remove naughty hair from their faces if the child is not too long and it is difficult to braid a full braid.

• Well comb the hair.
• In parallel to the growth line, we select strands from the temples in the forehead. We pin the rest of the hair so as not to interfere with a hairpin or clip.
• At the temporal zone, we divide one wide strand into three thin ones.
• We start work with weaving a French braid on the contrary. This means that we are engulfing locks for ourselves.
• Weave until we reach the opposite edge.
• Having finished work in the area of ​​the ear, we fix the pigtail with an elastic band.
• If there are sloppy strands that strive to break out and spoil the whole picture, then we spray them with varnish or smooth them with wax, and invisibility will also help in this matter.
• Do you want the hairstyle to look more voluminous? Gently, starting with the hair in the gum area, pull the eyelets. Make sure that each segment is the same in size as the others.
• If desired, free hair from below can be wound, and hide the tip of the braid under curls.

Pigtail for short hair for a child - "dragon"

Most mothers believe that such a hairstyle is very difficult or almost impossible to create on short hair. But this is not so. Do the work step by step and you will succeed:

1. In the area of ​​the forehead, separate a small part of the hair.
2. Start weaving out of it the usual braid of three strands.
3. When throwing a fresh strand, then add to it another thin one from the total mass of hair. So do it on both sides.
4. Tighten the spikelet and secure it with an elastic band.
5. You can create one such pigtail in the middle or side, or make a whole bunch of "ears".

Braid around the head

This type of weaving is suitable for you, if the length of the hair, at least, reaches the shoulders - a classic square.

1. We divide the hair well combed as follows into two equal parts with a horizontal parting. In the first part, we create a French braid with weaving on the contrary. We fix the end with an elastic band.
2. With the second part of the hair, we do the same.
3. We fix braids around the head and fasten with hairpins. The tips need to be hidden inside.

Bangs

If you need to remove the bangs from the face, then this weaving will be most welcome.

1. Separate the bangs from the rest of the hair with a sharp-pointed comb. It should be divided into three identical parts.
2. First, braid from it the usual three-row braid.
3. After weaving several segments, begin to weave "spikelet", adding strands on the sides.
4. We fix a small braid with a beautiful hairpin or hairpin in the temple area.

Kanekalon weaving

This is one of the most unusual braids for short hair. Hairstyle will appeal to girls who like to stand out from the crowd, because the strands can be of any color.

Kanekalon is strands of artificial fiber that are as similar to natural hair as possible. With overhead strands, dreadlocks, African braids or simply voluminous French braids are most often woven. There is no limit to fantasy.

African pigtails with Kanekalon are a great way to quickly turn from a girl with a boy's haircut into a bright long-haired beauty with an unusual hairstyle.

For weaving, it is enough that the hair length reaches 10 cm. Divide the hair into a parting. Divide the hair into squares of about 3 by 3 cm. Fix with crabs. Weave small three-strand pigtails, slowly weaving the kanekalon into them.

Short Hair Weaving Tips

To easily create a stylish hairstyle, listen to the advice of professionals:

• You should not try to weave a braid on unwashed and poorly combed hair. You will get a kind of hairstyle. She will look messy, especially if it is a pigtail on short hair for a child.
• It is better to spray curly hair before braiding with water from a spray bottle, or walk on it with a wet comb. Also on sale there are special mousses and sprays that reduce hair fluffiness. After applying the product, the hair will be more obedient.
• When braiding short hair, do not pull it too tight. This harms the hair and can cause headaches.
