Fortunately, 2018 has already set new fashionable weaving standards for the current time. In this article, you will learn about how to braid braids for long and medium hair.
Cooking
Not every beautiful girl can boast of thick and magnificent hair, but this is not a reason to completely abandon hair weaving or walk with a “sad” thin braid. There are several ways you can give your braid a beautiful volume.
Making volume by braiding little pigtails
Wash your head before going to bed and, not having finished the hair to the end, braid many small thin braids all over your head. With such pigtails, you can oversleep one night or pass several days. Before you do your hair, undo the braids and comb your hair. Now your hair is magnificent, and on it the effect of a corrugation turned out. This method is least likely to harm the health of your hair.
Volume creation with an iron with a corrugation nozzle
The task becomes easier if you have a curling iron with a special corrugation nozzle in your arsenal. Walk it along the entire length of the hair. This can take you one hour or more, it all depends on the length of your hair and its thickness. This method, although it requires less effort, but more can harm your hair. Every day, resorting to this method is not recommended.
Fleece Volume
The fastest and most harmful way to healthy hair is to do a pile. To do this, you need a scallop with very frequent cloves and patience. Take a lock of hair and comb it once on one side of the lock and a second time on the other side of it. Then do the same with all other hair. Do not comb your resulting pile, otherwise all efforts will be in vain!
Stretching braids
Even if you get a gorgeous amount of hair, it still will not make your braid as voluminous as possible. In order to get the maximum result, any braid needs to be stretched correctly. That is, at the time of braiding, you should pull each link from it, but you must do this very carefully and carefully so that it does not fall apart, the links remain proportional to each other and the composition of the hairstyle is not broken!
Ways of weaving on long hair
Long hair is a huge scope for creating different hairstyles. Even if your choice fell on braiding hair oblique.
The classic option is the French braid. If you have long hair, and you still do not know how to weave it, then this is simply unforgivable!
There are several types of French braids: oblique, waterfall, classical, on the contrary, a rim, openwork. Incidentally, it is the French braid that complements many evening hairstyles.
To weave such a braid, you will need a comb and thin elastic bands. Invisibles, hairpins and other hair accessories can also be useful to decorate your braid.
So, when our voluminous hair is ready to create a new hairstyle, we separate their part and divide into three strands. We shift the left strand through the next to the middle, and we do the same with the right strand. Next, we again shift the left strand to the middle, but now add to it another part of the hair from the left side of the head, do the same with the right strand, adding hair to it from the right side of the head in the same way. While weaving, do not forget that you need to carefully stretch the braid, pulling strands from it. We continue to weave in this way until the hair on the sides ends. When this happens, we finish braiding the hair in the usual way, without adding extra strands to it and stretching it.
By the way, all of the following methods that fell into the section of braids for medium hair are perfect for weaving for long.
Weaving Methods for Medium Hair
If your hair is medium length, then a fishtail braid is right for you.
When you have finished all preparations for creating a braid, proceed directly to the very weaving of hair.
We divide the hair into two parts. On each side from the temple area and just above we collect the hair and add it to the middle, crossing each other. Weaving should continue until the hair ends. Do not forget in this method of weaving to stretch the braid in order to give it the proper volume.
A French braid, on the contrary , will also look very advantageous on medium-length hair.
In order to get such a hairstyle, you need to separate the lock of hair in the frontal part and divide it into three identical parts. Pass the strand on the left side of the head (strand number one) under the one in the middle (strand number two), and put it on the one that was on the right side of the head (strand number three). Now we put the third strand under the first and put it on the second. We continue weaving the braid in the same way, adding hair from the head to the strands until all of them are braided into a French braid on the contrary. Do not forget to stretch its links.
A four-row pigtail is also suitable for medium-length hair. This technique of weaving is quite complicated, but you will be able to overcome it in a few tricks. Divide your hair into four equally sized strands. We will number your strands in order to more conveniently explain further actions. The first on the right is the strand number one, following her - number two, the next - number three, and the last - number four.
Now we start weaving. We put the first strand under the second (for convenience, it is better to do this with the right hand). With your free hand we put the third strand on the first. Poke the fourth strand under the first. After this, we impose the second on the third, and the fourth strand - on the second. And still we impose the first lock on the second and the third - on the fourth. The first strand is on top of the third, and her, in turn, is on the second. We continue to weave according to this scheme until all hair is woven into a braid. If you are not afraid to destroy this building, then you can pull on the links of the braid, giving it volume.
And that’s probably all. We wish you good luck, luxurious braids and a lot of patience!
