2. Start weaving an ordinary spikelet, moving along the hairline on the forehead to the left temple
3. Putting the left strand on top of the middle strand, each time add to the first part of the free hair above the forehead (at the same time, do not increase the right strand, but simply put it on the middle strand)
4. When the weave reaches the left temple, secure it with invisibility behind the ear.

You can continue weaving to the ends of the hair, no longer adding loose strands, and secure the edge with an elastic band.

Another option for such styling is to divide the hair on the crown of the head with a parting and braid two spikelets from the center of the forehead to the temples:

To make the hairstyle look neater, gather the ponytail into a bun by making a loop or using hairpins.

Braid on a pencil: easy hairstyle

Beautiful airy weaving can be done using improvised means, for example, a knitting needle or a regular pencil:

A light hairstyle with a braid for long hair with a pencil is ideal for young fashionistas, but older ladies can also try on an elegant look. You will need two elastic bands and a long pencil, as well as an assistant, because it is almost impossible to do such styling yourself:

1. Gather all your hair into a tight ponytail at the top of your head.
2. Pass the pencil under the rubber band so that it is in a horizontal position.
3. Separate three small strands from the tail, put the right strand on the center, then the left on the center
4. Put the right strand back on the center, then take a new strand from the tail, throw it over the pencil from the bottom up and attach to the braid
5. Throw the left strand to the center, take a new strand from the tail, throw over the pencil on the left and attach to the weave
6. Repeat the previous two steps, continuing to weave to the ends of the hair.

8. Just pull out the pencil by pulling on one of its edges.

The resulting air braid perfectly keeps its shape and adorns gentle youth images.

A New Year’s hairstyle with braids for long hair for a girl can be made according to a similar algorithm, but supplemented with curled curls:

To do this, separate the upper part of the hair and collect it in a ponytail – this hairstyle is called malvina.

From this tail, braid the braid on a pencil, and curl the lower part of the hair with a curling iron into large lush curls.

For a festive option, choose beautiful elastic bands with decor.

Braid around the bun with bangs

This styling is perfect for a school matinee and even for prom.

At first glance, it may seem that making such a composition is very difficult, but a hairstyle for long hair with a scythe step by step with or without bangs is equally simple:

If you wear bangs, just pin it with a clip at the beginning of work, and at the end of the hairstyle, release it and style it to your taste:

1. Walk with a thin comb around the entire circumference of the head, separating part of the hair along the hairline about a couple of centimeters wide
2. Gather the remaining hair in the center into a ponytail with a thin but tight elastic band.
3. Separate a medium-sized strand at the bottom of the tail
4. Pass the rest of the tail hair through the hole in the elastic twister
5. Roll your hair around the twister
6. Connect the ends of the twister under the central strand of the tail, enclosing it in a ring
7. Hide the junction of the ends of the twister under the extreme strands of the roller
8. Separate part of the central strand and connect it to the back of the head
9. Start weaving an ordinary spikelet, gradually adding strands of their tail and along the hairline
10. As a result, you should get a circular braid, the ends of which will be at the back of the head.
11. Secure the weave with a narrow elastic band and carefully hide the ends under the bun using a thin comb handle.

You can do this much easier:

• Separate the occipital strands, and collect the rest in a ponytail at the crown.
• Make a bundle with a twister or a foam rubber "donut", you can simply twist the bundle from the bundle and secure it with hairpins.
• From the occipital strands, weave a spikelet and wrap the base of the bundle with it, securing the braid on the back of the head with invisibility and hiding its ends under the bundle.

Youth hairstyle with braids

Youth hairstyles with curls for long loose hair with braids are a lot of different ideas with single or multiple weaves on the crown and temples:

Young fashionistas will like weaving in the form of a heart, which can easily be done by a mother or sister:

1. Part your hair from forehead to crown
2. We start working with the right side – separate three thin strands at the very top
3. It is necessary to lay the weave in the form of a question mark, for this we first weave the braid towards the forehead, then smoothly round it, weave towards the ear, and then towards the back of the head
4. Gradually, with the right hand, we add free strands to the braid, so that the weaving will be held in the desired position (we don’t add strands to the left, but simply throw the left strand over the middle one each time)
5. On the left side, we repeat the same weaving in mirror image – we get the shape of a heart
6. We connect the ends of both weaves with an elastic band or ribbon
7. We curl all loose hair, as well as the ends of the braids with a curling iron and varnish

If desired, you can attach loose hair to the ends of the braids and weave one magnificent braid, securing its edge with a large elastic band.

Another option is to collect the hair together with the ends of the braids in a ponytail at the back of the head, and then lay the tail in a careless bun:

Imitation of a shaved temple with braids

Today, shaved temples are in trend, not only for men, but also for women.

Not every fashionista can decide on such a haircut, but any girl can do a styling imitating a shaved temple.

Weaving comes to the rescue, with the help of which part of the scalp is exposed, and the temple looks shaved:

1. Make a side parting on the crown on the right side
2. Throw the bulk of the hair to the left
3. Divide the area to the right of the parting and up to the ear into 2-3 horizontal stripes using 1-2 horizontal partings, depending on the density of the hair
4. Braid from the face back along each strip of regular braids, picking up thin strands, thereby pressing the weave to the head
5. Secure the weaves with clerical rubber bands or invisible ones that should be covered with hair.
6. It is best to curl the bulk of the hair on large curlers so that the hair looks more magnificent, and the curls can easily hide the invisibility or elastic bands that hold the weave

You can imitate two shaved temples at once, but then you have to take care of the parietal part of the hair.

It is necessary that the strands do not fall apart and do not cover the weaving. Styling products will help to lay curls in the right direction.

Braids and weaves are an easy way to make your hair look original and spectacular.

Depending on whether your hair is thick or sparse, curly or not, choose your ideal type of weaving and master a couple of the most successful styling to perfection.

Then no event will take you by surprise – you can build a beautiful hairstyle without outside help in just a few minutes.
