This page walks you through the French braid step by step, with a detailed description of each step. The proposed step-by-step instruction “French braid" will allow you to create an image in the Provence style and amaze others with unusual hair weaving. To facilitate the understanding process, photos are presented with a detailed description of all the steps.
Weaving a French braid in stages
The French braid is often called a spikelet. And this is far from accidental, since weaving a French braid is actually very reminiscent of an ear. The following is a French braid in stages, with a detailed description of each of your actions:
1 Separate a small section of hair from the left ear to the middle of the head.
2 Divide this strand into three equal parts.
3 Put first the left and then the right strand on the middle, as when weaving a simple braid. Add a section of hair on the right to the right strand.
4 Continue to weave the braid, guiding it obliquely. Each time, alternate strands on the left and right.
5 Do not braid the spikelet to the end, collect all the hair. Tie the braid with an elastic band.
6 Separate a small strand from the resulting tail.
7 Divide the strand into three equal parts and braid a simple braid. Alya this side strands alternately put on the central.
8 Wrap the braid around the base of the ponytail to hide the elastic. Pin the end of the braid with invisibility.
How to do your own french braid
1 Separate a wide strand of hair in the middle of the head from the face to the back of the head.
2 French braid, adding strands on the right and left.
3 Do not braid your hair to the end, tie it in a ponytail.
4 Wrap the unbraided hair on the right around the base of the ponytail, secure with invisibility. Carefully hide the ends of the hair.
5 Take the strand on the left. Wrap it around the base of the tail, cover the invisible ones with which you fixed the first strand.

Reverse French braid: how to weave in reverse
The reverse French braid visually increases the volume of the hair, so the hairstyle with such a braid will look very nice even on thin hair. Read carefully about how to reverse French braid and practice in your spare time in front of a mirror. The accompanying photos will help you understand how to weave a French braid.
1 Separate a small part of the hair from the face, divide it into three equal strands.
2 Put the right strand under the center, and then the left under the right (now it has become the center).
3 Place the left section under the center section and add the section of hair on the left to it.
4 Place the right section under the center section and add the section of hair on the right to it.
5 Continue braiding as described.
6 Having collected all the hair in this way, continue to weave a simple reverse braid (it is weaved like a regular braid, only the side strands are placed under the middle one). Secure the end with an elastic band. Stretch the strands in the braid to add volume.
Hairstyle with a simple and French braid
Experiment with different braiding techniques! Here is one simple hairstyle with a French braid and weaving strands into it:
1 Part your hair with a side part. Separate a strand from the face (if you have bangs, this is a good way to remove it).
2 Divide the strand into three parts and start weaving a simple braid. Once, shifting the hair, add a section of hair to the strand in the right hand. As a result, the braid will go along the very edge.
3 Bring the braid to ear level, then braid a simple braid.
4 Spray the braid with varnish so that it does not lose its shape.
5 Braid a simple braid with the remaining hair, adding to it the pigtail that was braided earlier. Tie the end of the braid with an elastic band.
6 Stretch the strands in weave. When pulling out a strand, hold it by the very edge: this way the weaving will retain its shape, but become more openwork.
