Braids continue to be in fashion, and many everyday hairstyles are based on braided hair. These can be classic braids, but also intertwined strands of hair. This style came to us from popular hairstyles of the last century.

Today, high-combed hair and carelessly curled curls are back in fashion. An unremarkable tail can be decorated with a braid intricately intertwined at the base.

The famous bun is popular again today. It doesn’t take a lot of time, effort or skill to create it. Hair length can be either medium or waist length.

It is suitable for every day and for special occasions. It is enough to decorate your hair with accessories, wear a beautiful dress and high-heeled shoes - and your appearance will be completely transformed.

A little dishevelment today is permissible and even encouraged. A braided braid that starts in the middle part of the hair and a curl released will decorate a young and middle-aged woman. It is practical and convenient. After all, it emphasizes the length of the hair, which, alas, not everyone can boast of. But everyday life someday ends and holidays begin, which require more careful preparation.

The braid is back in fashion for ceremonies and celebrations

Hairstyles with braids for evening events are traditionally very popular, this is due to the opportunity to emphasize the grace of a woman, her beauty and style. The choice of braids can be very different. The simplest weaves will look elegant and the image will be unique.

When preparing for important celebrations, you can create one or another image using your hairstyle. If you have a romantic evening ahead, you can do your hair with loosely braided braids.

The most suitable would be a French braid. It is not at all necessary to weave every curl punctually; on the contrary, give fullness and freedom to your hair. Release a few “unruly” strands or braid it, as if only indicating weaving; the carelessness of the hairstyle will give the appearance of mystery and romance.

A good choice would be the Greek version of the braid. The placement of the braid with the addition of curls will give the appearance a pretty look.

If you have an official reception coming up where you want to emphasize a formal business style, pay attention to braided hairstyles joined together on the crown of the head. In this case, artificial negligence is unacceptable.

Each braid in the overall hairstyle ensemble must be carefully woven and styled. If your hair length allows, style your braids in the form of plant inflorescences.

If necessary, you can use hairpieces or extensions. At the same time, carefully select its color, which should not differ from the color of your hair.

The bundles can be supplemented with different plexuses; they can be arranged either symmetrically or asymmetrically. Despite the precise observance and detailing of the hairstyle, it will emphasize femininity.

Modern trends suggest using weaving to create an elegant and at the same time respectable look, creating a hairstyle in the form of a “basket”. Those with medium-length curly hair will suit a waterfall hairstyle.

A “bubble braid,” a snake braid, or floral versions of braids will look no less stylish. Decorating your hair with accessories is mandatory. Be no less careful when selecting them. The best option for jewelry would be a logical combination of some elements with an evening dress or jewelry.

Wedding braid - a classic trend

Wedding hairstyles using braids are consistently popular among brides. Braids emphasize the sophistication and tenderness of a girl’s image. However, before an important event, you need to try out several options.

In order to choose the most suitable one for individual characteristics, face shape and hair color. The braid is an identification of the classic style of the female image, which is optimally suited to a significant event.

Weaving can be done in a variety of ways. Braided braids all over your hair in addition to curls will add elegance to your hairstyle. Or vice versa, if you take loose hair as a basis, which will perfectly complement several braids located in different parts of the head and will be made of different numbers of strands.

A hairstyle decorated with a veil will add sophistication to the look and highlight the neck and shoulder area. An interesting option could be braids made in the form of intricate flowers or unusual patterns. When creating a hairstyle using braids, the hairdresser must weave the braids very carefully and carefully arrange them.

All kinds of buns, which are decorated with braids, are very popular and often used. Visually, due to their location at the top of the head, they are able to add solemnity to the bride’s appearance, which is so necessary.

The use of jewelry in the hairstyle is encouraged, but there should not be a strong emphasis on it. Small strands that will fall as if by chance will add charm to your appearance and emphasize the oval of your face. They can be located on one or both sides, depending on the preferences of the bride.

Features to consider when using braids

When choosing a hairstyle using braids, the hairdresser must follow simple rules:

• when choosing a hairstyle, the master must take into account the shape of the face, the length and color of the hair, and also not forget about the style of the wedding dress and the anthropometric characteristics of both the bride and the groom;
• the properties of the hair also play an important role, because softness and length are the determining factors when choosing a composition. Therefore, you always need to conduct a dress rehearsal and choose the right option;
• a classic look will be given by reverse braids, which can only be done by a true specialist in his field;
• the placement of the braid, its thickness, the use of bangs, all this will emphasize the girl’s individuality. There may be a need to use additional hair extensions or change their color slightly.

A hairstyle using braids will make the bride's image unforgettable. Will highlight her beauty and tenderness. Despite its apparent simplicity, it can add sophistication and emphasize the specialness of the event.

One of the main criteria when choosing a braided hairstyle is still the right choice, based on the features of the facial structure. Real masters of their craft pay attention to this first and foremost and do not forget about the structure and color of the hair.

Choosing a hairstyle to suit your type of appearance

The correct oval is a rather conventional concept; stylists claim that there are no wrong or right face shapes. With a professional approach from hairdressers, you can highlight the features and hide the imperfections of any face.

There are five main forms:

• round;
• elongated;
• triangular;
• square;
• diamond-shaped

For each type you need to choose the right hairstyle.

For chubby beauties, hairstyles using side partings are suitable, and flowing curls on the sides of the face are also perfect. They will visually lengthen the look, but they should not be made particularly long.

The optimal length is just below the middle of the auricle. In this case, attention will be drawn to the neck and shoulder area. A reverse braid, a “spikelet”, will also work, and French variations of braids will also look good.

Representatives of the fairer sex with a narrow face need to visually increase the horizontal direction and reduce the vertical direction. This effect can be achieved by using voluminous curls on both sides of the head.

It is not advisable to part your hair; instead, give preference to asymmetrically placed braids. A braid of any weave will look great, located on the left or right side, as if accidentally falling onto the shoulder.

For girls with a square face type, a small bang would be a suitable option. You should also pay attention to the presence of parting in any direction. Strands of any length, casually falling onto the front of the face, will soften the contours of the face. You can braid one braid in different ways and also lay it on your shoulder.

A fluffy version of a braid will suit a triangular and pear-shaped female appearance. It should not be lowered onto the shoulder; it is better if it runs along the forehead from right to left. A tricky version of the “disheveled” weave, it looks preferable in the upper part, but pull the lower part of the hairstyle tighter.

Also, you should not let your hair be longer than 25-30 cm. When braiding braids from the upper part, try to narrow them down, and the remaining hair can be fluffed. They will add volume to the face. If necessary, you can comb your hair a little.

For a diamond-shaped face shape, look for hairstyles with braids or curls that fall over your shoulders. You can use mousse and add volume to your hair. Asymmetrical weaving, braids of different lengths and thicknesses, as well as the Greek version of braids are suitable.

This type is most in demand among hairdressers; it is subject to the fewest restrictions. In addition, the diamond shape is considered the most popular and fashionable among stylists today.

Let's start with the simplest - a “malvinka” with a classic braid. The instructions for weaving such braids with your own hands are quite simple and will not pose any difficulty even for those who have never encountered this. To do this you need:

1. In the temporal region, on both sides, collect the strands needed for braiding.
2. When creating braids, braid them to the middle and gather them at the back of your head with an elastic band.
3. From the resulting tail you can make a classic braid or.

Fishtail braid hairstyles:

Many owners of luxurious curls want to show off their braids, made by themselves. It is much easier to make beautiful braids on long hair than on short hair, which is why now there are so many master classes on how to weave braids on long hair. For example, a reverse spikelet in the tail. To create it you need:

• Comb your dried hair thoroughly and tie it into a ponytail at the top of your head, securing it with an elastic band and dividing it into two parts.
• From the outside of the left strand, take a small part of the hair and pass it under the tail, adding it to the right one. Do the same with the right strand.
• Continue to weave like a regular spikelet, only under the tails, and not above them.

To create a two-step waterfall hairstyle, you will need a fine-toothed comb and a pair of rubber bands. First, a regular waterfall is made. To do it, you need to take the middle strand near the forehead and divide it to weave a regular braid. Start making a regular braid by adding a little hair from the top to the top strand and releasing the same amount from the bottom of the braid. This should create “streams” of hair. Once you reach the other side, make a regular braid and secure with an elastic band. After the work done, proceed to the second part. Here you take 5 “streams” - they will be needed in the process of weaving the second braid. The same weaving is performed as in the first case, but these same strands serve as an addition. At the end the same braid is made. The result is a beautiful weave around the circumference of the head.

French braid in a bun

Beautiful hairstyles with braids are not so difficult.

1. Select a curl on the sides and divide it into two parts, tying them together.
2. Separate another strand and add to the right curl.
3. Do the same on the other side of the ponytails, that is, add a curl to each strand.
4. To prevent the structure from unraveling during the process, it can be secured with invisible threads.
5. Having reached the back of the head, tie the braid temporarily with an elastic band and do the same operation on the other side.
6. Twist the resulting tails into bundles and make a bun.

Braid-crown

It's quite easy to do and doesn't take much time. To do this, you will need a straight comb with a separator, a pair of hairpins or bobby pins, and hairpins.

• Comb your hair well and pin the strands at the temples.
• Behind the clamping point, select three strands for braiding and start making a French braid, adding only the top curls.
• Moving towards the back of the head, ensure the straightness of the weaving. Having done this to the other part of the head, continue creating a braid above the forehead from those previously separated strands.
• Tie the remaining ends with an elastic band or ribbon and hide them in your hair. Secure with bobby pins for security. This hair wreath can be decorated with flowers or hairpins with beads.

Braiding long hair often causes difficulties and fear that the hairstyle will not work. To do this, it is recommended to practice a lot and each time try to create more and more complex masterpieces.

Spit braid

To decorate this braid, we will need not three, but two parts. Having gathered the hair into a bun, we divide the tails in half. From one part inside we separate a small strand and place it in the other direction. We do the same with the strand in the other part, shifting it in the opposite direction. We take turns weaving a spikelet in small strands. We finish the look with a bright accent, in the form of an elastic band, ribbon or hairpin.

A braided hairstyle for long hair can weave from the very top. This is the case, for example, with the French braid. Divide the hair at the top into three even parts.

We continue to braid in French until we have a whole braid. Fashionistas, keep in mind that today some carelessness in your hair is very popular, so don’t be upset if the wind frays your perfect hairstyle outside.

This braid is a variation of the French braid, so to speak, a more complicated version of it. To learn how to make such beauty, we take three strands from the back of the head and intertwine them a couple of times with the classics. Next, taking an additional strand on the right as a support, we place it to the extreme side. On the left side we repeat the same thing. And then all the combined parts are woven together. We weave until complete, securing the resulting airy image with an elastic band.

Waterfalls from braids

Hairstyles where braids are used as an additional decoration look unusual. For example, in hairstyles such as simple and additional waterfall. Take a small strand from either side and braid it into a classic braid approximately up to the ear area. And then we proceed to designing the waterfall, where we will need to constantly leave the lower strand free. A new part of hair is used instead. This interweaving of the three main parts continues until you reach the opposite temple. The waterfall ends with a regular braid that passes behind the ear.

A braided hairstyle for long hair can also look like a mesh. At first it will seem difficult to perform, but it is not. Prepare a large number of rubber bands for the mesh.

We do the same with the second row, the only difference is that the squares in this row, in relation to the first, are in a checkerboard arrangement. And the tails of the second row take half of the hair of the first. The same is done with the remaining rows. At the end, the ponytails are secured with elastic bands. So we have come up with an unusually beautiful hairstyle, perhaps it will require some skills from you, but everything comes with experience, the main thing is to try
