Perhaps not every mother can do holiday hairstyles on her own. But everyday is the lot of any parents who want to see well-groomed long hair from their beauty. This is what will be discussed today: how to independently learn to braid beautiful braids for your beloved daughter.
How to choose?
The choice of hairstyle for girls depends on age, hair density, face shape, occasion.
According to age
For parents, a child is always a child. In kindergarten, of course, it makes sense to braid simple children's hairstyles. It should be comfortable for the child to walk with pigtails all day. School hairstyles are very different from each other, as well as from the mood of the child: for younger schoolgirls, convenience and simplicity are important; for girls 10-13 years old, external attractiveness comes first. The young lady will want to try to make herself irresistible. For a girl of 14-17 years old, a hairstyle is a demonstration of her own “I”, the main task of which is to combine “I am not like everyone else” and “I am like everyone else”.
Modesty and rebelliousness, simplicity and grace - the girl wants to show all this, but it is advisable not to violate the school dress code.
Depending on the thickness of the hair
Living in an environment where the ecology leaves much to be desired, and not only adults, but also children are exposed to stress; When diseases, including hair, progress, it is difficult to expect everyone to have gorgeous hair. If the child is lucky and they are thick, the main thing is to preserve this beauty. Of course, it is easier to make hairstyles from such beauty. But that's the beauty of long hair: you can create volume and density using various methods of weaving, ribbons, hairpins, in festive occasions, artificial strands. And a few more recommendations for thin hair:
- runny hair should not be pulled into very tight braids;
- tails at the ends of the braids should be left more than 5 cm so that they do not look like rat tails;
- hair must be carefully looked after, not allowed to be oily - this makes the hair seem even thinner;
- before braiding, you can comb your hair quite a bit, and then braid loose braids;
- you can choose hairstyles when the hair seems thick, although it is not.
One of the simplest examples is fishtail. Despite the unsightly name, the hairstyle turns out to be very interesting. Especially if you decorate it with bead hairpins or weave ribbons. Suitable for girls and girls of any age:
- after careful combing, separate a strand of hair for the entire length of the hair from each temple by a 2-centimeter strand;
- start to weave on the back of the head like a usual braid, superimposing the right strand on the left;
- with each new movement, you need to impose a small strand on the previously crossed ones;
- after weaving is complete, slightly stretch the curls to the sides.
These simple movements can create so many hairstyles, giving you the complete illusion of thick hair. "Fishtail" can be braided on a small tail and put on loose curls. You can braid from the forehead to the back of the head, leaving the rest of the hair loose. You can add kanekalon to your hairstyle, and then it will look very rich. And most importantly, you can choose your own version for each age.
By face shape
Indeed, choosing the wrong hairstyle, you can focus on a too round face or protruding ears. Therefore, it is necessary to choose an everyday “outfit for the head” not only on the basis of the principle “simple - quick”, but also “fits - does not fit”.
There are different face shapes.
- Round moon-faced can be pulled out with two braids, thrown forward. You can use thin elven braids from the temples, which freely descend over the shoulders.
- Perfect elongated oval face suitable for any curls, braided in two or more braids, baskets around the head, "waterfalls" and so on.
- Triangular face (pear) or inverted triangle it is important to find a balance between the height and width of the head. Bangs, including beveled ones, will help this face shape.
Before creating a festive hairstyle, be sure to experiment with different options for using braids and bangs.
- By square or rectangular face the hair should lie quietly to hide the cheeks and cheekbones. Braids should be braided from the neck. Small braids or loose strands descending from the temples to the shoulders will save the situation. You can also use a semicircular bang with elongated side strands that hide the cheeks and cheekbones. Moreover, for girls, it can also be a false bang.
- Diamond-shaped face also will save the flowing braids from the temples, "crown" over loose curls. Or you can use ribbons and hairpins, which will fall from the temples to the shoulders, lengthening the face. But for little girls, this is not an everyday option.
Depending on the occasion
Any hairstyle, including braids, can be casual or festive. Differences in the ease of execution, the amount of time spent, the use of hair care products such as hairspray, mousse, hair gum, dry shampoos. Accessories are used both for every day and for special occasions. The only difference is beauty, rich appearance.
Unfortunately, not all girls are familiar with the sense of proportion, hence inappropriate tiaras in the daytime or a huge number of hairpins and colored elastic bands for an evening dress or business suit.
Basic weaving rules
To braid your braids without spoiling your hair, you need to take into account the age, face shape, event, type of hairstyle. But in general, the rules are not complicated at all.
- Almost all braids are done on clean hair. The exception is, perhaps, Afro-braids. Or, before braiding, you will need to use special products to make your hair smooth.
- Everyday hairstyles don't have to be tight. The younger the child, the more gentle weaving method you need to choose: the hair follicles are still too weak for stressful hairstyles.
- Braids are not recommended for children for more than 8 hours so that the hair does not stretch and weaken the hair roots.
- For long hair, several types of combs are required: massage for combing curls along the entire length, flat with a pointed handle to create a parting and create a fleece.
- A hairstyle for every day for a little daughter should not take more than 5 minutes. Morning is not the best time to create intricate weaves.
- To make your hairstyle neat with your own hands, you need to take the strands of equal thickness and use the "weakening - clamping strands" technique.
- If the hair is very fluffy, then before braiding the hair can be slightly moistened with regular or special water. It is not recommended to do this at the last minute before going out in the winter.
Schemes and methods
According to the number of braids on the head, it can be: one, two - six, one hundred - four hundred. We are talking about fundamentally different hairstyles, for which completely different weaving patterns will be used.
Plain weaving
One of the simplest hairstyles is Malvina's braid or Malvinka.
- Braid a small pigtail from each temple to the back of the head.
- Braids are applied to loose hair at the back of the head.
- In the center, the braids are connected into one. Then you can weave one braid out of them or leave it in the form of a tail.
- If you immediately fix the hair at the junction with an elastic band or a clip, then several very thin braids can be weaved from the tail.
The more braids, the less the hairstyle fits the everyday, as it takes longer.
Volumetric
To create a sense of volume, you need to carefully pull the strands out of the braid to the sides, as is done in the aforementioned "fish tail". But you can add volume with a light pile, and then braid with a braid, for example, as in the "braided ponytail" hairstyle.
- Collect two high tails and comb them a little over their entire length.
- In each ponytail, begin to weave a thin pigtail from the elastic to the entire length.
- Gently braid the tail obliquely, gradually adding strands from the bulk of the hair to it.
- At the bottom, secure the hair with an elastic band and pull slightly at the ends. The ponytails will begin to turn into flashlights and the hair will become voluminous.
- If desired, you can fix it with varnish.

French
Perhaps every girl who has grown her hair at least to her shoulders tried to braid a French braid on her own - a spikelet. This hairstyle has practically no age limits. And with the advent of the opportunity to use artificial strands, everyone uses it - from small to large. Over time, many options appeared: "spikelet in reverse", "dragons", "basket" and so on. But the basis of weaving, presented in the diagram, does not even require a mirror for weaving on itself.
Moreover, the hairstyle will not be difficult for a mother braiding her daughter's hair. Step by step it will look like this:
- you can start braiding from the forehead (this is usually done for little girls or when using a "dragon" braid), a more strict hairstyle starts from the back of the head;
- we take three small strands, we do the first shifting on top of each other;
- further, with each step, new hair is taken to the extreme strands and laid inside;
- reaching the neck, they weave an ordinary braid, leave a tail, or make a bun of loose hair or braids, and also hide the hair under a spikelet.
When weaving a French braid "vice versa", the strands are placed underneath. As a result, the braid does not hide in the hair, but has a three-dimensional appearance, lying on the head. "Little dragons" are woven according to the principle of "spikelet in reverse", but from the temples or eyebrow arches with thin pigtails.
The third version of the French braid is the "basket". The hairstyle is so versatile that it can be both casual and festive. A high school girl may well make herself a simple styling option for every day according to the proposed scheme.
Two braids
The hairstyle looks very beautiful, which will suit both a three-year-old girl and a fifteen-year-old girl, with crossed low braids. Perhaps the beauty of her is the use of ribbons. Simplicity of execution and the possibility of everyday use are the advantages of this option. Two braids can transform into one, or, conversely, from one to turn into two.
And also under braids is understood a method of weaving called "bundles", when two strands, independently of each other, are twisted in opposite directions, then connected. When connecting, the strands are wrapped in the opposite direction. In addition, the braid can be habitually two, but the strands in them - and three, and four, and five. For example, this is how a braid is woven - a chain of four strands.
Small
During holidays, many parents weave African braids for children using colored ribbons and kanekalon. It is, of course, beautiful, but not recommended for children under 7 years old. Braiding takes several hours, weighs down the hair and pulls it together very tightly. But for teenagers, such a hairstyle is a way of self-realization. So why not?
How to braid yourself?
One of the most beautiful hairstyles for girls and girls is "waterfall". To perform it, you need to take care of the cleanliness of your hair. Let's consider step by step how the hairstyle is done.
- You need to comb your hair thoroughly. Apply styling product for safety.
- Separate the strand at the right temple, and begin to weave a regular braid. Put the upper left strand on the middle one, and move the right one to it.
- The left strand will remain free - this is the first curl of the waterfall. Separate the next left strand from the head and continue working.
- That is, at the right temple, each left strand will descend freely. Braid this part of the braid to the middle of the back of the head and secure.
- Do the same from the left temple to the middle of the back of the head.
- At the junction of the braids, secure the hair with a colorless elastic band and wrap it with a strand of hair.
- If the hairstyle is everyday, then it is complete. If it is festive, they make beautiful large curls.
How to decorate?
Along with long hair, there is a concern for accessories. Each owner of long curls should have hairpins, hairpins, ribbons, bows in their arsenal. Many people use rubber bands because it is convenient. Only these assistants must necessarily be not just silicone, but wrapped in cloth. Elastic bands are often made with beads, flowers, butterflies, in the form of springs, bracelets, that is, for each occasion, you can pick up a large number of jewelry.
Below are ideas for decorating different hairstyles.
Beautiful hairstyle options
Despite their age, girls are in situations where the hairstyle should be festive: family celebrations, holidays in kindergarten and school, and someone has a job as a model or presenter. Hairstyles for such events are usually done by professional masters. Preparing them can be time-consuming and require styling products and accessories. But for the sake of beauty that we women just can't stand it.
