- From the strands obtained, you should begin to weave the usual classic braid.
- Now you need to be careful. The beginning of weaving proceeds according to the classical technology, but after two weaves it is necessary to start adding a small curl to each strand from the sides.
- Weaving braids is necessary until the curls run out. Once the hair is completely gathered into a single ponytail, the braid should be secured, and the remaining tip should be braided like a regular classic braid.
How to braid in kindergarten?
When collecting a child for kindergarten, each mother considers all possible risks - these are removable underwear, spare socks, comfortable shoes, and, most importantly, a hairstyle that will adorn the head of a little girl during the day without causing discomfort and anxiety.
For an active child, it is very important that the curls do not dangle in different directions. An athletic girl runs, jumps, plays, and accordingly, her hair may be disheveled by lunchtime. Hair will constantly get in your eyes and get in the way. That is why it is proposed to learn how to weave a pigtail-basket. The result is two braids intertwining from the sides around the head.
- The first thing to do before creating this hairstyle is to comb the child's hair. Then, using a comb with a sharp end, divide the hair into 2 equal parts along the parting.
- On the front side, it is necessary to separate a small strand between the frontal lobe and the ear. Now you can start weaving braids using French technology.
- Weaving occurs gradually, with each spikelet weaving, it is necessary to add curls on the right and left sides. Having reached the cervical region, the braid must be secured. The spike is woven on the other side of the head in the same way.
- After the braids have met near the neck, the right ear goes to the left side, respectively, the left weave goes to the right side. For fastening, you should use bobby pins or hairpins. Fixation should occur when the braids are connected in the neck area and at the very end.
This weaving method resembles the classic version of the 70-80s with two braids on the sides. But thanks to some modernization and the introduction of additional fixing elements, such an unusual basket is obtained.
Since the hair is tightly fixed, the curls do not crumble during the game, do not come out from different sides.
The fishtail braid has become a fairly popular hairstyle for girls of kindergarten age. As the name suggests, the execution of this hairstyle is a rather complicated process, unbearable for novice “stylists”. But everything is not so scary, the main thing is to correctly distribute the sequence of actions.
- First, you need to comb your hair along the entire length. Then collect them in a high ponytail and tighten with a silicone rubber band so that it does not stand out and does not catch the eye.
- A small strand is separated from a single ponytail and wrapped over the fixing elastic band, then fixed with an invisible one. The remnants of the collected hair must be divided into two parts.
- A thin curl is separated from the right strand of the tail and transferred to the left side. A small curl is also separated from the left strand and transferred to the right side. Weaving takes place according to this pattern. It is very important that the separated curls of the strands are the same size. At the end of the hairstyle, the tip of the tail must be fixed with an ordinary rubber band.
Holiday options
Everyone knows that every kindergarten and school attaches great importance to festive events. Any mass holiday is accompanied by matinees, at which children should appear dressed up. Each mother, having learned about such a festival, begins to prepare her daughter in advance. Comes up with an image and a decent hairstyle. For example, for the spring holidays, the ribbon cascade looks quite relevant. The main thing is that an adult has enough patience to perform this step-by-step hairstyle. Although any parent will give one hundred percent to make his child the most beautiful.
- Before you start braiding the cascade, you need to weave the ribbon into your hair. It can be neatly pinned invisibly or tied to the first strand. In general, fix it in the most convenient way. In addition, the options for fixing the tape must be considered taking into account the thickness of the woven decoration. The ribbon should be folded twice at an approximate distance to the first strand at the temple, about 3-4 cm from the line of the beginning of hair growth.
- Three strands must be separated near the forehead. They should be positioned in such a way that the woven ribbon is the third in a row from the left side. It is this strand that first enters into weaving, it is carried out under the first selected curl, then over the ribbon strand.
- The last strand is laid out on the one that preceded it, and then passes under the ribbon strand and fits under the extreme curl. Then the curl is folded into a strand with a ribbon and held under the extreme strand of the right side.
- Next, you need to grab a small part of the hair and add it to the side curl. The resulting thickened strand of hair goes under the curl with the ribbon, then under the left strand.
- It is important to note that this hair braiding technology should flow diagonally, due to which all loose hair will be gathered into a single braid.
- Almost at the very end of creating a hairstyle, weaving ends with the interception of free curls. The tip of the resulting tail must be fastened with a transparent rubber band. The remaining length of the tape is wound over the silicone fixation and tied in a bow.
This weaving method is rather complicated and it will not work to create a high-quality hairstyle the first time. But after several attempts, the result will surpass all expectations.

These suits look especially good on girls with a graceful long neck. To emphasize this advantage, it is necessary to use not only pearl or silver jewelry. You need to choose a special hairstyle. In this case, laying the spikelet "upside down" would be the ideal option.
- First, you need to sit the child in such a way that the head is tilted slightly forward, and the hair hangs down freely.
- Loose strands must be carefully combed, slightly moistened with plain water or conditioner.
- A large section of hair is detached at the base of the neck and divided into three separate sections.
- Next, you need to start weaving a French spikelet.
- As soon as the braid reaches the level of the back of the head, and all the hair is already woven into the spikelet, you will need to carefully secure the ponytail.
- If the ends of the hair are thin, it is best to use a foam rubber "donut", with which it will turn out to create a voluminous bun. "Bagels" are divided into different types, thus it is possible to choose the most suitable size.
- This very "donut" is put on the resulting ponytail, then wrapped around the hair. The tip is hidden under the base of the "donut".
When creating this hairstyle, you can use ribbon weaving. And when fixing the "donut", use the remaining ends to tie a bow.
