How beautiful to braid two spikelets?
Nothing adorns a woman like a stylish and original hairstyle. To create it, it is not necessary to go to the hairdresser; you can do it at home. For example, one of the most popular and versatile hairstyles is weaving two voluminous spikelets of hair. It's very easy to make them yourself. The main thing is to follow the instructions provided step by step.
Peculiarities
Spikelet, fishtail or French braid - these are the names of the original weaving, which looks elegant and stylish on medium and long hair. This hairstyle, namely 2 spikelets, is suitable for women of all ages and social status. If during the Soviet era, two braids were associated with childhood or school years, then in modern society such weaving perfectly complements the business and sports style.
Today, "careless" spikelets with "stretched" strands are in vogue, which will add playfulness and freshness to any look. It should be noted that, by braiding such braids, your hands may “get tired” out of “habit”, and you will also not be able to visually observe the braiding “from behind”. We'll have to check the braids "by touch."
Two French braids, braided at the sides, look very impressive and completely "open" the face. Thus, this kind of weaving is ideal for women with an oval face shape. Those who have different proportions should competently "work" with the bangs and hide with its help the imperfections of the face. You can braid two spikelets on both short and long hair. To give the required volume, a satin ribbon is woven into the hair. This will add brightness and originality to the hairstyle.
Owners of wavy hair must first straighten their hair, as the spikelets will look too sloppy.
How to prepare for the weaving process?
So that the process of creating two braids in French does not drag on, pay attention to the following guidelines:
- be sure to comb your hair thoroughly and spray it with a special spray;
- before weaving, the strands can be slightly moistened using a spray bottle, or you can apply styling products, such as foam or gel, to them, in which case the spikelets will last much longer;
- straighten wavy hair with a curling iron;
- stock up on thin silicone rubber bands (when the spikelets are braided, they can be cut off) and small "crabs" to fix the strands;
- use a conveniently located mirror, preferably a three-winged one;
- weave braids with your thumbs, and pick up “additional” curls with your little fingers;
- start the process of creating spikelets in a calm state and take your time, otherwise you will have to "redo" the spikelets;
- if you are unsure of your own abilities and are afraid to ruin your hairstyle, then first practice on the hair of a friend or a doll.
Important! Learning to weave a spikelet for yourself is not difficult, the main thing is to purchase the necessary hair styling products and follow the instructions step by step.
Weaving patterns
Spikelet weaving options are striking in their variety and simplicity of execution. For example, the following tools and tools will help us to correctly make two classic spikelets on the sides:
- comb or brush;
- styling products such as foam mousse and varnish;
- hairdressing spray;
- elastic band or beautiful miniature hairpins.
The process of creating a hairstyle includes the following steps:
- carefully comb the hair, slightly moisturize and rub the foam into the hair;
- make a parting and start weaving the first spikelet;
- we divide the right part of the hair into three small equal strands;
- we put one on top of the other and "lead" weaving to the very ends of the hair; in the process, do not forget to weave hair from the side of the head into the spikelet;
- we fix the ends of the first French braid with an elastic band or hair clip;
- we proceed to create the second spikelet by analogy with the first;
- in the final stage, we cover the hairstyle with hairspray.
Important! Bulky spikelets will turn out if you stretch out individual strands a little with your hands.
To give French braids a slight casualness and novelty, they can be braided inside out (vice versa). The process is simple, but painstaking and looks like this:
- we divide the hair along the parting line;
- on the right side, we fix the strand with a hairpin;
- take the right strand and divide it into three parts;
- we start braiding in French (vice versa);
- we fix the tips of the first spikelet with a silicone rubber band;
- weave a spikelet on the right side by analogy with the previous one;
- slightly stretch some strands to give the required volume.
And also the so-called Greek braid is an original hairstyle for creating a romantic and delicate image. It practically "frames" the head and looks very stylish. Such weaving delights others. If you have medium length hair, you can create a "Greek" braid from two spikelets. We need the following tools and tools:
- thin plastic comb;
- a small "crab" for fixing the strands;
- styling products (mousse, hairspray);
- hairpins and "invisible".
The weaving process is as follows:
- carefully comb the hair, rub in the foam and divide it into two parts on both sides of the parting;
- weave spikelets on each side (we do not tighten the strands tightly), "adding" strands to the main braids from the side parts, while on one side the spikelet should be close to the face; for expressiveness of the hairstyle, the spikelets are made as thick as possible;
- in the final stage, we fix the ends of the braids with small elastic bands and create a "crown" from them, which we fasten with hairpins or invisible ones;
- generously cover the hair with varnish.
If you have medium hair of a small "density", then you should not renounce fashion trends. You will be able to braid two spikelets with a satin or nylon ribbon, which will give the hair the desired volume. So, it's worth taking the following tools:
- thin plastic comb;
- miniature "crabs";
- thin elastic bands (2 pieces);
- two satin ribbons of gentle, pastel colors;
- mousse foam or gel.
The following sequence of actions should be followed:
- comb clean hair, divide it into two parts along the parting line and apply special styling products (mousse) to it;
- we start weaving the first spikelet, weaving the side strands;
- on the second turn, we take one tape, put it on the inside of the braid and carefully weave it;
- in the final stage, we fix the first spikelet with an elastic band;
- further, we proceed to the second spikelet of hair - we weave it by analogy with the first, weaving another ribbon;
- in the final stage, it is better not to use fixing varnish, it can leave ugly stains on the material of the tapes.
For owners of short hair, a partial French braid is suitable.
With its help, you can create an amazingly beautiful hairstyle with loose hair, which is perfect for significant events and will make your look gentle and romantic. We will need tools and means such as:
- voluminous comb;
- hair styling products (mousse, varnish);
- hairpins and "invisible".
It is worth following steps such as:
- wash your hair and style;
- comb them carefully, rub in the foam and separate the middle strand from the temporal parts (from ear to ear);
- we begin vertical weaving of a thin spikelet from the side of the right temple, gradually weaving curls from the rest of the hair;
- we finish the spikelet in the "area" of the cheekbones and fix it with invisibility;
- We cover the hair with varnish abundantly.
If you have long, thick hair, then you can make two small spikelets from exclusively "side" strands. It is worth performing such actions as:
- comb the hair and separate small curls on each side, and collect the rest of the hair in a ponytail;
- weave thin side braids in French, framing the line of the face;
- fix the ends with small hairpins decorated with rhinestones;
- let loose the rest of the hair and comb;
- lightly spray the entire hair with varnish for fixing.
As a result, this braiding will decorate your gorgeous hair in an original way. Such a hairstyle will be relevant for "going out" at any time of the year.
