• so that while weaving the first side, the other part of the hair does not interfere, they should be stabbed with a crab or clip;
• start with weaving the left side, which should also be divided into 2 more parts - we should start from the top with two strands, which must first be put on top of each other with a cross, while it is best to fully use your hands - with your thumb you should hold the middle of the future spikelet;
• it is very important to weave braids, being next to the mirror, so the whole process of work will be clearly visible;

• weaving a spikelet, one strand of hair should be taken on each side, while the weaving itself should be, as it were, inside the braid;
• the classic version of the spikelet is tight so that the pigtail does not bloom, each strand should be tightly tightened, moreover, this will give the future hairstyle a certain delicacy; the better the spikelet is tightened, the longer it will last throughout the day;

To braid a paired fishtail, first you should practice doing a single one, and only then, braiding two even braids will not be difficult. The weaving process includes the following steps:

• carefully combed hair should be parted vertically using a parting comb, while working next to a mirror;
• the part that you will braid the second one should be tied with an elastic band or pinned with a clip, otherwise the hair will interfere with work, especially for beginners;

• then the same fishtail must be woven on the other side, observing the general symmetry;

Braids that are woven the other way around can also look very original. However, this version of weaving is considered quite difficult, so beginners may have to tinker with it. The weaving process is as follows:

1. well-combed hair is evenly divided into 2 parts along the parting; we start working from one of the sides, for example, from the left;
2. now a small strand should be separated at the forehead, which should resemble a triangle in shape, then this strand should also be divided into 3 equal parts;
3. further, you should start weaving, not superimposing three strands on top of each other, but placing them in turn at the same angle;
4. weaving can be done in any direction; coming to the end of the hair, they need to be fixed with an elastic band;
5. with such weaving, it is not necessary to make the braid too tight, since in the future, for additional volume, it will still have to be slightly loosened;
6. after weaving is completed on one side, the same should be done on the other;
7. to add more splendor and volume to the braids, the curls from the braids should be slightly stretched along the entire length.

In order to braid your braids beautifully and neatly, you should pay attention to the advice of professional hairdressers.

• It is recommended to comb long hair thoroughly before braiding, and if it is prone to tangling, it is advisable to additionally moisturize it. Also, you should not weave braids on freshly washed hair, otherwise they will disintegrate. The optimal time for weaving and hairstyling is considered to be 2-3 days after washing.
• Wet hair should not be braided as it will be very traumatic for the hair. In addition, wet hair is difficult to cope with, it constantly sticks to the hands.

• To make the braids lush and voluminous, you can pre-comb your hair slightly. And also for additional volume, you can use a special powder or mousse.
• It is best to start weaving braids on both sides with simple patterns, especially if there are no weaving skills at all. And only in the future you can move on to more complex techniques.

• For maximum convenience in braiding, hold it with your thumbs on top, and grab the strands on the sides with your little fingers, as it were. If you learn to use your hands correctly, the spikelets will turn out to be very neat. And the time to work will be significantly reduced.
• Girls with short hair should also not give up braiding two braids. So, they can use additional false hair that allows you to get the desired length for braiding.
