Simple diagram for beginners
Learning to braid a spikelet for yourself is not difficult at all. By learning this technique, you will look perfect every day without the help of a hairdresser, regardless of whether you have short, medium or long hair.

It is recommended to weave a pigtail according to a certain pattern.
- Comb your curls well.
- In order for the braid to hold for a long time, and in the process of its creation, there are no roosters, it is recommended to first apply a small amount of foam to the hair. If it is not at hand, you can sprinkle the hair with water from a spray bottle. Thus, the strands will be smooth, they will fit well in the hand, they will not get tangled and not electrified.
- If you are the owner of wavy hair, then before braiding it must be smoothed with an iron, then the process of creating a spikelet will be easier and more convenient.
- On the crown, divide the hair into three equal parts.
![](https://fashion.decorexpro.com/images/article/thumb/715-0/2018/12/kak-zaplesti-kolosok-samoj-sebe.jpg)
- Stretch a strand from the left side under the middle, then under the right.
- Make the curl, which was on the far right, in the middle.
- Weave hair from the edges into the center strand. It is important that the hair pulled up is the same size.

- Make the side strand central, weave hair into it from the sides.
- Repeat the previous steps until there is no loose hair on the sides.
![](https://fashion.decorexpro.com/images/article/thumb/715-0/2018/12/kak-zaplesti-kolosok-samoj-sebe-3.jpg)
- Braid the spikelet like a classic braid and secure with an elastic band.
- Owners of short hair are advised to create a spikelet according to the above scheme. One classic braid, braided over the entire length of the hair or only up to the middle, will add seductiveness to the image. You can decorate your hairstyle with hairpins and elastic bands with floral elements, for example, with lilac, rowan or even a real flower.

By the way, a spikelet can be used instead of curlers, it is enough to braid braids in this technique on washed damp hair and leave it like that overnight. The size of the curls will be directly proportional to the thickness of the strands used to create the braid.

![](https://fashion.decorexpro.com/images/article/cropped/135-135/2018/12/kak-zaplesti-kolosok-samoj-sebe-77.jpg)
- Make a parting, thereby dividing all the hair in half, and comb the hair. A comb with a pointed tail will help to achieve evenness when creating a parting.
- To make it easier to work with the hair and to avoid the formation of "roosters", it is recommended to lightly lubricate the hair with grape oil or wax.
- Part hair from ear to forehead on one side of the head. Separate a thin strand from the resulting mass (the thinner it is, the more delicate and elegant the weaving will turn out, in addition, it is easier to work with thin strands).
- Using two fingers (second and third), divide the separated strand into three equal shares.
- Bring the side curls under the middle strand. To make the hairstyle voluminous, it is not recommended to tighten the strands tightly.
![](https://fashion.decorexpro.com/images/article/thumb/715-0/2018/12/kak-zaplesti-kolosok-samoj-sebe-7.jpg)
- Fold the strands at the top and bottom together, braid a pigtail, taking two strands as a basis.
- While the spikelet is weaving, the free curl should intersect with the central strand all the time.
- When the spikelet is woven on the right, then the strand must be picked up with the corresponding hand, and the position of the opposite hand must fall on the first finger of the right. All other operations are performed by the hand on the left side of the head.
![](https://fashion.decorexpro.com/images/article/thumb/715-0/2018/12/kak-zaplesti-kolosok-samoj-sebe-8.jpg)
- Separate a small curl from the hair on the right side. Put on the third finger of the closest hand, and bring this strand under the right extreme. Under this added strand, bring another one, separated from the right side.
- The braid on the other part of the head is woven in a similar way.
- The hair on the left is held by the fingers of the same hand (all but the first).
![](https://fashion.decorexpro.com/images/article/thumb/715-0/2018/12/kak-zaplesti-kolosok-samoj-sebe-9.jpg)
- The fingers of the right hand (second or third) separate a small strand of hair from the hair to the left of the head. The first and second fingers of the left hand help. Next, the curl is transferred to the opposite hand.
- Pull the side curl on the right slightly and hold it with the corresponding hand.
- Separate the strand from the edge of the loose hair on the right side of the head and put it on the left strand.
![](https://fashion.decorexpro.com/images/article/thumb/715-0/2018/12/kak-zaplesti-kolosok-samoj-sebe-10.jpg)
There are several ways to add strands:
- select a lock from the bulk of the hair, put it in and insert it into the main lock of loose hair;
- separate a small strand from the bulk of the hair, add a strand from the remaining hair and only then insert it under the central strand.
When weaving a braid on the left side of the head, you can hold two strands at the same time with your right and left hand. The index finger of the left hand should highlight a small lock, then the hand needs to be turned over, and the lock should be placed. In this case, the second finger on the right hand should pick up this lock. Then, on the left side, another strand is added from the remaining unbraided hair.
![](https://fashion.decorexpro.com/images/article/thumb/715-0/2018/12/kak-zaplesti-kolosok-samoj-sebe-102.jpg)
While weaving a spikelet on the right side of the head, it is recommended to keep your hand with your palm down. The index finger separates a small strand from the main mass. Turn your hand over, grab the lock with the middle finger of your left hand. The second and first fingers are responsible for maintaining the structure of the hairstyle and do not allow the already braided strands to weaken and unravel.The right hand should, as it were, "dive" under the lock, and her index finger should separate another lock and enter from the left side of the remaining hair.

For an evening event, two braids can be gathered into a low bun and decorated with decorative hairpins or a hairpin. This hairstyle will be elegantly combined with a long chiffon dress or a Greek-style outfit.

How to braid to the side?
Braiding a spikelet on its side is easy, but it will take practice. When the hand is full, it will take a couple of minutes to create such a braid.

The step-by-step instructions for creating such a hairstyle include a number of steps.
- The hair is divided into three equal lobes in the temporal zone.
- Weaving begins as if you want a classic braid as a result.
- A strand is taken from the opposite side and woven into the braid. That is, if weaving started on the right side of the head, you need to take the strand on the left.
- A similar procedure is performed with weaving strands on the right side of the head.
- In the process of weaving, you need to observe the vertical direction so that the braid looks more voluminous from one side than from the other.
- When all the hair is woven into the hairstyle, you need to braid the spikelet like a regular braid. At the end, secure with a satin tape or silicone rubber. To add volume to the hairstyle, some strands from the braid need to be slightly pulled. The resulting carelessness effect will accentuate your natural beauty.

Spikelet vice versa
Making this hairstyle is no longer as easy as the previous ones, but the effort spent will delight you with a pleasant result. The head will look very elegant and delicate.
The main difference between a standard spikelet and weaving, on the contrary, is the way the strands are woven: in the first version, they are woven inward, and in the second, from the inside.

To prevent the hair from tangling during the creation of the braid, it must be thoroughly combed.
- Divide your hair into three equal parts, and start braiding a classic braid. But in this case, the strands will not go on top of each other, but will wind up under others.
- You can weave a braid both straight and to one side. The design option depends only on personal preference.
- The finished pigtail is secured with an elastic band. To get a convex hairstyle, you should not braid tightly, and at the end of braiding, some strands should be slightly released. Then the hairstyle will look very elegant and graceful. It is important to start releasing the strands from the end of the braid, otherwise it may deform and find "roosters".

Weaving around the head
Recently, the spikelet framing the head has become extremely popular. Top hairdressers make it the focal point of their trendy hairstyle collections. This hairstyle will look good both on long hair and on the heads of girls whose hair is of medium length.
Weaving is built in the same way as if we were weaving a standard spikelet, that is, the strands are taken alternately from both sides, crossed and gradually new strands are woven. Typically, this hairstyle is woven from temple to temple. The braid is fixed with small hairpins or invisible hairpins.

Weaving in a circle can be done in "A la Greek" style. Part hair from forehead to ear from one half of the head. Fix the rest on the crown. Start braiding under the ear. Separate a strand from the hair from the frontal-ear zone, and weave a spikelet braid according to the classical canons, adding new strands from below. Weaving continues until all the hairs are weaved.
The braid is woven along the front of the head and ends at the opposite ear. The rest of the hair looses, and a spikelet is braided with the addition of a strand on both sides. You do not need to tighten them tightly. The braiding from the bottom of the head should be thicker. When there is no free hair left, a regular braid is braided. It should be straightened by slightly stretching the lower strands to give a similarity to the Greek hairstyle.The end of the braid is tucked under the braiding at the bottom of the head and is fixed with invisible pins or hairpins.

For a specific occasion, for example, an evening out, the hairstyle can be diversified. For this, the strands are pre-curled, and weaving is carried out only at the crown and up to the beginning of the neck, below the curls remain loose.
![](https://fashion.decorexpro.com/images/article/thumb/715-0/2018/12/kak-zaplesti-kolosok-samoj-sebe-31.jpg)
You can decorate your hair with decor. Here beautiful hairpins, satin ribbons, fresh flowers or a bandana will come to the rescue. All these accessories will help to make the image more romantic or, on the contrary, impudent.
You can decorate with flowers the whole head or just the base of the hairstyle, creating the illusion of a wreath. These elements are fixed with hairpins, invisibility and strong fixation varnish. Decorating your hair with flowers is perfect for a date or other evening event.

Satin ribbons can be used not only for evening rendezvous, but also as an addition to everyday looks. You can choose accessories in bright or delicate colors, of any width. The ribbons can be woven into the "spike" at the stage of creating the braid or tied at the end with an elegant bow.
The use of this accessory will add airiness and romance to the female image and, moreover, will contribute to a longer preservation of the hairstyle. Even if you braid a spikelet in the evening, in the morning after waking up, you will see that the pigtail is preserved and has not blossomed. And also this silk accessory will become irreplaceable in the winter season. The fact is that absolutely all hairstyles suffer under the hats, but thanks to the ribbon, the braid will not fall apart.
![](https://fashion.decorexpro.com/images/article/cropped/337-337/2018/12/kak-zaplesti-kolosok-samoj-sebe-34.jpg)
![](https://fashion.decorexpro.com/images/article/cropped/337-337/2018/12/kak-zaplesti-kolosok-samoj-sebe-35.jpg)
It is not recommended to choose ribbons made of thick fabric on the basis of a metal frame. Such a product can cause discomfort when worn for a long time. It is better to choose accessories made from natural materials.
To avoid such an unpleasant moment as dyeing hair with a tape, the latter must be washed before the first use. The same procedure is needed so that the multi-colored ribbons (if you have chosen several shades) do not paint over each other, touching in the hairstyle.
The width of the accessory should vary within 1.5-2 centimeters, and the length should exceed the length of your strands by 6-7 cm.

Hairpins with rhinestones or other decorative elements placed over the entire surface of the braid will add elegance to the spikelet.
![](https://fashion.decorexpro.com/images/article/thumb/715-0/2018/12/kak-zaplesti-kolosok-samoj-sebe-38.jpg)
If you want to look feminine, but at the same time a little "hooliganism", you can choose a bandana as an addition to your hairstyle.

"Fish tail"
This hairstyle looks very impressive, but braiding it yourself is not difficult. However, getting a good quality braid will take some practice. Before weaving braids, the hair must be carefully combed so that there are no "icicles" in it. If the hair becomes electrified or tangled, it is recommended to spray it with water.

The creation of a braid in stages involves the implementation of a number of actions.
- On the crown, take a strand, the base of which will form a triangle. Divide it into two curls, equal in thickness.
- Weave these strands once with each other.

- Take a thin strand from the wide edge and move it inside the braid, connecting it to the left side.
- A similar procedure should be repeated on the right side, introducing the strands into the main braid, similar to the weaving characteristic of the French braid.
- Weave the fishtail to the beginning of the neck, until all loose hair has been used, bringing the side strands inward.

- You can fix your hairstyle with a silicone rubber band or a decorative hairpin.
- To give the braid airiness and delicacy, a couple of curls can be slightly released from the hairstyle.
- To keep the "fish tail" in its original form for a long time, it is recommended to sprinkle it with varnish.
- If the natural volume of your hair leaves a lot to be desired, you can use styling products to lift the hair at the roots before starting the braid.

There is another version of the "fish tail" - the so-called double. This hairstyle looks very unusual.Suitable for owners of long curls, as well as those with medium-length hair. The easiest way is to braid such a spikelet for someone, but with a certain skill, you can do a hairstyle for yourself. The braid can be braided straight or to the side.

Divide the hair in an even parting in half, weave a regular spikelet starting from the back of the head. Draw the right strand over the left, helping with the index finger, then bring the left strand to the right. Perform the same action several times.
Pour water into a spray bottle. Sprinkle on the right strand. Fix the left strand with an elastic band. Dismantle the right strand into 2 and braid like a classic spikelet. After each pair of rows, the braid links are slightly fluffed from the sides; this procedure is not required with the inner links.
When the braid is braided to the end, it must be secured with an elastic band. The second spikelet is woven according to the same principle. At the end of the weave, the outer links of both braids are slightly stretched again.
In order to fasten the braids, invisibility is used. It is better to fix the pigtails with them in several places, for reliability.

After that, the elastic bands that crowned the tip of the spikelet can be removed and the braids can be fixed with one elastic band to match the color of the hair. The latter can be decorated with flowers or rhinestones.
